In addition to completing the physical tasks assigned by the instructors within the specified time, closed training also includes a one-day team escape competition held in Area B every three days.
In the escape race, student teams need to search for markers in Area B. A team composed of randomly selected instructors will chase the students. After the race, points are calculated based on the remaining number of people in the team and the number of markers. Finally, the teams are ranked based on the points. The first place can get a lot of credits, and the second and third place will get fewer credits.
Moreover, students will not be given much time to prepare and rest during this period.
After each training session and the team disbanded, almost everyone would drag their tired feet back to the dormitory. Even Jing Xia would lie directly on the bed and not move when he returned to the dormitory.
Emperor Xiu must have told Ye Yu and the others that his training was doubled! Was he being tricked by his guardian again?
Jing Xia thought vaguely before falling asleep.
Time flies, and it is the third day. The escape competition begins, and Jing Xia and his teammates come to the entrance of Area B together.
When checking the belongings and mecha, Jing Xia keenly noticed a strange gaze hidden in the crowd, and obediently opened his hands to allow the staff to check.
"No mecha?"
"Well, no."
The other party gave him a strange look, but still let him in. He even kindly reminded him, "The military district can apply for temporary mechas."
Jing Xia turned around and smiled at him: "Thank you, but I don't need it."
He stepped into the unmanned vehicle with a smile, and the unmanned vehicle would take the five members of their team to a random location in Area B.
In the car, Milje was playing with the mecha button in his hand. Inside was the mecha made for them by August. He also decorated the mecha button with a dazzling golden gem.
Herbert looked at the light-blade dagger distributed by the military district in his hand and exchanged glances with Lan Huaili.
"Do the rules say that teams can't steal badges?"
"Um?"
If all students were armed with this kind of sharp light-blade dagger, once a large-scale looting broke out, it would be difficult to guarantee that no student would be spared from injury.
"No."
August raised his team number badge and continued, "To prevent this kind of situation, the school has programmed each badge chip."
"If someone from the two teams is less than ten meters apart, the chip will send a warning signal. Once the warning lasts for more than two minutes, the instructor team will release their location information."
"This not only prevents the teams from fighting over the items, but also prevents the two teams from cooperating."
"But if the team badge is taken away by the instructor, even if you are eliminated, you will be taken away from Area B."
As he spoke, the driverless car stopped and the indicator lights inside flashed, signaling them to get out.
August stood at the door distributing team badges to his teammates.
Jing Xia took a badge and put it on the designated position - on his left chest. After making sure it would not fall off, he began to observe the surrounding environment.
They were located in a corner of a vast plain. Compared to the edge of the dense forest visible to the naked eye in the distance, there was no obstruction here. Although it was convenient to find landmarks, they were too big to be spotted by the instructor team.
"Shall we go into the jungle first?"
August looked down at the map in his hand and planned the route. He nodded when he heard this. He thought so too.
"We can first search the plains for about five landmarks, then head into the dense forest."
"In the plains, the five of us would be too obvious a target."
The other three nodded in agreement, expressing their support for their friend's plan.
Jing Xia and Lan Huaili took turns using their mental powers to detect whether there were any markers on the plain ground, while Herbert and Milje explored the surrounding situation. Once there were traces of other teams or instructors, they would remind their teammates. August thought about their route as they walked and changed it according to the situation.
Jing Xia dug out a marker from half a meter deep under a bush, cleaned it, and handed it to August with a frown on his face.
"How can it be hidden so deeply?"
If he wasn't sensitive to energy fluctuations, he might have overlooked this one.
August put the translucent marker, half the size of his palm, into the space button and shrugged to indicate that he didn't know either.
Thinking of the one Lan Huaili had just pried out from the crevice of a huge rock on the plain, and the one he had dug out from the deep hole in the only tree within a hundred meters.
I really think the military district has so many ways of hiding signs, and they are so deceptive.
August looked up and looked around: "Where's Milje?"
Jing Xia washed his hands with Lan Huaili's help. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked around, but did not see the golden light.
Herbert pointed to a place about ten meters away from them: "There, I think I saw him lying down."
Because of the bushes blocking their view, they couldn't see clearly. Fearing that something might have happened to Miltje, they hurried over to check the situation.
It turned out that there was a cave the size of a person between two dense bushes. Now there was a figure wearing combat uniform and covered in mud, twisting his butt and moving out with difficulty.
Hearing the movement of his little friend, Milje muffledly asked for help from inside the cave: "Help me."
Four people: What are you doing?
Herbert stepped forward, grabbed Milje's waist with both hands, and pulled out Milje along with the creature he was holding tightly in his hands with a "pop" sound, just like pulling out a carrot.
"This is?"
Jingxia and the others came over, surrounded Milje who was sitting on the ground and the dead creature, and looked down at the two in the middle.
