Chapter 1209: Chapter 705: Intensive Training, Explosive Improvement, Three-Year Agreement_4 Chapter 1209: Chapter 705: Intensive Training, Explosive Improvement, Three-Year Agreement_4 The difference between Flying Tiger Team and other people lies in their “fear of death.”

This “fear of death” is not due to cowardice but stems from the innate fear of death in human nature; it is a human instinct.

No matter how high their level of awareness, one cannot completely overcome their nature.

Ordinary people’s idea of fearlessness is just seeing through life, putting their ideals above life, and then being forced to let go when faced with inevitable death, thus appearing detached.

Ultimately, fear is fear.

Sometimes, fearing is useless, and since one cannot escape, they can only face it calmly.

Throughout history, there are generally two kinds of fearless people.

The first kind knows that they would be more useful if they were alive and more meaningful, but they have reached a dead-end with no way out.

The second kind believes that their death can awaken more people like a bell’s chime, and that they are more valuable dead than alive. Even if they are afraid, they still must stick their necks out for the sake of something.

The “fear of death” in the minds of the young members of the Flying Tiger Team is like this.

They are not only afraid of their death but also afraid of their comrades’ death.

The inner “fear” prompts the young members of Flying Tiger Team to be more focused during training, more active in brainstorming, and to absorb more nutrients from every detail of training.

Compared to the Flying Tiger Team, other people with imprints are not afraid of death due to the constraints of the imprint. Instead, they are excessively eager to “achieve themselves through death” and “seek more valuable deaths.”

The loss of pressure is equivalent to the loss of motivation, which slows their progress.

Upon seeing this, Nora Camp’s headquarters immediately issued an order to try active removal of imprints among a small number of Glenoid Tribe Star warriors.

Unexpectedly, under the protection of various technical methods, several volunteers were still engulfed by the tidal wave of emotions and plunged into madness.

The others had to use force to barely prevent the situation from getting out of control.

Unfortunately, in the end, none of the volunteers survived. After the madness, their individual consciousness gradually collapsed and disappeared.

Obviously, not everyone can remove the imprint.

…

On the cold, deserted Glenoid Tribe satellite, a group of mantis-like armor is flying close to the ground.

This group consists of Nico Ross, Zero, Flying Tiger Team members, Bainesta, Glory Special Combat Team members, a total of sixty-one people.

Dozens of excavators and many more medium and small-sized transport armors followed behind them.

According to Zero, the next phase of Nico Ross’s special training had begun – from now on, practical combat and virtual training would be combined at high intensity.

The first target was a Glenoid Tribe supply base located 700 kilometers away from the team’s camp.

At this time, Zero’s Mantis armor took the lead, flying in the front, and Nico Ross’s armor followed in second place, with the autopilot mode activated.

Nico Ross’s consciousness was still in the virtual space, enduring Vivian’s “beating.”

After days of studying hard, he made great progress in his cultural knowledge.

Though not to the point of turning into a scholar, he was well-equipped to deal with daily life, no longer the “illiterate” he once was. He didn’t need to leave the conversation when others discussed more profound academic issues.

This was not only because of the star’s maturity, as mentioned, but because his heart now contained a “prompter.” Whenever he came across a difficult knowledge point, the “prompter” would automatically give him the right words to say.

This was different from learning-assistance chips. Once Nico Ross read according to the prompter, he understood things he didn’t before.

In just over a month, with the combined efforts of Vivian and the “prompter,” eleven-and-a-half-year-old Nico Ross’s knowledge gaps were completely closed.

After a nearly ten-minute sprint, the forward group arrived at the Glenoid Tribe supply base.

Before taking action, Zero briefed Nico Ross on a few key points.

First, they needed to conceal their tracks, ensuring their armor was not recognized as human disguise.

Second, they needed to be quick and clean, striking accurately once they made their move.

The third and most important point was, “If you fail, our existence will be completely exposed, and this covert operation will have to end prematurely. Commander Nora Camp’s plan will be entirely disrupted.”

Upon hearing this, Nico Ross felt uneasy, turned around and left, “This isn’t the time to launch an offensive attack…”
“If you leave, I’ll deliberately expose myself.”

“You…”

“So, go on. Leave it to you. We’ll cover you from here.”

Zero said so.

She was such an unreasonable person.

With a bitter smile, Nico Ross braced himself and sneaked in, his heart pounding for quite a while.

In the end, as Zero predicted, he managed to get the job done.

Zero didn’t praise him but only said a word to the rear, “Move.”

Immediately, Zero pointed in another direction, “Over there, more than ten giant beast-type tanks are undergoing intensive training. You will disguise yourself as a sparring Mantis-type armor and blend in. Under the pretense of sparring, dismantle the energy modules of these giant beast tanks.”

Nico Ross asked back, “No rest?”

Zero: “No.”

Zero’s words were righteous and unapologetic.
