【Flying Leaf】God of War

Erla's match venue was set on a small island in the waters of country A. The two of them took a plane for a day and landed in Haikou in the evening. They rested for a while and ate something, and took a speedboat to the island the next day.

For the last meal before leaving, everyone let go of their bellies and swept away the food on the table. Sun Xiang finished off five or six bowls of rice and two roasted chickens, and panted while hugging his stomach.

Ye Xiu spat out a bone and gave him a blank look: "Have you eaten too much?"

Sun Xiang burped: "...um."

At this time, many contestants from other countries had already gathered, some of them were speaking in unknown languages, pointing at Sun Xiang who kept hiccupping and laughing.Just as Sun Xiang wanted to get angry, Ye Xiu pressed his fist down before he even raised his fist, and dragged him back to the tent where he was sleeping.

"Don't be too impulsive." Ye Xiu took off his coat and put it aside, half reprimanding him, "They just want to lure you into a fight. There was a fight before the match started, do you still want to live?"

Sun Xiang stood by the side with a sullen face, without saying a word.

Ye Xiu thought he was wronged, and thought it might be due to the pressure before the match, so he wanted to go up to him to comfort him, but he didn't want to be shocked by the opponent's hug all of a sudden.

But Sun Xiang quickly let go, turned around and left the tent, and came back half an hour later covered in sweat.

"You don't know how to fight." Ye Xiu was doing push-ups in the tent, and he was out of breath at the moment. When he saw Sun Xiang came back, he didn't say much, and continued to tease him habitually.

Regarding the previous hug, both of them tacitly did not mention it, Sun Xiang didn't know how to speak, but Ye Xiu knew it well.

Tomorrow's game, this kid is more or less nervous... It can be seen from his increased appetite.Ye Xiu wiped off his sweat, thinking about how to relieve the other party's stress, but after deliberation, he just stretched out his hand and patted Sun Xiang's shoulder heavily.

"Take it easy."

"Yeah." Sun Xiang licked his dry and chapped lips, raised his head and drank a big mouthful of water, and added, "I'm not nervous."

Ye Xiu didn't choose to poke him, but dragged him to take a cold shower. His shirtless hair stood on end under the sea breeze.The two ran back into the tent trembling and wrapped them in quilts. Sun Xiang hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his arms to hug the person next to him, and buried his head on the other's shoulder.

The quilt was a little damp, the humidity was heavy, and it was cold on the body.Ye Xiu was also a little cold, so he let those warm arms embrace him.

Now that he has chosen to accept, he will no longer escape.

Sun Xiang felt Ye Xiu raise his hand, and was startled, thinking that the other party was going to push him away, but he didn't expect that person to lean over, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"Sleep and work hard tomorrow."

Shocked, Sun Xiang heard Ye Xiu whisper in his ear.

The gesture seemed a little... too intimate.

Is this a response?He was thinking in a daze, his mind went blank, and as time passed, his limbs, which were originally stiff due to tension, gradually relaxed.Sun Xiang approached cautiously, and the two of them hugged into a ball, wrapped in the quilt soaked in each other's body temperature, and fell into a deep sleep.

At six o'clock the next day, the two opened their eyes on time, packed their things without saying a word, and went out to gather.

The atmosphere was unprecedentedly serious. A total of [-] contestants from [-] countries boarded the boat one by one according to the order of the team. The cool sea breeze mixed with the salty smell hit the face, and the spirit was also lifted.Sun Xiang squinted his eyes, watched the rising sun above the sea level and dyed the water orange red, and took a breath quietly.

He was a little nervous, a little hyper.

His limbs trembled faintly, and his heart beat so violently that it seemed as if it was going to pop out.

Perhaps it was because Sun Xiang's face was a little too red, Ye Xiu who was beside him quietly shook his hand.

During the 10-minute journey, the instructor on the ship was quickly explaining the rules. He sent each team a map with a marked area on it, which was the meeting point they were going to arrive at today.

