Chapter 251
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The white-haired girl's voice was filled with ridicule that anyone who was not deaf could hear.
She smiled and said, "Your new look is very unique."
It’s more than just “unique”.
Every time Shen Yijing appeared in public before, not to mention how exquisitely dressed she was, at least her uniform was neat and tidy, and her appearance was neat and tidy, which made her worthy of the title of "face" of the Duma school team.
But Captain Shen's uniform jacket was gone, leaving only his tight-fitting tactical uniform. The tight, contoured clothing was ripped and ripped, revealing a war-damaged look. Shen Yijing still carried his long sword on his back, the equipment belt wrapped directly across his shoulders and waist, the leather wedging against his muscles, leaving marks on his skin.
Jiang Yunu has always been generous in appreciating things that conform to her aesthetic standards, and she also acts as a female hooligan openly.
Shen Yijing was already familiar with her "careless" style, but she still stopped in her tracks when she whistled.
"...Do I look terrible?" Captain Shen asked cautiously.
The "bad" he mentioned must not mean the usual bad.
"Not bad," Jiang Yunu said. "You look very unique, and you are still in good spirits. This means that the wounds on your body have not had a serious impact on you and have not affected your thinking and actions."
She paused and added, "But..."
Shen Yijing continued to ask cautiously: "But?"
Jiang Yunu: "But with your appearance, I don't recommend you go directly into the public hall. It will damage the good image of your Duma Academy among other school teams."
Shen Yijing: “…”
Captain Shen, who was described as "having the potential to damage the school's good image," did not enter the hall through the main gate, but instead went through a landscape window on the side of the training hall and climbed into the room.
This window is biologically locked, and the key is in the hands of Jiang Yunu and Di Yao's captain Lulumarin. They are the only two people in the entire training hall who can open it.
"All other large windows have been sealed for safety reasons." Jiang Yunu led Shen Yijing up the side stairs directly to the second floor of the venue, saying as they walked, "Only the windows with a length and width of less than 30 centimeters are partially open, so that everyone's living space does not look completely closed."
Shen Yijing listened silently.
Out of habit, he had been observing his surroundings since he approached the training hall, and carefully checked its security level before and after entering the hall. He looked around and checked every possible "safety node" with his eyes.
The more Jiang Yunu talked to him, and the further they went up the stairs, the slower the stone hanging over his heart descended until it landed steadily in his heart.
It is indeed safe here, just as Vanessa had reported in the team channel.
Jiang Yunu took Shen Yijing to the second floor, where a medium-sized practice room had been converted into a joint brigade meeting room.
"I've already notified Lulumarin, Captain Suo, and Zoe. They'll be here to meet you soon."
There is a drinking fountain, a bathroom, and a set of wall-mounted storage cabinets in the conference room.
Jiang Yunu got a glass of water for Shen Yijing, put it on the table, and asked him to sit down and rest for a while while she walked out the door.
"I'll go see if there are any clothes left in the public storage at the training hall. If there are, I'll find you a set."
The training hall used to store a lot of spare clothes for the players. They were simple sportswear with the camp logo. In terms of style, they were certainly not as exquisite as the uniforms of each school team, and they were not as fine and expensive as the school uniforms of the first-largest school in the district, such as Diyao Duma.
But the advantage is that it is light and durable, easy to wash and dry quickly. At a time when supplies are suddenly becoming tight, it is an ideal change of clothes for students.
Shen Yijing soon waited for Jiang Yunu to return. The white-haired girl was holding a clean set of sportswear and handed it to him, telling him to go directly to the bathroom to clean up his appearance that "damaged the good image of the school." It was only after he had simply cleaned himself up and changed into more decent clothes that a question finally entered Captain Shen's mind:
…Were the clothes she found for him too form-fitting?
The clothes Jiang Yunu got him fit him so perfectly, as if they were tailor-made, with the trouser length and sleeve length being exactly right.
Shen Yijing drank the water that Jiang Yunu poured casually with an expressionless face, and sat in the conference room alone, thinking about random things for a while.
By the time Lulumarin, Sorok, and Zoe arrived at the conference room, Captain Shen's brain had been switched back to "work" mode.
By this time, the camp had been fallen for nearly 30 hours.
The outside world was completely cut off from the inside of the camp. After receiving the notification of the new safe base, Shen Yijing still stayed outside for a while in order to explore the possibility of contacting the outside world.
However, the results are obviously not optimistic.
"Currently, those who still have independent consciousness in the camp have probably been concentrated in this base." Shen Yijing spoke calmly about the terrifying current situation. "I went to the outermost area of the camp and found that the border was blocked. All aircraft on the hovering platform could not take off."
The camp for this league is a small floating city, and all competition stages and living areas are built on suspended platforms.
