The desert island fell back to silence after the students who gave up left.
Although they had spent another night here after the incident, they should be even more alert in the final two hours yet Yun Jian refused to stay within their area of activity. The others were surprised but no one voiced any objection.
From what Yun Jian did the last two times, she was no doubt the most skilled in the group. The others had no idea what she wanted to do but they did not ask either, merely following her the whole way.
They spent about half an hour walking as Yun Jian led them around the forest before they came to the side of a small hill. There was a cave at the bottom of the hill with some movements there as if there were people moving around.
Yun Jian and group were concealed by the dense forest and were farther away, so the people who were walking in front of the cave did not notice them.
“There are actually people here…” Lin Yuan covered her mouth and spoke so softly that the others around her would not hear her if they had not listened carefully.
“Don’t make any noise no matter what you see later,” Yun Jian told everyone very softly.
She had spoken in a hush but the others nodded cooperatively. She then led them to move quietly along the dense bushes and trees.
As they approached, they realized that those standing in front of the cave were uniformed soldiers! One of them was even a senior instructor who were with them a few days ago!
Since everyone sat together at night to chatter and joke during the outdoor training camp, the group could remember the faces of each instructor. All of them covered their mouths except Yun Jian who grinned. She was not surprised at all.
Just as Leng Hanzhe, Lin Yuan, Wen Peiling, and Leng Hanzhe’s friends put a palm over their mouth to not make any sound, Yun Jian suddenly waved at Mu Ying.
The two of them then sprang out from the forest in unison, rolled and got up to go toward the men in military uniforms in front of the cave.
These military uniform-cladded men were shocked when they saw Yun Jian and Mu Ying out of the blue but they were soldiers with agility and quick reflex.
Despite that, what Leng Hanzhe, Lin Yuan, Wen Peiling and Leng Hanzhe’s friends saw from afar was Yun Jian and Mu Ying dashing over and knocking out these men in uniform—where one of them was their drillmaster—speedily. The sight caused them to gasp.
They could not help being astonished that even the senior instructor could not rival Yun Jian and Mu Ying. What…
While they were caught in the surprise, Yun Jian had already slipped into the cave with Mu Ying.
…
12pm noon came swiftly. Drillmaster Zhou brought all other students back to the desert island as promised. Because there was a death in the desert island and said death was their peer, all the students were anxious.
“Drillmaster Zhou, you have to capture Yun Jian! She must be the real murderer who killed my cousin!” Han Ming gritted resentfully.
In spite of it, Drillmaster Zhou looked at the forest with squinted eyes.
“There… someone’s coming out!” one of the students could not help shouting.
“Is it Yun Jian and others? They’re still alive!” someone else yelled.
When all of them saw Yun Jian walk in front while Leng Hanzhe’s friends prop up an unconscious girl who everyone could more or less recognize, a commotion broke out among them.
“T-that’s… Lin Shuya?!”
“No! How is that possible? Isn’t Lin Shuya dead?!”
Drillmaster Zhou felt his eye give a violent twitch when he saw Yun Jian walking over and gesturing for the guys behind her to carry Lin Shuya. He could not help the shock that washed over him.
He had thought that Yun Jian was already brave enough for persevering and staying in the desert island but could someone tell him how did she expose his flawless plan?! Was Yun Jian still human?