In this five-day and four-night race, there are four places to go: three assembly points, and the final destination.Each of these three rendezvous points is a checkpoint. In the process, there will be nearly [-] National Defense Forces with weapons to round them up.According to the point system, each person starts with [-] points, and is deducted [-] points if he is hit or the siren is sounded, and those with zero points are eliminated directly.

In addition, the top three teams who arrive at the assembly point will be rewarded with points, No.1 will get 2 points, No.3 will get [-] points, and No.[-] will get [-] points.The first meeting point only counts the top [-] arriving teams, the second counts the top ten, and the third counts the top five... Generally, on the third day, there are very few teams that can stay.

Meanwhile, there's a rivalry between teams, with five points awarded for sounding an enemy's siren.Under the monitoring of these hundreds of cameras, any violations will be eliminated directly.

Sun Xiang glanced at the map, the competition provided them with many routes to choose from, but these were all based on the roundup of hundreds of National Defense Forces... How to get there safely in the fastest time is the most important issue.Ye Xiu took advantage of the few minutes on the boat to study for a while, and then whispered to Sun Xiang, "Follow me later."

The boat gradually approached the shore, and they had three minutes to rush into the woods, and then the Wehrmacht would follow with their dogs.Ye Xiu dragged Sun Xiang and ran all the way. After entering the woods, he didn't look around for a hiding place, but turned around and changed direction to continue moving forward.

A few minutes later, the two came to a small river.It might be a bit of a stretch to call it a river, but at best it was a creek filled with mud, surrounded by weeds, and rocks of all sizes covered with moss.

Ye Xiu jumped down without saying a word, Sun Xiang didn't have time to hesitate, gritted his teeth and followed into the water.

The water is not deep, at best it is half the height of a person. Although the visibility is low, it can be found from the shore.Ye Xiu led Sun Xiang along the river bank. Three minutes passed quickly, and the sound of dogs barking and footsteps gradually resounded in the woods, which made people's hearts jump.Because of the existence of military dogs, it is too difficult to avoid 3% of them successfully. Although most people are camouflaged as quickly as possible, it is inevitable that one or two people will be discovered.Immediately afterwards, the eliminated list was transmitted through the radio, and there were nearly ten of them after a slight count.

"It's normal," Ye Xiu, who was leading the way, explained in a low voice, "Luck is all you need for this level..." He stopped talking after speaking, because someone came over.

The two looked at each other and dived to the bottom of the water at the same time. There happened to be a huge rock at the bottom of the water. The sight of people standing on the shore would be blocked by the stone and they would not be able to see the bottom of the water clearly.At the same time, the military dogs could not smell them through the water.

The stream here was too dirty, even opening their eyes was useless. They simply closed their eyes, held their breath, and hugged the stone tightly to prevent them from floating up. At the same time, they raised their ears to listen to the movement on the shore.This feeling was terrible, the muddy water was sticky and smelly, and they endured it for about a few minutes, and finally they came out of the water to catch their breath when they couldn't hear a single sound.

Ye Xiu wiped his muddy face, pulled Sun Xiang aside, and motioned him to follow.

The sense of blankness brought about by suffocation will make people dull, and it took Sun Xiang a while to realize: Have they passed the first level?

When he asked this question, Ye Xiu rolled his eyes: "It's not that simple."

"We took a coincidence and took the water route, mainly because this road does not exist on the prompt map..."

Ye Xiu said that every other match, the venue changes a lot, but some fixed places remain unchanged.He also took this path the last time he came, but there was no water at that time, it was just a ditch covered with mud. At that time, he and his teammates hid in the mud and climbed all the way to the assembly point.

"Conditions are much better now... I had forgotten about this place at first, and I only noticed an undivided area here when I was looking at the map... In fact, the enemy has already noticed this place, but they didn't come down to search carefully."

"It was their fault and it was our luck," he added.

