The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1193: Chapter 1193: Teammates

Around here, looking out, it’s completely empty, no vegetation or mountains, nothing to hide anyone.

As Ji You and Cheng Haoyue stood on guard, the footsteps grew closer, and soon the blurred figures in the distance became clearer.

It’s 2 men and 1 woman.

All of them have tall and straight builds, filled with youthful vigor.

The 3 also saw the sign hanging on the crooked-necked tree with a few words written on it.

”Temporary Base.”

”Seventh Camp.”

”This is the place, no mistake.”

The three talked as they walked over.

Ji You and Cheng Haoyue hid behind the only stone by the crooked-necked tree, exchanged glances, and Ji You silently asked: [Do you know them?]

Cheng Haoyue shook his head, then nodded.

Ji You: ”???”

Cheng Haoyue wrote a few words on his hand:

[They’re teammates, but I don’t know who.]

In other words, he knows the teammate information, but has no photos? Can’t verify?

Ji You thought of something, his eyes turned slightly, and then asked: [Go out?]

Cheng Haoyue: [You go.]

Ji You received the command and stood up with a swish!

”Hey!”

”We’re here.”

Cheng Haoyue: ”...”

Damn!

I wanted you to go alone, temporarily not exposing me.

But you said ’we’, just selling me out in one breath. I originally wanted to act aloof and give the three subordinates a little shock.

Cheng Haoyue’s expression was really mixed, hard to describe.

The three people smiled at Ji You when they saw her and said: ”Oh, you’re here.”

Quickly, they came over and saw the half-crouched Cheng Haoyue, who said: ”You all report.”

Upon hearing this, the three didn’t speak and instead scrutinized Ji You and Cheng Haoyue, focusing on Cheng Haoyue.

Since Cheng Haoyue spoke in a commanding tone, he’s certainly a superior.

This person, rugged-looking, seems quite fierce in demeanor. Yet, his body is covered in a thick straw coat. The exposed arms and two straight legs are pale, resembling a white-boiled chicken, not seeming strong.

Could he be a spiritual power abuser?

Thinking of this, the girl among the three releases her Spiritual Silk to probe, finding Cheng Haoyue’s spiritual fluctuations aren’t large at all; she even thinks it’s weak.

Thus, a trace of disdain flashes in the girl’s eyes as she says: ”Are you the base leader?”

Cheng Haoyue raises his chin, saying: ”I am your squad leader.”

The girl points at Ji You and asks: ”What about her?”

Cheng Haoyue says: ”Your teammate, and also my subordinate.”

Ji You grins and cheekily says: ”Hello everyone, I’m nobody special, just a caretaker.”

Upon hearing this, the girl directly ignores Ji You, turning to the two males and saying: ”4393, 4881, this squad leader is weak, can we change?”

Cheng Haoyue’s face turns dark directly.

Every camp of 1000 people doesn’t belong to the same school, no mutual recognition among them, so students rarely form factions in a short time.

But—

This girl evidently has known the two guys, reaching some consensus.

One impatient male says: ”Changing squads? Let’s hurry and change, or wait until New Year’s?”

The other male hesitates: ”If we change, we have to find a new team again. Also... it might not be possible to change, I think we can’t.”

Cheng Haoyue glances at the three and says: ”Then it won’t happen as you wish, unless I agree, otherwise you’re seen as escapees.”

The three: ”...”

Cheng Haoyue says: ”And I don’t agree, I only accept sacrificing teammates, not escapees.”

After saying, Cheng Haoyue pulls out his crossbow arrow, aiming at the three, sternly saying: ”Which of you wants to die?”

The three’s faces turn unpleasant, hesitating in thought.

The three didn’t know each other either, they just happened to bump into each other entering the gateway, exchanged thoughts briefly, and then found themselves stepping into the arena at the same location, forming an alliance.

The three didn’t intend to make trouble, it’s a competition, wanting only victory. If the leader is weak, it’s not a joyous matter.

Fight?

Don’t fight?

The three exchange glances, clearly having reached a decision.

Is it a fight? Internal conflict?

Ji You looks exasperated.

Danger lurks around, everything unclear, yet they’re fighting among themselves?

Ji You sees Cheng Haoyue about to face off with one of the guys, suddenly raises a finger: ”Look! An airplane!”

Everyone instinctively looks up.

Only to find nothing in the sky, giving Ji You irritated glares.

Ji You forces a smile and says: ”Brothers, sisters, we’re in a competition now, the enemy can come anytime, let’s not fight among ourselves.”

Ji You’s words are spoken sincerely.

Cheng Haoyue immediately retracts his hand, saying coldly: ”You’re Wang Xin, you’re Liu Jia, and you’re He Yu?”

Upon hearing, the three show surprise, the girl asks: ”You have my information?”

”No. But I observe your slender limbs, shriveled form, must be the one with stronger spiritual power, the girl He Yu. Of the other two girls under me, one’s Ji You and one’s Bai Xin, both are physique talents.”

Upon hearing, the girl slightly shifts her expression and says: ”Right, I’m He Yu.”

While speaking, He Yu raises her hand slightly, pointing at Ji You and saying: ”Her arms are so thin? Also a physique talent?”

Cheng Haoyue’s face is complex, saying: ”Her physique talent isn’t particularly notable.”

Ji You isn’t discouraged by this and feels somewhat excited instead. These three new teammates clearly don’t know her identity. Despite having showcased her skills in front of many, they’re unaware, indicating others inside may also not recognize her?

There’s room for maneuver here.

”Wang Xin, Physical Talent.”

”Liu Jia! Physical Talent!” Cheng Haoyue suddenly says: ”You three, report one by one.”

The three thought for a bit, decided not to fight here, and then reported individually.

Cheng Haoyue says: ”I haven’t received a task, no need to execute one, let’s get familiar with each other first; it’ll help when the actual competition starts.”

The three think, nodding.

This new teammate meeting ends with an unenjoyable feeling.

Cheng Haoyue and the other three exchange a bit, roughly recognizing each other, the team atmosphere gradually turns better.

Ji You suddenly says: ”Where’s our enemy? Do we find them ourselves?”

The three along with Cheng Haoyue appear somewhat confused, ”The enemies are surely hidden at the border.”
