Chapter 1362: She’s Not Scared at All
Lin Shuya’s eyes were widened as she laid in the bush. There seemed to be blood in her eyes and there were fatal bite wounds from wild animals on the lower half of her body. Her eyes stayed wide open as she lay dead in the bushes that covered her body.
The sight that the student who shouted just now saw was Lin Shuya’s widened eyes with blood seeping in them—almost like a grudging female ghost in the movies.
Lin Shuya’s body was already cold and rigid. This was how a dead person’s body was.
One’s body would turn hard completely within an hour of death. It was also why elders had to be changed into their burial clothes within an hour of their death. If they died and were not changed into other clothes in time, it would be a challenge to do that an hour later.
Back to the reality—the student fell to the ground and scrambled far away the moment he saw Lin Shuya’s corpse.
Everyone screamed once they heard what the student said. The fear, panic and terror were felt deep in their bones.
“No… H-how’s that possible? How could Shuya have died… It’s impossible! Impossible…” Han Ming dared not go forward for a look.
Leng Hanzhe’s hands were shaking at the news but he braved himself and went up to check with a few other guys who were bolder. Before he went, he told Mu Ying, “Yingying, don’t be scared. Stay here—”
He did not get to finish his sentence as Mu Ying followed Yun Jian to where Lin Shuya’s body was.
“She’s d-dead… She’s r-really dead…” Xu Wei who had previously argued with Lin Shuya on the cruise ship fell to the ground in fear as well.
“I want to go home… Wu-wu-wu…” Some guys cried at the sight and wailed about going home.
Wen Peiling and Xiang Chishi stumbled back looking aghast.
For a moment, everyone cried about going home with pale faces.
In contrast, Yun Jian and Mu Ying went up to move the body from the bushes and checked it carefully. Yun Jian scrutinized the body before she straightened up.
“Yun Jian, have you discovered anything?” Leng Hanzhe went forward and asked her, forcing himself not to look at Lin Shuya’s corpse that the lower body seemed to have been mutilated by wild animals.
“No,” Yun Jian answered calmly with a shake of head despite a glint in her eyes.
“It’s here, the helicopter’s here!”
Some of the students saw the helicopter descending and spotted their drillmaster’s face at the same time.
Drillmaster Zhou saw the corpse once he got out of the helicopter. With a tightly knitted frown, he barked, “What happened?!”
The students immediately relayed the events that happened in sobs.
The frown between Drillmaster Zhou’s brows had only furrowed deeper when he was aware of the entire situation. It was an incredibly troublesome matter for something to happen to a student during the military training! Despite that, it had already happened…
“Drillmaster, we want to go home!”
“We don’t want to stay here anymore… Wu-wu…”
All the students were wailing and making noises about leaving that not one person was willing to stay ultimately—except Yun Jian.
“I’m not leaving. The competition hasn’t end,” Yun Jian said impassively. Her expression was also so collected that one could barely figure out what she was currently thinking.
No matter the result of the competition, the preliminary assessment of the cause of Lin Shuya’s death was a wild animal attack.
In addition to the swamp and snakes they had ran into prior to this, no student was willing to stay here. Who knew what would happen if they lingered around!
“Yun Jian, are you sure you’re not leaving?” Drillmaster Zhou was surprised.
“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded.
“It’s you? It’s you! You caused my cousin’s death! You planned it, didn’t you? If it isn’t you, how’d you know about the signal jammers and be so well versed with the conditions here? You must’ve killed my cousin! You held a grudge because of how she’s treated you!”
Han Ming yelled in berserk in front of the instructor with a finger pointed at Yun Jian.
“Why didn’t you mention about your cousin’s argument with the girl from Woolim Military School? The girl from Woolim is an even greater suspect in this case!” Lin Yuan fought back for Yun Jian.
“I didn’t do it!” Xu Wei shouted back crying.
“I won’t leave before the competition ends.” Yun Jian’s unfazed voice rang again.
It was as if the death of someone who had been squabbling around herjust yesterday did not affect her one bit. It was like death was more than normal to her.
While everyone was terrified, they doubted Yun Jian. More than that, they were shocked that she was not scared at all!
How could she not be scared when Lin Shuya had died? Was she really just a regular student?!
