Chapter 1061: Fighting for Power Control
Meng Qi had been silent the whole time. He had been observing. He was disinterested in their tactics. He could only see the prey. It was also the first time that he had noticed signs of Shen Qianshu.
“Meng Qi, why are you glaring at the subway entrance? They’re in the mountains.”
Meng Qi said,” They will head towards the abandoned city.”
“So many people have been lost. Xue Er should indeed rethink her plans. If things keep messing up because of them, Shen Qianshu will definitely win.”
Now, the odds of her winning still were not that high.
At least, the people with important strength were still in.
The ones who died were the ones who were not powerful enough.
Shen Qianshu ripped open a packet of compressed biscuits and consumed it all with water. She did not mind much. Her body was dripping with sweat, and it occasionally dripped onto her lips. It was really salty.
Shen Qianshu said, “Have you spotted Meng Qi’s location?”
Monica shook her head. Maxi was being her observer and observing the surroundings for her. Shen Qianshu tore a piece of chocolate out and passed it to Monica to replenish her sugar levels. Suddenly, she thought of a question. “How long is the selection test?”
Maxi said, “I don’t know. If only one person remains alive, it’s the end.”
“What if everyone hides and no one shows themselves? Do we just keep waiting until the resources get drained out?”
Monica was startled.
Resources get drained out?
She had a sudden premonition.
Things at the girls’ team were chaotic. In just half a day, many of them died from the chasing and killing. They were badly affected. Everyone was blaming Xue Er for her lousy commands. Xue Er was livid.
They blamed her commands just because they were incapable.
But she could not say it. If she were to say that, the group of girls would not listen to her commands anymore.
Meng Qi’s voice was heard through the microphone.
“I have a plan. You guys can listen up.”
The chaotic group of girls quietened down.
“Say it!”
Meng Qi said, “Guard all the subway exits. They are just in the mountains. We can run over and surround them. Have a group of people at every high ground. We will take care of each other and help each other. If the enemy doesn’t take action, neither do we. We just have to hide and not let them find us.”
Xue Er said, “What do you mean? Testing our endurance?”
Meng Qi said, “Testing endurance? You seem to be kidding. The three of them have limited resources while we have a lot with us. There are a lot of resources in the city while there’s only a river in the woods. As long as we are at the high ground and we aim at the river, they are bound to run out of resources sooner or later.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Right, they have a lot of bullets in their backpacks but not much food. They will eventually run out of food. As long as we ambush them by the river, all will be good.”
“A group of us can ambush her from the aquatic plants. We will use the same trick that Shen Qianshu used on us.”
“Right. How smart.”
“Meng Qi is really so clever. You should have been our leader all this while.”
Xue Er was mad, but she could not do anything about it. She could only follow Meng Qi’s suggestion. This was a stupid idea, but it was an effective one. They could survive three days without food but definitely not without water.
“Come on, let’s reform our teams.”
Xue Er’s team and the guys’ team did a head count. The number of people alive in both teams were actually about the same. They reformed their groups based on their abilities.
It was really hot in the woods.
Monica observed for a while and changed spots with Maxi to hold the sniper rifle. Monica was now the observer while Shen Qianshu protected them. After eating the packet of compressed biscuits, Shen Qianshu felt a little better.
