Chen Yifan frowned when he saw the forest. This was the easiest place to set up an ambush. He wondered if the veterans from 250 Ace Mecha Clan would set up such a trap.
Their leader, Guo Rongqi, was a careful person. When he saw the forest, he quickly stopped them.
"What's wrong?" Someone asked.
"This forest is very dense. It's dark inside. If the higher-ups of 250 Ace Mecha Clan wanted to test us, they might have set up an ambush here." Guo Rongqi expressed his opinion.
"We're only one-eighth of the way there. Even if they wanted to test us, they wouldn't do it so early." Someone gave a different opinion.
"Yes. Shouldn't they let us exhaust our energy and set up an ambush in the second half of the journey?" They were exhausted but it wasn't serious. Even if the higher-ups of 250 Ace Mecha Clan wanted to test them, they wouldn't set up an ambush at this time.
Most of the 50 people didn't agree with Guo Rongqi's opinion. Guo Rongqi started to waver too. He wondered if he was being too careful.
Chen Yifan hid at the back and didn't say anything. What everyone said made sense but his instincts told him that there was danger in this forest. However, he knew that even if he said that there was something wrong with this forest, no one would believe him. After all, it was hard to trust someone's instincts.
No one wanted to waste their time in this forest. The time they took to complete one-eighth of the journey was enough to prove that Guo Rongqi was right. If they wanted to reach their destination in two hours, they would need to rush. This was why they valued their time. They were afraid that they would waste too much time here.
At this moment, a recruit gave his opinion. Almost everyone agreed with him. The recruit felt that this was an illusion created by the senior officers of 250 Ace Mecha Clan. It was a trap. They wanted them to be suspicious and think that there was an ambush here so that they would slow down their speed. That way, they might not be able to reach their destination in time during the second half of the journey and all their efforts would be in vain.
Only Chen Yifan didn't agree with this opinion. He trusted his instincts. His instincts had helped him avoid many dangers. However, Chen Yifan did not object. Although he had formed a temporary team with these people, Chen Yifan had the intention of letting them scout ahead. Even if there was an ambush, he believed that he could bring his younger brother out of this place with his ability.
Just like that, Chen Yifan, Chen Yi 'an, and his friend, Zhou Yu, followed the crowd into the forest.
The forest was very quiet. Other than the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind and their footsteps, there were no other sounds. Chen Yifan looked like he was defenseless but in fact, he was already on his guard. If there was any movement, he would be able to counterattack instantly.
Xie Yi stood among the dense leaves on the treetop. His entire body swayed along with the swaying of the leaves. It was as if he had become one of the leaves on the tree and had become one with the tree. His team members were already hiding in the trees or in the thick grass, waiting for him to give the order.
"1, 2, 3 … 47, 48 … eh?" When Xie Yi counted to the last few people, Chen Yifan's figure appeared in front of his eyes. Xie Yi was surprised.
"Wait, why does this person look so familiar? Let me think about where I've seen him before … "Xie Yi touched his forehead with his finger and searched his memory for the familiar figure in front of him.
"At the start of this year's Grand Mecha Tournament, our opponent was the ace mecha master from the Third Men's Military Academy, Chen Yifan. Damn it, why is he here?" Xie Yi looked at Chen Yifan in shock. He didn't understand why this person was among the logisticians recruited by 250 Ace Mecha Clan.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. He is just a private now. This is interesting." The corners of Xie Yi's mouth curled into a playful smile, but he soon frowned again. "However, with him around, it will be difficult for me to take care of these people by surprise. If I'm not careful, I might even alert the large group of people behind me …"
Xie Yi thought for a while and made a decision. He asked his team members to not make any moves and let these 50 people go. His team members were not easy to deal with and there was an ambush behind them. His team members must be interested in Chen Yifan.
Of course, Xie Yi would never admit that he let Chen Yifan go because he wanted his team members to have a taste of their own medicine.
The 50 people walked out of the forest smoothly. This made the recruit who suggested that these 50 people were a decoy feel proud. At this time, the atmosphere of the whole team quietly changed. Those who had some trust in Guo Rongqi began to doubt his abilities. Many people thought that Guo Qirong was careful but indecisive, not bold and decisive enough, and was not a very good leader. Many leaders started to appear in the team. Gradually, the team became unstable.
