Chapter 658: Self Reliance

As Li Xueqing ran to keep up, she suddenly heard an exclamation, and she became very excited.

Success! She had fallen into the trap!

At the same time, dark clouds had very quickly gathered in the sky.

Boom!

Accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to exert a great pressure and the surroundings became gloomy.

Li Xueqing felt an indescribable sense of oppression. However, she was extremely happy.

She ran towards the empty space in her memory and saw at once the broken branches that covered it.

It was a deep pit that was specially dug based on Li Beinian’s height. It was more than two meters deep.

Once she had fallen into it, Li Beinian would find it impossible to get out.

And after falling into it, she would be in despair for a few hours.

However, it wouldn’t be long, at most up till evening, before someone would come and rescue her and take her into the mountains.

From then on... it would be almost impossible for Li Beinian to return.

Boom!

The silvery-white lightning tore the dark sky in half.

Large drops of rain fell, beating out a noisy symphony as they splashed against the surrounding trees.

The surroundings did not dampen Li Xueqing’s good mood at all.

She stepped forward excitedly and looked into the pit.

The sensor on her waist started ringing loudly, echoing the ringing of the pager at the bottom of the pit. The sound grew louder and louder.

However, there was no one in the pit.

Li Xueqing was stunned. Just at this point, she felt two areas of warmth on her back.

She shuddered at the sudden warmth.

Before she could react, she felt the force of a strong push.

“Ah!”

Li Xueqing screamed. The next moment, she was suspended in the air and fell heavily without support.

She struggled subconsciously and scraped her palms against the rough sand. A burning sensation shot from her palms through her arms. Immediately after, her feet were plunged into a deep puddle.

Li Xueqing shivered as the cold water surrounded her calf.

She stepped on a thin wire. In a flash, the branches and leaves of the dead tree that were just around the entrance of the hole were pulled and covered the entrance tightly.

Li Xueqing panicked.

A bone-piercing coldness seeped in from under her feet. Li Xueqing looked at her hands that were covered in blood and cried helplessly, “Help... help!”

Her voice began to fade, turning from panicky to frightened, all in a flash.

She looked up and caught a flash of Li Beinian’s face through the gaps of the leaves.

Li Beinian looked indifferently at the deep pit before her that was obscured by a bunch of tree branches. She felt a chill in her heart and was terrified.

Li Xueqing had actually created such a huge trap for her. Furthermore, this hole was so deep that even she would have a hard time getting out.

Li Xueqing was truly frightened now.

She knew better than anyone else that the rain was heavy and the pit was filling up. The surrounding water would pool.

Given this terrain, if the human traffickers didn’t come to get her out...

And given her height, she would probably drown soon!

Li Xueqing was on the verge of breaking down. In all her cleverness, she had not expected that Li Beinian, who was supposed to have fallen in and called for help, would be standing there perfectly unharmed, while she had become a drenched chicken at the bottom of the pit.

Tears streamed down her face as she cried out loudly at Li Beinian. “Nian Nian, Nian Nian, save me! Save me! I will die from the cold!”

After the first scream, the cries became louder. Li Xueqing’s voice was full of panic and regret. “Nian Nian, it’s so cold down there. Can you get me out of here!”

Li Xueqing cried pitifully. She straightened her arms but couldn’t touch the top of the pit.

From Li Beinian’s angle, she could clearly see that her fingertips were less than 20 centimeters away from the hole.

However, this small distance was enough to determine a person’s life and death.

Li Beinian did not forget the fact that this was a pit that Li Xueqing had dug for her.

She was waiting for her to fall into it!

What if she really did?

Would Li Xueqing have saved her?

The obvious answer was no.

Seeing that she was indifferent, Li Xueqing continued to cry loudly. “Nian Nian, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gone against you. I beg you to get me out of here, please just get me out of here. I beg you, I’m so cold. My body is wet and there’s water below. The water is rising past my waist and I’ll drown!”

As soon as Li Xueqing said this, Li Beinian realized that the vibrating sensor on her waist had suddenly gone silent.

She looked down and realized that the mission target had been destroyed.

If Li Beinian wasn’t wrong, the target was under this pit. When the water level reached a certain height and submerged it, the sensor would no longer be able to sense it.

The water was indeed not shallow.

Li Xueqing cried even louder. “Nian Nian, Nian Nian, get me out of here, quick!”

Li Beinian looked at her for a long time before saying unhurriedly, “It’s your own karma.”

She had brought this upon herself.

She didn’t say this loudly, and her voice was drowned in the sound of the rain.

