Chapter 886: 885, how many did you cut?
“Change course? Our mission this ti is to cross this forest. Are you planning to avoid them?”
“Not exactly avoiding them, just taking a shortcut.”
“But we’re totally unfamiliar with the terrain here, and those people didn’t even give us a simplified map before we set out!”
“I have one.”
Tang Shu dug around casually and pulled out a repeatedly folded…
“Map?!”
The only two guys in the team exclaid in unison, so loudly that they startled a few birds into flapping away into the distance.
“Yeah, a map.”
Tang Shu gave the young boy a puzzled look, “So you never bothered to check what’s inside the military backpack?”
“…”
How careless.
Zhou Daniu burst into laughter imdiately, “We’ve got a map! Sister Tang Shu, you’re amazing. I bet we’re the only team with a map among all these teams!”
What does having a map an? It ans they have a thorough understanding of this forest, it ans they can take a lot fewer detours. This is like the ultimate weapon for victory.
The buddies were thrilled, and even Tang Shu showed a joyful smile.
“Let’s find a place to rest and sort out lunch. This afternoon we’ll plan our route for the next few days.”
“Shall I go find so wild fruit?”
“No.”
“Uh… Should I go hunting? I can’t handle the birds flying above, but with so luck, I might find a wild chicken.”
Hunting for birds or sothing, Zhou Daniu felt even with his enormous strength, it was sothing he couldn’t do. After all, the birds were up in the sky, well beyond his reach on land.
“That’s not necessary either.”
Tang Shu spoke again with a smile, her bright eyes sparkling in the sunlight, giving the two opposite her a real sense of what a good mood was.
Hearing her reject both suggestions, Ren Xiazhi had an ominously bad premonition, “Tang, Sister Tang Shu, what are you planning to do?”
“We don’t have so much ti to waste on cooking, how about… let’s go rob instead.”
“???”
Wait a minute, what did you just say, we didn’t catch that!
Before the two could voice their confusion, Tang Shu tossed her backpack to Zhou Daniu and said, “Wait here,” then dashed ahead, disappearing into the jungle in monts.
Zhou Daniu caught on belatedly, “What’s she doing?”
“Obviously, she’s gone to rob food.”
Ren Xiazhi had an expressionless face, looking extrely calm, but inside he was cursing like a sailor.
Why did he guess Tang Shu’s intention right away? They had only t less than a day ago, sothing was not right!

On the first day of the assessnt, the 50 students hadn’t pulled too far away from each other, mostly lingering around the edge of the forest.
As Tang Shu made her way, she concentrated on the subtle sounds around her. It didn’t take long before she spotted several camouflaged personnel planning to have their al, several dark green helts flickering in the bushes, with a murmur of conversation drifting through.
“How many did you chop down, bro?”
“Um—five. Those rookies are quite good at hiding, it took forever to find them.”
“No rush, it’s only the first day. Let them frolic for a bit; sooner or later, we’ll round them all up.”
“What’s for lunch? I brought a self-heating rice pot, wanna try?”
“Hey! You think this is a pleasure trip? Be careful or the boss will ream you out if we screw up!”
“Tsk~~ Those rookies are not a threat. Though there are a few who can fight, they’re still not worth our attention.”
