Chapter 110: Heads May Be Severed, Blood May Flow, But the Formation Must Not Be Disrupted

The next day, Escapade Island was indeed greeted with a bright sunny day.

When Lu Yuanhang opened his eyes, the members of the Vendetta Team had already finished their preparations and were huddled closely together, heads touching as they examined something.

His curiosity was piqued, and he carefully emerged from his sleeping bag, stealthily approaching the circle that seemed to repel him.

The muffled voices gradually became clearer.

Luo Wudi took a sip of wine, "On the last day, other teams will definitely be going all out. I propose fighting fire with fire; otherwise, the deadweight won’t stay quiet."

"How violent, Sis Hong? I can’t exactly beat him to death, can I?" Yuan Feng looked troubled. "It’s really hard to control the force."

Zhou Nan and Shi Hua Yi sighed simultaneously, "Maybe we should just let him roam freely."

"As long as we reach the finish line, it’s a win, even if he’s just barely alive."

Yuan Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up, "How about we knock him out and just drag him along?"

Everyone turned to Jian Li, "Brother Li, what’s your take?"

Jian Li smiled, his gaze sweeping over, "Let’s hear what he has to say."

Lu Yuanhang, already breaking out in a sweat and preparing to make a quick exit, suddenly found himself in the spotlight.

With a sheepish smile, he said, "Uh, how about letting me roam freely?"

"I promise I’ll stay alive, okay?"

"Or I could just pretend to be unconscious."

"Just don’t hit me..."

"Haha, trying to eavesdrop and ended up overhearing plans against me!"

"First time seeing bodyguards figuring out how to mess with their hostage. I really love this gangster-like vibe!"

"I just want to ask, can you be any more cowardly? Wanting to pretend to be unconscious and have others drag you along?"

"You really know how to conserve energy, don’t you?"

Clearly, the discussion didn’t reach a conclusion.

Lu Yuanhang finished his breakfast nervously, seeing the Vendetta Team with their backpacks ready to go, seemingly having no intention of knocking him out. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as he approached Yuan Feng, he noticed him raising his arm.

"No, don’t hit me!" Lu Yuanhang covered his head, "I can faint right away!"

Yuan Feng glanced at him, "Who said I was going to hit you? I’m just stretching."

"Such a coward, and you want to be a double agent?" Jian Li chuckled, walking away.

Lu Yuanhang didn’t catch it and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said you’re foolish! Not smart enough and still imitating others as spies?"

"Haha, no wonder the ancients said that keen hearing and sharp eyesight are important, as it turns out the seven orifices are interconnected."

As Jian Li led the team further into the center of the jungle after descending from the cliff, the director behind the monitors was tracking their path, and with one hand, gestured to his assistant. "What are the viewership ratings for each team?"

"Team Germany is first, Team China is second, and third is..."

"You mean Team China is second?" the director said in disbelief, cutting him off. "That doesn't make sense! Team UK should be second."

"Team Huá has emerged as a dark horse," the assistant explained with a smile. "Their aggressive fighting style from the beginning has attracted a lot of new fans, and their support rate has been soaring."

"Did the investors call you?"

"No, they haven't yet."

Just as the director finished speaking, his phone rang. He glanced at it, his expression shifting slightly, then stood up to take the call elsewhere.

"Don't worry, these are all rookies and pose no threat to Team Germany’s position."

"Is it really necessary to do this? It will look too obvious if we do."

"Alright, I'll think about it."

After hanging up, the director returned to his seat with a solemn expression and, after a moment of silence, said, "Notify all surviving teams to target and intercept Team Hua as they enter the target area."

"Director, is this really appropriate?" the assistant asked in shock. "This kind of behind-the-scenes interference has never been done before!"

"If we get reported, how can we run the next season?"

The director frowned. "The investors demanded it. You know how they operate, both above board and under the table..."

Though he didn't finish his sentence, the meaning was clear.

After a moment of hesitation, the assistant picked up the walkie-talkie.

---

"What did you say, clearly?" Luo Wudi leaned in his head.

"Speak more clearly, unlike Lu Yuanhang!"

Yuan Feng took a deep breath and leaned into Luo Wudi's ear, whispering.

Lu Yuanhang strained his ears, trying to listen, but heard nothing.

After Yuan Feng finished, Luo Wudi's face lit up with excitement. "There's such a great opportunity?"

"They're practically handing themselves over—"

Yuan Feng quickly covered Luo Wudi's mouth. "Brother Li said we should pretend we don't know about this!"

"What? What?! Are you starting to exclude me now?!"

"What exactly is going on? It's killing me not knowing! Are you planning a secret execution of Lu Yuanhang?!"

"If that's the case, there's no need for secrecy. You've already been openly messing with him!"

"Wait! Something's off! My contact in another sub-frequency just told me that the surviving teams are rapidly converging on Team Hua!"

"What are they up to?! Are they planning to besiege Guangming Peak?!"

"Hahahaha, the person upstairs is mixed up with another channel!"

The sudden situation caused the Hit Squad to gather together.

Covering the camera on his collar with one hand, Jian Li spoke in an extremely low voice, "Have you heard of guerrilla warfare?"

"Of course I have!" Lu Yuanhang interjected from outside, jumping up.

Yuan Feng spun around and quickly stuffed a towel into his mouth, taking the opportunity to pull down his camera.

"Wuu wuu wuu wuu—"

I won't say a word anymore!

Please give me another chance—

Lu Yuanhang crouched by the tree root, looking extremely wronged.

Jian Li glanced at him and then returned to the center of the group circle, continuing, "As I said before, be quick and decisive, engage in hit-and-run tactics."

"Always show up where the enemy least expects it."

"Any questions?"

The Hit Squad all gave the "OK" sign.

Jian Li nodded, "Remember your strategic positions. We can lose our heads and shed blood, but our formation must not break."

"Understood?"

The Hit Squad gave the "OK" sign again.

Jian Li was very satisfied and turned to Huo Xiao, "If we set the points record, will we really get a big feast tonight?"

Huo Xiao's eyes curved into a smile, "Absolutely."

"If the production team doesn't invite us, I certainly will."

Jian Li sneered, "With a production team that uses underhanded tactics,

"If we don’t take advantage of them, our trip would be for nothing!"

He stood up, lowered the hand holding the camera, and shouted in a carefree manner, "Don't let them wait,"

"Let's go!"

"What just happened?! Why are we leaving so early in the morning?!"

"From Lu Yuanhang’s perspective, the Hit Squad is absolutely awesome, those few steps went right to my heart!"

"One more shout—Hunting time has arrived—"
