Chapter 151: Update 1 + Update 2: Players lead the elimination group to a striking return! ...
The bus finally braked and slowly stopped.
The overseas expedition team members packed up their belongings and got off the bus with their golf bags on their backs, looking quite proud of returning home in glory.
After getting off the bus, I had a gut feeling that something was wrong.
No, what's wrong?
The yellow-haired man in the lead, Byodoin Phoenix, remained silent, but several members of the overseas expedition team behind him spoke briefly.
"...Where's our door?"
"No, where's the U17 gate? There's a gate here, right?"
"I remember it was there when I left. I'm not in the wrong place. Where's the door here?"
There was a flurry of chatter, all expressing confusion and bewilderment as to why the gate, which should have been there, was empty.
"Could it be that while we were away...the coaching staff and those guys were trying something new?"
“…”
"But even if we try something new, we won't be using the gate, right?"
You talk to me, and of course there are people who don't talk, but those who have a sharp sixth sense and perceive anything unusual around them observe carefully.
——Finally, they discovered strange signs!
"This trace...was it caused by an explosion?"
He squatted down and picked up the gravel on the ground with his fingertips, staring at Mitsuya Akuto who was analyzing it for a while, and frowned.
"And it looks like... it's been bombed for a while."
As soon as he said this, everyone started brainstorming.
The existence of the U17 team is a secret, and they represent their country on the world stage... If you think about it this way, if foreign forces deliberately interfere and want to wipe out their home country while they are competing overseas... it seems not impossible.
If we just do this...it would be a bit too abrupt.
Maori Jusaburo, with his arms folded, looked for a while, then scratched his head and looked towards the U17 training camp base.
Ji Yajiudou said this, and he hadn't noticed it just now, but now he saw that the entire U17 had traces of explosions.
This level...it must be an air raid, right?
"Who on earth would be so cruel..."
"According to the current battle situation... everything is possible."
Everyone's expression has gradually changed from playful and relaxed to serious and solemn.
The only person who stayed out of the situation was wearing a hood. His ears moved slightly beneath his dark hair. He keenly sensed some sound and looked in the direction of the sound.
Not only him, but the Byodoin Phoenix at the center of the overseas expedition team also looked sideways—
The sound of hurried, solitary footsteps approached from afar, and finally, a pair of large hands waved away the bushes that blocked the road.
U17 Base·Original·Mixed Training Coach——Takushi Ryuji!
Suddenly appeared in front of the entire overseas expedition team!
Seeing the U17 overseas expedition team all returned, Takushi Ryuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he tensed up again and spoke dryly with a hint of embarrassment.
"Hey... Hey, you guys are back..."
The overseas expedition team, who were originally a little nervous, felt a little relieved when they saw the familiar figure of Takushi Ryuji.
But he soon realized that only Takushi Ryuji was there, and immediately realized something was wrong.
The feeling of something being wrong reached its peak when Takushi Ryuji spoke and I could clearly hear the tone and content of his words.
Looking at Takushi Ryuji at this moment, he seemed quite sad, and no longer had the high-spirited look he had when they left. The bad premonition and terrible speculation in his heart suddenly hit him hard!
"...Coach Takushi," he said dryly. Akiniba Momiji wanted to ask for details, but didn't know where to start.
When Takushi Ryuji received the call, he was still worried. He kept looking at the time and even looked back frequently, looking anxious and panicked.
Seeing him like this, everyone felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
Looking at it this way, the U17 team is indeed in a very bad situation...
Maori Jusaburo couldn't hold back any longer: "Coach Takushi, what happened at the base after we left?"
He looked around, especially at the empty gate that was full of empty city plans, and spoke with a feeling that was difficult to describe.
"And...where's the gate to the base? I remember it was in good condition before we left...right?"
It wasn't just Mori Jusaburo; everyone else wanted to ask more or less questions, and they were paying close attention.
