At the same time, the two members of the Blue team who had been walking for a while finally spotted a vehicle. Knowing that Blue Three and another comrade were already out of the game, they decided to commandeer the car.
Although Blue Three was "dead," he couldn't help but offer a sincere warning to the two approaching the vehicle: "You plan to use this car? Be careful if you do."
One of them immediately retorted, "We've trekked over ten kilometers of mountain trails and finally found a car. Besides, you're both out of the game. We're requisitioning this car fair and square, what's there to be careful about?"
With that, the two jumped into the car.
Blue Three, standing outside, looked at the two inside and warned again, "I told you to be careful!"
The two in the car paid no attention. They twisted the key and started the engine.
As soon as it started, blue smoke rose from their bodies. The bait mines had been triggered.
"Hahaha, I told you to be careful! Get out of the car, what are you still doing there? Nothing more for you to do, just wait for the cleanup crew," Blue Three laughed heartily from the side.
The two in the car exchanged glances before getting out and walking towards Blue Three.
A smiling Blue Three looked at the two approaching him and produced a deck of playing cards from his pocket. "Now that we're all here, let's play Dou Dizhu!"
The other three exchanged glances, found a shady spot under a tree, and sat down to play cards. After all, they were all "dead" now and, according to the exercise rules, could no longer move.
In the mountain forest, Xu Tianlong and Wang Yanbing's group, after searching for a while and finding no activity, regrouped.
Xu Tianlong had witnessed the elimination of the other two hunters through his binoculars.
"Well, we've lost two more. It's eleven to two now," Xu Tianlong said with a sigh, observing through his binoculars.
Song Kaifei took the binoculars, took a look, and declared, "My idol is amazing. Their skills are top-notch!"
"No matter how powerful the enemy, we will eliminate them!" He Chenguang, who had been silent, said with determination.
This was the situation on their side. On the other side, Qin Feng and Li Erniu were still trekking through the dense mountains.
They had just passed through an area with landmines, and Qin Feng, instead of disarming them, led Erniu carefully through.
The reason Qin Feng didn't disarm them was that he felt these mines could be used to blow up other hunters.
Moreover, it was obvious that these mines had been laid by other hunters who had passed by.
After a while, they arrived at a dilapidated factory. As they neared the entrance, Qin Feng quickly stopped Li Erniu and gestured with his hands, signaling that there were people here and to be cautious.
Li Erniu immediately became vigilant. As soon as they entered, they both hid behind stone pillars.
Qin Feng observed through his sniper scope and then took a silencer from his backpack, signaling Li Erniu to attach one to his rifle as well.
Upon seeing this, Li Erniu nodded and quickly took out a silencer to attach to his sniper rifle.
After attaching it, Erniu looked around, saw no signs of activity, and then, remembering Qin Feng's earlier gesture, asked in a low voice, slightly confused, "Qin Feng, are you sure there's a sniper up there?"
"It's an advantageous high ground, and an excellent sniper position," Qin Feng replied. "If it were me, I'd seize it immediately. Keep an eye on your surroundings, I'll conduct a reconnaissance by fire."
Li Erniu nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "Understood!"
With that, Qin Feng chambered a round, while Li Erniu began to meticulously scan the surrounding area with his binoculars.
Qin Feng aimed his sniper rifle at the high ground on top of the water tower and fired a shot, intending to conduct a reconnaissance.
*Bang! Clack!*
The sound of the sniper rifle's shot and the ejection of the spent casing followed in quick succession.
As expected, blue smoke rose from the vantage point on the water tower. Another Blue team member had been eliminated.
"You hit him! Qin Feng, you're incredible!" Li Erniu, who had also witnessed this through his binoculars, shouted happily.
"Don't celebrate too early. Keep looking for their spotters."
Li Erniu picked up his binoculars and continued searching for targets. After a moment, he spotted an enemy.
"Target acquired, twelve o'clock direction, mid-section of the chimney, on the platform. He's there," Li Erniu reported quietly and swiftly.
Qin Feng knew the situation was still uncertain and pondered for a moment.
Soon, Qin Feng raised his sniper rifle, exposing his head slightly, and aimed the muzzle at the hunter on the platform in the middle of the chimney.
*Bang!*
After the shot, blue smoke slowly rose from the chimney.
"Target eliminated," Li Erniu, who had been observing with his binoculars, reported immediately. "Qin Feng, can we go in now?"
Qin Feng surveyed the surrounding area and said thoughtfully, "To enter the factory grounds, we must cross the open area in front. If we charge in rashly, we'll be attacked by other sniper teams."
"Then, then what do we do?" Li Erniu asked, confused.
Qin Feng stated plainly, "Wait."
"Wait?"
Qin Feng did not answer Li Erniu's question. He crouched down, his mind racing with strategies.
Seeing this, Li Erniu also crouched down, continuing to remain vigilant and observe the surroundings.
...
At this moment, two female soldiers suddenly appeared in the jungle. These two were Tang Xinyi and Gu Xiaojie.
Tang Xinyi was currently the director of the military region's gaming department. When Qin Feng and his team were engaged in their red and blue confrontation, Fan Tianlei happened to encounter her when he went to report to the higher-ups. Since Fan Tianlei also knew Tang Xinyi and her capabilities, he decisively decided to add some difficulty to Qin Feng's team by letting Tang Xinyi join the game to observe. This might be helpful for their future games.
Tang Xinyi, upon learning the situation, readily agreed.
Therefore, they found themselves here at this moment.
Tang Xinyi and Gu Xiaojie drove as far as they could until the road disappeared, forcing them to proceed on foot. They could no longer take their vehicle further.
After walking for a long time, Gu Xiaojie began to limp. She said helplessly, "Director Tang, can we rest for a moment? I really can't walk anymore."
"We've only walked a few steps!" Tang Xinyi retorted, ignoring her plea.
Gu Xiaojie explained helplessly, "But I studied information engineering at the military academy, not combat command."
Saying this, Gu Xiaojie sat down and took off her shoes, only to discover her soles were bleeding.
Seeing Gu Xiaojie's injured feet, Tang Xinyi felt both worried and chiding. "I don't know what to say about you."
"I'm just curious, how do you have such good stamina to walk such a long distance?" Gu Xiaojie asked, puzzled.
Tang Xinyi replied directly, "Curiosity killed the cat. Don't ask."
Gu Xiaojie put on her shoes and said helplessly, "Such a mysterious woman."
Tang Xinyi suddenly looked up and spotted a jeep in the distance. "There's a car ahead. Hang in there, let's go!"
With that, Tang Xinyi helped Gu Xiaojie up, and they slowly made their way towards the jeep, step by step.
Meanwhile, the four eliminated Blue team members by the jeep were playing Dou Dizhu.
"Two."
"What? Are you crazy?"
"Bomb."
"King bomb."
"Oh no..."
The four played cards, with pieces of paper they'd found stuck to their faces.
Suddenly, Blue Three noticed people approaching them from the opposite direction and immediately stood up, shouting:
"Attention!"
