Chapter 789: Chapter 789: Late to the Wildlife Park
The sun slowly crawled above the treetops, casting a warm and generous glow upon the forest.
The temperature was just right, as was the humidity—today was an excellent day.
Bai Youwei ordered, “Stay on your respective positions and inform me if anything pops up.”
Ya Chaohui looked at her without saying a word.
Since starting the game, Bai Youwei had never once launched a proactive attack. Every strategy was reactive! He had questioned, annoyed, pestered, and rushed her to no avail.
Ya Chaohui stopped asking. He wouldn’t get the answer regardless.
Bai Youwei instructed Asarina again, “Stand on the front line of the forest. The bow and arrow can’t function well within the forest; you can only use it before they enter.”
“I understand,” said Asarina, picking up her bow and arrows and placing them on her back.
With all the necessary instructions given, Bai Youwei had nothing more to say. She pulled her wheelchair over, sitting down and calmly said, “Go now. I’ll wait here on the slope for your good news.”
Everyone exchanged glances and headed to their respective positions.
Ya Chaohui took the left-side guard, Along the right, and Asarina at the center.
Seated in her wheelchair, Bai Youwei gazed into the wide open meadow between the two forests. If her prediction was right, Ye Chong would be launching an attack soon.
He was a man with a strong sense of pride. Once he realized he had been deceived last night, he would undoubtedly be fuming and fingertips on the trigger for revenge. Hence, they wouldn’t have to wait long…
As she was contemplating this, a few figure did appear on the grassland.
Bai Youwei squinted her eyes and raised her wrist, “The other side is starting to move. Three people, they seem to be planning to enter the forest from the southeast.”
Ya Chaohui: “Southeast is Along’s position, Along, do you see anything?”
Along: “Yes, but… something’s off…”
Bai Youwei frowned, “What’s off?”
“They’re walking very slowly…” Along uncertainly replied, “They’re a bit far, I’ll observe more closely.”
One would naturally prefer a quicker pace, if planning to sneak. Slow walking would only expose oneself more easily.
Could it be another prop? Another plot?
Bai Youwei frowned, “Ya Chaohui, Asarina, go support Along and find out what’s going on. Be careful!”
The two of them acknowledged.
In a while, Asarina’s voice came through, “We’ve met up with Along. The three coming are indeed Ye Chong and his team members, but we don’t know why they’re moving so slowly. I’m ready to try shooting them with my arrow to see their reaction.”
Bai Youwei merely hummed in acknowledgment, “Be safe and adapt as needed.”
At that moment, frantic footsteps echoed from within the forest.
Bai Youwei froze, her gaze attentive as she asked, “Are you sure that the three people are Ye Chong and his teammates?”
“For sure.” Asarina affirmed, “They are walking towards the forest…”
A foreboding sense rose in Bai Youwei, “Asarina, retreat for now. Do not attack…”
But it was too late. An arrow had already been shot!
A scream emanated from Asarina!
“Asarina?!” Bai Youwei urgently asked, “What happened?!”
Along cursed loudly, followed by Ya Chaohui’s voice, “Those three aren’t real! They are decoys! They’re probably some tool from the white gloves that can inflict a backlash attack. Asarina’s arrow hit the fake’s stomach, and now Asarina has been hurt in her stomach too! White gloves this time are playing a game of luring the tiger away from the mountain. You better find a place to hide!”
Looking coldly at the three figures at the bottom of the slope, Bai Youwei slowly lowered her wrist, “Too late…”
They had already arrived.
