Chapter Eighty-Eight: Many Difficulties
After resting for an hour, Chen Zui saw that everyone was safe for the time being, and went to patrol around with Duan Shaoling and Li Chengjing.
The night is dark and the moon is bright, the sky is full of stars, and the faint moonlight is reflected on the surface of the lake, which is even more beautiful. It's a pity that they don't have the heart to appreciate such a beautiful scenery at this time.
The trio held their guns in their right hands, while their left hands picked up a thick branch in the ground to use as a weapon. They searched around for an hour, but there was no movement. After an hour, a few more classmates patrolled the night, and after a few rounds there was no abnormality, and after late at night, they no longer went out to patrol.
However, they were afraid that the soldiers of the school would raid in the middle of the night, so they selected twelve uninjured people, in groups of four, to be on duty to keep vigil in the middle of the night, so as to prevent danger in the middle of the night. Each group has a two-hour vigil, and if there is nothing unusual, after two hours, the other four students will be asked to get up and change shifts, so as to ensure that everyone is safe.
The classmate who ate the cooking cake tried several times in one night according to the method Li Chengjing said, and the pain in his abdomen has been relieved by half. The injured classmate was only a skin wound, not a real gunshot wound, and after the bandaging, the pain gradually disappeared.
The injured students were all gathered in the center to rest, and the eight students who were not yet on duty formed a second circle, and the first four students on duty gathered around the outermost area. Everyone only hopes that tonight will be calm, and only by resting for a good night can they cope with the next test.
"Buzzing ......" They heard the sound of mosquitoes in their ears in their sleep, and at the same time, their hands and feet were stabbed coldly, not painful, but the sound lingered in their ears, making it difficult for them to sleep. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he waved his hand and slapped it, and the insects flew extremely fast, and it was even more elusive in the dark night. But it was really difficult, and after weighing it, being bitten was still a trivial matter, so I endured it.
Except for the infestation of mosquitoes, there was nothing else, and everyone spent two hours peacefully, and gradually fell asleep. Chen Zui, Li Chengjing and the other four people were on the second shift, and they circled around everyone again, and there was nothing abnormal, so they gradually relaxed their hearts, and the two hours were calm again.
By the time the third group finished its shift, it was almost six o'clock. This season it gets dark later in the mountains, and it's still dark at six o'clock, and it's still nearly an hour before dawn breaks. After patrolling and working all night, there was nothing to see, and everyone put their minds at ease and slept peacefully.
I don't know how long it took, but people who didn't sleep deeply suddenly saw a bright light flash in front of them, and it was dawn. When I opened my eyes, I saw a fire burning nearby, "Oh no, it's on fire." At this shout, everyone woke up and immediately stood up.
There were fire folds thrown from all sides, and the corners of some people's clothes touched and suddenly burned, and they were shocked and hurriedly waved away.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire from behind has reached my ears. Chen Zui and the others drew their guns in their hands, but they still let the injured people continue to move forward, and the rest of the people were behind. Unexpectedly, as soon as they took two steps, there were enemies attacking on all sides, and the momentum was violent, and they could only fight to the death when they could not avoid it.
They had a night's rest and were in much better spirits. At this moment, the catastrophe is coming, and everyone is extremely brave, and they will not fall behind for a while.
Suddenly, the soldiers drew their short knives from their bosoms and beckoned to them, and the two sides were almost evenly matched by the heroic resistance of these students. However, these students only have pistols and no daggers, and these officers are all very skilled. The students were at a disadvantage, and the sound of someone being stabbed with a knife could be faintly heard in the crowd.
They had to pick up branches from the ground and fight them, trying not to let their blades come near them. But as this continued, the students were only in the midst of being beaten, and as they were fighting each other, someone in the crowd shouted, "Everyone, stop." The voice was deep, coming from among the soldiers.
Everyone was fighting tightly, and it was difficult to stop for a while. By the light of the fire, they saw that some soldiers were holding fire breakers in one hand, and with the other hand already holding a gun to the student's temple, or a short knife on their neck, a total of twelve students were restrained by them.
The leader came over, took all the bullets from the gun, and only the last one remained, and broke his hands in two. He was telling them that the bullets were fake, not real, and that he wasn't really going to kill the twelve classmates.
"Even if these subdued students fail the test, we will take them back to school to heal, and the rest of you can move on."
Although these twelve classmates were not captured after the defeat, they could not pass the second level of the test, and their faces couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, so they had to encourage the rest of them to work hard.
At this time, the soldiers became very polite, and went up together to help their classmates, who were either injured or had abdominal pain, and walked back in the direction they had been coming.
The rest of the people have already passed two levels, but if they want to get out of the island, I'm afraid they will have to go through five levels and kill six generals like Guan Yunchang.
