172 Talent in Acting (1/2)

Hidden within the trees and bushes, two men on each side of the road were crouched, scanning the area less than a hundred meters in front of the entrance to their base. They all wore camouflage clothing, geared up from head to toe with their faces covered as well.

One of them, acting like a leader, carried a tablet and watched its display at all times. It showed the map of the whole island and it was filled with hundreds of red and blue dots. The latter was lower in quantity by a massive margin.

Beep, beep.

A quiet alarm set off from the tablet as the man was zooming in on the map and a notification popped up on the screen.

'New challengers approaching.'

The man got excited seeing the pop-up and quickly activated his communicator by touching his ear. ”Someone is coming, get ready,” the man spoke in a whisper.

”Roger that, waiting for instructions.”

He heard the response in his ear and nodded to his partner on the left. The both of them looked at the tablet and zoomed in the map towards their position. Two red dots were closing in on them.

”Two easy targets. Walking on the main road. Wait for them to get close and we will jump out,” the leader commanded and looked in the direction the prey would come.

They didn't need to wait for long until they saw two beauties cautiously walk towards them. The blonde hugged onto the brown-haired women with a scared look on her face. She was shivering and limping on one leg while using the other as support to walk. The only weapon they had was in the hand of brown-hair beauty which also seemed hurt, having some blood oozing from her shoulder.

”Gosh, they are so hot… Too bad they are injured… They won't be able to fight us at all,” one of the men commented and suggested, ”How about we play with them a bit and let them pass? I am sure the one with a knife is skilled to be able to walk this far on their own.”

”I agree… Mike, just look at their bodies… We have been here for a week already… Can't we have some fun at least?” His partner added, trying to convince their leader but it only pissed him off instead.

”How about you have some fun with my knife?” Mike grunted and ordered, ”As punishment for your dirty thoughts, you two will stay on the lookout instead. Rules are rules. If they can't survive five seconds against any of us, they can't join the selection.”

”Mike, that's plain cheating. You just want to play with the beauties yourself. Humpf,” the man complained in disagreement but Mike only silenced him.

”Shush, they are coming.”

The girls walked slowly through the jungle road when they finally saw the gates to the base in the distance. Both of their eyes widened in relief.

”We arrived! We are finally safe!” Scarlet called out happily, her grimace of pain disappearing from her face.

”Shhh, don't shout…” Dongmei quickly shushed her and whispered, loud enough for the men to hear her, ”There can still be dangers hidden nearby. This is exactly the place where there could be the most traps. We need to be carefull.”

Scarlet acted scared and hugged to Dongmei even tighter. ”Okay…” she muttered while looking around worriedly.

Both of them almost jumped when they heard a sudden male voice coming from the bushes, ”You are right. Dangers lurk everywhere.”

A man in dark green camouflage clothes jumped out of the bushes right in front of them, caring a similar knife to Dongmei's.

”You should listen to your friend. She seems to know what's up,” the man commented, looking at them with a hungry gaze. His sharp brown eyes caused chills to run on Scarlet's back. She didn't need to pretend anymore to act scared.

”Stay away!” Dongmei shouted back as she aimed her knife at him and took Scarlet by the hand, wanting to run away in the opposite direction yet she immediately stopped, seeing another person jumping out of the bushes.
