Encounter with the deceased
At this time, a big boy who was right behind me also passed through the curtain of rushing water of the waterfall and fell into the large net. He was still coughing violently from choking on a few mouthfuls of water. I looked at it, and it turned out that the second person who jumped down was the burly boy Doug who had been cheering on the road. I couldn't help but slap my hands vigorously, and the people around me cheered and cheered.
As I got used to the dim light, I realized that it was a protruding platform that stretched out into the darkness. There are a lot of staff standing here and there on the platform, all of them busy preparing for the arrival of new students.
I casually scanned the crowd when suddenly a familiar figure stumbled over my eyes, and I could no longer sway my gaze, lest he disappear as if in a dream.
For this man, even in the vast crowd, I can recognize it at a glance. His tall and burly figure is unforgettable, his dark blue eyes are deep and hazy, and when he laughs, his mouth seems to be deliberately tilted to the right side, isn't this the lover Amanda who makes me think about it day and night!
How did he end up here? And that's it····· So young!! Could it be?!
Even though there were so many questions weaving through my mind, my heart was still full of joy like never before, and I couldn't help but walk over to him while he was laughing with the other two team members.
As I approached Amanda, Amanda turned her head to look at me, but unfortunately his fleeting gaze didn't stop at all on me.
I looked at Amanda suspiciously, and suddenly a thought shattered all my illusions------ he probably didn't know me at all. But I continued to walk towards him recklessly, and how I wished in my heart that he would know me. Step by step, I approached him, and he and his companions noticed it, and they turned their heads and looked at me curiously.
I walked up to Amanda and asked pretending to be relaxed, "Do you remember me?" ”
He looked at me, then replied without thinking, "I'm sorry, I don't seem to know you." ”
I searched my stomach for what to do with it, but a woman's cry interrupted my thoughts.
"Amanda, Amanda."
"Hey! I'll go over for a moment. He patted the brother standing beside him and turned away.
The other two men also talked to each other and walked away, leaving me alone.
I stood dejected, my heart like I had broken a vinegar bottle, sour, and my eyes moistened. Even though in the past life we were a pair of happy mandarin ducks like glue, but in this life we are two suffering jackdaws who are like strangers.
After overcoming the difficulty of jumping off the cliff, the freshmen rested for a while, and then gathered again and headed towards the distance of the platform.
Hetty, who was walking to my left, excitedly said, "It was so exciting just now! I was terrified when I jumped off the cliff, but I didn't expect to jump into the water and then jump into the net, it was so thrilling!"
I just smiled politely at her, but I had mixed feelings.
The further we went, the darker the road became, and I could barely reach my fingers, and I followed the group one foot deeper, one foot shallow, one moment touching the shoulders of those in front of me, and the other being trampled on by those behind. After a while, there was a chirping and crooked scream in the team, and in order to avoid bumping and trampling again, we freshmen stretched out our arms and put them on the shoulders of the people in front of us, forming a square camp.
We continued walking, and finally we saw a faint light ahead, and slowly the road ahead was faintly visible, and we finally walked out of the cave.
After coming out of the cave, you can see that the mountain peaks here are undulating, clouds and mist, and the mountain path is winding and steep. On an upright cliff in the distance, three big yellow characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing------ Lei Gong Cave.
We continued along the rugged mountain road, and after a while we entered a small cave, and the darkness ahead made us fearful, but the members of the Fearless Faction who walked in front of us did not flinch and strode forward. We freshmen had no choice but to put our arms together again and staggered after them.
So we passed through several small caves and came to a slightly larger cave. Unexpectedly, this time the crossing was very different from the previous ones, we did not shuttle in parallel, but went down the steps. After descending dozens of steps, the front suddenly opened up.
A female member of the Fearless Faction introduced in front: "This is the core camp of our Fearless Faction, the central area of Lei Gong Cave, welcome to you." ”
I look around, the whole cave plane is tortuous, vertical can be divided into five layers, the stone stalactites in the cave, the stalagmites are dizzying, the more than a dozen "halls" formed naturally are connected by a narrow and long "corridor", the face of the cave is rugged, the support is staggered, it is really a ghostly workmanship, it is incredible.
The female player continued: "I'll introduce myself, my name is Hilda. Then she pointed to the team members and introduced us in turn: "This is Enron, Jessy, Amanda, Auston, Andre. ”
I heard Amanda's name.
"You will be divided into three teams, Andre and I will be in charge of the first squadron, Enron and Auston will be in the second squadron, and Jessie and Amanda will be in charge of the third squadron. There are 25 people in the first squadron and 24 people in the second squadron, all of whom have grown up in the Fearless Faction since childhood, so they are already quite familiar with the training intensity and rules here. But the third squadron is different, among the 19 new members of you, there are new students who have been transferred, and there are also new students who have stood out from the ordinary faction. In the days to come, you have to be mentally prepared, and the training can be extremely hard. Hopefully, you'll all be lucky enough to stay in half a year. Okay, that's all for now. If there is anything in the future, you can always reach out to any of us. She turned her head and looked inquiringly at the other five team members, all of whom shook their heads and said they didn't need to say anything more. Well, that's it, I hope that the new members of the 3rd Squadron will be able to get rid of the unfamiliar feeling as soon as possible and integrate into our big collective. ”
"Then we'll go first." After nodding to Amanda and Jessie, she and André led the members of the first squadron to the north with cheers, gradually disappearing into the distance.
The second squadron was also ready to go, and Enron and Alston came over to say goodbye to Jesse and Amanda.
An Ran asked with concern: "This year, it's the turn of the two of you to manage the new expatriate students, and the pressure is not small, right?"
"Fortunately, the number of personnel has decreased sharply every year, and there are only 19 new expatriate students this year." Jiexi smiled indifferently and responded.
"The fewer expatriates the better, preferably with a lot of fire!" Alston said aggressively.
But the other three team members didn't squeak.
After they hugged each other, Enron and Auston led the members of the second squadron to run away quickly to the north.
Now at the entrance to the hall, there were only nineteen of us freshmen on assignment and two members of the Fearless Faction.
I had mixed feelings, happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy that Amanda is in charge of my team and I'm able to get along with him, but it's sad that he doesn't know me at all.
Jessie and Amanda stood at the front of the team, Jessie looked around at us, and said solemnly: "My name is Jessie, his name is Amanda, and we will be in charge of your team for the next six months." Maybe some of you think you're on the core team and you should rest easy, but you're wrong! The real test has just begun. Survival of the fittest is an iron law, and I hope you can all keep it in mind. ”
Amanda stared into the distance, his brow furrowed, and he didn't say a word.
Then we set off again, slowly running towards the east side of the hall.
What awaits us? I became more and more nervous.
