Everyone was confused by this sudden change.
Ye Hanfeng frowned and wanted to step forward, but Wu Ming stopped him.
"Private fighting is against the school rules."
Ye Hanfeng: "If you violate the rules at this time, it may affect your military registration..."
At this point, anyone with a little common sense can see that as soon as the selection training is over, Shi Ji will be immediately recruited into the special forces team.
Ye Hanfeng has seen through Shi Ji's real strength. He has seen many such things and does not want Shi Ji to reach this point, only to be stuck by cumbersome and rigid rules.
Wu Ming patted him on the shoulder: "Little brother, this is not a military academy."
Ye Hanfeng was stunned.
Wu Ming handed him new gauze and medicine: "This is an exercise. An exercise simulates a battlefield."
Wu Ming: "You see those mechanical bugs, they may turn into real bugs tomorrow and eat us all to pieces."
Ye Hanfeng's shoulders and back tightened unconsciously.
He didn't say anything else. He took the gauze and medicine, thanked him, and walked aside.
Wu Ming had personally witnessed the formation of a united and reasonable team, and was already very experienced in this matter.
Wu Ming lit a cigarette, waved his hand, and asked someone to bring over the preparatory students who had not yet officially entered the military academy and blindfold them in advance.
…
Shi Ji couldn't help but frowned slightly.
He raised his hand for the third time and knocked Sheng Yi, who was rushing towards him hysterically, to the ground. In his mind, he asked Yu Tang: "Mr. Yu, will he really disobey orders and rush into the insect tide alone in the future?"
Yu Tang had just finished playing a large-scale real-life mechanical bug elimination game and returned to his sea of consciousness from the mecha. While helping the mall to move data, he gave a concise answer: "Yes."
Not only will he disobey orders and charge into the Zerg swarm, he will also take away the most talented observer in the entire galaxy, turning him into a cold AI program forever.
… But there’s no need to tell Shi Ji about this.
Mistakes are being corrected one by one, and these outrageous endings that were designed will never have the chance to happen again.
"You've taken care of him for so long," Yu Tang said, "you should be able to deduce how much trouble he will cause once the war breaks out, given his current strength and mentality."
Yu Tang: "You should also know how to teach him so that he can listen best."
Shi Ji remained silent and did not answer immediately.
… Yu Tang did not explain it clearly, but he knew what Mr. Yu did not say.
If humans and Zerg go to war, and Sheng Yi continues to act like this, it will not only harm himself, but also kill those around him.
A mecha operator who is not strong enough, arrogant and protected everywhere because of his identity may cause too many unpredictable consequences.
There will be many more because of this meaningless and stupid sacrifice.
…
Shi Ji raised his hand and unbuttoned the top button of his training uniform.
Sheng Yi got up and rushed over again with red eyes, but Shi Ji didn't control the strength to "send" him to the ground like he did the previous times.
Shi Ji blocked Sheng Yi's fist and hit Sheng Yi's chest with his elbow. Sheng Yi's body reflexively shrank in pain, and Shi Ji raised his knee to hit him, forcing him to the ground.
Shi Ji did not stop as usual, instead, his figure became even more fierce, and he chopped Sheng Yi's throat with his knife.
Sheng Yi's pupils dilated rapidly in fear.
The wind blew across his throat, and Shi Ji just stopped and stood up and stepped back.
Sheng Yi was panting and lying stiffly on the ground.
"Stand up." Shi Ji said.
Sheng Yi gritted his teeth and tried his best to get up, but his limbs were inexplicably soft and unobedient.
This was the first time he experienced the fear of being extremely close to death.
Something was thrown at him.
Sheng Yi looked over sideways, half of his face was brushed by rough brick chips, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently.
… Shi Ji took out a dagger.
Shi Ji threw the dagger he carried with him to him, put one hand behind his back, and looked down at Sheng Yi.
Sheng Yi's voice was hoarse: "... What do you mean?"
