Chapter 1226 1226: Turning the Tables
"Got it."
Augusta, after hearing the message, quickly located Zhouzhou's position on the map.
Coincidentally, it wasn't far at all.
He licked his lips, a bloodthirsty expression crossing his face. "I didn't eliminate you earlier, but now, it's time."
Allowing her to live for a few extra hours was already showing mercy.
He removed his equipment, casually tossing the locator and the score tracker aside.
His teammates quickly called after him. "Augusta, you can't do that! You won't be able to score points if you throw those away!"
Unexpectedly, Augusta scoffed. "I didn't come here for points."
His real goal was to kill Ye Lingfeng, to take revenge for old grievances.
The competition? Team honor? To him, those were nothing.
Now that Ye Lingfeng hadn't shown up, killing his daughter would be just as satisfying.
Not keeping track of points meant no evidence left behind. When the time came, he'd say it was an accident. Who would ever suspect him?
Coincidentally, Zhouzhou was thinking the same thing.
Her nose twitched as she caught a strong killing intent.
It was from Augusta.
He was coming for her.
Zhouzhou smiled to herself. Perfect timing!
She lifted her eyelids slightly and, looking around at the surveillance cameras, calculated the direction. There was one spot without any cameras.
She turned to Xi Mo and said, "Uncle, take them and go."
Xi Mo's pupils constricted, his expression darkening. "What are you planning to do?"
Zhouzhou looked at him and smiled. "Uncle, don't you already know? Augusta couldn't let me go, and I don't want to hide anymore. It's been annoying dragging things out. I've had a bit of a windfall recently, and it's time to make some more money. His bounty is pretty high, enough for me to buy a plane again."
Xi Mo stared at her, furrowing his brows deeply. "It's going to be very dangerous."
Zhouzhou nodded. "I know, but if we don't deal with him now, things will get even worse in the future. Didn't you say he's very cunning? If we let him slip away again, he'll be a bigger threat later. Why not deal with him now, while everyone's out in the open? I'll kill him once and for all so we won't have to worry about him again."
Xi Mo listened, knowing she had a point, but he still worried.
This was Augusta they were talking about. Even Ye Lingfeng hadn't been able to take him down.
Could Zhouzhou really do it?
But Zhouzhou didn't give him time to hesitate. "Uncle, don't worry. Fate is by my side, I'll be fine. And if things go south, I'll just have Mr. Divine Thunder strike him down."
She then looked at Divine Thunder and waved. "Quick, Mr. Divine Thunder, say something to reassure my uncle."
Her tone was as if Divine Thunder was her subordinate.
Divine Thunder gritted its teeth in frustration but eventually complied, sparking a few electric flashes.
Fine, whatever. It didn't mind taking down one bad guy. And to make things clear, it was certainly not doing this for Zhouzhou.
Zhouzhou grinned brightly. "I knew Mr. Divine Thunder would be the best!"
Hearing this, Divine Thunder fumed, its anger flaring. How many times had it told her it wasn't a good thunder?
This silly girl couldn't remember even the simplest things!
Zhouzhou, however, wasn't concerned. Before it could get angrier, she took off, leaving Divine Thunder fuming and chasing after her.
Fang Zichong scratched his head, then turned to Xi Mo. "Captain Xi, what should we do now?"
Xi Mo bit his lip and glanced at Zhouzhou's retreating figure. "Let's go."
Since Zhouzhou had already made up her mind, he couldn't hold her back.
She could do what she had to do. The rest was up to him.
Fang Zichong and the others didn't say anything, immediately following Xi Mo.
Soon, they were out of the area.
At the same time, Augusta heard that Zhouzhou was heading deeper into the forest. He smiled.
For safety, their team was sticking to the outer perimeter, but the depths of the forest were much more dangerous.
He had been thinking about how to avoid the cameras, but it seemed she was making things easy for him.
Perfect. With this, there'd be no need for excuses.
After killing her, he'd let the animals devour her body.
Oh, but he could take a bone or two to send to Ye Lingfeng. They had fought so many times; it would make a fitting gift.
Without hesitation, Augusta strode toward Zhouzhou.
Zhouzhou, hiding behind a tree, saw him approaching and aimed her gun at him.
Suddenly, Augusta stopped in his tracks and looked directly at her, despite the tree leaves in the way.
He smiled and said, "You don't think a training bullet can kill me, do you?"
This was a competition, not real combat. Of course, there were no live rounds.
Zhouzhou sighed, jumped down from the tree, casually tossing the gun aside, and said seriously, "You're right. I didn't expect you to find my position so quickly. You're pretty impressive."
Augusta sneered. "Isn't it because you didn't hide your presence and let me find you?"
Zhouzhou's eyes widened. "I'm giving you a compliment, and you're not even humble! If it were me, I'd be floating up to the sky by now."
Augusta stared at her, expressionless. "Enough with the nonsense. If you were as easily flattered as you sound, you wouldn't have made it this far."
"Come on, let's just fight. One of us will walk out of here alive today."
Zhouzhou, with her hands behind her back, nodded. "I told you, I can predict the future. I'll live a long life, so the person who's going to die today..."
She gave him a meaningful look.
Augusta curled the corners of his mouth and, without saying anything more, launched a direct attack.
"Bring it on, then. Try and take my life!"
He was eager to see if she had the ability to back up her words.
In the blink of an eye, he reached Zhouzhou, his punch rushing at her like a gust of wind.
Zhouzhou, however, didn't even flinch, swiftly dodging the attack.
Augusta wasn't surprised. After all, she was Ye Lingfeng's daughter. If she didn't have some skill, she wouldn't dare lead him here.
He knew very well that Zhouzhou had purposely lured him in.
She, like him, wanted to fight somewhere without surveillance.
But even in face-to-face combat, he was confident he could defeat her.
He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known Ye Lingfeng's daughter figured him out so well, he would've killed her when she was younger.
Looking at Zhouzhou, he suddenly spoke. "If I had known you were this capable, I should've killed you when you were a child."
Zhouzhou, hearing this, smiled brightly. "You think I was easy to kill when I was little?"
What do you think?
