Chapter 117 The Tranquil Training Camp
"What are you looking at! Everyone who got the watch, hurry up and put it on and jump with Liu Lang and the others..."
"What are you all standing there for? Start training! You know, for the next while... you'll be carrying this thing even to the toilet." Hong Hao urged the remaining recruits.
"You wouldn't want to... suddenly do a backflip while using the toilet, would you?"
Once you've balanced the mental currents within the watch, you'll be able to wear it as if you're not wearing it, just like in the movies, constantly training your control over your mind!
After hearing Hong Hao's words, Lin Qiye, along with Cao Yuan and the others, put on their wristwatches and began...
A chaotic free-for-all of acrobatics.
-------------------------------------
Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time Liu Lang still hadn't summoned the God of Fire.
Otherwise, they'll end up like Nasida, hiding in the training base for months, which is pointless.
Besides, it doesn't seem like Nasita. Liu Lang urgently needs her help, so for now, he'll just wait until something happens before summoning Mavica.
During this time, Liu Lang also tried to sign in at several locations that were not part of the main storyline. Finally, a sign-in location that was right on the main storyline appeared.
[Ding! Location refresh successful. Please check in at the location after the Flame Vein Earth Dragon's transformation.]
During this period, apart from Lin Qiye going to Yuan Gang to ask about the story of Chen Muye and Wu Xiangnan, nothing major happened.
Oh, right.
There was indeed another matter, which was that Lin Qiye had driven the instructors of the professors who had been transferred from Huaqing University to a frenzy with his questions.
Later, they joined forces with other students to stop Professor Gu, who had gone to a mental hospital for treatment because he was obsessed with his own ideas, from returning home.
Liu Lang thought, "This must be Lin Qiye looking for a way to cure Merlin's illness."
Hmm... and during target practice, Lin Qiye's marksmanship remained consistently excellent.
And the movie featuring Ray, who displayed amazing marksmanship during shooting training...
That's about it.
However, today,
But something seemed amiss...
The early morning whistle, which should have sounded at five in the morning, did not ring out as scheduled.
The training camp was eerily quiet at this moment.
Liu Lang woke up at 5:30 a.m. and found that half an hour had passed since the morning whistle was sounded.
After waking Cao Yuan, he got up, dressed, and went to meet Lin Qiye.
When Liu Lang went to find Lin Qiye and the others, he also remembered this event from the original work. It was a test that the instructors gave to the new recruits, scoring them based on their performance.
Therefore, Baili Pangpang did not fall into a deep sleep or suffer from a mental trap this time.
He was woken up by Liu Lang before the mental trap was activated.
The four of them went up into the corridor and observed the outside environment through the windows...
"Seven Nights, what's going on?"
Baili Pangpang looked out the window at the gloomy training camp and touched his shivering arms as he asked.
Before Lin Qiye could answer, Liu Lang interjected, "We don't know what happened yet, and the instructor didn't blow the whistle..."
"Could it be that you guys are too stressed? It's rare for you not to do morning exercises... why did you get up?" Baili Pangpang looked in the direction of the training ground, which was empty.
“Something’s not right, nine out of ten things are not right…” Lin Qiye leaned out the window and looked around. “Even if they were really going to skip morning exercises, they would have given a notice, right? How could it be like this, with not a single person in sight?”
Cao Yuan, like Lin Qiye, looked around and said, "Qiye is right."
“There’s no use staying here now, let’s go out and see…” Liu Lang had already realized what had happened. “Let’s go see if the other dorms are up yet… No one in the dorms around here is up, and there’s no response when we knock on the doors.”
"Okay, let's do it the way Langzi suggested." Lin Qiye nodded.
The four of them went downstairs together and saw that dozens of people had already gathered on the first floor, having a heated discussion.
Shen Qingzhu spotted them in the crowd. "Lin Qiye, Liu Lang! You're here? I thought you'd been infected too!"
"Hmm?" Lin Qiye frowned and asked, "What kind of trick did you fall for?"
"It's a kind of mental trap. Once you fall for it, you'll be stuck in a deep sleep and won't wake up no matter how you call you... That's what happened to Deng Wei; he fell for it directly."
Li Liang and Li Jia, who quickly caught up with Shen Qingzhu, nodded at the same time, "We've tried many methods, but Deng Wei is like he's in a deep sleep... he doesn't react at all."
