Chapter 65: The Gunner's talent is 'Clone'? A layout!
"What deep scheming; it turns out they were acting from the very beginning." Nan Xue Qing dared not "open the champagne" halfway through the match at this moment.
Her originally relaxed and comfortable mood was gone, replaced by worry.
Qi Ming chose to use a "counter-strategy" to flush Su Yang out and let the Chef perish together with the clone.
He had seen through Tian Yi's feelings for Su Yang early on.
And he used this tactic to make Su Yang show his hand and eliminate the uncertain variable.
If Su Yang hadn't thought of this, the traitor team would surely have smugly assumed the traitor's victory was set in stone.
In reality, he had already laid a trap, inviting them into the urn!
"In that case, the strategy you discussed last night is useless?" Nan Xue Qing said.
"Quite the opposite; they will still act according to the plan." Su Yang looked outside the cave and spoke thoughtfully.
"Wouldn't that just be asking to be toyed with by us? The Captain isn't that stupid, is he?"
"In the Captain's view, we would think the good guys are beyond saving and launch an attack while he is weak and isolated."
"If we do that, we'll fall right into his trap. If the Gunner suddenly strikes us by surprise, we can only escape to the Spirit Realm. But if the two of us run, what happens to her?" Su Yang pointed at the Doctor and asked.
"Then we know the Gunner is still alive, so we don't have to play along with his act anymore, right?" Nan Xue Qing was still puzzled.
"You've overlooked the most important point." Su Yang held up a finger, "The Captain's talent is unknown."
"I..." Nan Xue Qing wanted to argue, but suddenly realized the severity of the problem.
The traitor team's bottom line had already been seen through.
But the good guys' side not only had the big gun, but the Captain's talent was also unknown.
Making a move rashly would be extremely easy to trip over.
Nan Xue Qing first had to save her own life, and secondly, she couldn't let Jiang Yao die by an 'environmental kill'.
"Tell me your plan." Nan Xue Qing took a deep breath.
"They will definitely proceed according to the original plan; the Gunner won't show himself right away." Su Yang deduced Qi Ming's plan.
"You mean... the Captain wants to trick us into using our skills?"
"Even if the Werewolf crafts many totems, the 'mana' requires a lot of time to accumulate; it takes at least two hours to go from 0 to 1." Su Yang nodded and continued:
"It is known that the good guys have the big gun. To kill the Captain, one must open the fog, because the effective range of the firearms on both sides is not equal."
"Furthermore, in the case of opening the fog, the traitors' vision is also obstructed. To get close to the Captain, one must simultaneously release the skill to summon the Man-Eating Ghosts, just like in that battle this morning."
"In this way, if the Captain suddenly reveals a talent unfavorable to us, and the Gunner who was lying in ambush strikes, we will surely die."
After hearing his analysis, Nan Xue Qing suddenly felt she had no chance of winning at all.
It plummeted from a one-hundred-percent win rate to zero.
"Then we're doomed?" Nan Xue Qing stood up abruptly, her voice trembling slightly.
Su Yang could see that she not only didn't want to lose, but she wanted to win beautifully.
"It's simple: don't block them when they go up the mountain, and let them kill the Polar Bear." Su Yang said.
"Ah? Are we giving up?" Jiang Yao said miserably.
Nan Xue Qing also didn't understand; why let go of such a good opportunity for an ambush?
Judging by Su Yang's tone, it even felt like he was boosting others' morale while destroying his own.
Had he given up?
"Don't be anxious, sit down first." Su Yang pressed his hand down.
Nan Xue Qing crossed her arms and sat back in her original position, but this time she didn't shake her leg; instead, she sat straight, her expression focused.
She looked just like a student listening intently in a math class.
Jiang Yao also sat beside her, looking nervous, afraid of hearing bad news.
Seeing this, Su Yang found it somewhat amusing, "Don't panic. The enemy is in the light, we are in the dark; the advantage is ours."
"Not blocking them on the way up the mountain isn't giving up; the goal is to make the good guys suspicious."
"Once the plot doesn't go according to the Captain's preset, he will definitely panic!"
"Once he gets the nitroglycerin and blows up the iceberg, we won't have another chance." Nan Xue Qing frowned.
"You've hit the key point!" Su Yang's eyes gleamed.
Jiang Yao and Nan Xue Qing looked at each other, both seeing confusion in the other's eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"How heavy would a box of nitroglycerin capable of blowing up an entire iceberg be?" Su Yang threw out the question.
"I don't know, but it must be heavier than a backpack full of supplies."
"Assuming this thing weighs fifty kilograms, how much strength would one person need to carry the glycerin with one hand and fire the big gun with the other?" Su Yang's mouth curled into a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them suddenly woke up, their train of thought becoming clear.
Jiang Yao said excitedly: "You want him to make a move while he's carrying the glycerin!"
"Your brain is truly smart." Su Yang gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Yao smiled shyly.
"The Captain is at his most vulnerable when carrying the glycerin; the Gunner will definitely be unable to resist appearing to protect him." Nan Xue Qing discovered the key point.
"Nitroglycerin is extremely chemically unstable; the slightest bump could cause an explosion. That will be the best time to release the skill." Su Yang nodded.
Nan Xue Qing's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected this move.
Thinking of this, the look she cast toward the ship couldn't help but carry a bit of pity.
How miserable must the good guys be to encounter such an insidious and cunning traitor?
Qi Ming prided himself on being a chess player, controlling the overall situation.
Little did he know that Su Yang had already seen through his plan and laid a larger trap on top of it!
The warlike genes in Nan Xue Qing's body couldn't help but stir; she couldn't wait to see the good guys panicking and running for their lives.
Just thinking of that scene made her so excited she couldn't control herself, her delicate body trembling slightly.
She enjoyed the pleasure of tormenting people.
"Get some rest early; tomorrow morning, the explosion bell will ring." Su Yang climbed onto another hammock.
"Are you up to no good again?" Nan Xue Qing glanced at him.
"Just stalling for time. The blizzard will arrive tomorrow night; the longer we drag it out, the more anxious the good guys will be."
"Once they get anxious, they'll easily make mistakes, and our chances of winning will be greater." Su Yang said lazily.
"You really are a bad seed." Nan Xue Qing scolded with a smile.
"Likewise." Su Yang smiled noncommittally.
"Then let's sleep!" Jiang Yao giggled, hugging Nan Xue Qing's body tightly and burrowing into her chest.
There were only two hammocks in the tent, so Jiang Yao had to squeeze in with Nan Xue Qing.
Originally, Nan Xue Qing wanted Su Yang to sleep on the floor, but after hearing his plan tonight, she suddenly felt a deep sense of wariness toward this man.
If she offended Su Yang, there was no guarantee he wouldn't come up with an even more insidious and vicious plot to deal with her tomorrow.
Therefore, Nan Xue Qing could only squeeze into a hammock with Jiang Yao to rest.
Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she had to grit her teeth and accept it.
Su Yang put his hands behind his head, his thoughts drifting.
He hadn't laid out the entire plan, but had hidden a little something.
Everyone had their own ulterior motives; where was there any so-called impregnable fortress?
Whoever was ruthless enough would be the one to survive until the end.
"Big gun? Just a toy." Su Yang sneered. ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
