Zhou Ling Yun's demonic eyes swept across the field of soldiers before automatically fixing on that illustrious position, but to his surprise, it was vacant. He stood silently on the platform for about a minute, waiting for Bai Luo Yin to report in late. But in the end, his ears remained very peaceful the entire time.

"Where is the Battalion Commander, Bai Luo Yin?" Zhou Ling Yun's astute voice sounded.

No one below uttered a word as a strong sense of oppression spread throughout the training field.

Zhou Ling Yun asked again, "Does anyone know his situation? Who did he ask for a leave of absence?"

Still no one answered.

Seeing that, Zhou Ling Yun's brows drew into a frown before he waved for the Chief of Staff to approach him. Then in a low voice, he said, "I am leaving these soldiers for you to train. I have to go check on Xiao Bai."

The Chief of Staff also had a look of anxiety, "Hurry and go check, hopefully nothing happened."

In the minds of all those officers, Bai Luo Yin has never once been late for any reason; don't even mention brazenly evading training sessions.

Zhou Ling Yun quickly walked to Bai Luo Yin's dorm, and once he arrived, he saw that the lights inside were still on. As he pushed the door open, he was greeted with a deep sense of warmth circulating in the room. It did not seem the least like no one was there. However, when Zhou Ling Yun went to Bai Luo Yin's bedside and lifted the blanket for a look, it was empty, and there was no one in the other rooms either.

Still feeling a bit confused, he made his way out of the room only to see a clear row of tire tracks leading away as far as his eyes can distinguish.

He didn't request a leave of absence? Or write a report? And secretly left?...While Zhou Ling Yun was busy contemplating, his cell phone suddenly went off.

"Wing Commander, please come quick. There has been an accident," an anxious and frantic voice came from the other side.

Zhou Ling Yun's voice sank, "What happened?"

"The person you...you brought for us to keep an eye on, he...he committed suicide..."

"What?!" Zhou Ling Yun was utterly shocked, "What is the situation now?"

"We are not sure since we are not able to open the cabin door. But what we can only make out is a mist of blood pervading the inside, making it impossible to see the person's shadow."

Zhou Ling Yun hung up and immediately rushed away from Bai Luo Yin's dorm, taking rather larges strides as he ran toward the experimental base.

Gu Yang had use a blunt instrument he found in the micro-g environment to make a cut on his skin. However, with the absence of gravity (little to none), the blood quickly pervaded the entire cabin. He had taken such a drastic step just for the purpose of catching the attention of the guarding soldiers. But—since he took off his aviation outfit in the process which inadvertently expose his body to a vacuumed environment—it did not take long for his blood to boil, causing him to instantly lose consciousness and putting his life in imminent peril.

The situation was extremely dangerous. If rescue did not come on time, it is possible that his internal organs would be forced out of his body.

Once Zhou Ling Yun arrived at the experimental base, he immediately opened the micro-g cabin. As air poured inside, Gu Yang's body quickly dropped to the floor with a thud.
