Star Rebirth: Kidnapping the Crazy Boss
Chapter 301 The Clouds Are a Premonition of the Formation of the Star Beast Tide
The soldiers at each sentry post remained upright, their eyes fixed on the changes in the clouds in the sky.
This may be a common scene for the soldiers on the Lieyun battlefield, but it is very shocking to the freshmen like Kong Yu.
Those clouds seemed to have life, pushing the floating meteorites of all sizes to move. If a cloud moved faster, the meteorites contained in two or more clouds would collide with each other violently, and countless pieces of debris would fly in all directions along with sparks, and then be picked up by another cloud again.
The void is filled with such scenes, which are extremely spectacular and seem to foreshadow the coming storm.
Everyone arrived at the training ground in silence. Since it was wind resistance training, the training location was chosen directly on the outdoor playground. Captain Ghosn and his team had already arrived.
When he saw the freshmen coming over, he didn't say anything nonsense.
"Line up, one meter apart, standing at attention."
The posture of standing at attention is really not conducive to resisting the wind, not to mention the strong wind on the Lieyun battlefield. As soon as they were separated from their comrades who were closely relying on them, several students were almost swept away by the wind, and exclamations rang out one after another.
But this time Ghosn didn't get angry. Instead, he pointed to the ground below everyone. Everyone then saw that where they landed, a ring rose up. "Catch it when it's about to be blown away by the wind."
Then he began to distribute items with the team members. After getting the items, he took a look at them and understood their functions.
"What you have now are the gravity devices developed by our military technicians based on the characteristics of the Lieyun battlefield. Now wear them on your wrists and ankles respectively.
Everyone followed the instructions, and as soon as the gravity device was put on, it automatically sensed and stuck to the skin.
"The gravity machine can set the weight according to the limit you can bear. As your body adapts to the current weight, the gravity machine will automatically increase the weight.
This is to help you better adapt to the wind in the Cloud Hunting Battlefield. Now, maintain your military posture and don't move."
Kong Yu felt the heavy weight on his ankles and wrists. It was just as Captain Ghosn said. It was set according to the limit of what he could bear. Now he just felt that his legs were pressed firmly to the ground by something.
Captain Gorn nodded, clearly pleased with the new students. He pointed toward the sky and said, "I believe you've already seen those moving clouds. Do you want to know what they are?"
Jincheng has always been an active student in class, and this was no exception. He raised his hand very actively, but he forgot that he was wearing a gravity device. Not only did he fail to raise his arm, he almost stumbled.
But his embarrassed appearance only earned him a glare from Instructor Gon, who then pointed at the tall and strong Xiong Lin in the team. Xiong Lin was a power-type mutant, and the weight automatically set by his gravity device was dozens of times that of the others.
Xiong Lin was not used to this situation. He had been very familiar with the use of strength since he awakened his special powers. This was the first time in more than ten years that he felt restricted by weight. It was a bit uncomfortable, so his face turned red and his whole body and mind were focused on the gravity devices on his wrists and ankles.
But when the instructor called him out, he had no choice but to answer, "What else can a cloud be? It's just water vapor."
Xiong Lin has put all his talent and skills into the muscles all over his body, so his brain is very simple. What he said seems to be nothing wrong, because that's how clouds are formed.
But if it were really that simple, why would Instructor Ghosn bring this up and ask questions?
But Instructor Gon didn't care about Xiong Lin's answer. He faced the direction of the clouds and said, "These clouds are the precursor to the formation of the largest star tide in the Cloud Hunting Battlefield every year.
According to our years of observation, the denser and stronger the clouds, the larger the number of Star Beasts expected to emerge. Students, you are very lucky. This is the most intensive cloud movement in the Cloud Hunter battlefield in the past five years."
As Gon finished speaking, the wind on the Lieyun battlefield seemed to become stronger, causing the combat uniforms of everyone to rustle.
Kong Yu's heart sank. Although they didn't need to go to the battlefield, people were dying every moment in the Star Beast battlefield. The larger the Star Beast tide, the greater the death toll.
For a moment, the playground was eerily quiet.
"Hahaha... Don't be afraid, little brats." Gorn's loud laughter broke the silence again. "The Flame Legion is not afraid of challenges."
