Due to routine inquiries, Lin Shuo was temporarily restricted to only move within the scope of the second combat sequence.
But this did not stop him from meeting Xing Yun.
Soon, Lin Shuo returned to the courtyard where Xing Yun's team was located.
"Instructor Xing?" Standing in the yard, Lin Shuo shouted, but no one answered.
It seems that the instructor is not here.
Lin Shuo sighed softly and walked towards the dormitory building.
The other nine team members have all left and returned to Shancheng University early. Their rooms have been emptied, waiting for the next batch of reserve camp members to enter.
Because Lin Shuo hasn't left yet, his room is still there.
After walking into the room and looking at the familiar furnishings, Lin Shuo had a smile on his face.
Standing here, he remembered the half month of special training with everyone.
And now the other nine team members have returned to school.
Tomorrow, he should go back.
Thinking of this, Lin Shuo walked out of the room and planned to go to the training ground to find Instructor Xing.
After a while, he walked out of the training ground in despair.
Instructor Xing is not at the training ground either.
He regretted that he came out too quickly and should have asked someone to find out where Instructor Xing was.
After walking a few steps, a short-haired girl walked in front of me.
Looking at the girl's familiar face, Lin Shuo's eyes lit up slightly.
"Ji Yun!"
Ji Yun was stunned, and after noticing Lin Shuo, he quickly wiped his reddish eyes, walked towards Lin Shuo, and forced a smile, "Boss, have you completed your assessment task?"
"It's done. The others left early. I'm still here because of some other things." Lin Shuo glanced at Ji Yun's face that was obviously crying, "What's wrong with you?"
"Our mission has been completed." Ji Yun's eyes turned red again, "But the instructor of our team died to protect us. Just now our team paid homage to the instructor at the combat personnel cemetery, so..."
She wiped her tears and said, "Our mission was to destroy a small nest, but some special circumstances occurred. That nest merged with another nearby nest. By the time we discovered it, it was already too late. If it hadn't been for the instructor,
, we may have all died in the mission."
Lin Shuo was slightly silent, "Sorry."
"I remember that the instructor of your team is instructor Xing Yun, right? I seemed to have seen him at the cemetery just now..." Ji Yun shook his head, with a bit of sadness in his eyes, "No more, I have to go back and pack my things first.
, I and several other teammates took the transport bus back to school today."
"Okay, go and clean up." Lin Shuo nodded slightly, watched Ji Yun leave, then turned and walked towards the cemetery.
Unexpectedly, after chatting with Ji Yun for a few words, I happened to know the whereabouts of instructor Xing.
Cemetery...
Li Hong's figure flashed across Lin Shuo's mind.
Lin Shuo was a little silent.
He had already guessed the reason why instructor Xing appeared at the cemetery.
…
Combatants Cemetery.
Walking quietly among the cemeteries with countless tombstones, Lin Shuo soon saw Xing Yun's figure.
He sat casually on the ground, holding a palm-sized portable kettle in one hand and staring silently at the tombstones in front of him.
Lin Shuo was speechless and walked forward silently.
As he approached Xing Yun, the smell of alcohol hit his face.
Xing Yun turned to look at Lin Shuo and coughed lightly, "Combatants are not allowed to drink alcohol. This is a flavored drink."
Lin Shuo: “…”
Just say it is.
He stood beside Xing Yun in silence, looking at the tombstone in front of him, his eyes suddenly turned red.
It’s not just Li Hong.
Among the ten instructors of the No. 19 combat team, the familiar faces of three instructors appeared on the tombstones in black and white photos.
"Instructor Zhao and Instructor Zhou also..." Lin Shuo's voice was very soft, worried that speaking too loudly would disturb the deceased.
"Well." Xing Yun's eyes flashed with a look of regret, "Xiaoyue and his team's mission had an accident, and so did Zhou Ran. In the end, neither of them came back."
Lin Shuo was silent again.
