Chapter 76 Do what you're good at

The group that ambushed them halfway was a large group of new recruits, including two who had come from school with Lu Zhao: Huang Chan and Wang Dongyu.

When Lu Zhao crippled three people in a few breaths and broke the ambush "killing formation", they were already in despair. But then the situation took a dramatic turn, and they discovered that the terrifying one was not the enemy. They were all shocked.

On the one hand, I was relieved that I wouldn't die for the time being; on the other hand, I was amazed at how strong the elite class was, that they could wipe them out single-handedly.

Lu Zhao was speechless, even a little angry: "You should look carefully before you start cutting people."

He was ambushed, so it's normal that he couldn't see the person clearly for a moment. These people were lying in ambush here. If they had recognized him, they wouldn't have made such a blunder.

"Sorry, we were just too nervous," Wang Dongyu said.

Lu Zhao was mainly shaken. Fortunately, the two attackers coordinated their attacks quickly enough to give him no chance to finish them off. Otherwise, if he had been a little faster, there would be two more of his own men dead here now.

"Why are you here?" Chang Fei asked as he walked up.

The group of new recruits looked at each other, and finally Wang Dongyu stepped forward and said, "It's Zhang Zilian."

"Who?" Chang Fei didn't recognize him.

Lu Zhao was taken aback, not expecting to hear this name.

Before the Black Ships crashed.

"Zilian, wait for me!"

Wang Dongyu carried two bundles of training knives, which clanged as he ran.

He felt that Zhang Zilian had changed, that he could be caught up with, but he didn't understand why he felt that way, because the gap in strength between the two was clearly widening.

His talent for martial arts was very low; he only managed to reach 20% of the Warrior Realm with great difficulty, while Zhang Zilian was already attempting to break through to the Iron Body Realm.

But he felt that, from a certain point onward, the barrier between the two of them suddenly thinned.

For the first few days after boarding the ship, Wang Dongyu felt like a follower, but now he has become a classmate again.

Zhang Zilian, who was carrying four bundles of practice knives, stopped in his tracks, and the things in his hands made a clattering sound.

"Hurry, hurry, returning weapons is also a chance to train, let's run!"

Wang Dongyu didn't realize that the reason for that change was probably that Zhang Zilian was now genuinely willing to wait.

At this moment, another figure passed by the two of them, carrying a mountain of weapons. With each step, his boots seemed to sink into the concrete. He looked exhausted, and his fingers gripping the weapons were trembling, but he did not let go.

Zhang Zilian knew that this person was named Shi Jian, and he often saw him with Lu Zhao.

In the past, he would have felt resentful. He would have thought that Shi Jian, being so stubborn, was no match for his quick thinking, yet Shi Jian was indeed stronger. He would have then fallen into a cycle of internal conflict and doubt, ultimately choosing to escape and concluding that "he will definitely slow down in the future."

However, ever since he reconciled with Lu Zhao, or rather, with himself, he no longer thinks that way.

This is why Wang Dongyu felt that he had changed; he had simply begun to face himself squarely and treat others as equals.

"Aww!!!"

Shi Jian suddenly roared and charged forward, carrying the mountain-like weapon.

"6

""

However, Zhang Zilian still couldn't quite understand this guy's thought process.

These people returned the weapons and equipment from the training ground. They were conscripted by the instructors, but Shi Jian came voluntarily and, without explanation, added a crazy amount of equipment, which is why he was able to carry so much by himself.

With him there, what would have required a hundred or so people to move everything now only needs a few dozen.

A group of people, carrying training swords and knives, formed a long line and headed towards the boundary between the recruit area and the storage area.

Then hell suddenly descended.

Splash—

The shockwave from the crashing black ship scattered their belongings across the ground, but before they could pick them up, several flames erupted from the crowd.

The shells fired by the black ship exploded; they were unlucky, more than one landed there.

"Cough cough cough."

After the smoke cleared, Wang Dongyu and Zhang Zilian both coughed as they stood up and looked around. They were both completely stunned, their minds filled with nothing but fear.

Many people lay on the ground, some with broken thighs, revealing the white bones covered in blood and flesh, some with charred faces, and many others were also injured, some crying, some just groaning unconsciously.

They were all just new recruits in the senior class, with mediocre talent and strength. Some had only recently reached the Warrior realm, and a few had not even entered the realm yet. They could not withstand the explosion just now.