Shi Ji took the initiative to find an excuse for him: "I have received more professional fighting training, which is different from yours. It is not fair to win."
Shi Ji: "You can use weapons, and I will give you a hand."
Sheng Yi felt like he was slapped hard back and forth.
His face was burning with pain, and his whole body was burned by humiliation and lost his mind. He roared, picked up the dagger and rushed towards Shi Ji.
Before he rushed to Shi Ji, Shi Ji had already arrived.
Shi Ji's expression was still gentle and calm, but the sharp and fierce murderous aura could not be concealed and emanated from his body.
Sheng Yi didn't even have time to see Shi Ji's movements clearly before a sharp pain exploded in his chest and abdomen. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the groan, gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed at Shi Ji, trying to force Shi Ji back.
Shi Ji didn't even look at it, he dodged the fierce dagger sideways, still put his right hand behind his back, and patted his wrist with his left hand.
Half of Sheng Yi's arm instantly felt numb and sore, and he lost all strength in the upper half of his hand, and couldn't help but relax.
Shi Ji caught the dagger that fell from his hand.
Sheng Yi couldn't stop his momentum and fell heavily to the ground, his chest heaving rapidly and beads of sweat rolling down.
Shi Ji threw the dagger back to him: "Come again."
Sheng Yi couldn't move.
The aura that appeared and disappeared from Shi Ji's body made him breathless. He felt as if he had died several times, and his body was still weak.
His chest seemed to be ripped open into a bottomless hole, and all the hostility in his body quickly leaked out, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness.
"Come again." Shi Ji said, "If you can't even beat me, you can't go to the battlefield."
Sheng Yi's hands were shaking. He gritted his teeth, bent down without saying a word, and picked up the gun.
His fingers were cold and stiff, and after trying several times he managed to pick up the dagger and hold it in his hand.
... He is no match for Shi Ji.
Sheng Yi was panting. He had finally calmed down a little. He mustered up his last bit of courage and strength, used his best fighting skills, and clenched the dagger to attack.
Shi Ji retreated under his fierce attack.
Sheng Yi was delighted, and he made a feint to get past Shi Ji, then slashed the dagger across Shi Ji's ribs.
He saw with his own eyes that the dagger had already touched Shi Ji's combat uniform, and the next moment, Shi Ji's figure disappeared from his sight.
He felt a sharp pain in the arm holding the dagger, his right shoulder made a crisp sound, and his entire arm instantly went limp and dropped down.
Shi Ji was behind him, twisting his arms and pinning Sheng Yi firmly against the cover.
…
The old, rough, rust was grinding against his face coldly.
Sheng Yi's face was pale, his entire body was soaked in cold sweat, and his chest felt cold in the pain that was enough to completely exhaust him.
"It's just a dislocation. There won't be any substantial damage, but you need to rest."
Shi Ji was confident that his men were fully recovered, so he let go of his hands and said to Sheng Yi, "They need to rest for at least a month. If you start rehabilitation exercises too early, it will cause the joints to loosen and habitual dislocations will occur."
Shi Ji: "You need to evacuate to the safe area with the others. I will ask Captain Wu to send someone to escort you."
Sheng Yi closed his eyes.
… Shi Ji didn’t leave him any choice at all.
He felt that Shi Ji had become a complete stranger to him, and he couldn't think about what was going on - he would completely collapse in this torment.
Sheng Yi covered his shoulder, staggered and barely stood up, his voice hoarse: "Are you taking revenge on me?"
"Revenge for what I did and said to you."
"You are already the No. 1 observer in the spotlight. You can just leave me alone."
Sheng Yi lowered his eyes: "Even if I die in the exercise, it is my own business and has nothing to do with others..."
Shi Ji listened to him quietly. Before he could answer, Sui Qi couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Is it your own fault?"
Sheng Yi's chest rose and fell with difficulty.
