Chapter 622 She Is Relying More And More On Him
However, when she thought about it, she realized that he did bring her here to experience something new. After all, he did not have to come along and suffer through this with her. Although she did not know what she could do with her newfound knowledge, she still thought that being stranded in a tired and miserable state while enduring such hardships made her emotions surge. She felt the passion and excitement that she had never felt before.
She smiled once more, and Sean smiled with her.
He could not deny the fact that her emotions had a fatal influence on him.
Eli mouthed the words, “I’m hungry.”
“You could take a bite, just remember to keep your head down,” Sean said. He then stood up and went out.
Eli did not know where he was going. She wanted to stop him, but when she heard gunshots from a distance away, she quickly lowered her head.
Sean said that she could eat, but she had to keep her head down and do it silently. Dying of hunger was a bigger deal to her than being eliminated from the training. After all, hunger was suffering, but being eliminated might even be a relief for her.
She fumbled around for the bread in her bag, and then nibbled on it silently.
Sean had already climbed up a tree not far away from her, scouting their surrounding area.
Eli hid in a very good spot. The bushes around were full of thorns. They were thick enough to block bullets as well as keep her hidden from sight. Furthermore, he had placed some stakes in front of the bushes. This meant that whoever wanted to ‘kill’ Eli had to get closer to her.
Eli was hungry. If she made any sound, the others would definitely be wary of her whereabouts, but they would not be able to anything about it. After all, she had a shield, and whenever she lay prone on the ground, no one would be able to shoot her.
However, there would definitely be people who would take the risk to attack her from close range. That was why Sean had hidden in an area close to her, to attack those people who were willing to give up their lives to attack her.
As expected, Sean saw someone coming at her, as sly as a fox. He fired a shot, and smoke rose from the man’s head.
When the others realized that there was an ambush, they immediately lay on the ground, and Sean saw all of that too. He smiled and fired another shot.
Everyone knew that it was a trap, so they dared not move forward. Eli, who was treated as a bait for the prey, did not know what was happening at all. She just lowered her head and ate the delicious food.
Sean glanced around and vaguely saw a few exposed targets. He fired, and more smoke emerged. However, his position was soon revealed. He jumped down instinctively from the tree and rolled into the bushes.
Eli looked at him and asked, “What’s the situation?”
Sean reloaded the simulated bullets and explained, “One of our teammates has been eliminated so there are only nine of us left. Three of your allies are eliminated, so there are seven of them left. Team 3 has five men left, whilst among the five which Team 17 has dispatched, four of them have left, leaving the last one surviving.”
“How do you know which group they belong to?” Eli asked in surprise.
“They have labels on their heads. It is also differentiated by color, as a mark of their respective teams.”
Eli suddenly understood everything. She was wondering how they knew who belonged to what group when all of them wore the same clothes with the same color. It now made sense since the color of their hats were different, “Which group are we?”
“The last team, Team 27. Red, yellow, blue, dark green, green, purple, black, white, grey. These colors are assigned based on the ascending order of 1 to 9. Our hats have the colors yellow and black,” Sean explained to her.
Eli stared at Sean’s hat.
Sean tapped her forehead. “My hat belongs to the leader of Team 1, so it only has one color on it, which is read. It’s displayed up here.”
Eli saw the mark and understood. She said, “You said that Team 17 has dispatched five people. Where did the other five go?”
“I don’t know. Other than these groups, there are also Team 19, Team 23, and Team 25 here.”
Eli said as she counted her fingers, “So that means that there are seven groups and seventy people here. Does that mean that we have a chance to get all the flags?”
“It’s not that easy. We are in a deadlock now. I’ve got only the flag of Team 3.”
Eli was surprised, “How did you manage to get their flag?”
“The Commander of Team 3 was eliminated yesterday. Their team members wanted to get their flag back, but I got hold of it first,” Sean told her.
Eli remembered. He had gone out alone yesterday. It turned out that he had gone to take the flag.
“So, those who were already eliminated are still lying on the floor and not moving because they may have a flag on them, and they are trying to confuse others, right?”
Sean nodded. “More or less.”
She continued to ask, “When will they be able to leave then? I mean those eliminated ones.”
Sean looked at her with a deep look and said, “They may leave after the battle is over.”
At this moment, the siren outside started ringing loudly.
Eli was confused, “What’s that?”
“Restock,” Sean replied with a single word.
As soon as Sean said that, he heard Aldred’s voice coming from a drone.
“The supplies are in place, the supplies are in place. On the uninhabited island, at coordinates 12’35, 23’35, and 47’62. Please pay attention. The supplies are in place, the supplies are in place. On the uninhabited island, at coordinates 12’35, 23’35, and 47’62.”
Eli looked at Sean, “Do you know how to get there?”
Sean took out the compass from his bag. The compass was special, It told them the longitude and latitude of the island, instead of the Earth’s. Simply speaking, they had simulated the island into a sphere and marked its position.
“Do the supplies contain food?” Eli asked.
“That’s not all. There are food, drinks, bullets, smoke bombs, and so on,” Sean explained.
“Should we go and get it then?”
“There will surely be a fierce battle if we head over there. However, we won’t have enough bullets if we don’t. As of now, we are at the center of a battle, and no one would dare act rashly,” Sean analyzed clearly.
“So, in my opinion, luck is essential whether it is training or real combat. If there is food nearby right now, I would be the first to rush there for it. Also, we could design traps so that we wouldn’t have to be in a deadlock like we are right now,” Eli sighed.
“Yes, luck is not something that we could achieve easily. The only thing we could improve is strength. Stay here and don’t move. I will go out and get food for you,” Sean said in a low voice.
Eli felt a little scared when she saw that Sean was about to leave, “Didn’t you say that I must never stay more than a meter away from you? You are making things difficult for me.”
Sean smiled, “Should I accompany you, or should I go and get you something to eat?”
“I’m just curious, maybe some other teams have already gotten the map. After all, a night has already passed. Do we still need to continue the training?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“If the five teams have already secured the flags, we will still lose if we continue to fight. After all, only five teams will prevail. So, there’s no need for that.”
“But wouldn’t we know if they have won?” Eli was worried.
“They will report it, and we will be able to know.”
At this moment, the siren rang once more…
