Chapter 1 Jiannan Village, Snowfield Base

Hai Tianqing looked at the six teams in front of him. Class 1 only had two teams participating, but the teachers were able to bring six teams at once. Therefore, the teams from the later classes directly filled in, which made Hai Tianqing particularly sad because the four teams that were added were all from Class 2.

There were many reasons for this situation. Hai Tianqing just sighed silently and said, "For this mission, each team must hunt and kill 20 White Ghosts, using the right hand of the White Ghost as proof. That is to say, you need to bring back 20 right hands belonging to White Ghosts, so please allocate the space in your marching packs reasonably."

In front of Hai Tianqing were 24 neatly dressed students. For ease of management, the students uniformly wore white camouflage uniforms, even the unruly Xia Yan had put on camouflage obediently.

It had to be said that Xia Yan looked really special in her military uniform. Her heroic spirit was particularly eye-catching. It was true that clothes make the man, and coupled with her bright and sharp eyes, she almost overflowed with goddess-like charm.

"After entering the snowfield, we will lead you to the first supply point. After resting there for 5 minutes, each group will explore in the northwest direction and go to the second supply point according to the map's guidance."

Hai Tianqing looked at the six teams composed of Class 1 and 2 students and said with a smile, "Take the certificate issued by the teacher at the second supply point and return to the first supply point to complete the mission."

"We will score based on the length of time each team takes to complete the mission and the number of White Ghost hands captured, and the top three will be rewarded by the school," Hai Tianqing said emphatically.

"Next," a soldier stepped forward and began to explain the items in the marching pack to the students.

The quantity and usage of food, water, signal guns, and other equipment.

Jiang Xiao noticed the surrounding students. Only his team and Xing Lang's team from Class 1 were participating, while Class 2 had four teams.

He wondered if the remaining two teams from Class 2 would be in the next batch or if they would choose not to participate.

This scene made Jiang Xiao a little curious. Why were those with extraordinary talents in Class 1 timid and hesitant, while the students in Class 2, who were slightly less qualified, were so determined?

What made Jiang Xiao feel gratified was that the four people in his team had very clear goals, at least there were no differences on the snowfield experience.

Jiang Xiao wasn't very clear about Li Wei's situation.

But for Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue, the snowfield was their playground.

The four-person team was ready to go, buckled their goggles, and followed the teacher's team into the snowfield.

It was still a world with dark tones. The sky was dotted with stars, and the aurora flickered faintly in the far distance, colorful and dazzling.

If it weren't for the severe winter snow, this would really be a dreamlike world.

Unfortunately, this time, Jiang Xiao encountered a storm again.

Under the sweeping storm, the wind and snow slapped randomly on the students' faces, making it difficult to even speak.

Under these extremely harsh conditions, the group walked for a full half an hour before finally arriving at the first supply point.

This was the third time Jiang Xiao had come here, but it was the first time he had entered this natural cave.

The human supply point was stationed and guarded by a special team – the Guardian Team. They lived here, providing people with water and food, and would also conduct searches and rescues at the first time they received a distress signal.

Jiang Xiao stepped into the natural cave. What came into view was a tunnel with torches on both sides.

The tunnel was not long. After walking downwards for about 20 meters, a large iron gate appeared in front of everyone.

A teacher stepped forward and knocked heavily on the large iron gate three times.

*Ka-cha!*

A small gap opened above the iron gate, and a pair of sharp eyes appeared quietly, startling the students.

*Ka-cha!*

The small gap on the iron gate closed, and the gate slowly opened.

The leading teacher stepped in, and the students behind him looked around and walked in boldly.

Jiang Xiao followed the team in. The space inside was very large, in an irregular circle, with torches all around the walls, illuminating the place brightly and making it very warm.

Jiang Xiao's first impression of this place was... a military camp?

In the huge space, some bunk beds, a few desks, and some piled-up military supplies were neatly placed.

A bonfire was burning in the central area, with hot water boiling next to it. A terrain map was hanging on the wall in the distance, with various colors and shapes of plans marked on it.