After an hour of standing at attention, the freshmen began to run around the playground according to the instructor's arrangements. With the gravity device, it was very difficult to just lift their feet.
Ghosn and his team members sat in the stands and watched the freshmen run.
Bansi: "Captain, will this year's Star Beast Tide really be more severe than previous years?"
There was no worry on Bansi's face, only pure curiosity. He had been in the Hunting Cloud battlefield for several years and had never seen a large-scale star beast tide, so he was a little curious about what the large-scale star beast tide that the captain mentioned looked like.
Ghosn was looking at it on his laptop and replied, "I don't know, but it's definitely bigger than usual."
Another tall and strong soldier, Meng Shuo, patted Banxi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, Banxi, just follow me when we get to the battlefield. Let's kill a wave of star beasts and take them back for money."
Bansi raised his head and said proudly, "I won't follow you. I want to rush to the front and kill lots of star beasts. I will take them back and exchange them for star coins to buy lots of delicious food."
As if recalling the delicious food he had eaten last night, Bansi couldn't help licking his lips, causing several teammates to shake their heads with a smile, but no one said anything.
Bansi grew up in a federal orphanage. Although he received assistance from the federal government when he was young, he said that they were raised on nutrient solution and had rarely seen fresh vegetables or meat.
He was able to eat as much as he wanted after joining the Flame Army. It was the first time he ate so many kinds of meat. Bansi was amazed and developed a habit of gluttony since then.
Meng Shuo's family was not much better off, a lower-class family in a remote star system, so his biggest wish in life was to earn a lot of federal currency and bring his parents to live on other planets.
So he is the hardest-working one in the Star Beast Battlefield, and as for the others, they all have their own stories.
The cadets of the Lieyan Military Academy usually receive very rigorous training. Although no one else feels superior to them, they still have some sense of superiority over ordinary soldiers. However, these chosen ones were all defeated by the gravity device and the strong wind of the Hunting Cloud battlefield.
Xu Zhou pulled Jin Cheng when he fell, and Jin Cheng fell on Lu Feng on the side. Kong Yu saw him and hurried to help him, but he turned too quickly and tripped with his left foot and fell on Lu Feng with his right foot.
Everyone fell down one after another like dumplings and couldn't get up.
(Add 2000 words~)
Here, only artificial light sources distinguish day from night, but under the oppression of the dark sky, the artificial light sources appear so weak, like little fireflies.
Kong Yu looked at the clouds in the sky and suddenly felt a little emotional. It seemed that humans would never be able to explore all the mysteries of the universe. In front of nature, humans were still terrifyingly small even if they were wearing mechas.
The days on the Cloud Hunting battlefield passed one by one in repetitive training, and the freshmen witnessed with their own eyes how the clouds gradually gathered from small individual entities and eventually became a large cloud covering the entire sky.
During this time, the freshmen gradually became familiar with Gorn's team and some of the soldiers. I asked a few of them privately, "Why has the true full picture of the Star Beast Battlefield never been published on the Star Network?"
Kong Yu got an expected answer, 'Humanity was deeply persecuted by star beasts thousands of years ago. At that time, technology was far less advanced than it is now. Facing the ferocious star beasts, humans could only rely on their flesh and blood bodies that had awakened special powers.
When humans first stepped into the universe, they left behind countless corpses.
Humanity needs to remember the suffering it has endured, but it cannot become entrenched in it. If humans constantly watch the bloody battlefields of interstellar beasts, they will be in constant fear, and that is not the original intention of humanity's journey into space.
There is room for understanding but no way to fully understand.
Time passed quickly. Kong Yu had already felt that he was ready for the Star Beast Battlefield and had been looking forward to this day.
On a very ordinary night, everyone returned to the dormitory after training.
Lu Feng said casually, "The wind tonight seems to be stronger than usual."
The military academy students have a strong adaptability. After this period of training, everyone has completely adapted to the strong winds in the Hunting Cloud battlefield. Although they have not reached the level of the Gorn team members, they have no problem with daily training and life and will not be easily swept away by the strong winds.
Once he took off the gravity device he was used to wearing, Kong Yu felt as if he was floating.
