Chapter 775: Chapter 775: Screams in the Wild Animal Park
A proper storage tool, yet he had turned it into a human flesh mill. It was clear that Ye Chong was not just cunning, but ruthless as well.
Facing such an opponent, merely eliminating him would not be enough to set Bai Youwei’s mind at ease.
It’s only the second battle now. Even if Ye Chong loses, there’s still a chance for him to turn it around. She didn’t want to face off with such a bug player in the final.
Bai Youwei said to Shen Mo, “Tomorrow you and Ya Chaohui should take him on together. Stay a bit afar, if you can lasso his hand that would be best. If his hands are tied, he shouldn’t be able to take anything out, right?”
Shen Mo thought the plan was feasible and nodded. He then asked, “How about the others?”
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, “The elephant and the fox are out. Ye Chong is the bear. The muscle man and the girl should be the lowest rank, the cat and the mouse. The remaining few are the lion, the leopard, the wolf. Only Along has a high enough level to handle them on our side. Both Zhang Yu and Asarina’s levels aren’t high enough, this is a bit troubling…”
Shen Mo furrowed his brows, “We can only play it by ear then. If we really face off, Asarina should face the cat and the mouse, Along and Zhang Yu should deal with the remaining three, and if I and Ya Chaohui can handle on our side, then we will go help them.”
Bai Youwei rubbed her hands together, looking eager to join in, “We’re short-handed, should I help out too?”
“You?” Shen Mo looked amused, surprised, but also a bit dismissive, much like an adult looking at a child.
Bai Youwei pouted, “What? I’ve never been in a fight before! I want to try it, is that not allowed?”
Shen Mo gently ruffled her hair, “Cut it out.”
The sun rose through the dense foliage, casting dazzling halos throughout the forest.
A beam of sunlight hit Hu Dashan’s eyes. He squinted against the brightness, suddenly realizing that he had fallen asleep while on watch.
Having been in the game for a long time, his energy seemed to be dwindling day by day.
With a start, he sat up, peering to his left and right.
Ye Chong hadn’t arrived yet.
Hu Dashan breathed a sigh of relief. He then glanced at Han Lu, who was sleeping heavily beside him. Irritated and helpless, he poked the girl, “Hey, wake up.”
The girl dazedly lifted her head, her complexion pale, her eyes listless and unfocused.
Hu Dashan sighed, “Wake up fully, Ye Chong could be here any moment! We’re responsible for the second half of the night. We can’t fall asleep before the next on-duty group arrives!”
Han Lu finally came to her senses, she got up with difficulty. In order to wake up quickly, she even pinched her arm hard.
They were both scared of Ye Chong.
In the time that followed, they took turns walking up and down the hill, patrolling. They polished off the leftover bit of food from yesterday and managed to regain some energy.
Not long after, Ye Chong’s voice came through the wristwatch:
“Everyone report to the camp, the cat stays on the hill to keep watch.”
Han Lu heard this and felt relieved. To her, keeping watch was the easiest job. As it meant not having to face Ye Chong, hence avoiding his vents and punishments.
The cave was beneath the hill.
Ye Chong, Tian Li, Xiaoqi, and Muscle Man left their respective safety houses and gathered in the cave.
Hu Dashan looked very conscientious, he reported with a lowered head, “It was very quiet last night. There was no activity, he… he didn’t make a sound either. He’s been unconscious the entire time.”
By “he”, he was referring to Tan Xiao.
Tian Li, seemingly concerned for Ye Chong, said, “The people on the other side don’t seem to attack that often. They even gave up a good opportunity to sneak attack at night. I don’t know what they’re planning.”
Ye Chong, with an indifferent look, walked directly into the cave, squatted down in front of Tan Xiao, and casually prodded a bloodied hole in his leg.
Tan Xiao was jolted awake by the pain. He glared at the man before him and shouted, “What are you doing?! … Ahh!!!”
