Chapter 396: Enjoy Hunting
She focused her gaze and looked to her right.
She didn’t fire a shot instantly, but instead distinguished whether the person who entered was a friend or a foe.
The skies had already darkened, and one wouldn’t be able to see clearly. But once one’s eyes adjusted to the darkness, there was a certain level of vision.
Even though everyone more or less wore the same equipment, after careful observation, Gu Qingjiu noticed that there was a visible difference in the structure of the items of clothing on the upper body.
If one looked carefully, one could distinguish between the different schools in the darkness based on those designs.
This was probably a neat little trick in this competition.
It depended on whether the participants were observant and calm enough to realize that.
Gu Qingjiu was one such person who could keep her cool.
Through the dim rays of light in the darkness, she could clearly see the person walking over stealthily.
Not a teammate!
Fire!
Gu Qingjiu narrowed her eyes, immediately firing a shot once she confirmed it was an opponent. She was like a scary leopard with acute senses in the darkness.
This person was clearly five meters away from Gu Qingjiu, and beside the person, there were several thick tree branches blocking.
Yet Gu Qingjiu could distinguish with no hesitation.
‘Bang!’
The gunshot had a startling effect in the quiet mountain forest.
That person fell into a daze and his countenance changed. He then looked in the direction where the shot came from.
But he didn’t make any move.
Even though she knew she might already have been discovered, Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t expose herself so abruptly.
‘Beep beep beep beep!’
The red light lit up on that man who was hit. He had no choice but to turn around and leave according to the guiding light.
The teams from three military schools were waiting outside. The commanders were holding a device that could detect a person’s identity who was eliminated based on the clothes’ sensors.
When the commander of the National Defense University saw from the device that the lights for number nine had extinguished, his expression darkened.
Even Commander Chen from Haihe Military University laughed unkindly.
“Brother Yang, what’s the matter? Someone from your team was the first to get eliminated this time around?”
Due to the fact that it would only display the outcome, none of them knew which school’s participant was the one who hit the eliminated player.
But the competition only started a few minutes ago, and someone was already eliminated. It was considered very fast.
Commander Yang snorted. “It’s only just begun. What are you so anxious about? Commander Chen!”
“I’m not anxious. I’m just shocked...”
Lu Yimei didn’t join in their squabbling. With her brows furrowed, she was worried about Gu Qingjiu.
At the thought of this, she spoke into her mike softly.
“Listen, Gu Qingjiu. If you’re somewhere safe, don’t come out first.”
Gu Qingjiu was surprised to hear Commander Lu Yimei’s instructions that were specifically directed at her.
She curled her lips.
She knew that Commander Lu was worried about her.
However...
Having attacked once, she developed some confidence. But she wasn’t arrogant.
This person ‘died’ due to carelessness.
Perhaps he was only seeking opponents so proactively because he had taken part many times.
He hadn’t expected to arouse the attention of a wild beast camping somewhere in the darkness.
He also hadn’t expected that someone would discover him despite his cautious movements.
Gu Qingjiu calmed herself down and looked up at the skies.
It had only been a few minutes. If she kept waiting there, her legs were bound to go numb from squatting.
If everyone hid and waited for an opponent to show up like her, the situation from earlier would not have happened.
So...
Gu Qingjiu curled her lips.
She wasn’t prey. Even if she was a newbie, she wanted to completely enjoy this hunting game!
