"Perhaps they’re hiding... be careful, these little scamps might be green recruits, but each of them has more than their share of cunning..."
"Yes, Captain."
"Take down as many as you can, just don’t lose to Captain Xu’s group!"
"Don’t worry, Captain Liu, Captain Xu’s group only has five people, how could they take down more than us?"
"Hmph, hasn’t that Xu been boasting that even with just five people, he could wipe out our entire team?"
"Captain Liu, just relax. The brothers won’t let you lose face!"
"Then get moving and find them!"
"Yes!"
The sound of footsteps and the rustling of bushes in search repeated back and forth in this area...
Despite its hidden location, this small valley in the ravine wouldn’t remain undiscovered for long with this level of searching.
Song Lili listened to the conversation between the two n above... judging that there seed to be only two, she spontaneously conceived a bold idea.
After glancing at Lin Xinglan, she turned her gaze to Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi, coincidentally, Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi were also looking at her.
Even hiding in the sa place, it was hard to determine if they were friends or foes at the mont.
But... soone had to make the first move.
Song Lili didn’t hesitate, making that move herself, carefully and slowly inching toward the spot closest to Bian Yiyi, despite Bian Yiyi’s gun remaining trained on her.
She pointed upward and lowered her voice to the faintest whisper, so soft that even Lin Xinglan behind her could hardly hear,
"Hiding here isn’t a solution. They will find us eventually if we don’t go out. We don’t know the rules of this ’ga’ just yet, Qing Luo, Bian Yiyi... let’s collaborate."
What Song Lili proposed was clearly understood by Bian Yiyi and Qing Luo,
"How do we collaborate? Explain clearly first, then we’ll decide."
Song Lili didn’t beat around the bush, "There are two people above us. Capturing them will get us information, which is better than just waiting here doing nothing."
Bian Yiyi narrowed his eyes and scoffed,
"How should we capture them?"
"They will find this place sooner or later. I’ll act as bait, make a noise to lure them here. anwhile, you two set up an ambush. Once they focus on , that’s your chance to move in and capture them."
"..."
"..."
Song Lili’s plan sounded simple, but Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi knew it wasn’t so easy in practice.
Yet Qing Luo and Bian Yiyi didn’t refuse, because their situation was the sa as Song Lili’s. They had no idea what was happening outside, dared not to venture out rashly, and ti was ticking away with more than half of the fifty-kiloter journey still remaining.
They needed a breakthrough.
Song Lili presented the plan and took on the most risky part, leaving the two n no room for dithering.
"We can do it, but... how can we trust you?"
Bian Yiyi questioned.
Song Lili shrugged, "I really can’t answer that. Trust is up to your own judgnt, just like I made my call to propose collaborating with you under special circumstances. If you don’t collaborate or if you cheat during the collaboration, I’ll face the consequences alone."
"..."
Qing Luo’s srizing blue eyes had been silently fixed on Song Lili...
While Bian Yiyi was still hesitating, Qing Luo said,
"If we’re going to do this, now’s the ti, to avoid complications when more people arrive."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he had already thrown a rock from his hand!
Song Lili was startled by Qing Luo’s decisive action at that mont...
"What was that sound?"
"Captain Liu, it seems to be coming from this side, there’s movent below..."
"Shh..."
Song Lili took a deep breath and crouched down under the rock wall, right in front of the cave entrance, just then a beam from a flashlight shot down from above...
"Captain Liu, we’ve got soone here!"
