Nightfall.
The trainees dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory one by one. Life on Polar night was extremely fulfilling, but at the same time, it was also extremely painful. Not everyone could be as outstanding as the trainees at the top of the sequence. Most of them suffered great physical and mental stress, and their mental state was extremely poor. All kinds of friction often occurred between trainees, and there were even rumors of male trainees touching female trainees in the bathroom.
However, all of this was under control. No one dared to openly challenge the discipline of Polar night.
It was already late at night. The exhaustion of the day had caused the trainees to fall into a deep sleep. A closed dormitory door suddenly opened with a click. The trainees who were sleeping soundly inside did not notice it at all.
A black shadow slowly walked down the aisle between the beds. His whole body was shrouded in darkness, and a silver steam pistol was thrown up and down like a toy.
"Pa-da —"
The footsteps stopped abruptly. The pause was only for a moment, and then the sound of a fist breaking through the air intertwined with the ear-piercing whistle of the air column!
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
Usually, such a close range shot would not deviate, but the tower-like teenager lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. An extreme sense of danger woke him up from his sleep. Then, he almost reflexively got up, threw a punch, and then spun in the air.
Li Xiang lowered his eyelashes slightly, and his left arm blocked Kuang Tie's fierce punch. The white air column shot a big hole in the bed, and blood splattered, sprinkling on the faces of the trainees who had already woken up.
"Ahhh —" The girl's scream pierced through the silent night.
"Shut up! Turn on the lights! "
Kuang Tie used the recoil of the punch to fall heavily on the screaming girl's bed. The inside of his right thigh was dripping with blood. Although he had successfully dodged, he was still scraped by the air column.
The blood stimulated his body. Kuang Tie slapped the girl in the face, and soon the trainees fumbled to turn on the lights.
At the same time, Li Xiang's figure moved again. In the process of the fight, he had already determined that Kuang Tie had also activated the Four Limbs Magic Circuit. That punch was not light, and now his left arm was a little sore. It might have hurt the bone.
There was still one more chance. There was one more second before the lights were turned on. He looked at Kuang Tie lying on the bed, and heard the girl's cries and the other trainees' roars mixed together.
"Shoot, shoot if you can!" Wild Iron picked up the cute girl on the bed with one hand and pulled her hair in front of him. His other hand covered his thigh that was bleeding with blood. He was hysterical, as if he was the real thug.
Li Xiang saw the girl's face clearly in the dark. Number 44 Ji Xue, the girl who leaned on him on the first day of training. At this moment, her face was distorted, and she was helpless. She was scared and cried, "Don't kill me."
The whistling of the wind suddenly rose.
Kuang Tie only heard the sound of the wind suddenly tighten in his ears, and then a swift shadow streaked across his cheek. His head was heavily kicked, and with a buzzing sound, he lost control of his body and flew out of the bed with Ji Xue in his hand.
It was simple, cold, and like a flying knife piercing the air.
Li Xiang's fierce kick first broke the brackets of the upper and lower bunk, and then it hit Kuang Tie's head. The brute force kicked both of them at the same time.
The lights were turned on.
The trainees ran to help Kuang Tie on the ground, but they were pushed away by him. Ji Xue, who was used as a shield, fainted. He stood up with difficulty and limped out of the dormitory, just in time to see a fast figure rushing down the dormitory stairs. Almost at the same time, he heard the sound of the iron door being opened.
When he realized that something was wrong and looked again, the black shadow had disappeared into the night.
"Li Xiang! I, Kuang Tie, swear that I will tear you to pieces! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill everyone related to you! I will kill your whole family! "
Kuang Tie held onto the railing and roared at the top of his lungs. No one dared to approach him. His earth-shattering roar almost woke up all the trainees who were sleeping soundly. Some of them looked angry, while others looked confused. Everyone came out of the dormitory, only to hear him repeat this sentence over and over again.
It was not until the fully armed mercenaries rushed down the stairs and held him down that he stopped roaring like a madman.
Han Shi, with a face full of displeasure, appeared in their room after a while. After asking several other trainees, he went to Li Xiang's room with a cold face. Soon Han Shi came back. He said nothing with a dark face and just ordered everyone to go back to sleep.
Kuang Tie, whose bed was broken, slept on Ji Xue's bed. But that night, he did not sleep again.
The next morning, a group of trainees was a little dispirited. After breakfast, they went to the training field. Many people looked at the field of Class 1, as if they were waiting for a good show.
Li Xiang and Kuang Tie, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened last night. There was no conflict as expected.
Even Li Xiang's face was full of energy, as if what happened last night really had nothing to do with him.
The rare noise of Polar night was restored to calm when several drillmasters came in with dark faces.
If it wasn't for Kuang Tie's leg being inconvenient and the smashed bed, they would have suspected that nothing had happened.
The daily training went on as usual, but last night's incident had angered several instructors. Everyone's training volume had increased by a lot. Lunch time was definitely delayed. It was not until the morning training was over that the instructors gathered all the trainees to talk about last night's incident.