He still remembered the instructor named Zhao Yue. She was a heroic female instructor who was somewhat similar to Sister Nan in temperament. The content of her teaching was about combat formations in the army and cooperation with pet animals. During the teaching process, this
The instructor was quite strict, but every time it was break time, she would quickly get along with the team members.
Although he only attended Instructor Zhao's class for one day, the instructor left a deep impression on him.
As for instructor Zhou Ran...
This was the instructor who took over the responsibility of Tang Long's team after instructor Tang Long was injured.
Lin Shuo was not very familiar with him, but a master combatant who was contracted with a pet beast of the monarch race died in the final assessment mission not long after taking over as the instructor of the reserve camp team. It was also a very disappointing thing.
Things that people regret.
Lin Shuo's eyes finally fell on Li Hong's black and white photo.
He was a little stunned.
That black and white photo was very different from the Li Hong in his impression.
He still remembered the first time he met Li Hong. He kept talking and regarded all the new students in the preparatory camp as "waste" that was holding them back. He also made him stand for a long time. His tone was very fierce, and he raised his voice from time to time to startle everyone.
During the special training of the combat team, this instructor became the least favorite instructor of the entire No. 19 combat team in just a few days. He was even secretly nicknamed "Devil Li" by everyone.
.
In the last three days of self-selected special training content, Lin Shuo chose Li Hong's course for one day. He remembered clearly that there were obviously fewer people who chose Li Hong's course like him than other instructors. Even Xing Yun's stick method course,
They are all more popular than Li Hong’s courses.
Such an instructor, who in Lin Shuo's impression had a very bad temper, actually smiled very cheerfully in the photo, like a sunny boy.
Is this Instructor Li Hong...
While feeling sad and remembering, Lin Shuo couldn't help but be curious.
"Instructor, this photo..."
"Oh, you're talking about this." Xing Yun glanced at Li Hong's black and white photo as if he were an old friend, with a bit of nostalgia in his one eye, "You know, many of the instructors in the preparation camp know each other.
I have been comrades for many years, many of whom fought together and were in the same team in the beginning."
"Although Li Hong and I have only been instructors in the collaborative reserve camp for four or five years, I have known him for ten years." Xing Yun smiled slightly, "When I first met him, he enlisted in the army on the first day.
Only twenty, elite level beast master, I joined the army a year earlier than him, so he calls me senior."
"At that time, he had the most cheerful personality in the entire combat camp. Every time a comrade died, he would secretly wipe away his tears while deliberately telling us jokes to lighten the atmosphere a little." Xing Yun laughed and cursed, "Fuck!
Yes, who can laugh when his comrade is sacrificed?"
"Later, there were more battles..." Xing Yun shook his head slightly, "More and more comrades died, and the members of the combat battalion changed one after another. Those who can remain are those who have experienced hundreds of battles.
personnel."
"Can you imagine the pain of constantly sending away teammates?" Xing Yun sighed softly.
"We can still fight, but we have had enough of saying goodbye."
"So Li Hong and I chose to become instructors of the reserve camp, as did several other old comrades, but they are not in the No. 19 combat team, so you probably don't know them."
"After entering the collaborative preparatory camp, Li Hong suddenly changed into a different person. He was extremely harsh on every member of the preparatory camp and often said all kinds of unpleasant things." Xing Yun looked at Li Hong again and smiled.
The particularly cheerful black-and-white photo showed a bit of disappointment in his eyes, "This guy is a smart man."
Xing Yun did not explain the meaning of his last sentence, but remained silent again, picked up the wine in his hand, and took a deep sip.
Instructor Li Hong secretly wiped away tears and told jokes to his teammates for the sacrifice of his comrades...
Lin Shuo was silent.
Xing Yun's narration painted a completely different picture of Li Hong.
"Instructor, how is Li Hong's team?" He suddenly said, "Instructor Li Hong died on their mission..."
"Li Hong's team has completed its mission." Xing Yun's face became more self-deprecating, "When I crushed the distress signal stone, Li Hong's team had just returned to the rest camp and was preparing to return to the rear."
