Chapter 188 The Big Wave
Outside the training ground, the lights in the viewing area remained on all night long, and countless people still stayed in the field to watch the orienteering battle.
This is a thirty-six-hour exercise battle. The contestants are constantly in the exercise field and accept the challenge of crisis. Most of the spectators outside the venue stayed up all night, watching the performances of the contestants with great interest through the multi-dimensional projection screens.
Of course, they are different from the contestants. They can take a break and wait until the next day to come to the training ground to watch, and they can even review it through the school network endpoint afterwards. But how could they miss such a wonderful live broadcast of the competition? Most of them did not leave, and they all excitedly vowed to survive this day and night. After all, everyone really wants to know which lucky person will get the coveted prizes at the front.
However, for the teachers, this is a "judgment round" that cannot be missed.
These children are all new to school and have just gone through a round of rough training. In fact, they can't even be called students.
The reason why this competition is called an orienteering race rather than a school competition is because there are no mechas or star beasts in this competition. It is almost entirely human competition, which can be said to be an extreme test of personal ability.
The same conditions have different manifestations, and facing the same situation, different ways of dealing with it... it is clear at a glance who is higher and who is lower.
But this is precisely how they can clearly see the most primitive qualities and potential of these students.
The purpose of the school setting up this competition is to understand the potential strengths and weaknesses of these children and their possible future development directions before the start of school. Because this orienteering battle is also called the first battle for new students by the school, teachers in each class will even record the performance of each student and file it as a reference for future employment development.
Therefore, the teachers naturally stayed in the audience at all times.
As midnight approached, the school thoughtfully prepared nutritious meals for the audience outside the venue to replenish their tiredness after the day.
The teaching bench is no exception. Even because many of these teachers are soldiers from the military and require a large amount of daily nutrition to support their physical fitness, the meal standards are particularly high.
Teacher Tan lost his appetite after using some. Also, for his age, he is old even in the interstellar world, and his physical fitness is declining as he approaches retirement age. But he still voluntarily dedicated himself to education and worked hard to shine.
He distributed the unopened high-quality energy-boosting special drink to Stark and Zou Yi next to him.
The two of them probably didn't want to reject the elder's kindness, so they both silently accepted and thanked him.
Teacher Tan looked at the embarrassed freshmen on the screen and sighed: "We can actually eat enough. These poor children can probably only fill their stomachs until the end of the game."
After all, the situation in the training ground is so tragic that everyone can see it. It is very difficult not to be eliminated. How can you think about finding something to eat? Even if it were possible, I would just take some nutrient solution to fill my stomach.
What's more, it's an important turning point for the contestants now. These teachers can't even eat their own food just looking at it from the outside, let alone the people inside? The thrilling level is self-evident.
So people’s potential is really endless. Even if they don’t have mechas, guns, or even specific instructions, and they can only run around like headless flies, there are still people who can survive in difficult situations. Fight your way through dangerous situations.
Many people present have experienced more than one such orienteering battle. Even if the levels are different and the scale is different and the people are different, the spiritual core is still so similar. No matter how many times they watch it, they can't help but applaud the hard work of these teenagers.
Zapp's eyes turned from the screen, and he smiled and said to Teacher Tan: "I don't think you need to worry about these kids. These kids are very rough. I didn't see it. Everyone in the general department is working hard, and they can’t compete with each other.” . If they really join the army in the future, they will still have to endure such hardships."
"That being said..." Teacher Tan couldn't help laughing: "No wonder many parents complained to me years ago. I hope you can be a little more merciful when training their children, so that they will hardly recognize each other when they go home.”
"So many people were washed away at this supply point. Most of them were gone in one go, and there were still nearly two-thirds of them just now." A class teacher said with emotion.
"Of course, the floodgate suddenly opened. Not to mention the children, even I was shocked. This session is quite novel. It seems that there has never been anything like this in previous competitions, and this time the training ground is also I don’t know who designed it..."
"I heard it was Professor Denis"
"Who are you talking about? How could that person have the heart to do such a small project? It's rare to see him on weekdays. You can only see such a figure during big classes. The principal can actually invite him..."
...
The other teachers were also busy discussing the performance of everyone in the supply point.
The torrent was naturally also a big test for the supply point, with big waves washing away the sand.
Strong shooting ability is only one aspect after all. It can only be said to be a one-sided perspective and cannot detect the depth and limits of an individual. So there was this bug-like supply point. The seemingly illogical and logical setting actually showed the personalities and ways of doing things of these students from all aspects.
At the fork where you can’t see the way forward, some people choose to go with the flow, some insist on acting independently, and some just take it as they go... Different people have different ways of coping, and the characteristics they reveal are natural It's also different.
I can’t say which one is better or stronger, but those who are willing to use their brains will never have a bad life no matter where they are. Of course, many things require a little bit of luck in addition to subjective factors, but that is another story.
It was Jiang Hui and the others who reacted quickly. Although the collision was accidental and they actually did not care about the consequences, their instinctive reaction drove them to try their best to stay where they were instead of being swept away by the current. Otherwise, they would probably be washed out of the supply point by the current like hundreds of others.
People who have left the supply point can no longer enter the supply point. This also means that subsequent recharging cannot be carried out, and since they have not obtained any supply resources, their trip to the supply point is in vain.
Those like Jiang Hui and others who have managed to stay where they are will still have a chance to look for resources at the supply point for a while. For example, the box of bullets Zhou Xiuwen picked up was one of them.
