Why did you provoke me?

Upon hearing this, Jingyi and the others completely lowered their guard.

"How did you find us? We've never stayed in one place for more than two hours."

"Personal abilities are not disclosed."

"Tch, what's there to brag about?" someone in Jingyi's team retorted.

Si San San glanced back at him and said, "There's nothing to brag about, but my clothes are much better than some people's tattered clothes. Are those even clothes? They're all strips. But there's an advantage to them: they're cool."

"Say something sarcastic, anyone can do that." Jingyi remained silent; he was too tired to deal with such things.

Jingyi followed Sisansan for a while. There was movement in the woods ahead, and Jingyi grabbed Sisansan and immediately lay down on the ground.

Before Si San San could react, the distinctive sound of a tranquilizer gun rang out.

He turned to look at Jingyi, "This is how you spend your days."

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this," Jingyi sighed. "It's been like this ever since we left the dense forest. We're all used to it."

"Is it that exciting? Are you guys super strong now?"

"They've been beaten so badly they can't even lift their heads, and they still call themselves strong?"

Si San San looked around and said, "It's so dangerous, yet you haven't suffered any casualties. That's quite an achievement."

"I don't know if it's because we've encountered too much danger, but we can all sense danger, it's just that the distance is a little different," Jingyi said casually.

"Such good things happen, how come we never have encountered them?" Si San San said enviously.

The other side clearly knew they hadn't hit their target. But they didn't retreat; they just kept firing.

Si San San looked puzzled. "What's going on with them?"

"They've spotted a target, and they're using this method to notify their comrades."

"So we're just going to lie here like this?" Si San San asked, puzzled.

"If you don't lie down, try standing up. You'll just end up lying down again anyway."

"I mean, we're not going to fight back?" Si San San pointed to the gun Jing Yi was carrying.

"No need, they don't have many bullets. We'll just wait." Jingyi lay there steadily, without any intention of moving.

Sure enough, the noise stopped in less than five minutes, but Jingyi's team members still didn't move.

"And another one!" Jingyi said calmly.

Si San San was stunned. "How many ambushes did you have to go through to find the pattern?"

"Everyone was shot at least three times. Is that a lot or a little?"

"Then how come you..." Si San San didn't finish her sentence, but just gestured around with her hand.

"The first time, we were all terrified, but we were all blessed." Jing stretched out her arm, revealing a bracelet on her wrist that looked like an eyeball.

Si San San pointed at his wrist, "This thing can cure anesthesia? That's ridiculous."

Jingyi rolled her eyes at him. "You don't believe me? Fine, try standing up!"

Si San San pressed herself down even further. "Even if it were real, I wouldn't try it. Wouldn't it hurt if I got hit by that thing?"

Jing put his head on his hands and thought of his teammates. They were so silly back then; some people actually tried it out of curiosity.

Looking at him, Si San San asked, "Has anyone tried it?"

"Shouldn't we try it? In this situation, someone has to stand up, otherwise we'll all get beaten up."

"How about we charge over there now and capture them alive?" Si San San suggested.

"Okay, you go, we'll cover for you."

Si San San pointed to himself, "I'll charge? You'll provide cover?"

Jingyi nodded seriously, "They know us too well. They want to know about the dense forest, so they didn't use any lethal weapons."

Si San San shut up, and after a while said, "I'm just here to pick you up, I won't get involved in anything else."

With the sound of the tranquilizer gun gone, the space fell silent, save for the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Jingyi lay on the ground and closed her eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, a message came through Jingyi's communication bell.

After reading the message, he patted Si San San and said, "Let's go."

He stood up and patted the dirt off his clothes.

After a pause, Si San San stood up. "Resolved?"

"Okay, let's go."

433 didn't ask how it was resolved.

But before they could get very far, another wave of interception came.

Although there were no casualties, escaping was not so easy.

When they encountered the fifth wave of interception, Si San San sat on the ground and refused to move.

"At this rate, you can't shake them off at all. Both sides are holding back now and not going all out, but if another force intervenes, we won't be able to escape."

"I know, you have a way?" Jingyi lay exhausted on the ground.

Since entering the fourth battlefield, they haven't had a break at all.

"That dense forest isn't very big, and it's been severely damaged. Once the people there come out, you won't have a chance to escape."

"Tell me your solution?"

Si San San touched his wrist; it was the eyeball bracelet that Jing Yi had given him.

"We're looking for a forest, how about we create a dense, artificial one?"

Jingyi became interested. "You can do it?"

"Won't."

"Who would?"

"That scholar who never speaks and acts all high and mighty... he might be."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's ask!" Jingyi urged.

"Do you have what he wants?" Si San San asked, tilting his head.

"If he can help us get rid of these people, our team will find him what he needs," Jingyi promised.

"Okay!" Si San San didn't hesitate and immediately started the contact.

Jingyi stared intently at his communication bell.

"Alright. Let's go find him now. Let's hurry, he even gave us some advice." Si San San said with a big smile.

"What?"

He said, "You hang bracelets with strings and use them to pave the way."

Jing opened her mouth and said, "This will work."

"That's how Captain Yan Lei got dizzy. Let's give it a try."

The opportunity came quickly. When they sensed the danger, Line dragged the bracelet through the air close to the ground. This time, they didn't hear the sound of the tranquilizer gun.

Jingyi and Sisansan exchanged a glance, and it was settled.

Jingyi looked at Sisansan and said, "This method works. Why don't we just go out directly? Why bother with the fake stuff?"

"Only by attracting those forces to a certain place can we go far enough."

And so, Jingyi and her team disappeared under heavy surveillance, and no one ever tracked them down again.

The two teams met and shared what they had learned during this period. Jingyi became withdrawn.

He wished he could slap himself a few times, for making you so concerned about saving face, for making you unable to let go of your pride, and for making you suffer without any real hardship.

Look at Liu Wei's group; they're neatly dressed and equipped with top-notch gear. And each person's backpack is full of dry goods.

Look at them again, dressed in beggar's clothes, using someone else's tranquilizer gun with only a few bullets left, and their backpacks are just too cramped to even describe.

Liu Wei and his men suppressed a laugh. "When we exchanged supplies with this outpost, we brought your share too. We're all brothers, so don't be shy."

Jingyi and the others didn't say thank you; it was all just polite talk. They would find their own way to repay the favor once they got out.

But Liu Wei and his friends were very interested in the eyeball bracelet.

They tried it with several other groups of people, and it actually worked. Thus, they found a way out.

So, Jingyi sent a message to Secretary Wu.
