Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

At this point, he paused for a moment, then sighed deeply, "This way, among the four teams, we are the only one that truly has no way out."

"In theory, the Meteor team can be considered our ally, but their primary goal must be to ensure their own team's advancement, rather than to do their utmost to assist us."

"In a gaming competition, any so-called ally is unreliable. The only one we can rely on is ourselves!"

At this time, the middle-aged man with a flat head who had been silent all this time also expressed his opinion, "I support De Zheng's point of view. The relationship between the four teams is not black and white, and there is no so-called betrayal."

"What's more, we are only doing this to save ourselves, which is understandable."

Several team members stated their positions, and then all looked at James Bang, who was looking down in thought.

On such an important decision-making issue, the opinion of their captain is the final deciding factor.

At this time, Sikong Mingshen showed a meaningful smile on his face, and suddenly interrupted and asked: "Captain Zhan Shibang, I want to ask you a question, how many people are there in the 'Meteor' team?"

James Bang looked up, confused by the other party's simple question, but he still answered, "There are five of them in total, no...wait, it seems that there are not five people, but four people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he froze in place, and a chill came from behind.

Why did he first think that the Meteor team had five members? He didn't have Alzheimer's, so how could he make a mistake with such a simple number?

"Hey, are there five people on the Meteor team?" The purple-haired girl Tong Xin felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and she looked at the red-haired man next to her in confusion.

De Zheng frowned, thought about it carefully, shook his head, and whispered to himself: "No, there are only four of them. The captain is a young black-haired man, and the other three members are girls. One of the girls is extremely beautiful. I remember it very clearly, I can't be wrong."

"You are the one behind all this!" Zhan Shibang turned around abruptly, staring at Sikong Mingshen with a sharp gaze, "Your spiritual power is so strong that it can subtly influence our thinking!"

Tong Xin, De Zheng and the middle-aged man with the flat head exchanged glances, all revealing some doubts.

If it was really the spiritual power of Sikong Mingshen that was affecting them, why were the three of them not affected at all?

Sikong Mingshen took out a specially made note and threw it to Zhan Shibang, sneering: "Let's not talk about whether I have such ability or not. Even if I do have it, I can't use it because it will definitely violate the rules of the game."

"If you still have any doubts, you might as well take a look at what is written on the paper."

James Bang took the note and looked at it carefully, and the three people next to him quickly gathered around.

When their eyes fell upon the delicate description of the appearance on the note, a familiar figure immediately became clear in their minds.

"I remember now!" De Zheng slapped his head suddenly and said with sudden realization, "It's the pretty girl in the light green armor. Her presence is very weak and she is always easily overlooked."

"Turns out it was her..." Tong Xin also frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

"Think about it again." Sikong Mingshen interrupted coldly, "Have you seen her since the game started? She didn't even go to the crystal mining area. This makes me curious, what exactly does she want to do by hiding her tracks like this?"

A hint of sharpness flashed in Zhan Shibang's eyes, and he said gloomily: "Since Li Ming does not regard us as true allies, we don't have to have any illusions about him anymore."

"Captain Sikong Mingshen, please let me know how we should work together next."

"It's very simple." Sikong Mingshen explained, "According to the rules of the game, the number of crystals to be transported needs to be jointly decided by the two teams in the same camp."

"Therefore, we only need to communicate with each other and tell each other the number of crystals we transported. Moreover, the transportation area does not obstruct the line of sight. We can agree on a code to easily transmit information."

Zhan Shibang seemed to suddenly recall something, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. "Captain Sikong Mingshen, the statement you mentioned before that you can use mental power to penetrate the transport box and detect the items inside is probably fictional."

"Hahahaha..." Sikong Mingshen laughed loudly, "Captain Zhan Shibang, you are a smart man, but if we work together sincerely, can't we 100% sense the crystals in the transport box?"

Zhan Shibang also smiled, and then his face quickly turned serious, "Regarding cooperation, I agree in principle, but there is one condition that must be met!"

Seeing this, Sikong Mingshen also restrained his smile and responded calmly: "Please speak."

Zhan Shibang suddenly took out a palm-sized red crystal key and tossed it gently in his hand. "The condition is that we both need to exchange the treasure chest key!"

Sikong Mingshen was slightly startled, as if he had not expected Zhan Shibang to make such a request.

His face was slightly gloomy, and his tone was somewhat unhappy, "Captain James Bang, what is your intention in proposing such a condition?"

"The exchange of keys actually has no substantial impact on either of us. It just means storing the crystals that are transported through customs into the other party's treasure chest." James Bang explained with a smile.

However, Sikong Mingshen still maintained a stern expression, "I don't see the necessity of doing this."

Zhan Shibang waved his hand and said calmly: "Captain Sikong Mingshen, please allow me to speculate with caution. Only by exchanging keys can we truly feel at ease."

He paused and continued to explain, "The rules of the game are very clear. After all the rounds are over, the captain needs to open the box to check to determine the number of crystals each team has. The corresponding key is needed to open the treasure chest."

"Therefore, if you want our cooperation to be sincere and flawless, it is best for us to hold each other's lifeblood in our hands."

Hearing this, the other three looked at each other subconsciously, and a hint of joy appeared on their faces at the same time.

They didn't expect the captain to have such a clever idea. It was indeed a brilliant plan.

If the 'Tianyu' team has ill intentions and wants to play some tricks, they have to think carefully, after all, doing so will make them unable to escape elimination.

As expected, Sikong Mingshen did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Seeing this, Zhan Shibang slowly crossed his arms, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Captain Sikong Mingshen, this plan is extremely fair. I am willing to hand over my key to you, which has already shown my greatest sincerity."

"Are you unwilling? Or is your so-called cooperation just a cover to deceive us?"
