Zhao Yan sneered, "Bai Wei, you've got a really shrewd plan. You did a quick calculation, and you two get 70 points, while we get 40, and you even said you'd make it up to us later. Do you think we're from the countryside, can't do math, and are easy to fool?"
Bai Wei frowned. What she hated most was Zhao Yan's impulsive and unreasonable nature, which made her explode at the slightest provocation. She patiently spoke in an almost lecturing tone:
"Zhao Yan, can't you use your brain? If I hadn't seized the opportunity and shot Du Jinshan in the leg, slowing him down, it's uncertain who would be eliminated now. From a tactical contribution standpoint, it's reasonable for me to take the lion's share."
"Reasonable?" Zhao Yan seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. She took a step forward, the red flag in her hand creaking as she gripped it. "If it weren't for Erniu and me holding the line in front, drawing all of that fat Du Jinshan's attention, would you have had the chance to comfortably snipe him from behind? You call that a tactical contribution? Bah! That's called taking advantage, understand!"
"You..." Bai Wei's face turned pale with anger at her vulgar words. She took a deep breath to suppress her anger. "I don't want to have this pointless argument with you. Now is not the time to quarrel. We should leave here as soon as possible. Let's divide the spoils like this for now. After the assessment, we'll recalculate the total score based on the number of people. I promise you won't be treated unfairly."
Her words sounded magnanimous and rational, but her condescending attitude and the seemingly condescending "we won't treat you badly" were like a red-hot iron rod, stabbing Zhao Yan's already sensitive nerves hard.
"No way!" Zhao Yan refused without even thinking.
The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense.
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Lin Hao quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Hey, alright, alright, we're all allies on the same team, don't let a few flags ruin our harmony. How about this, the red flag was won by everyone together, no one should keep it all to themselves. Let's put it all together for now, and calculate it based on the total score after the assessment, okay? Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!"
"No!" This time, Zhao Yan and Bai Wei shouted in almost identical voices.
After shouting, the two looked at each other, their disgust and distrust almost overflowing.
At this point, nobody trusts anyone anymore. So-called alliances, faced with enormous interests, are as fragile as a piece of paper.
Sun Erniu, who had been keeping her head down and silent, finally couldn't hold back any longer. She clutched the flag she had looted tightly to her chest, like a mother bear protecting her cubs, glaring at Bai Wei:
"Sister Yan is right! Why should you get the lion's share? If we hadn't been in front just now, you wouldn't even have had a chance to fire! We should get at least half of these flags!"
Bai Wei glanced at Sun Erniu with disdain, her gaze as if she were looking at a noisy stray dog on the roadside.
"Do you even have the right to speak here?" Bai Wei glanced down at Sun Erniu, a cold, sarcastic smile playing on her lips. "A lackey only needs to obey his master. Shut your mouth and get out of here!"
These words were like a slap in the face, landing hard on Sun Erniu's cheek.
Sun Erniu's face flushed bright red instantly, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word due to humiliation and anger.
"Who the hell are you talking to?!" Zhao Yan completely exploded! She pulled Sun Erniu behind her, pointed the flagpole at Bai Wei's nose like a mad tiger, "Bai Wei! Say that again! Who do you think you are, daring to lecture my people here!"
"Let's put aside the flag-sharing issue! Bai Wei, let me ask you, we agreed before that we would help you grab the red flag, and you would help me deal with Su An! Now that we have the flag, shouldn't you keep your promise?"
Bai Wei's brows furrowed even deeper. She looked at Zhao Yan with the same gaze one would give a child throwing a tantrum, her tone tinged with impatience: "Zhao Yan, our original plan was to capture the flag first, then go find Su An. Now we have the points, but we're down two players. What do you think our chances of winning are if we go find Su An now?"
She paused, her voice growing colder and her words harsher: "Aside from your ridiculous personal grudges, can't you put on some strategy and reason? We're a team, and all our actions should be based on maximizing the team's interests..."
"Personal grudge?"
