Chapter 215
Yuan Jingke didn't know that the people of the Ren family had already suspected his identity, but even if they knew, what could they do? Two years later, he was now eighteen years old and officially an adult. He didn't need any guardian, so the initiative was in his hands.
The third day of the wilderness survival training was still spent killing insects and searching for medicinal herbs. The lowest level of insects they encountered was D-level, and most were C-level. They even encountered B-level insects a few times. Although Xiao Cheng and Yuan Jing worked together to contain the B-level insects, Ying Haiqing and Fang Kaihua's mechas were damaged in many places under the attack of C-level insects.
This situation occurred because Yuan Jing deliberately chose the route and avoided two larger insect swarms, otherwise their situation would be even worse.
After a day of killing, everyone except Yuan Jing was a little exhausted. Since they didn't find a cave, they set up tents in a sheltered place for the night. Yuan Jing went out for a walk and brought back two hunted game, which he cleaned and roasted for their dinner.
Yuan Jing also grilled some food for lunch, because the nutrient solution only lasted for three days and we couldn’t drink it all at once, so we had to keep some for self-defense.
Those who originally just wanted to lie down and take a nap, when they saw Yuan Jing coming back with the cleaned prey, immediately turned over and hurriedly prepared the grill, because they had eaten the barbecue made by Yuan Jing at noon, and they immediately felt that it tasted much better than the nutrient solution.
"I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such a skill. Brother Chen is really multi-talented." Ying Haiqing is actually one year older than Yuan Jing, but now he wholeheartedly calls Yuan Jing "Brother". His stomach growled and his eyes lit up when he saw the prey.
"Brother Chen, I'm here to help too." Ji Minyang ran over excitedly, "Brother Chen, please tell me more about these seasonings. I'll write them down and use them later."
Yuan Jing laughed. Thanks to the primitive orc world in his previous life, his cooking skills, especially barbecue, had improved a lot. Finding seasonings was a piece of cake. In fact, this planet now had some of the meaning of a primitive planet. If there was no interference from the interstellar empire, perhaps in tens of thousands of years or even longer, the planet would evolve intelligent life.
Of course, it is also possible that it will become a worm nest, and the energy of the entire planet will be eaten by worms, and the path of evolution will be interrupted. From this point of view, the Zerg is really hateful.
Not to mention Ji Minyang and the others, even the people watching the live broadcast were enjoying it very much. Some even ordered takeout and used the live broadcast as their meal. They also studied the seasonings he found and attracted some restaurant owners to see if the seasonings Yuan Jing found were worth developing.
After eating and drinking, the five of them still took turns to keep watch. Most of the viewers also left the live broadcast room. In the starship above the planet, Wei Mingfeng and the Crown Prince noticed the abnormal situation of the insects on the planet below.
"It seems that changes have occurred on this planet that are beyond our control. Our previous exploration of this planet may have missed something." The Crown Prince deduced, "Do you want me to take a few people down to investigate?"
The monitoring map in front of Wei Mingfeng shows the current distribution of insects. Many insects are moving, and the positions of students currently on the planet are marked. Some students have been surrounded by insects without knowing it.
Wei Mingfeng shook his head: "It won't be too late to wait until this wave of insects tonight passes. Let everyone be prepared to respond to students who ask for help at any time."
The Crown Prince was startled: "These insects are going to move out at night?"
"It seems so at the moment. Furthermore, these students' awareness of vigilance and precautions is still too weak. Many of them will fall into danger. Let the people below enter the planet and remain invisible and on standby."
"Yes, Admiral." The Crown Prince would not overstep his boundaries and interfere with Wei Mingfeng's decisions when carrying out a mission.
The Crown Prince personally led people into the planet to stand by, and Wei Mingfeng stayed in the starship. In fact, he was most confident in Yuan Jing. If the bugs fell into his hands, they would definitely not end up well. However, there were so many students under him, and he did not want there to be too many casualties, but he also hoped to train a group of students through this.
