Chapter 77 Successfully Entering the Circle Xie Family Does Not Keep Idle People
A logo image was then projected onto the bracelet.
The circle represents the venue. Yun Fuyu's position is a small dot in the lower right corner, while the orange safety zone is far to the west of the venue, almost inscribed on the westernmost edge.
The safe zone is quite large, with a radius of about one-third of the circular venue.
But - the entire venue is so huge that it seems to have no end!
It was obvious that Yun Fuyu could not reach the safe zone within an hour.
Yun Fuyu: "Such an unfriendly distance..."
Seraphina comforted him: "Zhou Bai and I should be able to make it. If you can't run, we can take turns carrying you."
Yun Fuyu: "I can try first. Anyway, run quickly."
Time is too tight.
"Beep—Important news alert! The first wave of the Star Beast Tide is expected to last 10 hours. After it ends, the players will have a 3-hour rest period. The second wave of the Star Beast Tide will begin 13 hours from now, and the safe zone will be adjusted accordingly. Please manage your time wisely."
This means that on the sixth night, the students will face a second wave of star beasts, which will not only be more violent than the first wave, but they will also not be able to sleep and rest.
The three of them didn't waste any more time and started running towards the direction indicated by the bracelet.

Song Jian also heard the notification from the Sky Curtain System and was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The captain stopped and called him.
"Hey. I was just kidding you. If you want to withdraw now, I can call the proctor for you."
These noble students have more or less heard about the emergencies that occurred during previous joint military exercises.
Sometimes the team needs to arrive at a certain location on the field to complete a special task.
Sometimes the rules of the game are suddenly changed, for example, students are required to actively fight, otherwise they will continue to lose points.
The star beast tide is the most difficult to deal with among many emergencies.
The first round of star beasts, mainly C-level and B-level star beasts, started from the outskirts of the forest and were released into the venue in batches.
These star beasts are all species that will actively attack humans, and their numbers are so large that they can overwhelm people.
The good news is that if the military academy uses the Star Beast Tide as an emergency event this year, the number of invigilators will definitely be significantly increased to ensure the safety of the competition. As long as the students actively seek help in a timely manner, their lives will generally not be in danger.
It’s not that the captain is kind-hearted.
But since the Star Beast Tide was about to arrive, they would definitely not care about Song Jian. If they stood by and watched him die without helping, it would be recorded on the live broadcast and would attract too much attention. So it was better to let Song Jian withdraw from the competition immediately.
Song Jian thanked him gratefully: "I withdraw from the competition, I withdraw from the competition!"
No matter how rich and glorious you are, you have to be alive to enjoy them!
Anyway, he was going to run away, and he would rather go home and farm than stay in this cruel military academy.
The captain operated the bracelet for a moment and called the invigilator.
Just over ten seconds later, a man wearing tactical clothing and black goggles appeared out of nowhere.
"Who's withdrawing?"
The captain pointed at Song Jian, and Song Jian pointed at himself stupidly.
The captain suddenly turned around and asked Shi Ling: "Do you want to withdraw from the competition together?"
Shi Ling looked pale and haggard, but shook his head decisively.
The emotion in his eyes... clearly shows unwillingness.
The captain made a final confirmation: "The Star Beast Tide is very dangerous. You must think carefully. You are in very poor condition right now. Although we may not need your mental support, if you want to stay, you must adjust your mindset and stay focused."
In fact, everyone in the team knew it well - the danger was not the star beast tide, and Shi Ling's mission was not spiritual counseling.
Their team had some special tasks, but the invigilator and the camera were nearby, so they couldn't tell them.
If Shi Ling's condition is too bad, it may cause accidents to the execution of the task.
The captain looked at Shi Ling, assessing the possibility and potential risks of Shi Ling playing a role.
The Xie family does not keep idle people.
If Shi Ling withdraws from the competition now, although he can no longer stay in the Xie family, at least he can keep his life.
If Shi Ling insisted on participating in the competition, they would take Shi Ling with them and ensure that Shi Ling was safe until he met Yun Fuyu.
Shi Ling shook his head: "I want to continue participating in the competition."
A vicious look flashed in his eyes.
In the past, Shi Ling thought that he would not have such strong hatred, but in just one month, too many things happened and Shi Ling's status had plummeted from heaven to earth.
At this moment, Shi Ling learned Yun Fuyu's secret - as long as he used this secret to threaten Yun Fuyu to be eliminated, Shi Ling could return to his previous position, and his previous evil deeds would have a reasonable explanation.
Even if it's dangerous, Shi Ling must give it a try... He absolutely, absolutely must not return to the civilian world again.
Shi Ling has worked so hard for so long, why should everything be taken away because of one mistake?
This is not fair.
The captain nodded to the invigilator and turned to leave.
