Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 228 The Exercise Begins

Because the graduation is approaching, although Wang Daming's incident has affected everyone, it is not serious.

Many people have even put this matter behind them and don't think about it anymore.

But everyone in the know knows that the impact of this incident is too bad, and Wang Daming himself categorically denies it, insisting that he did not kill anyone, but that he was framed, and that the murderer was probably Tian Dezhi who framed him. Or maybe it was someone who was on good terms with him, so the task force did not take him away, but continued to interrogate in a row of small wooden rooms next to the red brick building, searching for evidence and accumulating testimony.

This period of time was indeed very painful for the members of the task force.

In their thinking, Wang Daming must be the murderer. All the chains of evidence have almost formed a closed loop. The only thing that makes them feel a little guilty is the possibility of Wang Daming's sleepwalking murder.

Because according to what Li Anan told us, during this period of time, Wang Daming did not have any state of sleepwalking, and seemed very quiet.

There may be reasons for his self-control, but from another aspect, it also shows that there are too many doubts about sleepwalking and murder, and he can't stand it at all.

There is no way to say such a ridiculous statement in court.

They also didn't have any evidence that Wang Daming was possessed by a demon and then did these things.

In this way, the whole case fell into a state of stagnation, and there was no way to proceed.

What makes the task force even more painful is that if they can't find any actual evidence, Wang Daming is likely to be released because there is no evidence.

After all, Wang Daming, who was elected as one of the three deputy monitors of the advanced research class and also the monitor of the basic class, was not without background.

It's fine if you have evidence, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain, no matter how strong the relationship behind Wang Daming is, it needs to be handled according to the law.

But if there is no evidence, how can the special case team have an excuse to hold the person?

So according to what Li Anan and Ma Sifan said, the task force is now Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, not a human being inside and outside, and he is burning with anxiety. As a result, Wang Daming's strange disappearance happened again, and he was still under strict guard. , this matter is a headache for both the task force and the school.

Did Wang Daming abscond in fear of crime, or was someone tampering with it, trying to kill someone?
No one knows.

Now there is even a saying that the special case team is under too much pressure at present, which makes them resort to dangerous tactics, take risks, and get people away.

Although the last statement, in our opinion, is absolutely sinister and absolutely impossible, it is the most marketable explanation, and it is still very popular, making the students who were preparing for the battle panic. .

Fortunately, everything became less important as the actual combat exercise plan progressed.

The list of the red and blue teams had already been drawn out by director Liu Bin of the training department yesterday, and kept in a lockbox. It was distributed to every student by the class teacher and Teacher Zhao until the morning of the exercise.

Everyone got a small bag, which contained a compressed biscuit, a military kettle filled with water, and a student-specific signboard—this signboard representing the camp cannot be opened immediately, but needs to be waited until After the exercise starts, only when you are alone.

When Liu Bin, director of the training department, and Mr. Zhao, the honorary consultant of the Tianji Department, jointly announced the start of the exercise, there was a noisy sound above our heads, followed by the sound of wind blowing from top to bottom.

Dong Hongfei beside me raised his head, his expression became very exaggerated, and he shouted in a low voice: "Wow, what a big scene!"

It was indeed a big scene. I was still thinking about how to scatter more than 50 students into the huge forest with a radius of hundreds of miles. Now the school directly gave them the answer.

Military transport helicopter.

And it wasn't just one, four came as soon as it arrived. Everyone was shocked when they saw the huge transport cabin in the belly of the cabin.

A student rubbed his nose nervously and said, oops, I haven't even been on a plane yet.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Some people raised doubts and said: "We haven't practiced skydiving these days. What should we do if there is an accident during the landing?"

The class teacher said: "No need to skydive, the altitude will be lowered and let you drop quickly."

Someone asked again: "What if there is an accident in the downhill?"

Teacher Zhao didn't wait for Teacher Tan, the class teacher, to answer, then stared at the man, and said coldly: "If you are afraid of accidents, you can withdraw now, and I can approve it for you."

As soon as he said this, the man became dumb and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Teacher Zhao looked around the crowd and said with certainty, "Anyone else have any questions?"

No one answered.

