#545 - Chapter 544 Hunting Game
At the middle-aged man's request, the six of them lined up in three rows of two, quietly following behind him. Li Chenqiu and Zhang Pin were at the back of the line.
The former was intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the life detection device not far away, while the latter was rolling his eyes, secretly sizing up the soldiers on guard.
"When we get close to the gate, just stare at the back of the heads of the people in front of you. Don't laugh or talk, understand?" the middle-aged man said without turning his head.
"Yeah."
"Okay."
"Got it."
The six of them responded sporadically.
"Forcibly breaking in or sneaking in secretly isn't realistic. If I want to see Zhou Tengfei in a short time, this is the only way, but this life detection device..."
Li Chenqiu's heart sank, and the dark clouds gathering between his brows showed that he hadn't thought of a solution.
Distance wouldn't lengthen because of Li Chenqiu's anxiety, it would only shorten with the passage of time. The group of seven finally walked to the gate.
Just as Li Chenqiu was about to take a gamble with "Blood Bewilderment", the middle-aged man kept walking and placed the identity bracelet on his wrist on the sensor next to him.
With a "beep" sound, a small opening appeared in the protective shield in front of them.
The group followed the middle-aged man and stepped directly into it.
Li Chenqiu: (⊙ˍ⊙)→(●'◡'●)
"That Zhou Tengfei really thinks things through!"
Li Chenqiu was overjoyed, but his expression was calm and there wasn't a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Led by the middle-aged man, the six of them passed through buildings, past a rockery in the middle of a lake, and walked along a winding path filled with greenery, arriving at an undeveloped dense forest area.
After leading them to the base of a thick tree, the middle-aged man turned to them and said, "Wait here, don't wander around, or you might lose your little lives."
After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared, leaving the five of them looking bewildered.
"Huh? He just left like that?"
"He brought us to this broken forest, didn't explain anything, and just left. Is this guy crazy?"
"Zhou's hospitality is too poor. We are students of the War College, at least they should find us a place to sit and pour us some water!"
"What do we do now? Just wait here?"
"What else can we do?"
The students' faces fell, and they looked displeased, except for Li Chenqiu.
He crossed his arms, leaned against a tree, drooped his head, and squinted his eyes, seemingly dozing off, but in reality, he was secretly sensing the different strengths and distances of the domain auras.
"One Twelfth Restriction, four Eleventh Restriction, is the Zhou Clan's financial strength that strong? A residence that isn't even the headquarters actually has a Twelfth Restriction powerhouse stationed here!
In this situation, it's a bit difficult to kidnap Zhou Tengfei silently and take him away, and if I'm exposed, I don't have any backup measures. If Huang Ping were here, it would be great!"
Thinking of Huang Ping, who could control other people's corpses, Li Chenqiu couldn't help but feel a bit of sorrow and regret. If he were here, everything would be much easier.
At this time, Huang Ping didn't know that his master was missing him. He was tirelessly shouting "Yamete", and in addition, he had learned a new word—Baga!
After waiting for a long time, a series of messy footsteps came from a distance. The group looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with an extraordinary bearing walking slowly towards them.
Behind the young man, there was a group of people wearing uniform suits, each carrying a large box, not knowing what was inside.
This young man was the Zhou Tengfei that Li Chenqiu had been thinking about.
"Brother Teng!"
The moment they saw Zhou Tengfei, the displeasure and dissatisfaction on Zhang Pin's faces disappeared, and they rushed towards him. Li Chenqiu was no exception.
He didn't plan to attack Zhou Tengfei yet, because he hadn't thought of a foolproof plan yet, and planned to see how things went first.
"Brother Teng, we were so bored the past few days you weren't at the college. Even drinking wine wasn't fun!"
"Yeah, Brother Teng, when are you coming back? Give us a definite date!"
"The brothers are waiting for you to come back and take us to have fun again!"
Everyone said at once, crowding around Zhou Tengfei, their enthusiasm as if they had met long-lost brothers.
"I'll be back around the 20th, just over ten days. I knew you guys would be bored during this time, so I invited you here to have some fun!" Zhou Tengfei said with a smile.
"Brother Teng, what's fun about this broken forest?" someone asked with a puzzled expression.
"The forest isn't fun, but with these things, it'll be fun!"
Zhou Tengfei smiled mysteriously, pushed away the lackeys in front of him, walked to the open space under the big tree, and waved to the servants behind him: "Put them here!"
The servants put down the boxes in their hands and silently retreated to the side.
Li Chenqiu pointed to the box and asked, "Brother Teng, what is this?"
Zhou Tengfei didn't speak, squatted down, used his finger to flip open the buckle, pushed it up, and opened the box.
Several people gathered around and lowered their heads, casting curious glances.
A black helmet with a cold luster, black clothing with regular patterns on the surface, and high-top black tactical boots were neatly stacked in the box. It was a set of An Tong Si combatant's combat uniform.
"Combat uniform?" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhou Tengfei with his head tilted: "Brother Teng, what are you preparing this for?"
"Naturally, it's for you to wear. The game later will have a certain degree of danger. With the protection of the An Tong Si combat uniform, nothing unexpected will happen," Zhou Tengfei explained.
"Danger? Brother Teng, what exactly are we going to do later?" Zhang Pin felt a little uneasy.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Zhou Tengfei dismissed the idea of keeping them in suspense, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "Later, we are going to play a hunting game in this forest!"
"Hunting game!"
"Great, hunting in the forest, it sounds interesting!"
"Brother Teng, are there wild animals in this forest?"
Everyone looked excited and eager to try.
"There are no wild animals in this forest, and what we're going to hunt is me and my friends. You guys are the hunted, isn't it interesting?" Zhou Tengfei spread out his hands, his expectant gaze sweeping across every face.
But the only response he got was the chirping of birds.
A hint of displeasure flashed between Zhou Tengfei's eyebrows: "Why aren't you talking? Do you think this isn't fun?"
Zhang Pin's Adam's apple rolled slightly, a blank expression appeared on his face, and he stammered, "Brother Teng... do you mean we are the prey, and you and your friends are the hunters?"
Zhou Tengfei nodded: "That's right, what's the point of hunting wild animals? Wild animals are so stupid, how can they be as smart as people?"
