As the precise structure of the cabin door clicked tightly, a subtle and crisp sound quickly sounded in the quiet cockpit.
The cold and sharp temperament lingering on Li Hong suddenly dissipated, and a trace of well-hidden fatigue appeared in his eyes. Soon, he shook his head slightly and walked straight to a step near the main seat of the cockpit.
He sat down and spoke in a low voice after a moment of silence, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
"There are just two more." In the main seat of the cockpit, a man was sitting quietly. After hearing Li Hong's words, he fumbled in his arms and quickly took out an already opened and somewhat wrinkled one.
Cigarette case, "You can get it all."
"One cigarette is enough." Li Hong took out one cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it and took a puff, then spit out a cloud of smoke after a while.
"Okay." Seeing Li Hong like this, the man shook his head, put the cigarette case into his arms again, and then looked at Li Hong with interest, "You can say that white is black, your mouth and
It's the same as before, still not at all forgiving."
"Have you seen it all?" The lingering smoke made Li Hong's expression become confused.
"The floating transport vehicles are all self-driving. I, as the driver, only exist to switch to manual operation in an emergency at certain critical moments." The man shrugged with a smile, "Idle time is also idle, let's see.
Playing is just a way to pass the time, but there’s one thing I don’t understand.”
"After they get off the bus, they will have to choose which instructor's team to join. It's not good for you to mess with their mentality now, right?" The man stretched, "If you ask me, it's better to say a few nice words to coax them.
, wait until they, the reserve battalion members, have finished selecting their teams."
"It's not necessary." Li Hong shook his head, "Anyway, there will be no less than ten students assigned to me in the end. Who can I teach?"
"What do you think you are trying to do? You can't say you have the best temper among our group, but you are still pretty good. However, every time you scold a student, you scold him the hardest." The man sighed softly, "There is no way you can be so quick-tempered.
Those who call students 'waste' are all top students and the future of the alliance."
"Is it fun to make them hate you? At the end of each preparatory camp, the students anonymously give you the lowest score."
"There doesn't need to be too much affection between instructors and students, so it will be easier to face life and death." Li Hong looked steadily at the smoke that shrouded his eyes, "From the moment I chose to be an instructor, I
I have already made all the mental preparations.”
"I still think your idea is biased... Let's forget about it." The man sighed softly, "How many years have you been an instructor?"
"It's been four years, this year is probably the fifth year." Li Hong said calmly.
"Five years!" There was a hint of emotion on the man's face, "There are only other combat directions. If you can persist as an instructor in the reserve camp for five years, you are also a ruthless person."
"After this year's session, I probably won't do it anymore." Li Hong stretched out a hand to wave away the increasingly thick smoke in front of his eyes, and smiled, "I'm tired."
"Planning to retire?"
"That's definitely not the case." Li Hong took a deep look at the lifelike prosthetic eyes of the man in the driver's seat who still shone with metallic luster inadvertently, "You didn't even choose to retire. I, who is still capable of fighting, have no shame in leaving.
.”
"Me?" The man in the driver's seat chuckled, "I'm in a different situation than you. I don't have any living relatives anymore. I have no worries in this world. How can I not be alive? The camp thinks highly of me and can still let me
This trash who has been deprived of the beast-controlling space is left as a pilot, so naturally I can’t leave.”
"You are not useless." Li Hong said in a low voice.
"Okay, don't talk about me anymore, then you plan to switch to other combat directions?" The man had no intention of going further on this topic and returned to the previous topic.
"Well, I will probably take a few months off, go home to spend time with my family, and then transfer to the forward combat camp." Li Hong nodded, "The report has been submitted and has been approved by the superiors."
"Forward Combat Battalion..." The man paused for a moment before shaking his head, "You really don't stop anywhere. That damn place isn't much better than the Coordinated Preparatory Camp. You can rest assured and find a combat camp in the rear to rest.
How many years will it take?”
