Jiang Hui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the team leader instructor suddenly appear in front of him.
She was not familiar with the StarCraft. This place looked eerie even before it got dark. Some of the shadows in the corners looked scary. One could imagine how scary it would be when night fell. She couldn't just stay here and wait for the school to find her.
Just when I didn't know what to do, the instructor came back.
"?" Jiang Hui was like a silly goose and couldn't help but make a stupid sound.
Then she quickly realized that the other party was probably trying to persuade her to give up.
"Since you know you have done your best, you should stop the loss in time, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself. If you continue like this, you will only drag others down." Mace said to the girl.
These words were actually almost implying that she was holding back. Jiang Hui felt that she was quite thick-skinned and her face felt slightly hot.
"Wait here. There is a temporary tent in the luggage. You will be safe inside for the time being. I have already notified the observation center. Someone should come to pick you up soon. Don't follow the team anymore."
… Now that things have come to this, what else can she do
Jiang Hui was not such a perseverant person, but she was used to doing things from beginning to end, and she would go on the path she chose no matter how difficult it was. So she followed along all the way, and she didn't want to be the one who succumbed to comfort.
But now someone was pointing at her nose and telling her that she was in the way and holding them back, saying that it was totally unnecessary and she was almost out of control with whatever anger she had.
Fortunately, the instructor was not really that hard-hearted. He seemed to be worried that Jiang Hui would not be able to use the temporary tent, so he taught her how to install it, and then left her without looking back.
Jiang Hui watched the other person's back for a long time. When the night was completely dark, he turned around and went into the temporary tent.
So... her training session ended like this? Now she just had to lie down and wait for someone to pick her up
Although it is called a temporary tent, its quality is actually quite good. It should be because of the use of space storage technology. It is quite spacious for one person to sit inside. And it looks a bit like a metal structure from the inside. It feels very light when you lift it, but it feels very sharp in your hand. You feel safe when you lie down.
She might as well just lie there and wait...
No! What if I fall asleep in this remote place and can't wake up
Of course, it was impossible for Jiang Hui to be so careless and sleep well. Even in this enclosed tent, she would feel a sense of terror all the time, as if she was a little lamb in the hunting range of a fierce beast.
It's even more terrifying when you can't see it.
Jiang Hui felt a little regretful. She shouldn't have listened to the instructor's threats and insisted on following him. She wasn't someone who had such a strong sense of collective honor, but she valued her life more than anyone else. What if something unexpected happened while she was alone here
so-
When will the school people come to pick her up
———————
"This class is pretty good, and they've almost reached the last station." The people at the observation center on the other side took a look around and had an idea in their minds.
"Has anyone arrived?"
“… Not yet. We’ve reached the last checkpoint. It’ll probably take a while. I wonder which team will be able to break through and get there first.” The person who spoke was wearing a teacher’s uniform. The only difference between him and the first-year student was the badge on his chest.
"In that case, the last station should be the most crucial and finale. Teacher Vic, please tell me. I heard that this part was planned and coordinated by you second-year students. Last year's ambush was really exciting and taught those brats a good lesson."
"Teacher Ares, what you said makes me hope that these guys will be careful and not be careless again. Last time, those brats did not care about the consequences and almost hurt the freshmen's eyes. Otherwise, it would be a problem whether the school can continue to open today." The second-grade teacher shook his head and laughed.
So this last stop was also an actual ambush? The others had already heard the other party's implication and guessed the last test of the training.
In some places, the process had already begun. As fewer people spoke, the instructors focused on checking the images in front of them. Because of the cross-recording method, no one noticed that several images in the real-time monitoring were missing, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Jiang Hui had been waiting there for a long time. He had been wondering in the beginning and was now becoming more and more doubtful.
Did the team leader really contact the observation center for her? Or was it the school's rule that people who were left behind could only be rescued after the training was completed... If she had known earlier, she would have waited at the temporary shelter instead of feeding mosquitoes in the wilderness.
Jiang Hui's computer was not in her hand, and she did not have a tool like a clock to confirm the time, so she could only judge the time based on her general feeling. She felt that it must be at least an hour or two.
She became more and more restless as she waited in the enclosed space.
“…” Jiang Hui suddenly sniffed.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt a strange sour smell suddenly fill the air, which gradually became stronger from light.
It was normal for special smells to escape from the jungle. When she was climbing Mingshier Aiping Mountain, she occasionally smelled some special plant scents on the mountain, some of which were sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, and some seemed to have a sense of synaesthesia. After walking there for a while, Jiang Hui felt that her sense of smell had been trained a lot, and she would no longer easily react to strange smells.
But she had never smelled any sour smell like this one with such obvious biological characteristics. It was more like a sour and smelly smell with a rotten smell than a sour smell.
This is an atmosphere that makes human instincts feel very uncomfortable.
The smell became stronger and more irritating. Jiang Hui felt something was wrong with his whole body. His skin, exposed membranes, eyes and nose, mouth and throat, as well as the invisible nervous system inside, all felt extremely uncomfortable from the outside to the inside, and his heart kept beating "dong dong dong" in his inner cavity.
Jiang Hui's respiratory system was clearly normal and he could feel his breath going in and out normally, but he always felt as if there was some kind of breath blocking his insides and outsides and he couldn't breathe.
I can't stand it anymore.
Jiang Hui carefully poked his head out of the tent holding a lamp.
She was the only bright spot in the dark environment. No one was coming and going, and there were no so-called rescuers. Jiang Hui seemed to be left alone under the dark sky.
She did not have time to panic about this, and took a long breath impatiently. There was the scent of grass and trees unique to the wilderness, and the air was also filled with the sour smell that almost suffocated her just now. But perhaps because the air flow was more frequent in the open space, it did not feel so suffocating.
She almost suffocated to death in the tent just now.
