CHAPTER 85: CHAPTER 69: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND_2

Every trainee, including Zhang Fangxiao, who had already reached the mud pit, and everything done by Ren Minghang, was captured on camera. Lu Xun had seen everything the two had done from before.

In the video, Zhang Fangxiao stood in the mud pit, frowning deeply. This was a mud pit of unknown depth, as large as two swimming pools, and the only path to the mountain was blocked by the mud pit on the opposite side.

Decaying leaves floated on the surface, and thick mud intermittently bubbled, with the stench of excrement incessantly drifting over. Even more disgusting was the surface of the mud pit, where white, wisp-like worms struggled.

To jump or not to jump. Zhang Fangxiao’s feet dangled in the air over the mud pit. As someone who usually took great care of herself, she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to soak in such a mud pit.

Her feet probed several times and then drew back. Zhang Fangxiao was so anxious that her eyes turned red. Footsteps from behind grew closer and closer. Soon, the one who had climbed over Xia You would catch up. That woman who, no matter what, always lurked around like a persistent ghost. Zhang Fangxiao closed her eyes and jumped in.

In the mud pit, bubbles burst, and her body sank down.

When Xia You saw the mud pit, a few leaves were still spinning on the surface. The worms were still crawling, and the mud pit mixed with excrement seemed calm.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xia You clasped her hands together, lunged forward, her posture like a mermaid who had seen water, without the slightest doubt. Through her clear pupils, Lu Xun even thought the mud pit had transformed into a pool of spring water.

After jumping into the mud pit, Xia You held her breath; it was deeper than she had estimated. The mud inside had no buoyancy, and a body covered in mud kept sinking. Xia You tried to swim a few steps; she could move forward, but slowly.

She took another breath, kicked off with her feet, and headed for several dozen meters away.

It felt like something had wrapped around her feet; Xia You tried kicking her legs. Her body sank, and Xia You felt the mud suddenly cover her head; she quickly reached back with her hands.

A hard punch hit her back, and Xia You took the blow. The waist and abdomen are vulnerable parts of the body, and the person who threw the punch did so with full force. If not for the mud mitigating part of the impact, Xia You might have been seriously injured.

Frantically fighting out of the mud, Xia You saw Zhang Fangxiao, who had also emerged from the water.

After entering the mud pit, Zhang Fangxiao realized that the buoyancy was very poor, and it would take a lot of effort to swim out. But Xia You was about to catch up, just like the last time on the track.

"You think after cutting your hair, you can escape," Zhang Fangxiao’s ugly face compared to the filthy mire seemed as clean as boiled water. She held her breath, hiding under the mud pit, waiting to ambush Xia You with this attack. The tire cord previously tied around her waist was now looped around Xia You’s foot.

Zhang Fangxiao pulled down hard, and Xia You was dragged down inexorably, taking in several mouthfuls of mud water as Zhang Fangxiao burst out laughing.

"Remember, next time you see your granny, steer clear," Zhang Fangxiao mocked as she looked at Xia You’s face, which remained clean even after soaking and surfacing from the water, and those eyes that could reflect a person’s face and even their soul.

She pulled the rope hard again, and Xia You’s body sank again uncontrollably.

"To compete with me is simply courting death," Zhang Fangxiao said smugly, paddling her arms to move forward. As long as she got out of the mud pit, she would be the winner of this military triathlon.

The rope began to float, slowly drifting towards Zhang Fangxiao.

Lu Xun also watched the images, unexpectedly, the eventual winner of this military training turned out to be a female trainee. No wonder they say today’s female soldiers are just as good as males; although she used a little trick, a victory is a victory, with no distinction between darkness and light.

"Ah, no..." Zhang Fangxiao’s scream was quickly muffled by the mud water.

The floating leaves on the mud pit were knocked out of the water. In the indistinguishable muddy water, a silhouette emerged abruptly.

Mud worms crawled all over the black military uniform. Xia You pulled the rope forcefully, the rope was tied around Zhang Fangxiao’s neck. All her strength, every bit of her power, was concentrated in her hands.

Mud choked into Zhang Fangxiao’s throat, mouth, and ears. She lost her balance, and her eyes saw a pair of bloodshot eyes.

Again and again, she tried to break free from Xia You, but the rope around her neck and the arms that pushed her body down felt like shackles from hell, making her utterly unable to escape.

(Number Zero, you’re going to kill her.) Little Eight could feel the anger flaring like flames within Xia You, and all the bubbles in the mud pit shattered. Xia You couldn’t hear anything.

"Xia You, I order you to stop immediately," Lu Xun charged to the mud pit, jumped in, and forcefully pulled Xia You out.

This woman was simply crazy. Lu Xun’s chest also took several hits; his iron-like torso throbbed with pain.

"What’s going on?" Ren Minghang rushed over after hearing the noise and jumped in as well.

Together, the two men managed to separate Xia You and Zhang Fangxiao.

When all four climbed up, Lu Xun shouted furiously, "What the hell is your problem?"

"She deserves to die." Xia You slowly stood up, coldness filled her eyes. At the highest point of Longzhi Mountain, her eyes were full of defiance. The mud sliding off her face stirred the heart more than tears could.

It was as if an invisible heavy blow hit Lu Xun’s chest, throbbing with a dull pain. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
