Chapter 87: 087 The Fate of the Traitor

Drill field.

The mutual mistrust between Louise Carter and Lance Yuri led the team to the brink of dissolution. Meanwhile, Ji You and four unreliable teammates occasionally took advantage of small team activities to stir up trouble. Finally, the ever-contemplative Shen Changqing decided to dispatch the first team to ambush Lance Yuri halfway, shrouding the entire drill field in gun smoke...

The first team sent by Shen Changqing managed to kill four of Lance’s close aides and additionally, ten A-class fighters, but Lance narrowly escaped.

As soon as Lance returned, he encountered Louise Carter and immediately burst with fury, engaging in a direct fight. Both S-class fighters, their battle was sensation, nearly overturning the team’s temporary base.

Members of each party rushed to pull them apart, but disagreement sparked, and both sides started fighting.

Once the fight broke out, it couldn’t be stopped. The conflict escalated, turning from a quest for explanation to a life-and-death struggle between each other.

"Beep—"

"Death."

"Beep—"

"Death."

...

The system kept announcing notifications like poking a wasp’s nest. Seeing that most of the deceased were his men, Lance was furiously livid: "Louise, don’t you overdo it! Just because you have more people now, do you think I can’t deal with you?"

Even Louise felt wronged. Lance, for no apparent reason, questioning him and starting a fight without distinguishing right from wrong—who the hell can tolerate that?

In any case, Louise couldn’t stomach this humiliation!

Since an alliance was impossible, they might as well part ways, but Lance’s infuriating stupidity, blatantly killing several of Louise’s people right in front of him, set Louise off, and they immediately engaged in a fight to the death.

When leaders are enraged, their subordinates follow suit.

As a result—

The base became a complete chaos.

"They’re... fighting?"

"Really... fighting?"

"Then... what should I do?" Everything developed so quickly and unexpectedly that No. 1888, Zhang Ye, was stunned speechless until his shoulder crackled, nearly dislocating. Frightened by the sudden pain and noticing 20% depletion in his health bar.

He felt incredibly anxious.

Necessarily, this place wasn’t safe to stay much longer.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Ye rolled out of the chaotic scene and when he looked up, noticed another boy by his side who, seemingly with the same idea, was also planning to escape amidst the chaos; they belonged to opposing camps but simultaneously, upon seeing each other, Zhang Ye hurriedly grabbed a stick, squeezing out a smile: "Classmate, wanna have a fight?"

The boy glanced at him sideways, said nothing, and ran away.

Zhang Ye: "..."

Watching the direction in which the other boy was heading, Zhang Ye even wondered if that person could be a traitor, like himself.

But—

He was compelled.

He never intended to be a traitor.

Sigh~

Zhang Ye looked back at the fiercely raging base, hesitated repeatedly, but still didn’t dare go back to help.

Forget it.

If he must be a traitor, so be it.

The drill field didn’t stipulate that one couldn’t be a traitor, right?

Hmm?

Why was he using the shameless words of that No. 4444 Ji You?

Zhang Ye shook his head, accelerating his escape.

Just when he thought he was safe, he bumped into a boy he had met briefly at the base, who seemed to be in trouble, surrounded by a few people apparently inquiring about something.

Stretching his neck to see better, Zhang Ye got so scared that he immediately turned and ran.

Just as he turned around, he encountered the meaningful gaze of No. 4444.

Zhang Ye: "..."

Ji You: "... Classmate, you’re really unlucky."

Zhang Ye: "... Can you stop catching me all the time?"

Ji You, smiling: "You’re just less fortunate."

Zhang Ye: "..."

Resigned, Zhang Ye was seized by Yue Qiguang and taken away for interrogation. It was then that Zhang Ye realized that the other unlucky fellow being interrogated with him was indeed a traitor - though he was a traitor sent by the weak number 4444, while the authentic one was sent by Shen Changqing.

The stakes were not the same.

After the interrogation, the boy thought he would be killed, but Ji You patted his head and said, "Leave the supplies, you can go."

Boy: "???"

Ji You: "3 seconds!"

The boy took off running, disappearing in an instant.

Ji You turned to number 1888, Zhang Ye, smiling: "Your turn."

Zhang Ye: "I’ve already confessed everything, haven’t I? Hey, hey, hey... can’t you be less cruel? I only have one nutrient solution—can’t you let me keep it to survive until tomorrow?"

Ji You: "Leave the supplies."

Zhang Ye had no choice, and right as he took out the only nutrient solution from his pocket, a flash of White Light passed by, and he saw his health bar instantly drop to zero: "What the f***!!!"

He died?

Died?

Died?

Died?

Zhang Ye was incredulous, glaring at the one who killed him, Yue Qiguang, and then glaring at number 4444: "???"

There was a flicker of mercy in Ji You’s eyes as she said, "Stop glaring, rest in peace."

Zhang Ye: "Why?"

Ji You sighed, "The fate of a traitor."

Zhang Ye: "!!!"

Not reconciled, he asked again, "Why didn’t that traitor from before have to die, but I did?"

Ji You looked at him with a hint of sympathy, "He’s still useful; you’re not."

Zhang Ye: "..."

I die with my eyes open!

"Ahh~"

Ji You watched as Zhang Ye’s ’corpse’ was dragged away by a robot, shaking her head: "Another pitiful, tragic soul."

Yue Qiguang, having snatched 1 point from Yue Qiyuan, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan, was both happy and smug, laughing loudly: "Daddy’s points finally broke 200." Turning to Ji You, he said, "Idiot, stop dawdling, tell us what to do next?"

Lou and Lance were in-fighting, each losing countless men. Shen Changqing quietly joined the fray to encircle and ambush Lou and Lance, while other small groups were being slaughtered and fled all over the place... The entire training ground was turned upside down.

How chaotic it was!

Ji You touched her chin, falling silent for a moment.

Just as she speculated, Shen Changqing outwardly appeared to reach an agreement with Lou and Lance to eliminate small forces, but what Shen Changqing truly cared about, feared, and wanted to eliminate most were the 500-person teams of Lou and Lance.

The boy they’d just interrogated had been an early plant by Shen Changqing into the teams of Lou and Lance. When the two leaders clashed, this boy and a few other plants fanned the flames, causing the skirmish to escalate uncontrollably.

However, the others were not as lucky as this boy; amidst the chaos, they were accidentally killed.

The boy managed to escape, only to be captured by Ji You and the others.

According to Ji You’s plan, after this boy returned to Shen Changqing, he would surely recount everything that had happened.

Yue Qiguang was dissatisfied, saying: "Why didn’t you let me kill that guy earlier?" He let slip 1 point.
