Chapter 147: Lu Shinian: She’s Spoiled by Me
Chapter 147: Lu Shinian: She’s Spoiled by Me
On the afternoon of the second day of the military contest, the long-watched creek finally welcomed its first visitor.This visitor was Zhang Hao from the Logistics Department of the Second Legion.
The order he received was to find a water source, so upon seeing the creek, he immediately reported excitedly through his walkie-talkie: "Captain, I found a water source, it’s here in the southeast."
At this moment, Zhang Hao did not notice the sharp arrowhead aimed at his forehead.
The shadows of the trees swayed, lights and shadows shifted, and the arrowhead slowly moved down, targeting Zhang Hao’s calf.
With a "whoosh" sound, the arrowhead shot through the air, the air faintly tearing.
By the time Zhang Hao reacted, the arrowhead had already grazed his skin, and the intense pain from his calf made him freeze in surprise.
The walkie-talkie had cut off communication, and Zhang Hao didn’t have time to report this news to the captain before Qiang Duoduo suddenly rushed out and tackled him to the ground.
Qian Duoduo bound Zhang Hao tightly with the vines he and Zhao Yujie had found and chuckled, "Caught in my hands, aren’t you?"
Zhang Hao came to his senses, looked at Qian Duoduo, and asked, "What is that?"
What kind of weapon pierced his skin, bringing sharp stinging pain?
Qian Duoduo patted Zhang Hao’s face, "Dumbfounded? That’s an Ancient Weapon!"
Su Ruan’s junior sure is something! She hit the target right off.
Perhaps it’s because Zhang Hao is from the Logistics Department and has inherently weak combat power?
Anyway, catching one person is catching one person.
Qian Duoduo rummaged around Zhang Hao’s body but didn’t find a "Military Token." He clicked his tongue in discontent and confiscated his walkie-talkie, "You don’t even have a Military Token on you, what’s the use of you?"
Zhao Yujie silently supplemented, "To be bait."
Zhang Hao: ???
He suddenly realized something and began to struggle violently.
"You’re shameless! Sneak-attacking like this!"
The Second Legion always acted openly and boldly; to put it bluntly, they were slow in thought, didn’t understand tactics, and only attacked head-on.
They despised sneak-attackers the most, especially the two in front of him!
Zhang Hao struggled hard, getting red in the face, "Let me go! Fight me openly if you have the guts."
Qian Duoduo patted Zhang Hao’s face again and tightened the ropes, "Haha, I’ve already tied you up, I’m no fool. Why should I fight you openly?"
"Alright, you don’t have the right to speak now."
While saying this, Qian Duoduo gagged Zhang Hao.
On the high ground, Su Ruan hid under a big tree, observing everything that happened by the creek clearly.
She held the bow and arrow steadily, without a quiver.
Half an hour later, two members of the Second Legion came, having received Zhang Hao’s message about a water source.
When they arrived and saw Zhang Hao tied up on the ground, they rushed to his side, asking worriedly, "Who tied you up?"
As soon as they spoke, two arrows shot through the air, piercing their calves, causing intense pain that temporarily incapacitated them.
That’s when Qian Duoduo and Zhao Yujie dashed out and tied them up.
Zhang Hao: ...
The three tied-up people looked at each other, uncertain what to say.
Finally, Zhang Hao broke the silence, "Do you think the captain will come?"
The team member tied up to Zhang Hao’s left replied, "They should be on their way here."
"Do you think they’ll end up like us?" Zhang Hao asked again.
"That thing was too fast." He didn’t even see it before getting pierced, such trickery.
Zhang Hao: ...
He felt a bad premonition.
In the next two hours, two by two, more members of the Second Legion came for water, all getting their calves pierced by the inexplicable arrows from nowhere. While they were stunned, Qian Duoduo and Zhao Yujie dashed out and tied them up.
In the streaming room, the sight of all the Second Legion members tied up captured many viewers’ attention.
The newcomers, confused, commented with bullet messages asking what happened, while those who arrived earlier seriously explained: [There was an arrow that suddenly shot out, and two people dashed out suddenly, and that’s how it happened.]
Later arrivals: ???
What’s "whoosh"? What’s this? And then?
Everyone entered confused, looked at the explanation bewilderedly, and then watched in shock as more Second Legion members got tied up.
Now they understood, oh, so it was like a "whoosh" here, and another "whoosh" there, and finally, everyone was tied up and neatly seated.
From the Second Legion, besides their captain, who is the Deputy Commander and Mecha Warrior, the other eight members were all tied up.
Qian Duoduo searched the eight people and found five Military Tokens, along with some supplies.
One could say the efforts of the Second Legion over these past two days were for naught, as everything went into Qian Duoduo and his team’s pockets.
After tying the eight people together, Qian Duoduo ran up to the high ground, giving Su Ruan a thumbs up.
"Junior sister, you shot those arrows quite accurately."
Su Ruan smiled, "Not bad, isn’t the Second Legion still missing two people?"
Qian Duoduo nodded, "That’s what I came to tell you."
"Their Mecha Warrior is very powerful. With our current strength, even if we sneak attack, we won’t have the advantage."
"I’m thinking maybe we should end things here for now. We’ve already got five Military Tokens and supplies; let’s consolidate before we gather more weapons and plan another ambush."
When the bow and arrow face off against mecha, it’s like an egg against a rock—doomed to fail.
Though Su Ruan is skilled in archery, bows and mecha, along with those hot weapons, aren’t of the same caliber.
She pondered for two seconds and nodded in agreement, "Alright."
"You and Zhao Yujie head to the cave we found yesterday."
"I’ll meet you in half an hour."
Qian Duoduo acknowledged with a "Got it" and quickly turned to find Zhao Yujie.
The two of them soon left the creek, leaving the eight members of the Second Legion looking at each other cluelessly.
As the competition grew more intense, Lu Shinian received Zong Yan from the Second Legion’s "friendly greeting."
"Lu Shinian, you rascal!"
"Blatantly opening the back door for your girl, huh?"
"You taught her archery, didn’t you? You also taught her to ambush my Second Legion, didn’t you?"
Lu Shinian, busy with matters about the new Insect Race, was unaware of what Su Ruan had done in those few hours.
After receiving Zong Yan’s "greeting," he glanced over and responded calmly, "Spoiled by me."
Zong Yan: ...
Lu Shinian, you beast! Damn, you’re inhumane!
