Nearly half a month has passed.

Through the hands of these young people, the insects that infiltrated the base have been eliminated by half.

Every day people drop out of training, in small part because of injuries and in large part because of hunger, swelling, high fever, exhaustion and tremendous mental stress.

The good news is that none of Zuoshan Ji's four-member team dropped out.

Zuoshan Ji himself has a strong ability to live without salt, and can identify the non-toxic salt fruit from the countless poisonous wild fruits, both to stir up for flavor and to replenish the body with the necessary elements.

Now they need at least two people to keep watch while they eat.

Half a month has passed, many people can not hunt wildlife, but also can only live by eating wild fruits, but if you only eat wild fruits, the body does not have enough energy, even the mech pilot will not be able to continue, so there is a word left, robbery.

The "Scar" training is nearing its end, and a lot of people are living it up just to win, and they're doing everything they can to win.

This has been the tacit rule, but with Zuoshan Ji in the group, it was a comfortable experience.

On the last night before the end of the training, they collected and handed in twelve water insect claws early, caught a pheasant and climbed a high cliff.

For the past half month, they have rested in the highest place they could find within a kilometer to avoid being attacked from the high ground.

The chicken was seasoned with salt and fruit, marinated to taste, Xiaochi Chi dug the yellow mud, and picked two unknown broad leaves with a light fragrance like bamboo, wrapped the chicken with leaves, yellow mud wrapped, buried in the ground simmered and cooked, not long, the mud is the smell of meat, steaming upwards.

Lu Bu is responsible for scooping up the chicken, peeling off the leaves wrapped around the outside, the chicken meat is richly fragrant, with a light mineral fragrance and wisps of bamboo fragrance, placed in a washed, folded into a boat-shaped bowl of leaves, and added two or three bright red wild fruits, nestled in the red, beautiful.

The three young masters and young ladies who do not touch the spring water are looking frozen.

The meal was kind of directed by Zuoshan Ji and cooked by Xiaochi Chi himself, who used a cleaned branch to tear open the chicken and share it among the three, while he himself blew on his red-hot fingers and shamelessly took a chicken thigh.

The four of them have been together for half a month and have gotten to know each other quite well, and no one has questioned such an allocation.

It can be said that without Zuoshan Ji, the three of them would probably only be eating wild fruits.

Xiaoqing Wang at first had some thoughts about Zuoshan Ji, just like Qian Luo at the beginning, after all, his combat power is really strong and fascinating, but after spending more time together, Xiaoqing Wang found that this man is a beautiful human ice block.

She asked herself no green snake to entice the monk's skills, but also did not have the patience, so she retreated to the second best, to be friends.

Not surprisingly, this was their last day together, out of the base and apart, and the next time they would see each other, or be in the military.

Xiaoqing Wang simply made her intention clear: " Ji Xiao, I am the sister of Wang Jingqiu, the deputy commander of the South Road Army. Do you have the will to join the South Road Army."

Xiaochi Chi asked Zuoshan Ji, Zuoshan Ji hesitated for a moment, the answer is, as long as we can fight, anywhere is good.

But Xiaochi Chi's answer to Xiaoqing Wang was, "We'll talk about it when the time comes."

061: "...... people Ji Xiao doesn't seem to say that."

Xiaochi Chi said, "Believe me, I'm the same thing as he said. People always have to have some value, and you don't need to sell yourself to be attractive enough. Ji Xiao is the most valuable treasure on the planet, and he is not something that anyone can afford at a price."

Zuoshan Ji slightly disturbed: " Qing Xiao is my friend ......"

Xiaochi Chi says, "Your friend approached you at first with the mindset of recruiting you."

Zuoshan Ji : "But ......"

Xiaochi Chi : "Friends don't just give whatever they say. They are your peers, not your siblings. You're even less their mom and dad."

Zuoshan Ji was silent.

This is an understatement that highlights the crux of Zuoshan Ji's problem: He always treated those around him like younger siblings and would not refuse any request from them. He did the same with Yanchao Zhan and Xiaoqing Wang.

He was shocked to realize that even death still did not change this mentality of his to nurture his young.

Xiaochi Chi does not feel anything, in his opinion, those who can instantly transform after re-living a life, to get rid of all the ills left behind in the previous life, most of them are dreams.

People die and live again is still the same person, a few dozen decades of habits engraved in the bones, if not consciously avoid, then 80% will unknowingly take the same path as before.

Xiaochi Chi also does not want to talk too much with Zuoshan Ji, this child is introverted and heavy hearted, occasionally mention a sentence is enough.

Xiaoqing Wang was not too frustrated by the rejection, she patted his shoulder and did not continue the topic, but raised the question she had been thinking about for the past half month, "If you have such a skill, why do you want to be Yanchao Zhan's human animal?"

Xizhou Wang pulled her: "Sister."

Xiaochi Chi condensed all of Zuoshan Ji's woes into two words: "Raising a family."

