【Flying Leaf】God of War

The two rested in shifts for a period of time, and continued on the road just after dawn.

There are still 24 hours before the end of the game... Sun Xiang squinted his eyes, staring at the faint morning light in the eastern sky, rubbed his face after a long while to cheer himself up.

Today will be a crucial day.

Ye Xiu held a thick branch he had picked up before, and trimmed it with a knife while he was resting. Now he is using this self-made crutch to clear the weeds on the road.The deeper they went, the denser the woods, but it could also mean that there were more resources for them to survive. Along the way, the two of them also found a pond that hadn't dried up.It's a pity that the water in it was too dirty to drink before it was boiled, so they had to pull out the grass roots around the pond to clean it, and chewed the water in it. Although it was sour and unpalatable, it also made up for the embarrassment of not having water.

Until noon, they finally found the third fragment.That thing was buried in the ground, and it was buried very deep, and there were no landmarks around it.The two arrived here at noon and spent the whole afternoon digging the box containing the map in a large patch of weeds one or two meters below.

Wiping the sweat off his face, Sun Xiang sat on the ground and panted for a long time. Ye Xiu swallowed, unfolded the map in his hand and read it, then put it back in his bag.Leaning on the tree branch, he straightened up unsteadily, and poked Sun Xiang's thigh with the mud-stained end, motioning him to move on.

The last map took too much time, and there was still a lot of distance from the end point. They had to hurry before the sky was completely dark.

There was a whine from the abdomen, Sun Xiang gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward with the remaining strength.Hunger leads to increased fatigue. Without strong willpower and psychological quality, this high level of stress can easily lead to mental breakdown.Ye Xiu glanced at the other party's pale face hidden under the oil paint, and threw the water bottle in his hand.

As soon as he picked up the heavy items, he turned around and found that it was almost full... Sun Xiang stared blankly at Ye Xiu, thinking involuntarily: This guy, has he barely drank water for so many days?

The latter turned his head away and reminded himself: "Don't fall down so quickly."

His lips were chapped and his voice was much hoarse than before. Sun Xiang raised his eyebrows, took a few steps forward and put the water bottle back into Ye Xiu's hand with a forceful gesture, then took out his own from the bag, raised his head and took a sip .

The moment the cold water poured into the mouth, it was like the rain falling from the sky in a drought, which lifted people's spirits.

"..." With a little helplessness, Ye Xiu looked at the other party's actions, and was a little amused by the man's staring eyes, so he unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

Wiping off the water stains on his lips, Sun Xiang said solemnly, "I don't need your protection."

"Ye Xiu." He called his name, his eyes were clear, as if he wanted to see through the thick paint on the man's expression: "I'm not your soldier."

"I am your comrade in arms."

Ye Xiu blinked, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was rare that he didn't calmly avoid Sun Xiang's fiery gaze, nor did he deliberately say some off-topic trash talk, but chose to respond to the other party's seriousness.

After carefully looking at the young man in front of him who was half a head taller than him before he knew it, he sighed softly.

"My fault." Shrugging his shoulders, Ye Xiu turned around, "There will be no next time."

Sun Xiang stared at the man's back, his eyes slightly curved.

It was hard for him not to be complacent, this was the first time Ye Xiu affirmed his existence as a 'comrade-in-arms', rather than a soldier who always needed the protection of the opponent.

That's good, he thought, and he was one step closer to that person.

After the mood improved, even hunger was ignored, and they completed the two-hour journey in silence. Before the sky was completely dark, the arrival of the fourth fragment made them greatly relieved, and they had a little discussion. People choose to rest in place.

After the bonfire was lit, Ye Xiu sat cross-legged beside the fire, resting his elbows on his knees and resting his chin, studying the map in his hand by the light of the fire.

When Sun Xiang walked over with a pile of dry firewood, he saw such a scene.He also sat down, threw the firewood in his hand into the fire one by one, and then leaned over to look at the map in Ye Xiu's hand - on the blueprint that was two palms in size, there was a red pentagram at the top Sun Xiang knew that it was their last step towards the finish line, so he couldn't help being a little excited when he thought of this.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, frowned, scratching at the red star with his slender fingers, wondering what he was thinking.

After a while, he said, "It's not right."

"What?" Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"Not enough time..." Ye Xiu tilted his head, leaned over actively, and pointed out the route to Sun Xiang: "Here to here... plus the road we have traveled before, if there is really a fifth fragment, then It has gone beyond the scope of the assessment."

"Perhaps there is a blind spot in the information the instructor told us." Ye Xiu said, "I have a hunch that this map in our hands is the final destination."

Sun Xiang stared at the other party, still seemed a little puzzled, he held his head and thought for a while, and was about to speak, when he saw Ye Xiu stretched his waist and put the map fragments back into his arms: "Forget it, this kind of thing will be discussed later." I think... now, let's take a good rest."

While talking, he picked up the crutch beside him and gathered all the dead branches into the campfire.

Sun Xiang stared at Ye Xiu, he had no choice but to swallow everything he wanted to say, and closed his eyes to rest.

