BC Chapter 196

The specially made rubber-tipped arrow whistled through the air, heading straight for Yin Suna’s face. Having already changed her position to dodge the previous arrow, Yin Suna hadn’t anticipated that Xu Rubing would predict her landing spot and fire a second arrow immediately after the first.

Fortunately, they had been in contact with the training ground for some time. Unlike Xu Rubing, who was new to the place, they had trained, fought, and discussed here, becoming familiar with the terrain. For Yin Suna, the training ground felt like her home field. She stepped onto a nearby metal pole, somersaulting in the air and using the rotational force to propel herself, throwing the rubber daggers from the straps on her hands and legs in succession, each dagger pointed directly at Xu Rubing’s location.

Rapid-fire arrows could be considered Xu Rubing’s unexpected winning move, often achieving excellent results when used against unfamiliar enemies. She knew in her heart that although everyone had gathered together for the same purpose, there was still a hierarchy to be established.

And just now, when Yin Suna suggested a “spar,” no one around had made any extra comments, proving that this was already commonplace in their eyes. She and the girl who came with her, Zhou Yuanyuan, were also younger than most of these people, so they would inevitably be looked down upon in various aspects. Since they wanted to show off their strength while also suppressing her spirit, she wouldn’t mind showing them what it meant to “slap in the face.”

After all, among these people, the only one she regarded with special attention was Lu Ziming. Since Lu Ziming wasn’t here, she didn’t need to pretend to be well-behaved. She aimed at the most tricky angles, not considering that these people would become her “colleagues” in the future, seeing each other every day, and how awkward it would be.

However, after truly facing off against the woman with golden hair wearing a black vest and black pants, Xu Rubing felt her opponent’s extraordinariness.

Back then, she had relied on her rapid-fire arrows to force that black-haired woman in white to flee in disarray. Even that ruthless person, whose skills were far above Captain Yao, was helpless against her. She really hadn’t taken the woman named Yin Suna in front of her seriously.

It wasn’t until she saw the daggers shooting towards her that she realized one thing – this woman might really be extraordinary.

However, as a mutant who had undergone a second mutation, Xu Rubing had a higher acceptance of the second mutation than Yin Suna. So, when facing Yin Suna’s counterattack, she only felt a slight tension before raising the corners of her mouth again. Interesting, if she wanted to play, she would play along. Anyway, no one present should expect to make her lose face in front of everyone with this one thing.

She had a very strong sense of self-esteem.

Raising her hand to shoot, the arrow seemed to have eyes, colliding head-on with Yin Suna’s first specially made rubber dagger in mid-air.

“Awesome!” Liu Jie, who had been disdainful just now, put away her small expression and pulled the small piece of lollipop left in her mouth with a “pop.” She stared dumbfounded at the back-and-forth between the two, exclaiming subconsciously.

The others had originally thought that the result of this “competition” would be the same as before, ending in Xu Rubing’s failure. But they didn’t expect the two to be so evenly matched. Especially since Xu Rubing had chosen rubber-tipped bows and arrows, the ranged suppression was very smooth, so until now, Xu Rubing’s side had been in the upper hand.

However, the veterans of the training ground knew that Yin Suna had a surprising number of daggers hidden on her body, while the number of arrows in Xu Rubing’s quiver behind her had sharply decreased to just a few. If she couldn’t make Yin Suna stop attacking within this number range, she wouldn’t be able to beat Yin Suna.

Seeing Xu Rubing’s quiver emptied, Yin Suna, whose suppression had gradually loosened, rushed straight to Xu Rubing – raising her leg to kick.

To the surprise of the onlookers, the seemingly frail Xu Rubing didn’t dodge or avoid, but instead lifted the empty quiver behind her and swung it.

“Bang, bang.” With two impacts, Xu Rubing and Yin Suna both felt that their attacks had hit each other. Looking closely, they found a figure standing between them, one hand raised to hold the quiver Xu Rubing used as a weapon, and the other hand pressed down, grabbing Yin Suna’s ankle.

Wow, who was this person, with such great courage? These two were both mutants who had undergone a second mutation, and they dared to run between them to mediate, and even… actually stopped them?!

“Wait, did you guys see someone go over just now?” Jiang Yuan opened her mouth into an O shape, staring wide-eyed and asking left and right.

“I only felt a black shadow flash past…” Liu Qingyu, standing next to Jiang Yuan, felt surprised, but was more restrained than the other.

“It just went ‘whoosh’…” Liu Jie added from the side.

The dynamic vision of the others had improved in the recent training and experiments, so they had captured the figure that had just run past. However, seeing it was one thing, and the brain being able to react to the other person’s movements was another matter. And, although they were reluctant to admit it, this change was really thanks to Yin Suna’s special training for them.

“Stop here, is that okay?” Seeing that the two had completely stopped moving, the black shadow withdrew his hand, patted the non-existent dust, and greeted everyone slightly loudly, “Hello everyone, my name is Lu Ziming, please take care of me in the future.”

“Lu Ziming!”

“Lu Ziming!!”

Two surprised voices rang out almost simultaneously. It was Xu Rubing nearby and Zhou Yuanyuan, who was running over from afar.

The people behind all looked enlightened – this was the “trump card” hidden by Boss Jiang, the “X” that everyone was secretly discussing, the high-level mutant – Lu Ziming!

“Come, everyone gather here, let me introduce two new partners to everyone–” Jiang Juncheng clapped his hands, focusing everyone’s attention on himself.

“In future research and training, everyone should support each other and be each other’s backing. Let us welcome, Yao Jinglin, Lu Ziming!”

In the empty venue, the applause of the crowd echoed under the daylight lamps that illuminated the place like daytime. Although everyone had their own thoughts, they had the same goal. The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, but firm and steady.

Lu Ziming looked up at the slowly gathering crowd, and then looked at Yao Jinglin in the crowd. She was also looking at her, nodding slightly.

Research, training, inexplicable forces, life threats, etc., their challenges were really many. But no matter what kind of difficulties they would face in the future, she would no longer choose to escape and lock herself in her own life like she used to, because she had Yao Jinglin, He Linglong, Jiang Juncheng, and this group of friends and partners. She would no longer be alone, and therefore, fearless!
