Chapter 731: Training to break out and find a way out, the new recruits return to show their determi
The fog in the woods was thicker than before. Fang Mo's ponytail was covered with water droplets, which dripped onto the back of her neck, making her shiver with cold.
She tightened her grip on the revolver and heard Li Zhenzhen's panting behind her - this girl ran like a little train, and her panting could overturn the treetops.
"Go left!" Fang Mo suddenly lowered his voice and kicked away the dead branches at his feet with his toes.
The broken branch just now moved strangely, as if it was pushed by something.
Ding Chongfeng immediately grabbed Li Zhenzhen's arm, and the new recruits moved to the left in a twisted and distorted manner.
Wu Hen's tactical stick finally hit the tree trunk with a "bang", causing a few leaves to fall down.
"Old Wu, is there something going on?" Lin Qiye turned around and asked, his sword making a slight sound in its sheath.
Wu Hen didn't respond, but squinted his eyes and stared at the place where they had just stood - the grass leaves on the ground were pressed into a semicircle.
It looked like something round had just rolled past.
He poked it with his tactical stick and found that the grass was covered with slime, sticky and green.
"Team Fang, do you smell anything?" Ding Chongfeng suddenly sniffed.
As he spoke, mist came out of his mouth like a ball of white cotton.
Fang Mo took a sniff and found it indeed had a fishy-sweet taste, like rotten strawberries mixed with rust.
Her heart sank - she had heard during the mountain clearing that the baby Green Mist Spiders would spit out corrosive mucus, and this smell... there might be more than one spider.
"Shut up!"
Fang Mo turned back suddenly,
"Li Zhenzhen, put away the dagger. Using that thing to cut spider silk is like giving the spider a rope! Ding Chongfeng is protecting Su Zhe. That kid has cramped his calf!"
Li Zhenzhen snorted and put the knife on her waist: "Sister Fang, you are more nagging than my mother. I——"
"Hush!" Lin Qiye suddenly raised his hand. Everyone froze.
There was a "clicking" sound above my head, like someone cracking walnuts.
Fang Mo looked up and saw a gray ball hanging between the branches.
It is bigger than a basketball, and its surface is covered with a translucent membrane, with something moving vaguely visible inside.
Her back teeth were sore from biting them - they were the egg sacs of the Green Mist Spider.
"Captain Wu!" Lin Qiye shouted.
Wu Hen pushed his tactical stick against the ground, jumped up, and accurately pierced the testicles with the tip of the stick.
The slime flowed down, and seven or eight palm-sized spiders rolled out of it.
There were red spots on its bluish-gray carapace, and the hair on its legs was covered in mucus. It fell to the ground and began to crawl into the crowd.
"I told you I forgot to mention the small one!" Wu Hen cursed as he landed on the ground, swinging his tactical stick vigorously and smashing the carapaces of the two spiders.
Li Zhenzhen picked up a stone and threw it at one of the animals, hitting his leg.
The spider was spinning in pain, and Ding Chongfeng pounced on it and crushed it with his boots, leaving the soles of his shoes sticky with green juice.
Su Zhe huddled behind a tree, trembling. Fang Mo pulled him out by the collar, "Why are you shaking? Where's the realgar powder you're carrying? Sprinkle it out!"
Su Zhe frantically searched his pockets, and the yellow powder spilled all over the floor.
When the spiders touched the powder, their legs immediately curled up like shrimps. Fang Mo took the opportunity to kick away the ones blocking their way and shouted, "Run to the river! Green Mist Spiders are afraid of water!"
The forest suddenly became a mess.
Li Zhenzhen ran and cursed, "Whoever wants to come to this crappy training camp can come. When I get back, I'm going to write a letter of complaint to the Demon Suppression Division!"
Ding Chongfeng was panting so hard that he couldn't speak, and he just pushed Su Zhe behind him.
Wu Hen was the last one standing, and the spider's shell jingled as he struck it with his tactical stick.
He kept talking: "Zhenzhen girl, remember to write my name on the complaint letter - Old Wu is the number one protector of his children!"
By the time I ran to the river, the sun had already climbed overhead.
The river water was flowing, and the recruits collapsed on the rocks. Li Zhenzhen took off her shoes and shook off the water, and her socks were wet.
Lin Qiye squatted on the shore and wiped his knife. The blade was stained with the green juice of the spider.
He frowned, "Captain Wu, who wrote this record of the mountain clearing? We'll have to find him and treat us to sour plum soup later."
Wu Hen squatted on a rock, twisting a tactical stick. Half a spider leg was stuck on the end of the stick. "Who else could it be? Xiao Song, the new guy who came last month. Last time, Qingshan said that seeing a rabbit could be written as meeting a demon rabbit."
"I'll go to his office later and soak his teacup in sour plum soup."
"gather--!"
The whistle suddenly blew.
