The characters familiar from the past life now have changed their names, becoming someone else, and have developed connections with previous events.
Gu Tong speculated endlessly, but she didn’t have a so-called answer. She casually picked up a branch and said, "So that’s how it is. Then your goal is the Divine Artifact Camp?"
"This... I haven’t decided yet..." Yang Yun was somewhat uncertain, as these were unpredictable matters, not yet part of her plan.
Gu Tong was never one to talk excessively and wouldn’t actively inquire, so she ended the topic naturally.
Returning to their temporary resting place, the tents had already been set up.
Outside the tents, the food was simple vacuum-sealed meals, not needing a fire to avoid attracting attention. A group of people gathered for a meal.
"We’re hiding here, we’re not breaking the rules, right?" Shang Qimin suddenly said, "Everyone else is fighting with all their strength, but we’re... like runaways..."
His voice grew smaller and he looked somewhat conflicted towards Fang Liqiang, hoping to find a teammate.
However, Fang Liqiang ignored him and instead said, "What’s the problem? Deceiving the enemy is precisely the principle of trainees."
Ever since he had been convinced by Gu Tong, he had wholeheartedly integrated into Gu Tong’s camp, ’loyal and devoted’ unless something particularly special occurred.
Shang Qimin saw that no one paid him any mind, pursed his lips, and awkwardly fell silent.
"Don’t worry, with Gu Tong leading us, we’re sure to win," Yuan Jianlan said, carefree as ever, patting her on the shoulder.
"Let’s hope so..." Shang Qimin replied.
Geng Yifan picked up a napkin to wipe his hands and glanced at Gu Tong’s position, saying, "The equipment bags need to be counted. Come with me to take a look."
Gu Tong responded with an "Mm," stood up naturally, having no interest in eating anymore either.
The two of them entered the tent one after the other.
"Is there something up?" As soon as she stepped inside the tent, Gu Tong asked, full of curiosity.
Because she could ascertain that Geng Yifan had purposefully called her away, not to count equipment bags.
"Have you offended Shang Qimin?"
Geng Yifan asked subtly, but Gu Tong had already speculated.
They’ve been quarreling continuously during this period, but if you pay close attention, you can observe a pattern.
It is always Shang Qimin who initiates a spark, and then Fang Liqiang takes the cue to provoke and offend others.
While Shang Qimin observes from the sidelines, ready to alter the situation—if you aren’t meticulous, you might not notice this detail.
Gu Tong could confirm this; she had no significant relationship with Shang Qimin, so there was no question of offending him.
"That’s good." Geng Yifan hesitated but still said, "Shang Qimin used to be with me at the Special Student Pavilion Academy, and later we were both transferred to the Special Student Pavilion Academy. His reputation wasn’t great back then; everyone said he was cunning and malicious."
"Even though we are battle comrades from the same Academy, speaking about him in this way is quite inappropriate. However, given that this is a squad battle, we mustn’t let one person disrupt the entire strategy."
Geng Yifan, meticulous and perceptive, could easily identify problems within the squad. If one person jeopardized the plan, the entire squad would face defeat!
Moreover, they had painstakingly united, with Fang Liqiang playing along, so at this crucial moment, no accidents could be allowed.
If Gu Tong didn’t comprehend this logic, she would be living in vain. At such a critical moment, there could be no mistakes. "As a woman leading the team, it’s inevitable that someone might be dissatisfied. When we go out shortly, I’ll announce you as the leader. Will that make managing the team easier?"