The focus of the sight, Takushi Ryuji,
When he thought of the culprit who caused all this, Jibaimao - his expression suddenly became even more bitter.
But now the U17 team is surrounded by the eyes and ears of this new coach and his enthusiastic supporters. As the only remaining coach of the original U17 training camp and the last spark of fire, Takushi Ryuji must protect himself.
Facing these members who have finally returned from overseas battles,
He hesitated to speak, and finally sighed slowly and deeply, with profound meaning.
"While you were away, the base... underwent a major change."
This statement undoubtedly confirmed everyone's suspicions.
As expected! The base is in trouble!!
Byodoin Phoenix remained calm and composed as always, and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"
Takushi Ryuji: "Alas..."
He found a way to be cheerful in the midst of hardship: "Go in first, go in... and you will know."
Takushi Ryuji did not give a direct answer, but gave an ambiguous reply.
This unclear attitude made everyone even more nervous.
After saying this, Takushi Ryuji turned around and led the way, walking hurriedly, constantly looking at the time, as if he was afraid of missing something.
“…”
"Coach Takushi's reaction is strange."
"...It seems the base took a major hit while we were away."
"I don't know if the guys who stayed behind... Oni, Irie, and the others are still alive."
“—Damn it, damn it!”
The members of the overseas expedition team followed Takushi Ryuji deeper into the U17 training camp base, and they felt more and more frightened!
The stadium was in great condition when I left - it was a ruin!
The dormitory that was in good condition when I left was now a ruin!
When I left, the restaurant was in ruins!
No, this must be some kind of indiscriminate bombing, aimed at destroying all traces of the bodies?!
The traces of explosions along the way are extremely terrifying. There are not only old ones, but also new ones. Judging from the degree of smoke and dust flying... there are even today's traces!
Realizing this, the members of the overseas expedition team slowly looked at each other, their hearts sinking even more.
It seems that now... the U17 remaining group is definitely in danger.
The leading Byodoin Phoenix remained unmoved and silent. The others were unable to understand his thoughts and expressions and could only remain silent.
Takushi Ryuji led the overseas returnees through one ruin after another. Not a single person could be seen along the way, not even a single hair.
There is no trace of life or movement, and there is no need to doubt it anymore.
The people in the overseas return group clenched their fists, bit their lips, and their faces became darker and more depressed.
The anger towards the attackers who blew up the U17 training camp and murdered the entire group of people who stayed behind continued to build, and it was just about to explode, just one point away from escalating the conflict.
Takushi Ryuji led the returning overseas team to finally arrive at the only strong entrance to the central stadium. He took a deep breath and looked back at the returning overseas team behind him.
Sensing his gaze, everyone in the overseas return group also looked over at the same time.
Takushi Ryuji stretched out his hand and pushed forward deeply and hard——!
I had already made countless mental preparations in that glance, and even imagined the worst case scenario.
For example, behind the door there will be a uniform white veil——
"Bang!"
“Empty, empty, empty—!”
“BOOM—BOOM BOOOOOO!!”
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!!”
The explosions rose and fell, the dust settled, and from the moment they heard the sound, the U17 returning overseas team, who had sensed something was amiss, slowly covered their mouths and noses and stared intently—
On several courts, large and small—amazingly, braving the flames and explosions, leaping left and right, accelerating at lightning speed, several nimble figures rushed out with a swish!
The corners of their eyes twitched as they looked over, and some even noticed the light at the door and turned around to meet the returning overseas group.
U17 Overseas Expedition Team: “!!”
U17 training group: "!!"
"H-They're actually back!!"
"W-How are you still alive?!"
In an instant, both sides cried out in surprise and then fell silent. The loud and sharp, almost tearing, sound of surprise lingered in the air for three days.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became subtle and confused.
The overseas expedition team looked at each other in bewilderment. "Shouldn't we come back...?"
The remaining training group was also in a daze: "Eh...are we dead again?"
Maori Jusaburo keenly caught the word "again". Not only him, but also Akuto was chewing on it.
