"Don't be so deceitful!" Sui Biao's feelings at this moment were beyond words, leaving him with a numb expression that spoke of despair. He wanted to lash out, but the looming presence of death warned him of the consequences of such an outburst.
After all, this was a military camp. While most students were still in a daze, several figures swiftly emerged from the side, heading straight for Yang Xiaoyou.
They seemed completely unconcerned about the large-caliber handgun in his hand, creating a fierce wind as they approached!
"Stop!" Just then, a voice like thunder rang out from outside, instantly silencing all the chaotic sounds. The few figures rushing forward halted and spread out around Yang Xiaoyou.
They were instructors from various battalions. Compared to their already intimidating demeanor during training, they now exuded a chilling aura of murderous intent that intertwined among them, making everyone too afraid to speak.
"Instructor, help me! This is a real gun! We're in a military camp!" Brute, kneeling on the ground with his hands over his head, seemed to sense an opportunity and cried out in a desperate voice.
However, before he could finish his plea, a bullet whizzed past his cheek, the fierce airflow leaving a trail of blood on his face.
The loud bang was so powerful that it ruptured his eardrum, causing blood to flow from his ear. His head spun completely, leaving him dizzy.
Behind Yang Xiaoyou, Girl was also startled multiple times. Though she was shaken, she remained calmer than the other students. She kept tugging at Yang Xiaoyou's sleeve anxiously.
After all, the instructors had arrived. If they truly dealt with that bad guy, it would surely lead to big trouble.
No one present expected that with the instructors' arrival, the armed assailant would still dare to brazenly fire shots as a provocation. Everyone was left in shock.
Various thoughts flashed through many minds at that moment. Gradually, three words surfaced in numerous people's hearts: "Crown Prince Party"?
It seemed that only this could explain everything! Moreover, it certainly wasn't the ceremonial Crown Prince Party associated with royalty but rather the descendants of those with real power.
"Alright, those involved come forward; everyone else disperse," said the senior instructor who had initially intervened. He slowly stepped out from behind the crowd and looked at Yang Xiaoyou with a helpless shake of his head.
If it weren't for the fact that they had helped identify a problematic individual earlier, he wouldn't have wanted to clean up this mess—he preferred to handle matters officially.
However, because they had assisted in identifying one issue, he couldn't ignore their presence now. This approach likely served their own purposes as well. After all, Hive Security Company had always been shrouded in mystery; their intentions were often hard to decipher.
Given the current close cooperation of Both Sides, especially with the previous agreements regarding mechs and virtual training systems, the political scene is rather complicated. However, within the military, there is certainly a willingness to cover up any mess.
It’s not just about pulling out guns; even if someone were actually killed, they would still need to help fabricate a crime for the deceased fellow to justify their actions. Otherwise, why would they assist in finding Soft Nail? Being hesitant would lead to inefficiency, and compared to the potential major troubles lurking around, killing a few people seems like a minor issue.
The instructors who had initially appeared ready to unleash explosive attacks now showed signs of surprise at this turn of events.
Yet, following orders is a soldier's duty. Although they couldn't understand such actions, they all snorted coldly and dispersed, fixing their icy gazes on the few individuals involved.
As for the students surrounding them, who were already frightened by the situation, they dared not say much. Their speculations about Yang Xiaoyou's identity leaned more towards their earlier judgments.
“Alright. You have nothing to do here; I’ll be back shortly.” With a smile directed at the Girl beside him, Yang Xiaoyou ignored the dazed expressions of Fang Jinke and others and walked outside.
Yang Xiaoyou was well aware of the current situation. Even if a Crown Prince Party were firing guns here, it would still lead to serious consequences; the military holds an entirely superior position over all political factions.
Even the descendants of military bigwigs wouldn’t dare act so recklessly. Only the relationship with the Hive Security Company allows them to disregard all obstacles. What? Punish me? Go ahead; I’ll just quit right then and there and see who suffers more.
As for any negative repercussions, those are of little concern. Excuses are always plentiful; as long as they can provide a seemingly harsh punishment later on, that would suffice.
“Tsk, you’re being too reckless. Even if there are issues, you shouldn’t act in front of so many people.” After bringing him to the interrogation room and dismissing everyone else, the instructor responsible for Yang Xiaoyou expressed his helplessness.
“It doesn’t matter; if you really want us to behave ourselves, then we will. After all, it’s not our Hive Security Company that’s been infiltrated.” Leaning casually against the wall, Yang Xiaoyou whistled nonchalantly.
This left the instructor momentarily speechless. The truth is he rarely took on the role of an instructor anymore; he was only doing so now because this matter was critical. His goal was to uncover issues with maximum efficiency—this was his top priority; everything else could wait.
