Chapter 88 What is this?
"So, this is a blessing and a curse. When the opponent's genes are devoured, the heart will form a protective shield that can repair the damage to the heart and keep the heart beating.
It takes up to twelve hours for the high-level super-powered beast's genes to completely invade the human body and control the brain.
Therefore, within these twelve hours, you have time to survive and save yourself.
This is the gene clearing needle, everyone should keep it with you.
Another point is that the fatal weakness of these advanced super-powered beasts is also in the heart, and injuries to the cervical arteries are not fatal to them.
Only when the heart is completely shattered can it be considered complete death.
Remember.
The situation this time is even more difficult than your previous social training outside. This is a real test of what you have learned in the past three years.
Do you understand? "
Liao Yuxian said with a stern expression.
"Understood!"
After everyone responded, they took the initiative to take the gene-clearing injection, put on the positioning bracelet, and followed Liao Yuxian to set off.
On the first day, Niu Xuejing and Liao Yuxian led a team of twelve students.
Everyone followed the two in silence.
No one expected that this field internship would become so intense all of a sudden.
What Liao Yuxian had just instructed was to understand the characteristics and weaknesses of the alien beasts, including the gene-clearing injection. It would take more than a few weeks to fully deal with such a whole process.
It can be basically confirmed that such advanced super-powered beasts have existed for some time.
Not only Shi Changqing thought so, but the other students also had the same idea.
The news about the strange beast appearing in anthropomorphic form appeared last week or so. It didn't cause much of a stir, probably because no photos were released. It was all reported by some enthusiastic citizens who claimed to have seen it with their own eyes.
There are no videos or photos, only some heated discussions.
What they saw today really shocked their three views.
"Commander Liao, how strong are these beasts? How do they compare to the last batch of super-powered beasts?"
Gong Shangling walked in the team to inquire about the information of the strange beast. The school allowed them to come out and contact it, including other military academies. He speculated that the strength of the beast might not be high.
"Currently, the beasts that display anthropomorphic movements all possess high mental strength, ranging from 3S to 4S. Their attack strength is no different from that of normal super-powered beasts, so there's no need to worry about this."
"That's good." Someone breathed a sigh of relief.
“But they share one characteristic with the super-powered beasts, which is the ability to conceal their spiritual energy fluctuations. Therefore, we are here to find the lair of these beasts.
But I heard that some of you here can sense the breath of strange beasts, so perhaps you can give it a try."
After walking for a while, Zhuge Li glanced around and her eyes fell on a jungle. She adjusted her glasses, and the lenses lit up: "Commander Liao, the strange beast is in the right front."
Gong Shangling, who could also sense the state of spiritual power, also looked focused. His eyes stopped to the right and he said bluntly, "There are some here too."
Upon hearing this, Liao Yuxian looked at Niu Xuejing and said, "Teacher Niu, you lead one team and I will lead the other."
Shi Changqing raised his hand: "Teacher, there is also one on the left."
At this time, except for Shi Changqing, everyone has been fully armed with mechas. In order to prevent the content of the conversation from being exposed and heard by the group of strange beasts, everyone communicates on the mecha channel, and Shi Changqing can only communicate with them using his exclusive headphones.
Now, all three parties are involved.
What’s amazing is that Shi Changqing can also sense the location of the strange beast?
Thinking back carefully, it seems that the other party has never taken the initiative to explain for such a long time.
During so many field internships, Changqing also followed the team silently.
If she hadn't spoken up today, no one would have known that Shi Changqing had such a skill.
Zhuge Li looked at Shi Changqing in surprise: "You can also sense the location of the strange beast."
"Huh? I thought you all knew."
Shi Changqing thought about it and it seemed that he had exposed it when he fought with Gong Shangling for the monster points during the monthly exam, but he had not officially admitted it to the outside world. So they really didn't know.
“.”We know nothing.
Liesel grumbled quietly in the mecha cabin: "You've been hiding it for so many years."
Shi Changqing: “.”
Niu Xuejing thought for a moment and felt reassured about Shi Changqing acting alone.
But to be on the safe side, he still asked, "Are you sure?"
Shi Changqing made an OK gesture: "Yes."
"Okay, then go to the left."
So Niu Xuejing led five people, Liao Yuxian led six people, and Shi Changqing acted alone.