Nowadays, fewer and fewer soldiers have dealt with insects. The empire has been in a state of peace for a long time, so the people and the army of the empire have lost their due vigilance. However, Wei Mingfeng always feels that insects are a time bomb hanging over their heads, and they should never underestimate the danger of insects.
Judging from the current situation, the Zerg are showing signs of stirring again, so the original outdoor survival training planned by the military academy was not for this planet, and he insisted on changing it.
Although Yuan Jing was not needed to watch over him in the first half of the night, he was not completely immersed in cultivation when he sat cross-legged in the tent. Instead, he was doing two things at once. On the one hand, he absorbed the free spiritual energy around him for his own use, and on the other hand, he released his soul power to monitor the situation around him.
The unusual movement of the insects gave him a very bad feeling. This was just the beginning and there might be more serious situations later, so he did not relax for a moment when he rested at night.
Midnight is the time when students who come to take the test can relax most easily, because the situation of other groups is not much better than that of Yuan Jing and his team. Those who can't hold on any longer have already pressed the distress button and given up the test. Those who haven't given up have reached the limit of their mental and physical strength due to fighting with insects again and again. After all, this is not a simulated battle in the holographic star network. If they are not careful, they may really lose their lives. Previous field survival training has always had a certain casualty rate.
So by the third day, many people's bodies had reached their limits and they fell into a deep sleep as soon as they lay down. Even the people who were keeping watch nodded off.
"Oh no! The bugs have surrounded us. Let's get on the mechs and fight!"
"Ah! Help me! The bugs are dragging me away! Pull me back!"
The campsite was in chaos. They crawled and rolled to get out, only to see insect eyes flashing with faint light all around them. The breath they spewed out was about to make them vomit. In a panic, they got on mechas to try to escape. Some of them were even targeted by the insects before they could even get on their mechas.
"Press the emergency button, call for help!"
I can’t take care of any assessment at all. If I delay any further, my life will be in danger.
Those who were alert early discovered that the bugs were about to surround them, so they quickly woke up the others and escaped from the encirclement at night, hoping to hold out until dawn or meet other groups to cooperate with.
Yuan Jing, who was sitting cross-legged in the tent, suddenly opened his eyes, and then he turned over, opened the tent and ran out, shouting, "Hurry up, a large wave of bugs is coming, and people from other groups are being chased by bugs."
"What? How could this happen? These bugs actually attacked us in the middle of the night? Are those bugs so smart?"
Although they expressed their doubts, their men did not slow down at all. After three days of getting along with him, they knew how strong Yuan Jing's mental strength was, and each of his advance warnings had never been wrong. It can be said that they had been fine for the past three days, and no one was injured, which was inseparable from Yuan Jing's contribution.
So they immediately folded up the tent and took out the mecha directly from the space button. Ying Haiqing once again carried Ji Minyang into his mecha and waited for Yuan Jing's order. Yes, unknowingly, the leader of the team had been transferred from Xiao Cheng to Yuan Jing. No one, including Xiao Cheng, thought there was anything wrong.
"Follow me." Yuan Jing's mecha took the lead and rushed forward. He "saw" that the situation of those people in front was extremely dangerous. Since he saw it, he could not ignore it, nor could he pin his hopes entirely on rescue from above. Such rescue was not omnipotent. Sometimes the bugs would be one step faster than the rescuers.
Xiao Cheng and the others immediately followed, and soon they heard a cry for help coming from the front. The shrill cry was creepy in the night, and it also meant that the situation ahead was extremely critical.
When Yuan Jing and his companions arrived, they saw a dense swarm of spiders and insects that had surrounded a dozen people and blocked their way. Several of them were stuck in spider webs and hanging in mid-air, with no chance to even press the distress button. Only their mouths could make sounds, but after a while, even that might not be possible.
"I have pressed the emergency button. If we hold on for a while, someone will come to rescue us."
