Chapter 68 That Is Not Human Speed
-- [ Good job! Damn! I was really pissed off just now!!! ]
-- [ Who is that woman? I don't know her. Shouldn't there be ten recruits and ten stars? Who the hell she is? ]
-- [ I don't care. Ebo is the best! ]
-- [ Ebony is indeed unbelievable! She dared to fight hand-to-hand with three wolves. I mean, they are beasts! How amazing! ]
-- [ Well, I rewound and watched it again. If I am not mistaken, it was Lloyd who threw the knife just now, and it flew out with Ebony's knife almost at the same time, hitting the hind legs of two wolves. ]
-- [ You are right. It was cast by Lloyd. I really didn't expect that Lloyd was so agile. ]
-- [ Then what is Ebo talking about? ]
-- [I rewatched the movement of Lloyd climbing the tree. He climbed up the 12-feet-high tree in just 2.5 seconds. That's not human speed at all! ]
-- [ I am telling you! His climbing speed was as quick as a special soldier. ]
-- [ A special soldier!!! ]
-- [ Ah? But how come rumor has it that Lloyd's family is in business, and they are a wealthy family? ]
--[ There are lots of gossip, but seeing is believing. Let's go on watching the show. ]
For a wounded person and two ordinary people who hadn't much strength, the rugged and winding rocky slope at night was quite difficult and tiring.
Ebony led the way in front, and she walked slowly.
Lloyd supported the wounded soldier and walked behind her.
Lorena, whose cheeks were swollen like buns, followed them in the back.
Soon, a fire appeared ahead.
Ebony trotted to her temporary camp. She took off her backpack, throwing it into the tower room.
Then she sat down on the ground and said to the two men behind her, "Have a seat."
Looking at the tower house she built, Lloyd raised his eyebrows.
The soldier also noticed it, and couldn't help but say in amazement, "It's fantastic! Although this tower room looks simple, it has functions of preventing insects, disasters, and rain. You've done it so well. I wonder how did you cut down those tree trunks? You need an axe for such big trunks. You don't have large tools, do you?"
Ebony evenly glanced at him and said, "Don't flatter me. I won't let you live in there!"
The soldier replied hurriedly, "I... I didn't mean that..."
Lloyd suddenly said, "You need to go to the hospital."
The soldier was stunned for a second. He looked at Lloyd, and then lowered his head looking at his injured calf by the firelight.
There was a lot of blood and bites on it.
His face was pale, and he gritted his teeth saying, "No, I can still stand it."
Ebony used a branch to stir the flames that were about to go out, and she added some more firewood, saying disdainfully, "Do new recruits all tend to pretend to be tough like you do and not take their own bodies seriously?"
The soldier was taken aback unconvinced. He looked at Ebony saying, "Aren't you a recruit as well?"
The soldier thought to himself, "The show consists of ten recruits and ten stars. Although this female soldier is indeed very skilled, there is no way she is a veteran."
"I know you." The soldier said dully, "You must be Kelly Gibson from the Fifth Military Region. I've heard that you are the best among the recruits this year, and you have also won the fighting championship. You are very good, but I am also not bad. If it's not because..."
"Is Kelly the best among the recruits this year?" Ebony leaned her body on a stone, crossing her legs, and sneered, "She won a fighting championship? Look at her skinny figure!"
The soldier stared at her puzzled. He asked, "What are you talking about? Aren't you Kelly?"
Ebony scratched her neck with a branch and grinned, "Who told you that I am Kelly?"
The soldier replied, "You are beautiful and able to fight. Among the female soldiers, except Kelly from the Fifth Military Region..."
Ebony tilted her head saying, "Who told you I am a female soldier?"
The soldier asked in amazement, "Don't tell me you are a male soldier?"
Ebony didn't answer.
-- [ Hahahaha yes, Ebony is a male soldier! ]
-- [ She is a man! I testify! ]
-- [ Are there still people who still think Ebony is a woman? Really?! Don't tell me there are! ]
After the soldier finished speaking, he paused, and then asked carefully, "Are... are you a star guest?"
Ebony snorted and said unpleasantly, "I knew no one knew me. Yesterday I stood beside a flight attendant who was supposed to pick me up at the airport for a long time, and he didn't recognize me at all."
The soldier felt embarrassed.
But how weird! Are all the star guests recruited by the program group so gifted?
First it was Lloyd; He was as good as a special soldier, and then there went this young lady fighting three wolves with her bare hands.
That was not right. His teammate - that idiot named Lorena. Why was she only capable of yelling and jumping up and down like a toad?
"Kelly is my teammate." Ebony continued, "But she was bitten by a snake in the afternoon and has temporarily withdrawn for treatment.
The soldier was stunned, and he asked, "She was eliminated?"
"Yeah sort of, but if I find the resurrection card, I will resurrect her. You too, you can quit temporarily to heal your wounds, and let your teammate..." As she spoke, she gave Lloyd a glance, "I will resurrect you later.
Lloyd noticed her glance. He looked back at her, and corrected lightly by saying, "I'm not on the same team with him."
Ebony was taken aback. She asked, "Where is your teammate?"
Lloyd said in a deep voice, "We got separated."
Ebony looked at the soldier again, stretched out her finger, and pointed at Lorena in the corner asking, "So she is your teammate?"
The soldier nodded bitterly.
Lorena, who was hiding in the corner, was speechless.
Ebony sincerely sympathized with him. She said, "What kind of sin did you do in your previous life? How come you are so unfortunate to encounter that jinx?"
The soldier felt pretty sad in the beginning, but her words made him want to laugh.
He said shyly, "Anyway, thank you for saving me.
Ebony waved her hand indifferently and added, "It's a shame to be eliminated, but your body is more important. Your wounds need stitches, so you'd better go to a hospital for treatment, otherwise, bacterial infection would cause serious consequences."
The soldier frowned, staring at his hands and legs without saying a word.
After all, this was up to him to make the decision, so Ebony didn't continued pushing him.
Then she asked Lloyd, "How did you and your teammate get separated?"
Lloyd was silent for a while, seeming to be hesitant.
Finally, he pursed his lips saying, "He went up to a tree to pick bananas, but he accidentally stabbed a hornet's nest, and then was chased by many hornets."
Ebony was so surprised.
"Phew." She couldn't hold back and laughed out loud. "Hahaha is he a fool?"
Looking at her smiling face, Lloyd's stern expression softened. He said, "Well, he is."
"Hahahaha!"
In the end, the soldier decided to retire from the competition, since his life mattered more.
He summoned the drone and offered to withdraw voluntarily. Within ten minutes, a military helicopter flew above them.
Several paramedics came down from the soft ladder.
Lorena ran out of the corner and shouted, "I... I also want to quit!"
She really couldn't stay in this dangerous awful place any longer!
One of the medical staff gave her a look, and said coldly, "You are not injured, so you are not eligible to quit now." Then they directly boarded the helicopter.
"Heyyyy! Lorena shouted on the ground, but the helicopter had already flown away.
Lorena was so angry because she lost the person who took care of her. How could she survive in the rainforest alone?
Not to mention Ebony was here!
Lorena rolled her eyes, and suddenly, she came up with something.
She gritted her teeth, slowly walking to Lloyd, and then she squatted down, weakly looking at the handsome profile of the man. She said coquettishly, "Mr. Vasquez, I'm so scared."