"Master, wake up." Sui Qi said sarcastically, "Do you know that in the last war with the Zerg, the number of casualties suffered by the special forces due to rescue missions was several times the official combat casualties?"
"Do you think that being a hero is none of other people's business?"
Sui Qi said: "I've heard of you... Your father probably never told you why Captain Zhuang was ordered to take over the special operations team in a critical moment, right?"
"Because the deputy captain who was supposed to take over was injured."
Sui Qi said: "He was ordered to rescue a mecha that disobeyed orders and risked his life to compete for credit. He was injured in the battle and had to retire to become an instructor."
They were the most promising pair of elders in Sui Dynasty. Both husband and wife were in the special operations team. The wife was the team doctor, and the husband was the top mecha operator. They were also the successors originally designated by the old captain.
The special operations team had originally been arranged so that Deputy Captain Sui, who had just the right qualifications and achievements, would take over the special operations team, giving Zhuang Yu enough free space so that he could, like Shi Ji now, liberate all his talents without restraint.
Sui Yu had originally prepared himself to wait for the couple to completely retire from the front line and join the military with meritorious service, and then hand over the family to him to take over.
…
Zhuang Yu was indeed talented and strong, but he was too young at that time. Taking over the responsibility of the special operations team directly pushed him and his team to the forefront of everything.
Such a hasty handover laid countless hidden dangers for everything that happened afterwards.
Sheng Yi had never heard of this before. He looked up in surprise and looked at Sui Qi.
"You guys..."
Sui Qi swallowed back the more unruly words and looked at Sheng Yi: "Do you want to know who drives that mecha?"
Sheng Yi's throat moved with difficulty.
Sui Qi would not mention these things to him for no reason, just like Shi Ji would not attack him so harshly for no reason - their comrades were their Achilles' heel, these people were not afraid of sacrifice, but were unwilling to watch their comrades sacrificed in meaningless things.
… He guessed the answer, but he didn’t dare to listen to it.
"If you don't want to listen, forget it."
Sui Qi said: "I've also heard about your bad deeds."
"Your father's mecha crashed in a swarm of insects, and only the observer came back with injuries all over his body. So you hate that observer with all your heart, and think that everything is his fault."
Sui Qi: "I just didn't expect... that the observer I asked you to send was actually of this level."
Sheng Yi was irritated by the word "falsely" and gritted his teeth, unable to help but retort: "I—"
He only said one word, and couldn't say anything else.
Ye Hanfeng was also a military kid, but his father was the head of a lower-level military region. Ye Hanfeng was arrogant and had never been interested in gossip, so he didn't know these secrets.
Ye Hanfeng had only asked him a few times what Shi Ji's identity was, but he only found out that Shi Ji was a bionic creature and stopped there without asking any more questions.
… This was the first time that someone had forced him to examine this logic.
"Let's not talk about whether your father has died or not." Sui Qi looked at him, "You have never thought that there is something strange about this, right?"
"An observer will never be able to give the order to go deep into the insect swarm."
"The wingman is not a melee weapon. It is not as strong as the mecha, and it cannot resist the fierce attack of the core of the insect swarm."
Sui Qi said: "If you are not a top pilot, you don't even need to be attacked by the Zerg. As long as you hit a high-speed flying Zerg, you will be destroyed and killed."
…
Sheng Yi hadn’t thought about these things.
He was questioned to the point of being unable to breathe, and even his remaining energy for anger and shame was gone. He seemed to have fallen into the bottom of a cold and dark abyss.
Sui Qi's voice still rang in his ears.
"That is to say, if a mecha goes deep into the insect swarm, there is a chance of survival."
"But for my wingman, it's like going straight to die."
Sui Qi's words were like a dagger, cold and sharp, cutting him open without mercy: "Your father knew this."
Sui Qi asked him: "Your father knew this, so why did he force the wingman to cooperate in carrying out this mission?"