The meaning of 'again'... sounds like I've actually died once.
But how is this possible?
When a person dies, he dies.
The few members of the U17 group who stayed behind noticed the overseas group members who had returned to the door and shouted, quickly attracting the attention of the other members of the group who stayed behind.
But it's just attention grabbing.
Everyone was still running back and forth, trying to kill each other, but they also took the time to take a few quick glances.
There was none of the fearful attitude as if facing a great enemy that the overseas expedition team had imagined.
...What's going on?
The overseas team members were not sure what was going on.
After all, no matter how you look at it, these guys... seem to be surprisingly healthy.
Although they were all covered in smoke and fire, and although at first glance it was impossible to tell who was who except for their body shapes and facial features,
Although their faces were all messed up, their teeth were the only white ones...
But looking at the movements of dodging and returning the ball, it is indeed very agile and healthy... There is no sign of anything wrong at all.
Huge questions filled their minds and hearts. Others were getting impatient and were about to ask,
But the leading Byodoin Phoenix swept his gaze over the faces of the entire central court one by one.
Several familiar faces, several unfamiliar faces, fixed their gazes on three faces spread across three different courts.
Onijūjiro, Irie Kanata, and Tokugawa Kazuya,
He narrowed his eyes and looked directly at the two U17 training camp coaches, Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio, who were still serving as waiters at the Keijuice distribution station.
It was strange that, instead of coming to deal with the situation as soon as he heard the news of the expedition team's return, as he had imagined, they stayed here to distribute these...
The Phoenix of Byodoin looked at the things in their hands. The paper cups were emitting a strange and eerie smell. For some reason, her brain faintly warned, "Danger!" "Danger!" "Acute danger!"
He temporarily suppressed his perception of this aspect and shifted his focus to the more important point at the moment.
"Coach Saito, Coach Kurobe," Byodoin Phoenix said in a deep voice, "U17...what exactly happened?"
Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio exchanged a glance, and then looked at the majestic and powerful yellow-haired figure.
"A lot happened," Saito smiled. "If I were to describe them all, it would probably take a whole day and night to finish."
He put down the juice in his hand and checked the time on his wristwatch. "But now...it's almost time."
...You mean the time is about the same?
My intuition jumped vaguely, foreseeing something subtle and about to happen in advance -
The next second,
“BOOM BOO ...
“BOOM ...
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!"
It was like an earthquake, the earth's crust was constantly undulating. Just standing on the ground, I could feel my center of gravity shaking, and I couldn't find a fixed point at all.
The U17 overseas returnees were experiencing this kind of situation for the first time and were quite confused.
But in contrast, the remaining team members on the center court were already extremely agile and nimble. They clasped their heads with their hands, crawled forward, or rolled forward.
It was like it turned into a reptile on the spot, using its hands and feet to skillfully sneak into a safe corner!
Those who had corners went into them, those who had no corners looked for triangles on the spot, even Saito Shi and Kurobe Yukio hid quickly, held the railing with both hands, and one of them jumped down holding the computer with data backup, swinging into the safe zone like monkeys.
All of a sudden, the crowd that was crowded and bustling in front of me just a second ago dispersed in an instant!
The overseas expedition team, who were still undulating with the ground, were stunned.
"...How come these guys are so skilled in this area?"
"No, they were just engrossed in playing tennis, why are they all suddenly playing Escape Plan now?"
Amidst the doubts and shouts, an inexplicable oppressive aura approached.
The moment it sensed it, the Byodoin Phoenix suddenly turned around, staring at a certain direction behind it.
Looking from a distance - pointing directly to the back mountain area of the U17 training camp,
A few seconds after he first sensed it, others also gradually sensed and noticed it.
Amidst the rumbling earthquake, he managed to calm everyone down and turn back.
"Boom!!!" Suddenly, the earth's crust in the distance began to crack!
