While Xu Jintang and his group had already found the second supply point, Lei Wenche and his group were still disgustedly cleaning themselves off the foul-smelling liquid that had gotten on them.
" Captain Lei, you still smell..." The team member said awkwardly, covering his nose.
With a dark expression, Lei Wenche took out another bottle of water, poured it onto his arm, and began to scrub.
"It's possible that the foul-smelling liquid is quite viscous and can't be washed off with water alone," the team member said, pinching his nose and forcing a smile.
Lei Wenche's expression worsened.
He gritted his teeth and forced out, "They're the first group of people to dare play me like this."
The teammates next to them exchanged glances, but none of them dared to say a word.
After a while, the red light marker in the distance gradually dimmed, and its luster faded.
" Captain Lei, they've taken the second supply location too. Shouldn't we... hurry up?"
Lei Wenche snapped out of his thoughts, took off his shirt, and threw it on the ground. "Let's go, let's go seize the third location."
After successfully taking control of the two resources, Xu Jintang immediately announced a retreat back to the city.
"Aren't we going to take the supplies from the third location? Wouldn't that give the other side a way out?" Song Tianqi asked, scratching his head.
"The third supply depot is far from us. By now, Lei Wenche's side has probably finished dealing with the stench, and they'll definitely arrive faster than us. There's no need to fight them head-on," Xu Jintang explained simply.
Song Tianqi nodded and raised his arm to signal, "Alright, everyone prepare to retreat!"
Outside the simulated battlefield at this moment.
The expressions on the faces of Jing Hongyi and the other leaders were quite interesting.
Wang Yile broke the silence first. "There are only seven hours left until the end of the third day. Which side are you all on now?"
All eyes turned to Jing Hongyi, waiting for his answer.
Jing Hongyi smiled slightly, his tone quite composed. "Currently, it seems the trainee army has a better chance of winning."
"Logically speaking, regular military personnel should be of a higher rank and shouldn't be in such a disadvantageous position," someone muttered quietly.
Gu Xiuwen had been silent all along, suddenly interjected. "That's because the people leading the trainee troops are unpredictable, completely disrupting Lei Wenche's expectations."
These words immediately drew everyone's attention to Xu Jintang.
"I must say, the ideas in this trainee soldier named Xu Jintang's head are truly baffling."
"Drilling a spring is a pretty tricky thing to do."
"That gas attack later on... was quite tricky too."
"Hahaha, the Command Camp needs this kind of unconventional talent. Which military academy did Xu Jintang go to again?"
Gu Xiuwen added casually, " Leikedasi's."
Several leaders raised their eyebrows. "No wonder, they're talents trained by the First Military Academy."
Chapter 171
Within a simulated battlefield.
The third supply distribution point.
" Captain Lei, all the supplies here are intact; there shouldn't be any traps left," the team member in charge of searching the crates reported, turning around.
Lei Wenche hummed in agreement. "Move everything out and head straight back to the camp."
The teammate next to him coughed lightly, lowered his head slightly, moved to the side, and touched the tip of his nose. "Yes."
It's probably because the foul-smelling liquid was too sticky; Captain Lei, but no one can show too much disgust, so they can only tough it out.
Lei Wenche noticed his teammate's unease and angrily waved his hand, "You guys go first, I'll go deal with this."
The team members nodded quickly, "Yes."
It was noon.
The scorching sun beat down, and the outdoor temperature soared to seventy degrees Celsius, making it impossible for ordinary living things to survive in such an environment.
However, insects such as beetles and euglena, which live in such high-temperature environments year-round, become more active due to the rising temperatures.
"Come line up to collect supplies. The special ice source can cool you down, so please remember to bring it with you."
"Each team should receive one heatstroke first-aid kit, to be used only in emergencies."
While the team members were distributing supplies, Xu Jintang used his supernatural ability to reinforce the ice layer on the main city's buildings once more.
"Squad leader, I reckon they're going to launch a full-scale attack tonight. What's our plan?" Song Tianqi asked curiously as he leaned closer.
Xu Jintang withdrew his hand and turned to look at him. "If you were to attack the city, where would you start?"
Song Tianqi was confused and didn't reply for a long time.
Feng Ruihan interjected promptly, "If I were Lei Wenche, I would attack the Armament Camp myself first. Lei Wenche's mental strength is at level Sixth Tier; none of us here can defeat him alone. But if the Armament Camp's weapons are activated and hit, they are very likely to eliminate him. So, to solve the problem, we should deal with the one who poses the greatest threat to him first."
Song Tianqi scratched his head, "Then we need to strengthen the defenses of the Armament Camp?"
"No need, just continue patrolling as scheduled. Let Xue Zhongqi handle him." Xu Jintang waved his hand casually.
