Chapter 251 Long-Range Shooting
This liquidity is almost abnormal, and judging from the timing of the second round of replenishment, it's about time. Most people have used up their first round of recharge quotas and are starting to wander around aimlessly...

They finally reached this peak point, which was also the most "dangerous" time for them.

"Martial law, there's movement." Huan Xian's mental energy instantly transmitted to the minds of the other four.

Huan Xian possesses exceptional abilities and is a commander, so the team members tacitly prioritize his intelligence and warnings.

Surrounded by a trench and the sandy desert that provided cover, the group of people, unable to see each other's faces, exchanged glances in mid-air.

They arrived at just the right time; they were so bored they were practically swatting flies, so this was a perfect opportunity to stretch their muscles.

R36, an ambitious squad.

They could be considered one of the earliest teams to form and survive. Many official teams that formed before or after them were eliminated, but they remained. When it comes to surviving in this training ground, this team has considerable experience.

Even though none of the five team members were in the top ten, the best performer was only ranked seventeenth, and the rest were almost all ranked outside the top thirties or forties.

But compared to their relatively average overall abilities, this team has great ambitions. They have persevered all the way through with their strong drive and collaborative planning.

They were unlucky; they found an energy point to settle in right away. And then, they encountered chaotic battles on the way to several other locations, making it difficult to escape.

After searching through several energy points, we finally found L4. However, the charging capacity of L4 was not high, only 40%, which was neither high nor low. Moreover, the surrounding area was full of dangers, so it was not a safe place to stay. It was neither worth keeping nor worth abandoning.

In addition, when they arrived at L4, the energy points also began to rotate, whether actively or passively, and the flow of people increased visibly, which made them think of something.

Just then, the situation in L6 and L11 changed drastically. The leaderboard that everyone was looking for was actually nearby, and their positions were so close... Wasn't this a perfect opportunity for them to stand out?

Although this change prevented them from settling down in L4, it led them to a different approach.

Since they can't even recharge smoothly on this day, why not go all out and do something big?

So, Captain Baker took the lead, and the group packed up and headed straight out of L4 towards Jiang Hui and his group.

They were smart enough not to think about directly attacking and wiping out Squad R186. After all, they didn't even consider who those guys were, or their rankings. Could their lineup possibly succeed?
But they weren't afraid of trouble either. So even though they couldn't directly confront Squad R186, there were plenty of other people who weren't thinking straight. Couldn't they move nearby and lie in wait to hunt down other people who weren't thinking straight?

It would be even better if we happened to stumble upon R186 squad clashing with various powerful opponents.

What they love most is chaotic battles. In the past, when there were many people in the training ground, they often took advantage of the chaos in the enemy squads to pick off the weaker ones, and they have gained a lot of experience in this area.

Of course, they weren't without their worries about being caught off guard. There were just too many powerful individuals out there, and getting close to them would inevitably be risky, and quite risky at that.

But they were already in the middle of a competition, with various forces vying for power, it was a matter of life and death. Danger lurked everywhere; how could they possibly be afraid of anything else?!
Who can guarantee that if they cower in the back and do nothing, they won't also encounter enemies who want to sacrifice their heads?
Like rowing against the current, if you don't move forward, you fall behind. They don't want to be the ones who fall behind.

So no matter how much you worry, it still comes in the end.

Perhaps it was their fighting spirit and enterprising attitude, coupled with a bit of luck, that actually allowed them to find a bargain.

Along the way, they encountered several small teams that rushed to the scene and captured them, making it part of their achievements. This was much more efficient than their previous wandering around the training ground.

As the hunt progressed, the group became increasingly engrossed in their hunt, neglecting their surroundings and unknowingly approaching the L11 area.

"Let's go back a little, that's about it," the team leader, Baker, reminded everyone. Their team hadn't captured a diffusing sand table, so they were using the most basic compass, which could only give them a rough idea of ​​the direction, and they had to figure out the time and distance themselves.

However, Baker came from the top class of the command department, and his mental strength and basic physical fitness were both quite outstanding. Moreover, he also had a special command-related ability: sensory connection.

This is a relatively common command ability among special-attribute commanders, which involves extending one's mental energy to the vicinity of the mental energy fields of each team member, and then utilizing each person's strength to obtain comprehensive information. Of course, the range he can extend must be among those who are open to accepting his mental energy mark; otherwise, forcibly extending it may result in a backlash.

Using this ability, Baker, along with the mental energy fields of the other four members of the team and himself, expanded into a vast mobile detection field, easily capturing mental energy fluctuations within a radius of two to three miles. Naturally, he could also roughly determine the location of nearby energy points.

It was this ability that allowed them to gain the upper hand in the chaotic battles and defeat their enemies with a single blow.

This time, however, they happened to run into their nemesis and hit a wall.

Although they didn't sense any active spiritual energy in the vicinity, they still felt uneasy. Beck wondered if they should call it quits while they were ahead... After all, there were several unpredictable teams lurking around here.

They were intent on snatching food from the tiger's mouth, but had no intention of actually confronting that group head-on, so it was pretty much over...

Just as the group was about to follow their captain's orders and leave...

"Bang—" A sound pierced the air from a great distance, breaking the tranquility of the area.

"?!" "Captain?!" "Captain, how are you...?"

The shot grazed Baker's left shoulder, missing his training uniform by mere millimeters.

However, the man who narrowly escaped the hit knew that the bullet hadn't missed; it was aimed directly at his chest. Because the shot came from an extremely far distance, he only had time to slightly deflect it by the time he felt it. Yet, in that split second, he still barely managed to stay within the range of the attack, demonstrating just how accurate the hidden shooter's aim was.

What's even more frightening is that within a range of nearly two miles that he currently perceives, he has not sensed any active spiritual magnetic field.

Urgent inquiries rang in his ears one after another, jolting Baker awake as if from a dream. His trembling lips shot out as he stood up abruptly, his mental energy surging, attempting to expand its reach in the surrounding area, as if urgently confirming something: 'Retreat, retreat quickly.'

In his haste, even the voice he transmitted through mental energy seemed to tremble.

The group realized something was wrong and quickly tried to retreat from the area, but it was too late.

PS: Please note that this is a competition with varying conditions and levels of difficulty. Different people are equipped with different resources to face different challenges, so everyone's thoughts and methods for dealing with enemies or difficult situations are different. It is not a one-dimensional competition.

Some people think Jiang Hui and her friends are too lucky, and I don't deny that. Of course, she is partly the "protagonist," but that's not the whole story. As the protagonist, it's inevitable that I would write about her experiencing numerous difficulties, growing, and encountering extraordinary adventures, because that's the essence of being a protagonist, and it's also the core of this book.

However, I hope everyone sees that Jiang Hui is not just lucky. She has more halo, luck, and abilities given to her by the author than others, but she also experiences more events and hardships than others. The things that happen to her and even what happens afterward are all inferred by the author based on her personality and growth trajectory, that is, "her" own choices.

Therefore, I believe Jiang Hui's success so far truly lies in 'choices,' rather than simply the author's arrangement. Sometimes, even the author cannot control the characters' actions, requiring constant revisions and reconstructions to create a more reasonable version. Jiang Hui, my protagonist, has worked very hard, and I have worked very hard too. I hope to receive more support from everyone.

The above is the author's brief discussion on character development so far, written for the little angels who want to read it, and also for my own reflection.

I skipped it because it was too long, haha, because even the author himself felt it was a bit incomprehensible after writing it.
