What was initially thought to be a spectacular contest turned out to be completely unexpected.

Almost as soon as Louis and his group moved, the two who were fighting fiercely stopped immediately and looked intently at Mu Tao and his group.

The moment their eyes met, Mu Tao and the others stopped in their tracks, their hearts skipping a beat.

Holy crap, there's a murderous aura about him.

Is it okay to move at this time?

Absolutely not.

Facing a battle-hardened expert whose fighting skills, physique, and mental strength are all at the double S level, sorry, they don't want to end up half-dead.

So, the five of them stopped and stood still, playing the "statues" game.

Emmanuel and Elliott stood side by side, their eyes fixed intently on them.

A silence fell over the room.

So, what's the current situation?

Are these two big shots planning to take down Louis and his crew?

[Waaaaah, my handsome man, how could you be so useless? You're supposed to be a mental powerhouse! Attack! Stop standing there pretending to be dead, that's a problem.]

[This is getting exciting; I'm just hoping they start fighting.]

[It's better not to fight. Mu Tao and his group are definitely no match for Elliott and Emmanuel.]

【···】

The audience started discussing, and Monet asked in bewilderment, "Why are they all standing still?"

Sang Ning hesitated and said, "...Maybe it's a matter of me not moving if the enemy doesn't move."

"What if the enemy makes a move?"

"Should I stay put or make a move?"

Sang Ning casually chimed in, only realizing her mistake after she finished speaking. She instinctively tried to explain, but Mo Nainai rolled her eyes at her.

"You're underestimating Big Peach. Don't worry, they'll charge in for survival."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Mu Tao smiled and waved her paw at Emmanuel and the others.

Hi, good afternoon!

"It's truly fate that we met here. By the way, have you eaten yet?"

"We haven't eaten yet, but that's okay, we have fruit. Hey, who poked me?"

The pain in his waist made him cry out and turn his head to look. Then, he met Philoya's murderous gaze.

Are you a pig?

The moment their eyes met, Fimonloa decisively mocked, "Think carefully about what kind of nonsense you're spouting."

She lowered her voice when she said this, but it was to no avail.

Not only did the live stream perfectly capture the sound, but even Emmanuel and his group, who were just a few meters away, heard it all clearly.

The two exchanged a glance and confirmed that this was a genuine group of bronze-level experts.

His gaze swept over the five people. After exchanging a glance with the other two, Emmanuel smiled and said, "Here to steal the supply packs?"

Emmanuel was a tall, handsome man standing at 2.3 meters, with long legs and arms, and a strong facial structure. He was the kind of guy who would make people subconsciously think of a headmaster when they saw him.

He was very imposing and looked quite fierce.

A smile is supposed to be the best way to express friendliness, but when Emmanuel smiled, Louis and his companions not only failed to perceive it as friendly, but also took several steps back in unison, their movements so synchronized that it seemed as if they had been specially trained.

But honestly, they really hadn't trained.

Upon realizing what they had done, Mu Tao and the others froze on their faces.

Emmanuel's smile froze.

Elliott burst into laughter upon seeing this, making sarcastic remarks as he laughed.

"I've told you so many times, don't laugh, don't laugh. You're fierce enough when you don't laugh. Your laughter can scare little cubs to tears, and even adults will have nightmares."

"Shut up."

Emmanuel reprimanded him, his face turning ashen.

Elliott wasn't afraid of him at all. He waved to Louis and the others, "Don't be afraid of him, he's just a paper tiger, and he's the kindest person around."

"Come here, take two survival kits and leave."

"ah?"

The group was shocked, and Phylloa was even more dazed, saying, "Big bosses, weren't you fighting to monopolize the survival pack?"

How could they suddenly have such a kind heart and allow them to take two?

conspiracy.

There must be a conspiracy.

"We just had a friendly spar, we didn't mean to monopolize the survival pack."

Emmanuel explained, but Louis and the others did not believe him.

Whether they believe it or not doesn't matter; the immediate priority is survival kits.

"You really want us to take two?"

Pointing to the survival kit, Philoya said in disbelief.

"real."

The two nodded, and Philoya was immediately delighted. She excitedly nudged Mutao and Clyde, "Go and pick up two more!"

"Really picking them up?"

The two dared not move, and they suspected a conspiracy.

Normally, I wouldn't say anything, I'd just go up, grab it, and leave without a problem.

But the situation is different now. They are participating in wilderness survival, and survival kits are not a necessity for the production team. They were provided this time, but the next time is uncertain.

Therefore, the existence of a survival kit is extremely important for players.

However, in contrast, all the contestants are on the opposite side.

Don't be fooled by their current team-up and seemingly good relationship; it's all an illusion.

When it really comes down to it, they're not incapable of backstabbing their competitors to eliminate them in order to achieve ultimate victory.

The reason we haven't chosen to do so now is because the time isn't right yet.

But Emmanuel and his group weren't temporary teammates, nor did they have any prior relationship. With only a few survival kits, they were still generously given two to take. It felt like, how should I put it, a pie falling from the sky but no one dared to pick it up.

The two remained still. Emmanuel cleared his throat. "You can take it, but there are conditions."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tao and the others felt relieved; being generous with a purpose was better than being fake.

At least they could weigh the pros and cons based on what Emmanuel and the others said.

Good.

Thinking of this, Mu Tao asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Take us with you."

"ah?"

Mu Tao and the others were stunned, the audience was stunned, and Sang Ning and Mo Nainai looked at each other in disbelief.

"You heard right, take us with you."

Emmanuel retorted confidently, "Anyway, you already have seven people, so adding the two of us won't make much difference."

"It won't affect anything."

These words left everyone utterly bewildered.

Holy crap, what do you mean by "bringing you two along won't affect anything"?

How thick-skinned must one be to say something so frankly?

Emmanuel and the others turned their attention to Louis, who was the strongest and should have some say in the matter.

As if knowing what they were thinking, Louis looked at the two of them very seriously and said, "You don't need to look at me. I'm a kept man and can't make decisions for the team."

The implication is that he has no say and that he has misjudged the person.

"Then ask Sang Ning."

Emmanuel glanced at the display on his wristband. "You'd better hurry up. The others are getting closer. If you make a decision sooner, we can get more survival packs. Otherwise, you'll be in a free-for-all."
