Chapter 657: She Had Fallen Into the Trap
Guan Yueyun responded with a smile and said, “It’s good that you can accept it. Beinian is really good, and so are you. You will find someone better in the future.”
Feng Yiran smiled and kept silent.
However, he quickly asked her, “Is Beinian walking into the forest alone?”
“Uh huh. Our teammates have all been killed. Only Beinian is left.” Guan Yueyun was a little embarra.s.sed. “If it weren’t for Beinian protecting me, I wouldn’t have lasted this long. She’s really capable.”
Feng Yiran nodded and turned around.
The sky was gray and overcast.
Behind them was a scene of lush greenery after the rain and the bleakness of winter. The rain-soaked trees swayed in the winds, rustling noisily.
He prayed that she would be safe.
Li Beinian searched for a long time before the sensor finally started to flash.
A little excited, she kept her eyes on the sensor and quickened her pace.
Suddenly, she sensed that she was being watched.
That feeling overwhelmed her rather suddenly.
She remained calm and pretended to rest for a while. Then, she looked around.
There was nothing unusual.
However, Li Beinian was now even more certain that someone was following her.
The deeper they went, the more ambushes there were.
Although Li Beinian believed that she was probably the first person to have come this far, she couldn’t let her guard down.
Sure enough, she was ambushed again.
Li Beinian’s expression did not change as she continued to walk further in.
The person behind her continued to follow her even after the flash of the sensor disappeared.
She turned around, intending to look for the mission target. But she feared that if she were to dash out suddenly, she would be killed and all her efforts would be in vain.
Hence, she pretended to be calm and walked on.
However, that person seemed to be at odds with her and followed closely behind her.
Li Beinian’s mind was filled with countless thoughts.
The weather wasn’t the best today and she couldn’t tell the time, but there was a countdown on the sensor.
It had been more than three hours since they entered. Almost half of the eight hours had pa.s.sed.
At this point, probably the only people whom she might come up against would be one of the team leaders – Liu Wei, Jiang Chun, or Feng Yiran.
The others probably wouldn’t risk following her this way.
Li Beinian’s mind was racing. As she pondered, she suddenly ran forward.
As she ran, she kept looking back.
The sensor had a mirror surface. Li Beinian looked at the reflection , and realized that there was someone else.
The figure was pet.i.te, a woman!
On a closer look, Li Beinian realized… it was actually Li Xueqing?
Li Beinian frowned.
Li Xueqing was in Jiang Chun’s group. A chauvinist like Jiang Chun wouldn’t allow Li Xueqing to follow her.
Beep, beep, beep.
The sensor suddenly rang.
Obviously, the mission target was nearby.
However, the sensor had already sounded once before. Why was it ringing again from so far away?
This wasn’t logical!
The setting of the sensor was very intuitive.
The further away they were from the target, the softer the alarm and the dimmer the light.
The closer they were, the opposite would happen of course.
Li Beinian felt that something was amiss. Suddenly, she lost her footing and exclaimed in surprise.
Li Xueqing had followed behind Li Beinian for the longest time.
When she saw Li Beinian increasing her pace and getting further away, she followed more and more closely.
As Li Xueqing ran to keep up, she suddenly heard an exclamation, and she became very excited.
Success! She had fallen into the trap!
