The others shook their heads.
From the training observation room, they couldn't hear what the newcomers were saying.
Moreover, Zhang Shaohua deliberately lowered his voice when speaking with Ouyang Feng.
As a result, those in the observation room couldn't hear what the two of them were discussing.
That's why they were so surprised by the sudden decision to stop and rest.
"That's not right. Zhang Shaohua's group, with the flags they've obtained, should be ranked in the top three. They shouldn't be giving up," someone couldn't help but analyze.
Although the newcomers didn't know how many flags other teams had, they could infer the difficulty based on the flags they had obtained along the way.
Zhang Shaohua and his companion must have known they had quite a few flags!
"Let's see what they do next," was all the people in the observation room could say.
Only Elder Zhao, watching Zhang Shaohua's actions, showed a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
It seemed he had already figured out what their young master planned to do!
However, Elder Zhao didn't say anything, just watched calmly.
At this moment, Elder Zhu approached.
"Elder Zhao, have you figured out what our young master is doing?" Elder Zhu asked with a smile.
Elder Zhao nodded, "Yes, this time our young master will definitely get first place."
Elder Zhu chuckled, revealing a look of immense satisfaction.
Clearly, the two of them knew exactly what Zhang Shaohua was planning!
When they saw others puzzled by Zhang Shaohua's intentions, a great sense of satisfaction filled their hearts.
Night fell.
The island was surrounded by the sea, and as night descended, the humidity became exceptionally heavy.
The newcomers who had been struggling to find flags on the island during the day had mostly found resting places and fallen asleep peacefully.
Due to the fatigue of the day, they slept soundly.
"Rustle, rustle..."
A sound came from the bushes.
The figures of Zhang Shaohua and Ouyang Feng appeared near the temporary resting spots of others.
They crouched in the bushes, watching the two people ahead with cold eyes.
However, the individuals sleeping soundly in the tree hollow remained completely unaware!
"Now?" Ouyang Feng whispered, his lips barely moving.
Zhang Shaohua shook his head.
Even though the others were asleep, their sleep might not be deep.
They might wake up as soon as they approached.
Therefore, they needed to find the location of the flags before getting close!
Otherwise, they might wake the people up and gain nothing.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Shaohua observed the situation inside the tree hollow.
One of the two newcomers was leaning against the entrance, while the other was lying flat inside.
This created an empty space in the middle.
This would be the most suitable place to hide something!
After observing for a while, Zhang Shaohua pulled Ouyang Feng over and whispered a few words.
Ouyang Feng nodded repeatedly.
After their brief exchange, Ouyang Feng cautiously tiptoed towards the tree hollow.
Zhang Shaohua remained in place, keeping watch!
Ouyang Feng moved quickly, and in no time, he reached the side of the two unfortunate individuals.
He immediately spotted their backpack, which they were guarding.
A hint of red was visible from the opening of the backpack.
It was the small flag!
Ouyang Feng's eyes lit up. He quickly reached out, not caring if his movements would wake them up.
He directly grabbed the backpack and ran!
Zhang Shaohua was already waiting in the bushes. Seeing Ouyang Feng return, he immediately pushed aside the branches to facilitate his escape!
At this moment,
The two unfortunate individuals whose backpack had been stolen were awakened by Ouyang Feng's movement.
They groggily opened their eyes and immediately noticed that their backpack was missing!
At the same time, Ouyang Feng's figure reappeared in the distance.
The sleepiness vanished instantly, and they immediately gave chase!
"It's over, our things were stolen!"
One of the unfortunate individuals said breathlessly.
The other also had a grim expression and shouted at Ouyang Feng's retreating back, "Thief, stop right there!"
They had worked hard for the entire day to find these fourteen small flags.
And now, they were all gone!
Ouyang Feng and Zhang Shaohua paid no attention to their shouts.
Taking advantage of their prior reconnaissance and familiarity with the terrain, they weaved through the bushes and fled like the wind!
This left the two unfortunate individuals behind, chasing them all the way but losing sight of them!
Seeing no sign of anyone and hearing no sound, the two unfortunate individuals finally stopped, panting and supporting their knees.
Their eyes blazed with anger!
"What do we do? Our things were snatched away!" one said with a mournful face.
"Did you get a good look at their faces?" the other, who was calmer, asked.
However,
Ouyang Feng and Zhang Shaohua had always kept their backs to them.
So, they had only seen their backs!
No other information was available!
At this point, the two of them were on the verge of tears.
The training project would end at noon tomorrow.
And the flags they had worked so hard to find had been stolen.
With only the morning left tomorrow, how many more flags could they find?
At this rate, they might not even pass!
Thinking of their families' earnest instructions before they left,
The two of them wished they could just disappear.
"Let's search. They can't have gone far. Everyone was looking for flags during the day, I refuse to believe they have more stamina than us?" the two gritted their teeth, still unwilling to give up.
Giving up now would mean forfeiting their performance in this training.
After all,
After a day of searching, most of the small flags on the island had already been found by everyone.
Even if they could find more, it would only be scattered ones that were forgotten.
If they didn't get back the stolen flags, they would truly fail!
But how could they possibly find them?
Ouyang Feng and Zhang Shaohua had scouted ahead.
They had already disappeared without a trace, and it was difficult to know where they had gone!
In the middle of the night,
The two unfortunate individuals wandered the island like lost souls, searching for the culprits.
Meanwhile, Zhang Shaohua had already arrived at the second location, ready to act!
"Young Master Zhang, the backpack we just stole is enough for us to get first place. Why do we need to steal more?" Ouyang Feng asked in confusion.
They now had twenty-four flags in their possession!
Without a doubt, this far surpassed any other team.
They just needed to secure the flags and have a good sleep.
Tomorrow noon, they were guaranteed to get first place!
Zhang Shaohua glanced at Ouyang Feng with a look of disdain that was almost overflowing!
"Are you stupid? Do you think others won't steal?" Zhang Shaohua said directly.
Normally, a team would find around ten flags during the day.
But if someone stole flags from others, as long as they succeeded once, their number of flags would effectively double!
