A strong sense of unease, like a venomous snake, instantly gripped Bai Wei's heart, and the color drained from her face in an instant.

She tried to remain calm, her voice carrying a hint of self-comfort, but it involuntarily became tense:

"Sun Erniu from Zhao Yan's squad escaped with all the flags and red flags our team captured... Lin Hao is in charge of chasing after Sun Erniu. Lin Hao... he will definitely bring all the flags back safely..."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately noticed that Zhao Yan, who was in the elimination zone, had a livid face, and Sun Erniu, who was beside her, was indeed nowhere to be seen.

Lei Kuan's sharp gaze immediately fell on Zhao Yan in the elimination zone: "Zhao Yan, what happened? Where are your teammates?"

Zhao Yan was already furious, and she was even more annoyed to see her nemesis Su An stealing the spotlight. But compared to Bai Wei, who was a treacherous villain, Su An seemed much more lovable.

When she was called out, she sneered, stepped out of the elimination zone, crossed her arms, and looked Bai Wei up and down with disdain.

"Reporting to the instructor, Bai Wei is right. I did indeed let Sun Erniu take all our flags first, including the red flag that we snatched from Qiao Lin and the others."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei's expression softened slightly, and she felt that Zhao Yan was quite sensible.

But Zhao Yan's next words were like a poisoned knife, stabbing her heart hard.

“However…” Zhao Yan drawled out, laughing sarcastically, “Su An’s assessment of her weakness is accurate. After all, I punched Bai Wei so hard her nose was bruised and she looked like a dog. With her attitude, she dares to say the Red Flag is their team’s trophy? Does she deserve it?”

"Zhao Yan! What nonsense are you spouting!" Bai Wei could no longer maintain her composure and shouted sharply.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Zhao Yan said as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Bai Wei, you're a hypocrite! You used me as cannon fodder, stole the credit, and then turned your back on me. Now you want to accuse others of cheating to get back at yourself? Is your skin bulletproof? It's so thick!"

The two publicly broke off their relationship, leaving everyone stunned.

Su Tang found the dog-eat-dog show rather amusing.

Ignoring Bai Wei's near-collapse, she turned to Lei Kuan again and said calmly, "Reporting to the instructor, all the flags of our squad are displayed here. Whether they are real or fake will be clear with a simple check. As for the origin of these flags, I think we will soon have witnesses who can prove our innocence."

She pronounced the words "witness" with exceptional clarity.

Lei Kuan gave Su Tang a deep look. This female soldier's composure and calmness had exceeded what a new recruit should have.

Without further hesitation, he waved to Zhang Ruobing, the female instructor beside him, and said, "Instructor Zhang, check the flag!"

"yes!"

Zhang Ruobing immediately stepped forward and took the red flag that had caused such a huge uproar from Chen Xiaocao's hands.

Everyone held their breath at that moment.

Bai Wei's heart leaped into her throat. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, muttering repeatedly, "It's fake, it must be fake, it has to be fake..."

Zhang Ruobing is one of the people in charge of making the flags. She knows everything about the flags, from the materials and dyes to the stitching on the edges.

She unfurled the red flag, carefully examined the texture and color of the fabric, rubbed the edges of the flag with her fingers, and finally even brought the flag to her nose to smell its unique ink scent.
