Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

These people originally thought their actions would go undetected, but they didn't expect that their antics would be directed at Shi Qi, an S-rank alpha. As a result, Qi Ye, who was still observing whether they were cheating, directly ordered them to be arrested.

Looking at the room full of instructors and the two generals, the group was quite frightened. They didn't actually think they had committed any serious offense.

Looking at the four people standing before him with their heads bowed, Qi Ye asked in a serious tone, "Tell me, what did you use to cheat?"

"Reporting to the Marshal, we did not cheat, and didn't we have a check done before the exam?" The tallest of the B-rank aplha spoke up, seemingly acting as the team leader.

"Is that so?" Qi Ye stood up from his seat. His height, which was taller than the others, combined with the suppression of his pheromone release, put immense pressure on them.

"Heh..." He chuckled. "So...you don't recognize Shi Qi? One of the two S-class graduates this year?"

Everyone present sensed the danger in Qi Ye's tone: "Actually, the punishment for cheating might not have been that severe originally, but if we add the option of concealing it..."

Under such psychological pressure, especially since they were all new recruits, it was simply impossible for them to keep going.

The man who had just told the lie dared not say anything more; one of his teammates stepped forward: "Marshal, we did use something we shouldn't have, but we definitely didn't bring it in beforehand!" His words proved that their squad leader was not lying.

After hearing the truth from his teammate, the person who had been lying no longer dared to hide it and took out the item.

Qi Ye took the red crystal from his hand and had it sent to the technical department for analysis: "Tell me, why did you get this?"

The person who had spoken up earlier continued, "Actually, I tripped over a vine while walking. That's how I found this thing on the ground. At first, I just thought it was pretty and picked it up without thinking."

"But while we were hiding from other teams, even though they were only a bushel away from us and there was an A-level alpha in their team, they didn't notice us hiding there."

"Since we didn't bring any cheating devices into the venue, we can only guess that this crystal played a role... If you don't believe me, you can watch the surveillance replay. Although we deliberately avoided the surveillance afterwards, everything I'm talking about can be seen in it."

Qi Ye couldn't completely believe him based on just a few words, so he pulled up the surveillance footage. And indeed, it was just as he'd said.

Qi Ye: "Although it may have been unintentional at first, you took advantage of it later and deliberately concealed the truth from me... The army will not keep people like you. You can pack your bags and prepare to go back."

He wasn't joking at all, and the others didn't dare to object, because they had indeed initially intended to keep it a secret.

Because of the attack they had just suffered, the group began to head back into the heart of the forest.

Shi Qi asked the three of them, "Do you need to rest a little longer?"

All three shook their heads. Shen Nian said, "What if we get ambushed again?"

Shi Qi said, "Even if my spiritual power can't sense them, besides, do you think they don't know the principle that once it's done, it can't be done again?"

Shen Nian thought Shi Qi's words made sense, so he turned around and asked the other two, "Would you like to rest a little longer?"

Before the two could answer, Shi Qi said decisively, "No need to ask anymore, let's rest." Although no one said it, the three of them subconsciously regarded Shi Qi as their captain.

As soon as he spoke, the group rested on the spot again. Not long after they sat down, they saw several drones flying overhead and dropping things from them.

Shen Nian was a little excited: "Brother Shi, the airdrop has arrived, shall we go now?"

Shi Qi knew that he couldn't be slow to get these things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get them at all. Moreover, this first batch of airdrops was crucial for everyone who started from the same point, as it not only meant getting food, but also the ability to upgrade their existing equipment.

"Can you guys still hold on?" Shi Qi asked Qiao Yue and Chen Ziyang. As for why he didn't ask Shen Nian, he knew the answer himself.

Qiao Yue nodded, and Chen Ziyang added, "I'm fine, supplies are important!"

So the group headed towards the nearest airdrop they had spotted earlier. Halfway there, they heard an announcement:

"It has been confirmed that the above four individuals engaged in cheating. The penalties are as follows: their monthly test scores are invalidated; and they are discharged from the military. In addition, the teams or individuals eliminated by them are allowed to return to the monthly test venue." The announcement was played once and then repeated, as if afraid that someone might have missed it.

Although the punishment was a bit severe, it was actually quite appropriate, considering that if it hadn't been discovered, the subsequent impact would have been significant.

Of course, that's not something the new recruits should worry about now; they're only concerned with whether they can get their hands on the first batch of airdrops.

As they got closer, Shi Qi could sense that there were more people around. Although the airdrop was important, they first had to make sure they weren't eliminated.

Although they could already see the airdrop crate from their current position, they chose to remain hidden and wait for the right opportunity. After all, impulsiveness would lead to failure.

Clearly, everyone thought the same thing. Shen Nian asked in a very low voice, "Brother Shi, besides us, how many other people are there?" He could sense that there were quite a few people around him, but he couldn't perceive their numbers.

Shi Qi gestured to them, indicating 16, meaning there were still four teams left. Even with Shi Qi's formidable strength, the limits of human capability prevented him from dodging a total of 16 bullets aimed at him.

Therefore, they can only wait for other teams to make their move first.

Judging from their current location, Shi Qi guessed that Shi Shuo's team might be among these four teams: "Dog, help me see if Shi Shuo is among these people."

007: "Alright, host!" A moment later, 007 told Shi Qi his scan results: "Reporting, host! He's at your two o'clock position!" He then looked like he was asking for praise.

Shi Qi didn't dampen his spirits: "Well done, you're still quite useful sometimes." Hearing this, 007 chuckled twice.

In the original storyline, the first airdrop Shi Shuo received was the best quality among the first batch.

Shi Qi was quite confident that he could grab the airdrop right in front of him.
