Chapter 248
Zoe hated his night vision more than ever. When Jiang Yunuo was ten meters away from the training hall gate, he could no longer catch a clear outline of the human figure with his naked eyes. As for what was happening at the front of the road further down, he was even more at a loss.
He could only judge from the still calm environment and the still dark night that Jiang Yunu might not have noticed the risk.
The warning light of the supernatural power did not light up for a long time.
Zoe had never considered the fact that "Jiang Yunu had given away his combat power in vain once he left and was unable to release the supernatural light warning."
This is impossible, zero probability events are not taken into consideration.
——But what was happening in the darkness ahead might have been beyond Captain Romfeld’s comprehension from another perspective.
Two students.
The two students, both of whom showed signs of alienation but seemed to be not so unconscious, stood in front of Jiang Yunu.
Vanessa has been nervous since she called out these two companions. Her usual weapon is a supernatural longbow. She holds an arrow in her hand and moves back and forth vigilantly between her companions and Jiang Yunu, clearly revealing a conflicted and embarrassed mentality - if a conflict breaks out instantly, she doesn't even know who to point her arrow at first.
Should he stop Jiang Yunu, who might attack his mutant companions? Or should he prioritize protecting the "normal people" here and stop her companions with mutant characteristics?
Vanessa rarely faced such a difficult problem in her life, which made her feel caught between a rock and a hard place.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunu did not cause any embarrassing situation.
The white-haired girl stared at the two students who had developed altered features. Her gaze lingered on their faces, looking into their eyes to confirm that they still had the energy to think rationally. Then she lowered her gaze to their battle-damaged clothes, which were also torn and stained.
Jiang Yunu said to Vanessa, "These two teammates you brought seem to be from different schools?"
Jiang Yunu's first focus fell on a place Vanessa didn't expect.
The red-haired supernatural archer was visibly startled.
Then, following Jiang Yunu's gaze, Vanessa also looked at her two teammates and said, "Yes."
Two students showed alienated features. One was wearing the same black combat uniform as Vanessa. This was a student from Duma's own school team.
But the other one was wearing a dark purple uniform, the color of the Kant Academy uniform.
Jiang Yunu didn't have much contact with people from Kant College. She could only say that she was familiar with the people from Kant, but if she was to say whether she had any personal relationship with anyone from Kant College, that was not the case.
The Kant Academy player had scales on his face. The dim environment would reduce color perception, but Jiang Yunu could still tell the scales were silver-purple. Furthermore, around the Kant player's pupils was a silver-purple ring, the same color as the scales.
Noticing that the two alienated students had no intention of communicating actively, Jiang Yunu looked at Vanessa again.
Without waiting for questions, Vanessa took the initiative to say, "It's a long story... It might not be safe to talk about it outside."
Jiang Yunu nodded.
She seemed to think for only two brief seconds, then she said, "Come with me."
Jiang Yunu did not lead these people to the main gate of the training hall - walking through the main gate into the hall, allowing two students with alienated characteristics to directly come into contact with the joint team with all normal members, which is certainly unwise and extremely irresponsible to both the "mildly alienated" and the normal students.
Jiang Yunu found a suitable location so that Vanessa and the other two could enter the joint team's operational shelter without directly contacting other people in the hall.
She took the three of them to the equipment storage room adjacent to the training hall.
Jiang Yunu didn't need to explain, Vanessa was also a very reasonable person as a temporary ally.
"You can't just take us to see the others, I understand," Vanessa said.
When Jiang Yunu passed by the gate, she gestured to Zoe, who could finally see her figure clearly, using body language to indicate that her side was safe, and then signaled to her that she was going to take people to the equipment warehouse.
By taking advantage of the positioning card's field of vision and the difference in light and shadow, two students with mildly alienated features were hidden in the shadows. Zoe could only clearly see Jiang Yunu and the red-haired Vanessa, and then the general uniforms of the other two.
Not only did Zoe not think much about it, she was also relieved to have noticed the presence of someone from Kant College.
He responded to Jiang Yunu's gesture, saying, "I'm glad you're alright. Go ahead."
Why didn't Jiang Yunu lead people through the main door into the hall first, but went to the equipment warehouse instead? Of course, she had her reasons for doing so.
Maybe we should go to the equipment warehouse first and move out some new training mats and movable partitions to set up a living area for the new teammates who will be joining us?
Jiang Yunu was the last one to enter the equipment warehouse. She closed the door, blocking out possible prying eyes from the outside world.
Then she said, "Now we can talk, it's very safe here."
Vanessa's suspicions returned, and she tentatively said to Jiang Yunu, "You closed the door and hinted to Captain Romfeld that it was safe here. Aren't you afraid...what if there's something wrong with us and we're going to attack you here?"
"Oh." Jiang Yunu said casually, "I'm really not afraid of this. Anyway, you three together should not be able to beat me."
“…” Vanessa was convinced.
After taking it, the red-haired archer said, "I am now completely certain that there is absolutely no problem with you. You are still the same person."
Jiang Yunu smiled. This was a compliment.
"So, what about these two next to you?" The white-haired girl tapped her chin on the two transformed students. "What happened to them? How did they become something that only had about 80% of their original appearance left?"
The two students with mild alienation traits were surprisingly silent.
They followed Vanessa and appeared under her command until now, without uttering a single syllable.
Vanessa glanced at her two companions, then seemed to remember something and motioned for them to sit down.
The two sat down on the mat in the equipment room.
"They can't speak." Vanessa turned around and explained to Jiang Yunu, "Because their vocal system has become different from that of humans. The injection site is the throat, and the vocal cords are the first to mutate."
As if to prove Vanessa's words, the student in the Kant College uniform raised his head and made a strange "hissing" sound, like a reptile spitting apricots.
Another student from Duma Academy continued to look at Jiang Yunu in silence.
Vanessa explained, "His transformation might have led him to become a mutated Perissodactyl. Forcing himself to make sounds would result in a whistle, so he forbids himself from making any sound."
Jiang Yunu thought about what kind of creatures the Perissodactyla generally belonged to and showed an expression of understanding.
For a very respectable Duma student, it would be fatal if he uttered a donkey tune or a horse bray.
Jiang Yunu got to the point: "Who did it?"
Vanessa took a deep breath, as if she was using the time to sort out her thoughts and think about where to start.
Then she told Jiang Yunu first——
"Everyone at Mitchell College is finished."
Jiang Yunu's eyes darkened.
"Or you could say they are the first team confirmed to be wiped out," Vanessa added rigorously.
Before everything started, before the camp fell, the captain of Michel Academy was the first to receive a notice.
The notice stated: "To further enhance the fairness of the inter-school competition, to further assist contestants in exploring their potential, and to help student contestants adjust their performance, a potential testing program has been launched. Colleges that have received this notice are requested to proceed to the medical center in an orderly manner according to the notification time. Professional personnel will be stationed at the entrance to meet you."
Note: [Due to the different notification times for each school, potential testing must be conducted on a school-by-school basis. Please do not visit the medical center during unannounced times to avoid disrupting management order. Those who maliciously disrupt order will be punished by having their league points deducted.]
Jiang Yunu had never heard of such a notice.
Moreover, this notice sounds like an obvious trap.
She asked, “Who sent the notice?”
Vanessa's expression was very ugly: "Competition Committee."
