Nan Zhu's movements were so fluid and seamless that almost no one had time to react.
However, Lin Beiyue's mental fortitude was clearly better than Ji Chuan's. While Ji Chuan was so frightened that he was stiff and unable to move, Lin Beiyue had already fully recovered and swung her machete to the side.
Taking advantage of Xiong Da's large size and lack of agility, Lin Beiyue kicked Xiong Da in the back of the knee, and the machete in her hand instantly turned into a sharp spike, pointing at Xiong Da's left eye.
"Stop!" Lin Beiyue shouted at Nan Zhu, "Now we each have a hostage."
She reacted quickly, and Nan Zhu had just arrived in front of Ji Chuan at that moment.
However, upon hearing Lin Beiyue's words, Nan Zhu merely glanced back indifferently, his hand continuing its movements without pause, viciously stabbing towards Ji Chuan's neck.
On the ring, the situation reversed once again.
Lin Beiyue never expected that Nan Zhu would completely disregard his teammates.
The anticipated scenario of each person holding one hostage and then releasing them to form a two-on-two situation did not occur. Lin Beiyue gritted her teeth, put down the hostage, and swung her machete at Nan Zhu.
At this moment, Nan Zhu was facing Ji Chuan, with her back to Lin Bei Yue.
"when--"
Another crisp sound rang out. It seemed as if Lin Beiyue had anticipated Nan Zhu's prediction. Nan Zhu turned his right hand behind his back and held the short knife upright. The short knife and the cleaver clashed, and he had actually anticipated Lin Beiyue's prediction.
"Can you see what's wrong?" Shi Yin crossed her arms and looked at the chief commander beside her.
The Commander-in-Chief had a furrowed brow and a rather unpleasant expression from the beginning, resting his chin on his hand as if deep in thought.
"Waaah!"
"ah!"
With two screams, Lin Beiyue and Ji Chuan were subdued one after the other.
Lin Beiyue was relatively lucky; Nan Zhu seized the opportunity to lock her wrist and pin her to the ground with a grappling move. Ji Chuan wasn't so fortunate; he was kicked a long way by the side and rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
Throughout the entire process, Nan Zhu's hair and suit remained perfectly in place, and apart from the cut on his right arm that he had left to keep himself alert, he appeared remarkably relaxed.
"Impressive skills." Qin Jin exclaimed in surprise from the crowd, "Is this Nan Zhu even stronger than me?"
"Uncle Qin, are you serious?" Gu Changge asked in surprise. Qin Jin was a former special police officer who had carried out many difficult missions. Gu Changge knew Qin Jin's pride, so why would he so easily admit that he was inferior to Nan Zhu?
"Maybe? A little bit. My chances of winning against him are at most 50%." Qin Jin frowned. "The main problem is that this person is too calm. From beginning to end, he didn't even have any emotional fluctuations. It's really terrifying."
Except for the time when Ji Chuan's influence caused him to pause slightly, Qin Jin's insight was so sharp that he immediately noticed that Nan Zhu was interfered with for a much shorter time than others.
"Xiong Da, Nan Zhu, you won. You'll each receive 100 points." Shi Yin announced, ending the battle. "Everyone, go back and write your reports. Tomorrow, the expert team will hold a meeting to analyze this battle."
"Xiong Da did a great job in this battle. Ji Chuan, the three of you come with me." Shi Yin said, then turned and left.
"Isn't this too strict?" The leader followed Shi Yin with some helplessness: "They are ordinary people, still young, and haven't had their powers for very long."
“You’re right. It would be very strict to demand this of others, but they are members of the Shadow Squad,” Shi Yin said softly. “You can all take your time, but they have to grow up.”
“No, I mean you’re too hard on yourself.” The commander shook his head. “You’ve played almost every role you can. You’re taking on too much responsibility and you probably can’t manage it all.”
“You need to rest.” The commander walked beside Shi Yin. “I’ve seen the order that Ji Chuan gave to Ye Shaoheng. I’ve issued the order in my own name.”
“No wonder you didn’t want anyone other than Ji Chuan and Ye Shaoheng to handle this matter.” The commander sighed: “Every rescue route and protection you have seems appropriate and arbitrary, but… it just so happens to include all your family members.”
Shi Yin: "..."
“Only those two wouldn’t overthink it. If it were any of your other smart men, they would probably see through it immediately.” Noticing Shi Yin’s silence, the commander didn’t think anything of it. He didn’t believe Shi Yin would find him offensive.
From the very beginning, their partnership was destined to be based on mutual trust.
Shi Yin: "...Thank you."
The Consul General said, "You're shy."
Shi Yin: "..."
"No." Shi Yin silently looked away: "Mutual benefit is the way to go."
"Your ears are red." The commander-in-chief crossed his arms and smiled.
Shi Yin subconsciously raised her hand to touch it, but didn't feel any change in temperature. When she looked back, she realized that the leader had done it on purpose.
“Hey…” Shi Yin said helplessly.
"Haha, just kidding. You're about the same age as my daughter, you need to be energetic sometimes." The Consul General said with a smile, "You've protected my child and wife too, I should be thanking you."
"Aren't you going home to visit? It shouldn't be that stressful yet."
"No, thank you for believing me." Shi Yin refused directly.
"Why are we talking about this?" The commander said helplessly, "More than this, I regret that you came to me so late. You said you've been reborn more than a thousand times, but I didn't participate in the first few hundred."
“I’m not always qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with you.” Shi Yin shook her head: “I’m just an ordinary person.”
The two walked into Shi Yin's office together. This office was the best and most soundproof. Once inside and the door was closed, the sounds outside immediately disappeared.
The office is decorated in a very simple style, with black, white and gray colors. As soon as you enter, you feel like the temperature has dropped by two degrees.
"Are you about to start reprimanding people?" The headmaster looked at Shi Yin's posture at the desk and found it a little amusing: "At least I feel that your secretary is doing a good job."
"He did perform well in combat, but since he's my secretary, he made a fatal mistake that he shouldn't have made." Shi Yin said calmly.
"Knock knock knock".
"Enter."
Three people walked in from outside, all looking somewhat dejected, clearly anticipating that what Shi Yin was about to say wouldn't be anything nice.
"How do you think of your performance in this battle?" Shi Yin looked at the three of them, her expression calm: "Nan Zhu, you're the last one."
“Yes, Miss.” Nan Zhu hadn’t planned to be the first to speak, but when Shi Yin spoke, he immediately took a step back.
An eerie silence fell over the office. Lin Beiyue and Ji Chuan lowered their heads, barely daring to breathe.
"Are you mute?" Shi Yin raised an eyebrow: "If you can't figure it out, then go back. Each of you will lose 100 points, watch the video, go back and write a report. You can read the approved report after I approve it."
100 points? Are you kidding me?
Ji Chuan and Lin Beiyue felt a chill run down their spines.
An ordinary zombie is worth only 0.1 points, and you can only get one point by training every day. They are still in the early stages and haven't gone out to experience many battles yet, so the points they have are naturally very few, only the points earned from training.
If they were to suddenly lose 100 points, neither of them would escape the fate of having negative points. They would end up in debt without getting any benefits!