"Thank you," a gentle voice came. The person took off his hood and raised his goggles. It was Hai Tianqing. "Our school has completed the contact with you. We will rest here for 5 minutes and then leave immediately."

Jiang Xiao also found the pair of sharp eyes. Judging from the eyes alone, Jiang Xiao even thought he had met a vicious criminal, but from the overall perspective, this was a soldier with an awe-inspiring aura.

The soldier didn't say anything, just silently walked back to his bed, lay down directly, and closed his eyes for a nap.

Although this guy was a soldier, he seemed to be different from the soldiers outside.

At least there was a big difference in attitude.

In this huge space, there were a total of 14 soldiers, either lying on the beds, sitting behind the desks, or sitting in front of the bonfire boiling water, but no one spoke, and it seemed that they would not even make any sound, as if they were 14 ghosts.

In the supply point, the bonfire in the center made a crackling sound.

Such an atmosphere directly affected these lively children. Until now, except for Hai Tianqing who had said a word, these originally chattering children did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Hai Tianqing turned his head and said, "They have a very strict shift system, but as you know, there are many people who come here to experience, and these soldiers are often awakened during their breaks and rushed into the snowfield to search for those who need help. Their spirits are always tense, so if we stay here for one more second, we will delay their rest for one more second."

Hai Tianqing's words fell, and the room was still silent.

However, the soldier who was taking a nap on the bed opened his eyes and glanced at Hai Tianqing, seemingly indifferently.

"You have 5 minutes to prepare, take your maps, and proceed to the designated location according to the regulations," Hai Tianqing suddenly changed the subject and said, "Of course, the sooner you set off, the better. It's best to leave the soldiers' time and the supply point's space to those who really need it."

"Let's go!" Xing Lang shouted directly, pulled down his goggles, and walked out first.

Behind him were three team members who were equally vigorous.

Hai Tianqing smiled and gestured to a teacher beside him.

The teacher nodded and immediately followed.

"Let's go." To everyone's surprise, the second person to speak was actually the taciturn Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Xiao was also stunned for a moment. It would be good to pour some hot water here, why was she in such a hurry?

Hai Tianqing raised his eyebrows and said to a teacher, "Follow the team according to the established personnel. I'm leaving."

With that, Hai Tianqing followed Han Jiangxue's team out.

After walking out of the iron gate, in the tunnel, Han Jiangxue said, "Take off the marching packs."

Jiang Xiao: ???

Xia Yan and Li Wei didn't say a word and took off their marching packs directly.

Han Jiangxue waved her hand, a ray of light flashed, and the surrounding space folded up layer by layer.

Han Jiangxue took out a giant blade from the Shattered Space and then took out a long-handled hammer, throwing them to Xia Yan and Li Wei respectively.

As early as a day ago, Xia Yan and Li Wei had placed their weapons here for Han Jiangxue to keep.

Xia Yan and Li Wei also quickly threw the marching packs into the layers of overlapping space.

Jiang Xiao then reacted and hurriedly threw his marching pack in as well.

At the same time, everyone walked out of the tunnel and stepped into the snowfield.

Hai Tianqing arrived later, but frowned.

Because Han Jiangxue's team did not follow the route given on the map and did not choose the northwest route, which had been explored the most and was relatively the safest.

Han Jiangxue's team went directly to the southeast!

Hai Tianqing put on his hat, pulled down his goggles, and thought to himself: These kids, it seems they don't want the school's rewards, and they don't care about this kind of dispensable honor at the school level.

These children went directly to the most difficult, most challenging, and most dangerous southeast direction.

So for them, is the real reward to survive here for 15 days?

Thinking of this, Hai Tianqing showed a bitter smile.

He specially selected this group,

He thought this group would take the shortest time, and he could get out of the snowfield and return to the warm Earth as soon as possible.

But he didn't expect that he had chosen a team that would be dragged to the end, a team that didn't plan to win the ranking, but planned to truly experience it!
