Gao Wu: After holding back for eighteen years, my words are divine.

[The wrong draft was posted at midnight on February 3rd. It has now been replaced with a new one, so please feel free to read it. No filler text. It will be deleted in three days...]

5:50 AM.

As the rules of the Ghost Realm loosened, space began to distort.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and the oppressive, bloody atmosphere of the rain-soaked campus vanished instantly.

Instead, you find the familiar and reassuring interior of the RV.

Because morning exercises ended early, everyone was kicked out of the Ghost Realm 10 minutes earlier than expected.

Not only Jiangnan's original team, but also Yekaterina and Hoshino Hikaru, who were "temporary attachments".

Because they were in a team, they were all teleported into this mobile shelter.

"OMG…"

Ekaterina looked at the luxurious interior of the car.

"In the apocalypse... is it even possible to live in a place like this?"

"Who exactly is this guy? Is he here on vacation?"

Hikaru Hoshino, standing next to her, reacted even more directly.

She touched the sofa with the utmost care, like a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden, a happy smile on her face.

"Hehe...soft...smells good..."

"Is this where I'll be staying from now on?"

"No more sleeping in the mud, no more getting soaked in the rain... This is so wonderful, waaaaah..."

however.

Jiangnan, as the host, ignored the two naive women at this moment.

He sat in the main seat, looking at Chen Tong with a blank expression.

Chen Tong understood immediately and pointed to the monitor screen inside the car, his expression grave:

"Jiangnan, look."

"There's something going on outside."

Jiangnan raised her eyelids and looked at the screen.

It can be clearly seen after being magnified by a high-definition camera.

In the shadow of the teaching building, more than 100 meters away from the RV.

Five fully armed men, dressed in black special forces suits, were furtively hiding behind a pillar, watching them from afar.

Their eyes were wary, and they seemed very apprehensive, hesitating to approach.

"What's going on?"

Liu Yuqing closed the door.

As soon as she got back, she got out of the car to retrieve the tablet from the terminal signal tower, while Guo Shuai, who was responsible for protecting her, returned to the cockpit.

"Who are those guys? They're dressed like ghosts, all black."

Guo Shuai gripped the steering wheel, glanced at the rearview mirror, and complained.

"Although on this island, in a sense, people are more like ghosts than ghosts."

Wang Meng leaned closer to the screen, adjusted his glasses, and immediately saw through the deception.

"Everyone is carrying two red samurai swords on their backs, they must be from the Sakura region."

"They kept staring at our car, but they didn't dare to come over."

Wang Meng chuckled.

"They're definitely worried about the outer coating on our cars."

"After all, that's an S-class, eerie skin, with its own oppressive aura."

Upon hearing the words "Sakura-jin," Hoshino Hikaru, who was immersed in the comfort of the sofa, suddenly looked up.

She glanced at the screen, then did something that surprised everyone.

She took a deep breath, her eyes became incredibly determined, and without hesitation, she switched to "betraying her teammates" mode.

"I know them!"

"During that short one-day intensive training session, I saw these five people! They are the [Thunder Leopard Team]!"

Hoshino Hikaru pointed at the leading man on the screen and spoke rapidly, spilling all the information like beans.

"They are the direct elite subordinates of that village entrance leader... uh, the village entrance leader, Hiroki!"

"Only they are qualified to wear this uniform! The leader of that group is Sergeant Morishita!"

"He looks exactly like that older brother character in our local naval drama, especially fierce!"

"As for superpowers... I don't really know, because they think I'm unsophisticated and never include me in their games."

At this point, Hoshino Hikaru clenched her small fist.

Since my fellow countrymen don't want me!

My friends don't want me either!

Then I'll join the new team! I was born a member of the Chinese team, and I'll die a member of the Chinese team!

Even if they kneel down and beg me, I will absolutely not go back!

snort!

"..."

Everyone was stunned when they saw Hoshino Hikaru suddenly become eloquent and willing to strip his fellow villagers bare in order to stay.

Guo Shuai exclaimed in the driver's seat, "Is this the power of life? It can even turn a socially awkward person into a socially adept one!"

After obtaining the intelligence.

Jiangnan leaned back on the sofa, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"The Thunder Leopard Team?"

"They're so afraid of even a skin peeled off the street; do they deserve to be called elite?"

"Do you think I, the one who personally exposed an S-class monster, would be afraid of these few worthless fry?"

Brush brush.

Jiang Nan took out a notepad from his pocket, wrote a line, tore it off, and stuck it on the table.

Ignore it.

Waiting to see the rankings.

……

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the teaching building.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

Sergeant Morishita only dared to cautiously peek at the enormous black beast out of the corner of his eye.

His back was soaked with cold sweat.

"Damn it..."

"Where did this monster squad come from?"

Sergeant Morishita's voice was trembling.

"They...they actually used S-class, bizarre leather to coat the entire car?!"

"This is too extravagant! This is insane!"

"Yes, team leader."

The teammate next to him, Hideo Ishida, swallowed hard, his eyes filled with horror.

"Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I've heard Mr. Village Head say that the S-class eerie skin has its own rule force field."

"If this were made into a cloak or armor, almost no wild monster on this eerie island would dare to lay a finger on you!"

"Even if it's another S-rank anomaly, you have to think twice about whether you can break through its defenses."

"This is absolutely priceless!"

"But these people... actually made it into car wrap?!"

"What a waste!!"

Sergeant Morishita took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart.

He is a smart man.

It can kill S-class monsters and people who are so extravagant as to own leather-covered cars.

They are definitely not someone that their special forces team, with an average strength of only B-level, can afford to mess with.

"fortunately……"

Sergeant Morishita consoled himself.

"Our primary objective is not them, but to find the real terminal signal towers hidden in the ghost realm."

"Try not to cause any unnecessary trouble."

He turned his head and gave orders to his four team members.

"Now! Let's prepare and replenish our strength on the spot!"

"Eat right here, in front of them!"

"We need to show the people in that car through our actions that we were just passing by, we meant no harm, and we certainly don't want to fight!"

"Hai!!"

The four team members answered in unison.

Then.

This originally aggressive elite squad from the Sakura Kingdom actually sat down cross-legged on the spot.

They pulled out what they called "military rations" from their tactical backpacks.

Although it's called rice, it's actually a "wild grass rice ball" that's a mixture of wild vegetables and some kind of unknown dried meat.

Clearly, their supplies were not as impressive as their equipment; in fact, they were rather meager.

……

Inside the RV.

"Boss."

Wang Meng's lips twitched as he watched the monitor.

"They...sat down to eat."

"What they're eating looks like... grass jelly?"

Jiangnan glanced at the screen and nodded slightly.

A hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

That shows they have some self-awareness.

It seems that Sergeant Morishita, who is in charge, is a clever man who can be both flexible and assertive.

Since the other party was so sensible, he couldn't be bothered to waste bullets to eliminate them.

then.

Jiangnan turned his gaze to the timestamp on the main control panel.