After a long time, Teacher Zhao said, "That's all right. Since there are no problems, then come over and get the hood. After putting on the hood, someone will guide you to board the plane. When it's your turn, take off the hood. Climb out of the cabin and slide down within seconds. You can’t look around, you can’t determine the number of people in the cabin, and you can’t do anything that violates yesterday’s manual. Once you find out, the staff will intervene and you will be disqualified from the exercise...”

After he finished speaking, some uniformed personnel came over and issued each of us a breathable black hood. After wearing this thing, our eyes were completely dark.

Then, they put on headphones for us, and there was a loud sound from inside, making it impossible to hear the situation outside.

After doing this, after about 5 minutes, I was led to board the plane.

Because I couldn't see or hear, I couldn't be sure if there was anyone around me, and how many people there were. It was just like a piece of wood, guiding people to enter the cabin and then put on the seat belt.

After a while, I felt my body start to lift a little bit. It was the transport helicopter taking off.

During this period, the helicopter moved forward quickly and bumped from time to time. Fortunately, there were seat belts on it, so we didn't let us bump and roll around in it.

I don't know how long it took, there seemed to be some noises, and the hovering state of the helicopter, it seemed that someone had already gone down.

When I arrived, the seat belt was unbuckled, and then I was led to a place with a lot of wind, and then someone took off my headgear and earphones.

I wanted to turn back subconsciously, but was stopped by a staff member, who said sternly: "Don't look around, grab the rope and slide down."

When the man said that, I stopped turning my head, but from the corner of my eye, I could see here and the interior of the cabin, and a curtain was arranged so that people could not see clearly what was going on inside.

I walked to the door of the cabin, grasped the rappelling rope, and looked down, only to find that the height was more than ten meters.

Looking down suddenly, I feel a little dizzy, and I won't get used to it afterwards.

I took the canvas gloves handed over by the staff next to me, checked the small bag on my waist, grabbed the machine's descent rope, took a deep breath, and slid down against the whistling wind.

When I got out of the cabin, I was immediately blown away by the strong wind. I had heard some explanations about the landing before, so I quickly slid down and didn't dare to stay.

Soon, I came to a distance of two or three meters from the ground. At this time, the rappelling rope had already reached the bottom.

Without hesitation, I jumped down, rolled on the spot, and landed safely. Then I looked up and looked towards the helicopter overhead, only to see the staff member making a "victory" gesture to me, and then the helicopter It began to climb upwards, and did not stop, and flew towards the east.

East?

I saw four helicopters before, and I had already estimated in my heart that these four helicopters were probably facing four directions: east, west, north, and south.

However, such an idea, of course, has misunderstandings, and it is not accurate.

Watching the helicopter go away, I didn't stop, and ran towards the woods not far away.

One minute later, I was in the forest and looked up at the sky through the gaps in the branches and leaves in the forest, and found that it was cloudy here, the clouds were not high, and it was dark.

I looked around and didn't feel any movement, so I squatted down and began to check the chemical fiber bag on my waist.

Inside was a well-sealed compressed biscuit, a green military canteen filled with water, a small black box, and a metal piece similar to a dog tag.

One side of the metal sheet is painted with red paint, while the other side is marked with the number "04".

Other than that, there was no sign, not even my name.

"Red 04" must be my number in this actual combat exercise. This number was recorded with the exercise director team, but others don't know it.

If I meet someone from the blue side, defeat him, and take his metal identification plate, then I can have an extra layer of identity.

This is the brain-burning and complicated part of the actual combat exercise.

No one can believe it except Ma Yi'ao.

After checking this thing out, I moved my hand to my buttocks and pulled out the lava stick. I felt at ease, then looked around and began to hide in the nearby forest.

Less than 60 members of the exercise were divided into two parties and scattered in the huge forest with a radius of hundreds of miles. The possibility of encountering each other was actually very small.

And the time for the exercise is a full week, that is, seven days.

The logistical materials we allocated on hand were only enough for one meal.

At the moment, the most important thing is not to find the exercise members, confirm their identities, or complete the mission, but to survive in this vast forest.

Only by surviving can we talk about more things.
