Chapter 110 Arrival (Part 1)

"Hmph, now you're starting to get anxious. As soon as you hear..." Before Zou Yi could finish speaking, his legs, which never seemed to stay still, suddenly lost their balance, and the huge impact knocked him down, causing him to fall backward to the ground unexpectedly.

"Hey, how dare you..." Zou Yi's last memory of what had just happened was that bastard Stark kicking him to the ground. He hadn't expected Stark to do that in public, so he was caught off guard by the kick.

Stark didn't even glance at the person on the ground. Instead, he raised his left hand, patted off the non-existent dust from his other sleeve, turned around, and walked straight out of the observation center.

Zou Yi felt he had lost face and immediately took a few steps forward to try to stop Stark, but was stopped by the third-year senior officer who had given the order at the beginning.

"Don't cause trouble now. Settle things privately; things are already chaotic enough," Major Hank said to the hot-blooded young captain, frowning.

He saw the farce that just happened, but he didn't have the time or the inclination to deal with it.

Moreover, he had interacted with Stark before. Stark was a cold and aloof man, a man of his word, and never one to argue with others. He was the least likely person to initiate a quarrel. Although he was not familiar with this young master of the Zou family, he could tell from their body language and demeanor that this young master was a competitive person.

Hank just wants to figure out the Star Beasts as soon as possible and ensure the safety of every new student. He doesn't want these grown-up kids to cause trouble before that happens.

Upon seeing who had stopped him, Zou Yi was speechless.

Even if his family was powerful and he relied on his own abilities and confidence, he wouldn't dare to really challenge the truly talented Shangguan.

Major Hank was one of the most senior class advisors in the school. He had made numerous merits on the battlefield in his early years and was highly regarded by his superiors in his regiment. He was also one of the best among the younger generation.

The other party was originally just here temporarily; after a few years, once he left Beska Intermediate Academy, he would be close to being promoted to lieutenant colonel. While Zou Yi was also a captain, his starting point was higher, and his abilities and self-management were still far inferior to Hank's. He was arrogant but not stupid; he understood that pragmatism was the mark of a wise man, so he could only suppress his resentment and hold Stark accountable.

But to his surprise, he was met with disapproving looks from the first-year teacher.

Now he had no choice but to suppress any further complaints he might have.

Instructor Tan shook his head at this. So when he was assigning class advisors to the new classes, he had a bad feeling... In fact, Stark was originally the class advisor for Class 1. In terms of rank, experience, and personal ability, he was the perfect candidate to be the class advisor for Class 1 this year.

However, after reviewing the student records for this year, the other party inexplicably chose to lead Class 2. As a result, Class 1 had no choice but to ask the next candidate, Zou Yi, to take his place. Unexpectedly, the proud and arrogant Zou Yi was very unhappy about this, and the relationship between the two plummeted to a freezing point. Zou Yi even started trouble from time to time, which gave the teacher a big headache.

—He meant that these two are such a headache, and so difficult to manage.

Fine, let them be. It's good for young people to have more fair competition. Anyway, his old bones can still keep these brats in check.

He was just about to advise Zou Yi to be careful with his words so as not to cause any problems when new information arrived at the terminal station—the latest kind.

Major Hank and many others present changed their expressions and immediately strode away from the observation center, leaving the observation room much emptier. Zou Yi was one of the few who remained at the observation center. He shifted his gaze from the teams with their own students to the scene now appearing at the final stop.

A very unusual "team" arrived, consisting of only three people. But at that moment, they attracted almost everyone's attention. Zou Yi frowned and looked at the person in the middle who seemed the most cumbersome, lingering on his face for a while, as if deep in thought.

“Jiang, are you sure you can do this? Do you need my help…” Hillman whispered.

"No need, just take good care of your own arm and don't cause any more trouble," Jiang Hui said, sounding rather exhausted.

This child… she doesn’t want to talk about it anymore; he always does good deeds but ends up doing bad things.

It was one thing to lure her into an adventure with that so-called means of transportation, since she was foolish enough to actually believe it; they were all accomplices.

The problem is, dude, how come you don't even know how to use things you brought from your own home... how could she possibly know?!
If it weren't for the seriously injured instructor briefly regaining consciousness and giving them a hint on how to activate the off-road traction machine, they would probably still be struggling to climb up and down the mech.

But the instructor only woke up briefly before falling into a deep coma, his breathing weak. They dared not delay and had no choice but to set off immediately.

Yes, this off-road traction machine is the escape vehicle Hillman mentioned. Its cockpit is wheel-shaped, with two thick, retractable metal claws underneath. A person inside can then drive it freely across uneven mountain terrain.

It was indeed fast and very agile in the mountains, but the problem was that neither of them could drive it. Yes, Hillman had absolutely no idea how to use this thing he'd brought from home; it seemed like he was planning to sneak over to practice secretly, but hadn't had a chance to actually do it yet…

The instructor's condition was becoming increasingly dangerous; his breath was almost nonexistent, and Jiang Hui worried every moment whether he could survive to reach the finish line. If they walked back, he probably wouldn't make it... So the question was simple: should they risk using this mode of transportation to get the instructor to the finish line?

Hillman said he'd been a passenger in someone else's car but never actually driven one, so he could only try driving back in automatic mode. Jiang Hui, on the other hand, knew absolutely nothing about it, so she didn't care about that anymore and immediately urged the other person to turn on the machine and try to take them to the destination. How would they know if it would work if they didn't try?

They set off in the gripper under such chaotic conditions.

At first, it was fine. In autopilot mode, Hillman only needed to make slight adjustments to avoid various obstacles. Surprisingly, this guy's actual operation was quite good. Apart from being a little stiff at the beginning, the feel seemed good, and the overall operation was excellent.

Watching the scenery rushing past, Jiang Hui thought she would finally succeed this time.

But to her surprise, she spotted a huge rock blocking her path hundreds of meters in the distance. One breath, two breaths... and she was about to crash into it! She broke out in a cold sweat and instinctively pushed Hillman's claws away. The entire traction machine spun around sharply, barely managing to avoid the boulder.
