Chapter 1681: Start with Them

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The person who spoke was called Liu Zhihao. He was not tall, had prominent cheekbones, and was a little thin. His face was filled with anger.

“If it’s a 4V5, it’ll be good. I’m just afraid that he’ll drag us down. By then, it won’t be a 4V5, but a 3V5, or even a 2V5.”

The person who spoke was Zhou Chenghao. He was a little chubby, and his words were similarly filled with dissatisfaction.

Although Liu Guangxian and Li Xianghui knew that their chances of winning this round were not high, these people had great confidence in their own ability.

As long as they had the right people, they would definitely win this team battle.

Regrettably, one of the team members suddenly fell ill, and they had hoped to find a replacement to strengthen the team.

Unexpectedly, in the end, a newbie was a.s.signed to them.

When they heard this news, they almost forfeited.

“Since you’re here, take it easy. Don’t think too much.”

The person who spoke had a well-proportioned figure and short hair. There was no expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

His name was Han Enlong, and he was the captain of this operation. He was in charge of commanding the team.

“I’ll come up with another plan. If we’re lucky, even if it’s a 4vs, we still have a chance at victory.”

It was clear that Han Enlong was also very dissatisfied with the leader’s arrangements. It was just that he could not say it out loud.

“Inspector Li is here!”

Seeing Li Xianghui enter, the four of them stood up and said.

They were very polite.

Lin Yi learned a little about Li Xianghui from Zhang Zixin, who liked to pay attention to gossip.

He used to be a policeman, but he retired due to his injuries.

He was the one who had brought Han Enlong up. The remaining three were also on good terms with him.

Thus, they were very respectful to him.

“Let me introduce this man to you. His name is Lin Yi. His marksmanship is very good. During the a.s.sessment, he scored 100 points, so now, the higher-ups are sending him to join you.”

The four of them glanced at Lin Yi. Only Han Enlong nodded out of respect.

“Why do they all have such expressions?” Li Xianghui said.

“I know Lin Yi’s standards. Although he’s a newbie, he’s very talented. Who are you guys putting on a long face for?”

Li Xianghui was also a hot-tempered person. He would start scolding whenever there was a disagreement.

“We didn’t mean that.”

Han Enlong said with a smile. The others also nodded in acknowledgment, giving Li Xianghui enough face.

“The compet.i.tion will begin soon. I’ll hand him over to you guys to discuss the plan. Strive to get a good result.”

“Got it.”

After giving a few more instructions, Li Xianghui left, leaving Lin Yi in the bus. He had other things to deal with.

After Li Xianghui left, the four of them returned to their seats.

However, no one said anything to Lin Yi. They continued to discuss the plan according to their original train of thought.

Their discussion was also focused on the original four members. Lin Yi was excluded.

Initially, Lin Yi wanted to partic.i.p.ate, but looking at the four, it seemed they had no intention of bringing him along.

At the same time, Lin Yi did not pander to them. He sat on the chair beside them, took out his earphones, and steadily started watching One Piece.

This time, Han Enlong and the others could no longer sit still.

It was such an important occasion, yet he was actually watching an anime?

Did he think this was a joke?

“Kid, what are you doing? Can’t you see that we’re discussing a plan?”

Lin Yi took off his earpiece.

“You guys can discuss freely. I’m wearing my earphones. 1 won’t disturb you.”

“Don’t you know this is a team battle?”

“I know, but when you are discussing things, you aren’t including me. You based it on the four of you, then afterward tell me it’s a team battle. How interesting.”

Han Enlong could not say a word. He was indeed in the wrong.

However, he did not expect Lin Yi to dare to speak in such a tone as a newbie!

“That’s enough, Captain Han. There’s no need to be angry with him.” Liu Zhihao persuaded.

“I think this is good too. Let him play by himself. This way, he won’t be a burden. As long as we’re careful, we might be able to turn the tables.”

“1 don’t know what Inspector Li is thinking. He actually recruited him!”

“Calm down. Let’s continue with our own matters and strive to deploy a more comprehensive strategy. It’s not worth wasting time on him.”

Han Enlong snorted coldly. “Let’s continue!”

Over the next half an hour, the four of them went over their battle plans again, completely excluding Lin Yi. They had no intention of bringing him along and left him to fend for himself.

Soon, the team battle officially began.

The content of the compet.i.tion was very simple and practical. The goal was to save the hostages.

Whoever could be the first to rescue the hostage would win!

Therefore, only one team could earn points consistently.

These points were then carried over to the second event, providing a significant advantage in the normal compet.i.tion.

Only in the second round of individual events could a team with exceptionally outstanding performance manage to overtake the leading team.

Otherwise, there was no hope.

At this moment, the atmosphere was tense and focused.

The other three teams looked at Lin Yi with mocking expressions.

“I heard that someone from the Xinshan Branch got into trouble and found a newbie to take the fall. I really don’t know what they’re thinking,” said the person from the Yuanhe Branch.

The person who spoke was called Li Ye. He was very tall, being the tallest in the team. He was also the leader of Yuanhe’s representative team.

“It’s a tactical abandonment.” The person from Baoshan Branch said.

“Their team’s combat standards are obviously the worst. They definitely can’t compete with us, so they found a newbie to take the blame. This way, they will have a reason why they lost.”

The person who spoke was called Lu Rui. He looked very young and seemed to be less than thirty years old. He was also one of the captains.

“You’re right. Otherwise, it would be too awkward if they lost. Haha…”

The person who spoke was Zhong Xinhong, the captain of the Taiping Representative Team.

At the same time, he was also the most handsome among the three of them.

“Then we’re all in agreement. Let’s work together to get rid of them first and eliminate them early. Then, the three of us will have a good fight,” Li Ye said.

“I’m fine with that,” Lu Rui shrugged and said with a smile.

“I agree with that,” Zhong Xinhong said.

At this moment, Lin Yi and the other five were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of the other three teams.

They didn’t take them seriously at all.

Before the compet.i.tion began, the referee gave everyone equipment that could be used later.

“Brother Lin, I just heard Inspector Li say that the people pretending to be kidnappers are from the Zhonghai Garrison. Do we have a chance of winning?” Zhang Zixin asked.

People from the garrison?

This matter was quite interesting. He wondered how Mo Hongshan would react when he found out that he was here.

Lin Yi said nonchalantly, “You can’t ask me that. This task is mainly the four of them. I’m just a bystander.”

“It’s good that you recognize that. Don’t drag us down,” Liu Zhihao said..
