Resurrection Empire-Chapter 981 - 377: Sample No. 38

During the next forty minutes, many changes occurred within the game field.

Hu Yang instructed her people to spread out, led by two or three old members, forming groups of five to disperse in all directions.

A total of about forty groups spread out over a large area, in turn hunting the opposing force's dispatched scouts, while also absorbing more lone individuals.

Since they needed to bring in new blood, Hu Yang's forces couldn't ambush everyone as clearly defined enemies but had to engage in close contact and dialogue to discern the other party's stance.

This posed a considerable challenge to everyone's tasks.

Despite this, when regrouping, the team's size expanded to five hundred people, doubling again.

The new team still had those with ill intentions, but Hu Yang, at her peak state, had loyal wingmen and a newly established Guard to ensure her safety.

The Hunting Team, while losing several intelligence personnel, successfully established four bases within the field, using these bases to attract numerous newcomers.

Each base covered nearly ten acres, with five hundred people stationed at each.

The Hunting Team's total personnel expanded to over two thousand.

Though the strength was uneven, at least the numbers were quite intimidating, and some managed to bolster their strength further by exploiting others' equipment, forming a formidable force capable of contending with Hu Yang.

Beyond these two factions, the third-party force, renamed the Self-help Alliance, developed exceptionally brightly.

They had already expanded to over a thousand people, with a size even larger than Hu Yang's.

Moreover, the atmosphere within the Self-help Alliance was extremely bizarre.

They appeared very excited, with a strong desire to fight.

They trusted each other immensely, treating every teammate as genuine brothers and sisters.

Even stranger, almost every new member joining the Self-help Alliance quickly integrated after talking with its leader, becoming reliable alliance members.

If it were just lone participants, that would be one thing, but what truly raised Ren Zhong's alarm was a reconnaissance team from Hu Yang's group.

The team leader, one of the earliest followers of Hu Yang and one of the nineteen warriors accompanying her in the rear, was part of this team.

He was relatively upright, considered both brave and resourceful, with strong convictions.

During an outing, the reconnaissance team encountered the Self-help Alliance head-on, but no conflict erupted.

The Self-help Alliance leader extended goodwill and proactively approached the reconnaissance team leader, saying: "Now, the number of contestants inside is soon to fall below four thousand. Aside from a few stragglers, most have joined one of our three factions. Currently, the Hunting Team is the strongest, while we and you are second and third respectively. I propose we form an alliance, merge into one, and join hands to eliminate the Hunting Team and then proceed with further discussions. Please relay my proposal to Hu Yang. Also, inform her that I personally admire her greatly." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

After hesitating briefly, the reconnaissance team leader truthfully relayed the Self-help Alliance leader's words through the communicator.

Hu Yang couldn't deny that the proposal offered was indeed highly tempting.

Objectively speaking, the proposal was the shortcut to victory and the most likely approach to achieve the ultimate goal.

Of course, having ideas doesn't mean an immediate alliance; many details need negotiation.

Thus, Hu Yang instructed the reconnaissance team leader to hand over the communicator to the Self-help Alliance leader, saying: "This is a good proposal, but after merging, who will lead?"

Leader: "I've observed all your battles with the Hunting Team, and I believe your military talents far surpass mine, so it should naturally be you in charge."

Hu Yang was shocked.

She had expected some wrangling, but didn't anticipate the other party to be so considerate.

Leader: "Miss Hu, otherwise, let's meet. I know you have concerns, so let's meet face-to-face and talk openly. There's no divergence that can't be discussed in person. If you're worried, I can also come to your base unaccompanied and unarmed to meet you. How about that?"

Hu Yang: "Aren't you afraid I'll seize control of you?"

Leader: "I'm not afraid."

"Why?"

"Because within this gaming arena, the only person I admire is you. I also unconditionally believe you wouldn't do such a thing, so I'm willing to put my life in your hands just for a chance to talk with you in person. If you agree, I can head out with your reconnaissance team right now to meet you."
