The freshmen could not keep the conversation going anymore so they got up and stood vigilantly.

  Jian Qi smiled and asked, “No more gossiping?”


  The freshmen were silent for a few seconds before one of them answered, “Nah, it isn’t good for men to be gossipy.”


  Jian Qi nodded. “It’s good that you people know this!”


  The freshmen. “.……”


  Could lightning not come down right then and strike her?!

  Lu Yao could not help but reaffirm his decision to not even get into a single conversation with this girl. He was already halfway to wanting to fight her then just by listening in on the conversation, and who knew how it would be if he talked to her directly.

  Seeing that no one wanted to talk to her, Jian Qi sighed dramatically, “Do you people want to stifle me to death like this weather?”


  Lu Yao turned over with an annoyed expression. “Talk about being bored and stifled when you lose the ability to amuse yourself with a standup comedy!”


  Jian Qi only laughed in return. “I can do that, but I wouldn’t want to annoy you!”


  Lu Yao. “.……”


  The lips of the two freshmen twitched.

  She really was a conversation ender!

  No matter who it was, they would give up on having a conversation with her.

  Now, everything was silent.

  Jian Qi looked at the three men that were looking around vigilantly, not even looking in her direction.

  Was she some kind of beast?

  Jian Qi was relaxed as she looked at the beautiful night sky, knowing that it was the calm before the storm.

  As they were resting, the number displayed on the wristband continued to decrease.

  Jian Qi could not help but muse about how this sort of hot weather would cause people to become restless.

  “What do we do now?” A freshman asked. “Do we continue resting, or do we continue?”


  Jian Qi was fine with whichever choice, so she looked over at Lu Yao and the other freshman.

  It was not easy to find people in the dark without any idea where they were, and Lu Yao looked at the two freshmen that were hurt and said, “Let’s find another place to rest and recover from your injuries. We set out tomorrow.”


  The two freshmen thought about it before nodding, and then they found an abandoned house to rest in, deciding on rotating lookout shifts.

  Lu Yao was the first to be on night watch, and the next was Jian Qi.

  As Jian Qi was about to change shifts with the next freshman, the sound of footsteps came from outside the house.

  The two of them looked at each other, noting that there was more than one person outside the door before they went to wake Lu Yao and the other freshman up.

  The two of them were sleeping lightly, so they quickly woke up and got prepared.

  Hearing the footsteps outside, Jian Qi raised an eyebrow before whispering, “There’s five of them.”


  The freshman peeked outside the door before nodding at the three of them. “All five of them are veterans.”


  Everyone became silent after that.

  After a moment, the other rookie spoke, “Do we fight or do we hide?”


  That was a good question!

  The veterans were strong and experienced in fighting, and they had more people on their side too, so it was a great challenge.

  Meanwhile, in the surveillance room, Lightning said, “Boss, is this team going to be okay?”


  “Yeah, wouldn’t Big Sister Qi’s team get eliminated on the spot?” Crocodile spoke too. “This time around, the freshmen are probably all going to be eliminated.”


  Feng Yi was very worried! His goddess could not get eliminated just like that!

  Tang Jinyu looked at the footage on the monitors before turning his head and asking his subordinate, “How many people are left?”


  “There are six freshmen and fifteen veterans left, twenty one in total.”


  Tang Jinyu glanced at the monitors again before walking over. “Connect me with Li Yibo.”