With nothing else to do, he told the story of Zuoshan Ji, and although he did not add much to it, it still made Xiaoqing Wang furious, banging on the rocks on one side with a lit firewood: "What the hell is he? Fuck him up! Beat him into an Omega!"

A few days later, this young girl who was still a bit aristocratic frame has been almost infected by Qian Luo.

Xiaochi Chi said lightly, "I have a count."

Xiaoqing Wang has no doubt at all that according to Zuoshan Ji's ability, even if he doesn't wear a mech, using only his mental power, he can trample anyone who has ever abused him under his feet and deprive him of all the energy absorbed in his body.

It was so easy to get revenge that she tapped Xiaochi Chi on the shoulder and said with conviction, "I believe in you!"

Xiaochi Chi was noncommittal: "Go to sleep, Miss. Tomorrow is the last day."

It is indeed the last day.

Their topographical maps were already drawn and they could finish the set as soon as they gathered the mission items that were released at 6:00 am on the last day.

At about 5:50 a.m., the four woke up and waited for the command to come from the beacon.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged man's clear voice came from the beacon, and immediately, an extremely gentle voice came from the direction of the headquarters and spread to the corners of the base.

"Congratulations to all of you who participated in the exercise, the only remaining 1,383 cadets. You, along with your fellow cadets, have done an outstanding job of training, and the next thing I would like to announce is the last job you have to complete ......"

When he said this, he deliberately paused for a moment.

Xiaoqing Wang is a little nervous, clenching his fists, his ears can only hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

"First, if you have a companion with you, embrace him."

Xiaoqing Wang almost didn't catch his breath, but he didn't dare to disobey the order in the headset.

...... hugs are also military orders.

She jumped up and hugged Xizhou Wang, and then a great sense of satisfaction rose up from her heart.

Although these days were filled with danger, this weak brother, whom she had always considered unworthy, stood by her side. They hadn't been this close since they burst out of their mother's womb together.

Qian Luo rushed Xiaochi Chi with a raised eyebrow: "Otherwise, we both have one?"

Before Xiaochi Chi could raise his arm, Lu Bu grabbed it and locked it into his arms slightly forcefully.

Qian Luo cried and laughed: "Hey, food protection. You turned out to be the sweeper of my house."

Xiaochi Chi stroked Lu Bu's head: "Heroes don't ask questions, even if it's an automatic toilet, it's still my Lu Bu now."

With that, he rubbed the partner's face in a good mood.

Lu Bu's joints lagged.

And 061 did not hold back, a long breath of relief, stroking a slightly hot face, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

The person on the transmitter left enough time for everyone's emotional exchange, and waited for about three minutes before the gentle voice sounded again: "When the emotional exchange is finished, the second thing you have to do is to take the mech key that doesn't belong to you and reach the nearest monitoring point. The first ten people to arrive at the monitoring point with the key and the topographical map are the winners of this competition. Everyone, go for it."

Hearing these words, Xiaoqing Wang's smile froze instantly.

"A Mecha Key That Doesn't Belong" ......

The mechs are linked to each other by the energy inside each owner, and the startup key is a backup that allows the mech to remain mobile when the owner is low on energy.

And giving your keys to someone else requires extreme trust, because if the other party wants to do something, they can use the keys to enable emergency devices, force the mechs to shut down, or even make them fire on themselves.

...... and to get "not their own mech key" in the shortest possible time, can only be grabbed from a companion who has just embraced.

But not waiting for Xiaoqing Wang's heart to be cold, he heard Zuoshan Ji's cold-to-the-point order: "Go."

Xiaoqing Wang took a good look at Zuoshan Ji, who had already gotten Qian Luo's key, and walked briskly toward the cliff, each command crisp and clear: "Jump."

Xiaoqing Wang was in a daze when Xizhou Wang pounced on her, handed her the keys and shouted, "Sister, let's go! Let's go!"

Jumping off the cliff, the four men drew their feet and ran in the direction of the monitoring point they remembered from yesterday.

On the way, they saw a group of mechs that had both fallen to the ground and smoked, with the owner inside not knowing if he was dead or alive.

Xizhou Wang compassionate, is about to go over to check, the mantis leg was Xiaochi Chi a pull: "back. Run your."

Xizhou Wang was dragged staggering: "It's okay, I ran fast, I'll see them and come back. ...... They didn't put out a distress signal, they might be hurt!"

Xiaochi Chi sneered, "They weren't wounded. That smoke wasn't caused by battle damage."

After that, he quickly turned back, raised his single palm, took a slight aim, and two air bullets shot out, blasting straight through the main systems of those two mechs. ""

The sound of loud, angry curses came from inside the mech that was as quiet as death.

As Xizhou Wang was surprised, Qian Luo succinctly summarized, "...... is the bait."

Xiaoqing Wang took over her words, "Their detectors should show thermal images within half a kilometer of the vicinity. They are deliberately waiting for us on our way. If we want to search them for any extra keys on them, then they can take the opportunity to snatch the keys from us."

