Standing behind her was Comrade Bai Qinian, who had followed An Ning all the way. He thought he had hidden himself perfectly, without any flaws, but little did he know that this was just wishful thinking on his part.
They had already discovered him, but they just hadn't brought him out yet.
When Bai Qinian met Meng Qi's eyes, which were filled with doubt, he subconsciously looked away from her.
Why do I always feel like I'm going along with Anning's corrupt practices?
Bai Qinian tidied his words, and after a long while, he stammered, "Um... there is another infected person, Qi Lin."
Hearing this unexpected answer, An Ning couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Qi Lin?"
Bai Qinian nodded. "He is also an infected person."
"He doesn't really seem like it. He doesn't kill anyone or seek out his teammates."
Anning casually made a comment.
But to everyone's surprise, an awkward expression flashed across Bai Qinian's face as soon as he said this. "This is because... because he himself doesn't know that he is an infected person."
Another earth-shattering statement followed, and An Ning's face scrunched up in a frown. "Huh?"
Meng Qi, standing beside her, wasn't much better off, her brows furrowed deeply. "What do you mean?"
Knowing that his words would cause considerable turmoil, Bai Qinian dared not keep him in suspense, fearing that An Ning might pull out a knife and kill him in a fit of anger.
"It's just that... Qi Lin was infected by me. After the survival competition officially started, anyone who found his information card would discover that the blue on his information card was being swallowed up by red. Once the red had completely spread, Qi Lin would become a real infected person."
"Wait a minute." An Ning grasped the only key point in this long passage, "Are you saying that Qi Lin isn't a true infected person yet?"
Bai Qinian was taken aback. "You could say that, but he's not exactly a traveler right now; he's somewhere in between..."
"Then let's go find Xu Jiayi," An Ning suggested.
After getting rid of her, how Qi Lin and Qi Huan deal with her is entirely up to her mood.
Meng Qi wanted to refuse, but considering that she and An Ning were now teammates and that An Ning was incredibly strong, the words of refusal circled on her lips several times but she couldn't bring herself to say them. In the end, she simply said, "Okay."
Bai Qinian was more than willing. No sooner had An Ning finished speaking than he echoed her words without the slightest hesitation.
Perhaps due to bad luck, An Ning and her group encountered not Xu Jiayi, whom they were looking for, but Qi Huan and Qi Lin, whom they planned to deal with later.
Seeing An Ning and the others walking towards them side by side, Qi Huan almost immediately guessed who they were.
The infected people are having a party here.
"No way, Anning, you're a bad guy again?"
Qi Huan stopped in her tracks, standing there looking at An Ning and the two people beside her, her eyes filled with absurdity. "Why doesn't the director look at me? I can also adapt to this kind of role."
Seeing Qi Lin silently preparing to leave, An Ning immediately guessed what the two were up to.
You think you can just slip away in front of her?
"Qi Lin... why are you running away when you're infected?"
These words startled even the most dreaming person. Not only was Qi Huan, who was covering for Qi Lin, frightened, but even Qi Lin, who was preparing to use the Thirty-Six Stratagems to make his escape, was also taken aback. His mouth gaped open, and a huge question mark appeared above his head. "Huh?"
“What a mess Bai Qinian made.” An Ning said, raising her chin and pointing to Bai Qinian on her left.
This sentence put Bai Qinian in the spotlight. Just as Bai Qinian was about to deliver his prepared speech, An Ning did something that shocked everyone.
She calmly gazed at the person in front of her and spoke slowly and deliberately, "Qi Huan, I can confirm your identity, but I said I won't deal with you so soon, so would you like to take me to find Xu Jiayi?"
Qi Huan was about to say that he didn't know where Xu Jiayi was, but he stopped himself before he could finish speaking.
Why was An Ning so certain?
Could it be that she already knows that she and Xu Jiayi have formed an alliance?
In reality, An Ning had no idea that her intention was for Qi Huan to go with them to find Xu Jiayi, but she clearly overestimated Qi Huan's intelligence.
After a struggle within himself for more than ten seconds, Qi Huan still revealed his ally, "Xu Jiayi is in the small bamboo house a hundred meters away. I made an appointment with her. Qi Lin and I came over to gather information, and she was waiting for me there."
“Aww—” An Ning nodded meaningfully, “Then you guys wait here for me for a bit, I’ll be right back.”
Watching An Ning slowly walk away, Qi Huan couldn't help but feel a tightness in his chest, and kept repenting in his heart.
Jiayi, Jiayi, please don't blame me. Our alliance has only lasted a few minutes. It hasn't reached the point where I'd give up my life to protect you. Please forgive me...
While thinking this to himself, Qi Huan couldn't help but despise his own despicable behavior.
What a despicable person!
Anning didn't keep them waiting long. From the time Anning left for the small bamboo house to the time the broadcast announcing Xu Jiayi's failed attempt to survive came on, it was only three or four minutes.
The process shouldn't be too smooth.
As of now, apart from her two teammates, all the others who eliminated her have been eliminated.
This is absolutely gratifying.
After Xu Jiayi was eliminated, Qi Huan was the only infected person left in the entire competition.
As for his companion... he was a middleman who didn't quite fit the infected faction, and the traveler faction wouldn't dare to hire him.
After returning from the bamboo house, An Ning planned to deal with Qi Huan directly, but unexpectedly, Qi Huan was favored by God. Before An Ning could even reach Qi Huan, the long-awaited assembly announcement rang out.
The five remaining women need to gather in the central square to vote on who will be eliminated in this round.
Watching Qi Huan's retreating figure disappear into the distance, An Ning remained completely unperturbed, simply shrugging indifferently. "What's the point of running so fast? The outcome will still be the same, won't it?"
This episode ended ten minutes later with Qi Huan being eliminated with three votes, while in a corner unnoticed by anyone, An Ning cast a blank sheet of paper.
"The survival countdown has ended. The entire team has been wiped out. The infected have successfully broken free of their shackles and are about to embark on their own hellish carnival!"
-
The recording of this episode came to a perfect end, and Li An once again organized a dinner party. An Ning really wanted to go, but it seemed that God didn't want her to freeload and had to cause trouble for her at this time.
She got her phone one second ago, and Chu Lan called the next. An Ning answered the call without stopping, and the other end immediately launched into a thunderous outburst.
"Xiao Ning, Yang the Madman is here to collect debts!"
