“I don’t know if you guys noticed that most of the monsters which were attacking Ling Fei’s group earlier were emitting a green flame when they were attacking?”
After listening to Jiang Yuning, the three of them thought about what they had just witnessed before they nodded their heads. “Yes, I think that was the case.”
“But there were two or three monsters which emitted a red flame when they were attacking. I believe that the green monsters are very likely to be under the control of the red monsters.”
“After carefully analyzing and watching the red monsters, I have also realized that their attacks are stronger and fiercer in comparison to the green monsters.”
“Therefore, I suspect that the red monsters are more advanced prototypes that have the ability to detect our screams and subsequently send a signal out to the other monsters to start attacking.”
“So, what should we do next?” Xu Beishen asked Jiang Yuning as she started stretching her body. They were all already exhausted after spending a long night running around the island.
“I want to…try and take down one of the red monsters.”
Xu Beishen, Jing Mingchen, and Tong Tong were taken aback.
Was Jiang Yuning crazy?
She must be crazy! Otherwise, why would her suggestion sound so incredibly insane and scary? However, they could not deny that although the suggestion was strange, it seemed like the right thing to do…
“I propose that we take a vote. If all of you are too scared, then you can just hide in the building. I can go alone.”
“What are you talking about? This is just like robbing a bank…how are you going to do it on your own?” Xu Beishen refuted Jiang Yuning’s words immediately. “I will go with you.”
“Count me in!” Tong Tong raised his hand immediately.
“How can you leave out Mingchen’s screams at this time?” The four of them burst out in laughter as soon as they heard Jin Mingchen’s words.
…
On the other hand, Ling Fei’s group had already suffered another two monster attacks and at this time, all of them were in extremely bad shape. The men’s blood meters had extremely low readings and were almost depleted, especially because they had to step up and sacrifice themselves to protect Ling Fei from the monsters. However, at this time, they still had no idea on what they should do and how they could obtain the other hints without encountering the monsters. They finally decided to set up camp and rest in the building until morning, with the hopes that the monsters would stop attacking during the day.
“I wonder how Yuning’s group is doing at this time.” Qi Mo could not help but sigh as he drank some water. He felt that Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen were very pitiful because they were two helpless girls and he wondered if they could eat or drink anything if they were being constantly attacked by the monsters.
“Why are you so worried about people from another group when we are in such a miserable state ourselves?” Ling Fei could no longer stop herself from losing her temper and she lashed out at Qi Mo as soon as he started worrying about the other group.
“You are miserable? The five of us are the miserable ones! We have been sacrificing ourselves to protect you throughout the night. How could you be miserable?” Qi Mo could not help but replied. “Didn’t you say that Mingchen was the trigger that was attracting the monsters to attack us? Now that Mingchen is already gone, is there anyone else that you can push the blame to?”
“You were the one who willingly chose to be in my group. Moreover, I have already obtained two out of the six maps. You want to blame me now? Since you are so concerned about Jiang Yuning, maybe you can use your ticket to switch over to her group then. You should be given the chance to experience what it feels like to be with the source of all evil.”
The five men did not expect the Ling Fei, who had been smiling all day, to say something like this to Qi Mo.
“Do you really think that you would have been able to find the maps if we were not around to protect you?”
“I do not need any of you to protect me! All of you are free to use your tickets to switch groups. Go ahead!”
When Qi Mo saw that Brother Zhuang was about to lose his temper, he quickly stepped forward and calmed him down. “Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang, calm down. Don’t get angry because of someone like her. It is not easy for all of us to have been able to make it this far. It must have also been difficult for Ling Fei, as a girl, to lead a few male guests on her team.”
“I really don’t see how difficult it was for her. She had screamed the loudest and ran the fastest whenever we encountered any of those monsters. She was also the first to ridicule and give up on her own teammates when she faced some difficulties. I was already very upset when she wanted to send Mingchen away. How can a team leader just give up on her own teammate so easily? Yuning would never do something like that! If you guys want to continue serving her, then you can just stay and continue to serve her! I am going to walk on my own.” After that, Brother Zhuang picked his backpack up and walked out of the building directly.
