Although Carbon-Based Life is extremely insignificant in the vastness of the universe, there are reasons for its continuous survival and growth. Especially when it comes to avoiding danger, this is a fundamental survival rule for every Carbon-Based Life form. As the ancient saying goes: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Wang Jiu glanced at Ye Yu, puzzled as to why he would choose to withdraw at this moment. Was it a duty as a captain or some form of vanity? Even though they were in a Holographic Simulation Battlefield, facing danger in such a realistic environment was unsettling.
"I’m staying too; you can’t go alone!" Now that everyone was just an ordinary person, Ye Yu's attempt to confront a team of dozens by himself would only lead to certain death, even if a miracle occurred.
Ye Yu shook his head, his expression tense as the enemy drew closer. This was not the time for explanations. He immediately declared in his capacity as captain, "This is an order! You must comply!" Ye Yu was not reckless; he dared to stay because he was familiar with the terrain, though he couldn’t explain this to Wang Jiu.
As a soldier, obedience was essential. Wang Jiu opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. The enemy was already closing in; if he didn’t leave now, it would be too late.
"Wait for your return!" Although Wang Jiu often acted frivolously, he wore a serious expression at this moment.
Ye Yu patted Wang Jiu on the shoulder and said, "It's not like we're parting for life and death. Just leave those two Virtual Soldiers to me; you can make it back alone without any issues!"
Wang Jiu gave Ye Yu a somewhat unstandard military salute before quickly bending down and running toward the shadows. Ye Yu steadied himself and began to think rapidly. Initially, Arrow Camp had ensured that every member participating in the operation memorized the terrain here to guarantee success.
Ye Yu recalled that directly in his Nine O'Clock direction, less than a kilometer away, there was a Quicksand Area. While it wouldn’t pose a lethal threat to the enemy, it could certainly cause some trouble.
However, the enemy was advancing toward the Eight O'Clock direction, slightly off-angle. Guiding them into the trap wouldn’t be an easy task.
"Wait, the simulation System might not notice this detail!" Ye Yu suddenly realized something, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. This wasn’t a real combat environment; under simulated conditions, such detailed terrain might not be replicated.
At this moment, the enemy's vanguard was less than fifty meters away from him. Although they hadn’t spotted him due to the terrain advantage, he remained at risk of exposure at any moment.
"I can only take a gamble!" Ye Yu’s gaze hardened; he was a true soldier. Although most of his time had been spent training, he had also experienced life-and-death battles multiple times.
Looking at the two Virtual Soldiers behind him, Ye Yu whispered, "Cover my flanks!"
In the next moment, Ye Yu leaped forward, accurately slipping into a dark corner, while two Virtual Soldiers followed closely behind.
Nine hundred meters!
Eight hundred meters!
...
Ye Yu continuously estimated the distance. Although there were reference points around, more than a year had passed, and even with an astonishing memory, it was impossible for Ye Yu to remember every detail. In less than a minute, Ye Yu and the two Virtual Soldiers reached the back of a rock. At this moment, due to the difference in angles, the three enemy soldiers were now on Ye Yu's left side, with a straight-line distance of no more than thirty meters.
At this point, Ye Yu could only vaguely see the three figures ahead, thanks to the enemy making a mistake by turning on a light in such darkness.
Ye Yu squinted and signaled the other two Virtual Soldiers to open fire!
The moment was fleeting; just as Ye Yu prepared to shoot, his Phase Gun was already aimed at the nearest Local Soldier!
"Whoosh—" A blazing red Laser Beam shot out instantly. At the same time, the soldier holding the Pathfinder Light staggered and fell to the ground.
In the Wasteland, where there was no atmosphere, sound could not travel, and Ye Yu could not hear whether they had been discovered. At that moment, the two Virtual Soldiers beside him also fired their Laser Beams.
Missed? Ye Yu reacted quickly and soon realized that these two Virtual Soldiers had failed to hit the other two front-line soldiers!
"Fall back!" Ye Yu did not hesitate or complain about the poor marksmanship of the holographic simulation System's soldiers; he turned and sprinted toward the Quicksand Area.
Soon, Ye Yu sensed an intense hostility coming from behind him. Clearly, the enemy's main force had noticed something was amiss.
At that moment, Ye Yu spotted a Stone Forest ahead and immediately darted inside, saying, "Shoot freely; make sure to attract their attention!"
Two Virtual Soldiers leaped into action, taking cover on either side of Ye Yu, and then two beams of laser shot out almost simultaneously.
In that instant, the two closest Local Soldiers collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Ye Yu finally let out a sigh of relief and raised his gun to fire at a soldier in front of him.
It was like one of the silent films currently popular in the Federation; brilliant Laser Beams danced back and forth as simulated soldiers continuously "vanished."
Noticing that the enemy was temporarily suppressed, Ye Yu quickly ordered the other two Virtual Soldiers to run toward the Quicksand Area. According to the rules of this simulation exam, no one's communication range exceeded one hundred meters, so Ye Yu had no way to notify Chen Tang for precise coordination.
Just then, a shadow suddenly flashed beside Ye Yu, and one of the Virtual Soldiers fell in front of him! Ye Yu was momentarily stunned but did not pause his movements. He knew a comrade had "sacrificed," but the mission was not yet complete.
A distance of one kilometer wasn't too far. Based on Ye Yu's estimation, they were almost there, so he instinctively slowed his pace. However, the pursuing enemies were relentless; after just a few seconds of stopping, he felt a strong killing intent closing in from behind.
"You cover our retreat!" Ye Yu knew he needed to find traps and couldn't afford to stay back and engage the enemy. He immediately ordered the last Virtual Soldier to hold the rear.
Virtual Soldiers could follow orders completely unlike real people. The moment Ye Yu gave the command, this Virtual Soldier found a spot for cover and began firing at the nearby enemies.
Ye Yu quickened his pace slightly but became more cautious about his footing on the ground.
Suddenly, he felt his foot give way beneath him, and in an instant, he lost control of his balance and fell forward.
