Chapter 3734: Without A Trace
Editor: Henyee Translations
After discussing with Zhang Minghong, Ye Jian spread out the map and reorganized the route. After about ten minutes of discussion, the Chinese students wearing jungle camouflage combat uniforms carried 27 kilograms of luggage and plunged into the depths of the primeval forest.
The Chinese gave up on the nearest five coordinates and entered the depths of the forest at their fastest speed.
There was a difference between the coordinates for this a.s.sessment and domestic compet.i.tions. The coordinates for domestic compet.i.tions were marked with numbers. They needed to be searched in order.
However, there was no order to the coordinates for this compet.i.tion. Since most of them were heading toward the nearest five red and green coordinates and the j.a.panese students might be up to no good, they might as well bypa.s.s the nearest one and enter the primeval forest.
In that case, they had to speed up their march.
There was no pressure on Ye Jian to march in the depths of the primeval forest. She couldn’t even remember how many times she had entered a primeval forest. Facing the unfamiliar environment with complicated terrain, Ye Jian led the team to speed up their pace to find the coordinates.
Time pa.s.sed slowly. The j.a.panese students who were waiting on the road couldn’t hold it in anymore. They looked at the time. An hour had pa.s.sed. The Chinese students who were supposed to appear early were still nowhere to be seen.
“They’re not here yet? Did they get lost? It’s been an hour. If they’re not lost, they would’ve appeared in our search area.”
“54 minutes. We’ve been guarding for 54 minutes, but they haven’t appeared. I think they’re lost.”
“If they’re really lost, our time will be delayed too! We didn’t get a coordinate, nor did we find the Chinese students.”
As soon as this was said, the entire channel fell silent. That was right, the Chinese lost their way and delayed them.
Michiko Matsuyama looked at the time. Her expression was a little bad. She pressed down the microphone at the corner of her mouth and said to the leader, Maki Fujino, “Maki, we can’t wait any longer. One hour has pa.s.sed. We can’t wait anymore.”
Half an hour ago, she reminded Maki Fujino that they shouldn’t wait anymore. However, Maki Fujino didn’t accept her suggestion. He just replied, “We need to be patient.”
They had already waited for an hour, but the Chinese students were still nowhere to be seen. Michiko Matsuyama’s att.i.tude was much tougher than half an hour ago. “We’ve wasted too much time, Maki. If we wait any longer, it won’t end well for us! We can’t wait any longer. The Chinese might have noticed our plan and bypa.s.sed it!”
“How is that possible? Where are they going? Don’t they want to get the nearest coordinates? With the cunningness of the Chinese students, how can they give up the nearest coordinates?” f.u.k.u.moto Lina was completely on Maki Fujino’s side and insisted that they would definitely be able to wait for the Chinese students to appear.
Maki Fujino stared at the numbers on his watch. When he didn’t see the Chinese after an hour, his eyes turned cold. He said in a low voice, “The Chinese students might have noticed our plan. Retreat first!”
“Maki!” f.u.k.u.moto Lina, who wanted to continue waiting, roared indignantly. “We’ve already waited for so long. Are we going to give up? If we give up now, won’t our previous wait be in vain?”
