Recap
The middle-aged man placed the brass bird whistle on the table and sighed heavily: “I’m going into the mountains.”
“Now?”
He nodded. “They are too scary. If you are willing, come with me. Those people… they are not humans. If they find us, we’re done. If we hide in the mountains, we can still find some food and not be afraid of starving to death.”
Ji Xinghai understood the middle-aged man’s intentions. To an ordinary person, it is not easy to survive. But Ji Xinghai is not going to go into the mountains. The enemy is at the bottom of the mountain, and the division is also at the bottom of the mountain.
After living in several worlds, he has developed a strong sense of determination to win.

The middle-aged man didn’t dare to stay for a moment and left overnight. Ji Xinghai gave him the hunter’s axe for self-defense. After that, he sorted out his supplies, closed the door, bolted it, and laid on the fur coat left by the hunter.
The human body needs rest. In the past, he didn’t care and dared to try everything, which made him sick. Now he has found the “medicine” and needs to take good care of himself.
Instance time, eleven o’clock.
The hunter’s hut was filled with shallow breathing sounds, the red hound lay silently at the door, asleep. The mountain was very quiet.
But at about three o’clock in the morning of the next day, the students got up one after another, and the forest woke up.
“Reminder sound virtual props? Who moved the instance progress last night?” The students saw this unexpected surprise: “It’s amazing; with only 24 hours of preparation time, someone managed to push the main line of the instance.”
They thought of the students who were walking down the mountain against their path, and they should be those people.
“Fortunately, they are not enemies. Their progress should be several steps faster, right?”
In fact, the situation is more complicated than these students guessed.
The students who had entered the village and hid in the houses did push the instance line forward, but that was all.
Because the enemy was violent, most of the students’ attempts failed, and only a few of them stole some artillery and escaped successfully.
“There seems to be no other way except to lay low. Once we show our heads, we will be discovered by the enemies in the bunkers. We can only wait until night to act again.” The students who stayed in the village thought to themselves.
Now they envy the students who specially made traps in the mountains to wait for the enemy. The mountains and forests are more beneficial to weak students. Moreover, a large amount of food can be obtained in the mountains and forests without having to work hard to find the remaining grains in the ruins.
Ji Xinghai also got up. After he met his physiological needs, he took the light machine gun ammunition and pistol and set off.
The task prompt said that the clearing action would start at 6 o’clock, but it was impossible for the enemy to take action at 6 o’clock. The early bird gets the worm, all the students have to prepare earlier.
The sky was still gray and dark, but it was better than at night, and the terrain could barely be seen clearly.
Ji Xinghai gave up the path and went to the main road made of big stones in the mountains to find the best ambush location.
Those people did not have the ability to train their own army. Most of them were mercenaries. They were not united and would definitely act separately. The mercenaries could not walk on the muddy path with guns in their hands. They could only walk on this main road. It was the most appropriate place to ambush.
He just doesn’t know if there is a lamp following.
The Taotie Food Sutra has been refreshed, and a monster named “Qingdeng”* has appeared.
Qingdeng, a variation of the soul-guiding lamp, is said to have a green spiritual fire that can guide and resurrect the dead. It tastes like aloe vera jelly, is cool and tasteless, and can repair mental damage after eating.
*(directly translates to green lantern)
“No, it’s all rumors!” Qingdeng was very angry and hid.
Note: Then why are you hiding?
It is noon in Ninth State now, and everyone is watching live videos while eating. They also discovered new ingredients early—ugh, new remains of abnormal creatures.
It is a fluorescent jelly cube, which can really be used as a lamp in the dark. The special “radioactive material” looks poisonous and cannot be eaten.
However, Ninth State has never lacked people who are courting death over food. Since they are not afraid of poisonous mushrooms, how can they let go of the jelly that says “edible”?
People who have eaten it commented: It is cool and melts in the mouth, like fish scale jelly without a fishy smell. The feeling after eating is the same as drinking a bottle of energy drink. The whole person is very energetic, and the effect lasts for half an hour.
Now the Qingdeng jelly has entered the laboratory, and the official has not yet said what it is like.
However, there are already various ways to eat Qingdeng jelly among the people. Pouring cream, condensed milk and sprinkling nuts is the most common; pouring soy sauce and garlic paste can also be used; and some people have even developed a method of chopping it into pieces to make it the main ingredient of cold skin.
When it comes to eating, people in Ninth State are really too bold.
At around 4 o’clock in the morning, the sky was dim, and the sound of birds began to appear in the mountains. First one, then several, and then a flock.
White smoke floated down the mountain, and there was a sound in the distance, which seemed to be the sound of a transport vehicle starting. Ji Xinghai did not stick his head out to look; he was touching a protruding, large natural stone.
This was a natural marble. He tried to smash it, but not even a fragment fell off.
The stone was very large, with pine trees of appropriate density in front to block it and a space for one person to hide in the back. There were dense bushes on both sides, which could be used for attack and retreat. It was a natural bunker and an excellent ambush site.
“This is it.” The conditions here are the best, and there are two other places that can be used as alternatives.
Ji Xinghai weaved grass leaves into grass rings and used the remaining leaves to make the simplest grass leaf cloak, all of which were draped over his body. After that, he set up a light machine gun, hid himself and the gun in the green grass, and began to wait motionlessly.