After sleeping for three hours, Sun Xiang slept soundly, but when he opened his eyes again, he still saw the crackling fire and the pitch-black forest in front of him, but there was no Ye Xiu.

Sun Xiang sat on the spot for more than ten seconds, then suddenly jumped up as if being set on fire, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Swallowing, the night wind whizzed through the woods, making the atmosphere even more eerie.The sudden sense of crisis made his hair stand on his head, his whole body arched like a beast whose territory had been violated, and shrank in the small shadow behind the tree trunk.He pulled out the weapon at his waist expressionlessly—it was a black saber with a long forearm, black from the handle to the blade, and it was now being held in his hanging hand.

This is the weapon Sun Xiang drew, very common and common.

Since both he and Ye Xiu got this, the enemy must have...

Or there are guns.

Thinking of this, Sun Xiang pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement around him.

From before, he could be sure that there were people following them, and there must be a lot of people, that is, excluding him and Ye Xiu, the remaining eleven examiners.

The initial action failed to completely shake them off, and Ye Xiu must have discovered this, so he repeatedly stopped him from continuing during the conversation between the two.

Sun Xiang knew that this might be a link in that person's plan, so he cooperated with all his strength. He was a little dissatisfied with Ye Xiu's dishonesty at first, but now his small emotions disappeared after the other party admitted his teammate's identity—the relationship between them What is needed in the world is unconditional trust, Sun Xiang is willing to trust Ye Xiu, he must have his reasons for trusting Ye Xiu to do so...

So he didn't choose to ask, but remained silent.

On this point alone, Sun Xiang is much more mature than before.

But now Ye Xiu's inexplicable disappearance...would make him feel uneasy.

But now is not the time to think about these things, Sun Xiang suppressed his emotions and calmed down again.He let out a breath quietly, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he quietly chose to leave temporarily.

The bonfire was still burning, and sparks scattered all around, making crackling noises.

Sun Xiang, who had left the spot, did not go far. He deliberately hid his breath and hid in a place where he could see the flames, quietly observing.Darkness enveloped his figure, leaving the faint sound of breathing dissipating in the air along with the rhythm of the night wind.

It was so silent for an unknown amount of time, when suddenly, a burst of fine sound shook the eardrums.The two appeared around the bonfire, their faces were illuminated by the fire, and Sun Xiang narrowed his eyes.

It's Liu Hao.

To be precise, it was Liu Hao and a special soldier named Chen Yehui... It seems that these guys really followed behind them these days.Thinking secretly in his heart, Sun Xiang clenched the knife in his hand, considering whether to strike first.

At this moment, there was a new movement over there.

Who knows who cursed and kicked over the fire, sparks splashed and scattered all around, and the light suddenly dimmed.

"Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang are not here." Someone said with a low voice, and Sun Xiang recognized that it was Liu Hao's voice: "But they must be nearby, Ye Xiu's bastard didn't know what tricks he was playing to take The teammate's water bottle slipped away by itself." He spat heavily, and smiled ironically: "The idiot who came with him from Glory is still sleeping soundly."

Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize his water bottle was taken away by Ye Xiu?

"It doesn't count as taking it away," Chen Yehui said gloatingly, "He obviously put his own water bottle in it."

"Who knows if it's empty inside?" Liu Hao sneered, and said a few more words about Ye Xiu, before he paused: "Anyway, the most urgent thing now is to find that guy, the fragment of the map is in his hand superior."

"That Sun Xiang, just leave it alone?"

"Who cares, I think that kid is so stupid that he would trust someone like Ye Xiu..."

After Liu Hao and the others left, Sun Xiang also left his original position, and he followed behind those people without being too far or too close. Under the cover of the night, no one noticed.

At this time, he looked calm, but his heart was already in a mess.

Ye Xiu's water is twice as much as his own, if that person really chooses to give up on him, there is no need to do anything extra...

Biting his lower lip, Sun Xiang couldn't think of the other party's intentions, but he believed from the bottom of his heart that Ye Xiu was not the kind of person they said.

So when he was struggling, his body chose to trust one step faster than his consciousness—he followed Liu Hao and the others quietly, but with the intention of defeating them. After all, there were only two places in the end, except himself and Liu Hao. Everyone except Ye Xiu is an enemy.

With firm determination, Sun Xiang clenched the knife in his hand.

At this time, a cluster of flames suddenly rose from a certain place in the forest, and exploded with a 'bang' in the sky. Everyone was stunned, and involuntarily raised their heads to look at the place where the flames rose.Liu Hao swallowed: "Who went in that direction?"

"It seems to be Shunzi..." Chen Yehui answered.

"That kid is so awesome? Could it be that he was killed?"

"No way, didn't I say not to act rashly..."

Liu Hao frowned and said, "Let's go over there and have a look."

Sun Xiang hid behind the tree, his heart was pounding, thinking what would happen if that was Ye Xiu's flare, but this idea was quickly dispelled, Ye Xiu is so powerful, it is impossible to lose to this group of people .

Thinking of this made him feel much more at ease, Sun Xiang settled down and continued to follow.

