Ax huffed back to his dorm.

Qiuqiu was still laughing in his consciousness: "Hahaha...... What a girl paper with a personality...... Oh, Ax, you really don't have to be so angry! If you want me to say, the girls who have to live around you should be angry! ”

——Standing next to the little prince, the big beauty becomes an ordinary, ordinary, good-looking...... I'm sorry, but it may become transparent, the kind of transparency that others can't see!

Akers ignored Qiuqiu's teasing, he ran upstairs and decided to call Xiao Zhengtai first - he would get up before five o'clock tomorrow, so he would probably go to bed earlier than Xiao Zhengtai tonight.

After the communication connection, the holographic screen revealed Xiao Zhengtai's white and tender little face, although the face was expressionless, but it looked very cute.

"Is Yangyang well-behaved today?" Akers reached out and "touched" the little one's head.

Xiao Zhengtai nodded lightly, he was holding his spiritual body little wolf cub in his arms, and the round little furball was stretching out his claws to reach Ax's hand, but his legs were too short to reach, and he screamed anxiously.

Akers handed it his hand, and the little wolf cub immediately pounced, but unfortunately the hologram was virtual after all, and it didn't pounce on the actual object, and looked at Akers with a confused face, and then at the little master.

Chen Xu hugged it back into his arms - he, like Miao'er, didn't like the feeling of seeing it but not touching it at all......

However, he did not show it in front of Ax, but gently stroked the little wolf cub to soothe its emotions.

Akers looked at the well-behaved little Zhengtai, his heart was even softer, and he said softly: "Yangyang wants to listen to Mr. Gray at home." ”

Chen Jing and Lin Zexi are not in Syst, Akers and Xiaolin are in school again, Xiao Zhengtai is alone at home, and although Mr. Gray is thoughtful and gentle, he can't completely replace Chen Jing and Ax.

Speaking of Mr. Gray, Mr. Gray is really by Chen Xu's side.

In order to show Akers that he would listen to Mr. Gray, Xiao Zhengtai deliberately turned the holographic screen to Mr. Gray's side, and asked Mr. Butler to testify to him.

Mr. Gray was very powerful, and immediately understood what the little master meant, and immediately said to Ax: "Young Master Xu is also very well-behaved today, I ate grilled salmon with corn and rice for dinner, and egg custard, and Young Master Xu has eaten it all." ”

Hearing this, Akes immediately smiled, and reached out to touch Xiao Zhengtai's head as a sign of praise.

Mr. Gray saw that Akers was actually more tired, and he also remembered their itinerary the day after tomorrow, so he tactfully reminded Xiao Zhengtai: "Young Master Xu, it's time for you to take a bath." ”

Although the little one was a little reluctant, he still said goodbye to Akers, and then let the little wolf cub play in the room, and ran to take a bath by himself.

Mr. Gray was waiting for him in his room when the terminal communication prompt rang.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you need to rest earlier." Mr. Gray answered and said to the people in the holographic screen.

Ax smiled and said, "I'm going to take a shower and sleep right away...... I just forgot to tell Yang Yang that I am afraid that I will not be able to call him tomorrow night, and during the simulated combat training, it is said that only a special signal can contact the instructor and the first aid team. ”

Mr. Gray nodded to show that he understood what Acers meant: "Don't worry, when Young Master Xu comes out, I will convey it on my behalf, I believe that Young Master Xu will not blame His Highness." ”

After chatting a few more words about Xiao Zhengtai, Axes suddenly thought of something and asked Mr. Gray: "Does the general have any new news sent back to the Marshal's Mansion?" ”

It has been almost two weeks since Chen Jing went to Planet Nerde in the Fifth Star Region, and he and Ax still maintained at least one communication a day at the beginning, but these days are relatively less frequent.

A few days ago, Chen Jing told Axes that they were about to enter Nerde's deep sea area, and the signal was probably not very good, but let Akers not worry.

