Chapter 34: Jumping off a cliff
◎Lily of the Valley◎
Oh my god!
Josephine covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting. She seemed to understand something. She looked at their instructions with sparkling eyes and patted the Covia siblings excitedly with a sense of pride, but they both gave her disgusted looks.
“Hey, uh—”
After her excitement subsided, she noticed something, but she also remembered her current status as a 'dead'. The 'dead' chatting among the 'dead' was fine; it wouldn't affect the real-time battle anyway. But the presence of the living in the 'morgue' was a different story.
She had no choice but to suppress the momentary feeling in her heart and behave like a dead person with her mouth shut.
"What did you want to say just now?" The 'deceased' Ulysses immediately stood behind his sister, his eyes fixed on her as they left side by side, and soon disappeared into the light and shadow of the transition between day and night.
"No, nothing."
Josephine wasn't sure if there were any living people in the morgue, but her thoughts just now actually had nothing to do with this military training. However, there were so many corpses here and people were talking too much, so she didn't say that she had just felt like she was in the same room with the Demon Lord in the Star Realm.
Especially when Luo Wusheng and Shi Hanqiao stood together, her intuition reached its peak, but on second thought, she felt it was unlikely.
I can't count how many groups of allies have arrived at the "morgue" to check. The sky is pale, but the night on the other side is still stubbornly making its last struggle.
"Six o'clock, plenty of time." Luo Wusheng quickly dodged behind a tree to avoid the bullets, while Shi Hanqiao swung out a soft whip and swung lightly onto a branch. With her other hand, she held a gun and shot the enemies hiding in the jungle. She always used offense as defense.
On the flat map, all the green dots are concentrated together and overlap with the two red dots, but upon closer inspection, there are six small green dots away from the green center.
Shi Hanqiao: "It went so smoothly."
"Oh! You think it went smoothly."
In the joint control center, after Bai Muxue commanded the jungle battle, the camera ball followed the location to find Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng, and their images occupied the large screen indoors and never changed.
When Shi Hanqiao forced the operating system to self-destruct, the usually steady majors also lost their composure and kept looking at Ling Mie of the Ninth Military Region. This was the nth time.
Fox Eyes remained calm until Shi Hanqiao said the words "it went too smoothly". Then her face, which was wearing a faint smile, could no longer hold back and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Ling Mie chuckled secretly on the side. Based on his many years of experience dealing with her, he knew that the calmer she appeared, the greater the emotional fluctuations in her heart, which could be seen from her commands.
"Since it's going so smoothly, let's add some more obstacles."
Fox Eye clicks on the control screen and releases all information.
"Major Bu, please think about it!"
"Major Bu, this is inappropriate!"
“They’re just freshmen!”
"There are only two of them!"
When the teachers from the four major military academies saw the content she posted, they all tried to dissuade her, but to no avail.
The watches of all the surviving newborns were flashing. There were still no information signs such as road conditions on the two-dimensional map, but the only difference was that there was a red dotted line connecting a small green dot and two small red dots.
To be precise, there should be two red dotted lines, but because the positions of the two small red dots almost overlap, the two red dotted lines also overlap, and it looks like there is only one red dotted line.
At the same time, x meters are marked next to the red dotted line, which means that all people with green positioning can determine the location of Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng through the map.
At the same time, everyone in the 'morgue' also received the following message.
[Hello to all eliminated freshmen, the rules have been temporarily adjusted. You will not be able to enter the second round of the 'Eliminated Alliance', but you will still be given a second chance to 'survive'. Please seize it. (Opportunities are rare and will never come back!)]
[Special Mission: Capture and kill the target person (red location on the map)
Target: All eliminated contestants from the second round (Hmm, you probably guessed there are some eliminated contestants from the first round, right?)
Mission time limit: Before you die again (you must cherish this life)]
A large number of 'dead' poured out of the 'morgue' like a zombie resurgence, targeting the two people whose positions had been exposed on the map.
Qian Xin asked Qian Xing, who was his brother and the commander, "Should we go too?"
Manda said as a matter of course: "Of course we have to go, isn't this our mission goal!"
Qianxing couldn't catch his breath and couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk anymore, just go if you want to."
This battle ended for Shi Hanqiao when he stole the house.
