Chapter 1310: Operation
Knowing that these Drilling Birds are inedible, Cheng Haoyue swallowed hard and tried to ignore the hunger in his stomach, then saw Ji You standing in the spacious cave, dividing all the students into several groups and assigning them detailed tasks according to each group.
Originally, Cheng Haoyue was a bit distracted due to hunger, but after listening to Ji You’s words, he widened his eyes in surprise: "Can we really do that?"
The other students also widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide: "!!!"
Cheng Haoyue trembled slightly and felt a bit dizzy, saying: "Are we... really going to do this?"
Ji You declared: "Once I, Ji You, speak, my decisions are never taken back!"
In other words, it must be done.
Cheng Haoyue felt an inexplicable excitement upon hearing this. He extended his hand, rubbed his palm, and said with a grin: "Alright, let’s do it."
He Nu didn’t question Ji You at all. Upon hearing Ji You’s arrangements, his dark eyes gleamed.
Then.
Ji You waved her hand and said: "Comrades, it’s all or nothing here. Success is the only option, failure is not allowed. Understand?"
Cheng Haoyue and others shouted loudly: "Understood!"
Ji You estimated the time and said: "The outdoor temperature is currently about minus 16.6 degrees. We must complete the task before it drops to between minus 23-25 degrees. We only have 30 minutes! I require everyone’s task to be completed within 25 minutes. Can you do it?"
minutes?
Time is a bit short...
But in the pitch dark night, although they couldn’t see Ji You’s expression, they could hear the determined faith in her voice, instantly inspiring everyone to shout together: "We can!".
Ji You was very pleased, waved her hand and said: "Go!"
After saying that.
Ji You was the first to reach the cave exit.
This exit, which could only accommodate half of Ji You, had been widened by her orders, allowing an adult male to temporarily pass through. The entrance was temporarily blocked by a large, heavy stone, keeping out some of the cold and wind. Ji You lifted her hand and forcefully pushed the stone aside, then stepped through without looking back.
Whoosh~
As soon as she stepped outside, a piercing cold wind hit her, making Ji You draw a sharp breath. Indeed, in an unprotected, unheated environment, minus ten odd degrees is very cold.
She shook off the goosebumps on her skin and sprinted away quickly.
In the night, she moved like the wind, whistling away.
Cheng Haoyue and He Nu followed closely, but found that they had already lost sight of Ji You. The two exchanged glances, feeling immense pressure...
Cheng Haoyue opened his mouth and said: "Am I the 2B, or is she the 2B?"
Upon hearing this, He Nu, who originally didn’t plan to say anything, couldn’t resist glancing back at him and said, "I don’t know about her, but you definitely are."
Cheng Haoyue: "..."
Time was ticking, He Nu concentrated his energy and started running again. Just a few seconds in, the biting cold wind caused He Nu to suddenly falter.
Then, he gritted his teeth and continued running.
The wind howled as they ran, the high speed causing strong air resistance to scrape past their cheeks, like someone dragging two cold, sharp knives across their face...
It hurt.
It hurt a lot.
Cheng Haoyue could even smell the faint scent of blood on his cheeks, but the blood froze into ice as soon as it appeared.
It hurt like hell.
It was simply not a job for humans, Cheng Haoyue complained inwardly, but he didn’t stop running.
Indeed, who was to stop?
After all, he had started right behind Ji You, but she had already disappeared without a trace. He was truly using all his strength to chase her, but still couldn’t catch up.
This—
It was truly embarrassing.
Cheng Haoyue pushed harder, running even faster.
But!
Still couldn’t catch up.
The only comforting thing for Cheng Haoyue was that He Nu hadn’t caught up with her either.
By the time Cheng Haoyue and He Nu’s footsteps stopped at the distance specified by Ji You, they found Ji You already waiting for them ahead. Seeing the two, Ji You silently raised her hand and beckoned them over.
The two hurriedly followed her.
Walking beside Ji You, Cheng Haoyue noticed she wasn’t even out of breath, her face wasn’t flushed, and her heartbeat hadn’t accelerated, leaving him shocked and a bit inspired. He secretly vowed that he would definitely increase his training after the match!
To see such strong physical endurance, even one with such meager physical fitness could explode with such great strength, how could he not do it?
Then.
The two saw Ji You raise her hand and point to a pile of scattered stones in front of them, saying: "Each of you takes one person out from inside quickly."
Cheng Haoyue, He Nu: "..."
Cheng Haoyue’s heart trembled as he asked: "What’s... what’s up with these two people?"
Ji You replied: "Knocked them out."
Cheng Haoyue: "..."
Cheng Haoyue’s heart fluttered and asked: "They didn’t resist?" According to Cheng Haoyue and He Nu’s expectations, it should have taken all three of them cooperating to subdue the enemies, but—
Ji You said: "Only if they had the chance to resist."
Cheng Haoyue: "..."
Forget it.
Don’t ask anymore, if he continued, he felt his already fragile heart would find no solace.
The pile of stones looked quite messy, but it was actually a very rudimentary stone house. By removing a large stone, the entrance to the stone house was revealed, which was not spacious and only accommodated about 2-3 people.
Despite the complaints, Cheng Haoyue didn’t dare delay, he immediately lifted a fainted student and hurriedly returned the original way.
He Nu did the same.
As they started their way back, He Nu suddenly turned around and said to Ji You: "Ji You, be careful."
Ji You: "Mm."
Ji You thought for a bit and, slightly worried, reminded them: "Quickly come over to support, the checkpoints built within our Commander’s territory are too rudimentary, I’m afraid the number of knocked-out people might be too many to handle, causing these poor fainted folks to freeze to death."
If her teammates actually froze to death, it would be a big problem.
Ji You certainly didn’t want such a tragic event to occur.
Upon hearing this, He Nu stumbled underfoot, nearly falling over. He steadied himself with some effort.
Then—
He Nu carried the unconscious student on his shoulder and unexpectedly started running faster.
Watching Cheng Haoyue and He Nu depart successfully, Ji You pulled her face together again, then set her foot marching toward the second checkpoint. The poor souls at the second checkpoint should have someone who can put up a fight, right?