A red-hot flame shot straight into the sky! Dazzling, scorching, dazzling, flying ashes and rubble collapsed, black ash overflowed, and spewed endlessly into the sky.
Looking again, I saw scarlet lava flowing from the mountain pass.
The natural disaster came suddenly, corroding all life, leaving no power to resist.
Fear, panic, unknown, confusion,
Even the most valiant and brave man, faced with the sudden natural disaster, would be trembling with fear and unable to move.
The overseas expedition team members were so eager to grow eight legs and run wildly on the spot—
What the hell is their luck? Why didn’t they explode earlier or later, but had to choose to explode now when they returned to U17!
In this situation, it's completely unclear whether it's U17 or them who are going to be eliminated! ?
Several members of the overseas expedition team turned around and were about to run. A quick glance out of the corner of my eye caused my brain to twist and turn, and a question mark slowly formed in my mind.
The one hundred members of the group who had just been hiding on the spot, without hiding or avoiding, without panic, lined up in a long queue, and each of them received a paper cup and turned around and left happily...
No, why would you drink at this hour?!
——My life is almost gone, big brother!!!
I have so much to say, I have been feeling uneasy since I got off the bus.
At this moment, his face was filled with an expression that was hard to describe. After all, everything in front of him was really beyond the understanding of normal people.
The people who stayed behind, especially the high school students like Onijūjirō and Irie Kanata, caught a glimpse of the expressions of the overseas expedition group and knew what they were thinking.
But at this moment, they had no desire to explain or justify anything. Their attention was completely focused on the back of the volcano, and the dark shadow that rushed into the sky along with the black volcanic rock.
A few days ago, it was all too familiar. After all, their new head coach always liked to use his mount to randomly select lucky areas for bomb ball attacks.
After so many times and over a long period of time, everyone has become accustomed to maintaining triple vigilance at all times, and has mastered the perfect technique of being able to escape cleanly and neatly no matter how bad the environment is, even if they are in the middle of taking a shower or going to the toilet!
I haven't been bombarded with anything during this period, just playing basketball every day. For a moment, I even miss it a little bit...
That's not the point—the point is, that adult has finally and completely announced his return!!
One after another, the high school students in the U17 group stopped and looked up at a fixed direction in the sky.
Although the junior high school students did not understand why, they had lived and died together, experienced hardships and difficulties together during this period. They gradually respected, got used to, accepted, and even joined in.
——Join the Cult of the Head Coach! Trust in the miracles of the Head Coach!
Under the bewildered, puzzled, doubtful, and skeptical gazes of the returning overseas group, the high school students and some of the middle school students in the U17 group who stayed behind unexpectedly raised their paper cups in unison and excitedly faced the approaching black shadow in the distant sky.
"The ten-year period has come to an end. Welcome back, Head Coach!!"
“——Guimen!!!”
“——Guimen!!!”
All of a sudden, the "Shua, Shua, Shua" sounds came one after another, with different timbres and tones of the "Guimen" just like the waves of the sea, gathering together and overwhelming the incomparable wash!
All of a sudden, the brains and rationality of the U17 overseas expedition team, who were facing wave after wave of attacks, were shattered.
After a long pause, Kaji Fuuto, who had barely regained consciousness, murmured,
"Hey... Is this some kind of evil cult going on here now...?"
"I don't know, I don't know... It's really a bit scary..."
Scenes I had never seen before happened one after another in just half an hour after arriving at U17.
The overseas group even started to doubt whether they were dreaming.
No, even if it's a dream, it can't be this ridiculous? ! !
It’s far more ridiculous than that, it’s coming!
The ground beneath my feet was shaking, and in my ears, I suddenly heard the "click-click" sound of a spinning propeller!
Sensing the immense wind pressure, several members of the overseas expedition team looked up—
A huge helicopter... no, this is practically an aircraft carrier, right?!
The once magnificent Hyotei KING, who was also witnessing this scene, crawled slowly forward on the ground, and his eyes twitched.
"...When did that kid steal my spaceship?"