Furthermore, Brother Zhuang was already very polite with his words.
The production team had been suppressing Jiang Yuning from the very beginning. Otherwise, why would any of them choose to be on this ice princess’ group?
She did not do anything useful along the way and all she wanted to hear was her teammates praise her for being so fortunate and lucky. When they were subsequently attacked by the monsters, the only thing that Ling Fei did was to run away and scream the loudest.
She must be crazy!
When Ling Fei saw Brother Zhuang walking away on his own, she felt like bursting out in tears. No one had ever treated her this way before on all of the variety shows that she had participated in.
She felt that she was seriously wronged.
“Go! All of you can just leave…I will find the keys on my own.”
In fact, Qi Mo was also almost at his limit. He could no longer tolerate Ling Fei’s temper. In the beginning, she seemed like an extremely nice and pleasant person but as time passed by and as he started spending more time with her, he realized that she was not really the person that she tried to portray herself to be. She was just pretending to be nice and pleasant because she wanted to steal them away from Jiang Yuning. She wanted everyone to choose her instead of Jiang Yuning.
“It’s okay, Ling Fei. Don’t be angry anymore. You should hurry up and rest while you can. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.”
Ling Fei was filled with anger and frustration and she secretly vowed in her heart that she would definitely be the first person to find the mysterious key and make it out of the iron gate tomorrow.
…
On the other hand, Jiang Yuning and her companions had already found a huge tree near the building that Jiang Yuning could climb up and stay in to wait for the monster.
Jin Mingchen would then start screaming to attract the monsters that were in the vicinity. As soon as the monsters appeared, the three of them would run off desperately and at this time, Jiang Yuning who was hiding on the tree, would take this opportunity to use the pistol prepared by the production team to aim and shoot at the red monster.
“Sister Yuning, is your marksmanship okay? Do you want me to switch places with you?” Jin Mingchen asked as he looked up at Jiang Yuning who was on top of one of the branches. Although Jiang Yuning was very capable, Jin Mingchen felt as though he should be doing the shooting, as a man.
“We can’t do that. None of us are as good as you when it comes to screaming,” Jiang Yuning replied as she laughed. “And would you really be courageous enough to sit on the tree and wait as you watch the monsters come running towards you?”
Jin Mingchen pictured the scenario in his head before he quickly shook his head. “No, I don’t think I can do that.”
“Don’t worry. I will try to succeed in one shot.”
“Okay then…okay, I am really going to scream now…” Jin Mingchen was acting like a child as he kept confirming with Jiang Yuning whether he should start screaming.
“Scream…go ahead and scream as much as you want. Scream to your heart’s content!” Jiang Yuning replied as she waved at Jin Mingchen.
“Ahh…” Jin Mingchen started screaming as loud as he could that even Jiang Yuning’s ears were hurting due to her close proximity to him.
Jin Mingchen then started running as he continued screaming. At this time, dozens of monsters started running towards them as though they had just awakened from their hibernation.
Jin Mingchen was so shocked and scared that he quickly ran into the nearest building without even turning back to see if Jiang Yuning was alright.
However, Jiang Yuning was very calm as she waited on top of the tree. She marked her target before she aimed her pistol directly at the red monster that was moving aggressively. Although it was a moving target, Jiang Yuning was fortunate because the target was very large. Jiang Yuning held the pistol in one hand as she aimed at the target with her right eye. The bright red flames looked extremely dazzling under the moonlight.
Bang! A loud gunshot was heard before the red monster fell to the ground.
The other monsters suddenly stopped attacking, as though they had already lost their souls.
The three of them were initially desperately running for their lives but in the blink of an eye, the monsters in front of them were no longer aggressive, but were instead as obedient and docile as a pet.
“Sister Yuning, are you really so amazing?” Jin Mingchen asked in disbelief as he ran over to Jiang Yuning who had just jumped down from the tree.
In fact, the production team was already banging their heads on the wall at this time.
