Chapter 257 Second Military Training Area
Soon, all the specially admitted students from the three provinces of Sichuan gathered together under the arrangement of the provincial officials.
At that moment, a young officer in his early thirties stepped out of the Starship's cabin.
The young officer glanced at the more than 1,000 special recruits from the three provinces of Sichuan and said in a cold tone, "I am Zhuo Nuo, a three-star general of the Northwest Front Army. I have been ordered by my superiors to take all the special recruits from Lanxing University in the three provinces of Sichuan to the Northwest Front to participate in military training."
The starship departs promptly at 10:00 AM. Everyone must board the starship before 9:50 AM; otherwise, it will be considered a forfeit of military training.
After saying this, the officer named Zhuonuo stepped off the starship. The Dongchuan Martial Arts Association rushed over to greet him and welcomed him back to the Martial Arts Association building to rest.
At the same time, Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the Dongchuan Martial Arts Association, stepped forward.
"Students, you are about to depart for the Northwest front. On the military training field, you must obey the command and dispatch of Chen Lie."
In addition, we have reached an agreement with Yunnan and Sichuan provinces that if any province fails to complete its military training tasks, other provinces will provide assistance in any way they can.
This time, a total of 1745 people from the three provinces of Sichuan were specially recruited by Blue Star University in advance.
We have 360 people in Dongchuan Province, 355 people in Xichuan Province, and 1030 people in Yunchuan Province.
The Starship can carry two thousand people, and it generally travels at a low speed of Mach 6 on Earth, about two kilometers per second. A journey of just over half an hour is enough to reach the Northwest Front.
Once you arrive at your destination, you must obey orders. The Northwest Front Army is different from us and the martial arts association in our province; they won't indulge martial arts geniuses.
If we fight those people, we won't get away with it.
Jiang Xiaodong kept reminding the students admitted through the special admissions program of important points.
Soon, it was 9:30, and the Northwest Army soldiers who were there to pick up the special recruits from Sichuan began urging them to board the starship.
Led by Chen Lie, more than 300 students admitted through special programs from Dongchuan Province boarded the airship through one of its cabin doors.
As Chen Lie boarded the airship, he met Ji Lingxuan, who had boarded on the other side of the starship.
Ji Lingxuan smiled slightly at Chen Lie, feeling grateful for his generous teaching of a cultivation method for the Refining Stage last time.
Just as she was about to greet him, Shen Miaowei, who was behind her, stepped forward quickly, smiling and waving to Chen Lie: "Hello, Mr. Chen Lie!"
Seeing this, Ji Lingxuan had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "We'll talk later. There are still many people boarding the starship."
"Okay!" Shen Miaowei nodded.
Chen Lie bid farewell to Shen Miaowei and sat down in a row of seats at the front of the starship.
Soon, all of the more than 1,000 specially admitted students from the three provinces of Sichuan boarded the Starship.
Seeing that everyone was seated properly, the young officer Zhuonuo took a tour of the starship.
The starship is enormous, crafted from special extraterrestrial steel. Although it is only a medium-sized starship, it is over 230 meters long, 40 meters wide, and nearly 60 meters high. It has three decks and can carry more than 3,000 people.
After inspecting the starship, Zhuonuo connected to the screen inside the starship and said, "The starship is about to take off. We will arrive at the outer perimeter of Kunlun Ruins in the Northwest before 11 o'clock."
There are four military training grounds around Kunlun Ruins, and you three provinces in central Sichuan have been assigned to the second military training area.
"Get ready, Starship will take off in ten minutes."
Chen Lie fastened his seatbelt in the first row.
Feng Shuangshuang, who was standing nearby, asked, "Is this used like this?"
Chen Lie said, "Yes, the starship is extremely fast, and there will be bumps along the way. The safety harness can help prevent it from shaking."
"oh."
Feng Shuangshuang nodded and fastened her safety harness as well.
She had never been on a starship before, not even once in her life.
It is said that one can travel across interstellar space in a starship to reach another planet, but that is too far away for her.
Seeing this, the others also fastened their safety belts.
Soon, the starship soared into the sky, reaching a height of ten thousand meters, and instantly vanished as a blur.
The parents outside the Martial Arts Association plaza watched the starship depart and lingered there for a long time.
In the crowd, Lu Qidong and Xu Yunyan spotted Chen Lie's parents.
Xu Yunyan quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Brother Chen, sister-in-law, you've come to see Chen Lie off too?"