Everyone is still very relieved about Shi Changqing.
So the three parties walked in three directions.
Shi Changqing moved forward slowly according to the breath she felt. She pushed aside the leaves in front of her and looked ahead. A black panther was meditating with its eyes closed to regulate its breath.
Quite interesting.
This is not the behavior of a normal animal. In her previous world, this thing would be called a monster.
Abrupt, too abrupt.
Why does this thing exist in this world?
The other party had already opened his eyes when he heard the sound of Shi Changqing pulling the leaves, and the man and the beast looked at each other.
In an instant, the black panther suddenly stood up and walked upright like a human, just like the gray wolf trapped in the stronghold.
It reacted quickly, baring its sharp claws and pouncing straight at Shi Changqing.
The opponent's speed seemed too slow to it, so Shi Changqing stretched out his fist with ease and punched it in the abdomen.
The powerful impact caused the entire black panther to be thrown onto the tree behind it, and a large area of trees fell over and creaked.
Shi Changqing teleported in front of it and was slightly surprised to see that it was still alive and well. No wonder Liao Yuxian said that the heart was the fatal part. A normal person or other strange beast would have died after being hit by her.
In order to verify what she was thinking, she punched the Black Panther in the heart.
Blood and flesh splattered everywhere, and Black Panther died without even fighting back.
After Shi Changqing used its fur to dry his hands, he slowly followed its scent to find the strange beast.
The attack just now was too fast. She should dig out its heart to see what's so special about it.
After walking for a while, they encountered a strange beast with a tiger head and a human body.
When the tiger beast saw Shi Changqing, its eyes flashed with brilliance and it suddenly pounced towards her.
Shi Changqing knocked the tiger unconscious with a punch on the head. Looking at the unconscious tiger beast on the ground, she took out a sharp dagger and began to dissect it.
The palm-sized heart was still beating in his hand, just a little weaker.
This is similar to a heart of stone.
There is a protective shield visible to the naked eye on it, which is similar to an ordinary energy shield.
So, what was Liao Yuxian talking about just now, the layer of protection that allows the human heart to be injured but still be fine?
Shi Changqing crushed the heart in his hand with an expressionless face, but no force came out.
Come to think of it, those people behind the scenes must have studied the similarities between the two hearts. If this thing can also be used as an energy supplement to enhance human strength, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to participate in this field training.
Could it be a branch of that underground heart monster?
Shi Changqing shook her head slightly. Forget it, this is not her concern. She should just deal with it as it comes.
She continued to search for strange beasts in this area.
They walked further and further away until dusk fell, and Niu Xuejing's voice came through the headphones: "Shi Changqing, why did you walk so far?"
Shi Changqing had just finished off a strange beast with a punch when she looked around. Her bracelet showed her current location and the location of her base, which were indeed quite far apart.
She dried her hands before pressing the earbud communication button.
"Teacher, I'll go back now."
"How are you over there?"
"fine."
As she spoke, the micro-monitoring pinhole on Shi Changqing's collar flashed green light. Because she was relatively special and had no mecha to capture data, she could only use this method of monitoring data.
Niu Xuejing called up the footage from Shi Changqing's side and confirmed that she was okay before saying, "Okay, then you should come back quickly. It's still a little unsafe this late."
"Teacher, Shi Changqing is the unsafe existence. Those strange beasts should be afraid." Ge Wenshan's voice suddenly interrupted.
“.”That’s true.
"You guys should hurry up and catch up with the team." Niu Xuejing instructed the students he was leading in a slightly speechless voice.
Shi Changqing glanced at the sky and searched for any strange beasts nearby, but there were none.
He simply took out his mecha, turned on flight mode, and headed home.
When they came back, they found that the gray wolf at the Imperial Military Academy's base was gone. According to rumors, it should have been transported back to the military's research institute.
Shi Changqing listened silently while they were talking. If it was being studied, Shi Yunsheng, as a colleague, might have heard something about it.
However, more than a year has passed since the new generation of mecha designed by Shi Yunsheng made its debut, but there has been no further splash since then.
Shi Changqing recalled when she used it. The explosive power after the enhancement was incomparable to what it is now. It's a pity that she could only control it for three minutes.
Suddenly she began to think deeply. Since Shi Yunsheng said that the new mecha could stimulate her potential, could her strength increase further?