However, this was not the worst of the situation. Strange gray mist rose all around, and from the mist emerged a spirit jackal with a mane on its back and horns on its head.

Zhang and Wang were completely bewildered and had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, someone stepped forward.

Shi Jian, wielding two training knives, darted past the two men, dodging the red light emitted by the spirit leopard, and pressed against it.

Pfft, pfft.

Although the training knife had no edge, even a large iron rod could kill it if it were inserted into that enormous eye.

But in an instant, even more ferocious beasts pounced on them again.

"Aww!!!"

The psychic jackal is a special kind of ferocious beast; it only whines and does not roar.

The roar came from Shi Jian.

He grabbed the front paw of one of the psychic jackals that pounced on him, and while yelling, he smashed it like a hammer against the other one.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

When the real war arrived, the dormant ferocity within him was finally unleashed.

He threw away the unusable knife, jumped onto the enormous head of the spirit leopard, and smashed its skull open with his fists.

In less than two minutes, he had wiped out all the psychic jackals that had appeared there...

Then I was completely dumbfounded.

"What should we do now?" he asked menacingly.

He can kill enemies, but he can't plan or command.

Zhang Zilian took a deep breath: "Move the surviving wounded into the bunker first!"

He was startled by the volume of his own words, but quickly calmed down.

The roar of artillery fire continued in our ears; a decision had to be made as soon as possible.

The dozen or so people who were still able to move immediately checked on the survivors of the explosion, cleared out many injured people who could still be saved, and moved them into a nearby warehouse that could provide some protection against bombing.

The condition of the wounded was appalling; some had only suffered minor injuries, while others were on the verge of death.

"Zilian, Li Mu is dead!" Wang Dongyu said, his voice trembling with tears, completely forgetting that Zhang Zilian, who was already in the small class, didn't recognize him, his comrade-in-arms from the same formation.

"Stay calm, war means people will die."

Zhang Zilian pressed down on his shoulder and turned him to the side: "Your name is Shi Jian, right?"

"Um."

"If we ignore them, many more will die soon."

Shi Jian didn't respond, but instead asked out of the blue, "Are you Lu Zhao's classmate?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll listen to you. What do you suggest?"

"We went out to find people, and we had to contact the veterans and the medical team to ask them to come here to treat the wounded."

"Okay, I'll go with you," Shi Jian said decisively.

Zhang Zilian turned to the dozen or so people who were not seriously injured: "You guys stay here and protect the wounded. Be careful to stay hidden and don't make a sound. Two people per sentry post to monitor the outside. The rest of you should help the wounded with emergency treatment and stop the bleeding first."

The situation is unclear right now. I'll go with the experts from this elite class to check, and once we find them, we'll call for backup immediately.

"Wait, I'll go with you," Wang Dongyu said.

Shi Jian glanced at him and said, "Your skills are too weak."

Wang Dongyu shrank back a little.

Zhang Zilian glanced at Shi Jian, remembering that this man always spoke like that, so he didn't say much, only reassuring him, "Everyone has their own talents, just do what you're good at. You're meticulous, stay and take care of the wounded, we'll be back."

Wang Dongyu calmed down and said, "Okay."

"So that's how it is."

Lu Zhao thought to himself that he hadn't misjudged Zhang Zilian. Although Zhang Zilian's strength was a bit lacking, his organizational skills were quite good.

Of course, his lack of skill is only relative to himself; after all, Zhang Zilian is still a new recruit in the small class.

Huang Chan said, "I was on my way back to the dormitory when I was surrounded by several of those wild beasts. The two of them saved me and even asked me to come here to help."

After all, she was selected for the medical team, so she could do more than the average recruit.

Now that Lu Zhao fully understood the whole story, he thought for a moment and then said, "Instructor Chang, could you please stay and oversee things?"

We need a veteran to lead the way here; Huang Chan and her group of new recruits are too reckless.

Chang Fei frowned: "You're going to find them?"

"Yes, I'll join them first; it's better than going it alone," Lu Zhao confirmed.

Chang Fei knew he couldn't judge this new recruit by common sense. Although he was a veteran, if he insisted on going, he would likely become a burden. So he chose to trust him.

"Okay, leave this to me."

After finding out where Shi Jian and Zhang Zilian had gone, Lu Zhao chased after them alone.