These words made Song Tianqi realize what was happening.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about Brother Xue. It's alright then."
Unaware of the situation, Feng Ruihan was stunned. " Lei Wenche is Sixth Tier cultivator. If he really sneaks into the Armament Camp, the entire camp might be wiped out."
The biggest threat to the Armament Camp comes from its missile launchers, but the combat capabilities of the team members themselves are absolutely no match for Lei Wenche.
Song Tianqi gave him a reassuring look, "Don't be afraid, Brother Xue is here."
Feng Ruihan looked even more bewildered.
"It's just a pity that Brother Xue has to die again," Song Tianqi said casually, his hands behind his head.
The two camps remained very harmonious throughout the afternoon.
There was a sense of calm before the storm.
Until night slowly fell.
"Bite--"
Friendly reminder: There are five hours left until the end of this assessment.
The notification tone broke the existing tranquility.
Formal military barracks area.
Lei Wenche stood at the forefront of the main force, "Everyone prepare for a full-scale attack tonight! All team operations will be commanded by the captain of each team."
A thunderous reply rang out, "Yes!"
Lei Wenche stood ramrod straight, raised his hand in a military salute, and said, "Wishing you all the best."
After saying that, he withdrew his hand and walked away first.
All the regular military personnel stood at attention and saluted, watching his figure disappear from sight.
The patrol teams and security measures in the main urban area are extremely tight.
The team members had to be rotated almost every ten minutes, and at the same time, the defensive shield's defense value was also set to the maximum.
Lei Wenche pressed his body against the outer wall, glancing at the patrol activities of the team members inside.
Having learned from his previous experience with the sneak attack, he acted even more decisively this time.
Taking advantage of the patrol team's shift change, Lei Wenche slowly raised his hands, and instantly, a bolt of lightning flashed down from the dark night sky, striking the protective shield above.
"Boom--"
The thunderous roar immediately alerted the patrol team.
"Enemy attack! Everyone be careful!"
The protective shield was instantly shattered by the thunder and slowly detached to both sides.
Lei Wenche slipped into the city amidst the chaos, moving so quickly that he went unnoticed.
The Armament Camp is located in the western part of the main city.
Due to the sudden rupture of the protective shield, many people rushed into the workshop to begin emergency repairs.
Lei Wenche hid in a secluded corner and swiftly struck when a teammate was isolated.
Before the team member could even cry for help, he was knocked unconscious.
Lei Wenche dragged the unconscious teammate to a corner and quickly stripped him of his military uniform.
A few minutes later, Lei Wenche, having changed his clothes, emerged from the corner disguised as a trainee soldier.
He lowered his head slightly and walked quickly toward the Armament Camp's operations room.
When entering the operating room, there was a facial recognition requirement. He followed closely behind a trainee soldier, trying to sneak in amidst the chaos. However, as soon as he stepped over the threshold, the scanner next to him began to scan him.
Within two seconds, the scanner emitted a buzzing alarm.
"Unauthorized personnel have entered the system. Alert mode activated."
The warning light installed at the top of the control room immediately shone on Lei Wenche.
The teammate who was originally standing next to Lei Wenche immediately realized what was happening and quickly distanced himself from him, shouting, "Who are you!"
Immediately afterwards, more trainee soldiers rushed over and surrounded Lei Wenche.
Everyone held weapons in their hands, their faces filled with vigilance.
Xue Zhongqi, who was in the workshop control room, rushed out, shouting, "Who goes there!"
He had a stern face and spoke in a harsh tone.
In a short period of time, Lei Wenche was surrounded by layers of trainee soldiers.
He coldly surveyed the crowd around him, slowly raising his hands, his palms already quietly gathering spiritual power.
Lightning flowed through his palm.
The trainee soldiers around him realized he was about to attack, immediately took a half step back, and raised their infrared electronic guns. "You're surrounded. If you don't want to be eliminated, give up the fight now."
A cold glint flashed in Xue Zhongqi's eyes. "No need to waste words, just attack!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly activated his supernatural power, and a shimmering Starlight Scepter slowly appeared in front of him.
A large amount of spiritual energy was rapidly poured into the Starlight Scepter, fully activating the starlight within it.
--Soul Sharing.
After the skill effect was activated, a Starlight Chain slowly extended from the top of the Starlight Scepter.
Lei Wenche also made his move at the same time.
A ball of lightning instantly condensed in his palm. His eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and swiftly waved it in all directions, sending the lightning streams towards the surrounding trainee soldiers.
The trainee soldiers also opened fire.
The fierce battle between the two sides began instantly.
At this moment, Lei Wenche's Sixth Tier strength was revealed. Although there were more trainee soldiers, the attacks had no effect on Lei Wenche at all.
