“I saw the arm patch that was exposed when you were attacked, returned to the prison, and rolled on the ground.” Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said, “It looked very delicate.”

The Er Wei in front said, “That’s the symbol of the Midnight Army.”

Jiang Xiao took the opportunity to ask, “Aren’t you supposed to appear in a group of four? I only saw you and that man, and later you were fighting alone.”

Er Wei responded indifferently, “It used to be four. The Star Technique attributes of this mercenary are destined to allow him to exert a stronger effect in team battles, so we had to lure him out.”

Jiang Xiao continued to probe, “What exactly are these guys trying to do in our Huaxia?”

“The Xueyuan (snowfield) base in Jiannan Village is rich in resources and stable in condition, contributing basic Star Bead resources to the country every minute and every second. The level of development here is very high, and it is also a training base for low-level awakeners. Some people don’t want to see such a stable other-dimensional space maintained for a long time.”

Hearing Er Wei's answer, Jiang Xiao sighed deeply. He relied on Er Wei's deliberate wooing to obtain this information. The deeper meaning hidden behind these words was undoubtedly that the other party wanted to destroy this Xueyuan.

So, Jiang Xiao's reasoning and analysis were correct. This Xueyuan other-dimensional space could really collapse.

“How are they going to cause trouble? By killing the low-level trainees here?” Jiang Xiao said pretentiously, “It doesn’t seem to be that profitable.”

Er Wei suddenly stopped, and Jiang Xiao almost bumped into her back.

He only heard Er Wei's hoarse voice, “Your petty cleverness is misplaced.”

“Uh…” Jiang Xiao scratched his head and said with a smile, “How can the Xueyuan be collapsed? What exactly are you guarding?”

“Therefore,” Er Wei turned around, looked down at Jiang Xiao, and said, “You have to follow me.”

“The college entrance exam… let’s talk about it after the college entrance exam.” Jiang Xiao took a step back. Before the relationship was completely familiar, Jiang Xiao still tried to be less cheeky.

“I said, that’s a waste of time.” Er Wei was wearing tight camouflage clothing, looking a little ridiculous, but she didn't seem to realize it, and her expression was still very serious, which made Jiang Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing.

“We are a team of four, and the team members are very good to me. I have to see them off. I can’t delay their future because of me.” Jiang Xiao replied规规矩矩.

Er Wei seemed to finally hear a reliable word from Jiang Xiao’s mouth. She nodded and said, “I’ll wait for you for nine months.”

What for?

Gestation?

I can't have children.

Jiang Xiao瘪了瘪mouth and said, "I'm just saying I'll consider it. I haven't seen the outside world yet. I still want to go to college. You want me to be with you in the snow after I graduate from high school?"

As soon as Jiang Xiao finished speaking, he knew it was bad.

It's over,

His true nature was exposed!

Would she tear him to pieces with one claw?

Jiang Xiao subconsciously took two steps back, looking carefully at the beast in front of him, his intestines were almost green with regret.

Unexpectedly, Er Wei was not angry, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

This was the first time Jiang Xiao had seen a smile on that cold face. Although the amplitude was small, it was indeed a smile.

Jiang Xiao was really fed up with this fickle and moody woman.

There was no pattern at all, and it was impossible to figure it out.

Please, be a normal person.

“Flowery world, huh.” Er Wei slowly turned around,喃喃輕聲in her mouth, and strode forward.

Jiang Xiao didn’t know why her sense of humor was so strange.

What’s wrong with the flowery world?

Is it that funny?

Er Wei反复喃喃this word, chewing and pondering it with relish. After a long while, she suddenly said, “There are also many branches and teams in the Midnight Army. I am not the one who stays in the snow.”

Jiang Xiao immediately became interested and hurriedly asked, “What do you mean?”

“I roam in various other-dimensional spaces, above every Midnight Army team, providing them with help.” Er Wei responded in a hoarse voice, “For example, now.”

“You are a firefighter?” Jiang Xiao immediately reacted. They should have heard the news of the Xueyuan attack a long time ago, so they rushed over immediately to participate in the guarding mission.

But, since you heard the news in advance, why did you continue to keep the Xueyuan open?

Do you really not treat this group of low-level trainees in Huaxia as human beings?

