C56

Behind the slope was a rugged, flat road. However, the reason why the road was called flat was because the slope was actually horizontal. In fact, it was very rocky and had a lot of obstacles.

After going another forty to fifty meters, there was only a hundred meter tall cliff, and no other road.

The quaternary led by Wan Changrui had already been waiting here for a long time.

Back then, he had chosen this place as his defensive position because it held a geographical advantage that was difficult to defend against.

Compared to Xia Mang's group, they had gathered a lot of wandering warriors and other team members. In terms of numbers, there were about fifty of them, which was even more than Xia Mang's team.

"The target stopped at the bottom of the ramp. He didn't come up."

Wan Changrui said softly, "Looks like this Xia Mang is indeed like the rumors; his intelligence cannot be underestimated."

Just as he said this, a message came from the observation post in front of him, "The target has entered the tunnel."

"What?" Decentralized operation? "

Wan Changrui only thought for a bit and understood, he immediately said: "Very good, immediately get the ambush at the sides of the road and let the first line of defense in the forest to deal them a blow."

"Understood, captain"

On the steep slope.

The team led by Xia Mang and his was working hard to climb.

Suddenly, from the bushes on both sides of the slope, a group of ten or twenty men came charging towards them.

"Be careful, there's an enemy attack!"

Xia Mang shouted, and everyone reacted.

It wasn't easy for them to resist these stones, and they didn't even get a chance to breathe before another four thick and thick wooden logs were pushed down by the person on top.

"Not good, quickly dodge!"

Seeing that, Xia Mang was shocked.

Clearly, the opponents they had met this time were all different from the ones they had met before.

On the other side, there was a very mature setup as well as a division of battle tactics. This kind of enemy was the most terrifying.

The four logs had basically completely cut off the entire slope. It took them a great amount of effort before they managed to escape into the bushes beside them. However, there were still a few people who were hit by the logs because of their slow movements, and lost control of themselves and tumbled down the slope.

"First tier!"

A loud and clear voice came from the top of the slope. At the same time, a banner hanging from a tree branch was waved around, announcing the start of the attack.

In that moment, the team of ten who had suddenly appeared all of a sudden, with weapons in their hands, rushed towards where Xia Mang's team was hiding.

Their movements were clearly seen by the temporarily stabilized front combat teams, and they all rushed out to meet them.

In terms of fighting and offense, Xia Mang's group of elites were extremely confident.

However, just as they rushed out of the shrubbery, their opponent's following actions confused them once again. These people seemed to be frightened by the number and momentum of the battle squads in front of them.

As he ran, he yelled, "The number of enemies is unexpected. Hurry up and retreat!"

"Haha, you still want to run? Chase after him!"

Hearing the other party's terrified voice, Lin Xingyu excitedly shouted at his teammates: "Get rid of them!"

"Don't go, there's a trick!"

Xia Mang called out to them.

But Lin Xingyu and the rest still shouted as they rushed forward: "Squad Xia, don't worry, the other party is already afraid. Let me capture them alive."

"Don't go!"

Just as Xia Mang finished speaking, he realised that after the group of people disappeared down the slope, four or five huge round rocks appeared out of nowhere and rolled down.

"Dodge!"

Lin Xingyu and the others had already ran a distance away, so they were unable to control their movements. Xia Mang could only call for the rest of the people to hide in the bushes.

When he finally regained his senses and wanted to flee, he was already smashed in the front, and had lost his balance and fell to the ground. Many of them were miserably crushed by the rolling stones, vomited blood, had their bones shattered, and then tumbled down such a long steep slope while being seriously injured. They were already on the verge of death.

What was shocking was that there were two unlucky fellows who had their heads crushed by the rolling stones. The red and white objects uncontrollably flew out and died.

With the competition proceeding to this point, the murder case had finally appeared!

"Holy sh * t!"

The staff of the Sky Broadcasting Platform were all scared to the point of peeing their pants. They quickly applied a mosaic to the bloody scene.

At this moment, in the Armed Services Section of the Hall of Honor of the Anhuang City, Division Chief Yan Wenhua received an urgent report and came to the command center. After understanding the situation, he could not help but frown.

It had been so many years since someone had died in the wild, and now, he had truly run into one.

"Division Chief, what should we do now? The person is already dead. Should we immediately call out the rescue team?"

