Chapter 88: Zerg 22 He shouldn’t have painstakingly raised his sub-female for months…

Seeing Arnold’s expression, for a brief moment, Amorris even had a strange impulse:

If possible, he wanted to tell Arnold the truth.

But only for that instant, the thought that had just arisen vanished instantly.

For some reason, Amorris had a bad feeling in his heart.

He felt something and turned his head again, directly meeting Arnold’s eyes, as red as the setting sun.

The afternoon sun was just right, but it didn’t belong to the two people in the same space.

Perhaps because of his position, Arnold maintained the posture he had when he just entered the door. The bright and warm sunlight shone on him, plating his white hair with a layer of golden color. His whole body’s aura wasn’t as cold and stiff as before.

And Amorris, only a few steps away from Arnold, was fused with the only shadow in the room. Only a few strands of his drooping hair, gently brushing in the breeze, had the chance to occasionally bask in the sunlight for a moment.

From Amorris’s perspective, Arnold was bathed in sunlight, and even the tiny dust in the air could be seen clearly.

They were so close, yet it was as if they were living in two different worlds.

For no reason, Amorris rarely felt a bit of inexplicable depression, as if his heart was blocked by something.

The next second, a pair of slightly cool hands took Amorris’s drooping left hand.

A lean wrist appeared before his eyes.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you out to eat something.”

Arnold directly pulled Amorris over. Seeing that he seemed to be still a bit dazed, he half-pulled and half-dragged Amorris out.

He could feel Amorris’s inexplicable low mood just now, but according to the sub-female’s personality, he wasn’t someone who liked to hide things and keep everything in his heart.

But since Amorris wasn’t saying it now, that meant he didn’t want him to know.

Arnold wasn’t someone who pried into other people’s privacy. Since Amorris didn’t want him to know, then he wouldn’t ask.

However, even though Arnold didn’t know the reason for Amorris’s low mood, he knew that he wanted to do something to make Amorris happy.

Moreover, he didn’t like Amorris just now.

The dark shadow swallowed the sub-female, and even that golden hair became dim and dull, as if a bright pearl was covered in dust, on the verge of breaking. Amorris’s motionless appearance was as if he was willingly letting himself fall into the mud, which made Arnold even more worried.

It shouldn’t be like this. Arnold thought, he shouldn’t let the sub-female he had painstakingly raised for months fall into such a situation.

That golden hair was so dazzling, it should be standing in the sunlight, shining brightly in a place where he could see it at a glance as long as he looked up.

As soon as Amorris went out, the dazzling sunlight almost made him unable to open his eyes. He raised his right hand to slightly block part of the light, and then followed Arnold’s footsteps out the door together.

The cold-blooded young general in the eyes of outsiders was now gently holding his hand, his silver hair swinging in a beautiful arc with his steps.

Amorris couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

He lowered his right hand, which he had been using to block the light, and his eyes, exposed to the sunlight, curved slightly as he quickened his pace to come to Arnold’s side.

There will always be a way.

In short, no matter what happened, he would protect Arnold as much as possible, and try not to involve him.

Indecisiveness was not his usual style.

After the two finished eating, they didn’t rush home. Arnold took Amorris to a shopping mall to pick out the things he would need for the joint military academy exercise in the next few days.

The exercise allowed students to bring some props allowed within the rules, such as ropes and grappling hooks, etc. Of course, the school would also prepare them for the students, but the quality was naturally not as good as the ones Arnold was picking out now.

According to past experience, the entire exercise lasted for 5 days, and the competition was conducted in the form of teams, with each team limited to 4-6 people.

This eliminated the possibility of Amorris being a lone wolf. So when Custer invited Amorris to team up, Amorris agreed without much thought. As for the fact that he only later discovered that his other two teammates were called Carlos and Payne, that was another story.

The rules of the joint military academy exercise were very simple. On the first day, the students would be randomly placed in the selected area, and then they would survive for 5 days. In this area, there would not only be students, but also alien beasts. Of course, they wouldn’t encounter those that were too dangerous.

As for how to determine the winner, it was even simpler. The team that survived until the last day and had the highest score would win.

Of course, survival here didn’t mean death, but elimination.

Automatically admitting defeat or receiving a fatal injury would be considered elimination and automatic withdrawal. All of this was related to a program that the students would load into their terminals. When it was determined that they had received a fatal injury, the program would automatically raise a protective shield and display the student’s location on the terminals of the associated teachers and examiners, who would be responsible for taking the student away.