Once the flying vehicle is unusable, the students are literally trapped.
"I've looked at the intelligence network shared by your school team," Jiang Yunu said. "Of the 22 supernatural power restriction devices in the camp, 12 have been destroyed so far."
"14." Shen Yijing corrected Jiang Yunu's statement, "When I rushed over, I happened to encounter two more places. The dynamic monitoring network should not have been updated synchronously yet."
Captain Shen made light of the fact that he had destroyed two additional devices by himself, as if he had bought two extra packs of instant noodles on the way back.
It was hard for the other three captains not to look at him with respect. Even Lulumarin praised him, "Captain Shen's individual combat ability is indeed outstanding."
Shen Yijing only glanced at Jiang Yunu in a low-key manner.
Then I realized she didn't seem to have anything extra to say about it.
"So there are still 8 places left." Jiang Yunu said very pragmatically.
Shen Yijing: “…That’s right.”
The eight remaining power-restriction devices are all located deeper within the camp, away from the students' daily living areas.
Jiang Yunu waited for everyone to exchange all the information again, and got the latest external intelligence from Shen Yijing. Then she began to mentally count the remaining supplies in the base and calculate the daily consumption of all the people currently gathered in the training hall.
——This is a not optimistic number.
When the meeting paused, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze to the white-haired girl again. Jiang Yunu raised his head and said, "First, we need to send out an exploration team. We will explore the area around the training hall from near to far and recover the daily supplies that can be used by everyone in the camp."
It is still unknown how long they will be trapped here, and it is not certain when they will receive outside help. Before that, ensuring survival is the top priority.
"Secondly," Jiang Yunu said, "waiting for others to discover what's happening here and come to our rescue isn't a solution. We'd better take action ourselves."
Zoe immediately agreed: "I agree with that."
Lulumarin nodded beside her.
"But," the down-to-earth Sorok asked, "What can we do now?"
"It's still exploration." Jiang Yunu said, "The exploration team will be divided into two teams, one to explore supplies, and the other to explore devices - not just the supernatural power suppression device."
The fact that such a large camp could be cut off from the outside world and interfere with the takeoff of aircraft indicates that strict shielding devices must have been set up around the camp long ago.
"It could be a mechanical device, or an elemental rune imbued with powerful elemental energy, or something else entirely," Jiang Yunu said. "Shielding energy doesn't just appear out of thin air. There must be something supporting the operation of this 'shielder.' Finding it and breaking it is the key to reestablishing communication with the outside world."
"But now is not the time to look for it." Shen Yijing's eyes fell on Jiang Yunu's face, and then he suddenly asked without any context, "How many hours have you not slept?"
Jiang Yunu: "...Hmm?"
Shen Yijing's question seemed to have touched the nerves of others, bringing something that had been vaguely forgotten by everyone back to the forefront.
The camp had fallen for nearly 30 hours, and the last time Jiang Yunu slept seemed to be... the day before yesterday.
“You didn’t sleep the night we were on guard in pairs,” Zoe said.
"You were also awake when Solok and I got up to take over," Lulumarin said.
Solok stood up as if facing a formidable enemy, and placed his hands on the back of Jiang Yunu's chair. "Then, today, the players from other schools have been arriving at the stadium to join us, and Captain Shen will be back this afternoon... Little Jiang, you haven't been lying on the training mat at all during this time, have you?"
Jiang Yunu tried to argue, "But I'm still in good spirits. I think I can go out right now. First, I'll carry over a few roadside vending machines near the training hall. I still remember where they are."
Shen Yijing denied her argument and said, "You need to rest. I'll go check on the vending machine."
However, Lulumarin rejected them both.
"Both of you go and rest." Captain Di Yao said dignifiedly, "I'll take Di Yao's team with me. They've all rested."
After a day and night of rest, the Diyao school team has indeed rested well.
During the day today, the joint advance team has contacted other contestants who have joined them one after another, and they also learned about the difficulties that other student contestants have faced while they were resting, while they were still fighting alone.
Many people in Diyao are already eager to go out and do something.
This is a good opportunity for the Diyao school team to go out for some exercise and help with the stronghold.
Jiang Yunu was sent to rest, and Shen Yijing was also sent away.
Jiang Yunu was puzzled as to how Shen Yijing could tell that he had not rested for a long time - they had not been together all the time before.
"If you want to ask me the reason," Captain Shen replied, "my reason might be similar to the reason you happened to be able to get me clothes that fit perfectly."
Jiang Yunu was puzzled: "Can't I tell the exact size of your figure by just looking at it a few more times?"
“…” Shen Yijing had read it but did not reply.
In short, the two people with the highest individual combat power in this stronghold both went to rest for several hours.