Fang Mo wiped the water off her face and pulled Li Zhenzhen up: "Let's go, it's time to go back to the playground."
The new recruits supported each other as they walked towards the camp.
Su Yuan suddenly kicked Su Zhe: "You stepped on my heel when I was running just now! My new tactical boots!"
Su Zhe shrank his neck: "I, I didn't mean it..."
"You didn't mean to? You just ran faster than a rabbit!"
Su Yuan put his hands on his hips and said, "If Brother Ding hadn't pulled me, I would have been bitten by the spider!"
Ding Chongfeng quickly tried to smooth things over: "Calm down, I'll treat you to some braised pork from the cafeteria later."
Li Zhenzhen immediately responded: "I want two!"
The playground was scorching hot and the shadows of the poplar trees shrank into a ball.
Lin Qiye stood on the steps, the tips of his boots scraping against the ground. "Today's breakout training, I passed."
The new recruits breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Hen added, "But Su Zhe, you have to do an extra three kilometers of training tomorrow—if you can't outrun Ah Zhu's dog, you won't get to eat."
"Report!" Su Zhe raised his hand.
"Sister Ah Zhu's dog is a Labrador, and that thing can run ten kilometers!"
"So you have to run faster than a dog."
Wu Hen was amused. "Why? Are you dissatisfied?"
"No, no, no..."
"Disband! Go to the cafeteria to eat!" Lin Qiye waved his hand, and the recruits dispersed.
Fang Mo was about to leave when Lin Qiye stopped him: "Captain Fang, come with me to take care of something later."
She nodded and followed him out of the camp.
The aroma of braised pork wafted from the cafeteria. Su Yuan tugged at Su Zhe's sleeve and said, "Brother, I want two pieces of meat!"
Su Zhe scratched his head: "Okay, I'll give you mine."
The brother and sister chatted and laughed as they ran to the cafeteria. Li Zhenzhen chased after them: "Wait for me! I want two pieces too!"
Under the locust tree outside the camp, Lu Baoyou squatted on the ground with his army green backpack at his feet.
An officer stood before him, frowning. "If I say you're unqualified, you're unqualified. You only ran seven and a half minutes on the physical fitness test. The Demon Suppression Division wants people who can fight monsters, not just those who can catch their breath."
Lu Baoyou raised her head, her face flushed from the sun. "I can do it! I'll train five kilometers every day and do three hundred push-ups. Let me try again!"
The officer sighed: "It's not that I don't allow it, it's the rules..."
"What's going on?" Lin Qiye walked over and Fang Mo followed behind him.
The officer saluted and said, "Captain Lin, this guy was eliminated from the last training camp, and he's here to cause trouble again today."
Lu Baoyou stood up, his shoulders red from the strain of his backpack straps. "Captain Lin, I've read your battle report."
"Last year in Cangwu Mountain, you led the Nightfall Squad to kill thirty Fire Scale Leopards."
"I know I'm stupid, but I can learn..."
His Adam's apple moved.
"My sister was eaten by a monster. I have to... I have to do something."
Lin Qiye didn't say anything and stared at Lu Baoyou's eyes for a while.
Fang Mo took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into Lu Baoyou's mouth: "There's braised pork in the cafeteria, let's go have some first."
Lu Baoyou pinched the candy, her fingers trembling: "I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat whether you are hungry or not." Lin Qiye turned and walked towards the camp.
"Team Fang, take him to the cafeteria." He took two steps and turned back.
"See you on the playground tomorrow morning at five."
Lu Baoyou froze in place. Fang Mo pushed him and said, "Why are you standing there like an idiot? Come on."
The setting sun makes the shadows very long.
Lu Baoyou followed Fang Mo to the cafeteria and slowly loosened her grip on the candy - the candy wrapper was pink with a smiling rabbit printed on it.
He smiled and put the candy in his mouth.
So sweet.
On the road outside the camp, Lin Qiye stroked his chin and said to Wu Hen, "That kid's eyes are quite tough, like a piece of unpolished stone."
Wu Hen held a piece of grass in his mouth and asked, "Are you going to let him try again?"
"Let's try it."
Lin Qiye kicked the stone at his feet and said, "The Demon Suppression Division wants people who can take on responsibilities, not just memorize orders."
Wu Hen was happy: "Okay, tomorrow I'll ask Ah Zhu to cook two more eggs to nourish the newcomers."
The evening breeze blew over with the fragrance of locust flowers, and the noise from the cafeteria came in the distance.
Lu Baoyou stood at the door of the cafeteria, watching the new recruits scrambling for the braised pork, and suddenly felt that the taste was much more fragrant than he remembered.
He touched the candy wrapper in his pocket, turned around and walked towards the playground - it was still early at five o'clock, so he decided to run two laps first.
The shadows of the trees swayed, stretching his shadow out long, like a spear standing straight forward.