"So..." Lin Shuo's heart seemed to be tightly clenched, "If I hadn't been in danger, Instructor Li Hong could have returned to the rear safely without sacrificing his life?"
Xing Yun suddenly raised his head, glanced at Lin Shuo, then silently put down the wine bottle and stood up from the ground.
He walked up to Lin Shuo with calm eyes. He was slightly shorter than Lin Shuo, but he had a strong oppressive power.
"Are you blaming yourself for him?" Xing Yun said calmly, "Do you think that if you were not in danger, he would have survived, so you killed him?"
"Isn't it?" Lin Shuo's eyes were slightly red, full of guilt.
"No, you are insulting him." Xing Yun said in a low voice.
"I..." Lin Shuo's eyes widened and he looked directly at Xing Yun, quite puzzled by his words.
"You know? Li Hong doesn't have much education." Xing Yun said with a bit of regret in his eyes, "He didn't like studying very much, so he took many detours when he was young. Because his grades were not high and his family conditions were not good, he gave up.
In order to enter the Beastmaster University and sign a battle beast training agreement, I got my first pet beast."
Battlefront pet training agreement...
Lin Shuo fell silent.
Once this agreement is signed, you can get the first pet beast provided by the Yanhuang Alliance for free, and it must be the initial pet beast of the lower leader race, and you can also get a valuable pet beast training gift package.
The price is that after reaching the elite level, you must serve on the border front for one year.
He once had the opportunity to make this choice, but because he was worried that the battlefield would be ruthless and he would never come back, he would rather contract an elite race than sign such an agreement.
"So, what he admires most are the researchers of the Alliance."
Killing the reckless man will help the alliance even more."
"We are combatants. It is our honor to fight bloody battles and die on the battlefield!"
Members are our glory!”
"As early as the moment we rushed to the front line, we had already put life and death aside." Xing Yun looked at Lin Shuo quietly and said softly, "Do you think that Li Hong chose to help you when he killed an enemy of the monarch-level and emperor race at the last moment?
At the moment when he was stalling for time, was he regretting coming to the rescue, or was he feeling extremely proud?"
Lin Shuo remained silent.
But he actually already had the answer in his mind.
He didn't want to say this answer.
Because it would make him feel shameless.
However, there was a question that he still wanted to ask.
"Instructor, what exactly is the significance of the collaborative preparation camp?"
"It's just a combat mission. If the content of the final assessment mission is carried out by experienced combat personnel, it can be done better and no one will be sacrificed. Why should it be carried out by the combat team of the reserve battalion? We have no experience.
, it will only drag down the instructors.”
"Combat missions are performed by every combatant."
Carrying out such battles year after year is the foundation for the Yan-Huang Alliance to resist the beasts."
"As for the final assessment mission, each of your teams has completely different mission objectives, but in fact, it covers all combat directions on the border front." Xing Yun's voice paused slightly.
"It is the daily task of the vanguard combat battalion to go deep into the lair of alien beasts and exterminate them."
"Exploring the nests of alien beasts and providing evidence for their extermination is the daily task of the outpost combat battalion."
"It is the daily task of the mobile combat battalion to rush to different areas on the border front and help combat teams in crisis."
"Treating injured combatants, ensuring logistics, and assisting combatants in exchanging various supplies are the daily tasks of the logistics combat battalion."
"Cleaning the battlefield after the tide of alien beasts strikes, collecting various supernatural resources from the corpses of alien beasts, and collecting the corpses for teammates are the daily tasks of cleaning the combat camp."
"And directing teammates to fight and making overall plans are the daily tasks of the command headquarters."
Xing Yun looked at Lin Shuo calmly, "In the combat missions and final assessment missions, what you have experienced is everything on the border front."
"You are very immature and inexperienced, but that's how everyone got here."
"Are you asking about the meaning of the collaborative preparatory camp?"
