“She took part in the competition?”
Commander Yang was stunned. “You let a newbie compete with the wily old foxes?”
Unlike Commander Yang, who appeared agitated, Commander Chen’s countenance turned more solemn.
Not only them—the members of the three military schools too looked shocked.
She only just came in and they let her take part in this activity?
“Or else? Is there a rule stipulating newbies aren’t allowed to take part in the competition?”
Lu Yimei furrowed her brows. “The point of getting a newbie enter is so that she can progress even faster.”
Of course, she wouldn’t reveal that it was Gu Qingjiu herself who expressed her wish of taking part.
“What kind of joke is this?”
Commander Yang laughed. “Then let’s look forward to seeing how long this newbie can persist before she gets eliminated. If my member wasn’t unlucky, the first to get eliminated might have been this newbie.”
Lu Yimei merely glanced at him and said nothing.
What arrogance?
It was all because of that sharpshooter Yin Ruoyi that the Shooting Department of National Defense University behaved so arrogantly now.
“Brother Yang, there’s a popular saying online these days: Don’t casually raise a flag.[1]. What happens if that newbie makes it all the way to the end?”
Commander Chen poured cold water on him with a chuckle on the side.
Commander Yang rolled his eyes.
But his gaze involuntarily turned towards that pitch-dark forest.
It wasn’t that difficult to make it to the end of the shooting competition.
The reason being, the area was large enough, plus it took place at night.
Many members wouldn’t abruptly attack unless they were certain they had a good grasp of the situation.
Under such circumstances, it was actually very difficult to eliminate someone.
By the time the competition ended, at most, only tens of people would be eliminated.
After all, after all the activities, this was more or less the number of people left.
As for that member who was eliminated earlier, it could only be said that he was unlucky!
Just as they were talking, Commander Chen already saw a figure coming down from the top of the mountain.
“That eliminated member of the National Defense University is out.”
Everyone’s gazes turned towards him.
It was a guy, and he looked quite dejected.
Commander Yang initially didn’t wish to reprimand him, but it was inevitable that he sounded serious, so he came off as stern. “What happened?”
That guy said helplessly, “I was too careless. When I went forward, someone detected my presence. That person had really quick reflexes and was hiding behind a bush. I don’t know if it was someone from Haihe Military University or National Military University of China.”
Under those circumstances, that guy could only shoulder the responsibility for this outcome.
After one was hit, they couldn’t go near the shooter to see who it was, and instead had to immediately return to the troops.
When others saw that his light was lit up on his way back, it meant that he was eliminated, so the other members wouldn’t shoot at him.
“That means you’re not observant enough. Take this as a lesson. Fall back in!”
Commander Yang could only let out a silent sigh.
That guy nodded, saluted, then fell back in with the troops…
Commander Chen and Lu Yimei glanced at each other.
He had made plenty of sarcastic remarks earlier, so he decided he shouldn’t speak any further.
Now, they just had to wait quietly for the competition to end.
Lu Yimei prayed in her heart.
She had spoken confidently just now. She didn’t hope that Gu Qingjiu could eliminate other players, but she hoped that she could at least make it until the end.
That is if she was lucky enough and no one managed to find where she was hiding.
There shouldn’t be a problem for her to make it until the end right?
