562: It's better to come early than to come at a good time
The sky of the barren planet is always gray, and it is rare to see the blue sky and white clouds, and I don't feel how it is for a short time, but after staying for a long time, there will be an indescribable feeling of depression, as if a weight is not light or heavy on the chest, and the longer the time, the more suffocating.

At night, the temperature drops dramatically, and visibility is frighteningly low.
Thanks to Li Xuan's amazing eyesight, even in this environment, he can see extremely far away, otherwise a group of people will be blind.
"Li Xuan, do you want one?" He was keeping watch for the night with all his boredom, and the footsteps of his companions came from behind him.
According to the normal trajectory of development, Li Xuan should also be a gloomy and angry young man who is not taboo in meat and vegetables, likes to smoke and drink, and is full of malice, but the appearance of Zhong Sun Yuan has forcibly reversed his life, including some insignificant little habits......
"I'm not a smokerβ" He waved his hand at his companion, his usually clean face was grayish, his eyes were covered with fine bloodshots, and the bags under his eyes were thick, and he could tell at a glance how tired he was now. Li Xuan thanked the people for their kindness and continued to guard the entrance of the cave.
"Let's take a little pick-me-up, there's just a little bit of good stuff around me. Who knows if they'll survive after dawn......"
The one who spoke was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a slightly deeper outline, who looked like a student in the fourth or fifth grade of the Federation.
However, Li Xuan knew very well that the actual age of the kid in front of him was younger than him, and he had just passed his nineteenth birthday this year, but he was tall, with slender limbs, and broad shoulders and a narrow waist, so he looked more mature than his actual age, and he was still a minor in nature.
Li Xuan looked at a cigarette handed by the other party in a tangled way, hesitated for a while but took it, lit the fire and put it in his mouth, because he had little experience, he only took two puffs and almost choked. Coughing for a while, the bitterness in the throat slowly pressed down.
"Ahem--where did you get this cigarette, the smell is really choking......"
Li Xuan also has some smoking age, but since he embarked on the road of physical cultivation, his body has been further improved, and his five senses have been greatly improved, he has rarely been exposed to this kind of thing that is easy to cause irritation. Of course, this is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is Zhongsun Yuan.
"This cigarette is hard to buy in the market and is a specialty of our planet. Because there is one main ingredient that is only available in a few specific places, the annual production is not large. I happen to have a plantation at home, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to draw it......"
ββ¦β¦ But I remember that before the survival training began, there would be restrictions on what students could carry?How did you bring this thing in......" Li Xuan felt choking at first, but after a little relief, he got used to the smell of smoke.
He smashed his mouth, and some understood why this cigarette could become a limited specialty cigarette? The taste is indeed unique.
The boy looked very embarrassed, his left sleeve was half broken, and his clothes were mixed with blackened blood and dirt, as well as several tears. There was a wound about 10 centimeters long on his arm, which was wrapped in heavy gauze.
If Li Xuan hadn't blocked it at a critical moment, I'm afraid it wouldn't just be a matter of such a wound, at least one arm would have to be lost.
"Of course it's smuggling, I heard that the military academy has quite strict restrictions on students' lives, and I don't have high requirements, but this thing can't be left for a day. The young man shook the cigarette box in his hand and complained with a bitter face, "Actually, I didn't expect to go to the federal military academy at first, but I couldn't stand the urging of my family and came over to have a good time...... I didn't expect to be admitted by mistake......"
Li Xuan thought back to the boy's planet of origin, and understood why this kid was not very old, but his smoking age was so impressive.
However, the military academy has a strict set of rules and regulations, and the style of life during the school is controlled, and smoking and drinking are illegal behaviors. It's okay if you don't find it, but if you find out, you have to be scored, and for this, the teenager doesn't want to be admitted.
"Then you're going to have to take it. Although the military school is not as strict as the outside world rumors, smoking and alcohol are prohibited during the study, and the rules can only be relaxed a little during the holidays. This rule is indeed cruel to a teenager who never leaves his cigarette every day.
Li Xuan said with a smile, and after hearing this, the young man pursed his lips tightly and said obscurely, "The question is...... Will we survive that day?"
"Of course......" In the darkness, Li Xuan looked sideways at the young man's hanging head and said in a low voice, "We will survive." β
The boy took a deep puff of his cigarette, and in the darkness, the little orange light turned from dark to bright, "But I don't have much confidence......
Li Xuan was silent for a moment when he heard this, he understood why the young man's thoughts were so pessimistic. In the depths of the cave they were guarding, there were already two students lying on the ground, hovering on the edge of life and death, like candles in the wind, and they didn't know when they would be extinguished.
"Students who will survive, who can be admitted to the federal military academy, will never stop here. Li Xuan looked into the distance, the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out, he directly pressed it to the ground until it was completely extinguished, "It's more thrilling than this, I've also experienced it." β
I heard the teenager say that he regretted coming to the entrance exam of the federal military academy, regretted being admitted, and regretted participating in this survival training test......