"But with so many bugs, will they be able to make it in time?" Some people were terrified and frustrated, and even cried out in fear, "If I had known I would not have come to take the test, wow, I give up, I don't want to take the test anymore, I want to go home."
The crying person was a pharmacist. He huddled in the middle, but the person in front of him was still controlling the mecha to drive away the spiders that were shrinking the encirclement. The mecha was seriously damaged and its combat effectiveness was less than half of what it had before. It was doomed to be futile, but they could only grit their teeth and hold on, hoping that rescue would arrive and they would be able to escape. No one wanted to die here.
Suddenly in the darkness, a ray of light came from far away, and the next moment the light fell on the insects outside. Those insects didn't even make a sound before they were split in half by the light. The light also illuminated a mecha behind them in every detail.
"Someone is here to rescue us! Hold on, everyone, the mechas are coming!"
"Our rescue has arrived, that's great!" Someone almost choked up. The time between when they saw the distress signal was so short, they couldn't believe that rescue had arrived so quickly.
Yuan Jing didn't know that they had misunderstood his identity. He just focused on killing the bugs, and used his mental power as if it was free. He exerted the combat effectiveness of this mecha to the limit. One bug after another died under his attack. Xiao Cheng and a few others who arrived a step slower joined the battle like Yuan Jing. The four mechas immediately tore open a hole in the encirclement formed by the bugs.
The head worm let out a sharp cry, and then the worms rushed towards the four mechas like a tide, and the pressure on the people trapped in the middle was immediately reduced.
"Be careful not to get entangled in their spider webs, as that would damage the mecha!" someone shouted loudly to remind them.
"Be careful! I'm going to look for the headworm!" Yuan Jing immediately reminded everyone in the channel.
"Brother Chen, have you found the headworm?"
"Well, I went!"
Under the cover of Yuan Jing's soul power, those insects were like spots of light. The bigger the spot of light, the stronger the insect was. The brightest spot among them was undoubtedly the insect head, and that was the one Yuan Jing was going to deal with.
With a rough sweep, there are hundreds of insects here, and their levels are not low. It is easy to get surrounded by them if you rely on them to fight. Especially since these insects are spiders, the spider webs they spray are very sticky. Once they entangle the mecha, they will also trap the mecha, greatly reducing its combat effectiveness.
While flying towards the head worm, Yuan Jing rescued several spider webs hanging in the air and threw them to the middle, hoping that these people could be rescued. During this time, his speed did not decrease at all. At the same time, he killed all the insects blocking his way, and smelly blood spilled down.
"Fuck, who is this? So fierce!"
"It wasn't a rescue from the starship. It was people from other groups who came to rescue us."
Some people in the empire were still awake in the middle of the night and took a look at the live broadcast. They saw that there were fights between insects and cadets in many places. They immediately sent messages to their like-minded people. As a result, many people woke up from their sleep in the middle of the night and opened the live broadcast platform on Starnet. The tragic scenes they saw awakened them all.
When they saw the mecha driven by Yuan Jing suddenly appear and carve out a bloody path in an instant, many people were excited and shouted "Oh my God!". After three days, everyone who had paid attention to Yuan Jing could recognize his mecha. This guy's mecha operation was too smooth, and tonight it looked even smoother than the previous three days.
"Oh my god, look at Chen Yuanjing operating the mecha alone and killing everyone. It's so exciting, fighting in and out of the insect swarm."
"He must have found the location of the head worm. Look, the head worm is summoning the worms below back."
"How did he find the location of the headworm in the dark night? And he hardly stopped during the journey. He has been killing since he appeared."
"One thing is certain, Chen Yuanjing's mental strength is very high. Only someone with extremely high mental strength can do this in one go. Without his presence, some of the people trapped by the bugs would definitely not survive."
"It's so tragic. I didn't expect there would be real casualties."
