Mimosa

Qing Huai analyzed, "Our first soldier died 19 minutes ago. During that time, the enemy didn't even have time to dig the third pit, which shows that the enemy's strength and stamina are not formidable."

"Moreover, this method was probably a spur-of-the-moment decision. Otherwise, after finding the landfill, he should have dug it up completely before alerting them, and then quickly cut open all the sealed bags. In that case, we would probably have been killed by the rules within a minute without them even realizing it."

"Perhaps the other party is also unsure whether this method is feasible; it's just an attempt," Qing Huai stated his conclusion.

Cao Wei glanced at the Tuanzi and said, "The officer's analysis makes perfect sense."

"We can't waste time now. We can discuss the analysis later," Qing Huai said. "Brother Cao Wei, take three combat teams back to where we just buried the bags and dig them out. Then, I need you to find a place to lay a minefield."

Soon, Cao Wei returned with his men and patted his bag. "Commander Qing Huai, your sealed bags are all in my bag, I will keep them safe myself."

However, Qing Huai shook his head and took the sealed bag out of the other party's bag. "Brother Cao Wei, how can I let you do something like carrying urine bags? I respect you like an elder brother, this kind of thing is not acceptable."

After saying that, he stuffed the two sealed bags into his bag.

Cao Wei's face showed a touched expression. "Sir, you're too kind."

But then Qing Huai asked, "Brother Cao Wei, what is your analysis of this person?"

"His rank might not be high, but he should be more familiar with the rules here than we are," Cao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Someone who knows the rules here so well, could he be a knight? No, that's not right either. If he's a knight, I'm C-Class and you're D-Class. He could kill us without even needing the rules."

"It's hard to say," Qing Huai thought for a moment, "At least we can't rule out this speculation. As far as I know... it's also possible that the knights don't want to take direct action."

Qing Huai mention the rule that one cannot kill in Forbidden Zone, but he held back.

Cao Wei glanced at Qing Huai: "Could this person be someone hired by another competitor within the Qing family to interfere with your mission? Who do you think might have hired him?"

"Every candidate in the Shadow Struggle might want to kill me," Qing Huai said. "The only one who can be cleared of suspicion is that good-for-nothing locked up in Prison No. 18. Brother Cao Wei, the Shadow Struggle are just that cruel."

The field company, which had 152 elite soldiers when it arrived, now had only 104 left.

The 48 dead soldiers didn't even have a chance to fight back.

This is the terrifying aspect of the rules of the Forbidden Zone; if you master the rules, even an ant can kill an elephant.

Just then, a soldier controlling a mechanical hound with holographic glasses nearby said, "Sir, a suspicious heat source has been detected at the 3 o'clock position. The other party is approaching stealthily."

Qing Huai calmly asked, "Are there any other suspicious sources of heat?"

"Sir, no," the soldier replied.

Qing Huai looked at Cao Wei: "Kill him, then we can continue."

Cao Wei said, "Please make a careful decision. Actually, it's not too late for us to withdraw now."

Qing Huai shook his head. "As far as I know, the people from the other branches who want to interfere with me are already on their way. If I retreat now, there will be no chance to complete this mission within the three-month deadline."

Qing Huai's guess was correct; the team that came to kill him from the fire pit had already entered the Forbidden Zone.

In fact, they had anticipated that someone might interfere with the mission before they arrived, since this was a common occurrence in the Shadow Struggle, but they didn't expect the other party to arrive so quickly.

There is no turning back in the Shadow Struggle; once you embark on it, you must disregard your life. The Shadow position you are about to obtain is the most important thing.

The soldiers of the field company all started running, and the four mechanical hunting dogs, like wild dogs that had broken free, darted into the woods and locked onto the heat source from before!

However, as soon as they set off, the heat source began to escape into the distance.

And it's extremely fast.

Qing Chen roamed freely through the woods, and unlike the others, every step he took was purposeful.

The paths he walked were all paths he had walked before.

When ordinary people trek through the mountains, they need to be careful not to trip over branches, to avoid stones hidden under decaying leaves, and to be careful of uneven soil.

Therefore, ordinary people cannot exert their full strength when trekking through mountains.

But Qing Chen is different; every path he has walked is in his mind.

Every leaf on the ground, every stone under his feet, is as if he grew up here, this is his home.

It was as if he could walk with his eyes closed.

As if walking on flat ground.

For some reason, Qing Chen actually quite liked this place. Although the woods were dark, he always felt that some kind eyes were watching him.

There was no hostility; they simply watched quietly, even with a hint of a smile.

Watch him exploit the rules, watch him eliminate his enemies.

Just like that teacher named Li Shutong, who brought him here not only to kill Qing Huai and unlock the Gene Lock, but also to let the ancestors see the successor of the knights.

How fierce and intelligent they are.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the wild beasts and insects of this battlefield had all quietly departed, leaving the battlefield to the boy.

It was as if a stage had been specially prepared for him.

The enemy behind him was getting closer and closer. The tracking efficiency of the four mechanical hounds was too high, and the mechanical legs of the field company soldiers were too fast and powerful. Even if Qing Chen walked on flat ground, he could not overcome this huge power gap.

He is not a true knight yet.

Gradually, Qing Chen could hear the breathing of the enemy behind him, just a few dozen meters away.

But he didn't turn back, because he had his own plans.

Everything is still under control.

Just as the enemy was about to get close behind Qing Chen, the boy suddenly accelerated.

200 meters.

100 meters.

50 meters.

10 meters.

Qing Chen walked through a thicket of bushes.

The next moment.

Cao Wei and Qing Huai both felt something was wrong. Why did that boy go to all this trouble to come here?

"Stop..." Cao Wei said before he could finish.

Dozens of pursuing soldiers had already disappeared into the bushes.

In an instant, they felt their bodies leaping into the air.

As they flipped through the air, the soldiers could still see their lower bodies left on the ground, while the leaves of the bushes were covered with drops of blood.

In the blink of an eye, the four mechanical hounds, along with the bodies of eight soldiers, passed through the thicket...

It shattered in an instant.

More than twenty soldiers chasing behind them lost control and crashed into the bushes, suffering the same fate.

Cao Wei squinted at the inconspicuous shrubs in front of him. They were just some thriving Mimosa plants, so why had they suddenly become incredibly sharp killing weapons?!

He looked up and was shocked to find that the boy had stopped and was looking at him coldly, making another throat-slitting motion.

At this moment, Cao Wei was certain that the other party possessed far more rules than he did.
