Chapter 102 – One Man
Eight hours into the Jinnan Mountains.
Carrying their loads on their backs, Lin Qiye and Cao Yuan climbed over an unknown number of peaks, the night color in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and the mountain range in front of them had been completely plunged into darkness.
In this environment where there were branches and earth pits everywhere, it was almost impossible to move without a flashlight, and no one knew whether the next step would be a flat earth or a sinkhole full of thorns.
At this time, the large Jinnan Mountain dead silence.
How many are left? The instructors sat together, and Instructor Hong looked at the time and asked.
There are still three left, special forces soldier Zheng Zhong, Lin Qiye, and Cao Yuan.
Damn, how did those two brats last until now? This is unscientific ah …… an instructor muttered.
Cao Yuan’s body had been refined by the [Black King Chopping Extinction], so it wasn’t strange that he could hold out, but Lin Qiye …… how did he do it? Instructor Hong stroked his chin, his eyes filled with doubt.
There are only two left now. The instructor who was staring at the screen at all times opened his mouth, just now, Zheng Zhong lost his footing in the darkness and slipped down the mountain, crashing and fainting, the medical team has already gone over.
It’s already this point, why don’t we end this extreme training first?
Yes, it’s too late in the day, you can’t see anything at all in the mountains, if it continues like this, there might be accidents.
Instructor Hong was silent for a moment, there is no hurry first, transfer all the drones to those two little guys, and the medical soldiers are always close behind them, ready to rescue.
I would like to see …… where exactly the limits of these two guys are.
In the dark jungle.
Lin Qiye s eyes flashed, the knife in his hand accurately cleaved the thorns in front of him and bowed to pass through the center.
Cao Yuan followed closely behind him, half a step behind.
It’s so dark, you can still see? Cao Yuan held a small spoon and couldn’t help but ask.
Can. Lin Qiye spoke calmly. Then walk slower, I can’t see at all anymore.
I’m already walking very slowly.
No, you said you were reaching your limit an hour and a half ago, why are you so energetic now? Cao Yuan spat, are you a night owl?
Pretty much.
Lin Qiye did indeed fail very early on, but then as the sky grew darker, his stamina began to recover at an amazing rate again, and as long as he rested in place for a while, his spirit was even better than when he first entered Jinnan Mountain!
Although he didn’t want to use his ability to cheat, …… this passive ability simply couldn’t be turned off!
He also wanted to train well and break through his body’s limits, but whenever he felt that he was nearing his limit, his physical strength inexplicably recovered again ……
On the contrary, even though Cao Yuan’s physical qualities were extremely strong after being transformed by the Forbidden Ruins, there was an upper limit to his stamina after all, and after persisting until now, he was also approaching his limit.
In other words, Lin Qiye was like an oddball with a blue return speed of 1000%, while Cao Yuan’s blue bar was long, but the blue return speed was too slow, and there was eventually a moment when it wore out.
It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the sound of a punishment coming, will we be the only two left in this mountain?
There was one ten minutes ago, but now it’s just the two of us.
You know all this?
Lin Qiye didn’t answer and just glanced at the bat that had just flown through the air.
In this late night mountain, earthworms, marmots, lizards, bats …… all the nocturnal creatures are Lin Qiye’s eyes, and since about an hour or so ago, Lin Qiye has completely grasped the situation of this mountain through them.
Even with a few medics following behind him and a few drones hovering above his head he knew clearly, and even as long as he was willing, he could hide in the deep mountains right now, and would definitely not be found by anyone.
Now, this mountain had turned into Lin Qiye’s home turf.
I feel like I’m dying. The two of them traveled through the mountain for a bit longer before Cao Yuan’s hobbling steps came to a halt and stood behind Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow, no more effort?
I can’t pass out. Cao Yuan shook his head, once I lose consciousness, the Forbidden Ruins could potentially turn around and take control of my body, which would be even more troublesome then.
It seems like the Forbidden Market Sequence being too high isn’t a good thing either. Lin Qiye sighed.
You go, I’ll wait here, no surprises, you’ll be able to hear me being punished in a little while. Cao Yuan sat down in place and smiled faintly at Lin Qiye.
I’ll leave first then.
See you at the training camp.
Hm.
Lin Qiye turned around, gripped the sword in his hand tightly, and took big steps into the deep mountains of the night.
Bottom of the mountain.
Cao Yuan had given up in place, and now only Lin Qiye was left. An instructor spoke.
This kid …… is able to give us a surprise in everything. Instructor Hong raised his eyebrows and lamented.
And ……
What?
Since more than an hour ago, he has been walking in a straight line.
What? The instructors inside the tent froze, how is this possible? We’ve been changing the path of Mt. Zinnan, how could he be walking in a straight line?
I don t know, but he did do it, and at this current speed …… up to three more hours, he can really cross the entire Jinnan Mountain!
Three hours? Is he physically strong enough?
Although I would like to say not enough, common sense has always seemed to be inapplicable to him. Instructor Hong was silent for a few moments and slowly opened his mouth: tear down all the tents here, leave one person to punish Cao Yuan, and the rest of you go with me to the other end of the Jinnan Mountain ……
We’ll go there and wait for him.
Instructor Hong, do you really think he can do it?
If it is someone else I may not believe it, but if it is him …… then it is a different story.
Nine hours into the Jinnan Mountain.
Lin Qiye ran faster and faster in the late night mountains, he was like a phantom, freely traveling through the mountains as if he was in his own home.
Suddenly, a voice came out from the weight behind him.
Cao Yuan?
Hm.
You’re doing pretty well now.
I know.
But unfortunately …… you still have to be punished.
I know.
There aren’t many people who can hear our conversations right now, other than a few instructors, just your comrade who is still struggling in the mountains, so you can relax a bit.
You ask.
What kind of girls do you like?
I don’t like girls.
???? You shouldn’t be ……
I like mature, voluptuous, preferably intellectual women who have had a partner ……
Fortunately fortunately …… Wait, you just seemed to have said something unimportant? The instructor’s face changed, your taste ……
Ahem, Cao thief, let s change the question …… What is the most regrettable thing in your life?
Cao Yuan on the other end fell into a short silence.
When I was six years old, I didn t drown myself in the river.
Why?
If I had died at that time, there would not have been what happened next. Cao Yuan said calmly, I wouldn t have returned to the village, wouldn t have picked up the scythe on the ground out of curiosity ……
Wouldn t have let my forbidden ruins go berserk and killed all 172 innocent villagers in the village.
Even more, I would not have been imprisoned in the police station and killed all 161 lives up and down the entire police station with a nail knife …… This is not your fault.
It’s my fault, and I won’t run away from it.
You just couldn’t control the power inside of you, it wasn’t your intention.
My body, I couldn t control it, and that s my fault. That instructor was silent for a moment, so now, is there anything else you want to say to that mountain companion?
Cao Yuan smiled faintly, turned his head to look at the Jinnan Mountain under the dark night, and slowly spoke:
Lin Qiye, don t disgrace us heretics ……