At this time, there were still a few hours before dawn, and the light was very poor. It was really not that fast to find the location where the signal flare was fired.Chen Yehui walked around the woods a few times, but still found nothing.

"What's going on?" Chen Yehui couldn't help but asked, "Whether it's our people or Ye Xiu who are eliminated."

"I don't know..." Shaking his head irritably, Liu Hao's expression was not good: "Damn it, it's really too dark here..."

As he said that, he cursed a few words in a low voice: "The light is bad now, we can't find anyone even if we try to find them, and the two of us have bigger targets than one person, Ye Xiu will definitely find us before we find him. So I think it's better to take a break at this time, and continue to act after dawn..."

"Then do you want to notify the others to come back?" Chen Yehui asked.

"No need, one person has been eliminated just now, I don't think that person should be Ye Xiu." After sneering twice, Liu Hao was a little proud: "I think with Ye Xiu's ability, it shouldn't be possible to kill the remaining people alone. question."

Chen Yehui was obviously taken aback: "You mean..."

"Don't worry, even if he can't kill them all, he must have exhausted most of his physical strength after a busy night, and it will be easier for us to deal with it then." Liu Hao said, "As for that idiot named Sun Xiang, he might have already discovered Ye Xiu changed his water bottle, and he was running all over the place to settle accounts with him."

"..." Chen Yehui was silent for a few seconds, and hesitantly said, "You shouldn't..."

"What shouldn't I do? Give up my companions?" Liu Hao's voice was a bit sharp, and his pitch was slightly elevated: "Don't be naive." He sarcastically said: "This is a sea audition, and only two people can make it to the finish line. "

Liu Hao patted Chen Yehui's shoulder: "That's me and you."

Chen Yehui didn't answer, he sneered in his heart, thinking that if I was lucky enough to get a pistol, would you fucking choose me?

That's right, their small team of 11 people might have been united at the beginning, but as the game drew closer and closer to the end, differences gradually emerged; most of the reason why these people gathered together was because Ye Xiu's hatred was too great. High, so I want to kill this powerful opponent first.

But what happened after Ye Xiu was killed?

Liu Hao also thought of this point. In order not to let this rare value disappear, he proposed to round up Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang in groups of two or three.

As a result, Ye Xiu ran away right under their noses, and the siege turned into a manhunt.And most people are only envious of Ye Xiu's achievements in training, but they have never had direct contact with actual combat.In addition, those who can survive to the end are all strong, and this kind of people are more or less arrogant, and there are quite a few who say that they don't take Ye Xiu seriously.And Liu Hao just stimulated them, using them to distract Ye Xiu's attention and energy.

When he triumphantly told Chen Yehui his plan, Sun Xiang, who was hiding behind the tree, couldn't hold back anymore. He kept clenching the knife in his hand, wishing he could rush up and kill that insidious bastard right now. Give me a good beating.With such thoughts lingering in his mind, Sun Xiang took a breath, and put his primary target on Chen Yehui who was holding a gun.

Taking advantage of the cover of the night and the woods, Sun Xiang quietly approached behind the enemy. At this moment, Chen Yehui was a little irritated by Liu Hao, and he had unknowingly let down his vigilance, not aware of the danger.

At this moment, a second flare sounded in the sky, and the sound startled everyone.

Sun Xiang instantly captured the blank space of a few seconds, and threw himself at Chen Yehui with all his might——

At any rate, he persisted until the end, and Chen Yehui's reaction was not too slow. After falling to the ground, he immediately raised his hand and drew his gun to fight back.Sun Xiang couldn't let him succeed, he immediately grabbed the opponent's wrist and broke it hard, there was a crisp 'click', Chen Yehui's face turned pale instantly, the fingers holding the gun loosened softly, and the thing in his hand It just rolled down to the ground.

Sun Xiang pressed Chen Yehui's thigh with his knee, turned him over forcefully, and reached out to snatch the flare gun hidden in his arms.

Chen Yehui panicked immediately, and in a hurry he cursed on the spot, throwing out all the words he could think of.It wasn't Sun Xiang who sprayed, but Liu Hao who stood by and watched.

Liu Hao originally wanted to step forward to help, but he didn't want this teammate to be so weak, so he hesitated immediately.With his hesitation, Sun Xiang had already pulled out the flare gun from Chen Yehui's arms, and pulled the trigger against the air.

When the bullet exploded, the weak light made Chen Yehui's pale face turn slightly blue.He collapsed like a dead man, but after Sun Xiang loosened his grip, he rushed towards Liu Hao like crazy, and the two wrestled together.

Liu Hao was a little guilty at first, but after being beaten so badly, he stretched out his hand and pinched the opponent's neck and yelled a few words, to the effect that even if you lose, you still linger... Chen Yehui's eyes were bloodshot, he He punched Liu Hao fiercely in the face and cursed back.

There was a clicking sound when the pistol was loaded, and the two fell silent for a moment.

Sun Xiang stood there expressionless, holding the gun that Chen Yehui had dropped earlier.

"Tell me about Ye Xiu's whereabouts."
