Chapter 1136: Taking Advantage of the Situation 1
After hearing Lian Yi's words, everyone looked at each other, feeling a little scalp-numbing. Kou Ji still wanted to struggle, so she said in a self-deceiving way:
"Lianyi, are you overthinking it? What if this is also part of the assessment?"
"Even if it's part of the assessment, you wouldn't really push a person with only one breath left in front of us, right?"
Lian Yi raised an eyebrow and asked back.
Qing Xuan said tentatively:
"This person is obviously not a candidate for the test. He should be someone who entered the test star layout in advance. Maybe he encountered an accident?"
"You also said that he was assigned by the academy to assist in completing the assessment. If he really encountered an accident, shouldn't he report it to the academy immediately? Why would he run out alone? Was he trying to escape or to seek help?
Moreover, we are here to take the test, so we must have been under the surveillance of all the examiners. We all discovered this seriously injured person, so why is there no reaction from the college?
When we encountered the dragon sac grass yesterday at noon, someone came to rescue us immediately.”
“Maybe I haven’t seen it yet.”
Xinghe swallowed the rest of his words under everyone's gaze.
Lian Yi smiled and turned to ask Gan Yun:
"Gan Yun, if you were planning a sneak attack or assassination, what would you do first?"
"Disconnect all communications and leave the other party isolated and helpless."
Gan Yun's face was a little solemn. Lian Yi asked this question, which probably meant she realized that there was a problem with the communication on the Assessment Star. Otherwise, it would have been so long and it would have been impossible for no one to have discovered it.
"I agree with Lianyi's analysis. Something must have happened on the Assessment Planet. But what happened? Who did it? What was the purpose? We don't know any of this, and this puts us in a passive position."
Xiong Jian expressed his opinion clearly.
"We can try to send out a distress message to cancel the exam and see if it can be received. Then we can make plans. What do you think?"
Xinghe finally put forward a more reliable suggestion.
This time no one objected, Lian Yi had no objection either, but she still mentioned:
"I think we'd better be cautious before sending out a distress signal. At least we should leave ourselves a backup plan. What if something unexpected happens?"
"Ripple, what good ideas do you have?"
Kou Ji believed Lian Yi more and asked directly.
"Here's what I'm thinking. Assuming we've lost contact with the academy, or that our communications equipment has been tampered with, then after we send out a distress signal, there will only be two things that can happen. One is that it will be ignored, and the other is that the real mastermind will send someone to pick us up, but it's hard to tell where they'll take us.
So, we can try, but we can't put all of us in it. At least some people should be left to cover us."
"That's no problem. We can split into two groups so that we can look after each other. From now on, we can communicate with each other through star beasts and try to talk less in public."
Kou Ji reacted quickly and spoke immediately.
Lianyi nodded, and then roughly made a not very complicated plan. She then asked Sui Yu, Xiong Jian, and Xishan, who had rescued the wounded together before, to stay and send out a distress signal, reporting that a seriously injured person had been found and needed urgent treatment.
Lianyi took the rest of the people and pretended to continue to complete the assessment task. The two sides openly agreed to reunite after sending the wounded away, and then they separated.
But they did separate, because Lianyi left Duoduo to Xiong Jian so that Duoduo could adapt to the situation.
Kou Ji and Lian Yi were also communicating secretly at this time:
"I can understand why you asked Sui Yu to follow me. After all, his star beast is very special and can definitely help us at a critical moment. Why did you also bring Xiong Jian and Xi Shan over? They are both very good at close combat."
"You also said that they are very good at close combat. If they are really captured by the enemy, they can break through from the inside with Duoduo's help. If it's you and Xinghe who go, and your star beasts are controlled, how will you fight back?"
Ripple told the truth.
Kou Ji thought about it and felt that although Lian Yi's words were harsh, they were telling the truth, so she jumped to the next question:
"What do these people behind the scenes want to do?"
"It must be profitable!"
Lianyi spread her hands and pointed at Xinghe. Xinghe looked puzzled, touched the shrunken red peach, and joined the conversation:
"Lian Yi, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm jealous of your combat uniform. One piece of clothing you're wearing is enough to pay for my tuition and living expenses for a year at the First Academy, and you're living a very comfortable life."
Lianyi narrowed her eyes and let the whirlwind in her arms convey her meaning.
Xinghe didn't understand, but Kouji did. Her pupils shrank and she covered her mouth and said directly:
"Their target is the power behind us examinees, whether it's power or financial resources."
Lianyi nodded. Kou Ji was a smart person and had the capital to be arrogant.
Everyone fell into deep thought, looking at each other, and then they realized that among the people gathered together, most of them were rich or noble, with some from political, military, or business families, and Lianyi was the only one without any background.
Lian Yi is not someone who doesn't know how to read people's faces. These people are still too young and have not been poisoned by society, so their thoughts are clearly shown on their faces. She said bluntly:
"I'm different from you. I don't have any background, but I have my own strength. I have alien plants and star beasts. I'm also a superpower. People like me are definitely the ones they want to win over."
"You are a mutant?"
Now everyone was upset.
"yes!"
"Why didn't you say anything?"
Kou Ji scolded.
"You didn't ask! Besides, this is my trump card. I won't show it easily unless there is a special situation."
Lianyi said seriously, it depends on whether you are jealous or not.
This made the rest of the people envious and jealous, and also a little unwilling. They were targeted because of their family background, while others were targeted based on their strength. Suddenly, they felt that they were being outdone, and they didn't know where their competitive spirit came from.
"Something's going on."
The sound of ripples interrupted everyone's thoughts as they secretly scrolled through their screens.
"What's wrong?"
"The three of them and the injured person were all taken away, but their destination is unknown. The person who took them away only stated that he was assisting in the assessment."
"No, if we need to take someone away, we only need to take the injured person away. Why did we take these three away as well? According to the assessment criteria, they have not withdrawn from the assessment."
Qingxuan touched his purple scales and expressed his doubts.
Lianyi didn't need to explain this anymore. Everyone was now certain that someone else had infiltrated the assessment planet. Moreover, the other party had disguised themselves as someone assisting with the assessment at the academy and was secretly arresting the candidates.
"What do we do next?"
"Pretend you don't know, then continue to head to the place marked on the map and wait for Duoduo to send back the latest news."
Ripple said decisively.
On the other side, Rand brought two teaching assistants and was checking the positions of all the candidates one by one.
