Chapter 172 Chapter 172

"Did you find anything?" the tall girl asked Qin San.

Qin San didn't say anything, he just bent down and walked forward carefully. The tall girl followed behind him, imitating him clumsily.

The two walked and stopped for a while, but didn't see anyone. Qin San stood up in confusion: "...It might be another team passing by."

He would not think that he had heard it wrong. There must have been someone in front of him. If it was the instructor playing a monster, he would definitely attack. Now that no one was found, it must not be that person.

"Oh." The tall girl nodded and said.

She walked forward with Qin San. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a very thin line on the ground and the tall girl lowered her head.

The next second, a large ball of wet mud mixed with leaves fell from above and hit the tall girl on the head. The wet mud with a faint smell fell from the tall girl's head, landing on her shoulders and chest, and some even got into her clothes through the collar.

"Ah——" the tall girl screamed and hurriedly patted the wet mud off her head. Her panic caused some wet mud to fall into her clothes and stick to her underwear.

"How come there is such a trap?" The tall girl looked embarrassed, "It's too bad taste!!"

Qin San looked up at the sky and then at the ground in confusion. He had clearly led the way very carefully, so how could the tall girl following him step into a trap? Was she too focused on the front and not careful with her steps?

Under drone surveillance, several instructors in charge of traps: …

No, they didn't set such a trap.

In the distance, Su Sanan curled his lips when he heard the scream. Behind him, Yu Huan lowered his head and rubbed the mud on his palms.

That was not a trap. The wire placed on the ground was not connected to any mechanism. It was just placed there to make it look like there was a mechanism in order to make Qin San and the tall girl let down their guard.

The water in the falling mud is Su Sanan's ability, which can be controlled by him, and the mud and leaves are also taken along with it. As for why it is not a simple water ball, it is first because he does not understand the tall girl's personality well enough.

Some girls might turn around and squeeze their clothes when they get wet, but even the most resistant girls would find it hard to accept a pile of wet mud falling into their clothes, and they would definitely clean it up.

Moreover, if they simply used water balls to attack, there were no water awakeners among the instructors, and they would not set traps like water balls. Qin San would definitely find out that the attacker was Su Sanan, and he would guess something and be more vigilant, and would not easily let the tall girl act alone. But using water, mud, and some leaves mixed in could at most be considered a certain instructor's bad taste.

Sure enough, the tall girl couldn't stand the dirty look of her clothes, so she turned around and told Qin San to go clean it up. Qin San nodded and turned his head away naturally.

In the monitoring room, the two instructors sighed.

Instructor Li Jishi rubbed his brows and sighed, "Group B is finished."

There were five people in total, and three of them went, which is definitely the last ranking.

The tall girl endured the sticky feeling in her clothes and wanted to find a secluded place to take off her clothes and clean them. Thinking that there was a drone overhead and she had to avoid surveillance, she went to a place with dense trees. Looking around, only the trees on the west side seemed tall enough to hide from surveillance.

"It's so uncomfortable." said the tall girl. She walked to the most lush tree, looked around, and looked up to check one last time before changing her clothes.

As a result, when she looked up, she met two male faces on the tree. The tall girl was so scared that she was about to scream, but suddenly a small ball of water hit her mouth, making her cough continuously.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time." Su Sanan jumped down from the tree.

Yu Huan held a rope in his hand and said, "Please don't move."

The tall girl kept coughing, and just as she stopped, before she had time to protest, she was subdued by Su Sanan. Yu Huan quickly tied her up several times, gagged her, and carried her on his shoulders.

Su Sanan and Yu Huan caught the man and ran away. Qin San waited for a long time, but no one came back. He called out several times but got no response. He followed the footprints left by the tall girl and found two more pairs of footprints. Qin San stared at the two footprints, one large and one small, and made a basic judgment.

There were two men of medium build, between 1.75 and 1.85 meters tall. The footprints of the person with slightly smaller footprints became darker after a few steps, indicating the weight of an extra person.

The tall girl was taken away.

Is the instructor acting weird? No, these shoe prints are clearly the shoe prints of these students.

From the moment they heard Han Qi's voice asking for help, to the time they lost Huang Tianzhen and Gan Xiaoqing, as well as the traces left by the trap just now, and the tall girl who was kidnapped, General Qin San sorted out the entire series of events in his mind and finally guessed the truth behind it.

"I've been tricked." Qin San covered his face helplessly.

Anyway, try to chase it first.

Qin San chased them for less than a hundred meters, and the footprints behind him became chaotic, making it difficult to find their whereabouts. Of course, if he really wanted to find them, he could find them, but it would definitely waste a lot of time, and Yueyue from Group A's ability was very useful for locking people up, so even if he found them, he might not be able to rescue them.

Among the three missing members, two are girls. We can’t tear all their strong clothes to pieces to save them.

