Chapter 187 Coming for you
At this moment, a notification suddenly appeared on the awakener's bracelet of the Xincheng Processing Bureau.
[Starting today, Combat Team Zero is established. It is classified as the first echelon.
The selection of the team leader has been jointly discussed and decided by Director Ling Xiao, the Research Institute, and representatives of the teaching and research group.
The details will be announced soon.]
"what?"
The crowd was in an uproar.
As long as there was time to distract themselves, whether they were eating, peeing, patrolling, attending classes, or training, they all stopped.
"A new team?"
Usually, when a new combat group is established, there is a long period of warm-up and screening. Basically, everyone has an idea in mind before the team is formed.
"Why is there such a sudden change this time? I haven't heard any rumors before."
Having one more combat group is already surprising.
Moreover, this number is too unique.
"Why are there suddenly more 0s?"
"Aren't they usually in the back row?"
Don't let people have doubts in their hearts.
"What is this team for?"
Many people shook their heads.
After asking around, no one knew.
Many awakened people who were in the hall of the processing bureau at that time suddenly reacted.
Could it be that what they just discussed was the new team?
Being able to set up a team, what does it have to do with the research institute and the teaching and research group?
They have nothing to do with it at all, and normally they wouldn't join in the fun.
"Is this a special operations team set up for some reason?"
"I don't know the details, but this team is definitely different from the others, otherwise they wouldn't be mentioned at the front."
They have made it to the first echelon, so the importance of this team is self-evident.
"Who is the captain?"
Basically, such candidates need to have various achievements, and be recommended by many people and selected after comparison among several people.
How come I haven’t even heard about these links this time?
Everyone made their guesses and their eyes were fixed on several veteran team members who had performed well recently.
If they can be ranked alongside the first echelon, then the captain’s strength must be close to theirs, right?
At least level three, and if it’s higher, it may reach level four.
They are the most qualified to be promoted.
Acquaintances around them used various channels to ask them: "Is it you who hid it from us?"
The people who were asked were also confused. I wanted to ask something else, but you are asking me?
After going around in circles, no one could explain clearly how the team came about, what they did, what they were responsible for, or who the captain was. The more we asked, the more confused we became.
Suddenly, everyone started their greetings with, “Hey, did you find out?”
Several hours passed, and no useful information was obtained.
People are becoming more and more curious about the mysterious Team Zero that seemed to have dropped from the sky, especially the unknown captain.
Even though the details were unknown and everything was a mystery, everyone had a hunch in their hearts.
This, Xincheng, something big is going to happen!
……
Zuo Xiuyan kept reading the information until 7: in the evening. After eating a nutritious meal, he walked slowly on the road in the base, trying to exercise mental control in his brain.
After digesting the food, he ran to the training room and started physical training by turning on the flesh and blood strengthening function.
An hour and a half passed and it was already 1 o'clock in the evening.
Take a look at the data.
Physical Strength: 1.007
Including the training in the lunch class, the total increase is now 0.02 points.
Finally reached the passing line!
Try to reach 1.5 as soon as possible, surpass all students of the same period, be the first to achieve the goal, and get the body strengthening potion!
Zuo Xiuyan fell asleep quickly and woke up early the next day.
I ran directly to the training room, continued with the training according to the course schedule, and ate the nutritious meal on time.
I took a short break at noon and then continued exercising in the afternoon.
When you are physically tired, train your spirit; when you are mentally tired, train your physical strength. Alternate between the two.
It was not until 6 o'clock in the evening, after dinner, that Zuo Xiuyan took a taxi to the wilderness, and he was still training mind control in the car.
……
The waiting area of the wilderness examination center.
"So nervous..." Cheng Li sat in his chair and looked at Feng Yang next to him.
Feng Yang comforted him, "What are you afraid of? But, just take the test next time."
Cheng Li shook his head: "No, I don't have that much time. I must pass the exam this time."
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even a day or two away." Feng Yang was a little confused.
Cheng Li looked at him, hesitant to speak, and finally smiled: "It's okay."
I looked down at the time. There were still 10 minutes left before the exam started...
Can I really do it?
If you don’t pass…
She clutched the corners of her clothes.
Suddenly, there was a buzz of discussion in the waiting room.
"Why is she here?"
"Isn't she a team leader? Why is she in the novice examination room?"
Captain...
Cheng Li was shocked and looked up at the stairs with disbelief and strong anticipation.
A figure in black combat uniform walked over.
The moment you look into my eyes, I smile slightly.
Cheng Li stood up suddenly.
001?
Seeing the familiar face getting closer, the corners of Cheng Li's mouth began to rise uncontrollably.
She, it’s really her!
"Sorry, I have training to complete, so I'm a little late." Zuo Xiuyan walked up to him.
"No, it's okay. I, you...you, why are you here?"
"Why not come?" Zuo Xiuyan smiled gently, "You accompanied me to take the exam, so this time, I will accompany you to take the exam."
Cheng Li pursed his lips, his heartbeat, which had not yet slowed down, seemed to be beating even faster.
Come...accompany me to take the exam?
I thought it would take a long time before I could see 001.
But we just talked yesterday, and today the other party came quietly.
You're so busy, yet you still come here specially.
001 It turns out that you really care about me and don’t treat me as a stranger.
I……
but……
If I make a mistake on the test and make a fool of myself...
Thinking of that scene, Cheng Li's body stiffened slightly and sweat appeared on his palms.
How would she see me...
What should I do? I can't be as perfect as her...
At this moment, various emotions such as surprise, joy, helplessness, and panic were mixed together.
Even my thoughts became a little confused.
Zuo Xiuyan said softly, "Sit down."
"Oh." Cheng Li nodded stiffly and sat down with her.
"Don't be nervous. Breathe in slowly through your nose for 6 seconds, hold your breath for 4 seconds, and then exhale a little bit through your mouth." Zuo Xiuyan smiled and his tone slowed down a bit.
Cheng Li was stunned. The other party's calm appearance made her feel a little relaxed.
She looked at the ground, no longer paying attention to anything else, and began to take deep breaths seriously.
After 3 minutes, just when she was not so tense, Zuo Xiuyan spoke.
"I will wait for you."
Cheng Li looked at her and repeated in surprise and confusion: "Wait for me?"
"Since you have chosen a group, it means that you will meet all the admission requirements."
"Exams are just a way to transform your past efforts into a visible result."
“It can only prove a part of you, not represent the whole you.”
"No matter what, there is still a chance. The road to take is always under your feet."
Cheng Li paused for a moment.
There was an indescribable feeling of sourness and warmth in my heart.
The other party said that he would not define me based on my performance in the exam.
Believe that I can do it, and don't mind my failure...
How come every time, I can comfort and encourage at the right time...
001, you saw through me again...
Zuo Xiuyan smiled and said softly: "You are better than you think."
Then he smiled and stretched out his left hand and clenched his fist.
It's not a real grip, but a loose grip, like grabbing something.
Cheng Li was stunned.
That is……
Cheers to you.
She told herself silently using a gesture that only the two of them knew.
Even if there are 500 of them, it doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if you fail.
No need to compare with others.
Just do your best.
These days, the tension and worry that I had never let go of seemed to dissipate all of a sudden.
Cheng Li's anxious heart seemed to be supported and miraculously calmed down.
A slow, regular beat.
She slowly raised her right hand.
Hold it loosely and touch it back.
A melodious tune sounded.
She stood up slowly: "Time is up, I'm going to take the exam."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
Cheng Li turned around and walked towards his examination room.
She placed their touching hands over her heart and smiled.
Thank you, Xu Yan.