Chen Jing couldn't be contacted, so Axes wanted to ask Mr. Gray to see if he had any news from Chen Jing.

"Not yet, but the news from the military is normal, and if there is any emergency, the Marshal's Office will be notified first, so you don't have to worry." Mr. Gray comforted Ax.

At this time, Axes already knew that Chen Jing and the others were going to visit Nerde, and the visit was no one else, it was the special inhabitants located in the deep sea of Nerd, the mermaid tribe.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The merfolk are very small in number in the entire federation, and they are probably not as large as the population of the Olbid District.

But this race is a very strong fighting nation, and the mermaid sentry's individual combat ability is one to two times stronger than that of the sentry on land, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miniature biological mecha.

Even human submarines are not indestructible in front of them.

They can be said to be the kings of the water!

The merfolk live on three sea-filled planets in the Fifth Star Zone, and the merfolk on the planet Nerde are the most powerful, which can be regarded as their royal family.

Just as Samuel has an Ebubi crystal that is excellent for spiritual power, Carter has a mineral star rich in Quikin...... In the star field of the Federation, there are also very precious ore resources, hidden in the deep sea where these mermaids live.

Nerd Crystalline Iron - the hardest substance ever discovered in the A galaxy, widely used in warships and mechs.

The federal government has a long-standing relationship with the Merfolk of Ned.

With the consent of the merfolk, humans mined the Nerder crystal iron in the deep sea of Nerder and the other two planets, and in turn provided advanced technology, medical treatment, and other materials to the merfolk tribe.

The two sides have coexisted peacefully in this form of mutual benefit for 200 years, and although there will be some minor frictions and problems during this period, they are generally relatively harmonious.

The reason why Chen Jing wanted to go to the Fifth Star Region this time was because there was a small-scale riot in the mermaid clan of Nerde.

There are merfolk who oppose cooperation with humans and attack the human army operating in the waters of Nerd and the mining teams under their protection, causing huge casualties and losses.

Of course, such a horrific incident was not made public to the public, and the government suppressed the news, claiming only that the marshal had gone to Nerder for a routine visit and consultation, to discuss with the merfolk the plan for cooperation between the two sides for the next ten years.

Of course, Chen Jing couldn't take out such a thing and tell Arkes about it, so that he was worried, even Mr. Gray, he didn't fully tell the details.

Lin Zexi and Hai En also kept silent about Xiao Lin, and pretended to promise him lightly that they would bring them souvenirs when they returned from the Fifth Star Zone.

……

While Axes was preparing for the next day's simulated battle, Chen Jing and the others had already arrived in Nerde and had several meetings with the representatives of the merfolk in the public area.

On the one hand, the impact of previous attacks on both sides will be discussed, and on the other hand, how to deal with the remaining rebels in the future.

This is not only a contradiction within the mermaid race, but also a contradiction between humans and the mermaid race...... The slightest mistake can make a huge difference!

After another round of meetings, the representatives of the merfolk returned to the gathering place, but Chen Jing did not leave immediately, but sat on a chair and closed his eyes.

Lin Zexi noticed the tiredness on his face, and asked softly: "General, do you want to go back to your room to rest first, and I will ask someone to bring dinner to your room." ”

Chen Jing slowly opened his eyes, and instead of answering Dalin's words, he asked instead: "How is the progress of the search team in the sea, has the missing submarine been found?" ”

"Not yet," Lin Zexi replied after clicking on his terminal query: "The search team has already searched for Area 11 and Area 12, and is currently preparing to move to Area 13 and Area 14. ”

"In any case, the missing submarine must be found first...... "Even if it is a wreckage, it must be found!"

"The rebel merfolk's behavior this time is really too bad, but the merfolk on Nerde's side have been shirking and evading, and they have no intention of assisting us in finding and investigating, you see, do you want to ...... "further pressure?"

"It's useless, in their opinion, even if it's a rebel, it's the same kind, we're a foreigner, they won't give any help, we can only rely on ourselves." Hain said helplessly.