"Yes, you've come to see Qingchan off?"
"Qingchan's blood energy has just broken 700 calories, and her combat experience is also average, unlike Chen Lie, who has won many first places in large-scale martial arts competitions."
Chen Lie will definitely be fine, you two don't need to worry about him.
"Since the establishment of the military training system, there has never been a case on Earth of a province's top student encountering danger during military training," Xu Yunyan said.
Chen Gequn smiled and said, "I hope so."
Xu Yunyan looked at Feng Yuelan and said, "Sister-in-law, when you get to Blue Star University, you must remind Chen Lie to get along with Qingchan."
These two kids have known each other for three years and are fairly familiar with each other. In this unfamiliar place on Earth, and since they're both from Dongchuan Province, they might even take things further.
"Okay, I will remind Chen Lie," Feng Yuelan replied.
At this moment, Lu Qidong said, "Brother Chen, last time I visited you at your house, you treated me to a meal. Today we just happened to meet, and you insisted that I treat you back."
Let's pick a good place and go now!
"Qidong, today is really not a good day."
"What's wrong, Brother Chen? You're so busy, you can't even spare this little bit of time?"
"No, I really have something to do. My nephew got into an accident. I don't know why, but I heard he got into a fight with a classmate and was seriously injured. He'll have to stay in bed for two months."
"My father notified me, and I was told to go see him," Chen Gequn said.
"Oh? It's that serious?"
"Yes, the college entrance exam is about to begin. If the injury is really that serious, it may delay the exam."
Lu Qidong nodded: "We'll have to take a look. Let's get together again next time!"
"good!"
On the other side, Chen Lie boarded a starship, which was faster than he had imagined. In half an hour, it traversed most of the planet and arrived at the northwest front.
The starship slowly descended and landed on a flat area between mountains.
At the same time, all eight hatches on both sides of the Starship opened simultaneously.
"We've arrived at the Northwest Front! Everyone, get down!"
The announcement rang out inside the Starship.
Chen Lie unfastened his safety belt and jumped off the starship through the nearest hatch.
More than a thousand specially admitted students from the three provinces of Sichuan and Chongqing poured off the airship.
As soon as Chen Lie came down, he saw that he was in a large training ground with a sign next to him that read "Second Military Training Area".
Just then, alarms blared throughout the training ground, and a voice rang out from broadcasts in all directions.
"Special admission students from the three central provinces of Sichuan, assemble immediately at the training ground center!"
The broadcast sounded more than a dozen times in a row, and under the command of hundreds of soldiers, all 1,700 people from Sanchuan lined up neatly in the training ground.
A middle-aged man in military uniform walked over in front of the drill ground.
"Hello to the special admissions students of Blue Star University from the three provinces of Sichuan and Chongqing. I am Raymond, the commander of the 32nd Army of the Northwest Front Army."
Invited by the headquarters of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, he was responsible for guarding the second military training area.
Over the next ten days, you will complete the military training tasks assigned by Blue Star University in the second military training area.
There are 1745 people on site, which means you need to hunt 1745 Tier 1 alien beasts to complete the mission.
Of course, I know you are organized as a provincial group. Each province has a certain number of specially admitted students, and that's the number of exotic beasts you need to hunt, averaging one beast per person.
"Next, I will introduce the scope of the military training area to you."
The second military training area covers approximately 150 square kilometers.
The military training area was established because our frontline soldiers braved the threat of strange beasts and pushed forward for more than 30 kilometers to capture it.
The second military training area is located on the outskirts of Kunlun Ruins, less than 200 kilometers away in a straight line from the underground caves in the center of Kunlun Ruins from which strange beasts constantly emerge.
During your military training, our 20,000 soldiers from the 32nd Army on the front lines will guard the red line outside the training area and will not allow any beast of level three or above to enter the training area.
At the same time, we will select 500 of our most elite soldiers, in groups of ten, to patrol the training area 24 hours a day to prevent casualties.
However, as I just mentioned, the second military training area covers more than 150 square kilometers. Even if our 500 elite soldiers from the 32nd Army patrol 24 hours a day, there are still areas that cannot be covered.
Every year, military training results in over a thousand injuries and deaths. On the training field, if you don't value your lives, no one can save you.
"This year, 21 provinces are conducting military training in the second military training zone. Among them, five provinces have completed their military training tasks, and the three provinces in central Sichuan are the last batch."
