Chapter 255 Parting Ways

"Captain, you..."

The group received no response, and with time running out, Xiao Li had no choice but to step forward. He asked the team leader, who had his back to them, again.

However, the other party did give a response, but it made Xiao Li's blood seem to freeze in an instant.

Xiao Li couldn't help but take several steps back before he could barely steady himself.

"...Change course, two degrees southeast, 0.3 kilometers ahead," Holly said coldly.

At this point, Xiao Li dared not say anything more. If before he had only admired and longed for the other person, now he undoubtedly felt a sense of fear towards the young man before him.

He had known Holly for nearly ten years. They had studied and taken exams together since childhood, entered the same secondary school together, and seen each other countless times.

Proud, arrogant, conceited, and wicked, he also has a human side, and even a tender side. Xiao Li witnessed the other's awakening in childhood, followed him from the time he gradually became wild and confident in his childhood, and finally watched him grow day by day into the almost impeccable young man he is today.

That's why Xiao Li was so devoted to this boy who was even a few months younger than him.

But he had never seen Holly like this before.

In Xiao Li's memory, the other party always had a confident and arrogant demeanor. He was clearly just an ordinary child who grew up in a greenhouse, but he was born with a fighting spirit that could only be honed in the crucible of war. It was an aura that came from his very bones.

When Xiao Li was just a child, he was immediately captivated by the other person. Even though the other person didn't seem to want to make friends, he kept pursuing him and has followed him ever since.

Could someone like Holly be wary of others? He looked at others and realized that such a flickering fire could also be seen in their eyes…

Just now, the other party glanced at him, looking through him into the void, exuding unparalleled coldness and sharpness.

Shawn didn't dare ask any more questions, but urged the others to head in the direction Holly had pointed. Even though they didn't know where that direction led.

"They're here," Huan Xian reminded him again.

"Hurry up and go. As agreed before, we will head over there as soon as we are ready."

"Alright, don't worry about me. Huan Xian is here, what are you afraid of? You two better stick close to Clarence," Jiang Hui said helplessly.

Hillman wanted to say something to Huan Xian, but Zhou Xiuwen grabbed him and walked away, leaving only the words, "Be careful."

Clarence glanced at the two men in front of him, said nothing, and after a while slowly turned around and followed, trailing far behind Hillman and Zhou Xiuwen who had already run quite a distance.

"Clarence," Jiang Hui called out, "I'll leave those two troublesome guys to you."

The man paused for a moment, then quickly caught up again, gently stroking the machine gun strapped to his back: "Of course I don't want those two to be a burden."

That's... They're all teammates, why don't you just say you'll protect them? But given Clarence's almost arrogant personality, it's already difficult for him to say something like that.

Yeah.

It may be harsh to say this, but it's the truth. Once Zhou Xiuwen and Hillman leave, Holly will have one less opening to attack them, allowing her and Huan Xian to focus on their next plan. And with Clarence by their side, Hillman and Zhou Xiuwen's journey should be exceptionally smooth – certainly much easier than theirs.

Now there's only one thing left: she and Huan Xian need to complete their objective as soon as possible and catch up with them.

After instructing his three teammates who had gone ahead, Jiang Hui and Huan Xian exchanged a glance and quickly moved towards the slightly taller bushes nearby, waiting for their prey to arrive.

This time they're going to pull off a big deal.

'Where do we go next? We'll be completely off track from L11...' Mu Kun muttered. The atmosphere in the group was really strange, and she didn't want to provoke the Great Demon King, so she could only complain to herself.

She really didn't understand why Holly had brought everyone here...

Although we missed the chance to fight those cowards one after the other, it's a fact that has already happened, and there's nothing we can do about it.

In Mu Kun's opinion, they shouldn't dwell on it anymore; finding a suitable place to recharge was the top priority. After all, in order to chase those elusive creatures that could hide like gophers, they had been constantly on the move except for the time in L7. Not only had they not recharged much energy, but they hadn't even hunted many prey. When she first refreshed the leaderboard, she saw that several of her positions were almost falling behind.

Mu Kun just hoped that when the leaderboard refreshed later, she wouldn't be pushed down to the next position. That's just how realistic she is; her goal was to be in the top five of the military category, and she wasn't particularly interested in fighting against stronger opponents. Although she had followed Holly's arrangements all the way here, she actually had some reservations in her heart.

But would Holly consider what other people think? Obviously not.

Since the team was formed, all the members have witnessed the captain's abilities and are also aware of his strong personality. Once he makes a decision, not even ten Hoshino rhinos could sway him.

Xiao Li glanced at Mu Kun, knowing she harbored resentment, but didn't intend to say anything to her. She simply continued to diligently serve as the vanguard of street sweeping.

Holly, who was at the front, suddenly let out a cold laugh. The group felt a strong gust of wind sweep past their feet and were caught off guard, tripping and falling to the ground. Then they heard Holly whisper an instruction for them to take cover in the slightly taller bushes to the side.

The group, in such a disheveled state, hid in a relatively secluded area.

The group were all skilled in offensive maneuvers, and they realized there were ambushes lurking in the shadows without Holly needing to remind or explain anything.

Mu Kun, who had just been complaining, changed his mind and frowned as he was about to release his mental energy to check the surrounding situation, but Holly pressed down on his arm: "Don't move!" Mu Kun was also an A-level mental energy like him.

The young man with dark eyes cautiously looked around, holding his breath. He neither released his mental energy nor recklessly used his weapon, but simply remained silent... as if sensing something extremely subtle and hidden.

Mu Kun and the others were unaware, but Holly could sense an unusual aura gradually approaching, faint yet undeniable.

The aura silently lingered around them, exploring as if gathering some information.

He could feel that when he came into contact with the mental energy field emitted by the people around him, he would suddenly become stronger as if he had received some kind of power replenishment. Then, strand by strand, he would mix into the complex mental field, tightly binding and getting thicker and thicker, and finally forming a knot like a mental energy mark, connecting with their magnetic field.

The boy's eyes suddenly narrowed.
