Chapter 127: Grand Exercise 5 [Update 1]
He Ziqian did not follow Ruan Xi to ensure his safety as Ruan Xi said, but returned to the monitoring center and watched Ruan Xi's every move on the screen closely.
When Ruan Xi had a problem before, the rescue team from the monitoring center was dispatched in time. However, their reaction speed was far slower than He Ziqian's. By the time the rescue team arrived, Ruan Xi had already set out again. This time he made an exception and set out in the dark. He didn't intend to sneak attack the people from the red and blue camps, but just wanted to find another reliable tree to catch some sleep.
After all, there are still at least three hours until dawn, and it’s all because of that snake.
Ruan Xi naturally would not waste the giant python's corpse. He put it into his storage ring and planned to deal with it when he had time. There were many treasures on the snake's body. What's more, it was a powerful mutant snake. The snake gall and venom alone were enough to make Ruan Xi excited.
"Xiao Xi, there's a tree up ahead that's at least two hundred years old. There are no snakes there." The tree's voice suddenly echoed in Ruan Xi's mind. He couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Actually, it's okay to have snakes. You can eat them, use them as medicine, and if you really encounter a mutant snake, you can even hunt for energy cores. It's a perfect combination of benefits and no harm!"
Da Shu: "...You are so naughty. Where did all those mutant snakes come from? Hurry up. If you don't rest now, it will be dawn soon."
Dashu was helpless after hearing Ruan Xi's words, but when he thought about it carefully, Ruan Xi was right. Thinking about it more deeply, it made so much sense. No matter what kind of snake it was, it was either delivering food, medicine or energy cores, which was a great thing.
Ruan Xi couldn't help laughing when he heard the subtle sigh of the big tree in his mind. The most important thing was that the arrival of the big tree made him feel extremely happy and at ease. That kind of peace of mind could not even be obtained by being with He Ziqian. It was a pure family feeling, or more precisely, a sense of security that only parents could give.
Although he felt a little sorry, Ruan Xi had to admit that his family on Funong Star, including the old lady, were not the family he truly recognized in his heart, but just... the original owner's family.
He survives in this world on behalf of the original owner, so naturally he will take good care of his family on his behalf. That's all. Although it's a bit ruthless, this is all he can do given his emotional investment in the Ruan family.
"Dashu, it's great that you're here."
"Well, I'll always be with you."
Dashu had the same feeling as Ruan Xi. The days when he could not be with Ruan Xi were a kind of hardship that no one could understand. He did not want to go back to the past.
"Look, is that the tree? It's so big!" The big tree was still sighing there, but Ruan Xi had already discovered the old tree.
Judging from its appearance, the old tree is a bit bigger than the main body of the big tree. This kind of tree is called standing banyan. It does not have a huge and fluffy crown as Ruan Xi knew. Instead, it grows upwards with all its might. The height is at least one hundred meters. Looking up, you can hardly see the top of the tree.
On the bare trunk, there is a round crown, and countless root-like branches hang down from the trunk, which are only half the height of the tree. It looks like a peculiarly shaped umbrella. This kind of tree cannot be climbed without some strong skills.
However, Ruan Xi was not worried about climbing up at all, because he had a big tree. Even if he was still as weak as before, the big tree could easily pull him up. The big tree was simply a must-have for him when traveling and couldn't be more practical.
"I like this tree! Big tree, let's go!" With the big tree around, Ruan Xi seemed a little more lively than usual. Seeing his happy face, the big tree was very pleased.
He Ziqian, who was staring at the screen in the monitoring center, felt a little jealous.
"Is it true that the big tree is more important?" He Ziqian muttered to himself, and subconsciously began to think about how to make his position in Ruan Xi's heart surpass that of the big tree.
However, this would be difficult. He knew very well that Ruan Xi treated Dashu as a family member, and he was his lover. There should be no conflict between the two identities... However, this imbalance would probably never be eliminated.
Ruan Xi's tree-climbing skills had been nearly perfected during the drills. No matter how tall a tree was, he could climb it. He quickly scaled the crown of the banyan tree before him. His movements were so smooth, like a robot specialized in tree-climbing, almost like a flash of lightning. However...
"Dashu, you helped me too early. You took action before I even encountered any difficulties. How can I get any training from this?" Ruan Xi said seriously, but Dashu sighed helplessly.
"That's enough, stop it and go to sleep. Are you going to launch a sneak attack early tomorrow morning? Are you planning to sleep in?" Dashu knew that Ruan Xi was still excited and was teasing him in all kinds of ways. Dashu was not angry, but felt both amused and helpless.
In other words, in front of the big tree, Ruan Xi would often behave in a particularly childish manner, which was something He Ziqian could never match.
After all, in the Goshawk Squad, Ruan Xi is a little miracle doctor who saves lives and is definitely calm, steady and reliable!