"You work so hard that you can't relax anywhere." Li Hong shook his head, "Not to mention this, there is a pretty good seedling in this class. He has reached the third level of beast control space so quickly, and the two pet beasts are still the same.
Dark and ice elements are very suitable for survival on the border front. I don’t know if he has the intention to join the military after graduation, but I think he is very suitable to stay here."
"He?" The man chuckled, "You'd better not think about it."
"What? Do you know him?" Li Hong had a look of surprise on his face, "Don't you have no relatives anymore?"
"I wish I had such a promising relative." The man chuckled, "If I remember correctly, you were on the border front a few months ago when the reserve camp was not opened?"
"Yes, idle time is idle. If you can kill exotic beasts, you can earn some contribution points..." Li Hong nodded and looked at the man, "Are you changing the subject?"
"No, these two things are related." The man smiled, took out the communication device and searched for a moment, then handed it to Li Hong, "In the past few months when you were unable to access the Internet, a lot of things happened in the safe zone.
Not a big deal."
"Lin Shuo..." Li Hong muttered the names in the light screen in a low voice and began to read through the pages silently. Soon, he suddenly turned his head to look at the man, "A person engaged in research? And he has so many achievements?"
"That's right." The man chuckled, looking at Li Hong's changing expression and jokingly said, "How is it? Do you regret your attitude just now? Say a few more nice words and maybe they will choose to join your team. Now,
Well…I don’t see any chance.”
"No." Li Hong shook his head, "I am self-aware and can teach him training. If I really want him to join the team, it would be better to join Xing Yun's team. It is safer that way. But you are right about one thing. I
I really regret it.”
"What do you regret?" the man couldn't help but asked curiously.
"I regret that I told him just now to let him rush to the front during the battle!" Li Hong scratched his head, "A special talent like him should stand in the center of the team, three levels away from others.
With three layers of protection, it’s best not to go to the battlefield and stay at ease in the rear.”
"Ha..." The man was very angry at Li Hong's words, "Are you doing double standards here?"
"What happened to the double standards?" Li Hong threw the cigarette with only the butts in his hand into the trash can and spoke confidently with his head held high, "I admire those who do scientific research the most in my life!"
…
As Li Hong left the cabin, there were whispers among the freshmen.
Although everyone no longer has too much resentment after Li Hong's explanation, dissatisfaction with him is definitely inevitable.
They are all excellent students who can be admitted to Shancheng University, and their IQs are naturally not low. Looking back on the conversation just now, the students soon discovered that the instructor named Li Hong was completely messing with their mentality.
As a result, many people began to complain to classmates they were not familiar with. Thanks to Li Hong, these unfamiliar students quickly became familiar with each other under the guidance of the common topic of "swearing Li Hong together"
.
Lin Shuo held the spear tightly in his hand, ignoring the comments of other students and thinking silently.
Under Li Hong's narration, he already understood the process of this coordinated preparation camp.
There is no doubt that the first half-month training period is a relatively safe period. Although Li Hong made harsh words to make each of them shed a layer of skin, it was just hard training and not life-threatening.
In the next half month, you need to actually go to the battlefield and complete the combat missions of the reserve battalion and the final assessment mission. This process is obviously dangerous. The 5% mortality rate mentioned before is probably also in this process.
If you want to successfully pass the level, you must not only be as strong as possible yourself, but also look at the situation of your teammates.
I don’t know if the teammates will be selected randomly or if they can be selected by themselves.
It would be fine if you choose by yourself, but if you choose randomly... then you really have to leave it to fate.
Never have a pig teammate.
In addition to the procedures in the reserve camp, the rules on the border front are also something Lin Shuo needs to pay attention to.
First of all, there is the environment of ice and dark elements within the Immortal Kingdom.
I have to say that this environment is really friendly to the battle between Qiuqiu and Guigui.
