Chapter 138: 142 is dangerous, not an amulet

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Lingxi noticed that Song Lili had been staring at the helicopter circling above them for a while and couldn’t help but ask.

"Nothing..."

Song Lili withdrew her gaze and responded indifferently.

Shen Lingxi frowned slightly and unconsciously watched the helicopter for a few extra seconds, but she didn’t spot anything amiss.

The three members of Liu Fan’s group had been following behind Shen Lingxi and Song Lili without revealing themselves to obstruct them; evidently, Shen Lingxi’s amulet was working.

The Skybridge, suspended a kilometer above the ground, wasn’t particularly high for a cable bridge, but for those crossing on foot, it was most certainly thrilling.

On each side, six thick iron chains connected to the handrails, and more chains linked the bridge’s planks, which were covered with sturdy wooden boards, though the boards seemed worn and tattered from long use. Generally speaking, the safety factor was still considered high.

However, suspended a kilometer up in the air, the bridge would sway with the wind, making it unsettling just to look at.

Before stepping onto the bridge, Song Lili and Shen Lingxi saw the silhouettes of the previous group not too far ahead, but soon their figures vanished, probably having crossed the bridge successfully.

"Let’s go."

Song Lili said to Shen Lingxi.

Both were efficient by nature, and even though they felt fear inside, they suppressed it, never letting it show on their faces.

"Do you think those three behind us will keep following?"

"I think their operational area is just Luoheng Mountain. At least the map I have shows all five ambush points on Luoheng Mountain."

"...How did you come by this information?"

The two walked together, and to avoid boredom, Shen Lingxi casually struck up a conversation with Song Lili.

Song Lili didn’t hide anything, especially since they had seemingly passed the challenge of Luoheng Mountain.

After hearing Song Lili’s explanation, a somber light flashed in Shen Lingxi’s eyes. She took a deep breath, holding it within her heart...

Song Lili’s reaction ability, her military knowledge, and her decisiveness at critical moments had far surpassed Shen Lingxi’s expectations.

The selection wasn’t as dangerous as Lu Ziqing had initially claimed; those harsh words were simply to deter the timid and fearful.

In reality, from the time they entered Luoshu Mountain, with half of the journey behind them, both rescue helicopters and surveillance cameras installed throughout the mountains had been safeguarding the lives of these recruits.

Nevertheless, the selection methods could still determine everyone’s capabilities and qualifications without the presence of genuine danger.

If all that Tang Xiaohua had done caught the attention of the military commanders... Shen Lingxi thought, Tang Xiaohua passing the selection was beyond question. At least, her performance had fallen far short of Tang Xiaohua’s in every aspect.

Shen Lingxi glanced down; there were significant gaps between the wooden boards, through which she could see the foggy abyss below. If one were to fall from here—

Nothing would remain but shattered bones.

Song Lili walked ahead, each step seeming careful and measured, and Shen Lingxi fixed her gaze on her figure...

"Buzzing..."

The sound of the helicopter circling overhead grew louder and quieter intermittently. As Shen Lingxi’s thoughts delved into a dark struggle, the resounding drone of the helicopter roused her!

She realized why that single helicopter was continuously circling above the Skybridge—it was likely there to monitor their crossing.
