Who is this man?
"Is someone coming?"
Liu Xia was startled by the noise. It was only the second day of the trials, and a contestant had already found a car?
She'd walked all this time, rising early and staying up late, and yet she hadn't spotted a single working car. How could anyone be so lucky? Not only did she find a working vehicle, but judging by the engine's thrum, it was even a powerful one.
Or, are they the Hyena Gang members who sneaked into the competition area?
Liu Xia quickly looked around and immediately chose a hiding spot. He then left the main road and slipped sideways into the banyan tree forest beside the road. Dense vines clung to the tree trunks, hanging down like tassels, and along with the huge banyan tree trunks, they perfectly concealed the figures of the two.
She dragged Hao Feiyang steadily with one hand, and used the other hand to push aside the hanging green vines. The rotten mud made a slight creaking sound under the soles of her shoes. She looked at the unidentified vehicle approaching in the distance.
“Mmm…”
Hao Feiyang's muffled groan sounded at the right time. As he gradually regained consciousness, he seemed to hear the sound of the engine. To be honest, it was not comfortable to be carried on someone's shoulders and bumped all the way, so he started to act dishonestly.
Liu Xia squatted down and threw the man to the ground. He placed the alloy dagger across Hao Feiyang's rolling Adam's apple and said in a low voice, "Shut up! If you dare to move again, I'll kill you right now!"
Hao Feiyang fell to the ground and groaned loudly in pain. His thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like two trembling black butterflies. There was a trace of tears in his peach blossom eyes, which showed that he was hurt by the fall. He looked at Liu Xia and blinked innocently, but finally he was forced to be obedient under the pressure.
The sound of a car engine roared as they drove over. From a distance, it looked like a familiar black jeep. It suddenly braked less than ten meters away from where they were hiding.
The car door opened with a bang, and a pair of muddy military boots stepped heavily on the ground. Song Xuan, wearing a military-style protective suit, got out of the car leisurely.
"Liu Xia, are you here?" Song Xuan looked down at the instrument in his hand, looked towards the approximate location where Liu Xia was hiding, and shouted loudly with some anxiety in his voice.
This was the fifth contestant's mark that Song Xuan had found in the deeply polluted area. Ever since the "Leviathan" Governor Qi Yao ordered the selection to end early, the guards received orders to take the contestants out of the competition area.
At this time, Song Xuan also drove alone into the competition area and began to search for Liu Xia's traces based on the equipment.
In order to prevent cheating, the instrument can only see the red dot representing the contestant's life, but cannot clearly identify which contestant the red dot belongs to.
If Song Xuan wanted to find Liu Xia, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. He could only take his chances and search one place at a time.
He knew that with Liu Xia's personality, he would definitely go to the deeply polluted area first to look for traces of those advanced mutant beasts.
Therefore, his method of investigation was different from that of other members of the Guards, who started from the place where he separated from Liu Xia and moved inwards until he entered the medium and deep pollution areas. Only then would he get off the car to search based on the red dot on the instrument that represented the life of the contestant.
Every time he found a player, he would inform the other party that the game was over, leave the competition area as soon as possible, provide the other party with new supplies, and then set out again to find Liu Xia.
Liu Xia finally remembered that this familiar jeep was the one Song Xuan had driven before. Since she had only seen this car once, her memory was a little fuzzy.
"I'm here."
It was the first time Liu Xia saw Song Xuan wearing this kind of military-style protective clothing. In addition, Song Xuan was wearing a protective shield, so it was really hard to tell it was him without looking closely.
It was not until she heard that low and cold voice that her heart skipped a beat. Then she looked carefully at who the person was. She soon saw the familiar handsome face inside the protective shield and the metal prosthetic limb protruding from the cuff of the protective suit.
Liu Xia's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and he ran briskly out of the banyan tree forest that had concealed him. He waved happily at Song Xuan and asked with a surprised smile, "Why are you here?!"
Song Xuan's slender figure seemed to be glowing under the scorching sun. When he heard Liu Xia's voice, he suddenly turned around and looked. When he found that it was really Liu Xia, whom he had been looking for for several hours, his heart finally settled back into his stomach.
He immediately strode forward happily, looked at her with a smile, and couldn't help but hold Liu Xia's arm.
Looking at the sweat oozing from Liu Xia's temples and the leaves stuck on her hair, he wiped the sweat off her head with some heartache: "The selection competition has been forced to be suspended. I'll come to pick you up!"
Liu Xia stared at Song Xuan with sparkling eyes. Song Xuan was wearing a military-style protective suit. She liked this look the most in the real world. She stared at him for a long time with sparkling eyes, which made Song Xuan look a little annoyed.
Song Xuan coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "Is there anything strange about me?"
"Not surprising, it's quite good-looking, very handsome!" Liu Xia praised without hesitation, and then seemed to remember something, "Wait a minute, I forgot something."
Just when Song Xuan was feeling happy and even a little excited after being praised, he saw Liu Xia turn around and run back.
After a while, Liu Xia came out with something on his shoulder, like a sack, and emerged from the woods again, shouting cheerfully, "I've captured a prisoner!"
Song Xuan's gaze shifted towards Liu Xia's shoulder, landing on Hao Feiyang, who was tied up like a dumpling on her shoulder. His brows furrowed slightly, and he pointed at the two long, thin legs with a hint of envy and asked, "Who is this man? Why is he being carried on my shoulders?"
He hadn't finished speaking yet. Was this person always being carried like this? Wouldn't that mean he was always very close to Sister Xiao Xia?
Liu Xia casually threw Hao Feiyang to the ground. He didn't notice that Song Xuan was a little upset, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably. "He's from the Hyena Gang. I caught him by chance and plan to take him back to Leviathan for interrogation."
"By the way, how did you find this place?"
Song Xuan shook the instrument in his hand, and a red signal source flashed on the screen: "This is the official standard instrument. All the contestants' signals are on it."
After being thrown around like this, and with some deliberate effort, Hao Feiyang finally spat out the thick rag in his mouth. The red teardrop mole at the corner of his eye smiled, and he said with a sly charm: "Hey~ Isn't this the famous Deputy Commander Song?"
Song Xuan's gaze briefly shifted from Liu Xia to rest on the dung-like hostage. The scorching sun made it difficult to open his eyes. He tilted his head and squinted at Hao Feiyang lying on the ground. He noticed that Hao Feiyang's hands had been disarticulated, and his initially jealous mood softened.
"Hao Feiyang from the Hyena Gang..." Song Xuan's stern face was filled with surprise.
He then looked up at Liu Xia, his teeth bared once again, and he praised her generously, "You actually caught this slippery guy. I caught him many times before, but he always escaped. You're amazing!"
Hao Feiyang looked at his old rival who was smiling with a worthless look on his face, and felt as if he didn't know him anymore.
Is this still the Song Xuan who chased him across half of the garbage area, always had a cold face, and looked like someone owed him hundreds of exotic beast cores?