Even if he has to pay more than other teammates in subsequent missions, this is still good news for Lin Shuo.
In addition, there are rules that make technological products completely unusable.
Since this rule exists, things like communication devices cannot be used at all, nor can they access the Internet, nor can they know the external situation, and various thermal weapons are also directly ineffective because of the existence of this rule.
Originally, he thought that it was unnecessary for him to bring a spear, and this preparation was meaningless.
But now it seems that is not entirely true.
The battlefield is ever-changing and anything can happen.
Although it's better than nothing, having a spear at least gives you a little more strength.
But then again, isn’t homologous jade also a product of technology?
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
The cooperative combat of beasts plays a great role on the battlefield, and is even the fundamental reason why the Human Alliance has the advantage in the battle with the Immortal Kingdom. Otherwise, there would be no "Battle of Glory".
Therefore, he believed that even within the rules of the Immortal Kingdom, the homologous jade could definitely be used.
As for why homologous jade, a technological product, can ignore the rules...
This is probably related to the fact that the homology jade can be integrated with the beast control space?
"Elder Lin Shuo!"
A voice woke Lin Shuo out of his thoughts. He turned around and found a boy sitting behind him. The boy had a smile on his face. He looked around and spoke in a low voice.
"I've already roped in nine people. Do you want to come with us, boss? We can just make a team of ten!"
Beside him, several other students looked at Lin Shuo expectantly.
"The instructor didn't seem to say that the team selected its own teammates. What if they were randomly assigned?" Lin Shuo couldn't help but ask.
"We are also making two preparations." The boy smiled, "If the teams are really randomly assigned, then of course there is no need to say more, but if you can choose your own teammates, then won't the teammates who have made appointments in advance come in handy?"
"It makes sense." Lin Shuo nodded in agreement, and then said, "But I'm sorry, I have no plans to form a team for the time being. You can ask others."
He didn't know any of the nine people in the opposing team, so naturally he couldn't agree so easily.
Even if you really need to look for it, you should look for someone you know.
However, he looked at his classmates in the carriage and quickly shook his head helplessly.
There were more than 200 people in this car, and not a single acquaintance was there.
The other people were probably separated into other transport vehicles, and I don’t know if they will be together when they get there.
Being declined by Lin Shuo, the boy felt a little regretful in his eyes, but he wasn't too surprised.
Lin Shuo's strength is much stronger than other students.
For those elite beast masters who have not mastered the coordination of beast control, the strength of the pet beasts is roughly equivalent to their strength. Lin Shuo has two pet beasts, so one person can be used by two teammates.
And his two pet beasts are both very strong.
Needless to say, Shuanghua Mengying, everyone participated in the actual combat assessment and were deeply impressed by that beautiful and powerful pet beast.
Then Lin Shuo's other dark-type pet beast that has not yet appeared, might it be bad?
They don't believe it anyway.
So this boy took the initiative to invite Lin Shuo just for the sake of hugging him.
If Lin Shuo agrees, isn't that a bloody gain?
Now that Lin Shuo has refused, they are not at a loss and can also recruit another classmate to join the team.
Five minutes passed quickly. The freshmen in the transport car only felt a slight shock under their feet, and then Li Hong walked out of the cockpit again.
"We're at the place. Don't rush in when you get down. Although I haven't taught you the rules in the military, it shouldn't be difficult to line up in two rows, right? Get off the bus in an orderly manner!" Li Hong shouted low and saw the freshmen getting out of their seats.
He left, lined up in two rows in the aisle, nodded slightly, and his eyes fell on Lin Shuo's back, which was a little more complicated.
Knowing Lin Shuo's identity, his original mentality of treating Lin Shuo as a thorn in the side naturally changed subtly.
However, he didn't reveal anything and quickly withdrew his gaze.
"Okay, get off the car!"
…
There are a total of 4,000 freshmen at Shancheng University.
