Chapter 1093 - 1093: 009 Feels Deeply Distressed

Only to see Pei Dengke stand up, with crutches under both arms, looking like he couldn't take care of himself.

Qi Guanghe was even more impressive, directly carried onto the stage on a stretcher by two people.

His right hand was wrapped in bandages, his left hand clutching his chest, coughing violently, as if seriously injured.

This idea, of course, came from Qi Guanghe. Playing the victim in front of everyone could lead to harsher punishment for Xiao Feng.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Feng: "Zero-Zero-Nine, don't you want to say something?"

"To be honest, seeing them like this, I'm really heartbroken, so heartbroken!" Xiao Feng sighed.

However, the people sitting below on their small stools all had crooked smiles and squinted eyes.

In their hearts, they were crazily mocking: Next time you say you're heartbroken, could you please remove the smile on your face first?

On stage, the middle-aged man was also somewhat dissatisfied, frowning: "Aside from being heartbroken, anything else?"

"Of course, there's guilt." Xiao Feng said seriously: "Regardless of right or wrong, because of my impulsiveness, the two of them can't participate in this examination, my heart really feels..."

"Wait!"

Originally on the stretcher, occasionally coughing violently, Qi Guanghe suddenly sat up: "Who said we can't participate in the examination?"

"You can't even walk, and still want to continue participating in the examination?"

At this point, Xiao Feng looked Qi Guanghe up and down, and questioned: "You're not pretending, are you?"

"You!" Qi Guanghe exclaimed angrily: "You hit me and still question if my injuries are fake?"

Xiao Feng responded calmly: "But you're already using a stretcher, the examination is the day after tomorrow, you can't possibly recover in one day, right?"

This questioning was reasonable.

At the same time, it put Qi Guanghe in a difficult position.

He thought by playing the victim, Xiao Feng would face more severe punishment, possibly even disqualification from the examination, getting kicked out of the Demon Suppression Action Team.

But unexpectedly, it backfired, making it as if he was lifting a stone only to drop it on his own foot.

If he stood up, proving he could participate in the examination, wouldn't it clearly show everyone he was faking the injury?

This would not only fail to trap Xiao Feng but might also put him in trouble.

But if he didn't stand up, it wouldn't work either, as he couldn't really skip the examination.

Just when he was at a loss, a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket, looking about forty, with exceptionally bright eyes, walked up to the stage and said: "Whether you can participate in the examination is not up to you, the doctor has to decide."

Qi Guanghe looked grateful and nodded quickly in agreement.

The person helping him out was his cousin, also one of the examiners for this examination, Wu Zhanbo.

After Wu Zhanbo got on stage, the middle-aged man who had been hosting the meeting earlier stepped aside silently, as if he didn't plan on speaking further.

Meanwhile, Wu Zhanbo wasn't in a hurry to make things difficult for Xiao Feng but first turned to the ninety or so people attending the meeting and said earnestly: "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

The word rule is particularly important to our Demon Suppression Action Team.

Naturally, anyone who breaks the rules must pay the price."

At this point, Wu Zhanbo looked at Xiao Feng: "Two thousand words of self-criticism, one major demerit, no promotion or salary increase within a year, do you have any objections?"

Before Xiao Feng could speak, Qi Guanghe interjected: "Isn't that too light?

Because of him, we can't perform well, just one major demerit and self-criticism?"

Wu Zhanbo frowned, snorted coldly: "This was decided by the higher-up's meeting, if you disagree, you can submit a written application to request a reevaluation of punishment standards for Zero-Zero-Nine."

Despite being relatives, Wu Zhanbo held a deep disdain for his cousin.

But because they were indeed family, he couldn't help but take care of Qi Guanghe.

Seeing Qi Guanghe get beaten this time, Wu Zhanbo didn't see it as a bad thing, thinking giving him a lesson now was better than causing bigger trouble later.

Of course, due to Hua Ling's protection, he was also not fond of Xiao Feng.

After a moment, Xiao Feng nodded and agreed undauntedly: "I have no objections."

"Alright, everyone can leave now," Wu Zhanbo waved his hand and said: "The main content of this meeting is to announce the competition rules, you can jot them down in your notebooks.

This examination consists of ten items, namely:

Shooting, rock climbing, close combat, timed ten-kilometer cross-country run, duo combat, camouflage, hostage rescue, mountain coordinated warfare, casualty rescue, and a one hundred seventy-person battle..."

Wu Zhanbo proceeded to explain the qualifying scores and assessment standards for each project.

However, what everyone was most interested in and curious about was the last item "one hundred seventy-person battle".

Only to hear Wu Zhanbo say: "I trust you all have played a game called 'PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds'?

The tenth project is quite similar to it.

You can act alone or team up with others;

You can engage directly or hide in a place and survive till the end;

In principle, there are no rigid rules for this project, you just have to rely on your own abilities to strive to "survive".

Quickly, someone raised their hand to ask: "Is there a time limit?"

"No," Wu Zhanbo explained: "Once the number of eliminated reaches one hundred sixty, the ten survivors will automatically win.

As for scoring standards, it will be calculated based on the number of "kills", "survival" time, and the amount of supplies acquired."

For a moment, many people in the audience showed looks of excitement.

Everyone had played battle royale games, even those who hadn't heard of them.

This time, experiencing a real-life battle royale was quite a unique experience.

After the meeting, Xiao Feng called everyone together for a small meeting.

"This time, let's not compete for rankings. According to the rules, passing eight out of ten items counts as passing.

That means we just need to achieve a passing score; even if we can do better, let's not waste the effort to compete."

Everyone nodded, understanding this statement as setting a tone.

Simply put, everything was just for passing, even if capable of performing better, it was better to keep a low profile and hide their talent.

"If we pass the first eight items ahead of schedule, can we directly give up on the remaining projects?" the little girl asked.

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied: "If that's really the case, let's symbolically participate. Giving up would be a bit too disrespectful."

Du Qingyue said: "Let's focus on the present and practice shooting. We only have one day."

"Makes sense." Jiang Yixin agreed.

After the brief meeting, Xiao Feng and Lone Wolf returned to the dormitory.

As soon as they entered the tent, they found many people gathered around Qi Guanghe, including Pei Dengke.

Seeing Xiao Feng and his group come in, Qi Guanghe waved his hand to disperse the crowd and lay down to rest.

Xiao Feng chose the lower bunk, with Iron Boy sleeping on the upper bunk, next to the tent entrance, which was convenient for handling any situation.