Exhaling heavily, Qian Xing quickly adjusted his depressed mood. For a commander, giving up the order of a battle is the last bottom line.
Fortunately, this is just a military training.
Military training, leagues, exercises and other events are all fine because their opponents are also their teammates, and winning or losing is a contest of strength.
Qianxing was extremely grateful that such a military training had led him into the army, allowing him to clearly see the difference between military training and border training.
On the border, real soldiers, real commanders, real wars, even if there's no hope of winning, there's no retreat. Beyond the border lies the rich planetary resources and human hosts the Zerg have coveted for years. They have no room for retreat, no concessions.
Now it's just military training. I encountered teammates who didn't obey orders, lost the advantages I once had, and there was no rhythm in the team cooperation.
Losing is normal.
Qianxing looked down at the map. All the green dots were concentrated in one range, and the six dots outside the group were particularly obvious.
He had seen through Luo Wusheng's plan, but was powerless to stop it.
They still have a chance, just like Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng are now. However, with teammates who will argue with him no matter what he says, this chance has been killed by their team.
"What are you doing!" Manda was furious after seeing his movements, "Coward!"
Qian Xing calmly closed the waiver interface, not even giving the reckless man a glance, and said to the camera, "I won't be your pawn."
He is a commander and he bears the heaviest responsibility for this failure, but he also has the pride of a commander and will never be a pawn manipulated by others.
Their team briefly dominated the large screen of the Joint Control Center because of this scene. Fox Eyes raised the corner of his mouth, "Qianxing, there are so many interesting kids this year."
They are just a bunch of kids, why bother with them?
Fox Eyes shook his head slightly, unable to help but laugh, and called up the control page to cancel the additional difficulty.
It was a rare opportunity for her to meet so many outstanding new conductors, who were very decisive and constantly raised the difficulty standards.
His fingertips flicked across the screen, and when he pressed the button to release the extreme environment, a box popped up, reading 'Release failed, you do not have permission.' The entire page glowed red, reflecting the complex expression of surprise and gloom in the fox's eyes.
“Tsk!”
Fox Eyes' tongue pressed against the soft flesh of the inner wall, and she was feeling very complicated.
After years of hunting, he was finally pecked in the eye by an eagle.
She finally understood that Shi Hanqiao's whisper of "extreme environment" was meant for her to hear, making her mistakenly believe that she had discovered additional settings and caused the operating system to enter the self-destruct program.
However, in reality, she had already tampered with the data and gained master authority. The console both obscured her vision and obliterated the evidence.
She'd deliberately said "it went so smoothly" because she knew someone was observing their actions, so she deliberately provoked the person behind the scenes. Fox Eyes licked her back teeth, feeling a pang of frustration. Shi Hanqiao's words had indeed irritated her. By calling up another system to issue commands, she hadn't noticed the transfer of the planetary system's authority, and it had also helped speed up the process.
I have to say, it’s a really good plan.
Arrogance is a flaw engraved in the Alpha gene along with powerful strength.
She hadn't experienced the feeling of frustration for a long time, and now she was tricked by Shi Qi's daughter, which was really infuriating.
Shi Hanqiao is truly worthy of being Shi Qi's daughter.
However, how could it be possible that her mental strength and physical fitness were only C-level?
'Ache'
Shi Hanqiao on the screen sneezed and she couldn't help but rubbed her nose.
Luo Wusheng wiped his forehead, and he also realized that the environment was too hot.
Considering that she fainted for no reason before, he looked at her worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Shi Hanqiao shook his head. The air was getting hotter and hotter. The scents of several flowers and plants on Duxing Peak were fragrant when smelled individually, but when mixed together, it was an explosion of smells.
She has never liked strong smells.
"Our position has been exposed."
Luo Wusheng dodged a bullet from the right and quickly assessed the situation. From the vibration of the ground and the buzzing sound hidden under the gunshot, he could conclude that they were surrounded.
Their location exposure was foreseeable when they chose the black space ornament, but now they were surrounded and blocked by everyone, which meant that they were accurately located.
That shouldn't be the case. According to his prediction, this situation will only occur on the third or fourth day after they complete the plan, when the second batch of 'eliminated' are resurrected.
Is it ahead of schedule now? Or did the commander-in-chief of the military training suddenly change the plan?
Luo Wusheng tends to the latter, but his plan is ostensibly offensive but actually more defensive. He wants to create chaos so that no one has time to care about them.