And among these 4,000 people, there were naturally some new students who were persuaded to quit by the 5% mortality rate, or who didn't care about the coordinated fighting with beasts.
In the end, less than 3,200 people agreed to participate and came here, accounting for about 80% of the new students.
These freshmen participating in the collaborative preparatory camp arrived here in 16 aerial transport vehicles with 200 people per car. At this moment, as the aerial transport vehicles were neatly lined up in a row and landed on a wide field, the hatches slowly lowered.
It unfolded into a staircase, and people filed out, looking around curiously.
For most of them, this was their first time coming to a place like a military camp. After slowly getting over the initial resistance of not wanting to go to the battlefield, they couldn't help but become a little curious and wanted to know.
What does a military camp look like?
However, as the screams came one after another, everyone's eyes quickly crossed the guardrail at the edge of the field and looked at the area in the distance that seemed to be extremely oppressive, churning with endless darkness, and from time to time there was blood rising into the sky.
A special area that stirs up the storm.
It was still morning, and the not-scorching sunlight shone on their bodies, bringing a feeling of comfort and warmth, but it formed an increasingly sharp contrast with the dark clouds in the distance.
Without too much explanation from the instructor, they quickly realized what the scene was that they had never seen before and that even if they saw it from a distance, they would find it very scary.
The border front between the Yanhuang Alliance and the Dark Demon Immortal Kingdom!
One by one, the instructors also got off the transport truck after all the students walked out.
Rarely, they who had repeatedly emphasized the strict military rules in the reserve camp did not interrupt these students who had just arrived at the military camp at this time, but just looked at the dark sky silently.
Different from the shock of the students who saw this scene for the first time, each of them had heavy eyes, and there was even more unforgettable hatred after seeing the bloody light.
"That's almost it." After a while, as one instructor spoke, the other instructors nodded and shouted for the freshmen in their cars to assemble.
Soon, more than 3,000 students were standing scattered in the venue, and it was completely dark.
In addition to the sixteen instructors who were originally on the sixteen floating transport vehicles, when the freshmen were looking at the black cloud just now, other instructors came one after another and stood next to the other instructors, looking at them.
The new members of the reserve camp in front of them seemed to be paying attention to the good seeds that looked good.
One of the instructors emerged from the crowd, sky-blue light intertwined under his feet, and soon one had an upper body and hands similar to humans, but the lower body was similar to a deer, with blue light patterns interlacing all over its body, and a pair of branches on its head.
It had huge crossed horns, no facial features on its face, and only a one-eyed beast walked out of the void.
Wood type, spiritual type lower leader race, heart-linking deer spirit.
After summoning his pet beast, the instructor spoke softly.
"One hundred people form a combat team. You reserve battalion members are divided into thirty-two combat teams. Now I will read out the names of each member of each combat team in turn. The members whose names are read will follow the combat team.
The instructor in charge left in an orderly manner and headed to the training area of his combat team."
Invisible ripples spread out with Lian Xin Lu Ling's body as the center, covering all the members of the preparation camp. At this moment, the instructor's voice clearly appeared in everyone's mind regardless of the distance.
Lian Xin Lu Ling’s talent skill, Soul Ripple.
This is an advanced version of the mental skill Xinyu.
There was no cumbersome opening. After explaining, the instructor simply turned on the communication device and read out the list, starting with Combat Team No. 1 and going backwards.
Every time a combat team is read, one of the instructors will step out, raise his hand to indicate that he is the instructor in charge, and ask the students whose names are read to gather in the open space next to them.
When a hundred people gathered, they took them away directly.
The originally crowded venue became increasingly empty.
Finally, Lin Shuo, who was a little nervous, heard his name.
"Combat Team No. 19, Lin Shuo!"
Is it the first on the list?
Lin Shuo looked at the instructors curiously, wanting to know who his instructor in charge was.
Then, his expression became strange.
Among the instructors, Li Hong silently raised his hand at this moment.
