"They're here, fifteen men, about four hundred meters from the southeast, they'll be at their ambush position."
"Shi Zhao, Ru Xuan, go down and lure them away."
Yu He and his group of people hid stealthily in various locations.
Xia Shizhao gave a soft "hmm," jumped down from the tree, and ran forward quickly with Liu Ruxuan, creating the appearance of an escape.
The fifteen people were relatively less foolish. Seeing the two thin, small girls appear alone in this place, they looked around warily. Xia Shizhao blinked when he saw Yu Luqin and Chi Xin in the group.
You're going to suffer.
He gestured to Liu Ruxuan with his hands behind his back that they would run separately later.
It's easier to handle if one person leads the way and another group leaves.
Xia Shizhao's ears twitched as he heard the sound of a trigger being pulled. He shouted, "Get out of the way! They have guns!"
The teammate hiding in the shadows gritted his teeth; he had made a mistake.
I forgot about the random supplies feature.
Xia Shizhao didn't bother to hide it, pulled out a gun, shot two people in the chest, and quickly fled the scene.
When I turned around, wow!
Why is everyone chasing after me?!
Dodging a paint bomb, Xia Shizhao held his breath and sprinted away; the trap was still 500 meters away!
Yu Luqin and Yu He's group clashed. The group of alphas were all unwilling to give in, and since they had no weapons, they chose to fight each other physically.
Xia Shizhao grabbed the Sleeping Vine and yanked it, pinching her arm hard to wake herself up. The sap from the broken section of the Sleeping Vine dripped onto the head of her pursuer.
Hearing the thuds of people falling to the ground, Xia Shizhao glanced around and realized there was still someone relentlessly chasing after him.
You're going to die!
Why isn't this person sleeping?!
How was she supposed to destroy their life tokens? Xia Shizhao climbed up the tree by pulling on the vines, then pulled out her gun and pointed it at the girl thirty meters away.
Seeing the bright red handprint on her face, Xia Shizhao gave an inappropriate laugh.
Someone even more ruthless than Liu Ruxuan has appeared; this woman even slapped herself until she bled in order to avoid fainting.
Although their reactions were much slower, their combat awareness was still very strong, far superior to mine.
Xia Shizhao jumped to another tree, dodging the bullets she fired.
No, her eyelids were drooping, and Jun Si felt dizzy.
Damn it, I didn't notice the Sleeping Vine just now, and it dripped all over my body before I realized it.
My vision blurred, and then I collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Xia Shizhao, who had climbed to the top of the tree, looked with trepidation at the red paint that had hit him twice.
One more shot and she'll be eliminated; she'll have to play it safe from now on.
The spectator room erupted in cheers.
"Yes! Five people from the top class have been eliminated!"
"Twenty left? Not bad, much better than when we were here."
"Oh my, why does this child love climbing trees so much? Was he a monkey in his past life?"
"Putting everything else aside, Xia Shizhao is really composed among the students. He doesn't panic even when being chased by so many people, and he leads them all astray in a roundabout way."
"Stop praising them. If the kids lose, we'll be treated like dogs."
"Waaaaah, being a dog is fine, that's good too. I'm just afraid of getting skinned alive and being trained to death by the general."
A group of people chatted and laughed, but their eyes were fixed on the screen in front of them.
It's only the first day, and the children aren't very skilled yet.
Unaware of the dangers of the environment, Stone Planet is an artificial ecosystem with many introduced animals. This experiment is not just a competition with humans, but also a test of their reaction to the natural environment. Instructors are hidden everywhere to protect their lives, but they will not intervene if they get injured; they have to rely on themselves.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, a squad of men ran out in a panic, shouting at Yu He and his group who were fighting amongst themselves: "Stop fighting! Run! There's a pack of wolves over here! Holy crap!"
Yu He and his men had no weapons on them, and going head-to-head with the wolves would be suicide, so upon hearing this, they turned tail and ran away.
Life cards? What life cards?
Nothing is more important than real life!
"Quick, carry those two who've fainted over there and run!"
After giving the orders, Yu He carried them off on his back and ran away, his eyes full of regret. He wished he hadn't been so rough with them.
I ran with weights again.
Xia Shizhao wasn't having an easy time either. When she climbed down the tree, she discovered that the ground was covered with brown scorpions, the same color as the soil, making them hard to spot.
He slapped all ten of his rivals, who had been chasing him all along, awake.
One or two old men with swollen faces ran away.
If Xia Shizhao hadn't looked flustered, they would have suspected she was settling a personal score.