Xizhou Wang's jaw dropped: "Are they crazy."

Xiaoqing Wang, sweating at the corner of his forehead, whispered, "They should not be the only ones who are crazy."

Half a month of hard life boiled the participants' hearts dry and their eyes red.

Having come this far, who would be willing to admit defeat?

Xiaoqing Wang sprinted all the way, thinking about his heart.

If there is only one person left in a squad, will he do his best to grab the key from another squad in order to win?

Even if the remaining people in the squad are an even number or three, the situation is not good.

In this short half hour, the Wang family siblings saw extremely dense fireworks, one after another, one after another, in the clear sky at dawn, rendering the canopy to the flow of light, breathtakingly beautiful.

It's not hard to imagine that a good chunk of them probably lit up the distress fireworks stored in their mechs the first time they got the keys to their companions to help them give up their chances.

...... fortunately, they are with their brother.

Xiaoqing Wang was lost in thought until the outline of the monitoring office appeared in front of her eyes, when great ecstasy replaced panic and enveloped her heart.

However, when he was still 700 or 800 meters away from the inspection office, Xiaoqing Wang clearly heard a cold announcement from the loudspeaker hanging at the entrance of the inspection office: "Nine people have arrived from other inspection points! Only one spot left!"

Xiaoqing Wang's heart was cold, and he unconsciously turned his head to look at Xiaochi Chi.

...... is finished.

With him around, what else are they grabbing for?

The first thing that happened was that Xiaochi Chi pushed her hard on the back: "Let's settle the score. ...... What are you waiting for? Run first!"

After that, Xiaochi Chi said to the other three, "What is the prize for the last place?"

Xiaoqing Wang was busy saying, "The first place is a complete military mech, the second to the tenth place, is a small military reconnaissance mech, and the mech on us is similar, the only difference is military!"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Who wants it most?"

Xiaoqing Wang did not say anything, while Xizhou Wang quickly said for his sister, "My sister wants it!"

Xiaoqing Wang :"Xiaozhou, you ......"

Xiaochi Chi simply said, "Don't talk nonsense, your brother's mech power is the strongest we have here, if he wanted to run long ago. Qian Luo, what about you?"

Qian Luo glanced at Xiaoqing Wang, who was only a hundred meters away from the monitoring point: "I don't want it. If Qing Xiao gets it, just give me the research."

Xiaochi Chi said to Xiaoqing Wang, "I give up too. You just pay me half of the market price at discount."

Xiaoqing Wang cried and laughed: "I don't take advantage of you on this, full price."

Xiaochi Chi grabbed Xiaoqing Wang's arm and pushed her forward while braking the mecha: "Miss Wang, remember your words!"

With the force of Xiaochi Chi, Xiaoqing Wang crossed the finish line.

While Xiaochi Chi and others paced leisurely across the finish line.

Immediately, a person in charge came out of the tent and pulled Xiaoqing Wang, who had just come down from the mech, with an incomparable smile: "Congratulations, our first place!"

He looked around the room and greeted Xiaochi Chi and the others with a gesture, "Second place, third place, fourth place!"

Xiaoqing Wang rushed too fast and is still a bit confused: "...... what? Aren't I ......"

Before her words fell, a pair of mutually supportive mechs appeared again on the sand dunes a kilometer away.

The speaker at the monitoring point began to loop again what had just been broadcast: "Nine people have arrived at the other monitoring points! Only one last spot left!!!"

The two men stalled slightly, and one of them clutched the key in his hand.

And the next second, the mech next to him stumbled and fell to the ground.

...... several people looked at that speaker, from the heart felt the heart chill.

They arrived at the resting point and received food and fresh water.

Once seated, Zuoshan Ji, who had not said a word since last night, said, "The planet wants more than warriors, it wants beasts."

These are crazy beasts that will do anything to achieve their goals. These people are trained in the "scars" and put into the various armies, and their desire to win is so strong that they can do it to their own partners, not to mention the enemy.

Zuoshan Ji thought of his distant past life and the humiliation that he could not forget.

After slaughtering the Alpha, Yanchao Zhan was not punished too harshly, not even court-martialed.

The reason is simple, Yanchao Zhan is a genius in combat, keep him, there is a great use.

And if there is no Yanchao Zhan to avenge him, those Alpha must not be punished too severely, after all, the victim is only an Omega.

Alpha for the protection of the planet to throw their heads and blood, what is the dignity of an Omega?

After asking this question, Xiaochi Chi laughed and said, "According to the rules of survival, the dignity of an Omega is indeed nothing."

061 was helpless and reminded him, "Politically incorrect."

Xiaochi Chi but said, "To the planet, adjacent to the bug star, life are daily don't in the waistband of the pants, to what right."

Zuoshan Ji did not speak again.

Xiaochi Chi propped his body up with both hands back and said to Zuoshan Ji, "If you don't obey, then be the one who makes the rules."
