Fukumoto Lina’s low growl made Michiko Matsuyama’s facial expressions even more sinister. She climbed up from behind a hidden bush. Due to the weight of her luggage on her back, she was pressed down for too long. When she got up, Michiko Matsuyama felt that half of her shoulders had lost feeling.
Holding the gun in one hand, she used her left shoulder, which had lost all feeling, to rub against a rough tree bark. As she moved, she replied coldly to Fukumoto Lina, “If we continue to wait now, we’ll waste more time.
“While there’s still a chance to make up for it, we must retreat immediately and hurry up to find the 40 coordinates!”
She was glad that the rules of this competition allowed them to get one point for finding a coordinate. If they couldn’t find anything within six hours, their score would be zero.
The Chinese side must have noticed their plan, so they couldn’t wait any longer. Now, it was up to them if they had the chance to meet the Chinese students in the depths of the forest.
It was not up to the Japanese students to decide whether they could meet them or not. The Chinese students met the students from the US, Germany, and Russia, but they did not meet the Japanese students.
When they met the students from the three countries, they avoided them amicably. Both sides didn’t even have the time to greet each other. They sped up and entered the depths of the forest.
At the three-hour mark, the Chinese students had found 27 coordinates. At the four-hour mark, they found 34 coordinates. At the five-hour mark, they found 38.
As time passed, it became harder and harder to find the coordinates. It was time to return.
“We can’t continue moving forward. Retreat!”
The last hour was the withdrawal time. When the time was up, Zhang Minghong immediately stopped moving forward. Ye Jian led the team back according to the shortest route planned.
It was already quite fast for the Chinese to find all 38 coordinates in five hours. However, Li Jinnian pursed his lips slightly. It was very likely that they could continue to find all the coordinates, but there was not enough time. In that case… what would the Chinese students choose?
He hoped that they would return immediately!
Just as he was thinking about this, the Chinese student’s trajectory turned back from the front. This meant that the Chinese students didn’t choose to continue moving forward and were returning.
It was much safer to return than to continue looking for the remaining two coordinates.
Five hours of walking in the primeval forest had already depleted the students’ stamina. It was the same for students from all over the world. However, there were a few students from countries who chose to give up halfway because they knew that they wouldn’t be able to find more coordinates if they continued moving forward. It was better to reach the finishing point early.
The 39th coordinate was found when they were going downhill. The appearance of this coordinate made the Chinese students excited. They were only one coordinate away!
When they realized that the last coordinate was under a huge rock, Ye Jian and Zhang Minghong spread out the map again. They calculated the time they would take to get the coordinates and the time they would take to reach the destination. They made a decision after a while.
If they ran down and obtained the coordinates, they would be able to reach the destination in advance.
The Chinese students, who couldn’t afford to waste time, received the order from their leader, Zhang Minghong. Without any objections, they all tried their best to rush down the mountain.