Practical training is not a life-and-death situation, there is no need to make people suffer so much, and having come this far, the three of them can be considered eliminated.

"Who came up with the idea of ​​hitting people with mud balls? Great job." Qin San muttered and hurried towards the direction of the first trapped person. Now it's better to meet up with Baxiong'an first.

On the other side, Su Sanan and Yu Huan brought the tall girl to meet Qingtong and Yueyue. They put the tall girl down under a tree. After Yueyue put her hand on the girl's clothes, the soft clothes immediately became as hard as iron.

The tall girl looked desperate. She didn't think being trapped here was a big deal, but... couldn't she clean the mud in her clothes? ?

The tall girl stared at Su Sanan with hatred. She knew of course that this guy was a water-type awakener, and it was definitely him who threw water and mud at people.

Tall girl: I'll remember you. Next time when the physical training class requires two people to practice together, we'll see!

Su Sanan turned his head silently.

Yueyue: "There are only two people left in Group A, what should we do?"

Qing Tong said, "That's it. The remaining two people in Group A are from the military and are difficult to deal with. We also have limited time. If we want to get a good ranking, we can't just focus on lowering others' scores. We also have to get points ourselves."

Su Sanan nodded: "Let's merge with Hanqi first."

"Yes, and then deal with Group C and Group D." Qingtong said.

Yu Huan turned his head and glanced at Qing Tong without saying anything.

It was very easy to find Hanqi. They had already agreed with Hanqi on the general direction of the meeting. After walking for ten minutes, they met them. Hanqi saw them from a distance and waved excitedly: "Hey, you are here! I have been looking for you. How is the solution?"

This sentence is asking how the other members of Group B solved the problem.

I asked directly in front of Baxiong'an.

But in Baxiong'an's eyes, this was a question like "How did you resolve the issue of being chased by the instructor?"

Qingtong nodded: "One, got rid of it."

What this sentence means is that there is only one problem left to be solved, and it has been thrown away.

Han Qi's eyes lit up, and he turned to Ba Xiong'an and said, "Thank you for coming with me to find them. Where are we going next? What about you?"

"I'm going to meet up with my teammates at the location of the first person who called for help," Baxiong'an said, "Let's go our separate ways. We'll have a chance to meet again on the mountain."

Han Qi: No, forget it. Once you know what we have done, you will probably have to fight back.

Both sides said goodbye happily. Baxiong'an, who had no idea how his team members had been tricked, smiled faintly at Qingtong, the instigator, and waved before walking away.

After everyone disappeared, Han Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately you came back in time, otherwise I would not be able to fool this old man."

Qingtong: "It's okay, you can fool him. Baxiong'an is an honest man. I found out when I got to know him in Heng City. He is easy to trust others, doesn't bear grudges, and is honest."

The four team members looked at Qingtong in unison, so you tricked an honest man into this?

You messed up three of the four team members.

This honest man has been helping to find people since he knew your team might be in trouble. This rough guy who usually has little expression on his face can show a happy smile when he sees that you are fine, and you treat him like this.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Qingtong tilted his head with an innocent yet puzzled expression.

Han Qi lowered his head: "Nothing."

Yueyue turned her head: "Yeah."

Su Sanan: "Let's keep going."

Yu Huan said nothing.

At this moment, the thoughts in the minds of several people were surprisingly consistent: for some reason, this captain seemed to give off a faint smell of scum.

Of course, they knew that Qingtong and Baxiong'an had no special relationship.

But it still couldn't stop the subtle feeling that arose in their hearts.

On the other hand, Ba Xiong'an, who finally met Qin San and solved the first trapped person, froze after learning Qin San's guess. He was silent for a long time before asking, "So, we were tricked?"

Qin San nodded vigorously: "Yes, the cry for help from the beginning was probably bait for us."

Baxiong'an looked at the sky silently. After a few seconds, he burst into laughter, which was even brighter than the smile he showed to Qingtong before.

"Are you okay?" Qin San frowned.

Baxiong'an shook his head: "It's nothing. Just a little unexpected."

"I was negligent. There is a ranking in practical training, and we are in a competitive relationship." Baxiong'an's eyes narrowed slightly, "I just didn't expect that he could have so many tricks."

In fact, he should also thank Qingtong, because it was he who made him realize that he had behaved incompetently as a team leader. He was too careless and ignored the physical differences between the current team members and his former comrades.

He was just tricked by his opponent during the actual combat training, but he was not angry and he still regarded Qingtong as a friend.

Only when he fights a real monster, being betrayed will make him really angry. He believes Qingtong is not that kind of person.

"What should we do next? Should we fight back?" Qin San asked.

Baxiong'an shook his head: "According to our original plan, since three members have been eliminated, we can fill in the gaps from other aspects and go save people."

In his heart, saving lives is always the top priority, even in actual combat training.

This will never change.
