Chapter 53: Announcing The Reward
“Lin Xi, you’re covering for Shi An’an, but you won’t escape either! None of you will escape!!!”
“………” Shi An’an looked at Lin Miao speechlessly, then glanced at Lin Xi, whose face was darkened.
The surrounding students watching the excitement heard this and all looked toward Shi An’an and Lin Xi, their gazes filled with suspicion.
Lin Xi raised his hand and rubbed his brow, silently chanting in his heart, just this once, and from now on, he would never lead new students in military training again!!!
Seeing Lin Xi remain silent, Lin Miao thought he didn’t dare to retort and immediately perked up.
“Lin Xi, Shi An’an, you won’t escape either, you…”
“Shut up!” Lin Xi’s sharp gaze shot toward Lin Miao.
Lin Miao was so scared that she immediately stopped what she was about to say.
“Now, everyone, assemble in formation!” Lin Xi said coldly, looking at the surrounding students. “30 seconds, deduct ten points per person if you exceed the time!”
“Ah! Hurry, hurry, hurry…”
As soon as the students heard they would be deducted points, they all sprang into action, scattering and fleeing—oh no, quickly assembling!
“He Rui, you bastard! Where the hell are you hiding!” Lin Xi gritted his teeth and contacted He Rui, but still couldn’t get through.
With no other choice, Lin Xi had to call that guy An Yi…
At this moment, He Rui and Xu Li were leisurely emerging from the Queen Insect Nest—oh, it shouldn’t be called the Queen Insect Nest anymore.
Now that place was fully occupied by wisteria, blooming with brilliant wisteria flowers inside. Probably because it was full of spiritual energy, the few wisteria seeds Shi An’an had used to dig holes earlier had settled down there.
He Rui had arrived early. He heard Xu Li and the others say it was the most comfortable spot, so he had stayed below with them early on.
Just before leaving, they took a quick nap down there, and by the way, recovered their bodies and mental power.
Xu Li and the others were completely held back by He Rui from leaving, chatting idly inside.
Because it had been the Queen Insect Nest before, there was no signal at all down there, so… no one could contact them.
As soon as He Rui climbed up, his optical computer started ringing nonstop.
When he saw countless communication requests on his optical computer, his heart suddenly leaped. “What happened? Why so many messages…”
He Rui immediately called Lin Xi, but it didn’t connect. He called Lei Cheng next, who picked up and told him what had just happened.
“Ximi?! Is she crazy?” He Rui shouted in shock.
Xu Li and the others heard Ximi’s name and exchanged glances, not knowing what had happened to that tomboy.
Ximi was also from their Ninth Legion. In the legion, she was famously a tomboy, charging forward recklessly in battle.
Every time someone fought alongside her, they would be implicated by her wild maneuvers, and yet she always complained they were cowards…
He Rui hung up the communication, face darkened, and quickly ran toward where the students were assembling.
“What happened? What did Ximi do?” Xu Li asked gossipily.
He Rui’s face was dark. “Damn it, that woman’s lost her mind and actually fired at Shi An’an and the others!”
“What?!” Xu Li and the comrades behind him heard this and all quickly ran forward, leaving He Rui behind in an instant.
“Hey? Why are you all running…” He Rui was dumbfounded behind them. “So worried about Ximi? I never noticed your comradeship with her was this deep before, tsk…”
However, thinking of what Ximi had done, He Rui felt a surge of anger. Ximi was done for this time!
After talking with An Yi, Lin Xi learned that Shi An’an and the others’ rewards had already been approved, so he felt relieved.
At that moment, Xu Li and the others arrived, looking at the assembled students and then at the instructors garrisoned nearby.
Xu Li pulled aside a comrade he knew and asked about Shi An’an’s situation.
When he learned Shi An’an was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, they felt deeply guilty. They were originally there for Shi An’an’s protection, but on the last day, this had happened. They would accept punishment on their own when they got back!
Shi An’an stood in the formation, watching Xu Li and the others rush back in a panic, not knowing what had happened.
Her spiritual sense spread out, probing the surroundings, carefully searching once over, and finding no danger. Shi An’an temporarily set her mind at ease.
Lin Xi walked over and stood in front of everyone, calmly looking at the group of students.
When his gaze swept toward Xu Li and the others, he paused, glared at them, and planned to deal with them later!
Xu Li was glared at by Lin Xi and knew it was their mistake that caused this, feeling deeply guilty.
He Rui arrived late, looking at the assembled students and Lin Xi in front, especially seeing Lin Xi glaring furiously at him.
He Rui guiltily touched his nose and gave Lin Xi a sheepish smile.
Lin Xi: “…………” Bastard!
Lin Xi didn’t expect this guy to show up either. After this military training, he never wanted to see this guy again!
“Up to now, you have completed your one-month military training. I believe that after this month’s military training, you have learned a lot…
Your scores from this month will also serve as references for the major legions’ admissions after graduation. I hope this military training did not disappoint you!
You already know your military training scores, so I won’t announce them here.”
Lin Xi scanned the students in front of him. Some looked pleased, others dejected.
Some had faces full of indifference, others were interested in watching others’ expressions.
“Hee hee, this time I teamed up with Sheng Rong, Xin Xin, and the others, so my score isn’t low either!” Shi Lele whispered to Shi An’an.
“That’s great, too bad I didn’t participate…” Shi An’an said somewhat regretfully.
The Botany Department students around heard Shi An’an’s words and all turned to look at her. Ling Xi nearby inched closer bit by bit. “Why didn’t you participate in the military training?”
“Finally!” Lin Xi’s voice suddenly grew louder.
Everyone jolted and looked toward Lin Xi.
“One month ago, on the day you arrived at H11 Star, we had you compete to reach the base, but midway some things happened, and the competition was terminated. Do you still remember?”
“Yes, the instructors picked us up back then!”
“Yeah, the instructors descended from the sky and brought us straight back to the base!”
“After reaching the base, we never left it again…”
……Everyone was discussing animatedly.
“Now, what I want to talk about is this matter.”
Lin Xi scanned around and looked toward Shi An’an and the others. “Shi An’an, Shi Anxin, Sheng Rong, Lin Jinmo, Shi Lele discovered traces of the Insectoid Race during the military training.
Upon verification, they were indeed Devouring Worm larvae.
Because these students discovered the Insectoid Race traces in time, we successfully prevented the Insectoid Race’s resurgence and also stopped the potential war with the Insectoid Race in the future…”
“Oh my god! Insectoid Race!!!”
“Holy crap, I was that close to the Insectoid Race…”
“Real or fake?”
“Weren’t the Insectoid Race extinct? How could they be here?!”