“That’s right, it’s not just Deng Wei… I just talked to them all… More than 80 percent of the people in our entire dormitory are in this situation,” Shen Qingzhu continued.
"So...everyone on our entire floor got infected?" Baili Pangpang felt a chill run down his spine. "No wonder Qiye kept knocking on the door and no one answered."
"What about the instructors?" Liu Lang asked knowingly.
“Someone has already gone to check with the instructors. Everyone in the training camp, from the logistics staff to the instructors and even the old man serving food in the canteen… they’ve all disappeared.” Shen Qingzhu explained with a serious expression, “Now we’re discussing solutions.”
"Did they see any signs of a fight?" Lin Qiye asked quickly.
"No, that's the weirdest part... there's not a trace of a fight, and the entire training camp is just left with our group of new recruits."
"Then... could the current situation be a 'test' or a 'drill' set up by the instructors?" Lin Qiye calmly analyzed.
“I think it looks like…” Baili Pangpang continued, “The instructors are all 'Chuan' realm experts, and the head instructor Yuan Gang is even more advanced at the 'Hai' realm. With such a lineup… even if there really was an enemy invasion, it’s impossible that there wouldn’t be any signs at all?”
"Fuck!" Shen Qingzhu cursed. "If this is just a drill, how do you explain Deng Wei and the others' situation?"
"Are you hungry?" Liu Lang took a bag of steamed buns out of the traveler's backpack and asked, "Want some?"
“Of course we have to! Eating is the most important thing in the world…” Baili Pangpang reacted the fastest when he heard Liu Lang’s words, “I felt quite hungry after I got up… Finally, it’s time to eat.”
Cao Yuan: "Give me one too."
"What time is it now... and you're still thinking about food? Aren't you worried at all?" Shen Qingzhu was in a particularly bad mood because she was worried about Deng Wei's condition.
"Then why are you in such a hurry... Deng Wei... there's no way he'll wake up."
"The only thing we can be sure of right now is that none of these people who have fallen into the mental trap are in any immediate danger," Liu Lang said, taking a bite of his meat bun and pouting.
He even felt that eating just one steamed bun wasn't enough, so he took out a cup of soy milk, slurped it up, and exclaimed, "That's great!"
“You…” Shen Qingzhu looked at Liu Lang, who was eating with great relish, and her heart wavered.
"Don't worry...maybe this is...a test from the instructors!" Lin Qiye took the soy milk, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks from Liu Lang and went to the side to eat.
"Fuck!" Shen Qingzhu seemed to remember something, found a surveillance camera, and raised her middle finger. "Fuck this test!"
After finishing his rant, he turned and walked over to Liu Lang, raising his hand and saying, "Give me three servings too."
"You're eating three portions by yourself?"
"I got these for Li Liang and Li Jia; they haven't eaten either..."
Liu Lang thought for a moment, since these steamed buns were taken from the cafeteria anyway.
It's free, so just give it to them.
"Yes, these are yours."
After giving Shen Qingzhu three servings of steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, he called out to the remaining twenty or thirty people gathered not far away, "Are you hungry? Want some too?"
Baili Pangpang muttered to himself, "Why does this steamed bun I'm eating taste like the cafeteria food?"
Liu Lang: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
Baili Pangpang: ╳ (Shut up)
The other recruits had already smelled the aroma wafting from Liu Lang's group, because Liu Lang's backpack had a built-in insulation function, so whatever was put in... would still be the same when taken out.
The aroma of the meat buns and fried dough sticks wasn't very strong, but... they were hungry.
Upon hearing Liu Lang's words, everyone consciously lined up in front of him to get their food...
at the same time........
Outside the training camp, in a makeshift command room.
The instructors who had disappeared from the training camp have all reappeared here...
Yuan Gang sat in the very center of the instructors' group, in the C position.
All the instructors' eyes were fixed on the huge screen in the middle, directly opposite everyone.
What's playing on the screen right now is the scene on Liu Lang's side.
Hong Hao stared at the new recruits happily eating on the monitor, feeling utterly exasperated.
What on earth is this?!
Moreover, it wasn't just Hong Hao... all the other instructors present twitched at the corners of their mouths.
I don't know how to evaluate it.
