Astral Flower
Chapter 223: The Oasis
"Ah, let’s just hope Father will be able to do something...." Nan Xian Mu had no other choice but to hope that their father sees this scene.
Anyway, their father has been trying to pamper Nan Hua. He wouldn’t be happy to see someone trying to kidnap Nan Hua, right?
What he didn’t know was that Long Qian Xing coaxed Nan Hua to call him brother in front of her father in the past. And at that time, the two men had battled and caused quite a lot of commotion.
In addition, Nan Hai Yan was still away for mission and couldn’t see this scene.
If he was here, he would definitely feel the itch to pull Long Qian Xing to the field and have a hearty conversation once more.
...
<Long Qian Xing’s side>
Unlike the previous competition, this time they reached the oasis without any trouble. However, the found the small river that was heading towards the oasis and could guess that many other teams might be taking advantage of the river to check point in the oasis.
After all, there was no difference whether they were within the water or on the land when they checked in.
"Halt." Long Qian Xing stopped them from moving forward. There were already three teams there but no one checked in yet.
It seemed that two teams must have arrived at the same time and detected each other’s presence, maintaining the delicate balance. Thus, whoever stepped forward to take the checkpoint would be targeted by the others.
Now, there were already four teams including their team around the checkpoint.
"They’re very cautious," Tian Lou commented in a low voice.
Nan Hua looked at the surroundings and not feel that surprised. With the fact that there was only one check point, whoever stepped forward would be at the point of the gun. Unless they were stupid enough to put themselves forward to be targeted by everyone, they wouldn’t want to do it.
As for the previous competition?
There were two checkpoints, even if they were ambushed, it would just be half of the teams and not everyone. Not to mention, meeting midway or something like that which caused them to be eliminated.
In the end, the number of people who reached the end wouldn’t be that many and could still be dealt with.
This time, it was different.
They had to be cautious.
"What should we do?"
"Find a place to stay and ambush." Long Qian Xing looked around and then pointed at the hill beside the oasis. "East and One will stay there. I’m guarding."
"In that case, I’ll be heading to the bottom of the hill and prepare to fight against other people with Hand." Long Shi Yu nodded.
"It’s Handsome, not hand!"
"It’s the same," Long Shi Yu said lazily.
Long Qian Xing nodded. "Before the start of the gunfire, don’t attract attention."
"Don’t you want to be the one to make chaos?" Long Shi Yu asked, his mouth tugged to form a mischievous smile.
Seeing his cousin like that, Long Qian Xing rolled his eyes. "They’re more cautious than before because there’s no living target in front of them. Rushing forward will only make them notice us and put you in danger."
"Ah, it’s not fun." Long Shi Yu sighed but nodded.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at the hill in front of her. There were several sand hills and if she was not wrong, if she was to stay at the side and shoot, it would also produce the sound echo from other side.
In normal times, it would be hard to trick others because this was a relatively open area.
But if it was chaotic...
At this time, Nan Hua’s mind began to arrange several locations. The biggest problem was that she couldn’t do any test, so she had to calculate it inside her mind. Perhaps, this was the main reason why they were all tasked to learn about math and physics for hours and being tested.
It was indeed quite useful.
"Let’s go."
They all separated into two and Nan Hua stopped at the side of the sand hills, close to the top. "I’ll stay here."
"The vision here is not very clear." Qian Fei Liu looked at the distance and then at Nan Hua.
"It’s enough," Nan Hua replied.
"I’ll be at the top, then."
"Ok."
Nan Hua opened the large case and made the sniper rifle in swift movement. The case was not that long, so the gun would always need to be rearranged before use. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
For Nan Hua, who was familiar with gun, this process only took seconds.
Long Qian Xing watched Nan Hua’s movement and nodded. At this time, he looked into the distance and saw someone not far from them.
"Stay down."
"Um."
Nan Hua held her sniper rifle, closed the case and buried herself along with the case in front of her inside the sand. Only her face and part of her hand was left.
No one would be able to notice that there was a person over here.
The camouflage was perfect.
Long Qian Xing went down and jumped on top of another person who was there. The man was startled and about to fight back, but he failed.
With a slash, Long Qian Xing severed the man’s head.
Thud.

Long Qian Xing saw that there were several others. He swiftly moved and eliminated them one by one.
