Chapter 295: 188. Relying on the mountains! No more hiding clumsiness! Decide to show the real strength!

Military aircraft are incredibly fast, and it wasn’t long before they arrived at the military district and landed.

Apart from the five special trainees from the military district, the other trainees got off the plane and went back to the dormitory to pack their bags, ready to head back home today.

The special training camp had experienced such a serious mishap that it could no longer continue and had to be prematurely ended.

After packing his bags, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan made their way toward the airport.

They had arrived by military helicopter, and they would return the same way.

The two were descending the stairs and were about to reach the ground floor when they encountered Shangguan Yueying, who was going up the stairs.

Seeing the two of them carrying luggage, Shangguan Yueying smiled and said, “You just got off the plane not long ago, and you’ve already finished packing your bags so quickly?”

Lin Zichen smiled and replied, “The sooner we pack, the sooner we can go back.”

“Indeed.”

As she spoke, Shangguan Yueying took out her phone from her pocket and said with a smile, “It’s fate that we could participate in the military district’s special training together and even be assigned to the same team during the enrollment assessment, why don’t we add each other on WeChat?”

“Sure.”

Shen Qinghan was happy to do so, taking out her phone to add Shangguan Yueying on WeChat.

After adding Shen Qinghan, Shangguan Yueying looked at Lin Zichen with a sweet smile and said, “Let’s also add each other as friends.”

Lin Zichen politely declined with a smile, “I barely post updates on my Moments and seldom look at WeChat. If you need to find me, you can just contact Han Han, as she and I are almost always together.”

“That’s fine too.”

Shangguan Yueying smiled, feeling a bit disappointed inside.

It didn’t matter whether she added Shen Qinghan or not, but she truly wanted to add Lin Zichen.

She had never seen such a handsome top-tier genius growing up.

She wanted to add Lin Zichen on WeChat, to see if there was any chance he’d become single.

The moment he did, she planned to make her move to win him over immediately.

Unfortunately, now she couldn’t even add him on WeChat, which left her without even the chance to chat, making her feel a bit upset.

After a brief chat,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan left the dormitory building quickly and walked toward the airport.

Upon arriving at the airport,

they found the respective military helicopter.

The two efficiently boarded, stowing their luggage cases properly.

It wasn’t long before Li Moyu and the others arrived.

Once everyone was assembled, the military helicopter steadily ascended into the sky and flew towards Shanhai University.

…

About two hours later,

the military helicopter reached Shanhai University, hovering over the rooftop of the administrative building.

Yuan Dongzhi took a moment, escorting the five students down from the helicopter, they floated gently to the ground.

After getting off the helicopter, Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian didn’t linger, pulling their luggage and heading toward the school gate.

It was still winter break, and both of them were staying at home.

They had already contacted their families to pick them up from the school while they were still in the military district.

Their families were waiting at the school’s entrance now.

Ma Xiwei also quickly departed, as her home was in the school and it was only a short walk away.

As for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, they were taken to the principal’s office by Yuan Dongzhi, who said she needed to talk to Lin Zichen.

…

Inside the principal’s office,

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan sat on the sofa in front of the tea table, the former looking at his phone, while the latter carefully brewed tea.

Yuan Dongzhi took out the special anti-exoticization reagent provided by Yao Heling and set it down at her desk.

Then she injected herself with a standard anti-exoticization reagent.

As the reagent was administered, Yuan Dongzhi’s physical condition visibly improved at a noticeable rate.

After a short pause,

Yuan Dongzhi got up, sat down opposite Lin Zichen, and said, “When you showed overwhelming talent during the enrollment assessment, I knew the people from the Divine Plant Cult would definitely make a move against you.”

“So, when you boarded the military bus for the field training, I followed in secret.”

After saying this, Yuan Dongzhi picked up a cup of tea Shen Qinghan had poured and took a small sip.

She continued, “Even though I guessed that the Divine Plant Cult’s agents would likely target you, I didn’t inform anyone in the military district to follow and protect you in secret. Do you know why?”

Lin Zichen thought for a moment and said, “Because there are traitors in the military district who can’t be trusted?”

“You’re right,” Yuan Dongzhi said with a look of approval.

She soon put down her teacup, her expression growing serious, “The traitors on Earth are much more numerous than you imagine.”

“Most of these traitors, when they’re not on a mission, look just like ordinary people.”

“They could be your teachers, your close friends, or even your lovers.”

“Those who can infiltrate human society for many years without being exposed typically only have one task to fulfill in their lifetime.”

“Until that task needs to be completed, they are good people.”

“Only when it’s time to fulfill their mission will they show their true colors.”

“It’s like that deputy commander Chen from the military district, if the Divine Plant Cult hadn’t planned to capture you, he might never have been exposed.”

“What I’m trying to tell you is, when you face danger, never blindly trust anyone around you.”

“…”

Lin Zichen nodded, “I understand, thank you, Principal Yuan, for the reminder.”

He wasn’t worried in the slightest about Yuan Dongzhi’s warning.

With his [Danger Perception], he could clearly sense the malevolence of other living beings, so the likelihood of being stabbed in the back by someone close to him was slim.

“By the way, Principal Yuan, what exactly is the Divine Plant Cult?”

Lin Zichen asked curiously.

In just half a year, he had been attacked by the Divine Plant Cult twice.

This was not something he could ignore.

Yuan Dongzhi spoke unhurriedly, “The Divine Plant Cult is currently the oldest known heretical sect, existing even before exotic beasts appeared.”
