Ji You heard Shaun agree, and immediately burst into laughter, her eyes bending in joy, looking particularly innocent and harmless.

Shaun said: "But go later."

Ji You asked: "How much later?"

Shaun thought for a moment, appearing a bit uncertain, eyeing Ji You’s breathless look, and said: "10 minutes? 20 minutes?"

Upon hearing this, Ji You felt deeply touched. She leaned against the wall with one hand, while the other hand clutched her chest, moved, and said: "Class rep, don’t worry about me. I have a very famous nickname out there, called Ji Xiaoqiang."

Shaun: "..." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ji You chuckled and said: "Don’t laugh. I really do have such a nickname. People gave me this name because I’m like an unkillable cockroach. I am particularly resilient, and with strong willpower, I defeated my opponents and became one of the students participating in this competition. Trust me, I won’t die. Even if the enemy comes, I can drag them to death and still survive."

Indeed.

When you all die, I’ll still be lively.

Of course, Ji You didn’t say these words out loud, so as not to provoke Shaun.

Shaun was tall and burly, with a strong and muscular build. He extended his long, powerful arm and lightly gestured towards Ji You’s head, feeling as if he could easily crush her skull.

However——

This seemingly fragile and exceptionally petite girl actually had the courage to talk freely before him, without falling behind at all.

She was strong.

Probably not just boasting.

Thinking like this, Shaun said: "But you need to rest for a while before going out. I want you to understand that I am not a harsh class rep." He stopped Ji You from going out, not because he didn’t want to collaborate with the neighboring teams, but because he wanted to go himself for such an important matter, it absolutely couldn’t be entirely left to Ji You. But Shaun realized that his time was limited, he needed to wait for Jiang Sen and Wang Rumei, his teammates, to return from the enemy camp before discussing collaboration with other squads.

Thus, Shaun temporarily stopped Ji You’s action.

Under Shaun’s ’insistence,’ Ji You immediately showed deep gratitude, clutching her chest, she sincerely said: "Class rep, you treat me with such heartfelt kindness, rest assured, as long as I’m in the competition venue, I will do everything to help you!"

Shaun waved his hand and said: "It’s no big deal."

Then.

Shaun said: "You continue to rest, I have some things to attend to."

Ji You pretended to send him off, but Shaun stopped her, saying: "Rest well, recover soon."

Ji You: "Okay."

In the next second, Shaun didn’t linger, he turned to a nearby teammate and said: "Let’s go."

Soon.

Shaun’s group left the small stone hut, leaving Liu Jia and Wang Xin inside. The two boys scratched their heads, not knowing exactly what to do.

Ji You pouted and said: "You two don’t need to stay with me, go outside and see if there’s any help needed, be diligent and offer your assistance actively."

Liu Jia and Wang Xin thought for a moment and nodded simultaneously, Wang Xin said: "Ji You, can you take care of yourself after we leave?"

Ji You rolled her eyes and said: "Is my nickname Ji Xiaoqiang just for show? Don’t worry, I won’t die. Just give me a little more time, and I’ll surely recover."

Liu Jia was very worried: "But you suffered severe internal injuries..."

Ji You confidently said: "No matter how severe, in front of Ji Xiaoqiang, they’ll surely lose their dignity."

Liu Jia: "..."

Wang Xin said: "Well... should we go out to help then?"

Ji You waved them off: "Go, go..."

As soon as Liu Jia and Wang Xin stepped out of the stone hut, they noticed two people from Shaun’s team standing by the stone hut. These two boys were silent, not making the slightest sound, if not for Liu Jia and Wang Xin coming out and seeing them, they wouldn’t have known at all.

Liu Jia and Wang Xin felt relieved, glad they didn’t say anything confidential to Ji You, otherwise they’d be exposed on the spot.

Indeed, one must remain vigilant at all times.

These two boys were obviously sent by Shaun, one to take care of Ji You should she need help. The other was likely there to monitor. Thinking this through, just as Ji You reminded them, Shaun appeared to fully trust them, but still maintained basic caution. To completely gain Shaun and others’ trust, more time would be needed.

Considering this, Liu Jia stepped forward and said to Shaun’s team: "Hey, is there anything we can help with? We’re willing to try anything."

The two boys shook their heads but didn’t explain why.

Liu Jia didn’t show any displeasure, instead he said boldly: "Brothers, we’ll all be in the same squad from now on, so don’t be shy. For any task, leave it to us. Whether it’s carrying bricks, sweeping the floor, we can even perform a traditional northeastern duet if needed."

The two boys: "..."

When Liu Jia uttered these words, he was stunned himself, primarily because he never expected he’d say something like this someday.

This——

Being with Ji You, who’s a bit unpredictable and carefree, it seems one easily becomes like her.

Ahem...

Liu Jia raised his hand, scratched his head, quite troubled, and within the trouble, carried a hint of worry and said: "We’re mainly anxious."

Wang Xin was a bit calmer, not as jumpy as Liu Jia, he tried hard to maintain a serious expression. When Shaun’s team’s two boys looked over, Wang Xin said: "We want revenge soon."

"Exactly." Liu Jia remembered his own persona, then immediately gritted his teeth and said: "We want to attack the other side quickly, take care of them, so our teammates’ sacrifices won’t be in vain."

Upon hearing this, the two boys, who had always appeared indifferent to external affairs, solely focusing on their duties, suddenly asked: "Do you know who the commander of the enemy camp is?"

Liu Jia and Wang Xin both looked confused, Liu Jia said: "No idea, actually we aren’t even clear about the rules of the competition, only heard from the class rep that advancing relies on points."

With this, the two boys weren’t surprised nor did they suspect Liu Jia and Wang Xin were lying, as they themselves hadn’t figured out who the commander on their side was.

Without communication equipment, the entire camp’s communication and exchange posed a very serious issue. Students were adapting to the harsh environment and trying to change the situation.

Then.

Not far away, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Li Yun, Bai Hui, you two leave your tasks aside for a bit, come over to help set up the signal tower for the base station."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jia and Wang Xin’s eyes lit up.
