Chapter 170 Chapter 170
Before the actual combat training begins, each team is allowed to prepare the items they bring. Normally, you need to be fully prepared to defeat the monsters, so there is nothing strange about this.
Other groups were preparing water bottles, compressed cookies, compasses and simple first aid kits.
Qingtong's group A prepared some necessary items, including ropes, anesthetics, and cloth strips...
The others went to the infirmary to get some alcohol and bandages, and Qingtong and a few others went there to take away the anesthetic①.
Because it is an important medicine, the infirmary did not dare to give too much. They only gave a very small amount after dilution, and repeatedly reminded me of the dosage.
"If you are seriously injured, use the treatment medicine given to you. The healing process is not very painful and does not require anesthesia," said the doctor.
Qingtong and others were vague about the matter and did not mention that this was not used to anesthetize wounds, but to make people unconscious.
The training officially began. Several groups came to different entrances to the mountain. A bell rang and a drone flying overhead announced the official start of the practical training.
Qingtong took the lead, and several people nimbly climbed up the mountain. After crawling quickly for ten minutes, their speed slowed down. It was not because of fatigue. After training during this period, their physical fitness had already been improved. They slowed down because they were being cautious.
They clearly remembered what Instructor Li said, that there were traps on the mountain.
Sure enough, not long after walking, Su Sanan saw a very thin rope on the ground. Looking around the rope, he saw a section of tree trunk hidden in the dense bushes.
"This trap is rather old-fashioned." Su Sanan waved to a few people. After everyone leaned over, he pointed his finger at the rope and pulled it hard.
The rope that served as a trap broke easily, and the trunk of the tree flew sideways from the side, sweeping over the heads of several people, with the wind whistling.
"If this hits my shoulder, it would leave a bruise." Han Qi said with lingering fear.
Yueyue: "If it hits the head, it will make you faint."
Don’t underestimate this old-fashioned trap. It’s no joke if you fall for it.
"It won't hit your head from this height." Su Sanan said, "Okay, let's go."
Just as he took a step forward, his ankle suddenly felt tight. Su Sanan's eyes widened, and the next second he was hung up high by the rope tied to his ankle and hung upside down on a tree branch.
When the person turned over, the things hidden in his pockets fell out, including a small piece of rope, a mobile phone, a few pieces of chocolate, and a small bottle of medicine, which looked like a huge explosion of equipment.
"Wow, there are traps behind the logs, layer upon layer." Han Qi exclaimed.
Su Sanan's face turned red: "Don't say anything, let me go first."
Qingtong threw out a dagger and cut the rope.
The dagger spun in the air and then flew back to Qingtong's palm, melting into liquid and entering the skin.
Su Sanan supported his waist and stood up, picking up the "equipment" that had exploded one by one.
"I'm really old." Su Sanan sighed.
"Tsk~" Han Qi put his finger in front of his lips, "Someone is coming."
Han Qi's original ability was telepathy, but perhaps because this ability became stronger through his training, Han Qi unlocked a derivative function of telepathy - perception.
He can sense whether there are people nearby and how many people there are. This skill allows him to accurately transmit messages to selected people one-on-one from a distance.
The perception ability is very vague, Han Qi cannot describe it clearly, it is like a sixth sense, which has nothing to do with vision, hearing and other senses, just like someone sitting in front of a table can feel that there is someone behind him without hearing or seeing. However, Han Qi's perception can reach a range of nearly 100 meters, that is, the farther away, the vaguer the perception. And when there are too many people, it will become very laborious to distinguish, and the ability of voice transmission is even more difficult to accurately select people to transmit voice.
If it is in an open space, a range of 100 meters is nothing, who can't see farther at a glance. But on a mountain with dense trees and can't see far at a glance, this ability is very useful. Especially on this mountain, there are not many people, so Hanqi's perception will not be confused.
It is still far away from the location marked on the map where the trapped people are. The people you meet here are either members of other groups or instructors who play weird roles.
No matter which one, it is their prey.
"How many people are there on the other side?" Qingtong asked in a low voice.
Han Qi closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before he whispered, "About four or five people. The distance is a bit far, so I can't sense it clearly."
Qingtong: "That's the other team. Let's go, get the ropes and anesthetics ready."
As they had expected to run into people from other teams first, none of the team members panicked.
Just when the other party was very close and about to be seen, several people from the Qingtong team climbed up the tree and observed the members of that group from a distance.
Before taking action, you need to first determine which group the other party is in and who the members are.
The groups were divided by drawing lots, and the strength of each group was not equal. Putting aside the awakened abilities, based on fighting skills, Group A was the weakest, and the strongest was Group D, which had four non-awakened people, all of whom were from the military.
The first person to know his identity was Huang Tianzhen. Even during his internship, he could not change his impetuous temper. He did not try to hide his loud voice at all, and spoke with a laugh. His voice could be recognized before people could see him clearly.
Huang Tianzhen is in Group B.
There are three awakened people in Group B, Huang Tianzhen, Gan Xiaoqing and a tall girl. The rest are Ba Xiong'an and Qin San, both of whom are from the military.
