Chapter 5

Years of depressing life had taught Aonashi the basic skill that nothing would interfere with her sleep, even when she heard from Kanojin that she would be sold to an old man by Viktor, she didn’t lose any sleep.

This time was no different, although in also guessed the form of the beginning of the examination, she still quickly fell asleep, as a result, at three in the morning, in the most sleepy time, the door of her room was suddenly opened, although immediately rolled over and up to cope with it, but outnumbered, but still quickly pressed to the ground to tie her hands and blindfolded.

She knew the test had begun, and didn’t put up too much resistance, allowing the other party to take her downstairs and stand in the living room, the surroundings were quiet, she didn’t know what would happen next, and quietly waited where she was.

A hand pressed against her cheek, her muscles tensed her whole body on guard, and then naturally relaxed in the next second, because she knew whose hand it was, and the other person called her name gently.

“Ah Li.”

Qing Li did not expect that at three in the morning, Yue Zhi would deliberately wait here to send her off, “Sir, you don’t need to be like this, you should have a good rest.”

Yue Zhi put a necklace on her neck, “This should never be lost, no matter if you succeed or not, this will allow me to locate your position to find you, if you accidentally get lost in the rainforest, you know the consequences.”

Qing Li wanted to touch the necklace, but there was no way for her to do so with her hands tied behind her back, she just subconsciously rubbed her cheek against Yue Zhi’s palm before his hand left, “Okay.”

“Cheer up, three days later, I will personally pick you up.”

Qing Li was then taken away, she was put on a helicopter and flown to a primitive forest several hundred kilometers away from the manor.

Yue Zhi’s manor was located in the southwestern part of the border between New Zealand and Malaysia, facing the Strait of Malacca, this area of more than a hundred kilometers in circumference belonged to Malay from the map, but in reality it was all under the control of Yue Zhi himself, except for that small town at the foot of the mountain, there were no other towns.

His daily activities in Singapore, take a helicopter half an hour to Singapore Yue’s group is located in the building, the top floor is his special apron, no one will also no one dares to stop him for inspection, with him, the so-called border customs is like a sham.

That town is actually a material transit point, an armed checkpoint, a barrier, and a common crop supply point.

The area that belonged to Yue Zhi extended further out, a vast uninhabited pristine rainforest in Malay, which was also where Qing Li was going to be tested this time.

She was thrown straight out of the helicopter and rolled several times on the ground, and if it wasn’t for the thick layer of humus cushioning the forest, the height of nearly two meters, and her hands tied behind her back, she would definitely have been injured.

As the helicopter drifted away, a silence fell around her, and she couldn’t hear anything but her own slightly rapid breathing.

Aonashi rolled back and forth on the ground a bit, bumping into a tree, she sat up against the trunk and rubbed the cloth scarf that was covering her eyes against the trunk slamming her head down.

It was a very plain patch of rainforest around her, the air was humid and muggy and there was nothing around, looking up and around there was a black marching bag hanging from a tree twenty meters away, it contained the basic supplies she would probably use for the next three days so she had to get that first.

She scrunched herself into a ball, wrapping her bound hands under her buttocks and back in front of her, then found a rock and rubbed herself on it over and over, it took her half an hour to completely break the rope because of the slippery moss.

After that she found another vine and wrapped it around both her hands and feet a few times to increase the friction with the tree trunk, then like a nimble monkey, she flew up the tree and got the backpack that was hanging at least five stories high. A height where she shouldn’t die if she fell, but would definitely suffer broken bones and injuries.

The bag was a bit heavier than she expected, and contained a special operations suit, an insulated blanket, a saber, a packet of compressed cookies, a bottle of five-hundred milliliters of mineral water, a box of matches that had been dampened, and a bunch of gun parts, which she instantly recognized as a ppk pistol, which wasn’t the best for the job, but was inexplicably her favorite because of the movie “James Bond”.

No bullets were found.

It seemed that in these three days she not only had to run and not be captured by the ten or so mercenaries led by West Pole, but she also had to find a way to counterattack and get supplies and provisions from the other side, or else these would not be enough to last her for three days.

She quickly took off the T-shirt and shorts on her body and changed into a special combat suit, she also found a headset in the pocket of her clothes that could make a satellite call, there was no sound in it, but she wore it properly on her ear in case she missed the message by mistake.

After preparing everything, she observed the terrain and decided to head for higher ground.

West Pole was a sniper and would definitely find a way to occupy the high ground, and now assuming that the other party hadn’t arrived on the scene yet, she was going to take a preemptive strike.

As a result, just as she took the first step, a gunshot rang out in the air, and the bullet hit the tree directly beside her, cracking the bark and splattering wood chips.

She immediately shortened herself into a roll and hid behind the tree, her heart beating like a drum, her chest violently stretching.

Headphones rustled, and Xiji’s arrogant voice came from inside, “Breathing too heavily, calm down.”

Aonashi didn’t say anything, biting her thumb in restraint to ease her emotions in case she hyperventilated.

“The movements are too slow, it took almost half an hour just to untie the rope, change clothes, □□□, every movement is slow! I can’t believe I taught you this, shame on you!” Saiji said nonchalantly.

“Now you’re in my scope, technically you’ve lost, three hours, I’ll give you three hours to run, I promise not to move the bullet from where I am, but I don’t care about anyone else, this is your last chance.” The headset went silent as Saiji finished speaking.

Without a second’s hesitation, Qingli pulled out his legs and started running wildly down the mountain!

The high ground had already been occupied by West Pole, the first thing she had to do now was to get as far away from West Pole as possible in three hours, not only did she have to run down this hill, but she also had to go around to the other direction, out of West Pole’s sniper rifle’s aiming range.