Li Xuan sighed deeply, but he couldn't say anything to cheer up the other party, because in this kind of precarious time, no matter what he said, it seemed so futile. He pursed his lips, his brain racing, thinking of all possible ways out.
The result of his thinking was frustrating, there was a threat on the outside, but there were also weaknesses on the inside. He discovered this during the daytime battle. Sadly, Li Xuan couldn't say it at such a time, unless he really didn't have a brain.
After being sent to the barren planet, he met several students one after another, and after some negotiations, decided to make a temporary alliance.
Those were simple students, and he quickly got the news he wanted with a few simple words.
These students...... Including the teenager in front of him, according to his set of admission standards back then, he would definitely be brushed down, but after the military academy changed the admission rules, they stepped on the bottom line and were admitted...... Then, with that comes the inevitable hidden dangers.
There are more students admitted, but the overall quality is the lowest in history, or since the reform, the first class is not as good as the one...... The most obvious aspect is their adaptability to the 15-day survival training and their ability to respond to crises.
If the students of Li Xuan's class were attacked during the day, although they would be injured, they would definitely not even have the strength to fight back.
After listening to the young man's desperate chatter, Li Xuan took out a bottle of cool mineral water from the space items, and poured it down, the whole person couldn't help but feel excited, and his mind became more sober, "Do you drink, the vigil is a very tiring job, and you can't be sleepy." β
The boy originally wanted to take it, but when he touched the temperature of the bottle, he shook his head and refused.
The temperature of the barren planet is changeable, and sometimes the night can be so cold that it turns into ice, and it is too late to keep warm, where will you masochize and drink ice water?
"I think it's safe now, why don't you go and rest for a while, and I'll guard here?" The young man felt that it was not good to refuse Li Xuan's kindness, but he really didn't want to drink such cold water, so he simply changed the topic, "So as not to be too tired and affect your strength." β
Li Xuan was the strongest in their group, and no one questioned this at all, and the melee in the afternoon also confirmed this.
To put it mildly, if Li Xuan hadn't happened to join their team, maybe their entire team would have died in the afternoon raid!
It is easy to get tired at night, and the lack of rest will also affect the combat state, if Li Xuan, the backbone, is not strong, the result will be bad.
"It's okay, I can hold on. Li Xuan said lightly, as a physical cultivator, even if he doesn't sleep for three or five days, he can be in good spirits, and the vigil is still an easy job for him. Not to mention this, the federal military academy also has physical training specifically for this aspect.
He wasn't hurt much during the day, and he was fine all night, but it was the student in front of him who hadn't been affected much that needed to rest.
"I have a special contact with the reinforcements, and I need to contact them in real time, if I go to sleep, it will be miserable if I accidentally miss it. β
The reinforcements in Li Xuan's mouth were naturally Zhong Sun Yuan and the mission team she was in, and even though Zhong Sun Yuan was not the captain, he also believed that she had the ability to drag them all over. As long as reinforcements arrive, at least the lives of all the students in the cave can be guaranteed.
"Reinforcements ......" the boy muttered in a low voice, but he didn't hold out much hope, or he didn't believe in reinforcements at all.
Their biggest reliance is the natural brain, and the contract signed before the survival training also clearly stated that the natural brain will ensure the safety of every student, so that they can have no worries. And they believed it so much that they ended up being caught off guard.
Heavenly Brain can't guarantee safety, and the so-called reinforcements are not available at all in his opinion.
As he was talking, there was a sudden commotion in the cave behind him, the sound of messy and hurried footsteps approaching, and at the same time, a girl's panicked and crying voice sounded, "Oh no, Hyde, he- can anyone save him-"
Hyde? Isn't that one of the students who was seriously injured and unconscious? Li Xuan's heart froze, and ominous thoughts spontaneously arose.
"I'll ......go in and take a look," Li Xuan didn't finish his words, and countless pairs of faint green fireflies faintly appeared from the far end of his vision...... No, that's not Firefly...... He was so shocked that he took a step back and swallowed back the unfinished words, "Shout all the students, enemy attack!"
Everyone shuddered, and couldn't help but think of the hordes of giant gray wolves during the day......
"Li, Li Xuan...... You're right...... They've come here?" the boy shuddered, and the cigarette in his fingertips fell to the ground.
"There is still some distance, but according to their speed, they can reach it in two minutes at the earliest, let's retreat quickly!" At the foot of the mountain, as far as the eye can see, there are countless wolves! Thinking of their terrifying lethality, Li Xuan also spoke with a little trembling.
However, his judgment was only for the ordinary gray wolf, and the head wolf was not within this standard range. In a direction he didn't care, a huge white figure jumped up the steep cliff like a leaping white lightning bolt.
"Whew-"
A deafening wolf howl came from above his head, Li Xuan was retreating with a wounded man on his back, and as soon as he raised his head when he heard this sound, the head wolf with amazing bouncing power actually rushed directly at him! And at the moment when he was stunned, the sharp claws were already close.
At the most critical moment, the white light broke through the sky, "livestock!" (to be continued.) )
