2901 Impure Motives
They were a little vigilant. Even if a camera drone came from above, it would only capture their heads. As for what was happening, it couldn’t capture that scene at all.
Ye Jian was sitting, while the other seven people were standing close to each other. They were shoulder-to-shoulder and leaning on each other’s heads. Then, they lowered their heads in unison and looked at the tree branch in Xia Jinyuan’s hand. Then, they looked at the map on the backpack. Ye Jian hugged the backpack and sat down.
The seven heads were close together, and the circle they formed was tight. Ye Jian, who was hugging the backpack, saw seven resolute faces with sharp eyes every time she raised her head.
“We took too long just now. We need to pick up the pace now. We’re ranked tenth now. Entering the top five is our goal, but we can’t jump to fifth place all at once. We have to take it slow.”
“We’ll go up to seven or eight after the rifle shooting. After the sniper shooting, we should be ranked sixth. In the next few days, we can’t go lower than seven. Do you understand?”
This was the most difficult tactic. They couldn’t win or lose. They couldn’t have others pay too much attention to them either. It was much harder than fighting for first place.
It was their plan to take things step by step and make progress into the top five.
However, sometimes, this plan couldn’t keep up with changes. They were almost ranked last because of the gun shooting just now.
“There needs to be a certain amount of buffer time. If there are any unexpected accidents, there will still be time to deal with them. We won’t be as tense as before.” G3 lowered his head for a long time. He saw that the sweat on his forehead was about to drip on Ye Jian. He hurriedly wiped his sweat and reminded his rades to wipe their sweat so that it wouldn’t drip on Ye Jian.
Ye Jian didn’t notice that sweat was dripping on her. After Xia Jinyuan finished gesturing, she asked softly, “Do I need to hide anything?”
“No. Just continue doing what you’ve been doing.” Xia Jinyuan then told them the reason. “You’re a female soldier and the only female soldier participating in the petition. If you walk out, you’ll attract enough attention. If you hide your talents, you’ll make things worse. People will suspect that our motives… are impure.”
Impure motives… Everyone held back their laughter when they heard that.
Li Jinnian glanced at Xia Jinyuan coldly and explained, “Since our country dares to send a female soldier, we’ve already told everyone that she’s outstanding. The marksmanship that she displayed is her strength.
“It’s very reasonable. It’ll also attract more attention to her, which can facilitate them thinking that we have ‘impure motives.’”
“Okay, I understand.” Ye Jian nodded. In that case, she didn’t have to hide her skills anymore. She would use her marksmanship to cover for her rades.
Just as Xia Jinyuan and Li Jinnian had guessed, the generals of the various countries were focused on the Chinese female soldier, Ye Jian. They only focused on Ye Jian. They ignored the rest of the Chinese participants and didn’t focus on observing them.
The military officials present were also focused on the participating team from the United States.
The rifle shooting started. The American team was the first to arrive and the first to plete it. The Chinese team was the eighth to arrive and start the round.
Shooting while running was naturally much more difficult than shooting on the spot. Even if they were stronger than the American participants, no one could achieve a perfect result of 100 points while running.
