After accidentally marking a rival

He Zhen didn't find it strange.

He has always been going all out to deal with Gu Zizhang, and he never takes it lightly when he can get Gu Zizhang. For him, this is something to be happy about.

He Zhen snorted, and then saw a sly smile flashing in Gu Zizhang's eyes.

Gu Zizhang: "Don't be too slack, but don't overtake me in the end, but be pulled away by me instead."

What Gu Zizhang said is correct, there is already a gap in the scores between them, if He Zhen still maintains today's speed in the next time, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger in the end.

He Zhen's voice was dull: "I know."

Xie Lefeng had just finished shaking the goosebumps all over his body, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the two people seemed to be intimate.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he was about to step forward to do something when he was stopped by Lu Qi.

Lu Qi was stronger than him, completely ignoring his resistance, and pulled him a distance away in two or three strokes.

How can a brother wholeheartedly hinder a younger brother from making friends?

After pushing Xie Lefeng away, Lu Qi turned his head to look at Gu Zizhang and He Zhen who were standing together, and unconsciously narrowed his eyes.

It had been a long time since he had seen such an active expression on He Zhen's face. Since that incident, He Zhen has worked harder, and gradually left them all behind.

Before Gu Zizhang appeared, there had been no peers of his age who could make He Zhen feel competitive for a long time.

Gu Zizhang sensed that Lu Qi's gaze stayed too long, and cast him a puzzled look.

Lu Qi squinted his eyes and smiled, but said nothing.

Next to him, Xie Lefeng was still muttering, citing some videos he saw on the forum: "I don't think we should let them go. They all look like they won't stop until they knock each other down. How can they be like friends?"

Listening to these nagging, Lu Qi became more clear about one thing.

For He Zhen, Gu Zizhang may be a special existence.

Night fell gradually.

Xie Lefeng inserted between Gu Zizhang and He Zhen, with a serious face: "I just checked, there is a stream over there, just right for us to camp tonight."

"it is good."

There were no powerful strange beasts in this forest, they were all low-level strange beasts. Lu Qi sprinkled some animal repelling powder outside the camp, so that the strange beasts would not approach and disturb them.

After the camp was set up, it was completely dark, and the campfire was lit, providing a real warmth to the slightly cold night in late autumn.

The four of them sat around the fire. Their dinner was a portable nutrient. It didn't taste good but it wasn't unpalatable. It was mainly to fill their stomachs and restore their physical strength and mental state.

After eating and drinking enough, He Zhen, as the team leader, offered to keep a vigil: "Arrange a vigil for two hours each."

Xie Lefeng immediately raised his hand: "I am the first."

Lu Qi continued: "The second one."

He Zhen looked at Gu Zizhang, and Gu Zizhang silently raised his hand: "I am the third."

"In the end," He Zhen continued after setting the order and time of the vigil, "If there is no objection, we will leave on time at 06:30 tomorrow morning."

The tent was a single room, and after they discussed it, those who should keep watch and those who didn't go into their own tents.

Gu Zizhang didn't sleep deeply, and when it was his turn to keep watch, he woke up immediately.

He opened the curtain of the tent and walked out. The fire was still burning fiercely before going to sleep, but he had become much weaker now.

With a chirping sound, Lu Qi next to the fire threw firewood into the fire, and the flames crackled and burned again. In an instant, the surrounding vision became much brighter.

Lu Qi looked up at Gu Zizhang: "I'm awake."

Gu Zizhang hummed and sat beside the fire.

After sitting for a while, Lu Qi raised the topic: "What kind of person do you think Xiao Zhen is?"

What kind of person is He Zhen?

Hearing this question, the image of He Zhen appeared in Gu Zizhang's mind.

He had never thought about this question before, but as the image of He Zhen became clearer and clearer in his head, a few words suddenly came to his lips.

Top alpha, powerful, superior family background, stern and selfless minister of discipline inspection department.

Gu Zizhang opened his mouth slightly, and was about to say it, but when he came to his mouth, he remembered some pictures.

In the picture, He Zhen is fierce, baring his teeth and claws. The pheromone that inadvertently emits is particularly pleasant, soft and sweet.

Thinking of this, he silently swallowed the words on his lips, picked up a handful of firewood and threw it into the fire without saying anything.

Some small flames rose from the fire, illuminating Lu Qi's face. Lu Qi seemed to be lost in memory, staring blankly at the flame in front of him.

The next second, as if thinking of something, the corners of Lu Qi's mouth slightly raised, looking a little terrified under the reflection of the flames.

After a while, Lu Qi restrained his smile, stood up and wanted to go back to rest in the tent, after pulling back the curtain of the tent, he turned around suddenly and said, "Do you think you and Xiao Zhen are friends?"

Lu Qi's voice was not loud, but it was enough for Gu Zizhang to hear every word clearly.

Gu Zizhang couldn't help but fell into deep thought, his hands unconsciously kept tinkering with the fire in front of him.

Are he and He Zhen friends?

Not long ago, he had a conflict with He Zhen. Before that, he and He Zhen provoked each other to defeat each other for their own sake.

In a daze, he seemed to hear what He Zhen once said again: "You and I are deadly enemies. This is a fact recognized by the whole school."

The flames in front of him suddenly rose, and Gu Zizhang came back to his senses. Looking back, Lu Qi was no longer outside.

