National Destiny Delta: A single flower blooms, and everyone is bathed in warmth.

Chapter 384 What a loyal and devoted person he is!

"who?!"

Dick's heart skipped a beat the moment he saw a figure suddenly dart out of the corridor.

His finger quickly slipped onto the trigger.

His eyes widened immediately upon recognizing the other person.

"Song Rentou?"

"Don't shoot, your own!"

Without thinking twice, Dick quickly pressed his hand down.

He truly hadn't expected that Song Rentou would actually come back alive!

"Captain Dick, you've finally arrived!"

Before he could speak, Lin Ling immediately turned the tables and accused him.

"We've been holding out up there for so long, why haven't we received any support?!"

No matter how ingenious a lie may be, it will always have flaws.

What I need to do is prevent them from having the energy to pay attention to this vulnerability!
"Uh"

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed in Dick's eyes.

Immediately, he quickly made up an excuse to get away with it.

"The situation is rather complicated. There's no tire track on this terrain, so it's not easy for us to force our way through."

After all, it was he who gave the order not to provide assistance.

It would be better if there were no survivors inside.

But now that Song Rentou has actually returned alive, the situation is a bit awkward.
"By the way, what exactly happened inside?"

Seeing that "Song Rentou" was about to complain, Dick quickly tried to change the subject.

"Why are you the only one who survived?"

You should know that both of the people from the Sakura Kingdom died inside.

How did Song Rentou survive being ganged up on by three people from the Dragon Kingdom?

It's strange that a single bee doctor has been holding off a full-strength trio for so long.
"Back then, Captain Mei Chuan went to inform you that the president of the Dragon Kingdom wasn't there, right?"

Turning his head to glance at Mei Chuan Qiu Ku beside him, Lin Ling began to use the excuse he had already made up.

"Actually, Lin Ling and the others never left; they were hiding inside the CEO's office!"

"As soon as Captain Mei Chuan left, people from the Dragon Kingdom emerged from the CEO's office!"

"Caught completely off guard, Hiroshima-san and Takamaru-san were killed instantly!"

"I happened to be hiding in a corner, which is how I escaped this disaster!"

After saying that, he pointed to the door that had been opened for the president.

This explanation can cover most situations.

However, there is still one major loophole.
"Hiding in a corner?"

Sure enough, Dick frowned after listening.

"Dragon Kingdom, we couldn't find you there?"

Logically, after taking down two people, a normal team would search for the third person.

If the team doesn't get wiped out, it means the opponent might revive.

All the previous efforts would be in vain.

Besides, the CEO's office is only so big.

No matter how well Song Ren hid, it was impossible for him to escape the search.
What's more, Luna is in the Dragon Kingdom's team.

Although Luna's ability to gather information indoors is not as strong as Hazha's, the range of her reconnaissance arrows is enough to cover the entire CEO area.

"So, I ran away!"

Noticing the confusion on his face, Lin Ling patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Luckily, the Dragon Kingdom was tied up with the bots. I took advantage of their opportunity to clear out the bots and quickly used smoke grenades to block the way, which allowed me to escape from the hail of bullets."

Fearing they wouldn't believe her, Lin Ling casually threw her armor on the ground.

"Look, my nails are all torn to shreds!" "Hmm."

After glancing at the tattered bulletproof vest on the ground and then at Lin Ling, who was covered in abnormal statuses, Dick's doubts finally dissipated.

The logic is sound, the reasons are all plausible, and it is indeed very much in line with the development of the situation at that time.

Aside from not having seen it with my own eyes, it seems to be true.
"Let me check your ID card."

After nodding, Dick walked to the box on the ground and reached in to pull out the identity tokens scattered in the corner.

A string of words suddenly appeared.

【3025年12月1日18时22分23秒，龙国参赛者“林零”用M14精确射手步枪在航天基地绝密行动中击败了樱花国参赛者“广岛原子”.】

【3025年12月1日18时22分26秒，龙国参赛者“林零”用M14精确射手步枪在航天基地绝密行动中击败了樱花国参赛者“左高丸藤”.】

"So they really did check the ID card?"

Seeing this, Lin Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had anticipated this situation beforehand.

Therefore, M14 was specifically used to replace Hiroshima Atomic and Satakamaru Fuji.

After all, no one can be killed by a melee weapon while in a gunfight.

"It was indeed Lin Ling who did it."

Dick nodded as he looked at the words on his identification tag.

Everything clicked.

However, he still had a question in his mind.

Why were all four of these people killed by Lin Ling?
Logically speaking, if it really is a sneak attack, then to ensure the success rate, the best way is for one person to deal with one person.

One of those two people should have been killed by the other members of the Dragon Kingdom team.

But now, the killer listed on the identity card is Lin Ling alone.
"Could it be that Lin Ling hates him so much that he deliberately saved up to do it himself?"

After scratching his head, Dick could only think of this one possibility.

The feud between the Dragon Kingdom and the Cherry Blossom Kingdom is common knowledge.

It belongs to the kind of hatred that makes one wish they could devour its flesh and drink its blood.

This makes sense why Lin Ling took action himself.
"I didn't realize that Lin Ling, this newcomer, is so patriotic."

Having pieced together the entire logic in his mind, Dick put the identity card back into the box.

In retrospect, Song Rentou's ability to make it out was indeed a matter of chance and sheer luck.

In order to return alive and report the information, he practically teetered on the brink of death!
What a loyal and devoted person!

"Do you know what the Dragon Country team is up to right now?"

Having dispelled all his concerns, Dick also lowered his guard and looked up at "Song Rentou" in front of him.

As the last person to have contact with the Dragon Kingdom, he is the most likely person to know the Dragon Kingdom team's current movements.

"When I was crouching in the corner, I overheard them saying they were going to search the dark room again."

Looking up as if recalling something, Lin Ling gave an uncertain answer.

Being too certain can arouse suspicion.

In a life-or-death situation, who would bother to remember what others say?

At most, it's just a subconscious impression.

"The Black Room?"

Upon hearing this, Dick's eyes lit up.

It's exactly as I predicted!
Most importantly, Fak and Hulk are not far from the Black Chamber!
Perfect! They can attack from both sides and trap the Dragon Kingdom in the dark room!

"Let's go! The Dark Chamber!"

Thinking of this, Dick suddenly raised his head.

His eyes, as he looked at the crowd, were filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"This time, we can really catch Lin Ling!"