After Raymond finished speaking, he added, "Next, the team leaders of the military training groups from the three provinces of Dongchuan, Xichuan, and Yunchuan will come forward to sign and confirm the number of participants."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lie, Gu Yang, and Ji Lingxuan stepped forward.
At this moment, a gentle-looking young man walked over, took out a military training record sheet, and gave it to the three of them.
"Confirm the number of people. If the number is correct, then you can sign your names on the record sheet."
Chen Lie nodded and, like Ji Lingxuan and Gu Yang, signed his name on the record sheet.
Raymond glanced at the more than 1,000 special recruits and said, "Next, you can find Officer Zhuo who came to pick you up, and each of you can get a spike ray gun for self-defense."
Especially for special recruits with a blood energy level below 1000 calories, while the Spiral Ray Gun cannot inflict fatal damage on alien beasts, it is your only weapon capable of harming them.
After saying that, Raymond left.
After Chen Lie returned, Feng Shuangshuang walked over somewhat nervously.
"That Raymond must be a martial arts master, right?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "He is a grandmaster, but not an ordinary grandmaster. He is a martial arts grandmaster who has been through countless battles."
Feng Shuangshuang nodded.
At this moment, Zhuonuo shouted, "Come and collect your Spike Ray Guns. Everyone gets one. They were developed by the Blue Star Research Department and are specifically designed to deal with low-level alien beasts."
Those with over 2,000 kilocalories of health and proficiency in A-rank martial arts might not need this, but it can be used by the weaker members of the group.
One ray gun has thirty energy projectiles, which can be used until they are exhausted.
Although the ray gun cannot inflict fatal damage on the alien beasts, it can still severely injure them if the target is hit correctly.
At Zhuonuo's urging, more than a thousand people began lining up to receive ray guns.
Soon, the ray guns were all collected.
Zhuonuo said to Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan, and Gu Yang, "You are the team leaders of the military training groups from the three provinces. Remember my contact number. If anything happens, you can contact me."
But if it's something trivial, don't contact me. I'm not that free.
Also, there's a shelter dormitory two kilometers ahead. Once inside, you won't have to worry about the monsters anymore. But once you leave the shelter, be prepared for potential attacks from them at any time.
After Zhuonuo finished speaking, he had several soldiers lead the special recruits from the three provinces of Sichuan to the shelter dormitory.
Upon arriving at the shelter dormitory, the soldiers simply nodded and left.
Wei Ranran walked up to Chen Lie and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this attitude terrible? Are they just going to abandon us like this?"
"Stop complaining, let's go inside. Let's settle in and get familiar with things today. We'll start hunting monsters tomorrow."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he led everyone into the shelter dormitory.
The shelter was quite large, but the conditions were very basic, consisting of only a few makeshift dormitory buildings.
Once inside the shelter, the three provinces of central Sichuan split up to find their own accommodations.
Inside the shelter dormitory, many students admitted through special admissions programs from other provinces were resting.
"Hmm? Another special admissions student has arrived? I wonder which province they're from!" one of the special admissions students, who was taking a break, asked in confusion.
"The top 20 provinces on Earth arrived a few days ago, and some have even completed their military training."
Those who arrived so late must be from small towns!
"They seem to be from the three provinces of Sichuan. They really are from a small place, one of the worst provinces on Earth."
Chen Lie found a staff member at the shelter and asked them to find him an empty dormitory building, which allowed more than 300 special students from Dongchuan Province to settle down there.
After all the rooms were assigned, a specially admitted student suddenly walked over.
"Captain Chen, someone's looking for you outside!"
"Um?"
Chen Lie found it a bit strange and asked, "Who's looking for me?"
"I don't know, I don't recognize them. They're not staff members of the shelter, but seem to be special students from other provinces."
"Okay, I'll go take a look!"
Chen Lie nodded and was about to leave when Luo Zhixun, who was beside him, said, "Do you want me to come with you?"
"No need, I can go out and take a look myself."
Chen Lie waved his hand and walked out alone.
As Chen Lie stepped out of the dormitory building, he immediately saw a girl with a high ponytail waving at him.
He immediately recognized that the girl in front of him was none other than Ruan Liusu.
Beside Ruan Liusu was a young girl with her arms crossed, scrutinizing Chen Lie with a critical look.
"Chen Lie, you from Dongchuan Province have finally arrived. I've already hunted down nearly a hundred strange beasts on the training field," Ruan Liusu said.
