Chapter 450: Chapter 425: Blind Self-Confidence

Jiang Zhe wasn’t idle either, where there was one wolf, there would be another, and such a strong smell of blood here made it very easy to attract others.

She subconsciously felt around her body but didn’t find any chewing gum, so she put a grass stalk from her hand into her mouth and slowly chewed on it.

"You rest for a while, I’ll keep watch," Beifeng stood beside her.

Jiang Zhe didn’t pay attention to him but stood up, took a look around, and crouched down.

There were noises from the nearby woods.

Beifeng also quickly squatted down, back to back with Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe felt the warmth of someone approaching her but said nothing, letting him lean in.

Beifeng whispered, "I’ll take the lead in a moment, you provide support from the side."

"Why can’t I take the lead and you support?" Jiang Zhe retorted.

"You’ve just used up too much energy."

"And you look like you haven’t used up a lot of energy? Instructor, I’m nothing to you, you don’t need to sacrifice yourself to protect me, do you?"

Beifeng, hearing the slight mockery in her tone, knew she was angry.

Angry that he hadn’t admitted his identity, angry that he hadn’t made the situation clear to her upon their arrival.

Beifeng conceded, "Fine, you take the lead, and I’ll support."

He was determined to protect her, that was all.

No sooner had the two of them agreed on their plan than they heard human voices.

"Why are there wolves? Wuuu..." The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Jiang Zhe recognized it, it was Tang Xinru.

After their teams were formed, Tang Xinru had bragged to Jiang Zhe about hers.

Her team was formidable, filled with tall and strong males.

In theory, they should have been the front runners in this military training.

Hearing that it was her, Jiang Zhe relaxed a bit and toyed with the dagger in her hand.

Tang Xinru continued to whimper and complain about her grievances.

Although her team hadn’t secured a major advantage in terms of food and water, they had an edge when it came to wolf attacks.

Now, it was a boy, protecting her as they both fled.

"Don’t worry, dealing with a few wolves isn’t that difficult. I’ve always been good at sports, and I just knocked out four or five wolves with my bare hands. Trust in my ability, I’ll protect you!" a boy’s voice said.

"You’re really the best!" Tang Xinru cried, touched.

The director, seeing this scene, spread his hands helplessly, "Turns out the wolves I just zapped with the shocker were chasing them!"

So, the boy’s supposed feat of knocking out wolves with his bare hands was simply because the director happened to hit those wolves with the electric shocker, causing them to faint one after another.

That had allowed him to show off a bit.

And it had given him a lot more blind confidence.

Jiang Zhe and Beifeng, hearing their voices, finally let their guard down.

Then, Tang Xinru and the boy approached them.

Seeing Jiang Zhe and Beifeng, they got startled.

Recognizing Jiang Zhe, Tang Xinru mockingly said, "Why do you look so ragged? Covered in blood? Hahaha, were you bitten by wolves?"

"What’s it to you?" Jiang Zhe retorted unceremoniously, spitting out the remnants of the grass stalk from her mouth.

The guy next to her was immediately annoyed, "Show some respect."

"This is my turf, please kindly take yourselves far from here," Jiang Zhe pointed outside.

Just as the boy was about to speak, Tang Xinru suddenly clung to his arm in alarm, "Ah, there’s a tiger!"

"Where? I’ll knock it out with one punch!"

"Up there!" Tang Xinru pointed to the tiger and wolves hanging midair.

Several of them were tearing at each other, emitting chilling low growls.

"What’s there to be afraid of? I’m here." The boy was brimming with confidence.

Tang Xinru, remembering how he had knocked out the tigers and wolves with his bare hands, also felt confident.

She and the boy had originally come out hoping to try their luck finding something to eat or drink, but instead of finding anything, they came across this situation.

Seeing the bulging bag next to Jiang Zhe, obviously filled with delicious food, Tang Xinru’s eyes almost turned green with envy.

In the past few days, she had only eaten two packets of biscuits and drunk two bottles of mineral water, and she was already starving to the point of seeing stars.

Even though it was Jiang Zhe, she could no longer care less, and asked, "Jiang Zhe, the food you have, I heard that it can be bought with points?"

"Not selling." Jiang Zhe outright refused.

"You sell to everyone else..."

Jiang Zhe slowly cut her off, "Just not selling to you, got a problem with that?"

Hungry from fighting wolves and tigers, she took out two pieces of chocolate and slowly put them in her mouth.

Tang Xinru swallowed hard, "Wang Liang, this boy next to me, he’s incredibly strong. His brother served in the army, and he just knocked out four wolves in one go! With his bare hands! Jiang Zhe, we can make a trade, he protects you, and you give us some food!"

To Tang Xinru, this deal seemed extremely tempting.

Which was more important, life or food? Didn’t Jiang Zhe understand that?

The live comments exploded: "Damn, the funniest joke I’ve ever heard, asking Wang Liang to protect Jiang Zhe and Beifeng!"

"Just now, when Wang Liang pounded those wolves, they fainted instantly. He’s really impressive!"

"So Tang Xinru doesn’t seem to be wrong, does she?"

"Let me explain to you all. Over on Beicheng Continent, military personnel who join the forces all encounter beast attack training. But would they really allow casualties among their people? Of course not! Those beasts are fitted with shockers, and with a command, the device will knock them out with an electric shock. It’s used in emergencies to ensure the safety of people. The wolves that Wang Liang encountered were clearly stunned by shockers; otherwise, how could he have managed them so easily?"

"Fuck! So that’s how it was! Then why doesn’t the school turn on the shockers for the wolves Jiang Zhe and Beifeng face?"

"Yeah, is this unequal treatment or what?"

"The answer is obvious, right? Shockers are used for those who can’t fend off the beasts. For those who can defeat the beasts, of course, we want to see their performance under pressure. If they used shockers, would we be able to feast our eyes on Jiang Zhe and Beifeng’s performance?"

"That’s true. Jiang Zhe, Beifeng, you guys are my gods!"

Tang Xinru was still waiting for Jiang Zhe’s response.

Jiang Zhe said coldly, "No deal! Get lost!"

Tang Xinru was humiliated, she bit her lip, and said to Wang Liang, "Let’s go!"

Wang Liang glared furiously at Jiang Zhe, but staggered back when pierced by her icy gaze.

The two of them left together, propping each other up, while glancing out of the corners of their eyes to see Jiang Zhe still leisurely savoring the chocolate.

Tang Xinru was seething with hate; she had been going hungry for so long, yet Jiang Zhe could still afford to have so much food.

She cast a glance at the ropes securing the wolf and tiger and whispered to Wang Liang, "I’ll undo that."

Wang Liang got her meaning and agreed, "Okay, you undo it, and I’ll take on the wolves and tiger. If we save them, they’ve got to give us some food, right?"

Or, in the chaos, snatching some food wouldn’t be too much to ask for.