As expected, Gan Xiaoqing was seen behind Huang Tianzhen. She was frowning and pulling at the grass with a stick. Huang Tianzhen beside her said casually, "No need to be so careful. We just cleaned a trap. How can there be so many here?"
Han Qi stood on the tree, hiding himself, and said silently: Aren't there traps one after another?
Gan Xiaoqing glanced at him and said, "It's better to be more cautious."
The two walked away, and when the sounds faded away, Qingtong and the others came down from the tree, squatted together in a circle, and discussed what to do.
"There are three awakened people in Group B, the largest number of awakened people...except us." Qingtong said.
Su Sanan: "Huang Tianzhen is a user of the ability to protect things, Gan Xiaoqing is a user of the ability to control fire, and the other girl, I remember she ran very fast, but I'm not sure whether she was speeding herself up or awakening the ability of her leg muscles."
Hanqi: "Baxiong'an and Qin San are very strong in combat."
Yu Huan squatted beside him, listening silently without saying a word.
"Let's start with the three awakened ones." Qingtong touched his chin, "If one person is less than the target, ten points will be deducted. Whether they choose to abandon their teammates and move forward directly, or waste time looking for them, it will only benefit us."
"Then...who should we start with?" Han Qi asked.
After Qingtong pondered for a moment, he came up with an idea and whispered it out. Several people stared at him with wide eyes. Yueyue was a little hesitant: "Isn't this... a little bit bad?"
Qingtong: "Soldiers never tire of deception."
Su Sanan also said: "I don't want to be trained by the devil."
It is better to die than to die as a comrade. Who made them a group of awakened people who have just started training for a short time? If they don't use some tricks in this kind of practical training, they will definitely be the last one.
Han Qi also nodded. According to his opinion, this grouping is very unfair. Look at Group D. Four of the five people are from the army. They are elites who have been trained for many years. How can they compare with rookies who have not been trained for a month in this kind of practical training of climbing mountains and saving people? Even if they have the ability to cheat, how far can they go? Su Sanan, who has made the fastest progress, has only condensed a water ball as big as a volleyball, and it takes ten minutes to read the bar. His voice transmission and additional perception are even more useless. A mobile phone plus an infrared thermal imager can replace him.
Yu Huan's ability is very useful and has great destructive power, but... Han Qi also vaguely knows a little about Yu Huan's experience. He probably doesn't want to use his ability on others, so no one mentioned Yu Huan's poison during this practical training.
Perhaps the most useful of them all is Yueyue.
Although her ability to change the material of objects requires touch, her practicality is much stronger than theirs.
Yueyue thought about it and nodded: "Okay, let's do it this way."
She doesn't care about extra training or not, nor is she afraid of extra training, but she wants to get first place.
I also want to try and see how to use my brain power to win when I am weak.
The leader of Group B is Baxiong'an, who is using a map and a compass to identify the direction, aiming for the first trapped person.
"Aren't you going to defeat the weirdo (instructor)?" Huang Tianzhen asked.
Baxiongan said decisively: "People's lives come first. We must save them."
Qin San also nodded.
These are the words that those who come from the military are often told by their superiors.
Huang Tianzhen said "oh" but did not object.
Not long ago, he was one of the people given top priority by the troops, but now he has become the one who goes to rescue people.
"That's not bad." Huang Tianzhen said with a smile, then he paused and tilted his head.
Huang Tianzhen heard Han Qi's voice in his mind: [Run quickly - the instructor is heading your way, go east... Qingtong, be careful! The instructor is behind you!]
Huang Tianzhen, who knew that Hanqi's voice transmission had a limited range, looked around and asked, "Did you all hear it?"
Baxiong'an and others nodded.
[Yueyue! Are you okay, Yueyue? I heard your voice, Yueyue? Can you answer me? ]
"Should we go and help?" Huang Tianzhen asked.
Baxiong'an nodded. He looked in the direction and saw a figure flashing in the bushes on the left far away. It seemed that the figure was wearing the same uniform as them, so he quickened his pace and hurried over.
Qin San and the tall girl followed behind, followed by Huang Tianzhen. Gan Xiaoqing was not very fast and lagged far behind them.
Seeing the people in front of her getting farther and farther away from her, Gan Xiaoqing climbed the mountain with difficulty, panting slightly. When she was about to say that someone in front waited for her, she was suddenly tripped by something, and then an iron chain tightly wrapped around her body. Gan Xiaoqing was about to scream, when suddenly a handkerchief covered her mouth and nose, and the girl fell asleep in a few seconds.
"Gan Xiaoqing's grades in physical training classes have always been at the bottom." Qingtong raised his hand and loosened the chain, "I knew she would fall behind, tie her up."
Yu Huan walked forward with a rope and tied the man up.
"Sorry, Xiaoqing." Yueyue put Gan Xiaoqing under the tree, put her in a comfortable position, and then said in a low voice.
Qingtong: "Let's go, next is Huangtianzhen."
