Chapter 10

The burly officer seemed to feel no remorse for his actions, saying, "They are all going to the battlefield in the future. Enemies on the battlefield never show them any courtesy. If they can't even adapt to this, won't they just be going to their deaths after graduation?"

The young staff officer felt it necessary to remind his superior, gently saying, "Colonel, some of them probably won't be going to the battlefield."

"Is that so? How come I don't know that?" the colonel sneered.

The staff officer felt he couldn't continue and could only awkwardly say, "Well... maybe I remembered wrong."

The colonel suddenly said, "If you knew who else would be coming for this exam, you probably wouldn't say that."

"Someone else?"

The colonel pointed to the sky and said calmly, "Someone from over there."

The staff officer was taken aback, "Tianchao? Why would they suddenly come over? Is it an evaluation?"

"Evaluation, inspection, observation, or maybe just to find fault, or perhaps just to come down and play around. Who knows? But does it matter?"

The staff officer showed a hint of nervousness, "What should we do? Should we inform our people?"

"The other side has requested absolute secrecy. Besides, if you knew who was coming, you would realize that it doesn't matter whether we inform them or not."

"Who is it?" The staff officer was full of curiosity. He also knew that there weren't many people who could make the colonel feel helpless.

The colonel remained silent.

"Colonel, if we lose too badly, won't it also tarnish your reputation?"

The colonel's expression finally changed, and he said helplessly, "My reputation, Meng Jianghu, has long been tarnished."

"That's not how it is! I'll join the fight and take those troublemakers to give it a good battle!"

Meng Jianghu just glanced at him.

The staff officer became a bit anxious and said, "Colonel, I, Qin Yi, have been on the battlefield, and I'm not someone to be underestimated. I was the top graduate of my year. With those troublemakers, we definitely won't let you down!"

Meng Jianghu snorted and said, "Definitely won't let you down? That's a bit premature. You were the top graduate, and so was he, but he was the top graduate of Zhi Ge Academy."

"Zhi Ge Academy!" Qin Yi drew a sharp breath, all his arrogance flying out the window.

Meng Jianghu looked at him deeply and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, it's a woman."

Qin Yi immediately laughed awkwardly, "A woman! Then forget it, it wouldn't be honorable, it wouldn't be honorable, hahaha!"

"You said those troublemakers should be able to live up to their name. Otherwise... you should know."

Qin Yi seemed ready to agree, but then he wasn't so confident anymore.

"Is she coming alone?"

"Of course not. She also brought five Tian Ji guards. Do you have any other ideas?"

Qin Yi honestly said, "No, I have nothing now."

In the forest, Chu Jun Gui was crouching, leaping from one tree to another. As he ran, a sudden electric bullet came from the side. He stopped as if he had foreseen it, and the bullet grazed past him, hitting the tree trunk and leaving a trail of electric sparks.

He leaped up and instantly disappeared into the treetops.

"There's actually someone here, and I was seen," Chu Jun Gui thought helplessly.

The valley wasn't very large, and the airdropped soldiers were not weak in physical strength or speed, with a variety of tactics. Some roamed around, actively hunting. Others quickly found advantageous terrain to ambush. Some hid as soon as they landed, remaining motionless, waiting for someone to pass by their gun sights.

Whether they would have any achievements was entirely up to fate.

Since Chu Jun Gui knew these soldiers were actually here for practical training, he naturally didn't want to get involved and wanted to leave the battlefield. But he unexpectedly encountered a sneaky guy who had hidden upon landing, almost getting hit.

The electric bullet had considerable power, and even as an experimental subject, Chu Jun Gui had no interest in getting hit. Almost being hit made a boiling emotion rise in his heart. In human terms, this was called anger.

Not far away, in a patch of tall grass, a slightly plump, round soldier was completely covered in leaves, almost perfectly camouflaged, with only his gun barrel and eyes exposed. He was now rubbing his eyes, looking at the front in disbelief. He had clearly seen a figure, but it had vanished in an instant. Was he seeing things?

Just as he was puzzled, Chu Jun Gui descended from the sky, landing heavily on him.

The hidden soldier hadn't even caught his breath when an electric bullet hit the weak spot on the back of his neck. The intense current instantly made him jump up and then fall, unconscious.

Chu Jun Gui looked around, his eyes turning cold, knowing that he couldn't leave the battlefield without fighting his way out.

"If that's the case, then you won't get your evaluation scores," he thought to himself. Chu Jun Gui slung the heavy machine gun on his back, picked up the assault rifle, and loaded it with electric bullets.

