Chapter 580: Editor's Last Words
The matter was too serious and soon all the top leaders of the Imperial Capital Star knew about it.
In addition to the troops at the school headquarters, the neighboring military districts also received orders to rush in to encircle and suppress the enemy. Hundreds of combat robots equipped with thermal imaging capabilities were deployed from helicopters over the dense forest. Medical vehicles also drove out of the warehouse one after another.
The outside world was calm and peaceful, with students chatting and laughing, as if it was another world.
The military students inside the wall smelled a strange smell.
"One-way blockade, only out, no in. Something must have happened."
"Well, someone said they saw a long line of medical vehicles heading in one direction, at least a dozen of them. I've never seen anything like this in my four years at school."
"It seems like there are major exams today for the fifth-year command department and the first-year military medical department. I don't know what's going on..."
It takes time for reinforcements to arrive, and no matter how fast they arrive, they cannot withstand the enemy's sneak attacks.
Vivid lives vanished one after another, just like leaves falling in the autumn wind.
The closer you are to death, the more panic you become. The more panic you have, the more likely you are to expose yourself to the enemy's gun.
The death toll captured by the bee eyes has reached 49, including five instructors. But up to now, they haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy.
The effective range of the sixth-generation sniper rifle can reach more than 6000 meters. In other words, if the enemy occupies advantageous terrain in advance, a quarter of the forest will be within his attack range.
Based on this maximum distance, there must be more than one assassin lurking in. At least two, more... I dare not imagine.
The chief instructor clenched his fists, his heart feeling heavy as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
There were no problems in the assessments of so many classes before, but it happened today.
The top three classes in the Command Department and the top-ranked class in the Military Medical Department—the best young talent of the Empire—were all gathered here. The enemy's intentions were crystal clear.
This move is really vicious.
Those undercover assassins absolutely participated in this plan with the determination to die. They had no intention of returning alive. They wanted to strangle the future of the empire.
The remaining teams that had not yet been targeted by the killer either chose to flee or hide on the spot. However, there were risks involved in either choice.
Led by their instructor, Xu Weiwei and her group retreated to a nearby hillside to hide. Being found and then shot was better than running directly into the enemy's guns. At least it didn't sound like a wrongful death.
After hiding, Xu Weiwei pulled out a silver chain from her neck. The pendant underneath was a computer. After starting it up, she concentrated on operating something.
Everyone was so used to her actions that they were no longer surprised. The first time was strange, the second time was familiar, and by the third time, they were desensitized. Now, even if Selvie pulled a frying pan from her bag and fried an egg on the spot, they wouldn't make a fuss.
Everyone thought she was sending a message to her family. Only Kane and Finn, who were closest to her, could see the content on the screen clearly, and their eyes became meaningful.
"Um... Wei'er, can I use your optical computer after you're done?"
Julian forced a smile, stifling a sob, and said casually, "I want to send my mom a text message. I don't know what to say, but it's probably just some nonsense. But... rather than hearing the news of my death from someone else, it's better for me to say goodbye to her myself."
Xu Weiwei subconsciously wanted to comfort him, but found that no matter what words she said, they were so pale. She could only take off the necklace in silence and throw it over.
Julian blinked, holding back his tears, and was about to open the text message, but inadvertently glanced at the taskbar at the top of the screen.
He didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, so he ignored it.
I didn't expect that when I was halfway through editing the message, the transmission task was completed and a page automatically popped up. It was Xu Weiwei's personal Xingbo backend.
It was an update in editing mode. The text box was completely empty, with not a single word in it, but there was a long string of attachments below.
Julian gasped when he realized something and looked at Xu Weiwei with wide eyes.
"Have you finished uploading it? Please help me send it out. Thank you." Xu Weiwei smiled faintly and said to him softly.
The tears he had been holding back burst out again. With trembling hands, Julian pressed the blue button and turned the screen around for her to examine.
Xu Weiwei made an "OK" gesture, turned around and lay down again, and let out a long breath.
If she can't go back, these things can't be buried with her.
There are always capable people in the empire. She believes that there must be someone who can study it thoroughly and walk the path she has not completed.
The optical computer passed it around and returned to Xu Weiwei's hands.
"Brother, do you want to say something to my parents?" Xu Weiwei asked in a whisper.
Kane shook his head.
Xu Weiwei turned to the other side and said, "What about you? You are the only child in the Wufard family."
Finn didn't say anything, just looked at her steadily.
Xu Weiwei was puzzled. She looked left and right, up and down. Finally, she didn't know what she thought of, and she said, "Am I getting in your way if I lie here?"
As he said this, he pushed himself up with his hands and got ready.
Finn stretched out his arm and held her still, not letting her move.
Kane moved his body and protected his sister.
Feeling the double weight on her back, Xu Weiwei sighed inwardly, "Great, great, great! They say an elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. It's absolutely true. Even if you two secretly hold hands behind my back, I'll pretend I don't know."
Time passed by minute by minute.
No one knows what the situation is like outside, and no one dares to act rashly.
The real-time updated death toll in the camp has reached nearly 60.
The reckless ones, the frightened ones, the unlucky ones...all died.
After the initial slaughter, the killer's killing speed slowed down significantly. Those who were close to the end ran away, and those who were deeper learned to hide.
At this time, less than twenty minutes had passed since the alarm was sounded.
The sound of helicopters could be heard from afar, and a dense swarm of robots flew out of the cabin. The support troops had also arrived, beginning to move in from the edge of the dense forest.
Everyone could not hide their excitement, and their eyes lit up with hope as they looked at each other.
"Is there anyone?! Are there any survivors?!"
"Is anyone still alive?!"
Xu Weiwei and her friends finally received reinforcements.