"Okay, then I'll go to sleep." Ruan Xi smiled with curved eyebrows, spread out the sleeping bag, got in and fell asleep in seconds. His movements and emotions were incredibly smooth, as if he was pretending to sleep, but Ruan Xi was really asleep, and the quality of his sleep was very good.
Because the big tree is guarding him, if another mutant snake comes, he is not afraid of being attacked again, because the big tree can take care of it.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Ruan Xi was about to wake up. The confusion on his face lasted less than a minute before his eyes became completely clear.
"Let's launch a sneak attack!" Ruan Xi has always been very enthusiastic about launching sneak attacks. Moreover, he doesn't play any tricks. He always takes a straightforward approach in sneak attacks, directly beating the person down before talking. He never follows the routine of "the villain dies because of talking too much".
However, today Ruan Xi was destined to run into one... or perhaps several tough opponents, because the entire team had been scattered by various sneak attacks and killings before, and could hardly form an effective counterattack force. In addition, everyone had psychological trauma caused by Ruan Xi's abuse, especially those who had managed to escape from Ruan Xi. They didn't even need to see Ruan Xi, just hearing Ruan Xi's name would make them shudder.
How can we fight this?
So, several powerful little leaders simply didn't divide themselves into red and blue defense camps, and planned to get together first to kill Ruan Xi, their common enemy.
"Lure the enemy deep inside first, then attack them all at once. I think this simple and crude method is most suitable for our current situation. After all, Ruan Xi is alone. No matter how strong he is, he is not a professional soldier. If his whereabouts are exposed, he can't fight a hundred people alone, and even fighting ten people alone will be a problem. We can completely use human wave tactics to kill him!"
This analysis made a lot of sense and no one present could refute it, but the fear of Ruan Xi had already taken root in people's hearts and could not be easily eradicated.
"He can't just stand there and let us fight. Ruan Xi looks aloof and well-behaved, but he's very agile in a fight. If we make any mistakes, we might be caught and then..."
There is no need to say what the result will be, everyone knows it.
"We have to fight! If we keep going like this, with more than a thousand of us, we won't be able to defeat one person. We will be embarrassed to the point of being humiliated. I can't afford to lose this person."
"I don't want to lose this person either."
"Then let's do it! I think Ruan Xi must be a little arrogant right now. After all, he's killed so many of us. If I were Ruan Xi, I would definitely be so arrogant that I'd lose my mind. There would definitely be a flaw. Let's look for his flaw and kill him in one fell swoop!"
"That's right, kill Ruan Xi, and then we'll continue the Red vs. Blue battle to decide the winner!"
While the people from the red camp and the blue camp were having a heated discussion, Ruan Xi was curled up in bed sleeping soundly. By the time they finalized the battle plan with dark circles under their eyes, Ruan Xi had already woken up and was preparing to start the new day with a sneak attack as usual.
Ruan Xi was quite talented in reconnaissance. He could always find clues and discover the existence of the enemy. Then, of course, it would be natural for him to launch a sneak attack. If the sneak attack failed, he would seize the opportunity to fight openly. Anyway, he had to fight a round before it would end.
However, Ruan Xi suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with today's atmosphere. He felt that the person from the blue camp who had just exposed his whereabouts was acting a little too deliberately.
"Oh!"
Ruan Xi was just thinking about it when he suddenly heard a panicked gasp from the front, followed by a chaotic sound of footsteps, mixed with cries such as "Run", "The big devil is coming", "Don't stay and give yourself up", etc. It sounded so sincere and heartfelt that Ruan Xi almost believed it.
However, these clues that came to him on their own initiative successfully set off the alarm bells in his heart.
"I'm afraid there's a trap, Dashu. Do you think I should force my way in?" Ruan Xi's tone was clearly full of excitement, and he looked very excited.
If the tree had eyes, it would have rolled its eyes and said helplessly, "Haven't you already made up your mind? Just do whatever you want. Why ask me?"
"Hehe! I want to see what kind of trap they have dug for me!" Ruan Xi was really looking forward to this, especially when he saw that the people in front of him were actually the red and blue camps joining hands to deal with him, he became even more excited.
This is more fun!
What’s more, it’s more convenient and quick to slaughter them because they all gather together!
The uniformly distributed weapons are indeed only a simulated gun, but large-scale exercises will never restrict students' ability to do it themselves. As long as you can make it and it does not directly endanger your own life or the lives of others, then this weapon or tool is reasonable and no one will stop you from using it.
So, when everyone thought that as long as they controlled Ruan Xi's gun, they could control his fighting ability, Ruan Xi suddenly changed from being straightforward and even rigid to being full of tricks.
"Fuck, is this a different person? Where did he get all these weird things?"
