1055: A Different Leader

A Different Leader

"Lay low, don't move," Monica said. "We are very lucky. There are no snipers around here. The ones on the other side are about to cause a commotion. You lay still. Move only when I tell you to."2

"Alright," Shen Qianshu said.

The abundant vegetation around the river covered her perfectly. As long as she did not speak and no one stepped on her, no one would even notice that she was there. Half her body was submerged in the water.

It was really chilly.

Maxi said, "Someone's here, your left side."

Shen Qianshu's heartbeat sped up. She lay even lower and did not move further.

Maxi said, "Front left. A hundred meters. A small team of five, 2 male, 3 female. There are no snipers. Hide well. There are no snipers. Do not fidget around."

Shen Qianshu said, "Okay."

In terms of military training, these 100 m was very fast. In a short time, they were very close to Shen Qianshu. The river was a small stream. It flowed in from the woods. forming a small lake. It was a circular lake that was about 200 square meters big.

The water was very shallow. If one stood up, it would not even reach their kneecap.

The shrubs in the surroundings were dense, and the aquatic plants were extremely beautiful.

"Be careful, it's a stream. Be careful of ambushes," a youth said.

The few of them were very serious and careful. They began observing both sides. Monica said, "Two of them have binoculars. If we aren't noticed, don't move. If you get noticed, you're on your own. It's 1 vs 5."

Monica and Maxi were in a tough spot to provide help.

Shen Qianshu could choose to either fight the five of them at once or run straight for their high stronghold.

If she ran up, it would expose the locations of Monica and Maxi.

If they were exposed, the sniper would not come here anymore.

"I'm so thirsty. Let me drink some water first."

One of the young girls squatted down to drink some water. The water from the stream was really cooling. After ensuring that there was no danger, the group of people stopped vigilantly to rest.

Monica said, "One of them has a communication device. Sis, do you see that tall boy? Right. It's him. The tall and ugly one. He has the device. If it is what I predict, all of them have formed small teams. They do not have enough communication devices, so one member of each team is in charge of communicating. If you have to fight the five of them, the first one to kill is him."

Shen Qianshu could no longer speak.

A young girl said, "How long is this hide and seek with them in the hill going to last exactly? Why don't they just confront us and fight us face on? I hate all this hiding and searching. How despicable. She clearly isn't worthy of winning the selection, and she's not suitable to be the next leader of the Black Rose."

Another girl said, "I heard that when Fang Hongxiu was in the selection back then, and she fought from the start straight to the end. She never stopped. In the end, even when she used up all her bullets and grenades, she used knives. It was a very cruel year. They used up all the gunpowder available on the map. In the end, they fought with melee weapons. This should be the way selection tests are."

"Shen Qianshu is not suited to be her daughter. Neither does she deserve to have the blood of the Black Rose flowing in her. She's too despicable."

Shen Qianshu nodded. She was proud of Fang Hongxiu deep down.

Her understanding of Fang Hongxiu all came from what she heard from others.

She heard that she was a very capable murderer.

She heard that she was really cold, cool, and calm. She did everything for the mission.

She heard…

And now, she heard that again.

She wanted to snap her fingers and tell them, "Hey, that's my mum. Isn't she impressive?"

"Every competition has its own rules. Did anyone say that they had to fight from the start to the end? Shen Qianshu chose another method, and there is nothing to blame for it. There's nothing to say about it."
