Free Web NovelChapter 1428: Chapter 1428: Foolish Appearance
Without mentioning anything else, just looking at the center of the battlefield where the commanders of the two camps are clashing, the aftermath of the explosion makes everyone tremble!
In such a situation, it seems quite unreasonable that someone could survive.
So, there must be casualties.
Worst case, a total wipeout.
Everyone speculated like this, with mixed feelings. They all hoped the opposing commander would be dead, but feared their own might be as well...
Boom——
Boom——
Boom——
The aftershocks of the explosion were still ringing on that piece of land, but there was no one there anymore.
...
The entire arena, after the explosion, seemed like an invisible giant hand pressed the pause button. The contestants, whether from Camp 1 or Camp 2, were motionless, all staring at the direction of the explosion’s center.
Suddenly——
A rustling sound came from the center of the explosion, and everyone was taken aback, then suddenly widened their eyes, focusing intently on the direction of the sound.
Right then, the sound abruptly stopped.
The silence was actually brief, less than a second. In the next moment, everyone suddenly drew their weapons, intending to seize the moment when the enemies were dazed and swiftly eliminate them.
Next.
Another fierce battle erupted.
At the center of the explosion, everything was charred black, with no sign of life. In fact, the rustling sound everyone heard was not human-made, but was caused by the wind knocking over a charred stone, which shattered into countless pieces as it fell.
At this moment, other than the countless spectators outside the screen, none of the students engaged in the intense skirmish inside could spare the attention to care about which camp’s commander had died, or whether both had headed to the afterlife together.
Inside the arena.
Without the full control and command of Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan, the students from Camp 1 and Camp 2 surprisingly did not fall into chaos, but instead strictly executed their previous orders. In this territory of Camp 2, Camp 1’s students were working hard to take down opponents and occupy crucial positions. On the other side, students from Camp 2, after harvesting opponents, used their advantageous terrain to dig pits for the enemies to fall into while defending.
The two formations were completely entangled.
From this, one can see that Yue Qiyuan and Chu Jiaojiao’s military skills were evenly matched.
Outside the arena.
On the holographic screen, Yue Qiyuan and Chu Jiaojiao’s separate screens suddenly went black, losing all images, causing the audience outside the arena to be stunned:
"Are they both dead?"
"Really dead?"
"Damn, even though that explosion was unexpected, given the technological level inside the competition field and the limited materials available, the explosion from such a makeshift bomb was quite shocking. But! But they’re actually both dead... Just like that, it’s a bit different from what I imagined."
"I’ve already taken off my pants, and this is all I get?"
"Hey, maintain civility while watching."
"Hey there... maybe you’re overthinking it? The screen going black doesn’t mean the contestants are dead, right? It could be a signal transmission failure? After all, with such a big explosion, them being right at the center, a sudden signal glitch isn’t impossible."
Technically speaking, a signal failure is possible.
But!
But currently, human information transmission technology is extremely powerful, with the Star Network spanning 10 major star systems, and the signal is uninterrupted except for a few remote areas.
However, as long as it’s technology, there are always exceptions.
The situation with Yue Qiyuan and Chu Jiaojiao was indeed unexpected. The reason their signal suddenly failed was because, during the explosion, they fought so fiercely that they lost their competition wristbands.
They weren’t dead.
They lost their competition wristbands.
Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan: "..."
The organizers quickly discovered the problem. This situation was not the students’ fault; it was the oversight of the competition committee, so the students did not bear responsibility. Soon, using invisible drones, they were both given new competition wristbands.
Thus——
The audience outside saw their pitch-black screens flicker, and then the images reappeared clearly, as if they were right there.
But——
The situation of the two was quite surprising to everyone.
Chu Jiaojiao and Yue Qiyuan were unharmed, and in such a large explosion, not only did they not lose a single hair, but their clothes were just as clean and neat as if they had just been washed.
What’s going on?
Were these two not at the center of the explosion?
But, everyone had clearly seen that these two commanders, upon meeting, said nothing and each tossed a bomb at the other!
With such a toss, forget about whether they were annihilated or not, it would have reduced them to dust, buried in the soil, resolving any lifelong problem at once.
But!
Both were unscathed and no longer in their original position. Chu Jiaojiao was running fast, with Yue Qiyuan in hot pursuit.
Isn’t this scene upside down?
According to everyone’s understanding, shouldn’t Chu Jiaojiao be the one chasing and fighting Yue Qiyuan?
Why was Yue Qiyuan chasing Chu Jiaojiao?
Everyone outside the screen was watching this scene intently.
Above the First Military Academy Square.
Yue Qiguang directly frowned: "What’s going on? Did Yue Qiyuan get it wrong? Why is he chasing Chu Jiaojiao? Go after others, even if Chu Jiaojiao is a bit annoying, she’s just an ordinary enemy head, worth only 1 point, certainly not worth it."
Ji You and Sheng Qingyan didn’t say a word, but Lou cocked his head, pondered, and said, "Did Chu Jiaojiao take something?"
Ji You turned his head, glanced at the pair of Iron Fools, and softly said, "No. Look at the direction Jiaojiao is heading, then you’ll understand."
The direction she’s heading?
What’s the deal?
Yue Qiguang and Lou focused their eyes and immediately realized!
Lou exclaimed, "Is she heading to Camp 2’s Commander Base?"
Yue Qiguang said, "Damn! Is Chu Jiaojiao planning to capture the Array Flag alone? Did her brain get eaten by dogs? Just by herself? Where’s the confidence coming from?"
After all, it’s the home ground, the main forces have gone to engage the enemy, but Yue Qiyuan had still assigned a portion of people to guard the Array Flag at the Commander Base.
If the Array Flag is captured, the camp battle is lost, showing its importance.
Therefore, Yue Qiyuan had about 100 people committed to defending the Commander Base.
As soon as Yue Qiguang finished speaking, Sheng Qingyan pouted and said, "Ah Guang, don’t always favor your brother, alright? You think Jiaojiao is a fool? She wouldn’t go to capture the flag alone. Jiaojiao had long arranged an ambush nearby. Humph..."
Yue Qiguang: "What?!!!"
Sheng Qingyan proudly raised their face and said, "Jiaojiao is not a fool; her foolery is just on the surface."
Ji You whispered, "That doesn’t sound like much of a compliment."
Sheng Qingyan covered their mouth and laughed, teasingly saying, "But Ah Guang and Ayuan aren’t just foolish on the outside, they’re foolish on the inside too."
"..." Yue Qiguang clenched his fist: "You want to die?"
