"And then...and then she..." Wang Xiaoya seemed reluctant to say the rest.

Su Tang spoke for her, her voice devoid of emotion:

"Then she deliberately exposed herself, drawing all the firepower of those six people onto herself, creating an opportunity for you to escape, right?"

Wang Xiaoya bit her lip tightly and nodded forcefully. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly held them back and didn't let them fall.

She will never forget that scene.

Liu Landi, who was usually quiet and even somewhat introverted, was like a little leopard that had been completely enraged at that moment.

She gripped her gun and burst out from behind the rock where she was hiding. Without even glancing at Wang Xiaoya, she unleashed a furious barrage of fire in the direction where the enemy was most concentrated, suppressing their firepower, while simultaneously letting out a final, desperate roar:

"Wang Xiaoya! Run! Go find Su An—!"

The attention of the six people was instantly drawn to this "live target" that had suddenly appeared.

"Grab her! Don't let her get away!"

"The flag is on her!"

Gunshots, shouts, and the crackling sound of branches being broken by paintballs filled the air, and everyone instinctively chased after Liu Landi.

Wang Xiaoya, taking advantage of the brief chaos created by her companions' bodies in those ten-odd seconds, suppressed the urge to look back and escaped desperately from the opposite direction.

“Landi…she must have been eliminated…” Wang Xiaoya’s voice was hoarse, filled with self-blame. “It’s all my fault. I’m so useless. I’m just a burden…If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have needed to…”

Liu Landi may have already been "eliminated".

This thought weighed heavily on the hearts of Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao, like a boulder.

Chen Xiaocao's eyes also reddened. She bit her lip tightly, feeling both angry and fearful, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort her.

Throughout the entire process, Su Tang listened quietly without saying a word.

But the air pressure around her was getting lower and lower, and there seemed to be a storm brewing in her clear eyes.

She knew it very well.

From the very beginning of the assessment, she knew she would become the target of everyone's criticism. That's why she chose to be in a group with Chen Xiaocao, who was the weakest physically but had special talents, and she didn't join up with Wang Xiaoya and the others, for fear of being too conspicuous and being wiped out by everyone.

It's actually safer to act separately.

It now seems that Zhao Yan and Bai Wei's group searched the entire mountainside for her and Chen Xiaocao, only to find nothing. Unable to find the main culprits, they vented their immense anger on the relatively weaker Wang Xiaoya and Liu Landi.

This is displaced anger, and also a form of protest.

“Su An…we…we have to go…” Wang Xiaoya finally snapped out of her grief and self-blame. She tugged at Su Tang’s sleeve and looked around in panic. “There are so many of them…we just need to find a place to hide and wait until the assessment is over…”

Chen Xiaocao nodded subconsciously and whispered in agreement, "Yes, Su An, we have seventy points now, and with the thirty points Xiaoya brought, we'll have a hundred! That score will definitely put us in the top three! We don't need to take any risks..."

"hide?"

Su Tang finally spoke, her voice soft but carrying a chilling aura.

"Little girl, listen to me, Liu Landi will be alright."

Wang Xiaoya and Chen Xiaocao both looked up in surprise, staring at her in confusion.

"How is that possible... There are six of them..." Wang Xiaoya couldn't believe it. In her mind, the moment Liu Landi rushed out, her fate was sealed.

A cold, confident smile curved Su Tang's lips as she looked in the direction Liu Landi had disappeared.

“I’ll say it again, Liu Landi will be fine, because she’s not running away, she’s hunting.”