The way to obtain points wasn’t difficult either. Each day of survival would result in a fixed number of points being credited to the account. In the past, there were a few students who survived from the first day to the fifth day, sleeping when they were hungry, and getting by on welfare. Of course, this method was no longer feasible. If a student’s location didn’t change for a long time, they would be judged as passively taking the exam, and points would be deducted.

In addition, defeating classmates, alien beasts, and completing tasks released by teachers in the area could all earn points. As for those who were eliminated, the points they had obtained up to the time of elimination would eventually be halved.

Finally, no matter how many points each team eventually obtained, they would be divided equally among each team member.

Two days passed in a flash. Amorris and Arnold arrived at the starport together, and then separated, boarding the starship from two different entrances.

Before leaving, Arnold simply handed the backpack he had prepared earlier to Amorris, without giving too many instructions.

The starship was extremely large, black all over, and could accommodate nearly a thousand people. It was like a small aerial fortress. At the bottom of the cabin were rows of black holes. One didn’t need to think to know how powerful they were.

Looking out from the huge glass window of the port, the entire starry sky could be seen without any obstruction.

Amorris tentatively reached out his hand towards the glass. His gaze was fixed on an unknown point in the depths of the galaxy, as if a sharp sword, piercing through tens of thousands of light-years.

“Amorris, why are you still daydreaming here? The starship is about to set sail.”

It was Custer’s voice. The other party habitually wanted to put his hand on Amorris’s shoulder, acting very familiar, but was still avoided by Amorris without leaving a trace.

He saw the other party dragging a large suitcase. Anyone who didn’t know would have thought he was coming for a picnic.

Seeing Amorris’s gaze fall on his suitcase, with a hint of surprise and… disgust?

? No, no, no. Custer rubbed his eyes, looked over again, and found that Amorris’s face was wearing a familiar smile. Only then did he confirm that he must have seen it wrong just now.

Hey, he thought so. How could Amorris dislike him. And with that look of looking at an idiot…

He must have seen it wrong.

Custer, who had successfully brainwashed himself, then explained to Amorris, “These are all the treasures I prepared according to the notice issued by the school. They all comply with the rules. With these things, I believe our team will definitely win the championship in this joint military academy exercise.”

Please, it’s a joint military academy exercise, it sounds so cool. Custer, who had only experienced spring and autumn outings in his previous life, was so excited that he couldn’t sleep all night. He couldn’t wait to show off his skills.

Amorris, who was used to Custer, had accepted it well. He silently moved his gaze away, and found that Custer’s male father, Iven, was also standing not far away, looking like he had come to see him off.

In fact, the academy didn’t allow family members to see them off in principle, but Iven was a member of the council, so finding an excuse to come was just a matter of a word.

And based on Amorris’s understanding of Iven, the other party couldn’t possibly not know how much trouble Custer’s suitcase would cause in the exercise.

But it seemed that Iven didn’t tell Custer the consequences. He didn’t know why.

Since the other party didn’t say it, Amorris was too lazy to waste his breath. Anyway, he didn’t care about the score. If they really lost the championship because of this suitcase, he wouldn’t be the one crying.

The starship was about to depart. Seeing that it was almost time, Amorris and Custer slowly boarded the starship.

The starship had a total of five floors. Except for the top floor, which belonged to the examiners and teachers, the remaining 2-4 floors were used as dormitories for their students, one person per room.

The first floor was a hall, used for entertainment and dining.

Perhaps it was because it was the first time to participate in a joint military academy exercise and they felt novel, most of the people were gathered in the hall on the first floor at this moment, gathering in twos and threes to discuss something, with excitement and anticipation in their expressions.

Amorris had nothing to do in the room, thought for a while, and decided to go downstairs for a walk.

He glanced around and didn’t find Carlos and Payne. He didn’t know if these two were staying in the room or because of their royal status, they didn’t want to be with them.

As for Custer, he casually glanced at the figure surrounded by a group of female insects not far away, and then turned around and left.

Amorris found a corner with few people and stared blankly at a window.

He didn’t forget the impropriety he had noticed when he checked the map earlier, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out how the people from the Noel Arena would use the alien space, and what they would do with it.

Moreover, since the other party had made up their minds to cause trouble in this joint military academy exercise, then where would they be now?

Could they have quietly mixed into the starship?

He was in the open and the enemy was in the dark, and there were too few clues. Even if Amorris was smart, it was difficult for him to think of a countermeasure at the moment.

He could only pay more attention.

A day later, the starship finally arrived at Ekaria Star——