They were not close to the safe zone, so they had to speed up.
Shi Ling couldn't run fast, so he had to be carried by his teammates.
After confirming Song Jian's information, the invigilator sent an application to the command center.
Seeing that Song Jian was the instructor, the invigilator picked him up and jumped onto the treetop, waiting for the aircraft to come and pick up the withdrawn students.
As the roar of the aircraft gradually grew louder, Song Jian's tense nerves gradually relaxed.
Finally...finally safe.
Oh my god.
This team of people was obviously unfriendly towards Zhou Bai's team. If he had the ability, Song Jian would also like to remind them.
But there was no other way. If Song Jian didn't leave, he would die.
Zhou Bai and the others can only hope for the best.
——————
An hour passed quickly.
Yun Fuyu and the other two were panting and running wildly, but even so they couldn't get into the safe zone in time.
The star beasts are released from the edge of the field. As long as they reach the safe zone before the tide of star beasts rushes behind them, there will be no danger.
So, time is not the most pressing issue.
The most pressing issue is the distance between participating students becoming increasingly closer to each other.
Everyone was rushing to the safe zone from all sides of the venue, which also meant that the frequency of encounters between teams increased significantly.
"boom--!"
Zhou Bai turned his head quickly.
He had extensive experience living in forests, and as soon as he saw the startled birds flying up, he knew the explosion was no more than two kilometers away.
"boom--!!"
Then, there was another loud and heavy thud.
In the distance, a huge tree collapsed with a loud bang, followed by another one, and the vibration could almost be felt on the ground.
It was obvious that a small team was fighting not far away and the situation was stalemate.
But they have no interest in mediating fights!!
Zhou Bai lowered his voice: "Change direction! Run over there!"
There was a fierce battle in the direction of entering the safe zone directly, so they had to take a detour to enter the safe zone.
Yun Fuyu's feet changed direction and he almost tripped over a tree root.
Fortunately, Zhou Bai was quick-witted and grabbed Yun Fuyu's backpack and lifted him up.
Yun Fuyu felt dizzy and was carried aimlessly for more than ten meters. Only after they crossed the ground with tangled tree roots did Zhou Bai put him down.
Zhou Bai continued to hold Yun Fuyu's arm tightly.
Yun Fuyu gritted his teeth and ran after him, even keeping his mental barrier outward the entire time.
The reason for training running for so long is to be faster when escaping, so even though Yun Fuyu already feels the dry and painful taste of blood in his throat, he absolutely cannot stop.
Three hours after the emergency notification, they finally ran into the safe zone.
The safe zone is fairly easy to spot.
It is like a light blue cover, with flowing light and shadow, upside down above the forest.
The safe zone barrier operates on a similar principle to the Sky Curtain system, albeit on a smaller scale. Except for humans, no living creature can penetrate this barrier.
At this time, the star beast tide had already started for two hours. The star beasts rushed from the periphery to the center of the venue and had not yet caught up with Team 81.
The roar of star beasts came from a distant place.
The three of them rushed into the barrier without looking back, staggered a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.
Yun Fuyu was leaning against the tree trunk, breathing heavily and almost unable to stand up.
"Cough cough, cough cough, cough cough..."
The strong smell of rust and the nausea from excessive physical exertion came over Yun Fuyu, causing him to feel headache and dizziness, and even breathing became difficult.
Yun Fuyu felt like vomiting and tried to get up in a mess.
It’s best not to sit down immediately after strenuous exercise - but he really couldn’t stand up, and finally fell to the ground, coughing.
The three of them were only ten meters away from the edge of the barrier.
A star beast saw them and wanted to pounce on them fiercely to bite them, but it ended up crashing into the barrier and was stopped outside, staring at its prey with a fierce look.
Zhou Bai recovered the fastest.
Just as he was catching his breath, he suddenly had an idea.
"Tell me, if I stay inside the barrier and use my mental power to attack the star beasts outside, can I get points?"
Yun Fuyu: "Ahem, you... ahem..."
Seraphina took out a bottle of water from her bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to Yun Fuyu.
Yun Fuyu took the water, moistened his throat dizzily, and did not dare to drink it immediately.
Seraphina said to Zhou Bai, "Try it?"
As they spoke, the two of them released their mental power to test the edge of the barrier.
The spiritual power carefully extended out of the barrier, quickly stabbed the struggling star beast, and then retracted it——
As a result, the star beast rushed into the barrier while roaring, and after a very short time of deciding between the three people, it decisively pounced on Yun Fuyu!
Zhou Bai almost jumped up: "Oh my god!!!"
He stabbed the star beast in the throat with one blow, ending its life.
Seraphina silently withdrew her mental power that had slowed Zhou Bai down by half a step, and did not dare to poke around outside the barrier.