Yan Wenhua was under a lot of pressure, the current situation was very urgent, he did not have time to report twice, and only after considering for a long while did he make up his mind to issue a command, "The casualties are already within the range of the rules, and since a fatal situation has already occurred, unless one of the teams take the initiative to ask for help, we should follow the principle of not interfering in the normal competition between the two teams, and only clean up the corpses after the competition ends."

"But if that's the case, won't it cause panic and discontent among the people?"

The office staff said worriedly.

"Humph!" It was not like it had never happened before. Everyone had signed the casualty agreement, so naturally they had to be prepared for it! "Then let's do it this way."

Yan Wenhua said resolutely.

"Alright, I understand."

The staff immediately issued out the order.

Only then did Yan Wenhua rub his temples, and with distress, connected to the higher ups department, which was the boss of the Anhuang City's branch, Qian Kun.

Fortunately, after the latter heard this news, he also approved of Yan Wenhua's decision to deal with this matter.

The Wild Survival Competition was a competition that allowed for casualties. It should not ignore this rule just because no deaths had occurred in the past few years.

The organizers could only do their best to ensure the safety of the contestants, but they couldn't prevent the death of the contestants completely from happening.

The sudden tragedy had spread throughout the entire city.

Regardless of whether or not there were any citizens who were paying attention to this competition, they all knew about the murder case.

Any murder case could be considered big news in this peaceful Third Star, not to mention this famous competition, it would be even more of a topic for discussion.

All of a sudden, all sorts of intercepted videos were posted on the internet. All the major forums exploded and the popularity of the video soared as it drowned Xia Mang in it.

"This is going to be crazy. I think someone is going to cause a ruckus at the organizers' office."

"Causing a ruckus at the organizers? You think too much. At most, it would just be a discussion. Who would dare cause trouble in the Hall of Glory?

"This is very normal. There have been many deaths in the previous competitions, but since it hasn't happened for a long time, it has been treated as big news. Otherwise, why would they sign an agreement on casualties?"

"Yes, these were all voluntary."

"Don't say that either. The dead are the bigger ones, stop making sarcastic remarks. It's better to be more tactful."

Some expressed sympathy, some stood on the side of absolute reason, and of course, some were watching the show.

All in all, this bloodbath added a few more tragic colors to the match.

Because of this, the number of people who were paying attention to the competition also increased. In a short period of time, the flow of people also increased exponentially.

At the scene, even Xia Mang, as one of the people involved, felt his head spinning.

He did not expect that the charge would cost him so much. For a moment, he could not help but cover his head in remorse. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"

"I didn't stop them!"

Seeing that, Liu Xueqing frowned: "This cannot be blamed on you, it can only be blamed on Lin Xingyu and the rest for being too reckless."

"But I'm the captain, I have to take responsibility for them!"

Xia Mang raised his head, "Blood debt! Blood recompense! If I can't even protect my own team members, what's the point of being the captain! "

Hearing his words, Liu Xueqing was shocked: "What are you doing? However, if you kill them yourself, the consequences will be completely different. Although we signed the casualty agreement, there's a clear rule that says it doesn't need me to tell you to do it. "

Xia Mang nodded his head: "I know that I will be investigated for criminal responsibility and my results will be cancelled, but I am unable to watch my teammates get killed while I remain indifferent."

Liu Xueqing suddenly shook his head and said: "I originally thought you were the kind of person who was rather rational, but I didn't expect you to be like this too, truly disappointing."

"Do whatever you want. It's none of my business."

When the other team members heard this, they also advised, "Captain, this has nothing to do with you. Those people are the ones who reap the consequences. You don't have to blame yourself too much."

Hearing this, Xia Mang also gradually calmed down. He panted heavily and said with certainty, "To seek justice, one does not have to kill!"

Liu Xueqing then nodded her head: "This is the you that I am familiar with, a man must have a sense of responsibility, but he cannot be treated as an ignorant fool."

"I know, thank you, Xueqing."

Xia Mang turned and forced a smile at her.

"What did you call me?"

Liu Xueqing was startled, but when she regained her senses, her face instantly turned cold.

"Xueqing, is there a problem?"

Xia Mang repeated himself.

Liu Xueqing was startled, she thought that the other party would keep quiet when she saw her cold gaze, but she did not expect him to repeat herself without changing a word, she really did not know what to say.

At this moment, Xia Mang did not care that much and only raised his staff to say to everyone: "Let's retreat first, then we can discuss further."
