Chapter 158: The Mysterious Person in the Wheelchair
Warrior School, although the vast majority of people are still completely in the dark, yet there is a group who have already indeed sensed the signs of an impending storm.
Moreover, the trainees from all over the world, after the third instructor change, have also been regrouped.
Actually it's simple: just take all members of the action team that previously participated in capturing Xiezi, move them separately to another dormitory building, and have them stand by with live ammunition 24/7, never parting with their guns.
After training ended that evening, Wang Yanbing mysteriously called Liu Xiaotian, He Chen Guang, and Li Erniu together; his voice was so low it was hardly louder than the vibration of a mosquito's wings in flight:
"Hey, do you guys feel that something big is about to happen here?"
The three, who had thought this guy had gotten some more 'inside information,' simultaneously showed expressions of disdain upon hearing this.
Even the usually taciturn Li Erniu was the same.
"Not exactly; I just feel that person probably isn't paralyzed in the lower limbs."
In one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'
If it weren't for his memory and observation skills improving after receiving the system's assistance, he would surely have forgotten this person's existence entirely, just like He Chen Guang and Li Erniu.
"Do you remember being punished when we first arrived here? It was that female doctor named Natasha, right?"
Being able to move freely throughout most of the Warrior School premises is also his sole special privilege compared to the other trainees.
Of course, what most caught Wang Yanbing's attention was that the wheelchair could mechanically transform into a device that assists the person sitting in it to stand up—a kind of 'black technology' product somewhat like an exoskeleton.
Because the lurker in the shadows has obviously taken him as a target, and sitting idle awaiting death is absolutely not Liu Xiaotian's nature.
Does he even need to say it? Those guns, with chambers loaded and safeties off, ready to fire, aren't they proof enough?
He also knows that doing so will inevitably provoke dissatisfaction among the other hand-trained soldiers out of jealousy, suspicion, and so on, yet he still does it.
To put it in a phrase describing his current character: he would rather fall on the road of attack than shrink in cover awaiting fate's judgment!
"Cut the crap, hurry up and say what you've found!"
"Why suddenly bring up that person? Is there a problem?"
Even so, he still cannot recall that person's face.
He absolutely does not doubt the truth of He Chen Guang's words.
That remark, however, successfully caught the three's attention.
It is precisely because of his action that I realized a problem.
Faced with the trio's contemptuous and scornful looks, Wang Yanbing felt a bit embarrassed, coughed twice, and then said:
Liu Xiaotian remembers clearly that the person didn't utter a single word at the time, merely sitting quietly while a medical staffer pushed him, not even glancing in the direction of Liu Xiaotian and the others.
But unexpectedly, the person in the wheelchair detected my gaze right away and made a strange movement.
Just like He Chen Guang and Li Erniu now, who are also parties to the incident, yet they simply cannot recall that such a person existed back then.
"I'm telling you, what you're guessing is just speculation; I truly have made a discovery!"
Since that incident involving Tang Xinyi, he has been 'cleaned up' by Liu Xiaotian and the others several times already.
Liu Xiaotian frowned slightly, his voice low as he asked:
"When I first saw his exposed ankle, I clearly saw it moving!"
The mysterious look on Wang Yanbing's face deepened; he deliberately held his breath for a few seconds before speaking, his voice even weaker: Actually, Wang Yanbing is the one among the four who should most overlook that person's existence.
He Chen Guang, impatient, jabbed him in the ribs and said in a low voice:
Liu Xiaotian looked at Wang Yanbing somewhat surprised, and asked in a low voice:
Wang Yanbing, asked that way, felt a bit embarrassed, even a little shy:
Hearing him say that, Liu Xiaotian immediately recalled the person he was talking about.
"Hey kid, stop squeezing out words like a maiden farting—can you?"
Moreover, since Xiezi was captured, that kindly‑looking Elder Principal has hardly shown his face; could it be that he married a young wife?
Liu Xiaotian said nothing more.
However, this guy's brain works a bit differently from ordinary people's; at the time he focused on the wheelchair beneath that person.
These past days, he has carefully analyzed and observed all the instructors and assistant instructors at Warrior School, yet found no one worth suspicion.
"That person moved the blanket covering his legs, shielding the previously exposed ankle."
Immediately, he gave up the teasing tone and spoke solemnly:
Wang Yanbing curled his lips:
Wang Yanbing's expression instantly froze.
Undeniably, that wheelchair is absolutely advanced, its seat design highly ergonomic; not to mention being able to move the upper body, even if only a single finger can twitch slightly, it can still be operated well to go forward and backward.
"Hey kid, can you hurry up and say it? Stop dawdling, or don't blame us three for throwing you off the second floor!"
However, that person is an existence that hardly draws anyone's attention.
Wang Yanbing helplessly glanced at Liu Xiaotian, then continued:
Being thrown off the second floor by those three, Wang Yanbing has no doubt about it.
If he never spoke, you would even, when recalling the scene later, completely overlook him.
"How did you discover it?" Liu Xiaotian pressed.
His remark left Liu Xiaotian momentarily stunned.
Liu Xiaotian's brows furrowed even tighter:
"Well, before I joined the army, I was especially fond of mechanical stuff, thought it amazing; that's why, upon seeing that wheelchair, I instantly recognized it as a black‑technology aid with near‑sci‑fi level functionality, so I took a few extra looks."
"I remember that on the day Natasha appeared together with someone, there was also a guy in a wheelchair—did you notice him?"
Normally, a person in a wheelchair doesn't mean both legs are completely immobile, and covering up with a blanket can be understood as worrying about catching a chill.
But under the present circumstances, all of this has become suspicious points worth doubting.
However, he doesn't know who that person is, nor what position he holds at Warrior School, or where to find him.
One could say that Wang Yanbing bringing up that person is mostly just him idly messing around with Liu Xiaotian and the other two, trying to be mysterious.
But to Liu Xiaotian, this person really has quite a few suspicious points...
