Transformed into Hyper Zetton, the school beauty was terrified in the second playthrough.

Xia Qi felt a mix of emotions upon seeing his childhood playmate again.

Jiang Yihe's family is the main behind-the-scenes sponsor of the orphanage.

Every summer, Jiang Yihe would come to the orphanage to play.

I happened to meet Xia Qi and his deceased partner.

The three of them became good friends, sharing a bed and a bathtub.

Jiang Yihe looked at Xia Qi, who was looking down and not daring to look her in the eye, and sighed: "It's been so long, forget about her. She'll be happy that you've moved on.

Xia Qi kept his head down and said in a deep voice, "Don't you hate me? I accidentally killed her..."

Jiang Yihe walked up to Xia Qi and said softly, "I used to hate you, but I can't hate you anymore."

"People always have to move forward. Just like you standing here now, it means you are ready to embrace your true self."

After saying that, Jiang Yihe patted Xia Qi on the shoulder and walked past her into the distance: "Good luck, we're rivals now. Don't let me beat you to tears on the third day."

"I'm no longer the little girl who cried so easily back then."

Watching Jiang Yihe disappear into the darkness, Xia Qi revealed a relieved smile.

"Perhaps, choosing to start over is the right thing to do."

Xia Qi gazed at the dark night sky in silence for a long time.

Suddenly, her delicate body trembled as she remembered something important.

"oops!"

"I should have asked her for some food!" Xia Qi angrily tapped her head, which hadn't turned around yet.

………………

Meanwhile, in another place where the fire was blazing.

The bonfire was piled up to the height of two people.

Lin Chengfeng and the others sat in a circle around the campfire, each holding a half-eaten energy meat bar.

Luckily, he had a habit of stockpiling dry food, otherwise he would have had to eat that tough and disgusting monster meat.

Xu Hao jumped to the top of a fir tree and gazed into the distance.

Several fires lit up the dark forest.

He glanced at the bracelet's points table.

After a day of hard work, he has reached 120 points and is currently in first place.

"Don't rush, it's still early."

"Let them develop for another day." This was said to the distant firelight, and also to the autopsy worker behind him.

The points earned by a cadaver for dissecting corpses and the points earned by a combatant for killing monsters have never been said to belong to two incompatible categories.

Xu Hao jumped down from the tree and said to everyone with a smile, "If you're tired, just rest where you are. I'll take the night watch tonight."

Taking on heavy work in what seems like a well-intentioned act is actually just a way to protect oneself.

Xu Hao didn't want to be betrayed while he was asleep.

Especially since there's Lin Chengfeng in the team who knows how to use underhanded tricks.

The methods that could defeat Zhao Fengyun could also lead to a great loss if I am careless.

Moreover, the alien core that Xu Hao absorbed was very powerful in terms of mental strength, allowing him to stay awake for a whole month without closing his eyes.

For him, keeping watch at night was just a matter of spacing out.

After he spoke, the autopsies, whose legs were numb and bodies were exhausted, felt relieved and went to sleep on the ground.

The other two combatants each slept on one side, in a position far away from the group.

Lin Chengfeng appeared to have fallen asleep with the crowd, but his senses were already at their maximum.

He would immediately transform at the slightest hint of malice or murderous intent; he wouldn't dare gamble with his life.

Looking at the sleeping crowd, Xu Hao sneered inwardly: "Ha, a bunch of unsuspecting fools who unconditionally believe the slightest bit of kindness shown to them."

"Look, this is the mark of a strong person. You, a treacherous villain, will never reach this position!" Xu Hao shouted proudly in his heart as he looked at Lin Chengfeng with his eyes closed.

…………

Another layer of dark clouds has appeared in the sky.

Occasionally, screams echoed through the Death Jungle, and it was obvious that the monsters had found the lone students.

At this moment, inside a cave.

Five men in black robes formed a semi-circle, all looking at a man wearing a yellow robe.

They wore identical badges on their chests, featuring a black crown of thorns.

This is the symbol of the imperial organization.

"Alright, everyone's here." The yellow-robed team leader glanced at the five people and said, "According to information leaked by the mole, a group of kids who claim to be the future of Longyuan Base City have come to this Death Jungle for training."

"Those old guys in Longyuan Base City haven't been equipped with cameras to track us yet. We've been ordered to come and kill these kids, including five of them, to be captured alive."

Having said that, the man in the yellow robe waved his hand.

Five portrait photos drifted to the ground.

They are Xu Hao, Teng Qianfan, Cheng Bo, Jiang Yihe, and Gu Wanxue, the five seeded players.

"The firelight in the darkness has greatly narrowed our search area. Remember their appearance, and if there are no problems, let's set off."

"Understood!" the five members in black robes shouted in unison.

He then turned and left the cave, disappearing into the night.

After they left, the Yellow Robe Dawn organization produced another photograph.

The image above prominently features a headshot of Lin Chengfeng.

"A corpse dismantler who can instantly kill a B-level combatant? And without any alien nucleus reaction..."

"Hehe, although it has little value in terms of status, its research value is quite high." The man in the yellow robe put away the photo and disappeared into the cave in a flash.

…………

It was late at night, 3 a.m.

"Tsk, not a single monster comes here, even though the firelight is bigger than anywhere else," Xu Hao, sitting on a tree branch, clicked his tongue.

He was even thinking of hunting two monsters to relieve his boredom.

Six hours have passed, and Lin Chengfeng is still awake, remaining highly vigilant.

He once stayed up all night for six consecutive months, and now even without restraint, he can't feel sleepy.

"No way, it'll be dawn in a few hours. How come no one has launched a sneak attack under the cover of darkness?" Lin Chengfeng wondered.

Some heteronuclear powers are adept at operating at night and possess built-in night vision.

Logically speaking, the current favorable timing and location should be the perfect opportunity for this type of person to make the most of their abilities.

Even if they don't have night vision capabilities, they should have night vision goggles or similar devices to assist them, right?

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly sensed a strong killing intent approaching and immediately opened one eye.

Xu Hao, perched in the tree, also sensed something amiss and shouted into the darkness beyond the reach of the firelight, "Who?!"

"Sneaking around like that, get out here right now!"

His shouts woke up two combatants and some of the autopsies.

Seeing Xu Hao gripping his greatsword and looking warily at a certain spot, the other two combatants immediately tensed up and looked in the same direction as him.

The conscious autopsy worker quickly woke up the still unconscious autopsy worker.

Lin Chengfeng sat up and squinted at the darkness, where a figure vaguely appeared.

"Wow, they're quite vigilant. No wonder they're the future of Longyuan Base City."

The person arrived before the voice.

Several autopsies quickly stuffed some dry straw and firewood into the fire.

The flames suddenly expanded considerably.

The illuminated area expanded rapidly.

The firelight just illuminated a man in black robes standing quietly ten meters away.

The moment Lin Chengfeng saw the black thorn crown on the black-robed man's chest, his pupils dilated sharply.

Recalling the Monarchist members in black robes I encountered in the underground mine yesterday, I noticed that their badges were exactly the same as the black-robed man before me.

"The Emperor Organization? What are they doing here?!" Lin Chengfeng wondered.
