Chapter 363 - 180: Gu Ningzhi, Fence-Sitter
Gu Ningyi frowned slightly and said naturally, "I know a little... It seems you are determined to get that swamp?"
"It’s not that I’m determined, but that the little girl has given a death order. If we don’t take it, I’ll be in trouble." Gu Ningzhi said with a smile, "By the way, since you know about Anbola Trees, you should also know their characteristics, right?"
"Of course I know a bit, and I’ve already talked to Cui Hu about it. His arrangements are solid, but..." Gu Ningyi shifted his gaze to Cui Hu, who had a serious face. "Seeing your cheerful tone, it seems like you’re confident of victory; his plan might fail."
"Haha, that’s natural." Gu Ningzhi repeated what Su Jiameng had said, "The little girl also predicted that someone in your team would recognize Anbola Trees, but she criticized you for being too principled and not being as shameless as her... So, in this round of the swamp, she’s destined to win. Bro, you don’t mind if I take this part, do you?"
"Whatever, it won’t affect the overall win or loss." Gu Ningyi’s tone was indifferent, completely unconcerned. Even without Su Jiameng’s shameless setup, with Gu Ningzhi holding the line, the team heading for the swamp wouldn’t be able to come back alive.
"Haha..., then I’ll gladly accept it." After retreating to a safe distance, Gu Ningzhi suddenly collapsed onto the ground, resting his head on his hands. He called to his hardworking little comrades, "Come, come, let’s sit down and talk about life and dreams..."
Many little comrades: "..."
Looking around, Gu Ningzhi found that Luo Xin, who had been beside him, was missing, so he casually asked, "Did any of you see Luo Xin... uh, that woman with the explosive body, where did she go?"
A few little comrades all replied they didn’t know. Gu Ningzhi slapped his forehead and then opened the map. On the entire map, red and blue dots were intertwined, with a few disappearing from time to time. Because it was his own camp, he could see the personnel ID represented by each blue dot.
Searching for Luo Xin’s ID, he discovered that her representing blue dot was still in the Anbola Swamp!
Kidding me, this person has a death wish... Although dying in the virtual network only weakens spiritual power for a while, dying mysteriously here is too damaging for a female Star Thief’s reputation!
"Miss Luo Xin, why haven’t you retreated yet?" Gu Ningzhi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He aimed for everyone to take the swamp map without losing a teammate’s life. To achieve this perfect feat, not even the slightest flaw was allowed, "If you stay there, when the time comes, you’ll be blown up!"
"Gu Ningzhi, you’re too long-winded." After a while, Luo Xin responded. She was squatting in front of a compressed timed explosive, dexterously dismantling it and recording various data before reinstalling it.
Her Star Thief den was on a planet covered with Anbola Trees, rich in resources, but with a mixed crew that often had pesky little mice causing trouble on her turf, much to her annoyance! A lot of manpower and resources were spent annually on monitoring and eliminating these "little mice".
Although she had long known Anbola Trees were special, she never thought they could be used for surveillance. Su Jiameng’s shameless tactics inspired her, opening up a new world.
After breaking down and reassembling the mental adjustment device created by Su Jiameng, recording various data... Although this thing was crude, handing it to experts for research would certainly lead to further development, greatly increasing its power.
After finishing these things, she leisurely packed up and decisively left after confirming that the enemy team had all been captured. Meanwhile, Augustus’s exploration team thoroughly scouted the swamp but found nothing unusual. Not even a shadow of an enemy, not even a bird!
"What’s going on?" The leading deputy supported himself with a sturdy tree trunk while contacting Cui Hu, "This is the swamp map, but no enemy traces were found. Requesting next instructions!"
Cui Hu was doubtful, thinking that, according to his calculations, the enemy would definitely not abandon this map, but the message from the teammates said there was no one... What’s going on? Did they temporarily redeploy, or is there another plot twist?
Thinking this, Cui Hu was about to issue a retreat order when a faint tremor came from the ground.