"So we haven't encountered any enemies so far." Sun Xiang nodded, inevitably a little lucky.

But don't be too happy too early, after all, most things have changed, and after so long, Ye Xiu can't remember clearly, so he can only explore on the map as he walks.Later, when it was time to walk along the stream, the two went ashore again. After drying off the water stains on their bodies, they put on some camouflage grass loops and plunged into the woods.

During this process, the names of those who were eliminated came from the radio intermittently, which made everyone take warning and do their own things carefully.

There were not many shelters in the woods, and the silt affected the smell. They successfully avoided the military dogs, but due to the large number of opponents, they still had no choice but to meet the National Defense Forces.

It was a small team, about seven people. On the first day, these people didn't know how to carry firearms, they just carried an iron rod with blood on it.Sun Xiang and Ye Xiu were surrounded in the middle, back to back, guarding against the opponent's sneak attack.

At this time, one of them took out the walkie-talkie, said something in English that he found contestants 36 and 37, and directed the others to rush forward with sticks.

Ye Xiu sideways dodged the roaring iron rod, knelt down and put his shoulders on the opponent's abdomen, skillfully pushing one person over.Sun Xiang, who was behind him, was not idle either, he raised his foot and kicked a man's chest fiercely, the man barely blocked it with an iron rod, but the stick was bent and the man stepped back a few steps.

Seeing this, the others rushed forward, and immediately several sticks fell down. The two of them dodged left and right, but they inevitably got hit a few times.Sun Xiang was punched in the face by the other party, he cursed, picked up the fallen stick and rushed up desperately.

Ye Xiu hit the back of the enemy's neck with a knife, and after the opponent's body collapsed, he quickly turned around and went to help Sun Xiang.That kid was being besieged by three or four people, and the iron stick in his hand was waving like a tiger and a tiger like a tiger, and he looked like he was riding a thousand horses.When he saw Ye Xiu approaching, he pressed down without saying a word, grabbed the arm of the man behind his neck and ruthlessly pulled him off, and threw him to the ground.

Ye Xiu made a precise kick, stepped on the opponent's chest and jumped up, punched the guy who was going to attack Sun Xiang away, and was thrown to the ground by the enemy behind him.

He reacted quickly, turned his head when he fell to the ground, successfully avoided the attack, then grabbed the opponent's wrist, rolled over and pressed the person under him, and punched him several times.

It is indeed difficult to fight more with fewer enemies. The two struggled for a long time and still died. Ye Xiu's arm was hit by a steel rod. Fortunately, the bone was not broken, but the flesh there was swollen and the skin turned red. .There were also bruises on Sun Xiang's face. He was punched in the face, and his nosebleeds mixed with dust covered his face. He looked very embarrassed.But these are still minor injuries, and so far, the sirens of the two have not sounded once.

After cleaning up these people, Sun Xiang viciously raised his hand and gave the middle finger to the camera above his head.Ye Xiu casually threw away the bent iron rod and patted him on the shoulder to signal to move on.

The two were wary of the National Defense Forces who were searching, but they met the same contestant. That person's teammates had already been eliminated, and he was the only one left at the moment.As soon as the other party saw Ye Xiu and the others, they immediately expressed in English that they would give up resistance and begged for mercy.

Ye Xiu gave Sun Xiang a wink, and Sun Xiang went up to subdue the man two or three times, and then sounded the siren on the other's waist.After the siege, this guy's score has been very low, and he did nothing more than make up for the last knife.

As the broadcast sounded, the man stared at them with resentful eyes, spitting out all kinds of dirty words continuously from his mouth.He wanted to rush forward recklessly, but he stopped abruptly at the end, suppressing his anger and froze in place, motionless.

The two bypassed this unlucky guy and continued to walk forward. Sun Xiang had doubts: "Why didn't you go up by yourself just now?"

"There are points for attacking contestants," Ye Xiu explained simply, "You are a rookie, so you can get more points, which will help us in the future."