Zhou Bai was still in shock: "Sure enough, there's no loophole... Fortunately, it's a low-level star beast."
After the student takes the initiative to attack, the barrier will determine that the star beast and the attacker are the same entity, and then put the star beast into the barrier.
The school had long anticipated that some people would try to score points in this lazy and slick way, and blocked this cheating route early on.
Yun Fuyu asked weakly, "Was it coming towards me just now..."
This star beast obviously bullies the weak and fears the strong, and it immediately picked out Yun Fuyu, who seemed to be the weakest among the three.
Zhou Bai slid to his knees: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
*
The star beast tide will last for 10 hours until dusk.
During this period of time, more and more star beasts will be attracted by the protective shield of the safe zone and be surrounded outside.
The star beasts are more eager for human flesh and blood and will not fight each other.
If there are still students who have not entered the safe zone, we need to speed up.
Those who have already entered the safe zone should be vigilant - never let their competitors drive them out of the safe zone.
The edge of the safe zone has a large space and few people, so it is not easy to encounter enemies. However, once someone runs in from outside the safe zone dragging a star beast, the first people to be attacked are the people outside the safe zone.
The center has more supplies and more people.
You have to choose between the threat from competitors and the threat from star beasts.
Considering that the current star beast tide is relatively low in intensity, the three would rather stay on the periphery than enter the inner circle to participate in the fight.
Explosions continued to roar in the inner circle, and disputes between students for supplies and scores were particularly frequent.
These violent individuals who take the initiative to fight are usually the best among the aristocratic students, the elite among the elites. The fighting is violent and fierce, and often lasts for a long time without eliminating the opponent.
However, it is still easy to eliminate the cannon fodder who accidentally entered the battle.
So it’s best not to get close to them casually.
The three of them ran to the tree and squatted there again. They specifically chose a big tree with lush branches and leaves, and ran to the top to hide their bodies.
[Has the Star Beast Tide begun? It doesn't seem particularly serious, so why are we all so nervous?]
[Why don't you switch to the main live broadcast room and take a look at the overall map first?]
On the map in the main live broadcast room, countless orange dots emerged from the periphery of the venue. On the huge map, the dots were as big as if they were dotted with a pen tip on a piece of white paper.
They were a little sparse at first, but increased rapidly over time.
By now, these orange dots were almost like a wave of fluorescent light, completely submerging the outermost part of the forest.
[Looking at the map, there are still people staying in the Star Beast Tide? Aren't they in danger?]
[No, the students were in a hurry to run because they didn't know the exact strength of the Star Beast Tide. In fact, there were only low- and mid-level Star Beasts. There were indeed many of them, but their strength was low.]
[Actually, staying outside the safe zone might not necessarily be a problem. However, you'll have to fight as many Star Beasts as possible, and you won't be able to rest, so it's quite tiring.]
At the same time, Yun Fuyu’s live broadcast room.
[Oh my, my wife was also cheated by the school]
[Information gap issue, no one dares to bet on the strength of the Star Beast Tide]
So the school's real intention is to quickly herd students into smaller groups, intensifying the competition for supplies?
[The first wave of star beasts was like this, but the second wave may not be the same]
[Haha, everyone has talked so much. I just accidentally kissed my wife and she fainted. She woke up and slapped me. I just opened the barrage after she calmed me down.]
【？ 】
[You want to eat shit]
【Just a fantasy before fainting】
[My wife slaps me. Don’t slap those bad dogs with thick skin. What if it hurts?]
Yun Fuyu had no idea about the strange content flying around in the live broadcast room.
Tonight, after the safe zone location of the second wave of star beasts is announced, the team must risk fighting with other teams and head to a safe place as soon as possible.
You definitely can't sleep at night, so you have to make every possible effort to get some rest during the day.
Yun Fuyu and Zhou Bai leaned against each other and curled up on the tree trunk.
The team’s current location is about 500 meters away from the edge of the safe zone. If a wave of star beasts really breaks in, there is still some time to escape.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: We will meet the Xie family team at the beginning of the next chapter!
Baby starts fighting!
Countdown to identity exposure
And important note: After Xiaoyun's identity is exposed, she will be investigated, but she will not be bullied.
After his identity and strength were no longer restricted, Xiaoyun stopped acting and just beat him up [dog head]
All the grievances suffered in the past must be avenged! Anyone who bullied Xiaoyun must be beaten!
Xiaoyun's identity being exposed will also be the point where F1 realizes the emotional transformation, F2 tries to openly come to the table, F3 is sent offline, and F4 actually comes to the table [three-colored cat head]
In the Xie family's team, the other four are here to carry out the mission.
Shi Ling is a tool. Xie family only told him part of the truth. His role is to take the blame afterwards.
