Chapter 601: Deceiving Everyone Everywhere
Chu Jiaojiao was about to make her move——
But strangely, the warrior didn’t make a move, nor did he try to alert his team, which was suspicious.
Ji You immediately said, "Wait."
Chu Jiaojiao, who was about to act, hesitated for a moment, her movement slightly delayed. However, the enemy Mechanical Warrior didn’t even seem to take the chance to escape but continued to stand still.
Ji You said, "Something’s up. Our movements have probably been scoped out by their team in advance. This person you’ve caught is just a sacrificial pawn."
Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for the enemy to be caught and not move, not try to escape, or create some chaos. If she were the pawn, Ji You would want to be a pawn with a purpose, not dying senselessly after being captured.
At this moment, Ji You suddenly leaped out and deftly jumped onto a giant tree opposite them. Right after, everyone heard rustling sounds, and another Mechanical Warrior with branches and leaves sticking out of its head emerged from the tree Ji You had been on.
Ji You raised her hand and greeted, "Hi~ buddy, nice getup."
The buddy looked frustrated and said, "Hey, big sis, you’ve got sharp eyes." How could he not be frustrated when he had gone to such lengths to hide and still got discovered?
Shen Changqing and others saw the Rag Queen swiftly reveal an ally of their foes, and their eyes changed in an instant: Their own alertness was far too lacking!
Shen Changqing ordered, "Be on guard."
Ji You casually chatted up the other party, "Buddy, hiding here in ambush from the get-go, what were you planning to do? Shoot us in the back, or annihilate us completely?"
The buddy kept silent.
Ji You seemed to be casual on the surface, but she was extremely vigilant, "Buddy, have your men stop hiding, I’ve already seen your Mechas’ big foreheads, there, there, and the one hiding in the ground... Come on out."
Everyone: "..."
Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and the rest instantly felt like they were facing a formidable threat: What’s going on? How did everyone fail to notice anything?
The two investigators, Xuzhou and Zhang Ye, had a radical change in their expressions at that moment: Impossible! The enemy was hiding right under their noses, and their reconnaissance capabilities failed to detect them in advance?
This was a disgrace for the two of them.
Then——
The two enemy Mechanical Warriors were shocked by the Rag Queen’s statement; they subconsciously looked in one direction!
Then——
They realized they had been tricked.
"Damn!"
At that moment, Yue Qiguang and Lou leaped out, heading towards the two’s line of sight, and in less than a second, they dragged out a dirt-covered warrior who had been hiding under dead branches and soil.
Yue Qiguang shouted loudly, "Well, well, someone really was hiding in the soil."
Ji You smirked, grinning at the man she threatened with her weapon, "Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. I was just casually chatting with you, not trying to trick your men into betraying themselves."
Buddy: "..."
The fellow said gloomily, "That’s fraud, not chatting."
Ji You grinned, "Heh heh... Relax, relax, tell your Captain not to worry, I’m really not trying to scam you, I was just talking off the cuff, never thought you actually had a third person hiding, or that your main force would be around 3000 meters away, of course, I had no idea that within 1000 meters, you also had someone hiding in the treetop..."
Enemy fellow: "..."
Fuck!
He couldn’t help but send a message in the team: "Boss, are you really hiding around 3000 meters away? Weren’t we supposed to fully retreat?"
Bai Jiu: "..."
Bai Jiu was also quite frustrated and said, "Don’t send messages on the channel, be careful of being intercepted by the enemy’s Reconnaissance Soldier, you three try to provoke them into attacking you, try to protect yourselves as much as possible, and best can delay for about 3 minutes, I will send support."
Beside her, Ji You watched the man under the blade show a constipated expression and wrinkled brows, guessing that the other side was communicating something, and then said, "Um, let me guess, your boss is telling you to fend for yourselves, huh?"
Enemy fellow: "..."
Ji You chuckled and said, "Ditch that kind of boss, and join our team instead. We treat our teammates like treasures, we would never let you be cannon fodder!"
The three of them: "..."
Including Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiguang, Yue Qiyuan, and others, watching this scene, they were all somewhat unable to figure out if what the Rag Queen was saying was true or just complete nonsense.
Is the enemy’s main force hiding around 3000 meters away?
Is it true?
Or is it?
The man held hostage by Ji You suddenly said, "Just kill or slash me, get on with it—I’m not afraid of dying."
Chu Jiaojiao was clutching her knife, already eager and itching to use it.
Ji You suddenly said, "Don’t you feel that these three people are not afraid of dying at all? Also, it seems like they’re even looking forward to us making a move?"
At this point, Sheng Qingyan suddenly jumped behind Ji You, sticking close to her, and said, "I feel the same way."
Chu Jiaojiao continued to grip her knife and said, "There is indeed a strange feeling."
Shen Changqing said, "Hold up for a moment."
After saying that, he looked at Ji You. Getting his meaning, Ji You then turned to the person she was holding and said, "Your boss is really generous, huh? Sending three pieces of cannon fodder at once, that’s really going all out. It’s just not normal, seriously not normal."
The enemy teammate said, "You’re so long-winded."
Isn’t killing or slashing just a simple blade away?
Why can some people just not stop talking?
Ji You continued to chat away, saying, "Let me guess, your boss thinks that losing the three of you is no big deal? Or else, there must be some trap here that we don’t know about."
"What could it be?" Ji You tilted her head, pondering.
Suddenly—
The person guarded by Yue Qiguang and Lou made a sudden dash to escape. Lou’s reflex was to open fire, but Yue Qiguang was one step ahead, catching the runaway: "Daddy hasn’t agreed yet, where do you think you’re running off to?"
Lou retracted the barrel of his gun.
The man appeared somewhat disheartened.
The commotion here barely made a ripple.
...
Every contestant has a total Life Value of 100. When the Life Value drops to rock bottom, that person is considered dead and will automatically be eliminated. All members of Ji You’s team are currently still at a full 100 Life Value.
Under what circumstances does Life Value decrease?
Injury.
And under what circumstances does one get injured?
Ji You always felt that there was some kind of trap hiding here.
...
Then—
Ji You suddenly shouted into the enemy teammate’s communicator, "Boss Bai Jiu, really don’t want your teammates anymore? Even if we get injured because of this, are you sure that losing these 3 will enable you to completely overpower our team?"
Hidden at about 3500 meters away, Bai Jiu, upon hearing this, was truly annoyed: "When did you discover this?"
Ji You chuckled and said, "Ah ha~ So you really were hiding up ahead? I was just shooting my mouth off to bluff you."
Bai Jiu: "..."
