Chapter 141: Chapter 74 Stalemate (Second Update)

Gu Xiaoxi thought about the things she had done and couldn’t help feeling a shiver of disgust.

If she got caught by Zhao Zilong, wouldn’t he tear her into pieces.

Gu Xiaoxi took a breath and without hesitation jumped into the seawater, swimming toward the distant small island.

An hour and a half later, she dragged her heavy backpack, slowly walking toward the golden beach on the edge of the island, soaked through, with her helmet buckled down on her head, exceptionally heavy.

At that time, Gu Xiaoxi lifted her head to look at the island and took a long breath.

The island in front of her, from a distance, looked like a flat boat floating atop the island, but up close, it was a vast expanse with towering trees everywhere and many crabs, shells, and conches along the coast.

At that moment, under the scorching sun, Gu Xiaoxi found a forest to rest for a bit.

In such a large place, searching for a team of people was no easy task.

Gu Xiaoxi sat cross-legged to regulate her breathing for a moment.

Only when her mental state was adjusted to its best did she pick up her pack again and start heading deeper into the mountains.

Her style of doing things had always been cautious, avoiding poisonous snakes and wild lizards on the island, all while not alerting any animals.

Through her binoculars, she spotted a military site with tents, where six people were on guard.

At that moment, Gu Xiaoxi was certain that this was the ultimate mission point.

If she could just take out the six people in front of her, she would save the hostages, and the exercise could end ahead of schedule. Zhao Zilong would be powerless to catch her.

Gu Xiaoxi lay in the bushes, aiming her gun at the helmets of the six, calculating how to take them out up close effectively and keep herself safe.

Zhu Zheng was the leader of the six, looking out at the distant coast and sighing, "Who knows who will make it to this ultimate mission."

"This type of exercise was designed by the retired old commander. To this day, no more than three have completed the mission, and they were not always the top marksman of the squad. It would be normal for no one to reach this point," another soldier interjected.

Listening, Gu Xiaoxi’s mouth curled into a smile. She loved challenges like this.

A moment later, her gun was aimed at Zhu Zheng, a sly glint in her eyes.

She was ready to pull the trigger when Zhu Zheng suddenly turned his head and called out, "Who!"

Because he had seen the flash of light from the reflection mirror.

Gu Xiaoxi knew her surprise attack had failed and immediately moved to a different hiding place.

She had just left that patch of grass when a burst of intense gunfire sprayed up the ground where she had been lying.

Gu Xiaoxi, realizing what happened after the fact, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead; these men were indeed not to be underestimated, their reactions so swift. If she hadn’t hidden fast, she would have likely been killed by their shots.

Gu Xiaoxi adjusted her Inner Strength to its peak. Then she sprinted through the forest, dodging bullets.

Zhu Zheng immediately led four men into the forest, chasing after Gu Xiaoxi.

In an instant, both sides engaged in a chase.

Gu Xiaoxi ran frantically, soon drawing the four men deeper into the dense forest, and then ambushed them again.

This time, perhaps unsettled by the prior chase, Zhu Zheng’s three subordinates lost their composure and were all killed by Gu Xiaoxi’s rapid shifts and shots.

Only Zhu Zheng was left.

Gu Xiaoxi had sparred with him before and knew a thing or two about his capabilities. Besides, his marksmanship was among the best in the squad, having participated in even harsher military exercises and training. So Zhu Zheng’s reaction speed was particularly fast; as soon as Gu Xiaoxi took aim at him, he was able to quickly locate her position.

At that moment, the two were at a stalemate.
