The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1313: Chapter 1313: Ghost!

He Zhen tried hard to ignore the shame and embarrassment in his heart. After glancing seriously at the barrage, he typed a string of words: ”Sorry, I need to use the bathroom.”

Then.

After typing, He Zhen, sitting on the chair, didn’t move his butt at all. With a bright red face, he raised his hand to turn off the barrage and started watching the match seriously.

”Zhenzhen, are you back?”

”Zhenzhen, aren’t you peeing, are you squatting?”

”Zhenzhen, did you fall into the toilet?”

”Zhenzhen, are you out of toilet paper? Do you need me to mail you a roll?”

”...”

On the barrage.

The audience, who had been waiting for a long time without seeing He Zhen reply, suddenly realized.

”!!!”

”This is a bathroom escape!”

”You ran away!”

”Wrong! You’ve just turned off the barrage and are now squatting quietly on a small stool watching the match, aren’t you?”

”Zhenzhen, you’ve changed.”

”Zhenzhen, you’re not as pure as you used to be. Remember when you were with Ji You, how pure, innocent, unpretentious, and cute you were?”

...

Everyone teased He Zhen a bit, and seeing he didn’t show up again, they quieted down.

He Zhen watched for a while on his own, waited a few minutes, then couldn’t help but secretly turn on the barrage again. Seeing that fewer people were discussing him, he resumed the barrage and watched the match with the Star Network audience.

At this time, Ji You had just knocked out two students at the first checkpoint and gained passage rights to subsequent checkpoints. This operation left He Zhen dumbfounded.

Still—

Can you do this?

He Zhen pulled at his hair hard, feeling that even though he was watching Ji You’s actions the whole time, he still couldn’t quite guess her thoughts and intentions.

Why is she doing this?

Thinking it over, He Zhen felt the most likely reason was to use those knocked-out students to coerce Gu Peiyuan into agreeing to cooperate with her.

Hmm.

That should be it.

Thinking this, He Zhen focused even more intently on the screen.

...

In the competition arena.

After knocking out two people, Ji You didn’t pause and walked straight towards the second checkpoint with swagger.

The two students at the second checkpoint were completely unguarded; one even smiled as he let Ji You pass.

Ji You approached him and raised her hand for a chop, and the student fell to the ground.

Ji You turned to the second victim.

The second victim didn’t have time to run; Ji You delivered a chop.

Bam!

The boy glared, baring his teeth at Ji You.

Ji You’s finger twitched: ”???”

Careless!

Didn’t knock him out!

The boy drew his knife and charged!

Ji You raised her hand, delivering a second hard chop to the back of his head!

Bam!

With a loud noise, the boy fell to the ground with a thud!

Ji You shook her hand: ”Quite a thick skull.”

After taking down the second checkpoint, Ji You found the task of incapacitating her teammates increasingly easier.

Thus followed the third, fourth, fifth checkpoints...

In no time, they were about to lay siege.

Cheng Haoyue and He Nu, following behind Ji You, were secretly alarmed by what they saw!

They hadn’t managed to help attack; instead, just carrying their fainted teammates left them utterly exhausted!

Couldn’t keep up with Ji You’s pace!

Then, apparently knowing they couldn’t carry fast enough, Ji You paused briefly, intentionally waiting for them.

When He Nu and Cheng Haoyue had brought everyone into the cave and returned to Ji You’s side, Ji You pointed to the gate of the Commander Camp and shook her head, saying, ”Poor layout, weak defense, a sign of a fallen nation,”

The two: ”...”

Ji You sighed and grinned: ”Lucky it’s me they’re facing. If it were an enemy, we’d be doomed!”

Displaying a moment of patriotic sentiment, Ji You rubbed her fists, saying, ”Today, I’ll show you what real mastery is.”

second.

seconds.

seconds.

Waiting and waiting, Cheng Haoyue listened to her boastful words and couldn’t help blushing for her, eventually blurting out: ”Where’s the mastery?”

Originally, Ji You intended to perform some climbing walls and leap directly onto the wall, but seeing the height, felt there was a chance of failure. So, she waved her hand, saying, ”Forget it, wrong occasion, won’t show off.”

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”

Ji You was waiting there specifically, partly for Cheng Haoyue and He Nu, and partly to restore her strength. Though she seemed at ease, continuous action had drained both her spirit and physical strength, needing some time to recover. Third, she was also waiting for other teammates.

According to Ji You’s plan, those heading for other directions to ambush the Commander Camp should also be completed.

The night was dark and the wind cold; even not just body movements but thoughts would slacken. For instance, a team guarding supplies gathered to warm themselves by a fire, burning a kind of fuel ore from the supply depot, smokeless, odorless, and sparkless...

Huddled inside the stone house burning, it was warm, making one drowsy involuntarily.

Long matches, nerves stretched to the limit, exhausted, thirsty, hungry...

The sleepiness became overwhelming.

As their eyelids drooped, suddenly vague footsteps were heard, startling them. Before they could jump up, they were taken down by a surprise attack.

”You!”

”You all—”

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

All knocked out on the ground.

Someone said, ”These supplies—”

The leading captain said, ”Ignore them, move the people at once!”

There were many teams in action, and due to the laxity of the target personnel, the operation went very smoothly.

After finishing everything, they immediately rushed to meet Ji You.

Five minutes later.

Everyone had gathered, looking at Ji You excitedly rubbing their hands—

[Big Action!]

[On the cusp of something big!]

[Let’s do it big!]

...

Ji You ran her fingers over her lips, whispering, ”The people on the gate have been dealt with in advance. Teams 1 and 2, the gate can’t be left unmanned; take over as replacements.”

Huh?

Had they directly taken over the Commander Camp?

Hehe～

Teams 1 and 2, led by Liu Jia and Wang Xin, hearing this, without another word, led their people to climb onto the city wall.

Ji You said, ”Teams 3 and 4—”

”Teams 5 and 6—”

”Teams 7 and 8—”

All dispatched, Ji You raised her hand, saying, ”Go!”

Gu Peiyuan waited until the temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees, ensuring no anomalies, before leaving the lookout. After leaving, he went to the supply depot, picked a few fuel blocks, and found a warmer stone house to make a fire.

Too cold; without a fire, he would freeze.

After warming for a while, his body regained flexibility, and Gu Peiyuan, concerned about his station, went for a patrol.

Thus, just as Gu Peiyuan and two guards came out of the rest room, before descending the stairs, they ran smack into Ji You leading He Nu and Cheng Haoyue approaching.

Gu Peiyuan halted, meeting Ji You’s zoomed-in face!

That face, blood-smeared, sinister and terrifying! Gu Peiyuan was so scared he screamed, ”Ghost!”

Ji You: ”...”

Unwilling to waste words, Ji You raised her hand and knocked him out.
