The newly joined Green Team, whether by luck or by design, happened to be near the supply point, even closer than 03 and the others.
Xia Chuhe entered the communication channel: "I acquired a map-viewing item last night. There's a supply point to your west, but it might be a few kilometers away. Please get there as soon as possible. Also, Lu Xiaofeng isn't dead. He probably surrendered to the enemy. Be careful if you see him."
"receive."
The little red dot on the map slowly started moving, while the little green dot on the other side spun around like a headless fly.
Before Xia Chuhe could even breathe a sigh of relief, he was startled by the small red dot next to the hollow tree trunk.
The little red dot is moving rapidly westward, and they are clearly following the flattest path, indicating that someone has definitely memorized the map. If the three teams maintain the same speed, the red team is very likely to overtake the blue team and reach the supply point first.
Xia Chuhe made a quick decision to slow down the Red Team's progress single-handedly. She compared the Red Team's speed with the speed of her underground escape technique, roughly identified a location, and then accelerated straight there using her underground escape technique.
However, despite her speed, she still fell behind the red team.
Xia Chuhe had no choice but to continue the chase until he saw Lu Xiaofeng. Strangely, Lu Xiaofeng seemed to be alone; where were the five members of the red team?
Xia Chuhe took out the Marauder's Map. Strangely, the six small red dots on the map were clearly very close together, but in reality, only Lu Xiaofeng could be seen with the naked eye.
The five members of the Red Team definitely exist; their location can be seen on the map. Bai Jiu has seen them, and 03 even killed one of the Red Team members. Xia Chuhe also saw that person's corpse.
Xia Chuhe gritted his teeth, and a huge curtain of fire descended around Lu Xiaofeng.
As flames descended, five figures in a mix of yellow and green appeared in the woods, surrounding Lu Xiaofeng and firing a barrage of shots at the perimeter.
After firing their weapons, the five men didn't linger. They put away their guns and left, disappearing into the jungle once more.
Xia Chuhe couldn't even tell whether their color change was due to their clothes or their special abilities.
To make matters worse, she was shot, and her healing powers will not be usable again for another seven hours.
Xia Chuhe hurriedly wrapped his wounded arm and followed far behind Lu Xiaofeng, peeking out every now and then to set a fire before running away.
Her goal wasn't to kill anyone, but simply to slow down the Red Team's advance.
Whether the Red Team saw through her intentions or simply ran out of ammunition, they refrained from large-scale firing and instead fired only a few scattered shots at a time as a threat.
After several back-and-forth struggles, Xia Chuhe was exhausted; just tracking the Red Team had left him weary.
Then, good news finally came through the channel.
03: "We found supplies. There's plenty of food and water, but only one gun and two daggers."
Liao Ning: "We also found a prop on the road, which is a trap. Anyone who steps on it will be frozen for ten seconds."
The wounded Xia Chuhe was driven to ferocity: "Take all the weapons, replenish the food and water on the spot, and don't touch what you can't finish eating. Set up the traps, find a place to hide, the enemy is on their way to the supply point, ambush them."
Upon hearing the word "ambush," Liao Ning and his men immediately sprang into action.
Even if Xia Chuhe didn't give so many instructions, they would know what to do.
The supply point on the map was actually a black, unlocked box. The supply point was relatively far to the west, and the red team came from the east. After Liao Ning collected some necessary water, he buried a trap directly in front of the box and covered it with soil and fallen leaves.
03 Climb up the tree, hide in a high position with a wide field of vision, and he is confident that he can take down at least one member of the Red Team as soon as he sees them.
After collecting the supplies, Liao Ning and Bai Jiu, who each had a gun, chose their own ambush locations.
Instead of hiding behind trees, Wang Mei chose a relatively open area, lay down, and had others help cover her with soil and fallen leaves. She was given a dagger, which she could use to teleport and kill the last retreating enemy if they noticed the ambush and retreated.
With everything ready, Lu Xiaofeng was the first to appear.
03 hesitated for a moment and did not make a move. He was unaware that Lu Xiaofeng's intentions toward Taotie City were impure. Although he disliked Lu Xiaofeng's behavior, he was not disgusted enough to want to kill him. He was even thinking of letting Lu Xiaofeng return after eliminating the enemy.
The other people's thoughts were similar to 03's.
Thus, the four of them watched helplessly as the first step of their plan failed.
The enemy didn't even show up, and Lu Xiaofeng took the supply box remotely.
"No weapons, only food and water!" Lu Xiaofeng shouted.
"Throw it over here!" The person behind Lu Xiaofeng was very cautious.
Lu Xiaofeng tossed food and water behind him.
Food and water were left in one place, and the box was gradually emptied.
03. Liao Ning, Bai Jiu, and Wang Mei, all eyes were fixed on where the food would land.
Lu Xiaofeng slowly retreated to the other side of the food, and finally someone appeared next to the food!
03 Immediately activated their superpowers, Liao Ning and Bai Jiu also restrained themselves and fired a shot.
The two men were former assassins who had done a lot of killing, so their marksmanship was extremely accurate. Two bullets were fired one after the other into the enemy's forehead.
A whistle rang out from the other side: "Retreat!"
They didn't even see a trace of the others; the operation was a complete joke.
Lu Xiaofeng stood there dumbfounded, unsure whether to return to the Blue Team that had "abandoned" him or follow his new master, the Red Team.
Before he could make a choice, a rope silently tied to Lu Xiaofeng's ankle and dragged him away.
At the last moment, Wang Mei rushed forward, cut the rope, grabbed the broken end, and tried to find the owner of the rope by feeling around it.
However, the rope broke on its own.
When he turned around, Lu Xiaofeng was gone.
A corpse left next to the food also began to burn spontaneously.
Liao Ning rushed forward and unscrewed the water bottle to try and extinguish the fire on the body. However, the fire was too intense, and her efforts were in vain.
Left with no other choice, the group had to accept the food, water, and traps.
Everything was over, and Xia Chuhe arrived late.
Without even asking, judging from everyone's expressions, it was clear that the operation was not going smoothly.
The group found a safe spot, and 03 briefly recounted the course of events.
Xia Chuhe whispered, "They're keeping Lu Xiaofeng alive because they want to steal a prop. This prop is very important; it could completely decide the final outcome of the battle. If it happens again, attack Lu Xiaofeng immediately."
Liao Ning's expression was strange: "For the final victory, one can sacrifice one's own interests. Do you also think so?"
Xia Chuhe's gaze swept over the crowd. All four names appeared in the follower's handbook, indicating that they were on the same side as her.
Xia Chuhe said, "Do you know why I'm taking you to this dungeon?"