In this respect, the merfolk are completely different from humans.

When there is a civil strife, human beings sometimes do not hesitate to join forces with foreign races in order to deal with humans of the same race......

"There's no point in continuing to talk about it like this, our search team will speed up, and we'll talk about the rest when we get back to Sist." Chen Jing instructed Lin Zexi.

"Okay, General."

After saying this, Chen Jing stood up and walked outside, and Hai En and Lin Zexi immediately followed—they spent another whole day in the conference room, and they didn't even have time to eat.

"Would you like to get in touch with His Highness Ax?" Lin Zexi suggested.

Chen Jing thought about it for a while, but still shook his head - with his current state, let Akers see it, the other party will definitely be more worried.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ax, who didn't know that his general was afraid of delaying his return, got up early after a good night's sleep.

At half-past five to meet at Entrance 6 of Mount Sardington, time was still very short.

He was afraid that he would make a mistake if he forgot to bring something, so he checked the list on his terminal before setting off, counted all the necessary equipment, and felt that there was no problem, so he went out full of energy.

When he arrived at the rendezvous point, it was only a quarter past five, and Ax looked far away and saw that someone had arrived before him.

"Good morning, Captain!" Akes deliberately did not call the other party's name, but greeted his "boss" for the next two days in a relaxed and pleasant tone.

Dominica also replied with a "good morning", she opened her backpack and was checking it, reminding Arkes, "Take a look at your stuff again." ”

Although he had already done this before going out, Akers was a very disciplined good boy, and since Dominica was the leader of their team, he naturally had to listen to her.

So I opened my bag and did another count.

At half past five, there were still only two of them in the team, and the other four girls did not show up on time.

It wasn't until almost 5:40 that they came together slowly, and it seemed that they hadn't woken up yet.

originally thought that there would be a conflict between the two sides, and Ax was ready to be a peacemaker, who knew that Dominica just had a bad face, but she didn't say anything reprimanding, but directly asked them to check each other again, whether the things were all ready.

Maybe it was because they came late, they were already a little weak-hearted, and Dominica's tone was not bad, the four girls did not complain or refuse this time, and honestly began to check each other.

As it turned out, Dominica's fears were quite right, and sure enough, two girls living in the same dormitory had a set of important first-aid medicines in the refrigerator in the dormitory and forgot to take them.

Lilith looked at the time on the terminal and said to them, "It's almost time to leave, it's better to go back, we have these things on us anyway, you don't have to go back to get them, maybe you won't need them." ”

As if she hadn't heard her, Dominica asked at least one of the two girls to go back to the dormitory immediately to get it: "Accidents can happen at any time, in case of an emergency, the rest of us are not around, you don't have first aid medicine, it's very dangerous." ”

"How can there be so many accidents, don't curse us!" Lilith said dissatisfied.

But her roommate Grace was more cautious and felt that Dominica's words made sense, so she grabbed Lilith and persuaded the other two girls: "Of course we don't want accidents, but it's always good to plan ahead, and it should be too late to go back now, Michelle, you run faster, or you work harder, go back." ”

The girl named Michelle nodded and ran to the girls' dormitory.

Seeing that Grace was also helping Dominica speak, Lilith could only suppress her temper and muttered: "What a big deal, it's great to be the captain, and the system doesn't know how to be random!" ”

With such a small episode, most people were still glad that they had gathered in advance - if it was really as said before, gathering at 5:50, it would definitely be too late to go back and pick up things.

When Michelle came back with her things, they rested for a few minutes, and then at six o'clock, they went to the teacher waiting at the entrance to register the information of the team members, and began to enter the Sardington Hill.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the same entrance, there were more than 20 teams from other specialties.

Although Olbi National University is a comprehensive university, it specializes in science and engineering, and the ratio of male to female students is about 2 to 1, so it is very normal for more than half of the team to have male students.