Just like this legs keep running wildly for half an hour, because the speed is too fast the woods are too dense, she watched a huge tree come face to face and then urgently dodged, her brain is slightly jammed to keep up, she will hit the trunk of the tree hard herself.

After reaching the limits of her cardio, she stuffed herself into a hollow formed by the roots of a giant tree and hid, replenishing herself with a bit of water and a bite of compressed cookie.

If it was a newcomer with a three-day escape test with not being caught as a victory condition, she might have chosen to find a place to hide properly, but Aonashi understood that it was the least wise choice.

She didn’t know who else was on the pursuing side other than the West Pole, but during her two years of training and learning, she knew that this mercenary group of Yue Zhi’s was filled with top-notch combat talents who possessed super-rich combat experience, and it would be impossible for any trace of it to escape their eyes, and passively hiding would keep on depleting her stamina, and she might not be able to hold on for three days.

Thinking about the situation just now, she gritted her teeth and made a bold decision.

Return the same way.

When she came, she ran in a deadly frenzy, but when she returned, she was relaxed and leisurely, after all, there were three days, and she wasn’t in a hurry.

Sure enough, she had just appeared within the sniper range of the West Pole when the other party’s voice came, “You want to give up, how dare you run back?”

“You’re the one who said that you can’t move for three hours, and if you shoot, then it’s your loss.” Qing Li delivered his own conclusion.

Xiji seemed to be speechless for a moment, gritting his teeth and rebuking, “Biting the bullet and playing smart!”

Aonashi didn’t care about that, this kind of battle doesn’t need to be fair and square, it just needs to be won, she went up the hill, back to the place where she was thrown down from the beginning, carefully searched the surrounding area, and found two boxes of bullets that matched the caliber of the PPK pistol, and there was even a Ghost crossbow and ten crossbows that she was most comfortable using.

She knew it.

The West Pole wouldn’t expose herself for no reason, clearly having the upper hand, but instead offered to give her a chance to escape, and as an enemy, the only reason to do so would be to give her three hours to weaken her instead.

Looking back at the situation, it was to give her no time to search the surrounding area to find a weapon.

And since the others wouldn’t be here for an ambush if they knew Saiji was here, she’d instead be able to come and go without having to be too wary.

Aoshi rubbed her thumb over the familiar feel of the Ghost’s handle, and with the bullets and this, the uneasiness she’d been suppressing from the start disappeared in an instant.

Her first Ghost was given to her by Yue Zhi.

At that time, she had just arrived here for a month, and every day, she had to undergo high-intensity and limit-challenging military combat training. She had never been to school, and she didn’t know how to read, so it was already hard for her to memorize a lot of basic combat knowledge and weapon parameters, so the training was a double test of her mental and physical strength, and she was tortured to the point of almost collapsing, and it was difficult for her to find a balance, and she never made any substantial progress.

That was the first time she got a score of more than eight rings in shooting training, and now she thought it was all luck, but within a few days, Yue Zhi gave her a customized “Ghost” crossbow, and there was also a “Pear” character in laser behind the butt of the handle, which was handwritten by Yue Zhi and then printed on it. The word “Pear” was handwritten and printed by Yue Zhi.

From that day onwards, her training progress immediately and steadily, two months later, she used that crossbow to shoot the instructor, steadily stabbed in the heart of the other side’s bulletproof vest.

She had consumed a lot of bows in the past two years, and every time she scrapped one, a new one would appear in her room within a few days, with the same familiar “Pear” character, the handwriting was slightly different each time, and it was all handwritten by Yue Zhi.

A year ago, on the first anniversary of her arrival, her companions at the base threw her a party, and Yue Zhi didn’t show up, but when she came back to her room in the evening, there was another “Ghost” crossbow on the table.

It was different from the previous ones, the camouflage paint was customized into eye-catching Barbie pink, accompanied by ten Barbie pink crossbow arrows, and the tail feathers were trimmed into a pink heart shape.

She remembered being speechless for a moment when she saw the exaggerated crossbow with colors that couldn’t even be used in a real battle, and then she couldn’t help but laugh out loud the next second, and then she bought a glass frame specifically for the crossbow and arrows, and hung it on the wall as a souvenir.

“One hour to go.” With the rustling sound still in her headphones, Qingli finished speaking to Xiji, and regardless of the other party’s reaction, she changed her route and started to continue running again.

Perhaps because she had the smoothest and most trusted cold weapon, this time she was very calm emotionally, even her breathing was steady, and she was already in a state.

An hour later, Qing Li had already reached another small hill, hunger struck her, she decided to find a water source first, and then fish for food, if she couldn’t make fire, fish was the easiest food to swallow raw.

Luckily, the rainforest did not lack water sources, she judged the direction based on the humidity of the soil, and soon found a river where she could catch fish.

On the other side of the manor, Yue Zhi had just returned from the pier in Malacca, and was looking at the assessment situation with Liang Jin, and the conversation between Xiji and Qing Li was clearly heard by them.

Liang Jin frowned with a serious expression, “Is this also okay, will it be too easy.”

Yue Zhi relaxedly leaned on the sofa, unimpressed, “She didn’t violate the rules, this is Xiji’s own problem.”

Liang Jin looked at him, “Mister is too lenient with her.”

“There’s just this one little girl in the men’s nest, it’s normal to spoil her a bit.” Yue Zhi’s mouth was tinged with a smile, his eyes calmly looking at the red light point on the screen representing Qing Li, and there was a green light point nearby in the midst of approaching.

He said, “Besides, polishing weapons also depends on the situation, swords, guns, swords and halberds, it can’t be generalized.”