"The purpose of the collaborative reserve battalion is that one day, if the border front is destroyed, there will be someone to step up in times of crisis. At that time, you will not need to use your lives to make up for your lack of experience. You will be able to use the secondary schools of the collaborative reserve camp.
After receiving the equipment, various combat units were quickly built to form a brand new border front."
"Wild fire, in spring."
"Sacrifice now to make fewer sacrifices in the future."
"Do you understand?"
"How is it possible?!" Lin Shuo's childish hole shrank violently, like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, "With the coordinated operation of the beast masters, the beast masters of the same level can crush the alien beasts, and the twelve commanders can
To resist An Lin, An Lin cannot take action, how could the border front be destroyed?"
"Nothing is impossible." Xing Yun sat back on the ground again, took a deep sip of wine, and said calmly, "What if one day, a second immortal class appears in the Dark Demon Immortal Kingdom?"
"What?!" Lin Shuo exclaimed.
"More than forty years ago, three immortal-level beasts appeared one after another in just a few years."
Today, more than ten years later, are there really only three immortal-level beasts in the entire Blue Star?"
"Not every immortal-level beast will gather all the forces after breaking through and establish an immortal kingdom. Maybe there will be one that breaks through the immortal-level beast under the earth where we are standing, or in some other hidden place.
What about the existence of unknown strange beasts?" Xing Yun said pointedly.
Lin Shuo's fists suddenly clenched.
Xing Yun's question was something he had never considered before.
Whether it was textbooks or other places, he was told that there were three immortal beasts in Blue Star. These three immortal beasts established three immortal kingdoms and fought against humans for a long time.
But, are there really only these three immortal-level beasts?
Today's three immortal-level beasts have put various security alliances under great pressure, putting their survival at risk at all times.
If another immortal appears...
The balance that has been maintained for forty years is broken, and what may happen to humanity is a complete collapse.
Those immortal-level alien beasts that may exist but have not taken action against humans may not be too hostile to humans, or may have their own purposes, so they choose to wait and see for the time being.
However, these are all possible threats from the Yanhuang Alliance.
He was wrong.
It's so wrong.
He thought that with the coordinated fighting of the beast masters, the Yanhuang Alliance could already suppress the Dark Demon Immortal Kingdom. They only needed more powerful men like the twelve commanders in chief or a legendary beast master to appear.
Possibility of victory.
But the actual situation is that if any immortal beast appears on the opposite side of the Yanhuang Alliance, this hard-won situation may be easily ruined.
The Yanhuang Alliance has never had peace.
Lin Shuo stood there in a daze, not knowing how much time had passed, when Lin Shuo was awakened by a slight sound of wind.
He looked up and found that Instructor Xing had stood up again at some point, holding a black cloud stick in his hand and waving the long stick in the aisle between the tombstones.
It was a stick technique that Lin Shuo had never seen Xing Yun perform before.
After practicing martial arts for so long, he has developed the ability to judge the quality of a set of weapons.
After just a few glances, Lin Shuo knew that this was a stick technique with only superficial appearance.
In the eyes of a layman, it may seem very powerful, but compared to Xing Yun's original stick technique, this set of stick techniques is much different.
However, Xing Yun danced extremely seriously.
He was slightly drunk, and he swung the long stick in his hand wantonly through his drunkenness. He was no longer calm, but practiced among the tombstones with a bit of showoff and deliberateness.
The stick technique was erratic, but it passed through the gaps between the tombstones accurately. It did not disturb the souls of the dead comrades in the slightest, but it seemed to be deliberately teasing them.
Lin Shuo rubbed his eyes gently.
He saw it.
I saw countless illusory figures sitting around casually, watching Xing Yun show off this flashy stick technique, cheering loudly and clapping for every stick stroke and every sweep.
Two lines of tears flowed down Lin Shuo's cheeks.
He didn't even know why he was crying.
His fists slowly clenched tightly, very tightly.
It was you and it is you now.
The future is me.
It's us.
