Chapter 55 The Fish Has Been Hooked
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled. A few leaves fell on people's shoulders. Xu Xizhen hid in the half-human-high weeds, watching several people passing by the path not far in front of her.
The final assessment location is in the mountains, which is overgrown with trees and weeds, with undulating terrain and complex topography. The treetops are close together and the sun cannot shine in. It is estimated that visibility will be particularly poor at night.
Those people walked away. Xu Xizhen crawled in the grass, went down a small slope, and came to a more concealed valley. It was like a natural trench. At this time, Xu Lingqu, Jin Chen, Shouli and Liu Zheng gathered together, and next to them, squatting and working hard to analyze and draw the terrain was Tang Muwen.
He chose to rebel temporarily. Seeing that the five of them were short of an analyst, he came over on his own initiative and directly handed over all his equipment. The intelligent computer was also forcibly shut down, which shows his sincerity.
When he first came over, Jin pointed a gun at his head, but he didn't care at all and said, "Let me help you finish the terrain analysis and map before you kill me."
Jin was speechless: "You don't want any points in the final assessment?"
Tang Muwen shook his head: "The points I got before were more than enough to advance in this trial. Command analysis is separate from your combat. My score has always been second in non-combat."
He glanced up at Xu Lingqu and said, "All those points I got before were thanks to you...you guys. I'm just here to repay you."
Such sincerity, and the fact that he really liked to follow Xu Lingqu around when he had nothing to do, temporarily gained his trust and asked him to do the terrain analysis.
Since the final assessment, they have been sneaking around like this to avoid being caught by the main force.
The strategies of the two camps of Kaion were very successful. The other ordinary students seemed to be putting all their efforts into searching for the top five people who usually crushed them, especially the group headed by Sun Liao. Their goal was clearer, which was to capture Xu Lingqu.
Sun Liao boasted that he had been waiting for this day for a long time.
As soon as the camp rules came out, he was full of energy. Not only did he have a one-sided grudge against Xu Lingqu, but his points score had always been in the elimination level. As long as he could hit Xu Lingqu with his own hands, he could make a beautiful comeback.
Sun Liao was spreading rumors among ordinary students about how hateful and unforgivable Xu Lingqu was. No one knew where he fabricated so many charges on Xu Lingqu, but he was really excited about it.
However, most students seemed to have no idea about his fanatical mood, and only a few people agreed with him until he suddenly turned his attention to Wang Qihu and Lin Xiao.
A group always has to have an organization and a leader. The leaders of the ordinary student camp are Wang Qihu and his friends, several students from the second star system, and Lin Xiao, who performed well in the underground maze last time.
"One of you is Xu Lingqu's roommate, and the other hangs around her every day. During the assessment, you won't betray us and tip them off, right?" Sun Liao is a man of little ability, but he is good at fanning the flames and sowing discord.
Having said that, unlike his previous behavior of throwing mud at Xu Lingqu, what he said threatened the interests of every ordinary student and was reasonable in a sense.
As a leader, you had such a good relationship with our "enemy" before. Is this appropriate? Can you guarantee that you will never betray us?
Wang Qihu's face immediately darkened, and Lin Xiao rolled his eyes. "I was obviously following Xu Lingqu as well, and I'm Liu Zheng's roommate..."
In the end, Guan Zhongli came to act as the final peacemaker.
As a decent commander, he had a certain status among ordinary students. He smiled and hugged Sun Liao.
"Brother Liao, I know you've been irritated with that guy Xu Lingqu for a long time. I understand that you're a little upset, but this is the final assessment. How could my brother Wang Qihu and Lin Xiao joke about this? I've also been irritated with the five of them for a long time. This time, our goal is to unite and encircle them first. You should calm down first and don't turn your anger on us."
His words comforted Sun Liao, and he was quite happy.
The final result of the discussion was that Sun Liao obtained a certain degree of command power and could directly lead a group of people. He was very satisfied.
Sun Liao looked at Guan Zhongli with great satisfaction. It was best to have someone like him as a commander. He spoke well and was willing to share his power, unlike someone...
Sun Liao felt so angry when he thought of the name Xu Lingqu. It was all from the day of fighting training that he started to have such bad luck. This was a good chance for revenge and he must not miss it.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the final assessment venue, Sun Liao wanted to take his men to search the mountain inch by inch and directly confront Xu Lingqu and the other four.
But they had been searching for almost an hour and still couldn't find any trace of Xu Lingqu. The five of them seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth and were hiding in the mountains and fields.
Sun Liao was extremely anxious for a while, and he was afraid of everything. Whenever there was any movement, he would shoot out of suspicion. Although he didn't see anyone, he fired a lot of bullets.
The boy who had once tried to be a jerk in front of Xu Lingqu but was scolded and cried looked at Sun Liao and said, "Brother Liao, do you think Xu Lingqu and the others are afraid of us? They were usually so high-profile, but now they have become cowards."
After he said that, Sun Liao's originally anxious mood improved a lot. At this time, on the intelligent brain, Guan Zhongli sent a message through their camp of ordinary students to ask about Sun Liao's condition.
Sun talked back about the fact that he gained nothing.
"Oh, it's okay. You can go west. A reconnaissance team just found traces of Xu Lingqu and the others there."
Upon hearing this, Sun Liao became excited and ran west with his men.
Xu Xizhen watched the idiot run away with his men, then returned to their hiding place and reported to Xu Lingqu: "The idiot has escaped."
"Yeah." After entering the assessment site, Xu Lingqu led them to find a hiding spot and asked the other four people to stay here first. They just hid there and didn't go out.
Jin was getting impatient and asked, "Commander, how long are we going to hide here?"
To be honest, in Jin's eyes, hiding like this is not Xu Lingqu's style at all. In his opinion, Xu Lingqu should directly lead them to fight 1v55 and kill those people without leaving a single piece of armor.
It seems safer to keep hiding like this now, but it's a bit cowardly, right?
Xu Lingqu didn't say anything. At this moment, Guan Zhongli sent a message through the intelligent brain channel of Tang Muwen who had been confiscated.
"Thank goodness, the fish is hooked."