Hunting in the jungle required considerable skill and a bit of luck. One had to discover the opponent's movements from subtle clues, judge their patterns, choose the right strategy, and then perform well in the moment. After all, hitting the chest or the foot made a huge difference.

These were the basic hunting and wilderness battlefield contents from survival training materials. But in such a survival battlefield, with many opponents and rapidly changing situations, how could one follow the steps in the survival manual?

Discovering the target was the most important.

Chu Jun Gui picked up a stone and gently tapped the tree trunk. Thump, thump, thump, low-frequency sound waves spread out and reflected back. At the same time, Chu Jun Gui placed his hand on the ground, collecting and analyzing various vibrations. In an instant, the obstacles like tree trunks and boulders in his field of vision gradually became transparent, revealing two figures hiding behind them.

Chu Jun Gui didn't hesitate, aiming his gun at a guy hiding behind a nearby tree.

The soldier behind the tree looked up, gesturing to a nearby pile of rocks and pointing in the direction of the tapping sound, indicating that someone was there.

A soldier hidden in the rock pile had a carefree expression, holding a rifle switched to sniper mode. He gestured back and mouthed, "I'll keep an eye on him. Be careful."

The soldier behind the tree drew a circle with his hand, indicating, "I'll circle around and give him a surprise. You know I like close combat."

The soldier in the rock pile shrugged and said, "Do as you please, I'll cover you. But don't mess up, if you don't make the top ten, it will be embarrassing."

"When have we ever had a problem working together?" The soldier behind the tree was very confident. He drew his pistol and stood up.

At that moment, gunshots rang out.

A series of electric bullets hit the tree trunk, splashing electric plasma everywhere! Although the electric bullets had little penetration power, the hollow trees here were not sturdy. Several consecutive bullets almost hit the same spot, quickly piercing through the tree trunk. The last electric bullet broke through the tree and hit the soldier's helmet.

He tilted his head and was instantly jolted by the strong current, falling unconscious.

"Is this possible?" The soldier in the rock pile was stunned.

He rolled over and slowly poked his head out to observe the opponent's position. But just as his head appeared, a bullet flew through the air and hit the top of his helmet.

As the electric light exploded, he thought only, "How did he see me?!"

Chu Jun Gui moved through the forest like a ghost, constantly tapping the tree trunks or rocks around him. In his field of vision, the battlefield had almost become transparent. No matter what the opponents were hiding behind, they couldn't escape his eyes. As soon as they showed themselves, they were taken down with a single shot.

After a short while, Chu Jun Gui realized that the battlefield composite imaging technology version 0.8c was particularly useful. The airdropped soldiers seemed not very smart. Did they think that hiding behind rocks or tree trunks would make them invisible?

This was a survival battlefield, and these guys were destined to be eliminated.

Chu Jun Gui raised his gun and knocked out a guy hiding in the bushes. This guy seemed to have been lying there for a long time, not moving since he landed, and had no achievements yet.

On the transport ship, Qin Yi suddenly exclaimed, "This area is almost cleared out, so quickly! There must be a very capable person, could it be her?"

Meng Jianghu looked at the red dots appearing one after another on the screen, his pupils constricting, and said, "It's possible."

His voice carried a hint of disappointment. No matter how strong the opponent, seeing his students being taken down one by one, as a trainer, he still felt bad.

"Should we send a drone to check?" Qin Yi suggested.

"No. The people from the other side won't like being observed," Meng Jianghu immediately rejected.

Chu Jun Gui stood next to a fallen soldier, using his foot to turn the body over. To his surprise, it was a very delicate girl. The standard combat uniform couldn't completely hide her impressive figure. Her small face was slightly contorted in pain, clearly still feeling the aftereffects of the electric shock.

"A bit troublesome," was Chu Jun Gui's evaluation of her.

This young female soldier had a seasoned and calm demeanor that didn't match her appearance. She had even detected Chu Jun Gui's presence and maintained her position throughout. Her choice of position was also very strategic, with natural protection on both sides, making it difficult for anyone to attack her without appearing in her field of vision and range.

Unfortunately, Chu Jun Gui had the ability to use active sonar, seeing through the tree to her position and directly blasting through it.

After eliminating this young female soldier, there seemed to be no more airdropped soldiers nearby. Chu Jun Gui searched her for a few magazines, replenished his ammunition, and moved on to the next area.

Not far away, he suddenly stopped, capturing an extremely subtle sound wave.

This frequency was inaudible to ordinary people and was commonly used by some active individual detection devices.

"There's a big guy!" Chu Jun Gui instantly made a judgment.

So far, the airdropped soldiers he had encountered had not been equipped with active ultrasonic detection devices. Now, suddenly encountering one with a detection device, it was clear that this person had a special identity.