But the moment they saw the scorpion's sharp stinger and thick tail, they cried out, "Damn it, run! Black-tailed scorpion!! A sting will itch for ten days to half a month!"
"This way!" Xia Shizhao looked at the three paths, remembered the terrain he had observed while climbing the tree, and decisively chose the middle one. "Scorpions are afraid of strong light, it will be safer if we run out there."
On Stone Star, the days are longer regardless of the season, and they cannot return to their dormitories at night. In other words, they have to rest in the perilous forest at night.
As they ran, everyone became aware of the problem.
The students, who were being chased around by animals, put aside their competitive spirit and began to cooperate.
"Does anyone have a paint gun?"
"Xia Shizhao."
"Jun Si."
"Damn it, we're all empty-handed! Are these wolves never going to stop? They're still chasing us!"
Everyone's adrenaline surged, and they ran incredibly fast, but the pack of wolves still followed closely behind.
"Damn it! If I stop running, they'll catch up with me sooner or later. I'll kill these bastards."
Yu He picked up a sharp stone, turned around abruptly, and jumped onto what appeared to be the alpha wolf, locking its neck tightly. With his right hand, he quickly stabbed at the wolf's eyes. The alpha wolf, in pain, charged wildly, carrying Yu He away from the area. The other wolves, seeing this, tried to follow.
He was then violently grabbed by the crazed students.
"Damn it! I'll risk it all!"
The others followed suit. Ten wolves were nothing compared to the Zerg they would face in the future, who were a hundred times stronger than them.
The wolves, hurt from the blows, all let out a howl.
Yu He was slammed into a tree by the wolf. She let out a muffled groan, gritted her teeth, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged as she tightened her grip on the wolf's arm until it died and lay on the ground.
She reached her hand to the wolf's nose and found it had stopped breathing; only then did she stand up, still shaken.
She gasped in pain from the scrapes all over her body. Damn it, it felt like her ribs were broken. It hurt so much. Yu He frowned and leaned against a tree, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.
"Yu He!"
After killing the wolf in her hand, the experienced Yu Luqin quickly chased after the direction in which the alpha wolf had just left.
The remaining wolves could easily take on the other students in a two-on-one fight, but it seemed that the wolf that took Yu He away was the leader of the pack.
The strongest wolf in the wolf pack will be chosen as the alpha wolf.
When he noticed her standing there motionless, pale-faced, he asked anxiously, "Where are you hurt?"
"It feels like one of my ribs is broken..." Yu He spoke in pain, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead.
"Don't move, I'll call the instructor to come get you."
After dealing with the remaining wolves, the others caught up, looking at Yu He with tense expressions.
The instructor appeared from the corner. "No need to fight anymore. We're nearby. You performed very well. We'll give you a perfect score. Yu, we're taking you away. You can stay here and continue the competition."
"yes."
On the other side of the forest.
Seeing his classmate's poisoning, Xia Shizhao squatted down with a serious expression, pressing on a dark patch on his ankle. "Don't move. When were you bitten?"
"Well, it seems like it was when I was pursuing you that I felt a pang of pain back then."
"It's alright, just bear with it," Xia Shizhao took out a razor blade and made a sharp cut on his wound, black blood gushing out continuously. He then took out a blood-replenishing herb from his pocket, "Chew it up and eat it."
"Thank you." The boy swallowed the nausea and finished chewing the blade of grass. Ugh, it tasted earthy.
"You're welcome, eighty."
"Ah... okay."
Once the blood turned bright red, Xia Shizhao took out some hemostatic herbs from his pocket and applied them to the wound. He then wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue and said, "That's enough."
"Remember to pay, I won't treat you for nothing." If you weren't a student, I would have charged you eight thousand.
Xia Shizhao pouted, "I'm leaving first. Take care of yourselves."
He waved goodbye and left them.
With his back to them, Xia Shizhao quickly left their sight, a slight smile playing on his lips. He pressed down hard on the gleaming life token in his hand and the life token with the life flag engraved on his back.
Sensing something was wrong, Jun Si looked down at her Life Card. Wait, where's the Life Card? Gone?!
She suddenly looked at her teammates, "Where are your life cards?"
"Holy crap—where's my life card?"
"Mine is gone too???"
"Mine too!"
"Chase after him! Xia Shizhao just took it!!!"
"Ahem, stop chasing, you're eliminated."
Bai Jing, who had seen everything, quietly appeared and took away the bewildered students.
