Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"It's too chaotic..."

A sigh rose from within the base vehicle as they watched through the surveillance screens how the soldiers were responding.

If they maintained order, the rookies could have finished their combat readiness work at least 20% faster.

That 20% at a critical moment could mean the difference between life and death.

"We just didn't have enough time to conduct more discipline training."

Some of the officers were self-criticizing.

"Da-da-da-da-da!"

Lively shooting sounds suddenly erupted from one of the monitors, and the hit bee-creature instantly turned into a sieve under the torrent of bullets.

"Is there someone else out there?"

"It's 95B27!"

"He can actually use burst fire mode!"

"But he's just one person, what good can he do?"

...

[Firing barrage hit the target massively, causing 82 points of fatal damage to the target!]

[Successfully barraged the same target with fire, light firearms mastery experience +2.]

[You have completely killed the target, gaining 10 points of combat experience.]

The battle information flashed past, and Bai E had no time to care for anything else.

As he rushed from the living area, he saw countless bugs swarming towards the training ground where the rookies were gathering at first glance.

The bugs, clad in bone armor, clicked their segmented bodies continuously, such a surging and wild assault would awaken fear in anyone's heart; the bloodthirsty desire full of wildness was enough to cause any human who witnessed this scene to feel dizzy.

Even more worrying was the slightly chaotic frontline of rookies retreating step by step...

Looking from afar, separated by a sea of bugs, Bai E knew he couldn't let the tide of bugs quickly approach the frontline; they were not ready.

A quick sweep around, and a few nearby bugs reflected his figure in their gem-like black eyes; startled, they quickly changed direction and rushed towards Bai E.

The distant flesh was too far away; it was more important to seize the food in front of them.

"The lower Bug Race has low intelligence, and without the command of brain bugs or mantis bugs, they often act on their bloodthirsty instincts of hunger..."

Bai E's mind raced with the information he had just seen.

He had a plan!

...

"What... what is he doing?"

Exclamations filled the base vehicle.

95B27 didn't flee! He didn't even keep his distance!

He... He's charging behind the bug tide!

"Has he gone mad?"

"No! He is keeping an appropriate distance! He is... using his own body as bait."

...

Or rather, kiting.

The surging bug tide failed to crush Bai E's will, fortified by the "self-restraint" blessing. Never had he been so calm.

Want meat? Come on!

Bai E rapidly moved around the edge of the bug tide, the sound of gunfire and the scent of flesh easily attracting the bugs within a large range nearby.

Far? Near?

Difficult? Easy?

In their low-level intelligence were just a few simple comparative choices.

Without a doubt, Bai E, near at "arm's length," was easier to stomach.

"Da-da-da-da!"

[Massive hits on the same target, causing 43 points of piercing damage! The target's mobility is severely impaired.]

[Massive hits on the same target, causing 28 points of piercing damage! The target's mobility is moderately impaired.]

[Successfully barraged the same target with fire, light firearms mastery experience +11. (Cumulative)]

While maintaining movement, the roar of Bai E's rifle never ceased.

Acting alone granted him greater agility, with even the slightest obstacles serving as his natural shields.

Even in the midst of chaos, he remained utterly calm, his gaze almost simultaneously encompassing all the attacking bugs in his field of vision.

The trait of being well-trained enhanced both his reflexes and observational abilities substantially.

Memories of practicing with a 200-meter moving target overlapped with the present; Bai E first identified the agile worker subtypes and wasps mixed in with the swarm, prioritizing them for elimination.

The remaining slow, armored worker bugs were ignored. Originally the shields of the Bug Race's battle lines, they now hindered the other bugs' pursuit.

The only pity was... in a hit-and-run kite battle, it was hard to direct a large volume of firepower at a single target for a quick kill. The first kill might be the only combat experience he could gain in a short time.

But it was enough!

After all, he was only 4 points short.

...

"What a clear train of thought!"

"Decisive in judgment, precise in execution. Indeed, a real talent!"

Occasionally passing in front of the camera, Bai E's expression was calm, his eyes resolute, as if not at all concerned about his predicament.

Even when gunfire fell silent and magazines were emptied during a reload, he didn't falter due to the approaching bugs, displaying utmost calm.

The drone's aerial view revealed that because of Bai E's efforts, the bug forces behind the front lines split like a hurricane into countless branches.

Wherever Bai E went, he drew the attention of a large number of bugs who followed, chasing him. The bug tide pressing on the rookie squadron had no backing and was temporarily held off by the sparse gunfire.

Many in the rookie battalion also noticed the figure dancing within the swarm.

Rose watched with fervent eyes, "It's Bai E!"

He always managed to create miracles!

["Lucky Strike" Charge +50!](Cumulative)

["Lucky Strike" Charge has reached 133/100, now available for use!]

"Deservedly so for Carlos' adamant protection... This rookie is truly exceptional!"

"Is it reasonable to consider awarding him a Gene Optimization Solution?"

Bai E's outstanding performance caught the attention of nearly everyone, the atmosphere was fervent.

Only Yue Ying in the corner of the base vehicle remained quiet, her eyes filled with concern.

Despite the seemingly glorious success, 95B27's actions were undoubtedly like dancing on the edge of a knife. Each time, he barely missed death's grasp; if caught by any of the bugs, his advantage would vanish instantly.

The bugs might be continuously distracted, but he couldn't afford a single mistake.

Moreover... as the attracted bugs increased, Bai E's maneuvering space became more restricted. He had already put himself in a perilous position, not one he could easily walk away from now.

Yue Ying slightly closed her eyes, the numerous bug shadows in her mind abruptly speeding up, interweaving around Bai E who always seemed to choose an almost impossible optimal path for kiting, but in the end...

Yue Ying suddenly opened her eyes.

Hamilton's mocking voice almost synchronized, "Let's see if he can survive first..."

With pursuers ahead and tigers behind...

Bai E's steps faltered slightly as he realized he was completely surrounded by the bugs.

Even with their low intelligence, numbers were their unbeatable weapon!

"He's done for..."

Carlos suddenly got up, bellowing, "Deploy the armed drones!"

"Veslin just said... anyone can die. If we use the armed drones, this test will have no meaning," someone said slowly and deliberately.

...

Far within the front lines, Rose also noticed Bai E's predicament from a distance.

"Damn!"

With a swing of her battle saber, Rose's sonorous voice exploded over the front lines, "Follow me! Rescue our hero!"

...

Trapped, Bai E smiled wryly.

It seemed the choice of his skill tree was no longer important, as his situation had made the choice for him—

Gun Fighting Skill!