The current situation seems to be that they are surrounded, which is very unfavorable, but it is also a very good environment for attack, if his latter guess is true.
"What did you do?" He turned to Shi Hanqiao. The only possibility that caused this situation in a short period of time was that she did something to the operating table when he went to attack Luo Wuning and Luo Wuying.
"Extreme environment, your suspicion has been confirmed." Shi Hanqiao answered truthfully. Just now in the 'morgue', there were many people talking, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to speak.
"Is it that simple?" Luo Wusheng was puzzled. This level of situation was not enough to lead to the current situation. A flash of inspiration came to his mind.
He trusted Shi Hanqiao, so he didn't pay attention to the destroyed program after entering. He just took a quick glance and only now remembered the sign that was covered after he fell to the ground.
The military supplies and equipment for this military training were basically provided by the Ninth Military Region, and the operating system also came from the Ninth Military Region.
If she had quickly cracked the Ninth Military Region's system and confirmed the additional difficulty of the extreme environment, coupled with the "it went so smoothly" she just blurted out, the matter would have made sense.
"It's simple, what's wrong?"
It didn't take Shi Hanqiao long to decipher the system, so saying "it went too smoothly" was also being realistic. They had indeed not encountered much resistance when they arrived at the back cliff.
At this moment, she suddenly didn't understand why Luo Wusheng looked confused and then surprised.
Luo Wusheng was silent. At that moment, he felt an arrogance in her that was even more similar to that of the Demon Lord.
The 'madness' that comes from one's own powerful strength.
He instantly understood the reason for this situation. Shi Hanqiao's unintentional words sounded like a provocation to the Alpha commander behind him.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Shi Hanqiao couldn't quite understand his current emotions. There was a light in her phoenix eyes, brighter than the morning light rising from the horizon.
"You did a great job, exceeding my expectations of perfection."
Luo Wusheng was generous with her praise, but unexpectedly, her face turned cold and she urged him impatiently, extending her hand towards him.
Luo Wusheng paused, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily. He did not ignore her uncomfortably turning her head away, but he did not realize that the Demon Lord also felt unnatural because of his praise.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on her palm, and the two black rings gently brushed against each other with their warmth.
Snap——
The light sound was particularly obvious on the top of the mountain. The back of the hand that was slapped did not feel any pain, only a slight itch, like a breeze.
Luo Wusheng's pupils dilated slightly, Shi Hanqiao's figure magnified, and a force gripped his waist.
The encirclement troops rushed towards the back cliff, and the bullets were blocked or bounced back by the open light shields and protective covers, and none of them broke through the defense line.
"pay close attention."
Luo Wusheng put one arm around her neck and the other on her shoulder, providing double protection.
"Jump!"
As the huge crowd of pursuers approached the back cliff, they watched helplessly as the two 'targets' jumped from the cliff. As they surrounded the cliff, small stones were kicked down the cliff by footsteps, and there was no trace or sound. All that could be seen was two figures clinging to each other.
Shi Hanqiao's hand wearing a pinky ring tightly embraced Luo Wusheng's waist, and the other hand held the whip handle. The vertical soft whip was wrapped around the photographic ball that served as a parachute.
The falling process was slow and steady, without any thrilling tension, but Luo Wusheng's heart was racing. He wasn't lying delicately in her arms. They were about the same height, Shi Hanqiao being a bit taller, but not by much, so they were very close.
Given their close-fitting posture, if they were face to face, their high noses would have clashed. Both of their heads were slightly tilted, and Luo Wusheng could only see her profile. Her eyebrows were calm and slightly raised, and her gaze was fixed on the sky and the distance.
He unconsciously tightened his arms around her neck. His heart was beating so fast it was almost jumping out of his left chest.
Amidst the hot breath, a fresh and unique fragrance seemed to float from the clouds. Luo Wusheng smelled the light scent of lily of the valley, and his violently beating heart slowly calmed down.
【Author’s words】
Lily of the valley is poisonous and has no fragrance.
The scent of lily of the valley has a calming and soothing effect, which is due to both physiological and psychological factors.
I have some private settings for pheromones, but I haven't written about them yet, um~~~
She·Yuan·Ying·Zhong·Qiu: You are so noble, you use me as a parachute.
