Chapter 63 Landing
It seemed like a few minutes had passed.
Only after all the cadets had laid down in the bio-capsule and were ready did the pop-up text change.
[Preparation complete, launching into the simulation map... Target map: Extremely Cold Star.]
The scene in front of Yu Zhi changed. The whole person floated in the air and slowly descended, finally landing on a pure white ground covered with snow.
【Deployment completed, please prepare for battle. 】
She looked around and frowned.
There was nothing in sight, not a single living thing, let alone Qiao Zhiyu from the same group.
But it should be that the healer will directly enter the same landing point as his extraordinary person.
Yu Zhi was on guard while checking the items on her body.
She was wearing a uniform protective suit, which could resist cold and heat to a certain extent, but the temperature on the extremely cold planet was too low, and the cold wind mixed with ice and snow was howling, making her exposed face hurt.
If she only relies on protective clothing, she probably won't last long and will be eliminated due to hypothermia.
On his waist was a kinetic energy gun, which only healers had, and a uniform alloy military shovel.
She opened her backpack and quickly checked it. Inside was only a bundle of ropes of unknown material, an empty water bottle, a small flashlight, and barely enough nutrient solution for one day.
Fortunately, she can see the approximate location of her matched teammates through the bracelet, and Qiao Zhiyu will definitely come to find her.
However, during the period before they reunited, she could only rely on herself to find a solution.

Outside the Star Network, inside the control room.
He Meilin, head of the Healing Department, is furious.
"Did you forget your brain at home?" She put her hands on her hips, like an enraged lioness. "How could you make such a mistake?!"
"What are you going to do with those girls in our department?! It's freezing here, and you're all alone. If anything happens to them, you'll never get any treatment again in your life!"
The technical instructor, who was being scolded by her, knew he was in the wrong and could only admit his mistake with his head bowed. "It's all my fault... Mainly because it was the first time a healer participated in the competition, and I forgot to set up the same group landing..."
Xie Zhishu and Vice Principal Pang stood aside, their faces also looking unhappy.
This mistake basically resulted in the simulation match failing to achieve the desired results - it was difficult for the frail healers to hold on until their teammates arrived in such an environment.
But the place I randomly landed on was an extremely cold planet where survival was difficult...
Vice Principal Pang sighed: "Well, how about canceling it and reopening it?"
However, it will cost a lot of money. The expenses of all students investing in the Star Network Competition are not small, and the money will not be refunded just because it is reopened.
Xie Zhishu looked at the screen displaying the scene on the star network and thought for two seconds: "Wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for?" He Meilin asked angrily, "Waiting for my students to freeze in there one by one?"
"Meilin, don't worry." Xie Zhishu said calmly, "Maybe the situation isn't that bad."
He pointed to several perspectives on the screen.
An elderly extraordinary person happened to meet a healer. Although the two were not in the same team, he still adhered to basic behavioral ethics and took good care of the healer.
In addition, there were two extremely lucky healers who landed near the supply point together. Without fighting for anything, the two shared the supplies and huddled together for warmth.
From another perspective, Yu Zhi, the "Hope of the Federation", found a white vine and used a military shovel to dig out a space under the vine that was large enough for one person to enter, which could maintain normal body temperature for at least ten hours.
"Perhaps they aren't as fragile as we thought." Xie Zhishu smiled and decided, "The competition will proceed as normal."

Yu Zhi huddled in the snow cave he had dug, sighing that his luck seemed to be pretty good.
Although there was nothing at the landing site, at least there were no ferocious beasts.
And after she walked along the ridge for a while, she found white vines blending in with the snow.
This is an extremely cold-resistant plant that can thrive in the snow, and because it is also white in color, it is not easy to be discovered from a distance.
She started digging on the spot. Now she was completely hidden in the cave, and the cold wind could not blow in. It was much more comfortable than at the beginning.
Judging from the location on the map, Qiao Zhiyu was about a hundred kilometers away from her. In addition, there would always be some obstacles along the way. Even if Langjue was extremely fast, it would take several hours to get here.
Given her physical fitness and fighting strength, moving around rashly would simply be playing with her life. It would be better for her to just wait in a safe place.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhi simply used his backpack as a cushion to take a nap, but his hand was still holding the handle of the kinetic gun, just in case.
If a strange beast really came by by luck, as long as it was not in a group, she would still have a chance to fight.
However, not long after, she heard movement in the snow.
Yu Zhi's heart trembled, and he raised the muzzle of the gun upwards.
It sounded like someone was walking around, pulling out the white vines covering the entrance of her cave!
Yu Zhi secretly cursed her bad luck, but she could only hope that the other party would leave quickly and not discover her.
However, things did not go as planned. The man pulled up a large piece of white vines and instantly discovered the cave entrance that was particularly conspicuous in the snow.
Yu Zhi was ready to shoot, but when he saw the face of the person who came, he breathed a sigh of relief.
For the first time, that fiery red hair didn't look so offensive.
If it were other extraordinary people that he didn’t know, Yu Zhi would have to worry whether the other party would “kill” him for the sake of ranking.
But as for Sheng Jiayi, he would definitely not bother to attack the healer. Besides, his teammates were his good brothers, so her safety was almost guaranteed.
Sheng Jiayi was also shocked when he saw that it was Yu Zhi in the cave.
"Why are you here?!" he asked her, holding a large bundle of white vines.
Yu Zhi looked at him with resentment, then glanced at her bare hole.
Only then did Sheng Jiayi realize that he was the culprit who caused the other party to be exposed.
He looked a little embarrassed: "I just thought the white vines could keep me warm..."
Yu Zhi stretched out her hand to him, signaling Sheng Jiayi to pull her up.
"Oh, okay. The nearest supply point is more than ten kilometers away. We have to walk for a while." Sheng Jiayi put down the vine he was holding and grabbed her out through the protective gloves.
"Wait a minute." He quickly weaved the white vines together and tied them with ropes, and soon made a "blanket" that could be wrapped around the body.
Sheng Jiayi handed her the vine blanket and said, "Put it on."
"Thank you." Yu Zhi was not polite. She obviously needed something to keep warm more than the other person.
She followed Sheng Jiayi, walking in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After walking out of this desolate area, they soon encountered a strange beast with green eyes due to hunger.
Sheng Jiayi vigilantly signaled Yu Zhi to step back. The space flickered, and a two-meter-tall Vermilion Bird bathed in flames flew out, chirping.
