Chapter 367: Priced Treasure

It was as if something was lodged in Long Yi's throat when he saw what happened. He jolted on his seat, "They can't detect the armor??" This means that all their night vision will be useless against Lyca's people?

"Does… did the committee knows about this?" This discovery was enough to surprise everyone who was watching the show. "If they can't be seen then — That would be dangerous!"

"What about thermal goggles?" Zhang Zhi blurted. "Do you think… Do you think it won't detect the armor too?"

"How could they allow those people to wear the armor? That is simply unfair!!!" Xie Jun continued. "Plus, I heard nothing was so special about those armors? Why are they— "

"The question is actually, how are they going to defeat Lyca and her team now that the night vision goggles don't work on them? They were already wearing black, so spotting them would be difficult especially at night."

"Look! What is that?" Zhang Zhi exclaimed when he noticed that the people running after the person who assaulted the man earlier were… dancing?

In fact, they weren't doing some krumpings. They were trying to fight off insects. That was surrounding them. Crow and the other didn't know if they should cry from too much anger or shout and cursed that person that they were following. After some time, they actually got their vision back, and they too followed Shadow and the others.

However, they no longer had any traces of them. They tried to run towards the east; they heard Shadow informed them that he is going to the east before leaving. But how did he vanish just like that? And what are these insects?

"What the hell are these? Looks like bigger mosquitoes?" The insects that suddenly surrounded them were bigger than mosquitoes. And they wait! "Yellow Jackets!" Wait… why would Yellow Jackets attack them during the night? Yellow Jacket's can't see in the dark, right?

"Let's get out of here!" Crow said before running on the opposite way. He tried to make the insects leave him by running in a zigzag, but soon he realized that something was wrong.

No one was following him.

A foreboding emotion suddenly spread inside him as he halted his steps and leaned against a tree. Then he turned towards the direction where he came from. No one was indeed following him. The people that were complaining and cursing earlier were no longer there too. What is… Before he could analyze everything, a dull pain hit his temple.

Then his consciousness faded.

"We're not allowed to kill them," Gu Cheng's voice can be heard.

"I know." The person who answered him was the one that they were trying to follow earlier, and it was a woman. To be more specific, it was Gu Cheng's woman, Yan Junqi. Since she was wearing the armor, no one noticed that she was actually a girl. "Let them smell that gas to make them sleep. Let's remove their weapons and get out of here."

Striking people's temples could actually kill someone. However, since they weren't allowed to kill, Yan Junqi didn't strike them hard enough to kill them. Every one of them was taught to hit fatal points and immediately kill people. But the rules are making them control their strength to avoid killing someone.

Everyone in the team knew that this competition would also test their control. In fact, most of them knew that they weren't skilled enough. They needed more training. And thus, they considered this competition a real life training! "Hmph!" Yan Junqi snorted before she removed everything that the man could use. Of course, she wasn't planning to use those things. In fact, they were going to burn those stuff in front of everyone tomorrow morning.

"I'm done here. Let's go check out Ma Ping and the rest." Yan Junqi said. Ma Ping and another two people were the ones in charge of dealing with Shadow and the other two people that followed them.

"Let's tie them up and hang them in the trees!?" Gu Cheng's sudden suggestion made her pause.

"I think… that is an excellent idea?"

….

Watching the two people wearing black armor tying those people up and hanging them on the trees made all the viewers speechless. What's the purpose of this, ah? Are they just doing this to embarrass those people? That would surely provoke the Dal Valley's people!

"Did you see that thing that the man in black put towards their nose? That should make them sleep more, right?" Long Yi's secretary said. "Isn't that too sinister? They were trying to make fun of Dal Valley's people! Sadly, when those people discover their men tomorrow, they won't be able to easily find the Shen Security Team."

"I think it's good that we didn't instruct our people to follow them." Xie Jun muttered. "Or we would become a joke. Those two people weren't even six-foot-tall, ah! And they easily tied and hang those five men! How embarrassing!"

"Now that I think about it. Lyca and her people don't really follow logic. And they have weird tools. Did you see those insects? I think that man in black did something to make the insects surround the group of men."

"Maybe they have something that could attract insects and dispel them? They have powders and gas. The reason why they can carry it is that it is nonlethal. But this is really unfair to everyone." Xie Jun added.

"I think their aim is not really to win this competition." Long Yi's words made the other two silent. "I think they wanted to show off their technology and attract investors. The armor is already considered a priced treasure. The things that they are using are all unique and new. Attracting the eyes of other companies is already akin to them winning this competition." Long Yi's face was dark. He already understood Lyca's retaliation. No, she wasn't planning to retaliate against him and poison him just for show. She was planning to show their innovation, the technology that she created, and face slap the people that wanted her to fail.

No. It was like she was telling everyone that even if they disqualify her and Shen Security, they would still win because they already attracted the eyes of the investors.

She was like telling everyone, 'I am already this awesome. What can you do against me?'

What a clever woman. What a deadly and clever woman.
