Chapter 703: All Dead?
Translator: Lordbluefire
Everyone followed the direction Shen Ruojing was pointing at, and sure enough, they saw a bright yellow flag!
That was the signal of victory!
Everyone was excited for a mont and was about to rush forward, but Shen Ruojing suddenly called them to stop. “Wait!”
Everyone imdiately stopped and looked at her.
Shen Ruojing was looking down, carefully studying the traces nearby.
There was a large patch of grass, with sli left on it. Shen Ruojing frowned. After carefully studying it for a mont, her face darkened. “It’s a trace left by a python!”
The soldiers’ faces changed drastically.
Luo Jian’s brows furrowed tightly. “I see. Jing Yi must have tampered with the flag, attracting the python here. If we want to pull out the flag, we’re sure to get entangled with the python! Moreover, if the python is as large as the legends say, considering our lack of firepower, the python can definitely eat us all!!!”
Even if it couldn’t eat ninety people at once, that giant python would certainly kill them first and then slowly eat them one by one.
Ji Shuai cursed, “Damn that Jing Yi! When I get out of here, I’ll break his teeth!”
But these words, at this point, seed nothing more than impotent rage.
They were still at a safe distance for the ti being. But if they approached now, they would surely enter the python’s attack range.
However, if they didn’t approach, were they going to just wait here to die?
Ji Shuai pondered for a mont. “Screw it! We are ninety people. Although we lack firepower, it doesn’t necessarily an we’re dood!”
Luo Jian shook his head. “If Jing Yi believes that the python can kill us, then it’s certainly not an ordinary python. My suggestion is, if we can avoid a direct confrontation, we should.”
After Luo Jian finished speaking, he looked at Shen Ruojing. “Princess, do you think there’s a way for us to trigger the switch under the flag without alerting the python?”
From the mont Shen Ruojing discovered the python’s activity traces, she had been staring ahead.
She remained silent during the dispute.
Now, hearing Luo Jian’s voice, she lowered her eyes, saying lightly, “It’s impossible. In nature, animals are more sensitive than humans, especially in the area in which the python has marked as its hunting ground.”
Luo Jian sighed as well.
If even 518 had no confidence in stealing the flag, how could they succeed?
Ji Shuai looked at her. “What do we do now? We can’t just wait for death to co, right?”
Shen Ruojing’s gaze swept over the soldiers present.
Each of them looked at her earnestly, as if she was their only hope.
The Yan family’s ration for five days had been divided among them. Hence, the food was scarce, and everyone was hungry. It was to the extent that Luo Yan’s chubby face had beco thin, and the other soldiers had also lost weight.
Shen Ruojing knew they couldn’t wait any longer.
She suddenly spoke, “Do you trust ?”
Everyone nodded in agreent.
Shen Ruojing spoke, “Alright, then let’s fight this python together! I refuse to believe that we can’t beat it!”
This was currently the most foolish thod.
But it seed to be the only thod…
Luo Jian wanted to say sothing, but seeing the determined spirit of the crowd, he ended up not saying anything discouraging.
However, he understood that the giant python must not be so simple, and 518’s judgnt this ti was likely to be wrong…
At the command center.
Jing Yi was staring intently at the thermal imaging relayed by the drone.
The island was shrouded in heavy fog, so it was impossible to see the specific scene below clearly. But it could detect the thermal imaging of humans.
A total of 90 people had gathered around the flag.
The crowd stood at a distance, seemingly hesitant. But without much delay, a group of them brazenly charged toward the flag!!
Then, Jing Yi saw the infrared images of over ninety people, one by one, falling to the ground. The red signals were gradually weakening, disappearing…
Infrared imaging relied on human body temperature.
This ant their body temperatures were dropping.
Why were they dropping?
Because… they were dead!!
When the last infrared signal disappeared, a mocking smile appeared in Jing Yi’s eyes. But the next mont, he showed a terrified expression and rushed out. “Sothing’s wrong! All the soldiers are in trouble!”
Upon hearing this, the heads of the Luo, Yan, and Ji families received the news and rushed over imdiately.
Today was the fifth day, and logically the outco should be decided today. Hence, the three family heads had been waiting in the command center for the results.
But they hadn’t expected this kind of outco!
The three family heads were stunned in place!
Their heirs, the most outstanding children of the next generation, were just…. gone?!