Chen Yifan turned around and looked at the quiet forest. He was puzzled. He felt like he was being watched by someone when he was in the forest. He was secretly on his guard. He thought that they would be ambushed but he didn't expect that they would be able to walk out of the forest safely. What was the reason for the other party to let them go?
Could it be that the 50 of them were too few, so they set their sights on the 200 people behind them? Was that why they let them go? If that was the case, they were right to leave earlier. Chen Yifan could only use this to explain why they were able to walk out of the forest safely.
Chen Yifan didn't expect that his old rival, the First Men's Military Academy, would be in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Thus, he exposed himself the moment he entered 250 Ace Mecha Clan. In order to make their ambush more effective, they decisively let them go. It should be said that they relied on Chen Yifan to walk out of the forest safely.
Unfortunately, Chen Yifan didn't know this. He could only walk on with a confused look on his face.
Soon, Chen Yifan and his team left the forest. 10 minutes later, a large team appeared. When these people saw that the first team was able to walk through the forest safely, they didn't hesitate and rushed into the forest.
At that moment, they felt that time was tight so they started to walk faster. At the start, they didn't rush so they wasted some time. If they didn't catch up, they wouldn't be able to reach their destination in 2 hours.
They were focused on their journey so they didn't notice the situation in the forest. Xie Yi waited for the most people to walk into their ambush area before she gave the order to attack. The team members, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, were like ferocious tigers descending from the mountains. One after another, they pounced on the unprepared recruits from their hiding spots.
The recruits were shocked by the sudden attack. Even though there were more than 10 of them, they didn't think that they would work together to fight back. Instead, they screamed in pain and ran away in all directions. The recruits had the advantage in numbers but in the end, almost 70 of them were killed by Xie Yi's team. Almost everyone had taken care of three recruits.
However, there were still some recruits who fought back. There was a team of recruits who were attacked by an experienced team member. After losing one of their members, they quickly calmed down and fought back together. They resisted the attacks of the experienced team member for three minutes. The old team member felt satisfied. He laughed and retreated quickly, leaving the new recruits confused. They didn't know what the other party's goal was for this ambush.
It had to be said that after a period of chaos, most of the recruits still managed to pass through Xie Yi's blockade.
At that moment, the last batch of recruits reached the forest. They heard the screams coming from the depths of the forest and knew that there was an ambush in the forest.
After some consideration, these people didn't enter the forest. Instead, they chose to take a detour. In Xie Yi's eyes, this was a suicidal move.
They were already slower than the two teams in front of them. If they took a detour, they would waste even more time. Unless they wanted to take the shortcut that was marked as a dangerous area on the map, they would definitely not be able to reach their destination in time if they went back to the original route.
'Want to take a shortcut?' Xie Yi felt his teeth ache. That dangerous zone was where Chang Xinyuan and Li Shiyu conducted their experiments. No one knew when they would step on their test subjects … No matter whose test subjects they stepped on, that feeling would be unforgettable for the rest of their lives. Also, the lazy Luo Lang seemed to have led his team there. The reason was that he didn't like these logisticians. Instead of wasting time on these people, he would rather take his team to the dangerous area and challenge it.
Now, in 250 Ace Mecha Clan, there were two things that all the mecha operators feared. However, they had to challenge them. One was their boss's hellish monthly training. The other was the dangerous area that they had to challenge every month.
In order to increase the difficulty of the challenge, Chang Xinyuan and Li Shiyu put in a lot of effort. They came up with all kinds of terrifying agents, weapons, and mechanisms that they could think of. They even came up with a joint product. This made the experimental area a forbidden area in 250 Ace Mecha Clan. Usually, no one would want to go there to look for trouble.
"Alright, good luck to them." Xie Yi looked at the new recruits who took a detour. He sincerely drew a cross in front of his chest. Then, he took his team's spoils of war and left quietly.
At that moment, a river appeared in front of Chen Yifan and his team. The river wasn't very wide. It was only around 10 meters wide. This distance wasn't difficult for people who had reached refinement. They just needed to run up and they could fly across the river. Those who had reached Qi-Jin could even bring people across the river. Chen Yifan was a Qi-Jin master so it wasn't difficult for him to bring Chen Yi 'an across the river.
However, for these normal logisticians who had only reached the basic manifestation stage, this distance was difficult for them. Unless they found a spot to borrow, they wouldn't be able to cross the river.
Of course, they could also choose to swim across the river. However, no one dared to enter the river without knowing the situation. No one knew what was below.
