After Marking Commander O, I was Forced to a Flash Marriage

Bai Yuxi immediately turned toward Li Gengcheng upon hearing those words.

“Hey, you two students over there, hurry up and gather! What are you still standing around for?” The instructor at the starting point called out.

Ren Qingqiu gently tugged at Bai Yuxi’s hand.

“Let’s go, commander.”

Frowning, Ren Qingqiu turned and walked toward the starting point.

Bai Yuxi glanced at her, noticing for the first time how troubled this alpha seemed.

“Is this the person who took you out of the Eastern Military Detention Center?”

“Yes. Although I didn’t know what he looked like then, his voice left a deep impression on me—it’s something I can’t forget.”

Ren Qingqiu smiled faintly.

That smile lacked vibrancy, feeling unusually hollow.

“What are you all doing? Get on the bus!” The instructor urged them to board the vehicle.

Bai Yuxi tightened her grip on the military knife in her hand and turned to look where the chief examiner stood. Li Gengcheng was also watching them.

Listening to the instructor’s urging, Ren Qingqiu quickly opened Kong Youxi’s contact on her terminal and typed out a few words.

“Li Gengcheng.”

She didn’t say much, just hurriedly sent those two words.

Moments later, a reply from Kong Youxi appeared almost instantly.

“Okay.”

Bai Yuxi glanced at Ren Qingqiu’s terminal and saw Kong Youxi’s brief reply, which contained no further questions—just an “Okay.”

“What’s wrong?” Ren Qingqiu noticed she was standing still and looked back.

“Nothing.”

Bai Yuxi said no more.

While she had no objections to Ren Qingqiu relying on Kong Youxi’s strength, the intimate way they communicated with just a few words made her feel uncomfortable.

Under the instructor’s guidance, students from various military academies picked up their competition terminals and, donning their goggles and headphones, boarded the vehicles one by one.

Tule was an island that had truly sunk beneath the waves. The original town had a small population, and the land was now submerged, leaving only a few buildings jutting above the water.

The reason for the rising sea levels that drowned the city remained unclear.

According to reports, one day, after a month of delivering supplies to the island, the boat crew suddenly found that the island had vanished.

The entire island sank into the sea like a sunken ship.

All its residents disappeared, and the remaining buildings that hadn’t sunk were left with rotting food inside. A calendar hung on the wall, frozen in time, stuck on a day in May.

With the disappearance of the island’s inhabitants, a swarm of marine polyploid organisms and amphibious polyploid creatures emerged. Even with military intervention, new waves of these creatures quickly followed, as if they were endless.

Accessing Tule required a journey first by land and then by water; this area was densely populated with polyploid organisms, making it extremely dangerous. Therefore, for nearly a year, apart from personnel from the Western Military Headquarters, very few others had been able to enter.