"Amazing, amazing. Attacking other trainees at night! After ten years of Polar night trainees, this is the first time I've seen such a thing. " Han Shi clapped his hands, his smile full of sarcasm. When he passed by Li Xiang and Kuang Tie, he deliberately paused. "You really gave me a good topic, haha."
"I know, many people are waiting for the results of last night's incident. Very well, I'll tell you what the results are now. Class 1's second in sequence, No. 10, claimed that he was attacked by No. 8, the first in sequence, with a gun. The other seven trainees in the same dormitory proved that. But other than that, we didn't find any other witnesses. At the same time, No. 8's dormitory trainees can provide alibis. Of course, I won't listen to a single word from you little bastards who sleep together every day! "
Han Shi shuttled back and forth in the queue, his voice dull. "The most important killing tool, your so-called steam pistol, I couldn't find it anywhere. I searched No. 8's bed and all the places where it could be hidden. Of course, this also includes the black boxes of everyone in the Mechanics class. I can tell every one of you that No. 8's black box contains the steam pistol he made. Furthermore, it's not even a finished product. If he wants to use it to kill someone, he'll have to be crazy! Or do you think he has made two steam pistols? Haha??? "
The last laugh obviously had a strong sense of sarcasm, and it was almost directed at Kuang Tie.
At this point, many trainees no longer doubted Li Xiang. In one class, he made two steam pistols without anyone noticing. He even took one out. Then, he figured out Kuang Tie's habits and opened the iron door and dormitory door that couldn't be opened silently. After the failed attack, he calmly escaped, hid the gun, and went back to the dormitory to sleep.
If anything went wrong during this period of time, he was dead meat.
If it weren't for the fact that Han Shi and the others had confirmed that there were guns in the dormitory, they would have suspected that this was a self-written and self-directed play by Kuang Tie.
But no matter what, there was no evidence or effective accusation. It was unreasonable to say that the innocent Li Xiang was a criminal. Something like this wouldn't happen in the Polar night.
"You, on the other hand, were wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves all night. Do you have the energy to vent?" Han Shi slapped Kuang Tie's face heavily. "Today, your training will be doubled, and thanks to you, our Origin Substance absorption in the afternoon will be after Class 2."
When Han Shi said this, Li Xiang, who was in front of Kuang Tie, blinked.
"Just … like that?" Kuang Tie's throat moved, and a low, ear-piercing sound came from his mouth.
"Don't be so shameless." Han Shi slapped his face again, then slowly walked off into the distance.
This time, the daily training during the day had increased by quite a bit. The cries of moaning persisted for a long time. However, they were not as pampered as they were when they first came in. None of the trainees who had survived until now were easy to deal with.
Even Ji Xue, who had fainted last night, seemed to be a different person today. She didn't seem to have changed at all after being used as a target by Kuang Tie.
During the Origin Substance absorption in the afternoon, Li Xiang arrived in front of the forbidden area and watched as the people from Class 2 walked in one by one. Only then did his expression change slightly.
His palms were sweaty. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous. He just didn't like having a poisonous snake watching him at all times. In addition, he had seen Chen Fan almost die, so he had decided to make a move.
Li Xiang wiped his hands on his pants. He had hesitated in the end. If he had opened fire at that time and taken Ji Xue with him, he might have been able to kill the Kuang Tie. Of course, he might have also been able to avoid disaster, but the chances of that happening were still higher.
He counted down the seconds in his heart. When the ten minutes were up, the mercenaries on guard relaxed, and he walked directly to the Origin Substance decomposition room in the first place.
When he walked past the Origin Substance decomposition room that had always belonged to him, Ji Yanqing happened to walk out, her entire body covered in sweat.
She tied up her long hair with one hand, preparing to tie it up. When she saw Li Xiang walk over, she revealed a brilliant smile.
"Congratulations, you've been promoted by one." Ji Yanqing tugged at the tight prison uniform in front of her chest. Li Xiang was stunned.
"You've been demoted?"
"Yes, Ming Xu is the same as you. He's been promoted by one."
Li Xiang's heart skipped a beat. After calmly greeting Ji Yanqing, he continued to walk deeper into the room. The wind whistled through the forest and the occasional chirping of birds could be heard. The scorching sun above his head flickered in and out of existence.
"Man proposes, God disposes." Li Xiang walked slowly, simulating all possible scenarios. Soon, he arrived in front of the Origin Substance decomposition room.
Ming Xu sat on a large metal pipe outside the Origin Substance decomposition machine, swinging his snow-white feet back and forth. He wasn't wearing any shoes.
When he saw Su Chen walk over, he jumped down from the pipe. The two of them glanced at each other. Ming Xu walked in front of Su Chen and suddenly patted his chest. It was bulging, as if he was hiding something.
“.....”
“.....”
The two of them were silent. Then, Ming Xu quietly left. Li Xiang couldn't guess what she was going to do, but the only thing he was sure of was that she had helped him hide this matter.
