"Are we... just going to be eliminated just like that?"
"They’ve locked us up here instead of directly declaring our elimination, which means the selection isn’t over yet, there are still forty hours..."
Song Lili guessed in her heart, this squad probably had to watch them until the end of the selection... And during this time, the squad leader, Zheng Caisheng, must be suffering even more than them.
Shen Lingxi, sitting opposite her with her beautiful, expressive eyes, stared straight at her. When their eyes met, Shen Lingxi suddenly raised her voice and said,
"Tang Xiaohua, you caused everyone to be caught, don’t you feel ashamed?"
Song Lili just raised her eyebrows, not understanding why Shen Lingxi would say such a thing.
"I stood up to surrender on my own, wanting to use myself as bait to draw the enemy’s attention and to fight for time and opportunities for everyone else. But because of your petty-mindedness, you screwed up my plan!"
Shen Lingxi said loudly, as if fearing that someone here might not hear her.
Song Lili’s mouth twitched slightly after listening.
"What kind of expression is that? At this point, are you still not willing to admit your own despicableness and stupidity? You set up a trap to steal mine and Su Ru’s luggage, and now you have made it impossible for everyone to move!"
Twelve people had made it to the top of Luoheng Mountain, all heading for the Skybridge.
One could say they were excellent soldiers who had received a massive amount of information in a very short time...
Suddenly being tied up and disarmed, who wouldn’t harbor resentment? After a few inciting words from Shen Lingxi, everyone’s resentful and slightly angry gazes fell upon Song Lili.
Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi were still clear-headed enough not to be swayed by Shen Lingxi.
When Lin Xinglan heard what Shen Lingxi said, she became instantly furious, knowing better than anyone what was really going on!
It was clearly Shen Lingxi who wanted to use underhanded tactics to frame Tang Xiaohua, and now it turned out to be her heroically sacrificing herself to act as bait to help everyone out of trouble?
Wasn’t that story a little too fanciful?
"It’s not like you say—"
Lin Xinglan was about to retort when Song Lili already spoke out to stop her!
"Let’s not drag everyone into our personal grievances. As for how we got to this situation... everyone knows in their hearts."
Song Lili said indifferently, without insisting on explaining herself.
To the point, she did not dwell on trivial matters.
"There are still forty hours until the selection ends. As long as we escape from here and take the Skybridge directly to Luqing Mountain, the end will be right before us. The enemy has six people, and we are twelve."
"Plus, we have the daughter of Commander Shen Xinhui. Is this battle that hard to fight?"
Song Lili said casually, asking as if it was nothing.
She did not speak with any force, but these two sentences succeeded in shifting everyone’s anger.
"Yeah, can twelve people not beat six?"
"But the problem is... we’re all tied up now, and we don’t have any weapons..."
"Tang Xiaohua, it’s easy for you to say, our hands and feet are tied, and our weapons have been taken away. How are we supposed to fight this battle?"
"...You said it, who else are we supposed to ask?"
"I did say it, and I said it to get everyone to put our heads together, to unite, to set aside personal grudges, at least for now, faced with the same difficulty, unity is the most sensible approach."
