Chapter 24 Tempering 4
It drizzled at night, and the last section of the off-road journey was muddy and splashing. Xu Lingqu was soaked and dirty, as if she was wading through a swamp. Her face and hands were scratched by branches, and the blood that oozed out was washed away by the rain. She sneezed while running, like a stray puppy.
Instructor Chen followed behind. It was almost time for the training base to close the curfew for the students. On the smart computer, the instructor from the training base sent an inquiry about his and Xu Lingqu's current situation.
"Everything is fine," Instructor Chen replied. "We're almost there."
He saw everything Xu Lingqu did along the way. There were several points where he thought she should give up, but she just carried on.
It was difficult for him to describe his feelings towards this student now.
Xu Lingqu didn't think too much about it. Her current physical condition didn't allow her to think too much. Her body had reached its limit. The fact that this frail body didn't faint immediately was already giving her face.
She mechanically followed the route planned on her brain, relying entirely on her willpower to keep running in the dark.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of him, so dazzling that Xu Lingqu couldn't open his eyes for a moment and stopped.
Two people were walking towards us, wearing military smart waterproof clothing. The special fabric wrapped the two people very snugly, isolating them from the raindrops. The lights illuminated the entire road as bright as day.
Xu Lingqu saw clearly who was coming, it was Shen Shouli.
"What are you doing here?" Instructor Chen turned on the car lights at this time. He had not turned on the front lights, entirely for the fairness of today's training.
Xu Lingqu had delayed the time for so long, so it was reasonable for him to move forward in the darkness.
The accompanying instructor said with a headache, "This student insisted that he had left something behind during training that day and wanted to go out and look for it."
Shen Shouli's special status made it difficult for the instructor to refuse his request. No one wanted to offend General Shen's grandson and the future star of the empire with a mental power of S+.
Knowing the whole story, Xu Lingqu wiped the rain off his face and continued running forward, but when he passed by Shen Shouli, he was grabbed by the wrist.
If she hadn't been so weak, she would have thrown him over her shoulder.
"What's the matter?" Xu Lingqu asked.
"Your face, your hands..." Shen Shouli looked at the light red water dripping down her face, which was the color of blood mixed with the rain, "You have suffered a lot of injuries."
"Yeah." Xu Lingqu was a little puzzled by his sudden action. "So can you let me go and get treatment earlier?"
Shen Shouli froze for a moment, then let go of his hand, and Xu Lingqu ran right past him.
The rest of the journey was really not long. Ten minutes later, the gate of the training base appeared. Xu Lingqu arrived successfully and completed today's training.
The moment the door opened, Xu Lingqu looked up and saw many people leaning their heads towards the door. It seemed that most of the people were waiting for her to come back.
The outside of the base was covered by a transparent "shell", so the rain could not fall in directly, but fell on the grass along Xu Lingqu's hair.
The girl's face was pale and bloody, and the wounds on her body began to bleed continuously. She looked extremely miserable, but her back was still straight. She raised her head slightly and looked around at everyone, throwing the heavy objects and supply bag on her body to the ground.
This is a complete, victorious posture.
No one spoke, but someone took the lead in applauding. It was Lin Xiao and Tang Muwen. With them taking the lead, the students who were "watching the fun" applauded one after another.
Xu Lingqu's achievements have attracted much attention since today.
The fact that she was the only one in the fifth tier and she was firmly ranked first in the overall points ranking really made her a hot topic among the students.
Everyone was discussing whether Xu Lingqu could complete today's training. After all, the difficulty of today's training was indeed great. Some students with a combat orientation also chose to give up. Most people did not trust Xu Lingqu at the beginning.
"She should just be a good commander despite her sickly appearance. She directed the rescue operation very well that day."
"You keep talking about a sickly person, but what does being stabbed in the back by a sickly person mean? Is it just paralysis?"
Wang Qihu and others were just passing by and were shot. It must be emphasized again that they definitely did not fake the match. Xu Lingqu's fighting skills are really strong.
This made Wang Qihu wonder whether the positive proportional relationship between fighting and physique no longer existed, but the final conclusion was still.
Not everyone is as weird as Xu Lingqu.
Even so, he didn't really believe that Xu Lingqu could complete today's training.
But as Xu Lingqu's name continued to move forward on the map, everyone's ideas began to change step by step.
"Is Xu Lingqu playing our role? Why hasn't he given up yet?"
"People have the perseverance and determination to accomplish things, okay?"
"You see if she can hold on."
"How did I actually persevere with her?"
"Our great commander has returned to the training base."
Instructor Chen's car followed closely behind. He jumped out and announced to everyone, "Today's training is completely over. Everyone who completed it will receive two points. The top five will receive an additional point. Anyone who gave up midway will be deducted one point."
He took off his gloves and looked at her deeply again: "Go to the infirmary quickly."
After saying this, Instructor Chen turned around and went back to his residence.
Just as everyone was about to disperse, the door quickly opened again, and Xu Lingqu turned around to see that it was Shen Shouli, who had just said that he was going to look for something, and the instructor who accompanied him.
He reached out and took off the raincoat he was wearing, walked straight forward, and stopped beside Xu Lingqu.
"Have you found your things?" Xu Lingqu asked casually as he walked towards the infirmary.
"I didn't find it. I won't look for it anymore." Shen Shouli's voice was low, and it was vaguely felt that he had some little emotions again.
Xu Lingqu's current physical and mental state still meant she had no time to care about what the young master was thinking. She nodded and continued walking towards the infirmary.
Tang Muwen walked out of the crowd. He wanted to support Xu Lingqu, but was avoided by someone without a trace. He immediately changed his mind and picked up the weights and supply bags on the ground, and followed Xu Lingqu.
"Xu Xizhen and Jin kicked Sun Liao into the water and he's been put in solitary confinement." He now reported naturally, acting as if he were Xu Lingqu's secretary. "He should be released soon."
"Yeah." Xu Lingqu entered the infirmary, and Tang Muwen carried the things and handed them to the instructor who was in charge of the warehouse.
It was the third time they met. This time she was not alone in the infirmary, there were many acquaintances around.
Sun Liao, who was limping on one leg, looked at Xu Lingqu who had finally returned successfully, and his teeth were almost broken.
