Chapter 158 Back to the World 1: The Future
The forest was exceptionally quiet at night, the moonlight filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows that seemed eerie. The five-man team cautiously groped their way forward, weapons tightly gripped, and vigilantly observing their surroundings.
Finally, they arrived at the water source and found a relatively secluded place to hide. After an afternoon of traveling, everyone felt exhausted, so they decided to rest here for a while while waiting for the King-level Star Beast to appear.
While waiting, Yin Zui opened his bracelet, looked at the panoramic map and notes, and carefully studied the next action plan. Their goal this time was not only to complete the mission, but more importantly to participate in the selection competition, so they had to obtain enough credits.
According to school regulations, they needed to earn half the required credits for graduation, or 490.5 points. Excluding the 300 points from the basic course, they had already passed the exams and earned 300 credits, leaving them with 190.5 points to go. They had previously slain many primary and intermediate-level star beasts, as well as several advanced ones, which added up to nearly 200 points. If they could successfully hunt this king-level star beast, they would have enough credits.
Of course, if they couldn't defeat this King-level Star Beast, they could also choose to find some more Primary Full Moon Star Beasts to make up for the points. After all, these Star Beasts had strong reproductive abilities and were numerous, so they would always find enough targets.
Time ticked by, and soon it was 2:30 AM. The team members grabbed their weapons and began to prepare for battle. Although the full moon star beasts usually emerged between 3 and 4 AM, they had to be prepared in advance to avoid being caught off guard. Everyone stared nervously and intently at the water source, anticipating the appearance of the king-level star beast.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when everyone was about to give up, a slight sound suddenly came.
All five of them held their breath, their eyes fixed on the patch of grass not far ahead.
Sure enough, less than a minute later, a round head popped out from the grass.
This full moon star beast was much smaller than they had imagined. It was only half a meter tall and covered with fur, like a little white bear. It parted the grass and ran out unsteadily with its short legs.
The Full Moon Star Beast trotted all the way to the lake, then dived into the water without hesitation.
It swam happily in the water, occasionally making a satisfied humming sound.
Once it was completely immersed in the joy of playing in the water, Yin Zui glanced at Qi Le, who understood and pressed the button without hesitation. Following his action, four thick beams of light shot out from the ground, quickly encircling the Full Moon Star Beast like giant steel pythons.
At the same time, Qi Yi piloted an unmanned aircraft over the Full Moon Star Beast. The beam from its aircraft precisely aligned with Qi Le's beam, quickly connecting. In the blink of an eye, a high-intensity energy grid formed in mid-air, tightly trapping the Full Moon Star Beast within.
This electric net was not only incredibly strong, but it could also release a powerful electric current. When the Full Moon Star Beast was trapped in the net, the electric net conducted through the river water, directly giving it a powerful electric shock.
The Full Moon Star Beast screamed in pain and struggled desperately to climb out of the water. However, just as it climbed onto land, a sharp arrow shot into its leg like lightning. Before the Full Moon Star Beast could recover from the shock, another arrow shot into its arm.
The Full Moon Star Beast was furious, raging with rage. It opened its bloody mouth to the sky, ready to launch a sonic attack. But Yin Zui didn't give it a chance. She decisively raised her spear, aimed at the Full Moon Star Beast's gaping mouth, and pulled the trigger. A bullet pierced the Full Moon Star Beast's mouth at astonishing speed. At the same time, Chao Zhuyi also fired a laser bullet, which landed accurately in the Full Moon Star Beast's mouth.
Xu Guanqi put away his bow and arrow and calmly threw several special sound shields into the electric fence. These shields could effectively block the loud noise produced by the explosion, making it impossible for people outside to hear the movement inside.
In an instant, a dull explosion sounded, but it was successfully shielded by the electric grid and not a single sound was heard.
After everything calmed down, Yin Zui, the temporary team leader, took out a bottle of elimination liquid and sprayed it on the remains of the Full Moon Star Beast and the surrounding environment.
Everyone gathered their tools and weapons and gathered themselves on a riverbank away from the water source, washing their blackened faces. Yin Zui, carrying his bag with one hand and throwing it over his shoulder, said to the others, "Mission accomplished! Let's go back to base camp!"
The team's exclusive guards watched the entire battle process at the base camp, nodding with satisfaction as they watched.
"It's great that District C has children like this in its future."
"We haven't received any special training, and this is our first time working as a team, but we've been able to work together so well. Great, fantastic!"
"Confident, determined, and calm, this is what our youth in District C should be like."
The guards were very impressed with the five people and after sending them back to school, they praised them highly when they returned to the team.
The video of the five men fighting side by side quickly spread throughout the C-Zone Alliance. The old executive officer and Marshal Yin sat together, watching the video over and over again, dozens of times.
The old executive officer's eyes were filled with admiration. "Old Yin, can't your drunk girl stay in the team as a commander?"
"Haha, young people all have their own ideas. I hope Xiaozui can have more contact with the outside world and pursue what she really loves. Moreover, the Yin family has trained enough outstanding executives, and we should give other children some opportunities." Marshal Yin replied with a smile.
The old executive nodded in understanding and then asked, "This kid Zhu Yi is probably on the battlefield for the first time, right?"
"Yes." Marshal Yin gave an affirmative answer.
"Judging from her performance, I'm sure Min Ji put a lot of thought into this." The old executive said with a smile, "It seems that the boy is finally willing to let Zhu Yi go out for training."
"The other three kids are pretty good too, especially Xu Guanqi. I can tell his character is stronger than the other four." Marshal Yin stared closely at Xu Guanqi in the video, a hint of doubt in his eyes. "He feels very familiar to me."
The old executive nodded and agreed, "Indeed." Although he felt the same way, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, the most important thing now was to focus on the abilities and potential of these children.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Xie is working on marine ecological protection, and these kids have the same goal. If they all pass the assessment, maybe we can set up a team just for them." Marshal Yin said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking!" the old executive officer agreed. "But we still have to see how they perform. If they can really form a team, it would be a great thing for Area C."
Marshal Yin picked up the documents beside him and said with a smile, "It seems that we two old men are in sync. Marine protection is urgent, and the Star Alliance is already preparing a plan."
The old executive officer sighed, "Alas—given the current situation, the Star Alliance can't keep this a secret for much longer. We two old bones can't hold out for much longer. I just hope the children can shoulder the responsibility of the future of Area C."
Marshal Yin patted his shoulder comfortingly and said firmly, "Yes. If we persist and work hard, we will definitely be able to train a group of outstanding young people."
