Because those marked red could not speak, Ryan nodded helplessly. He didn't run into Shadow X in the combat tournament, but he didn't expect to be marked red by Shadow X in the integrated warfare contest. This could be considered as a lack of skill.
"You really are a genius."
At the same time, there were two other people not far away from them. They separated after communicating with hand gestures. One of them would approach Silin, and the other would enter the lake while his comrade was holding Silin back to snatch the energy blocks.
In reality, the five parties had been rather peaceful for the few days after the red marked battle. They only searched for the nearby energy blocks and did not attack the other teams.
"Could it be inside the lake?" Lung pointed at the lake and said. Lung believed in Silin's calculation ability, but the detector could not detect the energy blocks. It was possible that they had used some other protection, or it was inside the lake. There was no way they could completely isolate the energy reaction. If that was the case, they might as well not bury it.
"Alright, be careful." Celine seemed to be implying something. When she received the detector, she made a secret gesture.
Ignoring Ryan and Bonn, Silin Helong left the place and sent an encrypted message to Pride, asking him to come over and take the energy blocks.
"Sigh, if only I had laxatives. I can sprinkle them down and dissolve them in their lake. Then we can just wait for them to have diarrhea to the point where their vision is blurry and capture them all in one fell swoop and snatch their energy blocks!" Lung was getting a little tired of this game of searching for energy blocks.
He finally understood that Silin's goal was to force him to the trap he had set up! He didn't know how the rest of the team would react if they found out that he was marked red by Shadow X.
"What?!" Ryan was truly shocked this time. He was so excited that he cried out directly.
Cillin marked out the locations of the energy blocks he had found in his mind. Some of them belonged to Seven Lights, and some of them were found by other teams that they knew of. From these burial spots, he could tell what kind of thoughts the person who buried the energy blocks had, and he could speculate the possible burial spots based on this train of thought. Otherwise, it would be a waste of too much time to continue searching blindly like this. Although it was just a game, this was Silin's last Academy game after all. He would probably never experience it again in the future.
In truth, Silin had not been hoping that these traps made of vines would be able to trap these people from the military academy. He was only using these traps to distract these people. To these people from the military academies, traps like this were fine for catching rabbits, but it was impossible for them to catch their feet. However, it was precisely because they felt that it was impossible that they neglected the extremely short and fatal pause that these things gave them at critical moments.
Silin did not adopt a defensive stance. Instead, he used the cover of the forest to force his way towards the man.
Up until yesterday, every team had found two energy blocks, but early this morning, Knight's team had found another one. Hence, Lung was clamoring to find one as well. He couldn't be outdone by Knight. As for the integrated warfare, that was all Long was interested in.
"Understood!"
Silin also recognized Bonn. He had seen the name list of the participants in the integrated warfare contest and remembered their faces.
Seven Lights' goal was only fifth place in the first place. Judging from the current situation, Seven Lights only needed to dawdle around while the four military academies fought for the top four spots. The remaining energy blocks were more than enough for them to wreak havoc. However, Gerrard was a little dissatisfied. Maybe those guys would give everyone a surprise?
Seven Lights had already found seven energy blocks, but they had used up one of their daily energy consumption. This meant that they still had more than four energy blocks to find. After kicking out five teams, the search for energy blocks became much easier.
Silin nodded, pointed a direction, and walked towards it with Lung. However, there was still no response from the detector even after half a day had passed. There were no mountains around them. It was flat ground, and there was a lake in front of them.
After the red marking battle on the second day, half of the ten teams had been kicked out.
"Lung."
Since he was marked red, the man immediately lay down on the ground and made a 'strong' gesture at Silin.
Lung sat down against a tree and pulled at the leaves beside him in boredom. Not far away, Silin closed his eyes and pondered.
The man was a little anxious. He knew that Silin was Shadow X, but he didn't expect Silin to approach him so quickly. Moreover, Silin had basically dodged the moment he was about to shoot, as if he could predict it. He knew that Silin was pressing towards him, but he couldn't stop him. The man could only retreat one step at a time.
If a bullet could penetrate a tree trunk, it would definitely hit Silin. However, although the guns distributed by the camp were almost as fast as real guns, it was difficult enough to kill a person, much less penetrate a tree trunk. Silin used this to his advantage and swiftly closed in on the newcomer.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The bullets hit the trees that Silin passed by in a flash, but they didn't touch Silin at all.
When he saw Silin open his eyes, Lung perked up, "Are you done calculating?"
Twisting his neck, Lung took off his jacket, accepted the detector in Silin's hand and jumped into the lake. Not long after, he popped his head out and said excitedly, "There's a reaction, and there are two of them!"
Silin's hands weren't idle while he was closing in. Bullets flew towards the man at tricky angles, but the man was an experienced man. He was able to dodge the bullets while retreating into the forest.
Suddenly, there was a thud. Lung was holding two energy blocks tied together with rope in one hand, and the unconscious man in the other.
Lung tossed Bonn to the side and smiled until his eyes were slits. "Now we've found four blocks, one more than Knight and the others. Let's see how that punk can still show off in front of this young master!"
The six people on patrol were divided into three groups. Lung and Silin were in one group, Knight and Copley were in another, and Sird and Hard were in another. Pride was in charge of flying the plane between the three groups and the stronghold to deliver supplies. If they found any energy blocks, Pride would send them to the stronghold to prevent the people from the military academies from snatching them away.
Before the man closing in on Silin could make a move, Silin turned around and fired a shot. He then quickly left the lakeside and hid in the forest to find cover. The man's gun should have been fitted with a silencer, but Silin didn't have one now. This shot told Lung under the lake that someone was coming. He had sensed someone nearby earlier, so he made a hand signal to tell Lung to be careful.
Silin walked up to the man and looked. "The Second Military Academy, Ryan?"
However, energy blocks were harder to find as the tournament progressed. In previous tournaments, it would take around ten days just to find energy blocks. Sometimes, one or two days would go by without any results.
Ryan's expression changed when he saw the man Lung was carrying. His gaze was complicated. The Second Military Academy might still be left behind this time. Even Bonn had been marked red. The rest of them wouldn't be able to hold on for long. Andriera Lung was much stronger than they had imagined.
Marked red!
That said, Lung dove back into the lake.
"Hm?"
Lung tossed the detector to Silin. "You don't need to go down. I can handle it myself!"
"Sorry to send you out. Also …" Silin pointed in the direction of the lake. "Your partner was also sent out."
