"Clang! Clang clang!!"

Under the night sky, a string of dense sparks kept popping up as Shen Qing, holding a military knife, struggled to defend against the attack of the A team leader.

Each punch from his opponent carried a shockwave that made his arm go numb.

The gap in equipment was too great, and he had almost no way to fight back. He could only barely hold on with the help of the talismans given to him by the Li siblings.

"clang!"

Another punch sent a shockwave through Shen Qing's arm, and the military knife finally flew out of his hand, landing on the ground more than ten meters away.

Even if you're strong enough to outlast a superhuman wearing an exoskeleton, how can you possibly outlast a battery in terms of endurance?

Shen Qing was panting heavily. He had never been forced to this point even when fighting the zombie. His cultivation time was still too short.

"Are we still going to be eliminated?"

The assessment has been completed beyond his expectations.

Seeing the A team leader charging towards him again with another punch, Shen Qing clenched his fists, ready for one last desperate attempt.

However, the captain suddenly stopped moving, and the thermal imaging night vision device in front of him went out without warning.

Then, snow began to fall on the Gobi Desert.

The captain froze for a moment, forgetting to throw a punch. "What's going on? Where did this snow come from?"

Before he could make any move, another series of ghostly wails rang in his ears, extremely piercing and seemingly affecting his very soul.

He originally intended to hold back and eliminate Shen Qing first.

But suddenly, he was surrounded by a familiar deep blue light, and his movements became even heavier, as if he were sinking into a quagmire.

This made it very easy for Shen Qing to dodge the attacks.

"The Yin Spring!"

"Kagerou!"

A golden flame ripped through the night and crashed down.

The captain was already feeling a bit dizzy, and after being attacked, he staggered back several steps before finally seeing who it was.

"It's you?!"

It was Li Yangzhao and his group who had been hiding before.

Their mission was to deal with Shen Qing, so they didn't take care of the other students first. Unexpectedly, they came back and launched an attack on them.

"Captain, are you alright?"

Li Yangzhao and the others emerged from the darkness and gathered around Shen Qing.

"you?"

Shen Qing didn't have time to think about why they were here.

He immediately seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the fact that the A team leader was not in good condition, tackled him to the ground, and punched him twice.

No matter how powerful you are, wearing an exoskeleton is just a matter of two punches. Not enough? Then bring on two more punches.

White smoke rose, signaling the elimination decision taking effect.

The captain of Squad A lay on his back on the ground, looking at Shen Qing.

"You're very strong...and your teammates haven't given up on you either."

He glanced at Shen Qing, then at Li Yangzhao and the others, who were completely different from the previous trainees.

Even when they team up, disagreements can still arise, and sometimes they abandon their teammates when danger comes.

But this time is really different. If they had known, they wouldn't have been so careless.

That's not right either. They have no way to truly eliminate trainees. They should have considered the possibility of being besieged when they came.

"That's true."

Shen Qing took off his exoskeleton and sat down on the ground, panting.

"That was a really close win."

If this squad didn't rely on equipment, lack innate abilities, and have relatively weak soul strength...

Furthermore, given that they hadn't anticipated the students who had initially run away would return, it wasn't so easy to reverse the situation.

He never expected to be rescued.

They had only known each other for a short time and were not familiar with each other yet. They had no idea that they had already eliminated nine members of this team and taken such a big risk.

Thank you.

Shen Qing looked at Li Yangzhao and the others, and after saying this, he was truly exhausted and lay down on the ground.

"Hey, Captain, don't thank me."

Zheng Dahai walked over with a sweet potato in his mouth and handed him a potato. "If it weren't for you leading us to seize the base, we would have starved to death."

"Captain, I have some cooked ones here."

Li Yangzhao also came over, the flame in his hand went out, and the potatoes that were exposed were still steaming.

His sister followed behind and handed him a bottle of water, then said, "Raw doesn't taste good, here's some water."

Shen Qing took the potatoes and water and took a big gulp.

"By the way, it seems like someone's missing?"

He looked around and saw Zheng Dahai, the Li siblings, and Yang Xu, who was squatting next to the exoskeleton and examining it.

If it weren't for the looks from the members of Team A standing nearby, they probably would have wanted to take a look at it.

"They ran away," Zheng Dahai said casually.

Shen Qing didn't take it seriously; they had only met halfway through the journey.

They rested where they were.

The members of Team A got up from the ground, looking dejected. The captain walked up to Shen Qing.

"I hope to see you when I reach my destination."

After saying that, he left with his team. The mission had failed, so what else could they do but go back?

After resting for more than half an hour, it was almost one o'clock in the morning. The temperature was a bit low, but they were still quite energetic.

"Should we set off tonight?"

Shen Qing suddenly spoke

We've already gone more than halfway; if we delay any longer, who knows what other problems might arise?

They all nodded.

Three hours later, before the sun had even risen, they finally saw the oasis they had been told about.

There is a small hill ahead, and you can already see the woods.

However, at the foot of the mountain, there was a checkpoint with a stronger defense than the outpost.

"No, are you kidding me?"

Shen Qing and the others were dumbfounded.

There were two patrol teams taking turns at the checkpoint, with four light machine guns, not to mention the two off-road vehicles parked next to it.

Miniature radar and thermal imaging are also included.

There was half a company of men guarding the finish line, and they had even dug trenches, which might contain some heavy firepower.

The command center didn't see it either; it's probably hiding inside.

A direct assault is definitely out of the question. Even interfering with electronic devices won't work; the surrounding area is too open, and they'll be spotted immediately, not to mention they'll need to search for the keys.

"Without the ability to become invisible, are you sure you can pass the test?"

Shen Qing was somewhat bewildered.

Previously, at least there was terrain to utilize along the way, but here it's all flat, making even getting close a problem.

"Perhaps we can swim behind them?"

Yang Xu suddenly spoke, and everyone looked towards the great river in the oasis.

Are you sure?

Zheng Dahai's lips twitched involuntarily. "The narrowest part of this river is about four or five kilometers wide."

"Besides, this is the Gobi Desert, and the temperature is only four or five degrees Celsius at dawn. Are you sure you don't want to drown us in the river if we go swimming here?"

It's not that he's a coward.

Rather, they hadn't rested for a day and a night, and were fighting under heavy loads, resulting in enormous physical exhaustion. They were probably even weaker than ordinary people now.

Although they ate something to replenish their energy, a few raw potatoes and sweet potatoes could only fill their stomachs and couldn't restore their strength at all.

Entering the river like this could easily lead to hypothermia, and you might get leg cramps halfway through the swim.

So what if they have supernatural powers? They might become gods or immortals in the future, but right now, they are just ordinary people with extraordinary abilities.

Most people can be taken down with a single shot.

Not to mention they had to go around to the back and fight the soldiers in the trenches to find the key.

Yang Xu pushed up his glasses. "But we can't break through from the front at all, so we can only consider a sneak attack."

Another silence followed.

A cold wind blew in the early morning, and everyone couldn't help but hunch their shoulders.

"I'll give it a try."
