Divine Doctor Mommy Is A True Big Shot-Chapter 507 - 508: The Ruthless Pact of Kings

The air, in an instant, froze.

Feng Bailing gazed at Wu Zhenzhen, a blaze of fury kindling in her eyes.

As a physician, Feng Bailing abhorred the disrespect for human life most of all.

In fact, she had started to suspect that morning that Wu Wanwan was not Wu Wanwan.

But it was merely suspicion since the one they had rescued from the fissure the previous night was the simple-minded Wu Wanwan, but the one before her now was Wu Zhenzhen.

If nothing had gone wrong, it must have been during her and Xia Xing’s investigation that morning that Wu Zhenzhen had switched places with Wu Wanwan.

From their appearances, it was indeed difficult for Feng Bailing to distinguish between the sisters Wu Zhenzhen and Wu Wanwan, as their builds and hairstyles were nearly identical, and although their temperaments differed, no one would notice after they disguised themselves.

Feng Bailing’s suspicions arose because of the wounds on Wu Wanwan’s body.

Wu Wanwan had been injured yesterday and also had a mild concussion, but when Feng Bailing checked her again this morning, nearly all her wounds had healed, and there were no signs of a concussion on her head, which meant she was not Wu Wanwan.

Wu Zhenzhen also seemed surprised; throughout their journey, Princess Consort Wu had proven to be far shrewder than she appeared, but that was about it.

Feng Bailing spoke gravely.

"Wu Wanwan is kinder than you. The fear in her eyes is real, but you are different. Even though your face shows fear when you see someone die or get injured, your eyes gleam with a bloodthirsty light."

"How preposterous!"

Xia Xing, enraged, was about to take action but was stopped by Feng Bailing.

"Now is not the time to fight; we need to think of a way to cross the river and conserve our strength."

Feng Bailing’s first aid kit did contain food and water, but she couldn’t take it out in front of so many people; they needed to think of a way to cross the river first.

As the leader from Chen Dynasty, Wu Zhenzhen’s strength was inscrutable. With fierce beasts in the river, if Wu Zhenzhen attacked too, trapping them from both sides, none of them would survive.

Fortunately, although Wu Zhenzhen had set a trap for them, she had no intention of physically attacking herself. After being exposed by Feng Bailing, she calmly walked to one side and observed with a detached wariness.

Seeing that the people who tried to cross the river had died, the substitute team members who had either not yet entered the water or had fortuitously escaped ashore were now terrified, none of them willing to cross again.

Someone suggested:

"Let’s go back, we shouldn’t have listened to their nonsense."

Other countries’ substitute team members, now despondently hating Feng Bailing and Wu Zhenzhen, and some even blamed Feng Bailing.

"It’s all her fault; if it weren’t for her calling us all here, we wouldn’t be trapped. I think they’re all in it together."

Many complained and prepared to head back.

The man-eating monstrous fish in the river lay motionless, biding their time.

They were temporarily sated, but everyone was acutely aware that this was only a temporary peace; having tasted blood, the fish would inevitably come ashore to devour all the remaining people once hungry again.

"Everyone, listen to me, we can’t go back. There’s only one path forward; we must find a way to cross the river."

Feng Bailing endeavored to calm everyone.

The reasons behind Wu Zhenzhen’s intent to kill them were momentarily put aside, but one thing was clear. From the earthquake to this river, everything encountered along the way suggested that it was all meticulously planned. Thus, going back would certainly not end well.

Wu Zhenzhen and her people intended to eradicate them all at once.

But at this moment, those people didn’t listen to Feng Bailing at all.

Wu Zhenzhen sneered.

"Princess Consort Wu, why bother wasting your breath? You’ve saved them more than once, but have any of them truly appreciated you? This is human nature, human nature is inherently evil."

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, Wu Zhenzhen, though young, had already seen through human nature.

The substitute team members who were just about to turn back took a few steps before stopping abruptly.

Someone pointed towards the river ahead and shouted.

"Look! There are more bodies floating on the river surface."

On the river surface, more bodies drifted by.

But this time, they were not animal corpses, but human corpses.

Some had recognized the bodies on the water; they were people who had rested with them in the camp last night and had chosen to stay at the old camp rather than leave with them.

They were all dead!

The group that had been ready to leave fell silent, exchanging glances. Someone snapped back to reality and roared at Wu Zhenzhen.

"It’s you! You killed them, you are a demon, why can’t you just leave us alone!"

The substitute team members were all agitated, even those from the Chen Dynasty, looking incredulous. They could never have imagined that Wu Zhenzhen, one of their leaders, would even kill their own.

"Shut up! A bunch of useless fools, what else can you do but make noise?"

Wu Zhenzhen’s head throbbed from the noise; she snorted coldly, her beautiful neck flashing a hint of ruthlessness.

"The weak deserve to die. You should have met the same fate as them, but because of Princess Consort Wu’s meddling, you lived a little longer. But it’s only a matter of time, soon you will all die. I’ve always said, the Competition Among Ten Countries doesn’t need so many people."

"You did this to eliminate us?"

Xia Xing was relatively calm when she suddenly asked.

"Finally, there are some smart people here. You think I want to kill you, but let me tell you the truth, all that you are facing is merely part of the Competition Among Ten Countries."

Wu Zhenzhen glanced at the terrified crowd, her red lips moved slightly, and she slowly revealed the terrifying truth.

Everyone thought that the Competition Among Ten Countries would officially start after reaching Qinghe City, but in fact, the monarchs of the Ten Countries had already agreed on an additional clause when they signed the treaty for the competition.

The Competition Among Ten Countries had started as soon as they left Chu City.

The competition has three rounds, each being an elimination round. The first round also being the first elimination round, had started during that earthquake.

The purpose of the first round of elimination was to weed out the weakest substitute team members first. Along the way, they would go through several checkpoints, and if they survived and found the main force, they would be considered to have passed the first round and become official team members.

Otherwise, the eliminated would pay with their lives.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.

The substitute team members were dumbfounded; they had never imagined that this would be the truth.

"You were not supposed to be here as official team members, to blame, it’s only your bad luck. Earthquakes are unpredictable; you were forced to walk together with these substitutes. I originally thought you would be eliminated when crossing the river. Anyone who drank the water, even if they passed the first round, would die, as the animal corpses in the water were infected."

Wu Zhenzhen spoke with a smile, her voice sweet and pleasant, but her words sent chills down one’s spine.
