“Yun Jian, you’re still not leaving at this point of time?! Shuya… You must’ve killed her! You’re the only one at odds with her and you’re the most skilled. It’s easy for you to attack her while we weren’t around. You’re the biggest suspect! Drillmaster! Drillmaster, catch her! Don’t let her escape!”
Han Ming could no longer keep his emotions in check. If others had not stopped him, he would have thrown himself to Yun Jian.
“Alright! We’ll talk about it after the seven-day outdoor survival activity ends tomorrow!” Drillmaster Zhou said after he glanced at Yun Jian in shining eyes.
“Yun Jian, since you’re staying, as long as you hold out until 12pm tomorrow at noon, Min City Military School will be considered as winning the competition,” Drillmaster Zhou said and ushered the other students to leave.
As for Lin Shuya’s body, no one dared go take a look.
“Yingying, let’s go.” Leng Hanzhe turned to hold Mu Ying’s hand after what Drillmaster Zhou said but the girl avoided his grasp.
“I’m staying with Yun Jian,” Mu Ying said impassively.
Everyone was still doused in panic and fear, all of them fighting to be the first to leave, so no one paid attention to what was happening here.
“I—I’m staying with Yun Jian too! I’m not leaving if Yun Jian’s not leaving!” Lin Yuan’s expression had almost gone stoic from fear but she gripped the hem of her clothes and refused to leave.
She was genuinely treating Yun Jian as a friend. The latter was staying in the island. Even when Lin Shuya had died here and no one knew who killed her, she believed in Yun Jian since the latter was brave enough to stay!
“Yingying, I’ll stay by your side no matter where you’re going!” Leng Hanzhe made up his mind and no longer wanted to leave.
Wen Peiling who had planned to leave with everyone else opted to stay as well the moment she heard Leng Hanzhe’s decision.
“They’re c-crazy! Min City Military School’s students are nuts! You’ll die h-here! And you choose to stay and kill yourselves!” students from Woolim Miltiary School stammered frightfully.
All of them ran to fight for seats in the helicopter, wanting to be the first batch to leave.
After Drillmaster Zhou sent off the students who quitted the competition, he looked at Yun Jian cryptically before he told her and the others who chose to stay, “I’ll send the helicopter here for you guys again at 12pm tomorrow. The other students will be staying in inns around this island to wait for all of you before we announce the result of this outdoor survival activity.”
“Mn.” Yun Jian nodded.
…
Those who stayed were Yun Jian, Mu Ying, Lin Yuan, Wen Peiling, Leng Hanzhe and a few of Leng Hanzhe’s friends. These friends of his were seniors in sophomore and senior years, refusing to leave when they heard that Leng Hanzhe was staying.
Han Ming was rather close to Leng Hanzhe but with what happened, he was scared and had been the first person to dash to the helicopter to flee.
They spent the sixth night with a bonfire like they had been doing the past nights but due to what happened, they stayed guard in the night in groups of three.
The night passed peacefully.
When it was around 10am the next day, Yun Jian who was resting on a strong branch hopped off the tree suddenly.
“Eh? Yun Jian, where are you going? The drillmaster will be picking up us in the helicopter at 12pm,” Lin Yuan quickly got up to ask Yun Jian.
She was afraid that Yun Jian would go missing and become a corpse like Lin Shuya.
“To… somewhere fun.” Yun Jian smirked and did not say more.
The others felt their eyes twitch at what she said and followed her. No one saw the small smile playing at her lips.
The game was over. She was going to reveal the mystery.
