Report

Wolf … black hole … the endless rolling in the cave, and the great shock from his body before he completely lost consciousness.

"I'm still alive?" Pinching his face, Zhang Tie felt very painful. Then, he quickly touched his entire body from head to toe. Nothing was missing. His d * ck was still there, except for some abrasions and bruises. However, it was not a big deal.

"Ha … ha …" Sitting on the bed, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter.

Hearing his laughter, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in. "Bighead, you're awake. That's great, ha … ha …"

The figure directly pressed Zhang Tie back onto the bed. The sharp pain from his leg caused Zhang Tie to shriek miserably. "Ah, bastard, my leg, you're pressing my leg …"

Hearing Zhang Tie's miserable shriek, Doug hurriedly let go of Zhang Tie and stood on the bedside. Scratching his head in a silly manner, he said, "Heh heh, sorry, I forgot that your leg was injured..."

After such a short while, Zhang Tie's forehead had already been covered with sweat, and his face was twitching due to the pain. After taking two deep breaths, the pain in his leg gradually subsided. "Where am I? Why am I here?"

"This is the outer castle of Wild Wolf Castle. That day after you fell into the cave, Captain Kerlin and Mr. Zerom brought you out of the black hole on the same night. You're really lucky. I heard that after descending 30 m into the cave, there were several huge slopes that led to a depth of over 200 m. Captain Kerlin and Mr. Zerom had to descend 200 m to bring you out. Seeing that you were injured and in a coma, they brought you here for treatment and recuperation. Only those who were severely injured could receive such treatment …" Doug opened his mouth and told Zhang Tie everything that had happened in the past two days.

"Only those who were severely injured could receive such treatment?" Looking around the room, Zhang Tie found that it was very large and seemed to be a ward. There were more than ten beds, and the beds and quilts were very clean. There was even a smell of disinfectant in the room. It seemed that this was indeed a place provided by the outer castle of Wild Wolf Castle for the wounded to stay during their treatment.

"How long have I been in a coma?"

"Including what happened the night before and yesterday, you've been unconscious for two days!"

"I've been in a coma for two days?" Zhang Tie was a bit surprised. "Oh, who's Mr. Zerom?"

"Of course, it's been two days. Zerom is the teacher in charge of the Second Male Middle School. You should remember him. He's thin, white and looks like a gigolo." While Doug was talking, Zhang Tie had already seen a "thin, white guy who looked like a gigolo" walking to the door and preparing to enter.

Zhang Tie hurriedly winked at Doug; he even pulled his clothes with one hand. However, Doug's brain always short-circuited at the critical moment. He didn't understand Zhang Tie's hint at all; instead, he became flabbergasted.

"Why did you pull me? I didn't say anything wrong. That Zerom looks like a gigolo. Whenever he smiles, he always looks very sinister..."

"If you say that I look like a gigolo, I can understand that you're jealous of my handsome appearance. However, if you say that I look sinister when I smile, I can only understand that you're slandering the members of the Temporary Supervision Committee!" Saying this, Zerom had already walked towards Zhang Tie.

Zhang Tie called out helplessly, "Mr. Zerom!"

Doug's face turned pale. After glancing at Zhang Tie with a hidden bitterness, he turned around stiffly and stammered, "Zh... Mr. Zerom!"

"You're Doug, right? According to the wartime management decree of the Alliance, what should we do to those who slander and insult the officials of the Wartime Management Committee?" At this moment, Zerom smiled, giving off a sinister feeling.

Hearing this, Doug started to tremble all over. Even his teeth started to chatter. According to the wartime management decree of the alliance, such a crime was either sent to jail or sentenced to death.

Zhang Tie was so scared that his face turned pale. "Mr. Zerom, Doug, he..."

Zerom walked over and kicked Doug out of the room. "This is your punishment for slandering the teacher..."

At this moment, Doug was suddenly enlightened. The moment his butt was kicked, he immediately rushed out of the door. Turning around, he made a grimace at Zhang Tie before running out of sight.

This Zerom was not a bad person. This was Zhang Tie's first impression of Zerom. Generally, teachers who would kick students' butts were not bad.

"Thank you, Mr. Zerom. I've just woken up and learned about what happened that day. I was going to thank you!" Zhang Tie pretended to get off the bed.

