27. Chapter XXVII
【Chapter 27: Team】Man is a solitary animal and a social animal
The way back was very smooth, without deliberate obstacles, and several people did not encounter any unexpected troubles along the way.
Goodbye to the silver-scaled serpent from earlier.
Tonya lifted it from the ground and coiled it around her wrist, which looked like a silver bracelet if you didn't look closely. The silver-scaled snake is cold-loving, but after being domesticated, it likes to get along with its owner, and is an extremely contradictory creature.
The silver-scaled serpent had apparently been domesticated.
"This is my spirit body." Tonya explained.
As for why his spirit body could be separated from him for so long, and why he concealed his identity as a guide before, Tonya didn't mention anything, and Ye Zhao and the others didn't ask.
They chose to help Tonya hide his identity and let Tonya continue to return to Gavin Military Academy for the entrance test.
Ye Zhao clearly remembered that the federal brigadier general Tonya Rhodes, who committed treason in the previous life, was finally sentenced to execution by the Federal Supreme Court.
He doesn't want history to repeat itself, Tonya is right, it's the people in power who are wrong.
The piece of ore that Long Tao and Safir got in the spaceship's power supply room was the liquid titanium ore they had been looking for, and when they were passing through the desert, Joshua had already put it into the energy extraction device of the mecha "Meteor" and re-drove the mecha.
He was already in a hurry, and Ye Zhao and the others didn't do much to keep it. However, Sefer finally turned crimson and said "goodbye" awkwardly.
"Goodbye!" Joshua winked at him and smiled shyly.
The Federation soldiers on the spaceship and the Federation troops in the mine no longer need Ye Zhao and them to worry about. What Joshua should do when he goes back this time is a matter for the upper echelons of the empire, and these Federation troops obviously do not intend to lead a war, and they don't have to worry about attacking nearby students for the time being.
It's time for them to go back.
"Long Tao, you said that the other party already knew about the academy's arrangements in advance, what the hell is going on?" Walking to the edge of the forest, Ye Zhao asked.
If they are divided into two teams, one side is informed in advance, then their chances of winning are greater, they have the purpose to suppress the other side, and Ye Zhao's side seems to be free-range, some may know, but some will not know this rule if they don't meet the other team.
It makes no sense for the college to arrange it this way.
Long Tao shook his head.
Not only him, but everyone couldn't think of such a purpose as a school.
In front of it was the original camp, and the sky was already a little white, and it was about to dawn. The food left over by the crowd was basically untouched along the way, and there were some wild fruits in the forest that were enough to satisfy their stomachs, and they could save as much as they could.
When they first met Long Tao, the situation on both sides could be said to be one-sided, and the other party came prepared, and they were caught off guard. I don't know what kind of scene it is like here after more than two days.
The current Long Tao is much calmer than at the beginning, he thought about it carefully, and felt that he should be far more than the only one who escaped at the beginning.
"It's possible that they let us escape on purpose."
"I'll let you out after suing you for the rules? Yes, this is the way to keep this test going, but why not just tell both parties in the first place, why let one of them sue us? ”
The crowd didn't figure this out, and they decided to go back to the camp for the time being to see what was going on.
In the garrison, it has only been two days and there is already a sense of depression. Ye Zhao and the others didn't move around at will, but Long Tao quickly found his two previous partners in a tent.
"Brother Long?!" One of them called out after seeing Long Tao's face.
"What about the others?" Long Tao asked him.
They were led by this man to a tent inside that was originally used to pile up miscellaneous items, and the freshmen who had been hundreds were now sitting together in fear.
The glamorous glamour of the beginning is long gone.
Ye Zhao frowned: "You ......" He didn't know what to say for a while.
Long Tao's two friends spoke: "Although the people over there did not come to embarrass us again, they snatched all our weapons and food, and we haven't eaten for two days. ”
"Why don't you go to the forest to find food?" Tonya couldn't understand it.
"It's so dangerous in the forest, who wants to go......" one of them whispered.
"Starve to death!" "We've just walked a few times out of the forest, so it's really that dangerous that we can still stand here?" ”
"Then you go get us food!" Someone said something unwillingly.
The atmosphere in this tent was very solemn, they had lost their vitality, and now even if the new students on that side were no longer in trouble, they would not be able to get out of the forest in a month.
It's a terrible state.
"Do you still want to go to Gavin?" Ye Zhao asked.
There was still silence present, and no one seemed willing to expend extra effort to answer his question. After a long time, someone said, "What do you want......?"
"It's enough to think." He walked to the door of the tent, and the rising sun shone on him, casting a soft light around him.
"It's dawn, don't you all come out and move?"
Initially, the instructor told them that the first person to walk out of the forest would be eligible to enter the academy, and this was the clear rule of this entrance test; But the freshmen on the other side let them know that if more than two-thirds of the freshmen who came out of the forest were freshmen from one side or the other, then all of them would be admitted to the school, while even if someone on the other side was one of the top 500, they might be eliminated and only the students with the highest overall score would be selected - this was a hidden rule.
There are only a little more than half of them left here, and some are missing.
Ye Zhao stood at the door and waited for them, as long as one person was willing to come out, there would be people following one after another.
Humans are solitary animals as well as social animals. Everyone will have their own independent thinking, but they are always influenced by the people around them, and a group of people influence each other, and over time, a "team" will be formed.
Ye Zhao felt as if he had suddenly understood what part of the academy's intentions were in doing this.
Someone inside staggered to his feet and walked in his direction.
