The vast sea of sand before my eyes is enough to make one despair just by looking at it, not to mention the scorching sun overhead.
Li Changzhou roughly estimated that the temperature was at least 45 degrees Celsius.
"What should we do now? The desert is so big, where can we find other contestants?" Li Qianxia couldn't help but cover her forehead with her hand.
"Find a shady spot." Li Changzhou tossed aside the AK, shrugged, and five seconds later, an M95 sniper rifle appeared in his hand.
He removed the scope and used it as a telescope to survey the distant terrain, continuing to speak:
"As long as you find a shady spot, you can rest, you can find water, you can find food, and you can find other contestants."
“That’s right.” Yang Qinglan nodded. “Although the desert is vast, all the strugglers only have one place to go.”
It seems that the black card player knows the identity of 'Struggler'.
Why do white card players receive a reward for killing 'Strugglers', and what is the relationship between these two things?
Li Changzhou couldn't help but ponder.
The scope has a narrow field of view, so snipers usually have an observer, who is equipped with a rangefinder and binoculars and is responsible for finding the enemy.
Some snipers bring their own binoculars, but he didn't, so he could only search bit by bit using the scope.
Fortunately, he wasn't looking for the enemy, otherwise by the time he found them, the rapeseed flowers would have turned into rapeseed oil in the pot.
Suddenly, he subconsciously squinted his right eye, which was pressed against the scope, and a figure appeared in the desert through the lens.
"What's wrong?" Yang Qinglan kept looking at his face.
"There's someone here, one, coming this way," Li Changzhou said in a deep voice. "Should we just shoot?"
"How far? Can it hit?"
"I can't calculate the distance, so I probably can't hit it. The opponent keeps jumping, so it must be a jumping skill."
“One person,” Li Qianxia hesitated for a moment before asking, “Should we get in touch with this person? Maybe we can cooperate. Isn’t there 15 spots in this game?”
Yang Qinglan pondered for two seconds, then looked at Li Changzhou: "What do you think?"
“We can give it a try. I’ll go and negotiate,” Li Changzhou replied.
"Then forget it, let's just kill them." Li Qianxia immediately changed her mind.
Yang Qinglan sighed and didn't ask who she originally planned to send.
"I'll make my move when they get close enough that I can see them," she said.
"good!"
The three retreated to the hill and waited quietly.
The quicksand was scorching hot, and the sun was baking everything. Li Changzhou felt like a chicken leg in an oven.
He kept his sights locked on the target to prevent losing sight of him.
The opponent arrived very quickly. The jump that I didn't take seriously at first glance was actually very impressive. My initial estimate is that the distance covered by one jump could be half a football field.
"Wait!" he suddenly said. "The other party is wearing a military uniform."
"Military uniform?" the two asked at the same time.
Yang Qinglan asked another question: "What country are you from?"
"Great Xia".
The three hesitated.
As citizens of the Great Xia Dynasty, they trust and respect soldiers, and killing soldiers directly is not an easy decision for them to make.
After thinking for a moment, Li Changzhou spoke first: "According to the messages on the bus stop sign, the authorities are trustworthy for now. Should we try to negotiate?"
"I'll go!" Li Qianxia said immediately.
Li Changzhou immediately scolded her: "That person can jump half a football field in one leap, what use is your long gun? I'll take the AK, you and Qinglan will cover me."
"Call me Xiaoqing," Yang Qinglan corrected him.
“Miss Yang, our relationship isn’t that close yet, but I don’t care what you call me, you can just call me A-Zhou.”
Yang Qinglan snatched the scope from his hand, waved her hand, and calmly ordered, "King of Black Mist, charge!"
His tone was like that of someone ordering a dog around.
“I may never return, so I hope you will call me—Owl.” Li Changzhou stood up.
“Brother—” Li Qianxia stood up, but Li Changzhou pressed her back down.
"Don't let my appearance fool you, I've read 'The Art of Winning Hearts in 30 Seconds' and 'The Ultimate Negotiation Skills You Can Learn in 3 Hours.' When you hear my gunshot, hurry up and run over."
After saying that, he patted the sand off his pants and slowly slid down the dune.
Despite the urgency of the situation, habit still led Li Qianxia to complain, "You're going to get it dirty anyway, so why are you taking pictures of it?"
"Maybe he thinks it looks cooler this way," Yang Qinglan said in a guessing tone—which sounded like a provocation.
"You two are so annoying!" Li Changzhou drifted down the sand.
Li Qianxia gripped the blood-sucking gun tightly, her steps quickening, ready to unleash "Wolf Howl" and charge out at any moment.
Yang Qinglan didn't look at the Great Xia soldier, but stared at Li Changzhou.
The soldier before her, whose hostility was unknown, was skilled at jumping. She didn't know if her "repulsion" could make him lose his balance, but she was sure it would make Li Changzhou lose his balance and dodge the attack.
Li Changzhou walked slowly, trying not to stray too far from the sand dune, waiting for the other party to come over.
Looking at the other person's figure in the heatwave, he felt like he was in a Western cowboy duel. Considering that he was holding an AK instead of a revolver, it was more like an arms deal in the Middle East.
With a thud, you could already hear the other person jump up, land, and the sound of their feet sinking into the gravel.
Li Changzhou used his ultimate rhetoric.
Release the AK—there's a rope around his neck, raise his arms, and shout: "Don't shoot, I'm a law-abiding citizen!"
The sound was so loud and penetrating that even the two people behind the sand dune could hear it.
Yang Qinglan stared intently at Li Qianxia and asked, "Did the doctor really say your brother is normal?"
Li Qianxia covered her face with her left hand, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
The other party stopped some distance away. She was a female soldier with short hair and strong, brown skin.
