Chapter 253
An abrupt energy point that is different from any other energy reaction device in the camp.
It has been jointly verified by perception skill players from multiple school teams, who explored back and forth and confirmed the specific location of energy perception.
There is no dispute as to who will be the pioneer in exploring this new energy point.
"I promised the captain, Lulu, and Zoe," Jiang Yunu said to Shen Yijing, "If we detect any dangerous situation and don't retreat immediately, contact the rear immediately, and take further action after the team regroups, I will face terrible punishment."
Shen Yijing paused and asked, "What punishment?"
Jiang Yunu: "Please treat all the league players who stayed behind to a meal."
Shen Yijing: “…”
Captain Shen was obviously not aware of this matter. He was probably not called during the group discussion. When he heard Jiang Yunu mention the punishment, he looked obviously concerned and was very worried about the specific content of the "punishment" for the white-haired girl.
After hearing the result, he felt that this punishment was much lighter than he had expected.
The white-haired girl had a heavy expression on her face.
"Don't look relieved, like you're saying 'that's it,'" Jiang Yunu said sadly. "Do you know how severe this punishment is for me? This is truly hitting the snake in its most vulnerable part! Although you usually call us Golden Uriel 'Golden Paupers,' honestly, none of my seniors, juniors, or close classmates are poor—only I am, on the outside, a true pauper."
Shen Yijing: “…”
Just like the word "chores", which rarely appeared in the lives of the elite players of Duma Academy in the past, the word "pauper" has rarely appeared in Shen Yijing's life so far.
——It doesn’t count if the Golden Uriel Academy mockingly calls us “Golden Poor Guy”.
As soon as Jiang Yunu saw Shen Yijing's new expression, she knew that this young master must have never seen a real poor ghost. She sighed: "In short, this punishment is still very serious for me."
Shen Yijing and she walked side by side for another thirty meters in the direction of the coordinates. They were both very fast.
"It's okay." Captain Shen seemed to have prepared himself for thirty meters before he said as nonchalantly as possible, "I can pay for you... or share some of the burden for you."
He added the second half of the sentence urgently because he felt that the first half was a bit inappropriate, as if he had completely acknowledged that Jiang Yunu was poor and destitute.
Jiang Yunu blinked.
Her focus, however, lay elsewhere.
"Captain Shen," Jiang Yunu said, "you seem to be saying that no matter what crisis we encounter, we won't report it immediately. We will definitely go and scout first. We will neither stay where we are nor retreat and wait for backup."
After Jiang Yunu said this, he laughed.
Shen Yijing only responded briefly: “Yeah.”
——That basically means tacit acceptance of this.
Perhaps waiting for backup would make the action safer, but from another perspective, Jiang Yunu is a person very similar to Shen Yijing.
They are more accustomed to exploring the way on their own and testing the risk level first.
If they are lucky, the risk level will be within their capabilities, allowing them to resolve the issue right there and then, eliminating the crisis for everyone.
He likes to take on too much responsibility and is very conceited, with a kind of arrogance that thinks, "I know I am better than others, so I should be the one to solve all the problems."
What’s even more interesting is that there are currently two people who are so arrogant and self-confident.
Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing followed the marked energy reaction points. They crossed the garden path connecting the training hall and the cafeteria, then crossed the garden and arrived at the logistics storage area within the camp complex.
The logistics storage area not only has rows of pointed-roof warehouses, but also has empty platforms specifically for unloading.
On the way here, Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing were attacked by mutants twice.
The first wave of mutants wore torn staff uniforms, their pupils had turned completely red, and dark brown energy patterns extended from their facial features. They looked very inhuman, but they were quickly dealt with.
The second wave of mutants slowed down the attack speed of both of them.
Because the people opposite were wearing Hunter and Michelle's uniforms.
Jiang Yunu hadn't seen anyone from Michelle in ages. The last time she heard anyone from the school mentioned was when Vanessa told her, "Michelle's school team is finished." The man across from her, wearing a Michelle uniform, had a face Jiang Yunu knew well. The owner of that face had been sarcastic to her more than once, and their first meeting at the league camp hadn't been anything like a friendly exchange.
——It’s the vice-captain of Michelle College.
Jiang Yunu didn't have a good impression of this person, but that didn't mean she was willing to see him become what he is now.
He has lost all his rationality and his face is hideous.
He still held a tiny syringe in his left hand. He had forgotten all the glory of the academy, the competitive spirit and harmless comparisons among young students, and was only repeating some stereotyped instructions, trying to create more of the same "monsters".
Green supernatural light gathered on Jiang Yunu's hand. She wrapped the other's wrist with energy vines, and the sharp-pointed "leaves" pierced the palm holding the syringe.
The alienated deputy captain Michelle wailed. Amid the howling, Shen Yijing took off the shoulders of the alienated player from Liexing and heard Jiang Yunu seem to sigh.
The Star Hunter students weren't completely wiped out. Over the past ten hours, several Star Hunters had successfully arrived at the training hall. They all looked a bit disheveled, three of them mildly altered, while one was in decent condition and could be accommodated with the normal students.
"The Star Hunters said that they dispersed shortly after entering the medical center." Shen Yijing put away his long sword, and he and Jiang Yunu successively bypassed the two student mutants who had lost their ability to move.
Jiang Yunu stepped over the fallen syringe. Tiny green vines rose from the ground beneath her feet, crushing the syringe into dust. She said, "Well, when we get back, you can tell the people still at the base that they don't need to wait for news from their captain."
The one whose shoulders had just been taken off by Shen Yijing was Captain Star Hunter.
Some familiar faces have changed beyond recognition, and some people who are still waiting are destined to never return.
As the two of them walked into the storage center of the townhouse, Shen Yijing tilted his head slightly to observe Jiang Yunu's smooth profile. In the days since entering the league camp, the white-haired girl seemed to have quietly grown a little taller, but she remained lean, with an increasingly slender and sharp appearance.
She looked determined, and she looked angry.
He's not the type of person who yells and screams, or gets angry like a volcano erupting.
Instead, he made up his mind and vowed to end something, with a silent but determined anger.
Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing went deep into the storage center. Here, the energy signal that could be tracked became weak, but that didn't mean they had lost the energy signal.
This means they are almost here.
"There is no road ahead." Shen Yijing reported what he saw.
At the end of the road ahead was an empty wall, with construction materials piled up a little further around it.
Jiang Yunu walked half a circle around the open space in front of the wall and said, "No, there is a road here."
She stepped lightly on the ground, feeling the difference between the ground near the wall and the ground farther away.
When I stepped on the wall, I felt a hollow feeling at the bottom.
"There's still room down there," she said.
Shen Yijing also came over to try it and agreed with Jiang Yunu's judgment.
"There is no such underground area on the architectural drawings of the camp." Shen Yijing said this with certainty, because the panoramic drawings of the camp were also "dug out" when the student from the Duma school team who was proficient in information technology dug out the point of the superpower suppression device, and were stored in Captain Shen's personal terminal.
They checked the panoramic view on the terminal, and Jiang Yunu stepped on the ground with his toes again.
"Finding an area that is not within the plan means we have found the right one," she said.
“But how are we going to get down?” Shen Yijing’s question was very matter-of-fact.
He had circled the place twice and couldn't find the entrance to go down.
Jiang Yunu didn't say anything, she just walked along the place where she felt the cavity.
Then she pulled Shen Yijing: “Come with me.”