It's an unsolved mystery, but now—what's even more eye-catching is the super-giant spacecraft that casts a huge black shadow and brings unparalleled wind pressure—
And above it, one after another, there are black shadows running up, jumping, and taking off crazily - in free fall!
Enjoy the freedom of throwing objects from high places, sweep away everything, and be yourself!
The overseas expedition team hadn't been able to utter a complete and normal sentence for a long time. The scene before them... whether it was on this side or on that side, had caused their brains to feel numb due to the overwhelming shock.
Now, even the 'weirdo' who was originally able to toss and catch the orange and was very relaxed, after slowly squeezing the orange, he was silent for a while, turned his head and looked at the Byodoin Phoenix who had retrieved him.
He calmly considered for a moment before speaking, "This part... seems like you didn't tell me in advance."
Byodoin Phoenix: "..."
He looked like he had everything under control, but in reality, the person in the shell had been gone for a while.
Is this really the U17 training base they left?
Is this really not some U17 acrobatics...mental rehabilitation center or something like that?
Even if you fight hard in the world arena for a whole year, it is nothing like the ups and downs, the roller coaster ride you experienced today. It's completely out of tune!
The ground was dead silent, but the air was filled with activity, enthusiasm, and excitement.
For a full half month, they had never seen the sun, only digging underground, digging deeper and deeper. By the end, the U17 elimination group had eaten and slept with non-human creatures every day, and even began to doubt whether they were human or non-human.
As a result, the fresh air of freedom that was released immediately after the explosion—
Sunshine, rain, oxygen, flowers and plants, and even people!!
A living person!!!
Not a skeleton, not a slime, not a ghost——
Everyone was overjoyed and jumped down from the aircraft carrier one after another.
He pulled the parachute and landed under the wind pressure with great speed. His control was completely precise. He had complete control over the functions of every part of his body. He burst out with extremely powerful force and braked directly after landing.
It landed directly in front of the U17 overseas returnees who were staring blankly at them. Momoshiro Takeshi, Kamio Akira, Kirihara Akaya, Zaizen Ryo and others, who were leading the charge, rushed forward with overwhelming enthusiasm, grabbing their hands tightly and shaking them up and down.
"It's really a living person! With warmth, and a living person I don't know. This is wonderful! This is really wonderful!!"
"Wow, are we finally back to the real world? There are actually real people here, wow, wow..."
“Hello, living person! Haha ...
“…”
“…”
"...These guys, are they crazy from somewhere?"
Soon, parachutes fell one after another, and more people appeared on the ground. All of a sudden, countless pits appeared, and people grew out of each pit!
The U17 winning team, struggling to survive, took a closer look.
Wow!!
Aren’t these the eliminated members who haven’t been together for a month?!
Judging from the appearance——he actually came back intact!!
At the same time, after the sudden excitement of seeing the real people subsided, the people in the elimination group who returned from hell also noticed the familiar faces on the other side - the winning group!
The two parties looked at each other, and immediately scanned each other's situation sharply and critically.
The winning group looked at the eliminated group. Their clothes were tattered and they looked... a bit messed up.
They were all in a neat row, with a strange excitement on everyone's face, their eyes even sparkling, as if everything they saw was new and interesting.
It feels like if you pass by them, you will be grabbed, touched or bitten.
If you don’t know, you might think that these guys were sent to some deep mountain forest, isolated from the world, to become savages.
The eliminated group looked at the winning group. Although they barely wore uniforms, every school had them. The hanging pieces of cloth were hanging pieces, and only the frames or legs of the glasses were left.
Each one of them was extremely black, as if they had been blown silly. Except for their teeth, everything else on their bodies was black.
It was neatly arranged, and you could vaguely see that the dark circles under the eyes were extremely serious. You could almost shout out, "Holy crap, there are a lot of pandas here!"
In short, in a nutshell——
Looking at each other, I know you are not doing well.
Everyone - can rest assured!
