If the previous rule ignited ambition, then this one is like pouring oil into that fire. It means not only must you find the flag, but you must also constantly guard against being stabbed in the back.
“The most important rule,” Lei Kuan emphasized, enunciating each word clearly, “is that all the flags carried by the fallen will belong to the killer! If both members of a squad are killed, the squad will be eliminated!”
"boom--!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
The flames of ambition that had been burning just moments before were instantly replaced by a chilling fear and suspicion!
This isn't about finding a flag; it's clearly a blatant "hunting game"!
Finding the flag is important, but hunting down other teams and stealing their spoils is clearly a more efficient shortcut! The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is laid bare before everyone in a bloody manner.
Many people subconsciously glanced at the other teams around them, their eyes already filled with vigilance and scrutiny. Allies who might have been cooperating just moments ago had instantly become potential prey.
Su Tang stood in the line, listening quietly, her clear eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Chen Xiaocao, who was beside her, seemed much calmer after Su Tang's training for many days, but her hands, which were tightly gripping the gun, were covered in cold sweat, showing that she was still a little nervous.
Su Tang reached out and gently touched Chen Xiaocao's cold hand without making a sound.
Chen Xiaocao trembled and subconsciously turned her head to meet Su Tang's calm, deep eyes.
There was no tension or fear in his eyes, only a reassuring calmness that made Chen Xiaocao's wildly beating heart inexplicably feel a little more at ease.
"The final ranking will be based on the team's total score. The bottom ten teams, totaling twenty people, will be eliminated! If ten teams are completely wiped out before the end of the assessment, the assessment will also end early!"
After Lei Kuan announced the last rule, the entire assembly area erupted in chaos.
"My God, isn't this just making us kill each other?"
"That's ruthless! This isn't just about marksmanship and physical strength; it's also about who's more cunning and who's better at hiding!"
"We absolutely have to grab that red flag on the mountaintop! It's worth fifty points! If we get it, even if we get wiped out, as long as our teammates can escape, our team will be safe!"
Most people shared a remarkably consistent idea: head straight for the summit. In their view, whoever grabbed the red flag first would hold absolute control.
Qiao Lin's eyes shone with an alarming light. She glanced at Du Jinshan beside her, a confident smile playing on her lips. In her view, with her and Du Jinshan's combined strength, that red flag was practically a rule tailor-made for their powerful duo.
Bai Wei glanced at Jiang Yan not far away without making a sound. She was confident that no one was better than her in terms of speed and rock climbing ability. She was determined to get this red flag.
She glanced coldly at Su An's retreating figure, clenching her fists. She was determined to defeat Su An in this assessment with the most overwhelming force, and let Jiang Yan see with his own eyes who was the strongest female soldier and who was worthy of being his teammate.
Zhao Yan's eyes were so gloomy they could drip water.
She didn't even think about the red or yellow flags. She was very wary of the harsh words Su An had said to her at the shooting range last time. She wasn't going to sit idly by and wait to die; she wanted to strike first.
This rule was a godsend for her!
As soon as she entered the mountains, she, Sun Erniu, Zhou Zhihui, and Zhang Man would relentlessly pursue Su An's team. While the others were still searching for flags all over the mountains, she would first take care of Su An and Chen Xiaocao, the two thorns in her side!
In this way, she can not only vent her anger but also eliminate two competitors, killing two birds with one stone.
Just wait, as long as she stays until the combat assessment, she will definitely beat Su An and Chen Xiaocao to a pulp!
While everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and schemes, several groups quietly began their operation.
The first to change were Zhao Yan's small group.
Zhang Man, who had been standing behind Zhao Yan, suddenly nudged Zhou Zhihui beside her, and the two exchanged a glance.
Zhou Zhihui took a deep breath and nodded.
Zhang Man then adjusted her glasses and walked up to Zhao Yan.
“Zhao Yan.” Zhang Man’s tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable distance. “For this assessment, Zhihui and I plan to act alone.”
