Shen Xiuqi glanced at the side, his face darkening and a bit unhappy inside. He actually really wanted to be in the same group as Chen Qiang, but to no avail. Xu Chaoran got lucky this time.

Three people in a group wasn’t enough. Therefore, they each chose two more staff members from the agritourism and formed a five person group.

Then, the two sides started choosing a color for their team. Shen Xiuqi led the red team while Xu Chaoran led the blue team. Therefore, Shen Xiuqi, Xu Chengkun, Yan Junyan and two other staff members were in the same group. The five formed the red team. Xu Chaoran, Chen Qiang, assistant He Renbin, and two other staff members formed the blue team.

After picking their teams, the two sides went to choose their equipment. Then, they found two mountains in Hundred Plant Garden as their camp. That’d be their stronghold and they’ll attack the other party. The side that seizes the other party’s camp would be the winner.

Shen Xiuqi brought his team to the camp and started creating a detailed defense plan. In the end, they decided on Yan Junyan guarding the camp while Shen Xiuqi and Xu Chengkun would bring the two other members to go attack the other camp.

It was unclear how Xu Chaoran decided to arrange this. It might be because he thought He Renbin had been his assistant for so long that the two had mutual understanding. Just one look and action, He Renbin would be able to understand immediately. They didn’t need to talk that much. But he didn’t know Chen Qiang that well. Therefore, he had him guard the camp while he and his assistant, He Renbin, brought the two members along to attack the other camp.

In the beginning, the two teams met halfway. They fought at close quarters and they quickly retreated back to the camp as a result. After Shen Xiuqi patrolled a few times with his members, he realized that it wasn’t effective to forcibly attack. Therefore, he decided to try something else.

Shen Xiuqi arranged for Xu Chengkun to lead two members to attack Xu Chaoran’s camp taking the original route. Meanwhile, he went by himself and went around the forest to get there.

“Go this way and I’ll go that way. We’ll meet up at this place in the end.” Shen Xiuqi drew a rough map and discussed the strategy with his team members.

Xu Chengkun nodded. “Okay, that’s the plan.”

Shen Xiuqi left from the back and followed the road in the forest to Xu Chaoran’s camp. He faintly heard fighting noises ahead. He approached Xu Chaoran’s camp as quickly as he could and hid behind a huge tree, secretly looking into the camp. He watched as Chen Qiang guarded the camp’s core machine. They must get rid of him in order to get rid of the core. He silently moved over and passed through the crack, lifting his gun and aiming it at Chen Qiang’s chest.

After a bang, the helmet Chen Qiang wore had let out an alarm. Shen Xiuqi knew that he had hit him, so he hurriedly stood up and ran towards the core machine, shooting it.

Xu Chaoran was still in the middle of fighting Xu Chengkun. The two parties were in an intense battle. He just needed to shoot Xu Chengkun when he suddenly heard an alarm on his helmet, announcing their team’s death!

“What happened?” Xu Chaoran asked his assistant, He Renbin confusedly.

He Renbin froze before reacting, “Our camp…”

Xu Chaoran cursed right then. He thought it was strange. He had encountered Xu Chengkun on the way there but not Shen Xiuqi. As it turned out, he must’ve snuck up to their camp from behind.

They lost this time. It was game over.

Shen Xiuqi’s red team won and Xu Chaoran’s blue team lost.