Looking at it, there are not many teams with more girls like them, and there is only one team full of guides, which is easy to attract everyone's attention.

"Look at it, look at what you see!" Lilith glanced disdainfully at the person who was peeking at them next to her—it was an all-boy team.

Grace patted her arm gently to soothe her, but her heart was a little anxious.

- This seems to be a serious situation...... The number of tasks is fixed, and others will definitely not show mercy in order to score as many points as possible, how can they compare with these tall boys and even sentinels?

She entered the school with the first grade in her grade, and she is very confident in her future results in various subjects, but it does not include military training results.

The pride in her heart made her determined that even if she was in military training, she could not get a low score.

So she tried her best to do a good job in the previous physical training, and she insisted on hiking and training, and she didn't take a car at all.

But if it is really in the last link, the whole group can't get a good grade judgment, and the score will definitely not be high, and the result will still be just as miserable.

As it turned out, they were at a real disadvantage in terms of physical strength.

Less than two hours after the start of the simulated actual battle, they were already far behind by the large army - everyone rushed to do the mission!

Looking at the winding mountain road, the girls looked at each other, and when they wanted to catch up, they were stopped by Dominica.

"You don't have to chase, you can't catch up."

When Lilith heard this, she immediately exploded: "What do you mean by not being able to catch up?" We haven't even tried it yet, so you pour cold water on it! Isn't this to destroy one's own prestige and grow the morale of others? ”

It was probably Dominica's tone that made Grace a little angry, and this time she didn't stop Lilith from speaking, and the two sides looked immediately tense.

Dominica ignored Lilith as she opened the terminal and handed out a marked map to her teammates.

Everyone opened their terminals in confusion and looked at it, and Grace said in surprise: "This is ......"

"This is the map we will use next," Dominica explained directly: "When they compete for the task ahead, there will be some teams who will give up competing with the strongest team and speed up, if we don't have enough physical strength, then even if we catch up with the first echelon, there will be the second echelon and the third echelon waiting for us at the mission location of the first class, which is too difficult." ”

"So...... So you've made a new route plan that allows us to bypass the previous shift and go straight to the mission location that we might encounter tomorrow. ”

"That's right," Dominica nodded, "we keep the right pace today, we don't have to rush to do any tasks, and we go straight to tomorrow's trip, they are competing for the day, and they are behind us to reach our destination, so they won't have much energy to fight with us." ”

The map was very detailed, and the approximate time and where it would go had been predicted, and the route was not far from the original route, which greatly reduced the danger.

Grace even had a feeling that maybe the school just wanted the students to do it, but no one actually succeeded.

Although she already felt very powerful in her heart, Lilith, who was still unwilling to admit defeat, complained: "Since you have a new plan for a long time, why didn't you tell us in advance and say it so late." ”

"Also, isn't that route safe for us, won't let us be in danger?!"

"I just rearranged the general route, and we were still on the same map, but we changed the direction of action and skipped some unnecessary nodes." Dominica didn't take the little girl's provocation to heart.

She said to her teammates: "If everyone thinks it's okay, we'll start heading to our destination now." Then he took the lead and began to walk forward.

Everyone quickly followed.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Because of the experience of hiking last week, this time the mountain version of "trekking training" is not as difficult as imagined.

In the rugged mountain road, the six people were also riveting, and none of them wanted to be worse than the others.

Akes, who accompanied the five girls, had to admire - these delicate-looking girls really wanted to be ruthless, definitely no worse than the boys!

Of course, this does not include Dominica, because she doesn't have to be ruthless, and she looks like she's already at ease, not inferior to boys.

In this way, basically according to Dominica's plan, they went through some small twists and turns, and finally completed the first day of the trip, for which they didn't even have time to eat dinner.

When the six of them arrived at a mission location that was supposed to be there the next day, they were excited.

Although they were already a little hungry, everyone was so excited that they decided to finish the task in one go and then go to dinner.