"That's enough. Don't move. Your legs might need to rest for a couple of days. You don't need to thank me. If too many students died in this survival training, we would lose face!" Zerom casually waved his hand and sat on the bed. "Oh, how did you decide to jump into that hole that day? You should know that most people would choose a different direction than you. Additionally, that hole was bottomless. If you really jumped into it, you would need as much courage as facing the seven wolves. Additionally, the unknown is the most terrifying. That bottomless hole is the most terrifying. Many people who are more powerful than you wouldn't even dare to jump into it."

Scratching his head bashfully, Zhang Tie told Zerom what he had been thinking when he escaped that day. "I don't know why, but when I saw those wolves drilling out of the meadow that day, I knew that the only hope for me to survive was that hole. My life or death would depend on those 20 seconds. Therefore, I did that. Mr. Zerom, is there anything wrong with that?" Zerom didn't know what to say, but he didn't know what to do. Mr. Zerom, is there anything wrong? "

"No, you did very well. Nobody could do better than you in that situation..." Zerom was stunned for a second before he smiled. "I was wondering how you could make such an amazing and accurate action in such a short period of time. Now, it seems that this is your talent, a talent that allows you to stay extremely calm and make the most accurate judgment in the face of danger..."

"This is also a talent?" Zhang Tie felt a bit embarrassed. He guessed that it might be related to that miraculous small tree. According to Miss Daina, distracting thoughts and ideas in one's mind were also waves that consumed one's energy. In that situation, when one's mind was free of distracting thoughts, it meant that one didn't have extra energy to pay attention to those distracting thoughts and ideas. As for where the extra energy went, of course, it was related to that small tree. Zhang Tie had never felt that he had such an ability before!

Of course, Zerom didn't know what was going through Zhang Tie's mind. Instead, he answered Zhang Tie's question seriously, "Of course, 99% of people would never be as calm as you when facing that kind of danger and could make such an accurate and sharp judgment in a split second. That guy Kerlin said that you were good at escaping and saving your life. It seems that you're really good at it..."

Facing such a compliment, Zhang Tie could only force a smile. At the same time, he thought of that guy at the ore collection point. 'Could it be that the weird manners of those guys in No. 2 National Male Middle School all came from Zerom?'

"By the way, have you lit your Shrine burning point?"

"Yes, I have. On the third day since I came here for the survival training!"

Zhang Tie's strength when he killed the wolves had completely surpassed that of common battle workers. Common battle workers could hardly kill three wolves at once in that situation. This was definitely not a secret anymore. If he lied about it, he would be too stupid. There were many powerful people in this survival training. It was said that even some girls had lit their Shrine burning points. Therefore, if he said that he had lit his Shrine burning point, it would not attract too much attention.

As expected, after hearing that Zhang Tie had already lit his Shrine burning point, Zerom only showed an expression of 'I knew it'. He didn't ask too many questions; instead, he just encouraged Zhang Tie. After that, he got to the point.

"Wolves are very smart animals. Common lone wolves might break into crowded places to hunt or wander, but wolf packs won't, because they know that it's very dangerous. It's possible for one wolf to go crazy, but it's very unlikely for a pack of wolves to go crazy together. In the past ten years, after the military forces of Wild Wolf Castle swept through the area within 5 km of Wild Wolf Castle, there's barely any news of a pack of wolves appearing together within a radius of 5 km from Wild Wolf Castle. As there's no other evidence to prove that someone planned this attack, the Temporary Supervision Committee concluded that it was an accident. You should know what I meant!" Although Zerom's words were implicit, Zhang Tie understood what he meant.

"Teacher, you mean that this attack might have been planned by someone?" Zhang Tie's face changed once again.

"I didn't say that. What I meant was that since you were attacked so suddenly, there might be someone behind it. I like smart students the most. I like you very much, so I want to remind you to pay more attention in the survival training. Try not to act alone!" Zerom said straightforwardly.

"There's someone who can control a pack of wolves?" Zhang Tie was astonished.

Zerom faintly smiled at Zhang Tie's astonishment. "It's not difficult to control a pack of wolves. In the future, if you have a chance to meet an animal controller or a wild protector of the school of patron, it would be a piece of cake for them. Since it's not difficult to control a pack of wolves, it's even easier to make a pack of wolves appear in a specific place at a specific time and attack a specific person. There are many strange things in this world …"

… …

After Zerom left, Zhang Tie fell into deep thought. Although Zerom's last words were a bit implicit, it was obvious that he was warning Zhang Tie to be careful of something. After thinking for a while, Zhang Tie realized that besides Glaze's group, he had never offended anyone else among the students attending this survival training. Could it really be Glaze's group who did it?