"Is it so easy to study in the No. 1 Military Academy? Military academies are not a breeding ground for wimps."
The head worm wanted to summon the bugs back to stop Yuan Jing, but the bugs were not as fast as Yuan Jing's mecha. They killed their way forward, and Yuan Jing soon came face to face with the head worm, an A-level bug, which was as tall as his mecha. Yuan Jing raised his eyebrows. He had guessed that it might be an A-level bug when his mental power scanned the light spot before. After all, he had already seen B-level bugs, and the light spot was not so big.
This time Yuan Jing did not hold back. He not only fought with pure physical and mental strength, he mobilized his spiritual power. His physical fitness immediately improved, and he operated the mecha even more. His cool moves made everyone who watched stare in amazement, including the soldiers in the starship in the sky and the people who were hiding in the air and wanted to rescue him.
They should have appeared, but when Wei Mingfeng in the sky found that Yuan Jing's group was rushing to rescue, Wei Mingfeng ordered them to wait, so the mecha warriors hidden in the sky were also amazed by Yuan Jing's operation.
"Looks so familiar," they said in the internal channel, "Do you think this student's mecha operation looks very familiar?"
"This student must be an admirer of the Admiral, so the moves he learned are all the ones the Admiral is good at."
"Bah! Do you think it's that easy to learn? Why don't you try to learn one? Can you learn these movements without someone to teach you?"
"This... you mean..."
"I said nothing."
The Crown Prince also saw it. He was amazed and understood what Wei Mingfeng said. Among these students, Chen Yuanjing was indeed the most outstanding. He could fight against the A-level bugs calmly. His overall combat capability was no less than that of A-level.
Perhaps when he grows up, he will become another Wei Mingfeng. He certainly hopes that there will be more and more talents emerging in the empire.
The headworm was unable to beat Yuan Jing back, and it squeaked in anxiety. Yuan Jing also had to guard against the spider webs spit out by the headworm and the insects around it. When he saw that the headworm wanted to retreat, he controlled the mecha to fly out from the gaps in the spider webs, then turned back and stabbed downwards, concentrating his mental and spiritual power on the tip of the long sword held by the mecha.
With a "puff" sound, the mecha pierced the hard skull of the headworm from top to bottom. The battlefield in the middle of the night seemed to be in a state of stagnation in an instant, until the mecha jumped up again, pulled out the long sword, and carried the brain of the headworm. Then the battlefield became active again, and the bugs fled in all directions.
"The bugs have escaped! We are saved!"
"Hurry up and kill a few more, these bugs are all points!" Xiao Cheng and his men were just exhausted from fighting, the endless stream of bugs made them suffer from claustrophobia, but now these bugs are about to run away, how can they let them go?
When this happened, they understood very well that the main bug must have been solved, so now they had no worries and could just kill the bugs.
So the people who were originally trapped cheered after being rescued, but Xiao Cheng and his men fought more and more fiercely, chasing the insects and killing them, which made those people dumbfounded.
"Which group are these guys from? They are so fierce!"
"He solved the head bug. It seemed to be an A-level bug."
Someone gasped. It was too dangerous. If they had known that the leader bug was an A-level bug, they would have pressed the button for help at the very beginning and would not have cared about whether they would get a result in the assessment or not.
"Is there anyone in our grade who is strong enough to kill A-level bugs?"
"It's probably one of those guys with SS-level physical fitness."
Yuan Jing had no idea that he was mistaken for a member of the mecha combat system. He was also chasing bugs like Xiao Cheng and the others, because these bugs meant points, and they wouldn't mind having too many points.
So on the points ranking list, we saw that the total points of their group was rising rapidly, and the ranking also climbed up again, jumping from third to second, and from second to first.
"Crazy, these guys are crazy, how many bugs have they killed tonight?"
"I think we can just recruit them into our army. They are no less capable than us."
"Inferior? We are inferior to that guy, right?" This person was referring to Yuan Jing who killed the headworm.
