Chapter 403: Was It Gu Qingjiu?
“... Ah, soone from our school got eliminated again.”
Commander Chen sighed as he looked at his device.
Commander Yang’s countenance remained terrible.
Lu Yii, too, let out an “ooh” as she held up her device. “Soone on our side was eliminated as well.”
“Finally?”
Commander Chen said with a smile, “I’m surprised the National Military University of China put up such a stable performance this ti.”
“I’m surprised too.”
Lu Yii laughed. “Perhaps we’re just lucky.”
“Lucky...”
Commander Chen’s tone seed to imply a deeper aning.
As they were speaking, two people walked over from afar.
Everyone froze.
They thought that both were eliminated separately. No one expected them to be eliminated together.
“Zhu Yuan.”
Lu Yii called her teammate over.
“Which school eliminated you?”
Zhu Yuan instantly pointed at that Haihe Military University guy beside him. “Him. But while he was hitting , soone else hit him. There’s sothing not quite right with this person.”
“Not quite right?”
Lu Yii frowned. “What do you an by that?”
While she was asking, Commander Chen’s brows furrowed as well. They heard the sa thing.
“The person ran in there to lure others to fire at him, which was how my hideout was exposed. He was quick and had an agile response. I didn’t get to hit him. That was how the Haihe Military University guy discovered , and yet at the sa ti that person wiped him out.”
“Lured you into firing at him?”
Lu Yii was shocked to hear this.
Lu Yibin also found it unbelievable. “How bold is this person to have the guts to lure you guys out?”
He wanted to say ‘wishful thinking,’ but with two successful baited victims standing right in front, Lu Yibin couldn’t say that out loud.
“We usually go for a steady approach. For this person to lure you guys out, they must be a rash and impatient person.”
Lu Yii grazed her finger over her sharp chin, looking to be deep in thought. “But we’re all experienced here. It’s been five rounds since the newest mber entered this competition. Who would abruptly change their tactic? I know everyone from the other two schools’ Shooting Departnts. They don’t have this...”
A na suddenly appeared in her mind.
That was why she stopped mid-sentence.
Not only her. Lu Yibin, Zhu Yuan, and all the mbers behind had one na surface in their minds at the sa ti.
“It’s Gu Qingjiu.”
Lu Yibin was stunned and in disbelief. “But she’s a newbie. How could she have the guts...”
There was a glow in Lu Yii’s eyes as she spoke in a hushed tone, lest Commander Chen, and the rest heard her. “Zhu Yuan, tell , how fast was that person’s response exactly? The mont when you were eliminated—tell in as much detail as you can rember.”
Zhu Yuan, too, realized that a scary thought ford in Lu Yii’s mind. Hence, without any further ado, he told her everything he could sense at that ti.
“I was hiding behind a tree and behind were tree branches... similar to dense spider webs. Hiding there was pretty much very safe, but then this person suddenly appeared. The speed at which he ran wasn’t that fast, but the instant I fired a shot at him, he speedily rolled over. This was why I didn’t manage to hit him.
“I then followed up with another shot, but by then he had already hid behind a tree. Hence why I missed both tis.”