This logic is a bit wrong...?Sun Xiang didn't say anything more, he knew that now was not the time to think about these things.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and the two of them were the first to reach the meeting point, about 2 seconds faster than No.30.

With the victory in the first battle, Sun Xiang was more or less relieved, and it was inevitable that he felt a sense of relief.

Ye Xiu quickly saw it, and slapped the opponent on the forehead, warning him that this was just the beginning.

"Do you know why only the top [-] teams are accepted?" He dipped the handed-out towel into water and wiped off the blood on his face, "This is putting pressure on everyone, how many times did they slow down by a second in the previous games?" The team that was wiped out? We were so lucky today that we found a waterway that was not marked on the map, do you think there will be such a good opportunity in the future?"

"Every minute, every second here, you have to go all out."

It was already afternoon when the top 800 teams arrived, and the instructor gathered everyone to start the first round of shooting competition: 25-meter moving target, five bullets, five points for each hit, [-] points in total , no points for no hits but no points deducted.

This session is for those contestants who have only a few points left to breathe. After all, they are all eliminated at once, and the competition is not as fierce as it was at the beginning.

Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang naturally scored all 25 points. The two currently have the highest scores, both above [-]. Their names are marked in red by the system and displayed on the screen at the meeting point

This is indeed too eye-catching, and many people have already started to discuss whether to get rid of the two of them first.

After all, there are points for sounding the contestant's siren. In this highly competitive environment, no one wants to end early.

Everyone knows the reason why a big tree attracts the wind. Ye Xiu naturally took this into consideration. However, in this kind of competition, there is usually no communication between teams. Everyone is an enemy, and anyone who falls will benefit. , so no one will form a clique here. Thinking about it this way, the situation will be better than the previous audition.

Since the next day's project has not yet been announced, even Ye Xiu can't come up with any practical and useful solutions, so he can only take one step at a time.

On Sun Xiang's side, after experiencing the initial nervousness, excitement and luck, he gradually calmed down and simply started doing push-ups in the tent.When Ye Xiu came back with two packs of dry food, he saw his teammates lying on the ground sweating profusely and panting.

"Take a rest, you will feel better tomorrow." With a helpless smile, he handed over the food in his hand, used his teeth to tear open his share, and said vaguely: "Eat enough, the first day can be regarded as enough." The most practical thing is that tomorrow will only be half of what it is today."

Dry food is very astringent, and it is easy to choke if you eat too fast.Panting for breath, Sun Xiang slowly chewed the dark chocolate in his mouth, the bitterness mixed with the mellow aroma of cocoa beans spread between his lips and teeth, more or less replenishing his calories.

He licked his lips reminiscently, then raised his bright black eyes to stare at Ye Xiu, revealing his glistening teeth.

"I checked the score list just now, and we are both number one." In fact, Sun Xiang was five points higher than Ye Xiu, but in his opinion, those five points were shared by the two of them, so they didn't count.

Ye Xiu laughed: "What are you so happy about? Do you understand that a big tree attracts the wind? Do you know that many people have already started thinking about us?"

"Let them let them come here... I don't think the few today are enough!" Sun Xiang laughed a few times, and began to gear up excitedly, "There is a point for sounding the sirens of the contestants, right?"

"Come on, don't be too greedy, it will be good if you have one hundred points left after the round tomorrow." Ye Xiu patted him, "Don't practice today, take a good rest."

Sun Xiang hummed, packed his things and lay down. Ye Xiu was sleeping next to him. The two of them faced each other in the dark. They couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but they could feel the familiar aura of each other.

Now their situation can be said to be the enemy, but Sun Xiang feels at ease.

Because Ye Xiu was always within his reach, this was also the first time that Sun Xiang felt that he was truly side by side with this person.

He's happy because it's exactly what he needs.

Although there are other ideas besides this...

Drowsiness gradually came over, and Sun Xiang closed his eyes in a daze.

A night without dreams.
