A short while later, he took out a small object.
The jungle wasn't well lit at night, but luckily the woman next to her was holding a light so Qi Jiu could see what they were holding.
The bag was small, just enough to fit a coin, and it contained a white powder.
Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but recall what Lin Chuan had said before. Could this be the poison powder?
"Brother, why does this assassin organization have a castration rule? But what's the point of castration? We still brought this stuff in, didn't we?"
The woman seemed quite smug, her words brimming with boasting and barely contained joy.
A hint of joy, even disdain and mockery, could be seen on Wu Ci's face.
"Regardless of what the higher-ups think, we've brought this in anyway. As for what role it will play, we can only wait and see."
Anyway, isn't the higher-ups just trying to ruin this assassin organization so it can never rise again? They can easily do that by poisoning one of the trainees.
It was getting late, and in order to conserve their energy and be in better spirits, the two of them talked for a while before resting.
Qi Jiu found a spot on a tree nearby that wasn't too uncomfortable and began to rest.
Unseen by them, Qi Silin watched them one by one and quietly spent the night.
The next day, before the sun had risen, the girl began to wake up, while the two people not far away were still asleep.
The early morning in the jungle still carried a slight chill.
But she didn't feel anything; on the contrary, she preferred breathing the morning air.
"Qiqi, are you awake?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came through the earpiece. Hearing the somewhat hoarse and tired voice, the girl was startled and whispered.
"You didn't sleep last night?"
"Um."
For some reason, her gaze suddenly fell on the drone not far away, and she seemed to be able to see the somewhat tired Qi Silin through the drone.
There was a different kind of emotion in his eyes.
"Aren't San San and the others all here? They can take turns, why aren't they sleeping?" Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one on a mission in the jungle.
Unexpectedly, the other party chuckled, "I've never seen anyone like you before, I wanted to see more of you. Don't blame them, it was my request."
Li Hao: "..." Such witty remarks!
The man's tone was laced with doting affection, which made Qi Jiu unable to hold back her anger. "Go and rest first, and let San San and the others keep an eye on things. This isn't a crucial time right now."
Knowing that Qi Silin had obediently gone back to rest, the girl found some food nearby. After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she noticed two people moving not far away.
The two seemed to have just woken up. The blonde woman was still a bit grumpy when she woke up, and if the environment hadn't been unsuitable, she probably would have made a scene.
A man and a woman started tidying up, but before they could react, they heard a series of sounds coming from not far away.
"Awoo~"
The sound became clearer and clearer, and the sound became more and more numerous.
"Wolf?"
Qi Jiu was stunned when she heard the noise.
What incredible luck these two have! They encountered wolves on their very first day, and it was a pack of wolves at that.
The two people not far away were clearly frightened and stood frozen in place until they heard the wolf howl, at which point they hurriedly packed their things.
The blonde woman's face was extremely grim. "Wolves! Wolves are pack animals; we're in trouble!"
The burly man had no time to say anything; he grabbed his things and tried to leave, but it was too late.
From her hiding place, Qi Jiu watched the wolves appear one by one, observing them with great interest, her eyes even showing a hint of doting affection.
I never imagined that these guys would grow up so much in just six months since she left.
Before them stood a dark gray alpha wolf, baring its teeth and staring intently at them, as if the two men were already easy prey.
Behind it, one after another appeared.
They all looked the same, their fangs exposed in the air, staring at the man and woman opposite them, as if they would pounce at any moment.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Brother Wuci, what do we do? We're all out of blanks, the only things we can use are a knife and..."
Using a knife is too dangerous; it means engaging in close combat with these ferocious beasts.
"No, this thing is still useful!" Before he could finish speaking, Wuci abruptly interrupted him.
"But if we don't use it, we'll die here right now! Are we supposed to send out a distress signal?"
Although this introductory assessment did not involve live ammunition, several professional assassins were hidden deep within each region so that they could be rescued immediately if a trainee sent a distress call.
However, sending out a distress signal indicates that they are voluntarily being eliminated.
Although this system is very unfair, that's the reality. Whether you can survive the wolf's jaws depends entirely on your own abilities.
"No, we can't send out a distress signal. We can't just leave like this."
The burly man seemed to still have some reservations, but the blonde woman was getting increasingly anxious as she watched the wolf pack getting closer and closer, even growling.
"This won't work, that won't work, so what are we supposed to do?! We're all going to become the wolves' prey!"
Wu Ci seemed to be struggling with the decision, but for the sake of profit, he finally pulled out a dagger from his waist.
"Are you crazy! We're no match for them! One wolf is manageable, but there's a whole pack!"
"But our mission cannot fail!"
If you're going to die whether you go forward or retreat, you might as well take a chance.
The conversation between the two quickly caught Qi Jiu's attention, which reminded her of certain international organizations.
The mission cannot fail? Why do I say that? It's not just about losing money if you fail, it's about losing your life.
If he said it so seriously, then it must not be the former.
An organization that pays with its life is probably not a good organization.
The blonde woman was stunned by these words, and in the end, she could only reluctantly pull out her dagger, her face grim as she looked at the pack of wolves in front of her.
"Awoo!"
The lead wolf pounced quickly. Wu Ci, holding a dagger, carefully began to dodge, but how could his movements be more agile than the wolves who had always lived here?
The man and the wolf faced off for several rounds, and the burly man's arm quickly became covered in blood, with blood still oozing from the spots where the wolf's claws had scratched him.
On the other hand, the wolves were completely unharmed.
The smell of blood seemed to have amplified their wildness; the wolves began to engage in battle, becoming even more excited.
"Holy crap, Qiqi! It's a wolf!"
Chongyu's startled voice came through the earpiece. The atmosphere at the scene was originally tense, but his shout made the girl feel that it added a touch of joy.