So, they began to follow the prompts of the mission, look for clues around, and work together to complete the first task of this simulated actual battle!

Then, after they had eaten dinner, they helped each other to complete the second task, which was to set up the marching tent for the evening.

Because this quest point is not a place to stay on the normal route, it is clean, but there is no bathroom.

The girls who love cleanliness can only hastily clean up with water, and plan to wait for the simulation to be over, and then have a comprehensive cleaning.

To avoid embarrassment, Ax hid in his tent and began to write his report by hand, until Dominica came to call him, and then he walked to the sink with a red face.

Probably because they had gone through a lot together and had some revolutionary friendships, the others laughed when they saw that Ax was even more shy than the girls, and even the corners of Dominica's mouth couldn't stop rising.

Because they wanted to continue their journey the next day, they didn't plan to look at the stars or the moon, but went to bed early.

The day's itinerary was very tight, and everyone quickly fell asleep.

Ax felt that he had not been closing his eyes for long, and that he had arrived the next morning, not even noticing that it was raining heavily in the second half of the night.

When he came out of the tent and found some standing water on the ground, he realized that it had rained last night.

After some treatment of his muscles, the aches and pains in his body gradually disappeared, and it was only then that Axes felt that he had slept well—at least in good spirits.

They hurried to the next mission point.

Now it's time to get started!

With no competitors, they successfully completed two more tasks, so that they had completed two-thirds of the work.

But the good times didn't last long, because those strong teams had already caught up!

Seeing that a few girls had already arrived here, the other party was also very surprised - they had just come here with a team of two sentinels.

Arriving at the mission point at about the same time, Dominica said to everyone, "Let's give up this one and go straight to the next." ”

Probably because it was too smooth before, and suddenly encountered a huge twist and turn, and the girls felt a little unhappy.

But they also knew that if they continued to struggle like this, they might be caught up by the team chasing after them, so they could only watch the boys' team start to do the task and hurriedly rush to the next task point.

On the penultimate mission, they were caught up again, and this time there was more than one team.

The girls panicked instantly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, let's speed up and try to complete the last task!" Competitive and competitive, Lilith couldn't care about the exhaustion of her body at this time.

The girls moved forward quickly, even in front of Dominica and Ax.

Dominica had to remind them: "Be careful, it rained yesterday and the road is slippery ...... here"

"Ahh Before she could finish speaking, Lilith's exclamation was heard in front of her, and even Grace, who had always been calm, screamed.

When Acers heard this, his heart tightened, and he immediately hurried to catch up.

It turned out that Lilith was walking too fast and didn't pay attention to her feet, tripped over a branch, and looked like she had twisted her feet.

- I finally got here, and I saw that the task was completed, but she ......

Lilith's eyes immediately reddened.

Grace's anxious comfort beside her had no effect.

Seeing this, Dominica opened her backpack, took out the first-aid kit, and crouched down to treat Lilith's wounds.

Lilith looked at the top of Dominica's head, and saw that her red and swollen ankles had been sprayed with potion and bandages, and the wounds on her hands had been cleaned and taped, and she didn't know why her heart was even more sore, and she cried out.

As if she didn't hear her cry, Dominica continued to move her hands, and quickly helped her deal with the injury.

Despite being bandaged, Lilith was clearly unable to walk anymore, in which case it was best to abstain.

She wiped her tears, and didn't dare to speak to Dominica, but said to Grace, "You guys go ahead and leave me alone." ”

Of course, Grace couldn't do that, and she was about to say something, when Dominica threw her backpack to Ax, crouched down with her back to Lilith, and only said, "Come up." ”

Except for Ax, who scrambled to catch her bag, the others stared at Dominica with blank expressions.

Without a response from Lilith, Dominica spoke again, and turned to grab Lilith's hand and carry her on top of her.

She glanced at the stunned crowd, frowned, and said, "Look at what I'm doing, how much time is there?" Don't go yet! 166 Reading Network