No one thought much about Lu Feng's casual remark, and when the whistle for the emergency assembly sounded in the middle of the night, the freshmen looked confused.
"Hurry up and get up, it's an emergency assembly." I don't know who shouted first, everyone's expressions were startled, and they hurriedly got up and put on their equipment.
The sound of running could be heard in the corridor outside. This was an emergency assembly for all soldiers. Kong Yu felt a surge of panic in his heart, but fortunately he did not panic at all in his actions.
Day after day of training showed its effect at this moment.
When they arrived at the assembly point, the freshmen lined up behind the soldiers, with the fully armed Ghosn team in front of them. Seeing them coming, Ghosn gestured for them to stand quietly.
The entire playground was filled with a tense atmosphere. At the front of the team were two major officers. They were the officers stationed at the Lieyun Base. Kong Yu had seen their photos.
Seeing that the soldiers had gathered, the person in front raised his hand, and the team immediately stood at ease in unison.
"Warriors, I believe you have seen that the scale of this Star Beast Tide is larger than those in the past few years. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for us.
The Flame Legion is not afraid of challenges. Everyone, follow me and kill the hateful star beasts. Do you have the confidence?"
Without any external equipment, the commander's voice resounded throughout the playground.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
There was a very brief pre-war mobilization, and before Kong Yu and others could react, the front team had already started boarding the ship.
Gon walked out of the team, pulled down the mask on his face and looked at the freshmen: "Your mission this time is to quietly follow behind the main force and learn how to fight, kill, and survive on the Star Beast battlefield! Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, I understand!"
Kong Yu felt that everyone must be the same as him at this moment, nervous and excited. As federal warriors, they were born to step onto the star beast battlefield.
"Captain, can we join the battle too?"
As a representative, Lufeng expressed everyone's thoughts.
Captain Gorn chuckled, "I don't need you yet."
The freshman followed Gorn's team onto a starship. Inside, there were already many soldiers sitting upright, but they all wore masks and did not talk to each other.
The freshmen were experiencing such a scene for the first time. They were nervous and excited and wanted to talk to each other, but they didn’t know what to say in such a serious atmosphere.
Inside the leading warship, Lu Hao stared at the star map and warned those behind him, "Tell Gon to keep an eye on the students and don't let them sneak onto the battlefield."
"In my opinion, it's okay to let the students go up and take a look. After all, they will go up and kill star beasts after graduation, so it's not a bad thing to see it sooner or later."
The person who spoke was Tanaka, another major officer in charge of guarding the Lieyun battlefield.
Lu Hao shook his head. "If we had let them go up there and kill a few star beasts in the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But we don't know the situation on the battlefield this time, so we can't just let them go there rashly."
One thing that makes the Hunting Cloud Battlefield different from other places is that due to the special nature of its clouds, it is impossible to obtain accurate information about star beasts in the early stages, so Lu Hao cannot let this group of students who have not yet graduated take risks.
Tanaka thought about it, nodded and said nothing more.
He and Lu Hao have been partners for so many years. Although they have some differences in ideas, facts have proved many times that the decisions made by Lu Hao are correct, so he has become accustomed to listening more to Lu Hao's arrangements.
Although he felt that the children in the military academy lacked bloodiness and could only grow up quickly after experiencing real fighting on the battlefield, but as Lu Hao said, there was no rush to grow up.
To the naked eye, the cloud and the military port seemed very close, but the starship flew for a full three hours before it actually reached the border of the Hunting Cloud Battlefield.
While still inside the starship, Kong Yu heard earth-shaking beast roars. He was not wearing earmuffs, and the beast roars pierced his eardrums and hurt him.
Ghosn's face was serious:
"The Hunting Cloud Battlefield is a battlefield within the void. The internal environment is complex and intricate. Once you enter, you must stay closely behind the team. Anyone who dares to leave the team without permission will be punished severely."
The place where star beasts live is the landform formed by abandoned planets and meteorites in the universe. The environment there is harsh, and star beasts will fight with each other for food and resources for cultivation.
The formation of a star beast tide is generally caused by the birth of a high-level star beast king among the star beasts. The king, who is able to command all beasts, launches an attack on human settlements under his command.