"Shi Changqing, what are you thinking about? You look so frowned. The strange beast you encountered today made you think about life."
After returning, everyone moved around the base freely. Seeing Shi Changqing touching his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, they were a little curious.
She suddenly stood up and replied seriously, "I think I can make more progress. I'm going to meditate and practice."
“.”
“.”
During these five days, everyone followed the two teachers on the S7591 planet. During this time, people from other military academies came in and left.
In short, this planet has basically become a place for students' field training.
But everyone noticed that the number of strange beasts seemed to be getting smaller and smaller recently, and basically not one was seen in a day. Even Zhuge Li and Gong Shangling shook their heads silently.
"It seems there are no strange beasts around here."
"Could it be that those strange beasts got wind of this and tipped off the enemy?"
After all, these strange beasts have anthropomorphic movements and can understand human language, so they will definitely work together in groups.
"I think, maybe Shi Changqing has done everything?"
Some students were looking at the map on the mecha's display screen. The red dot belonging to Shi Changqing was on the other side of the planet.
".It doesn't seem impossible."
This also left Niu Xuejing and Liao Yuxian speechless. Today was the fourth day, and normally they would return to school tomorrow afternoon.
Now it seems they can evacuate here early.
Not only that, the other schools can also withdraw their bases here.
But even though I thought so, for the sake of safety, I decided to patrol this area first.
At this moment, Shi Changqing was on the other side of the planet and had just dealt with the last strange beast within a ten-mile radius.
She closed her eyes and continued to feel the strange beasts hidden in the dark.
Walked for a while.
The familiar sound of a beating pulse could be heard faintly.
Shi Changqing instantly perked up. She immediately lay on the ground and began to look for the source of the sound.
Five minutes later, after determining the location of the abyss, Shi Changqing stood up, dusted himself off, and walked lightly towards the southeast.
When they arrived at a valley, Shi Changqing stopped and looked up at the crack in front of him that was only big enough for a hand.
She moved closer to the crack, and the sound of her heartbeat grew louder and louder.
Inside.
No, down there.
Shi Changqing squatted down with his palms covering the ground. When he was about to use his internal force, he suddenly looked down at the pinhole camera on his collar. After thinking for a while, he took out his mecha and fired a cannonball at the ground.
There was a loud rumbling sound and the mountain collapsed a lot under the influence. The Boris students who were far away were slightly stunned when they heard the loud explosion coming from the channel.
"What's going on?"
"It's from Shi Changqing's side."
"Shi Changqing, what happened to you?"
Shi Changqing replied: "It's okay, I'm digging a hole."
“.”
Niu Xuejing called up the video footage from Shi Changqing's side and frowned. He was really burrowing into the ground. Liao Yuxian also saw Shi Changqing's actions.
Combined with her previous actions, it seemed like she discovered something.
Being sensitive, she immediately made a decision and directed all the students to go to Shi Changqing's location.
Shi Changqing had just dug a hole and jumped in. The ground below was surprisingly similar to the underground of the Black Abyss Realm, almost identical.
At this moment, her landing point happened to be in the underground cave of the heart monster, and she went straight to its lair.
The furry ball had been frightened when Shi Changqing dug the ground and had already fused together. Then a mecha appeared in front of them.
Someone actually discovered this place.
Shi Changqing was now appearing in front of the other party in the form of a mecha. After sweeping the Black Abyss Domain several times, she had basically confirmed that the heart monsters had a common memory.
Now if she appeared in front of him with her true face, her chest would still record all the scenes, so Shi Changqing thought it would be better to be safe.
Just these mechas? Ha. The heart monster snorted disdainfully.
As a result, the next second, the mecha suddenly flashed in front of him and its fist pierced his heart directly.
The pair of frightened pupils reflected the figure of Shi Changqing's mecha. It never expected that the opponent would be so unexpected and so powerful.
With a loud bang, the monster fell to the ground.
When Liao Yuxian and Niu Xuejing rushed here with their students, Shi Changqing had already resolved the battle.
"Oh my god, what is this?" The classmates behind him arrived one after another.
In an instant, the relatively spacious underground space became crowded.
Liao Yu first half-crouched down, confirmed the appearance of the monster, then stood up and moved his mechanical palm along the wall, finally locking onto a wall.
She punched through the wall, revealing a beating red heart.