Li Xueqing heard it clearly, however, and turned pale.

Boom!

A loud clap of thunder accompanied a flash of lightning that seemed to cut through everything surrounding them.

Li Xueqing’s eardrums rang with the echo of the thunder.

Li Beinian, on the other hand, was walking further and further away.

Li Xueqing screamed in despair, “Li Beinian! You can’t leave! Li Beinian, save me, please save me, quick!”

Her voice was desolate and her loud cries were quickly obliterated by the sound of the rain. It was completely drowned out, not leaving even an echo.

Li Beinian looked at the sensor on her waist.

There was three and a half hours of countdown left on it.

Squeezing her eyes shut, Li Beinian shook off the thought of Li Xueqing and walked back to where she remembered the alarm had sounded.

The rain was getting heavier and Li Beinian’s collar and sleeves were soaked.

Judging from the situation, Li Xueqing would definitely almost freeze.

In fact, not only almost freeze.

Knowing very well what was going to happen next, Li Xueqing felt extremely pressured.

The ground beneath her feet was becoming increasingly soft as the water level continued to rise.

Soon, it was past her waist. Li Xueqing stopped crying and started cursing loudly. “You deserve to die, bitch! Li Beinian! You bitch, there will be retribution. You will die a horrible death. If I die here, you’re not going to get away with it too!”

The rain continued to pour down. The sand and dried leaves created ravines on the ground and flowed into the deep pit.

Li Xueqing’s cries went unheard in the cold rain. She struggled desperately and shouted, “Help, help me. I don’t want to be sold into the mountains. Save me!”

However, no one heard it.

Li Beinian moved through the terrain sideways, carefully avoiding being detected. Along the way, she picked up a few headcounts.

Even Jiang Chun was killed by her.

He looked indignant, but could only resign himself to fate and walk back to the periphery. Eventually, he even said, “Heroes come from among the youth! Liu Wei is out here still, be careful not to get killed.”

“Got it!”

Li Beinian responded and looked down at the counter on her waist.

An hour had passed.

Li Beinian remained in control and continued walking around.

Liu Wei and Wang Shao were very careful, one guarding the front and the other guarding the back.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t defend against Li Beinian’s attack.

“Ouch!” A mechanical scream was heard and Liu Wei’s sensor light died.

Liu Wei was stunned when this happened.

She spotted Li Beinian staring at them with a gun from afar. She burst out, “Where did you come from!”

Li Beinian laughed. “I’m walking around in broad daylight!”

“How did you manage to kill someone in broad daylight!” Wang Shao covered her sensor. She was almost in tears to see that Liu Wei had been killed. “Beinian, please spare me. Our team is dead!”

“I’m the only one left in our group too.”

Li Beinian smiled but did not let her guard down.

Liu Wei had no choice but to walk back to the periphery.

Wang Shao was now left alone to face an opponent like Li Beinian. It was undoubtedly stressful.

Ultimately, Wang Shao was caught off guard and killed by Li Beinian.

She wanted to cry but had no tears, and could only follow Liu Wei back to the starting point.

Li Beinian grinned as she collected her final headcount. Then using her sensor, she began to search for her mission target.

Li Beinian successfully found her target.

She turned off the alarm and looked at the countdown timer.

There was only an hour left until the end of the game.

Li Beinian kept her things and walked towards the place where Li Xueqing had fallen.

She had been here for more than two hours. If she continued in this weather, she might really freeze to death.

Li Xueqing had already suffered the consequences of her own actions. It wouldn’t be funny if she died.

However, Li Beinian did not expect to hear the sound of laughter just as she neared the location.

The laughter, however, was filled with lecherousness and excitement.

“How pretty. Sure enough, she’s a beauty. She’ll definitely fetch a good price!”

“What are you doing!” Li Xueqing immediately cried and struggled in the water. She shouted, “I’m not. I’m your employer. You’ve got the wrong person. The person you’re supposed to be selling is not me!”

However, the men looked at each other as if they did not hear Li Xueqing.

“It would be a pity to sell her off just like that, hehe...” A dark and short man wearing a raincoat rubbed his hands excitedly.” Why don’t we have a good time first? Get comfortable. Look at the white and tender skin, I’m sure doing her will feel real good. ”

“Let’s not keep talking. Let’s get her out of there!”

Li Xueqing was pulled our of the pit roughly.

Li Beinian did not expect to see such a scene and suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Li Xueqing was struggling and crying desperately. “It isn’t me you’re after. I will give you money, I’ll give you a million! Let me go!”