Our lives are not lives?

Jiang Xiao欲言又止: “Since you knew in advance, then why…”

“If it’s closed, maybe they won’t come.” Er Wei was equally smart and understood what Jiang Xiao meant, “It is impossible to close here, not even for a minute or a second. We cannot afford such a loss.”

Jiang Xiao had been here three times, but he had never seen an official team hunting Star Beads. Maybe there were special routes and special locations.

Jiang Xiao nodded, “That’s right, even if it can be closed temporarily, it can’t be closed for a lifetime. This would only fulfill the enemy’s wishes.”

"Um. You don't need to go to college. Come find me in nine months."

Jiang Xiao was about to go crazy. Did this person know how to chat?

If I couldn't beat you, I would have long ago…

Er Wei’s footsteps stopped abruptly, and Jiang Xiao immediately stopped his inner碎碎念. Did this woman have some kind of mind-reading Star Technique?

Er Wei's nose耸了耸,轻轻嗅了嗅, then her expression became serious.

As a "little deaf and blind," Jiang Xiao had no idea what was happening.

He quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

“The smell of blood, very quiet, this place has been breached.” Er Wei strode forward.

Jiang Xiao hurriedly followed.

This place has been breached?

Where is this place?

I only know that we are in a Xueyuan.

The two walked quickly for dozens of seconds, and Jiang Xiao finally saw a tragic scene, and his heart sank to the bottom.

This environment, which should have been full of white snow and trees, was now extremely terrifying. The ground was covered with crisscrossing earth walls. The earth pillars, each in a different posture, were like giant pythons, covering the entire area.

Even more terrifying was that each and every headless corpse was tied to the high-raised, solidified earth pillars.

Some corpses were wrapped around the waist, some were directly pierced through the chest, and some even had their upper bodies submerged in the mud pillars, with only one thigh exposed.

Their deaths were different, but the only thing they had in common was that their heads were separated from their bodies. Some heads were torn apart and thrown on the ground like garbage, while others simply had no heads.

The dripping blood灑在snowfield and the earth, emitting a strong bloody smell.

Exposing corpses in the wilderness was perhaps the most humble way for a soldier to die.

“The battle has only ended recently, and a large group of white ghosts will come looking for us. Hurry up.” Er Wei said, jogging into the terrifying炼狱built of snow, blood, and mud.

The soldiers here were dressed differently. Some wore all-black Midnight Army uniforms, some wore Huaxia soldier camouflage uniforms, and some wore enemy mercenary uniforms.

With a rough calculation, in terms of quantity alone, Huaxia seemed to be the side with fewer losses.

But Jiang Xiao didn't think Huaxia had won. Otherwise, this stronghold should not have been abandoned.

Or, were they also afraid of the White Ghost attack and evacuated quickly?

Jiang Xiao's brain was spinning rapidly, and he followed Er Wei into a cave. Along the way, he saw another炼狱-like scene.

Corpses everywhere, blood and minced meat all over the walls.

So,

Is this what the world should look like?

Er Wei's expression was凝重. She couldn't find any signs of life. Intelligence was the vanguard of everything, which made her a little annoyed.

“Change clothes.” Er Wei came to a tall and strong mercenary and quickly stripped off the mercenary’s clothes.

“Mercenary clothes?” Jiang Xiao hurriedly asked.

"Um." Er Wei tore apart her "tight camouflage" and quickly put on the mercenary clothes. She looked around and picked up a tattered, blood-stained mask.

Clothes were easy to find, but masks were really hard to find, because after these people died, their heads were basically dug out to extract Star Beads.

"What's the plan?" Jiang Xiao asked.

"Can you speak Russian?" Er Wei's voice came muffled from behind the mask.

"No." Jiang Xiao said immediately.

"Um." Er Wei was not disappointed, but said, "After returning to school, learn a few foreign languages, just practice speaking, pay attention to correcting pronunciation. I will check in nine months."

Goodness gracious, this is terrible.

There's a pile of homework left at school,

When I come to Xueyuan, someone will also leave me homework?

Besides, did I agree to you? How come it's nine months?

You are too domineering, right?

You really have an exaggerated sense of self-importance.

I have to get into a college far away, far away from this woman.
