Chapter 59 - Drawing Lots for the Cross-country Race (2/2)

Feng Yue’s eyes were filled with madness. Qi Feng seemed hesitant. Recalling the nightmare in the rainforest, he couldn’t decide.

“If you miss this opportunity, are you planning to live in her shadow for the next few years?”

Feng Yue could tell that something must have happened between the two of them, so she egged him on!

Clenching his fists, Qi Feng shook his head and said resolutely, “I’ll listen to you!”

When the assembly bell rang, Zhong Ling and Wu Mei arrived at the empty field one after the other.

Feng Yue had told all the new cadets in advance to encourage Wu Mei to draw lots first. The first route would be the most difficult!

Wu Mei didn’t care. She reached out her hand, wanting to draw lots.

“Wu Mei, let me go first!”

Zhong Ling did not have any confidence in this assessment and was very nervous. She also didn’t see that there was something wrong with the others. Embracing the doctrine of “the sooner you die, the sooner you will be free”, she drew the first lot.

When she saw the route, she was instantly dumbfounded.

“Mine’s the hardest?” Tears immediately welled up in her eyes as she turned to look at Wu Mei.

Seeing that she did not manage to harm Wu Mei, Feng Yue vented her anger on Zhong Ling and said sarcastically, “Now, it’s time for you to show your strength!”

“The first place from yesterday… I’m guessing that you’ll be in last place today. If you aren’t capable enough, you’ll be eliminated no matter what!” Feng Yue mocked, but Wu Mei simply drew a lot. It was the simplest route.

“D*mn it! Why is she always so lucky?!”

The new cadets were discussing and grumbling.

Zhong Ling was hiding at the side with tears streaming down her face. When she saw Wu Mei, she hugged her and said, “What should I do?”

“I’ll swap with you,” said Wu Mei as she pulled the route map out of Zhong Ling’s hand.

Zhong Ling was shocked and she subconsciously wanted to snatch it back. “This won’t do! I can’t drag you down! You’ve already helped me a lot in the rainforest.”

“With your current situation, you won’t be able to complete the route that was drawn.”

Wu Mei said indifferently, “After you pass the test, you have to work harder. I won’t help you a second time or a third time… You can only rely on yourself for everything.”

Wu Mei was confident. Zhong Ling bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I will! Thank you.”

“Some people really like to play the hero. I just don’t know if she’ll be able to return successfully!” Feng Yue couldn’t hide the ecstasy in her eyes when she saw Wu Mei take the initiative to switch back to the most difficult route. She deliberately mocked Wu Mei and attacked her.

Wu Mei looked at her and kept the route in her bag. “I advise you to worry more about yourself.”