As they walked through the woods, it was daylight, and the sun was slowly rising in the east. Not far ahead is a green wood plank road, the plank road used to be a small valley, I don't know what danger awaits them over there.
They were not in a hurry to pass here, the entourage on this island could see a clear stream, and they had to go to the stream next to them to wash and heal the wounds on their bodies before crossing the plank road.
Some of the remaining classmates still have abdominal pain and injuries, and some old injuries have not healed and new injuries, but they are just fighting hard for a while, and they are lucky to get through.
When I arrived at the stream, my classmates, who were still suffering from abdominal pain, suddenly seemed to feel less pain. Immediately, their spirits were greatly lifted, as long as there was no pain in their abdomen, and the skin injuries they suffered did not affect them to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they had more confidence in the next test.
When everyone took off their shirts and cleaned the wounds, you look at me, I look at you, and see that each other's arms and necks have red rashes, which are still a little dark black, reaching out to touch them, it hurts and itchy, and when they wash it with water, it is getting more and more itchy.
"Not good, the mosquitoes on the island are poisonous." Everyone was shocked, and immediately felt all over the body, and some of the bites near the wound were extremely itchy.
Chen Zui also suffered minor injuries to his arm during the fight, and the itching pain after several mosquito bites on his body was also extremely uncomfortable. I saw Li Chengjing crooking her neck, her shoulders shrugged left and right and rubbing her back, knowing that her situation must be the same as everyone else. There are no doctors, no anti-itch medicines, and everyone has to stay dry.
The crowd simply washed the wounds and filled them with water. The sun was warm, and they were getting more and more itchy. They didn't delay any longer, they only walked to the plank road, and when they were about to walk through the plank road, they saw that there was a mountain road on the top, and if the enemy was ambushing on it, it would be even more dangerous for them.
As they walked, they held their guns in their hands and pointed them upward, and if there was the slightest mistake, they immediately fired upwards. When they arrived in the valley, they were backlit on all sides, and the itching pain on their bodies was relieved a lot. But the valley was low, and both sides were the best time for the enemy to ambush them, and their guns were always aimed at both sides.
Halfway through the valley, there was still no movement. They quickened their pace, and as soon as they crossed the valley, they had a better chance of winning when they reached the flat ground.
Suddenly, rocks from several sides kept hitting the valley like arrows. They dodged as they waved their hands to resist. Rao is that the stones are not big, and everyone is still hit by the stones to varying degrees. The stones kept stopping, followed by another burst of gunfire, and more than 20 soldiers rushed out from above on both sides, and they had to fight even if they were hit by the stones, they had to raise their guns against the soldiers above.
Those soldiers were condescending and had the upper hand. Wounded, exhausted, and hungry, they fought and retreated, fighting out of the valley to fight them again.
Seeing that they were about to reach the flat land outside, they had just left the valley mouth, and officers on both sides came to cover them, and they did not even give them any respite. In a panic, they couldn't help but feel angry, and even if they fought to the last man, they had to fight hard to the end.
They pounced on the soldiers like beasts, slashing with their short knives and leaving a punch and a kick on them. These soldiers did not dare to underestimate them in the face of their fierceness. However, many of the students were injured and hungry, and after fighting for a while, they gradually felt exhausted, but none of them flinched.
"Stop it, everybody."
They heard a shout that was even more powerful than before, and the soldiers stepped back and stopped. When everyone looked back again, more than a dozen students were restrained. After they understand the rules, they will not resist again, it is useless to resist, and these more than ten students have already failed the test.
The soldiers, like the previous ones, went to help the wounded classmates away. Compared with the frustration of the previous twelve students, these more than ten students also got a little relief from their loss, and instead of living and suffering here, they can finally go back to recuperate from their injuries now.
After they left, the scene was counted, and there were still fourteen students left at this moment, all of them looking embarrassed, with blood stains on their faces and bodies, all of which were injured to varying degrees.
Chen Zui checked the injuries of Li Chengjing and Duan Shaoling, but fortunately, they only suffered some minor injuries like himself. Zou Baoyi, Shen Hong, and Lu Baiting have all survived until now, which is beyond Li Chengjing's expectations, the three of them are stronger than she imagined.
They all showed more or less the pain of being injured, only Bai Wenhao, who was inevitably injured, but his expression was still indifferent, and he didn't even hear him hum.
At this time, they could no longer support it, and immediately collapsed to the ground, letting their bodies itch and hurt again, lying still and not wanting to move again.
Fourteen men lay in silence for half an hour, feeling their strength regained slightly, but on the other hand, the wounds on their bodies were more painful, and the sound of hunger in their bellies was like the screaming of toads. They have fought three or four times since yesterday afternoon, and they have suffered so many injuries that they have not eaten any food except for drinking water.
