The youth was frightened badly. He was confused as he broke out in a cold sweat.
The children quickly dispersed.
Mu Yuan said, “You have guessed correctly. She’s within the high wall.”
Ye Ling drew the map, and he knew the specific location. As long as he could convince the base and dispatch armed forces, it would be alright. However, Jack did not report. Jack said, “This is Black Rose’s selection ground. Since it is a guaranteed selection place, they will surely have countermeasures. If they are exposed, what will they do? If you were Black Rose and you had failed, what would you do?”
Mu Yuan and Ye Ling exchanged glances.
Ye Ling said, “Kill all the people.”
“You have also said that there are workers at the construction site. They are still building something. Then, we have to take precautions. Hence, we have to find the control room. If the Black Rose’s selection ground is within the high wall, the control room should be not far away.”
It was either in the small town or in the desert. As long as they found it and ensured that the people inside were safe, they could take action. It was also not appropriate to dispatch the armed forces on a large scale.
It was to prevent causing mass casualties.
Ye Ling said, “So when Ke Ben’s parents come back, we will substitute them to go in.”
…
Black Rose was in the monitoring room. She saw everything in the bushes. Whether it was the ruined city, bushes, or the desert, there were surveillance cameras. Moreover, they were in all directions. The surveillance cameras did not have any blind spots.
All the locations which they had ambushed were very clear.
Every red dot on the map represented one person. They had already formed a circle around Shen Qianshu, Monica, and Maxi. They had determined their location. However, no one took action.
They were waiting for Shen Qianshu to run out of ammunition and food.
Mo Er said, “It has been three days. No one has taken action. This is different from the competitions in the past years.”
In the past years, once they went in, it was a massacre. It was a “you die or I live” situation. It was extremely intense. Basically, within three days, there appeared to be an ending. Now, they had slipped into a deadlock.
“What’s the use of lying low like this?” The Black Rose said. “They are too cautious.”
Mo Er said, “This is also a tactic. The candidates in this round are very outstanding. Everyone is a good seedling.”
The Black Rose looked at the records and nodded her head. They were indeed good seedlings, but she was already getting impatient. She only wanted to have a result immediately. Mo Er said, “Why did you come over personally? It is too dangerous.”
“I am worried,” Black Rose said. “Ye Ling is already in Columbia. That mysterious major has already become suspicious. We have to get this done quickly and move to another place immediately.”
Mo Er said, “There are still seven days.”
Black Rose said, “It’s too long. The elders value this selection a lot and are also very dissatisfied. They are just lying like this, which does not meet our Black Rose’s usual style of doing things. What we want are Black Roses who dare to fight.”
Mo Er nodded his head. Black Rose said, “Activate the countdown.”
Mo Er’s face changed. Activate the countdown?
Black Rose said, “Go!”
“Yes.”
The countdown would be for two days. During the countdown, they could not control anything remotely. Everything was on each candidate’s watch. The watch was linked to a program on the computer.
If 48 hours had passed and there was still no result, the program would blow itself up.
When the program blew itself up, the ammunition set up in the watch would also explode.
The only way was to have a Black Rose appear within 48 hours after winning the competition. Or perhaps, someone could find this place and destroy the program. The watch would then be disabled.
