"Just now... just now... I discovered I’ve forgotten the scene of our first meeting, and the memories... they’re fading faster and faster... I remember seeing you without bandages, but I’ve forgotten what it looked like..."

The other person’s gaze remained clear, yet held a touch of confusion and deep thought, with no worry about the impending death, "One last thing to say... if you really are my partner, then before all my memories disappear... kill me..."

It seemed as if that person’s voice was still in her ears. Su Jiameng snapped back to herself and couldn’t help but rub her forehead. Was she too idle now? Why was she recalling things from decades ago? Upon reflection, she found she couldn’t quite remember the person’s face either, only vaguely recalling a silly smile that didn’t match their intelligence at all, and the voice pleading for her to kill him before he died...

"It’s not just the Insect Race that can devour someone’s memory, but time as well..." Su Jiameng pressed her forehead tighter, trying to wake up from the past memories. Standing dumbfounded for a while, she muttered to herself, "You’ll definitely have a part in a novel..."

After muttering, it was as if she wanted to escape something, shifting her focus away from memories, and then carefully observed the map again, forming a rough plan in her mind. She took off her backpack, brought out a large pile of Space Hubs, her eyes shimmering.

On the other hand, Liu Dongyi and the other core members of the Iron Lion Team gathered together through special coordinates of the same camp.

Liu Lanyue was more inclined to directly find Su Jiameng and act quickly.

"With over a thousand people searching for one person, and everyone contacting each other through the battle channel, our mobility and reaction speed will always outmatch hers. Even if her strength is formidable and a few can’t stop her, dragging out time is enough. As long as time is bought, once reinforcements arrive, there’s no suspense in victory or defeat."

Liu Dongyi lazily glanced upwards, "So, you’re more inclined to pile people on to crush the enemy, Lanyue? Don’t forget, now is a mixed battle, not a simple gang fight... There’s one thing that Miss Su said that is very right, since it’s a mixed battle, it should be fought in a mixed battle style. Fighting a mixed battle with individual match tactics, losing won’t even give you the face to say ’I wasn’t as skilled.’

Gang fighting is too simple and brutal: encounter an enemy and chop them down, and if you chop them down or get chopped down yourself, the match ends. In this way, what’s the difference between a mixed battle and an individual match?

It’s just that the number of people in a mixed battle is more than in an individual match, so the scene looks more exciting, more bloody, more violent? Obviously, this isn’t the fundamental ’gameplay’ of a mixed battle."

Seeing her sister speak up, Liu Lanyue pursed her lips in grievance. She knows these things, but her personality dictates she prefers unleashing unrestrained combat, the kind that makes one’s blood boil just thinking about it.

No need to restrain her thoughts, no need to suppress the desire to fight; her eyes only have the enemy, and her mind is set on—defeating the opponent!

Compared to those complex thoughts and various constraints, she loves straightforwardness and enjoying the thrill brought by combat.

"Since the other party wants to play a mixed battle, let’s accompany them all the way... Don’t forget, it’s not like we don’t have a Commander in our team..." With that, Liu Dongyi suddenly smiled faintly, startling everyone...

Su Yanjing was not piloting a Mecha; instead, he was measuring the land with his own feet, quickly shuttling through the dense forest.

Those bizarre and thorny branches had no effect on him, and after almost ten minutes, he remained neat and tidy.

"Almost there..." Stopping, he stood on the fork of a thick, dozens of meters-high tree branch, raised his hand to open the map, and found that the small yellow dots almost covered the entire map, while the red dots indicating enemies had yet to appear!

This is one of the fun aspects of a mixed battle map: only when an ally discovers an enemy figure does a red dot, representing the enemy camp, appear on the map. One appears per discovery; if not, none appear.

And now, the entire screen was full of small yellow dots, the red dots’ location unknown... 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

It was indeed perplexing, but Su Yanjing was very keen on investigating everything about the "Queen," little by little gathering the information she revealed online, then combining and analyzing it...

"Hide in plain sight..." Su Yanjing mumbled, staring at a certain spot on the map for a long time, the only place untouched by small yellow dots, which was likely... Su Jiameng’s current hiding spot?

After pondering briefly with slightly closed eyes, Su Yanjing changed direction and sped towards another way, his steps showing no trace of panic.

Didi—just as he was thinking, someone privately contacted him through the mixed battle channel. It must be that Grand Uncle!

"Xiao Jing, where are you now? All I see on my screen are small yellow dots, I can’t tell who’s who..." Su Lu squatted on the spot, bored as she lifted a corner of her jacket to fan herself, "Do you want to come here? There’s a hot spring..."

"Enjoy it yourself!" Su Yanjing tersely replied, then abruptly ended the connection, temporarily shutting his Grand Uncle Su Lu in a small dark room. For what came next, he didn’t want a Grand Uncle named Su Lu jumping out to cause trouble.

Watching as the distance between himself and the destination coordinate on the map grew smaller, Su Yanjing’s lips seemed to soften a bit, though his eyes brimmed with rarely seen fighting spirit! That fighting spirit was no joke but a real and intense thirst for battle!

"Sure enough... it’s here!" He emerged from the forest; just a few meters away lay a vast open space dotted with strange stone formations... (To be continued.
