If He Nu had really dared to charge in to save Song Ping, the result would have been dying together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensible move was for He Nu to hide, observe from the shadows, and bring the intelligence back to his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone understood this point, they refrained from blaming He Nu further, even Yu Cheng and Xie Xin remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Nu still kept his head down without saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actual situation was entirely opposite to He Nu’s explanation. He and Song Ping had infiltrated the Seventh Team of the Fifth Camp; He Nu volunteered to scout the enemy’s situation. Once he arrived, he revealed his friendly identity to the 5 members of the Seventh Team, but they were suspicious. To prove himself, He Nu lured Song Ping over and killed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Song Ping felt suffocated to the moment of death, he didn’t understand why he was eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From beginning to end, He Nu never explained the reason to Song Ping, only saying one sentence: \"You shouldn’t be alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Ping, wide-eyed, could only see the light on the wristband representing his contestant identity and Life Value extinguish in a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Song Ping was carried out of the arena by unknown robots maintaining the order of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, seeing everyone’s emotions had mostly calmed down, Ji You said: \"Wang Qiang’s approach was sensible but lacked empathy. I believe everyone wishes to have such a strategically-minded friend nearby, but wouldn’t necessarily want such a teammate! Because you’d always worry he might abandon you in times of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I just said, Wang Qiang made a mistake, and mistakes must be punished!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Qiang!\" Ji You shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Nu raised his head, straightened his back, and looked at Ji You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You said: \"Just punishing you to stick to your post, guard the base well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Nu hesitated but nodded: \"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meaning of this was to stay here and be prepared to act as an insider?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to the ears of others, Ji You seemed to be excluding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, Ji You didn’t plan to include Wang Qiang in this operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stick to the post?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a euphemism; bluntly speaking, it’s to reflect independently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, everyone didn’t know what to say. Yu Cheng hesitated a bit, saying: \"I... I think no need to punish him? His actions aren’t unjustifiable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You said: \"Punishment is just one part, the other is that our base must not be left empty, we need someone to guard it, and it must be someone bold and meticulous. I think Wang Qiang is quite suitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one sentence, Ji You made the decision, not allowing anyone else to speak. Seeing that Wang Qiang himself didn’t seem to oppose the idea, everyone stopped discussing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You waved a big hand: \"Follow me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before leaving, Ji You raised a hand and patted He Nu on the shoulder: \"Guard the rear well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Nu nodded vigorously: \"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You started walking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was strong, even a bit autocratic, but still, her abilities couldn’t be overlooked!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking along these lines, Xie Xin, Xia Bingbing, Zhang Wei followed Ji You’s pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Haoyue, He Yu, and the others quickly followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You led her 8 teammates hurriedly to not the enemy camp across the river but to the Sixth Team less than two kilometers away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large group rushed over plainly, without any disguise; how could the Sixth Team not notice?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, as soon as Ji You’s team approached, the Sixth Team’s scouts reported this to their squad leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad leader of the Sixth Team was a rather large chap, tall and fair-skinned, with sharp features, blond hair, and blue eyes, a standard Western face from Ancient Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His full name was Sean Patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the adjacent squad leader running over with a large team, Sean was a bit dumbfounded: \"Is she crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scout said: \"Squad leader, she probably wants to discuss collaboration with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\" Sean frowned, saying: \"We’re already allies, but I don’t plan to adventure with her! My mission is to lead my team in guarding the position, preventing enemy raids!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While still speaking, he saw a short girl approaching him, shouting as she walked: \"Hey! Buddy, listen to me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have a brilliant idea; don’t rush to reject it! It’s not too late to refuse after you’ve heard it.\" Ji You was afraid he’d cut her short without giving her a chance to speak, wanting desperately to spill everything she had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean completely missed the point, waving his hand: \"Leave. I don’t plan to join you in an ambush on the enemy team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You listened and blinked, quizzically asking: \"You actually know my plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean rolled his eyes, saying: \"Didn’t your two teammates come to persuade me in advance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh~\" Ji You raised her hand to scratch her head, somewhat embarrassed: \"I indeed sent them, but I didn’t mention raiding the enemy! I only asked them to persuade you to collaborate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean stared at the time, saying: \"No collaboration, you take your people and leave quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had his own plans underway and wasn’t going to adventure with Ji You.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ji You was quite inconsiderate, with each team’s base being vital, Sean anxiously setting up checkpoints and secrets, while Ji You brought a big group over, seemingly afraid others wouldn’t know his base location!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incredibly annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If enemy scouts were on lookout, wouldn’t this expose their base location?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! You won’t regret this!\" Ji You immediately felt upset, putting hands on hips, saying: \"This move will surely earn everyone quite a bit of points. You’re missing out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You said: \"You really won’t regret it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean frowned, eyes showing clear displeasure: \"I won’t regret it! Your damn ambush plan is laughable! Do you know what’s over there? Enemy force distribution? Weapons, personnel, geographical location... all these unknowns, and you want a big hit! Completely ridiculous! Leave now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji You opened her mouth, saying: \"Sean, you’ll definitely regret your arrogance, pride, and bias without thinking of progress!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean snorted: \"I won’t regret it! The one who should regret is you, fool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fool!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sean grew angrier, bellowing: \"Get out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take the fools behind you and leave my territory!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1121,"2026-06-06T08:14:55.703Z",1,"novelbin.me","66c09246630e95ee4cfa4c6aacb9884926ea2506f0a03cb3e58a42e7014c6ed6","the-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-chapter-1217","the-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-chapter-1215",1317,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-interstellar-queen-of-scavengers-cover.jpg"]
