Resurrection Empire-Chapter 973 - 374: Terrain and Ambush – Part 2

"Yes, your previous speech has initially established some authority in the hearts of your team members, but words are no proof. Saying a thousand beautiful things is not as effective as doing one practical deed. After completing the plan, you should think of a way to escape. Of course, this will involve risks, but to win against stronger forces with weaker ones, to outsmart larger numbers with fewer people, risks must be taken. Next, I'll teach you some strategies on counter-sieges, guerrilla warfare, and public opinion warfare. Your map has already provided the prerequisites for my entire plan. Also, other contestants have started forming alliances, creating several large and small teams. The largest temporary alliance has almost 200 people. The leader of this alliance is better than you at stirring people's hearts with words. What he says sounds nicer. He will likely approach you next, but you must be cautious of him."

Hu Yang: "Okay."

"Alright, we've arrived. It's your turn now."

On this end, even though it hadn't been five minutes, Ren Zhong ended the communication early.

Hu Yang paused, turned back towards her comrades, and raised her right hand, signaling everyone to stop.

At this moment, she and the group were inside the D3 channel.

This channel was not a cave but an artificial river winding through two perilous peaks.

The river and the peaks piled together to form a treacherous alley.

The group ran on the muddy ground beside the river.

Among these more than a hundred people, not everyone had armor. Even with all their strength, those without armor barely reached the lower limit of a speed of seven meters per second.

From the other end of the alley came bursts of noise; the pursuers were closing in.

Hu Yang spoke in a heavy tone, "We've been caught again. This time, we can't easily escape; we must leave some people behind to cover the retreat."

Everyone remained silent, and some even looked disapprovingly at the comrades without armor, who couldn't move quickly.

At this moment, Hu Yang slowly said, "We need about twenty people to stay behind. Those willing to stay, please raise your right hand."

As she spoke, she lifted her right arm high.

Everyone was stunned.

Initially, when she said some people needed to stay behind, most thought she would surely designate some people from the crowd to stay and confront death.

Nobody expected her to be the first to raise her hand.

"We don't have much time to hesitate, everyone. We must decide in thirty seconds. I once said I could take a bullet for you, and that's not just talk."

The next second, the second person to follow Hu Yang's example, a middle-aged man, also slowly raised his hand.

Soon after, within ten seconds, more than thirty others raised their hands.

Hu Yang shook her head and began to choose, "We only need twenty people, no more. For those who were slow to raise your hands, I'm sorry."

With that, she swiftly selected nineteen people, then waved her hand decisively, "The rest of you, keep moving forward. Without my order, do not look back. After exiting the pass, move north. There is a dense forest there, where I previously stashed heavy equipment that can't be installed on armor. Wait for us there. If we're not there in half an hour, take care of yourselves, no need to reminisce."

Seeing some people still hesitating, Hu Yang sternly commanded once more, "Go! That's an order!"

This situation left many contestants present who hadn't raised their hands in shock and confusion, while numerous players and spectators were full of questions.

In many people's minds, one sentence echoed again and again, she's serious!

But why?

Clearly, her personal strength is already outstanding. Even if she lost all her subordinates and became a lone wolf, she could easily survive until the final rounds.

Given the attention her player has for her, they would certainly choose to redeem her.

She's already ensured her survival and doesn't need to do this.

With extremely complex emotions, nearly a hundred people continued to move forward, some looking back every few steps, only to be shouted at by Hu Yang again.

By this time, the communication time had just ended.

Before it ended, the players behind the Hunting Team and many gamblers had already popped champagne, ready to celebrate.

After waiting for such a long opportunity, Hu Yang, slippery as an eel, had finally chosen to die voluntarily.

This farce was finally about to end.

The players seized the last few seconds to frantically give orders, urging the Hunting Team members chasing them to speed up.

But they never expected what Hu Yang said next would chill their spines.
