America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 86: The underlying logic of the protagonists?

"Victoria, don't you think their team's actions are very similar to American horror movies?"

Seeing the two girls greet each other and then start looking again, Li Xiaoen couldn't help but turn his head and say something to Victoria.

"An American horror movie?"

Victoria turned to look at Li Xiaoen in confusion. After a moment's hesitation, she finally realized what was going on and rolled her eyes. "You're overthinking it. It goes without saying that horror movies are all made up for exaggerated effect. Even if they existed, they wouldn't happen on this plain."

Seeing Li Xiaoen lost in thought, Victoria suddenly found it a little funny. "Besides, in the movie 'Final Destination', there are all kinds of people who died tragically while walking on the street. Why don't you walk?"

"That's not how it works."

Li Xiaoen spread his hands helplessly. "You said the two girls didn't have a whistle for help. What if they walked out of this area and got lost, and their cell phones had no signal, what would they do?"

"We can call for a rescue plane, and this forest isn't very big. We can walk in one direction for half a day and eventually get out."

"So, you really don't mind the trouble?"

Li Xiaoen's expression turned strange. Is this how Americans think? This kind of insensitivity is cultivated by the extremely abundant resources in daily life.

But what he saw was that some young people like Daniel could not even afford a thousand dollars, not to mention other people at the bottom of society working in the service industry.

"What you said makes sense."

Victoria finally nodded, then called Seraphina over and gave the two girls a satellite phone from her backpack.

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but glance at Serafina. The farm didn't prepare a satellite phone for this simple hiking activity, so the only possibility was that the other party brought it herself.

In this respect, Seraphina, a true American, has a calm, cautious and steady side.

"I'll tell you."

Noticing Li Xiaoen's gaze, Seraphina hummed softly and tilted her head back. "Just in case, I have another one in my backpack. Not only that, I also have some fire sources for warmth, and enough dry food for our team for three days."

"Even if we get lost in the woods, we can easily wait for rescue for three days."

"There's no need to say that."

Victoria couldn't help but roll her eyes and interject.

"I found it!"

Sufeil's surprised voice was heard not far away. Everyone turned around and saw her holding a branch and picking up a piece of soil from the ground under her feet. The soil fell to the ground, flashing a little light.

That place was exactly the ground they had walked on and even stepped on when they came here.

"Well done Sufir..."

Seraphina shouted excitedly, moving closer to Victoria to take a look. "With this badge, our team is already at seven points!"

As the name suggests, this badge scored four points. Considering how hidden it was, the distance to the highest score of five was perhaps only the distance to the farm.

Shifting his gaze, Sufeil gave him a contemptuous smile.

"..."

This woman really refuses to lag behind others in any aspect, even in this kind of game.

Li Xiaoen complained in his heart. Compared to the others who were still worrying about other things, Sufeil started searching intensively as soon as they arrived at the destination.

Li Xiaoen raised his foot and walked to the right of the fork in the road ahead.

"Let's go, next one."

"Eh……"

Seeing this, Seraphina quickly shouted, "Follow the planned route. There's a fork in the road here. How can you act on your own?"

"This is the planned route. I always pay attention when I look at the map and don't just focus on what's in front of me."

Li Xiaoen continued walking without slowing down, and replied leisurely, "Just like at this second location, I won't stare at the bark of the roadside tree for a long time like I did at the first location."

"This guy..." Seraphina gritted her teeth, looking at the tall figure of the young man walking leisurely in front of her. She clenched her fists in anger, her chest heaving and her breathing becoming rapid.

"After this event, I'm going to find him at the karate gym!"

Turning around, Seraphina looked at the other three girls and said something harsh, as if this would help her relieve the anger in her heart.

Sufeil: “…”

"If you ask him out, he may not agree."

Reacting quickly, Sufeier raised his leg and followed Li Xiaoen's pace. He passed by Seraphina and handed the badge to her. "Besides, even if you agree, you may not get what you want. Give up."

"If he won't agree after the event, I'll cause trouble for him now!"

After saying this harshly, Seraphina took a deep breath and followed.

Falling last, Victoria stared at the young man in front of her for a long time and sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, even with early prevention, she still couldn't change anything.

The group left one after another, and the two girls who remained there looked at each other.

"Their team is so strong and there are so many of them. If we continue to fight with them, we won't be able to get a single badge."

"How about we change our plan and take another route?"

After a brief conversation, they made a decision and walked towards another fork in the road.

……

"Has the treasure in this place been searched and taken away by other teams in advance?"

In another place, in an open space similar to a logging site, Seraphina looked around and sighed in distress.

"Sean, what do you think?" She turned around and asked Li Xiaoen casually.

"If you want to ask questions, please use a better attitude so that others will be happy to answer, Miss Seraphina." Li Xiaoen advised patiently.

"This is a team activity, you're also involved!"

Seraphina showed no sign of coming to her senses. She looked at Li Xiaoen and emphasized, "Isn't it every member's responsibility to contribute to the team?"

"There's something wrong when these words come out of your mouth, Americans."

Li Xiaoen didn't know how to describe his thoughts for a moment. After all, in the federal system of America, when states encounter disasters, few other states will take the initiative to help with rescue. Even the entire federal government has openly said that they are not responsible.

"Ok."

Li Xiaoen sighed and looked around. "There are too many signs of human activity at this logging site. It's almost impossible to see any signs of burial. There are many roads leading here, so we can't rule out the possibility that other teams have taken the land ahead of time."

"In summary, instead of wasting time here pursuing an illusory possibility, I think we can move on to the next location."

"..."

"Is that all?" Seraphina asked subconsciously.

"I agree with Sean."

Victoria, who was sitting on a tree stump on the other side, spoke up, and was soon echoed by the two Suffield girls.

"Okay, after democratic decision, let's go."

Li Xiaoen looked at Seraphina and smiled, causing her to squint her eyes for a moment.

"I'm a little tired. Can I sit down and rest for a while?"

Suddenly, Victoria called out again.
