Chapter 1018 – Elimination

　　Pamir Plateau.

　　The night was deepening.

　　Lin Qiye, who was sitting on top of the wall, slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the time.

　　23:57 minutes.

　　Only three minutes left from the first day of elimination?……

　　I wonder, where have the recruits gone?

　　He spread his spiritual power out, and within a few kilometers, or even tens of kilometers, he didn’t see any silhouettes.

　　However, this was normal, this was only the first day, even if the recruits were more energetic, it would be difficult for them to pass through the two major areas of the snow plain and frozen lake one after the other and come to this third section of the snow mountain wall.

　　Just as Lin Qiye was about to close his eyes and continue resting, a silhouette suddenly intruded in the boundary of his spiritual perception.

　　”Eh?”

　　He turned his head to look in surprise.

　　Only to see a one-eyed teenager wearing a cold-proof suit between the icy cold sky and earth, slowly walking from the direction of the frozen lake, one step at a time.

　　At this moment is already late at night, the temperature on the Pamir Plateau, has fallen to minus thirty degrees or so, even if the whole set of winter armor has wrapped around the body of the new recruits, but still can’t withstand such low temperatures, at the moment the teenager’s eyebrows above, has already condensed out of the snow white frost.

　　In Lu Baoyu’s arms, the allocated compressed cookies hadn’t moved in the slightest, he was just looking ahead so resolutely, like a tireless machine, slowly moving forward.

　　Lin Qiye saw that figure and was slightly moved.

　　In such a dark, cold environment, without utilizing the forbidden ruins, without eating anything, relying only on extremely strong physical fitness and perseverance, he walked here ……

　　One must realize that this was only the first day.

　　According to Lin Qiye and the others’ prediction, if a normal recruit wanted to walk here, it would take at least a day and a half, and some of the slower ones might take more than two days …… But Lu Baoyu’s speed was really beyond his expectations.

　　Lin Qiye perceived Lu Baoyu, walking step by step towards this wall, his figure sitting in the snow, motionless.

　　Although Lu Baoyu had already appeared in his spiritual perception range, from Lu Baoyu’s location to this wall, it would still take at least half a day, plus the time to rest and sleep in between, it would be good enough for him to climb this wall before tomorrow evening.

　　After Lu Baoyu walked for some time, three more figures appeared at the edge of Lin Qiye’s spiritual perception.

　　”Whew …… we’ve crossed the frozen lake.” Holding the map, Ding Chongfeng let out a long breath and paralyzed on top of the wasteland as soon as his legs went limp, “This time …… we should be at the forefront of the large group, right?”

　　From the time they left Su Zhe, the three of them had been traveling forward at a high speed, and along the way, in addition to nibbling on a piece of compressed cookie and drinking some water, they had not rested for a moment.

　　Even with Ding Chongfeng’s physical fitness, after walking continuously for such a long period of time, he was already overwhelmed.

　　He had to rest here for a while.

　　On the side, Su Yuan bit his pale lips and also slowly sat on the side, pulling out a compressed cookie from his arms and started eating.

　　”No, Lu Baoyu has already been here.”

　　Fang Mo stood on the wasteland, sniffed the remnants of the odor in the air, and said.

　　”Him? He’s a monster, I’m not going to compare myself to him.” Ding Chongfeng shrugged, “Being able to walk here in one breath is already the limit for us mortals …… But Su Yuan, it’s really hard to see that your physical quality is so good?”

　　”Not bad.” Su Yuan calmly replied, “This journey, it’s a little shorter than when I crossed the Taklamakan Desert on foot back then …… It’s just that there’s no rest time in the middle of the journey, it’s a little tiring.”

　　”…… Forgot that you are an extreme sports enthusiast.”

　　Ding Chongfeng turned his head, only to see that Fang Mo still didn’t sit down, but stood alone in front, gazing at the direction Lu Baoyu left.

　　”Fang Mo, leave us alone and go after Lu Baoyu.” Ding Chongfeng was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke.

　　Fang Mo was stunned and turned her head to look.

　　”You and him, aren’t you arch enemies? You aren’t willing to just fall behind him either, right?” Ding Chongfeng laughed, “Su Yuan and I, we really can’t walk anymore, but you shouldn’t be at your limit yet ……

　　You go, anyway, with Su Yuan and I’s physical fitness, it shouldn’t be difficult for us to persevere through this devil training, we don’t need you to take care of us.

　　Go after Lu Baoyu, go and surpass him.

　　You can’t just give away the number one position in this recruit intensive training, can you?”

　　Fang Mo looked at the two of them for a moment with a complicated expression, then turned his head to look in the direction Lu Baoyu had left, and after a few moments of entanglement, he still nodded his head.

　　”Alright, I’ll wait for you guys at the top of Gonger Mountain.”

　　As the words fell, he took off his footsteps and lightly sped across the wilderness, soon disappearing from Ding Chongfeng’s field of vision.

　　”Alas ……” Ding Chongfeng sighed, “These two monsters …… don’t know in the end, which one of them will get first place. ”

　　”Fifty-fifty.” Su Yuan said absentmindedly while nibbling on a cookie.

　　Buzz–!

　　As the words fell, dozens of drones swept over the sky of the wasteland, instantly attracting the attention of all the recruits on this route.

　　”This is …….”

　　”It’s time.” Ding Chongfeng glanced at the time with a somewhat complicated expression, “The eighty people to be eliminated today should have appeared ……”

　　”Now announce the list of eliminated people.” A mechanical electronic tone came out from the drone’s mounted stereo, echoing in every corner of this route, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.

　　”Six hundred and twelveth place, Xia Long, eliminated;

　　Six hundred and eleventh place, Chen Xuan Ya, eliminated;

　　Six hundred and eleventh place, Li Xuan Yi, eliminated ……”

　　All of the recruits stopped in their tracks, gripping their hearts as they listened carefully to this list, fearing that they would hear their names in it next.

　　Because the route was too long and the area covered a large area, so except for the few that walked at the very front, the other recruits were unable to tell exactly how many people were in front of and behind them, and what kind of position they were in.

　　”You say, your brother shouldn’t be eliminated on the first day, right?” Ding Chongfeng couldn’t help but ask.

　　”No, he’s currently at the five hundred and sixteenth position.” Su Yuan spoke calmly.

　　”How do you know?”

　　”Have you forgotten that I can sense the life fluctuations of everything?”

　　”So, you’ve been secretly monitoring your brother’s position all this way? No wonder it’s always absent-minded.” Ding Chongfeng shrugged his shoulders.

　　Su Yuan lowered his head and silently nibbled on a cookie without saying anything.

　　By the time the list was reported, the recruits who did not hear their names, finally breathed a sigh of relief, some stopped to take a short rest, some continued to march forward.

　　And at the very end of the route, on the endless wilderness, an off-road vehicle sped out, quickly finding the location of each and every eliminated recruit, bringing them directly onto the vehicle, leaving the original route and going nowhere.