The night was very deep, the forest was pitch black, and the surrounding area was very quiet, only the sound of burning matches could be heard.

Gu Zizhang's mental power moved, and his mental power extended out from him, covering the entire forest area in just a few seconds, including the strange beasts sleeping peacefully in their nests, and many contestants who camped in teams in the distance. , these are all in the eyes.

Such nights are quiet and peaceful.

Gu Zizhang gradually slowed down his breathing, slowly melting into the darkness with the rhythm of the night.

Two hours later, He Zhen appeared beside Gu Zizhang on time.

Gu Zizhang raised his head, and the bright flame seemed to blur his vision. He could see the distant scene clearly, but he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.

After He Zhen sat down, he asked, "He Zhen, what is our relationship?"

He Zhen: "A deadly enemy."

Hearing this answer, Gu Zizhang couldn't tell what he felt, it was obviously the same as what he thought, and it was a fact he knew a long time ago.

When he was silent, He Zhen added another sentence: "And we are teammates now."

This night was destined to be peaceful and sleepless, so He Zhen packed up his things after the night watch, and practiced early at the camp.

Gu Zizhang didn't sleep well enough, and when he noticed the movement outside, he simply got up and packed up his things, and trained on the sidelines.

At this time, the sky was still a little dark, Lu Qi got up one after another, and soon joined in.

Until dawn, Xie Lefeng just woke up, opened the tent in a daze, poked his head outside, and saw the three people who were neatly doing morning exercises outside.

"So early?"

After a while, Xie Lefeng remembered what He Zhen said yesterday, and immediately jumped out in shock: "I'll clean it up right away."

It was almost 06:30, in order to hurry, Xie Lefeng hurriedly washed his face with water, and after waking up, he put the tent away, rolled it into a ball and put it directly into the backpack.

Before the last second, he was standing in front of everyone with his backpack on his back, but compared to the other three, his battle uniform was not fully worn, and his backpack was bulging, so his image was not very good.

He Zhen glanced at Gu Zizhang indifferently: "Maybe you will have something in common."

Gu Zizhang slightly raised his eyebrows: "I don't know how to sleep in."

"What's wrong with sleeping late?" Xie Lefeng was not convinced, "I'm not late."

While talking, he took out the nutrient supplement for today's breakfast from his backpack and drank it in one gulp.

He Zhen glanced at him lightly.

Xie Lefeng was shocked, showing a smirk, hastily straightened his image, and kept mumbling.

"School life shouldn't be so serious! You are stubborn, vexatious, and overpowering others..."

Accompanied by Xie Lefeng's chattering voice, the four of Gu Zizhang walked westward all the way, but the four of them didn't hold back their breath, so they walked slowly all the way. Not only did the four of them not see a contestant, but they didn't even see a strange beast arrive.

Moreover, the actions of Gu Zizhang and He Zhen yesterday were too high-profile, and most of the contestants today are wary of their team.

Once the students of the investigation department detect their movement, they will immediately notify the various teams and try to avoid them.

After all, everyone is not a masochist. If possible, everyone really doesn't want to run into this team that can be called a harvesting machine!

He Zhen always remembered the premise of Gu Zizhang joining the team. If he continued to fight alone like yesterday, it would be completely detrimental to the cohesion of the team.

He can no longer be as willful as yesterday, but yesterday he was impulsive, and later he said in front of Gu Zizhang that he would catch up with the points.

He Zhen was in a difficult situation for a while.

Especially when Gu Zizhang was cooperating with them for the first time, his temper was always solitary, his fighting style was still domineering, and he had some differences with Xie Lefeng.

And after all, Xie Lefeng might not be willing to cooperate with Gu Zizhang.

He Zhen thought too much, so he simply opened and closed his eyes: "Yesterday we acted alone, today we will act in pairs in pairs."

Xie Lefeng replied immediately: "Then I will be in your group."

He Zhen then shook his head: "I'm on the same team as Gu Zizhang."

Xie Lefeng wanted to say something, but Lu Qi covered his mouth and took him away.

Lu Qi didn't intend to keep Xie Lefeng's mouth shut all the time, He Zhen and Gu Zizhang could vaguely hear Xie Lefeng's reluctance to be released from behind.

Then the sound got farther and farther away.

Gu Zizhang couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart until he couldn't hear them: "Since we met yesterday morning, you have never called the two of them by their names."

As he said that, Gu Zizhang was a little envious: "You must have a good relationship, and there must be more intimate names."

Especially in comparison with himself, he could feel the tacit understanding between He Zhen, Xie Lefeng, and Lu Qi.

With just one look, they can know what the other is thinking.

He Zhen didn't expect Gu Zizhang to say that, but it's not something that can't be said: "You're right, our family relationship has always been very good. We have been brothers since we were young. There is only one year difference in age between me and them, so we grew up together. of."

As he said that, He Zhen suddenly remembered what happened before: "At that time, Xie Lefeng targeted you because he thought you were bullying me, but many things were not what he thought."

Afterwards, He Zhen's tone was a little serious: "No matter what, these matters are between you and me, not their business."

Gu Zizhang was taken aback, and said with some resentment: "Hasn't our problem been solved?"

He Zhen pursed her lips, and then said, "Since I've made my decision, I definitely won't go back on my word."