“You have to give me an explanation for why this happened. Otherwise, I won’t be able to report back properly.”
Seeing that the other party's tone had softened somewhat, Yang Xiaoyou didn’t want to escalate matters further. He immediately laid out his reasoning confidently, placing various accusations squarely on that Brute and the leader from Huangpu Military Academy.
This wasn’t mere speculation; it was already a conclusion he had drawn. He knew that those two currently being interrogated would also be trying to pin blame on him. Now it was just a matter of whose resolve would hold stronger.
In response, Yang Xiaoyou expressed no pressure at all.
"Of course, if you want me to provide evidence, I definitely don't have any. If we're talking about evidence, I didn't have any for that fellow either. Why not just sentence me for intentional homicide while we're at it? Sigh, who told me I'm a model citizen of the new century? I definitely won't appeal," Yang Xiaoyou said heavily after throwing out various accusations.
The Chief Instructor was left speechless. In this day and age, it was a Rule of Law Society. The police needed evidence to arrest someone, but this completely contradicted the military units and various Special Operations Departments; a license to kill was not just a formality.
"Alright, let's let this incident pass. However, your Gun Permit must be revoked. And also—"
Just as the Chief Instructor was about to deliver what he considered a symbolic punishment, Yang Xiaoyou interrupted him with an open-handed gesture.
"Fine, without my gun, I don't even have the ability to protect myself. How could I dare to stay here? I'll go to headquarters and apply for someone else to come over. It should take about a year and a half to complete the paperwork. By the way, that fellow just now tried to grab my gun; he was quite the imposing figure."
Such soft-spoken words truly made the Chief Instructor feel frustrated and helpless. How did he end up dealing with such a difficult fellow? It was ridiculous; it was all supposed to be symbolic, and other punishments were merely verbal.
However, considering what the other party said did make sense, he could only helplessly reply, "Then I'll apply for you to get approval for a different model caliber."
"Thank you very much! I've been wanting a Submachine Pistol license for ages; an Assault Rifle would do too. The Sniper Rifle is so hard to get approved! Of course, I still need a handgun—just a .50 caliber will do," Yang Xiaoyou said with a smile that seemed particularly irritating to the Chief Instructor, making him feel an urge to flip the table.
Just as he was about to scold him for being too greedy, Yang Xiaoyou changed the subject and continued.
"Um, by the way, we now have some simple methods for judging those kinds of things. Of course, we still need to catch the person in question first. Medical means can help identify them."
With that one sentence, all words were choked back in the Chief Instructor's throat. His face displayed an expression akin to blooming flowers.
"Please go on."
As events unfolded, it wasn't long before the handling results were announced, leaving everyone astonished. The youth's identity did not match their expectations of him as part of the Crown Prince Party; instead, it read Military Special Recruitment Member. He was under investigation for the case but had acted carelessly by firing a weapon within the military camp, violating relevant regulations.
Thus, he was dismissed from all military positions, his Gun Permit was revoked, and he would face half a month of confinement as internal punishment.
If it really was an internal military personnel, or someone currently on a mission, then adhering to the Gun Permit rules while firing and receiving such a punishment was quite strict. Many speculated that the backgrounds of the other two individuals had played a role in this.
As soon as these words were spoken, the students' interest shifted from the punishment outcome to the Special Mission. What kind of mission could require the cooperation of an ordinary student in Special Recruitment? Moreover, it seemed that the other two involved parties had also not been released; no one knew what was going on.
"Special Mission? Special Recruitment? Could it be..." Wang Chong, hidden among the crowd, instinctively lowered the brim of his hat upon seeing the announcement. His eyes flickered with uncertainty.
Not long ago, a 'friend' who would inevitably come looking for him and constantly promote the benefits of evolution had gone missing. It was as if he had never existed in the military camp; during roll call, his name was no longer listed—he had completely vanished!
At first, Wang Chong thought something might have happened to him, that he had been called away by higher-ups. However, the current situation made him recall their conversation about wanting to deal with that disgusting fellow.
Could it be that he hadn’t left for another mission at all?
This thought made him anxious. The time for his first phase was about to pass, and if he didn’t make a decision soon, he might lose this opportunity forever. Although he had never been fully committed, he had already experienced the benefits of evolution during the first phase!
Moreover, according to them, he was an absolute talent with high likability; his future achievements would only grow. This opportunity was indeed not something to be missed!
Especially now that he had a life goal—to become even more outstanding!
"Although things will definitely be stricter now, I must take a risk. I just need someone to cover for me and confirm the situation," Wang Chong thought. The unknown was the most terrifying; after being shaken by this news, he was eager to understand what was happening.
However, the person who could cover for him had already disappeared, leaving him with no options. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind. Although she could sometimes be a bit foolish, she was someone he could absolutely trust.