[So nervous, so nervous.]
Ji Xinghai, lurking behind the marble, was motionless, and the audience in front of the screen held their breath for him.
The students who chose to stay on the mountain spent a day making rolling stone traps and fallen wood traps. The students from the neighboring S country also captured many cobras and set up snake venom traps. But, to be honest, everyone was still looking forward to Ji Xinghai’s performance.
Mostly because that was a player who killed and took the lives of an abnormal monster. People abroad even suspected that Ji Xinghai was the official student of Ninth State and that Zhang Ziqing was a smoke bomb.
Zhang Ziqing: Are you joking?
At five o’clock, the sky was turning white, and birds chirped and preyed on early-rising insects. The noise at the foot of the mountain was getting louder and louder, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and the audience was getting more and more nervous.
In the distance, gray shadows appeared, which were large green trucks and enemies holding guns and shouting on the trucks.
These people looked very scattered, whether in terms of equipment, clothing, or the overall feeling they gave people. But they are fierce, tanned-skinned, and covered with scars, which makes people feel that they are not easy to mess with.
Ji Xinghai stood there motionless; of course he could not see it, but the audience could switch the perspectives of different students, and they could see it clearly.
Fuck, I saw the infantry artillery, a powerful weapon. There is also mountain artillery! There are also many heavy and light machine guns. Are they here to capture civilians or to fight? Damn, these people are so well equipped.
[If they are really unarmed civilians, they really have only one option, which is to escape into the mountains.]
In fact, they are all obsolete and cannot be compared with the regular army. [Of course, it is enough to control the villagers.]
There are no abnormal creatures involved in the plot line. If one takes a look at the surroundings, one will find that it looks like the chaotic area brawl that often appears in movies and TV dramas.
The headquarters of various countries have also been staring at the research, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time. When they saw Qingdeng yesterday, they thought that the Hungry Academy was not human again. The first exam did not even give an adaptation period and directly went to the nightmare version with a high degree of abnormal creatures involved.
“It’s OK at the moment. It’s a level that the students can handle.”
“That’s right.”
“The abnormal creatures mainly appear at night, probably to fill the weakness of the enemy NPCs that are easily ambushed. If the students get a large number of artillery through sneak attacks, then the difficulty of this exam will be lower. After all, they are mercenaries of illegal organizations, not regular troops.”
“That makes sense.”
The leaders of various countries all think that the difficulty is not high and they can give it a try. From the perspective of the audience, they think this is another difficult level.
The number of enemies is too large, and the gap in weapon strength between the two sides is so huge.
The viewers analyzed the scenes where the students were and noted that there were about 100 people each on 5 different mountains. Together with the students that stayed in the base camp, the enemy had at least more than 600 people.
One of the teams has already arrived at the mountain where Ji Xinghai is.
More than 100 people were divided into five groups and they went up the mountain using different paths. About 20 of them are assigned to the road where Ji Xinghai is.
He has heard the sound, but his body is still motionless. The flying insects falling on the tip of his nose cause a little itchiness.
“Damn bugs, I’m going to catch them all.”
“Keep your voice down.”
“What are you afraid of? They’re all cowards; they’re scared to death when they see us.”
The mountain road is difficult to walk on, and these people have no intention of hiding their movements. Ji Xinghai judged from the sound that the enemy was at least more than 20 people.
The mountain road is narrow, and the team will be difficult to ambush if they are stretched out in a long line.
He needs to find a good opportunity.
Ji Xinghai held the gun and slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm.
At 6:15 in the examination room, the students who pushed down the rolling stones on the south mountain fired the first shot. As long as they are capable, they are unwilling to only get the 60-point minimum guarantee of “surviving to the end.”.
Then killing the enemy is the best way to increase the score.
‘Ding, the enemy is approaching.’ The prompt sound started, and the enemy had entered the range of 100 meters.
“Here… Here…”
Ji Xinghai stared at the approaching enemy through the gap between the leaves.
There are no green lanterns, only people. If the regular army came, they would advance in groups of three and cover each other. And there was a certain distance between the groups to ensure that when the first group was attacked, the second group could immediately support it.
Although this was slower, it could protect the team to a greater extent.
But this team acted independently and had no intention of teamwork, which made it convenient for Ji Xinghai.
The section of road that Ji Xinghai chose was a relatively open, straight section, and he was in the middle of the section. With him as the center point, all people in this section were within the fan-shaped diagram of his blocking range.
The enemy was in the dark, and Ji Xinghai had the advantage.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Shooting sounds came from other sections of the road, and birds flew up from the mountains and forests in panic, and there was a black mass. The walking enemy paused and said with a relaxed expression, “I was preempted.”
“Are you open there? How many bugs did you kill? Leave some for me.”
“Get lost.”
Listening to the voice on the other end of the walkie-talkie, they laughed.
Although these people held guns in their hands, they were not fully in combat mode.
Ji Xinghai was still waiting. What he did not lack the most was patience.
The sound of bird wings flapping rang in his ears. He saw a black bird from the corner of his eye that landed on a tree on the right and looked at him with red eyes.
Ji Xinghai smelled a faint smell of blood, which was a sweet smell similar to that of blood clams, and it was not unpleasant.
“Caw!” The black bird shouted, singing a funeral song for the upcoming death.
