Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

"That's right." A sharp cold light flashed across Zhan Shibang's eyes. "If the 'Tianyu' team refuses to lend a helping hand, we will have no way out. In this case, they can forget about getting away unscathed. Go home!"

Tong Xin pondered for a moment and agreed with this point of view.

She agreed, "Team Tianyu won't lose anything if they help us. On the contrary, if they choose to stand by and watch, they will have to pay a heavy price."

"When Sikong Mingshen comes over during the break, we should all be more resolute," Deyuan said, "and show a desperate attitude."

James Bang glanced at the three teammates beside him, then nodded slightly, "Let's do it."

After some discussion, everyone felt that although the situation was serious, it was not yet the end of the road.

Coupled with several rounds of exhaustion, their bodies and minds had reached their limits, so they fell into a deep sleep one after another.

However, the development of things was somewhat beyond their expectations.

The one and a half hour break was about to end, but Sikong Mingshen did not come to visit.

Although they had some doubts in their hearts, Zhan Shibang and others did not think much about it. Instead, they followed the usual practice and carried the transport boxes to the lounge of Li Ming's team.

"From now on, our team will only choose to transport one crystal each time." Li Ming said lightly.

"Well... can I ask the reason?" Zhan Shibang was really confused. "So many teams are fighting hard for the chance to advance, why would you give up so easily?"

"I..." Li Ming hesitated for a moment and did not respond directly. Instead, he asked, "Excuse me, has your team ever made it to the quarterfinals in a seven-star difficulty competition?"

"No." Zhan Shibang shook his head frankly. "In the 7-star competition, our best result was only entering the top 16. It is precisely because we were eliminated last time that we are in the current predicament of not having enough survival points to pay the penalty."

Tong Xin keenly grasped the key point and quickly asked: "Excuse me, Captain Li Ming, is there anything different after entering the quarterfinals?"

"Yeah." Li Ming nodded. "After entering the quarterfinals, the situation is indeed a little different. The most significant change is that the difficulty of the game will increase dramatically, accompanied by extremely high danger."

"To be honest, since our team is not fully staffed, we don't have much confidence in continuing to win in the quarterfinals, so I came up with some other ideas."

Zhan Shibang and others looked at each other, they were still skeptical about what Li Ming said.

However, the most important thing right now is to overcome the current difficulties. As for what changes will occur after entering the quarterfinals, there is no need to think too much about it for the time being.

Tong Xin blinked her eyes smartly, a hint of coquettishness in her voice, and said softly: "Captain Li Ming, if you really have no intention of advancing, I wonder if you can help us a little? In return, we will also give you some benefits."

Her appearance made Cecily, Xingmei and Dongmen Qiansha feel a little unhappy.

It is despicable that this woman actually tried to use her beauty to seduce their captain.

"Well, that's easy to negotiate." Li Ming smiled as he put a crystal into the shipping box. He then changed the subject and said, "You can choose to bid with the 'Flower of the Yan' team. You can bid once in each round. I will help whoever bids the highest."

"Don't say that. After all, we are in the same camp." Tong Xin smiled charmingly and moved a little closer. "If we help each other, it will benefit everyone, including you and me."

Dongmen Qiansha frowned, and her figure moved quickly, instantly blocking the two of them. She said coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it nicely, don't even think about making a move."

Tong Xin's face froze slightly, but she quickly concealed it and showed a pitiful look instead, "Alas, if we had a choice, we wouldn't have to advance, but the reality is cruel. Not advancing means death. We are really helpless."

"In that case, we must decisively abandon those material possessions when the time comes. After all, only by living can we have hope for the future." Li Ming responded indifferently.

This sentence was straightforward and ruthless, causing a trace of gloom to flash across the faces of James Bang and others.

Although they were dissatisfied, they could do nothing about it.

As the familiar mechanical prompt sound echoed in everyone's ears, it marked that the fourth crystal transportation mission was about to begin.

This time, Sikong Mingshen still chose to transport two crystals.

And Li Ming guessed wrong again, not surprisingly, the number he guessed was three.

When the task of transporting the crystals came to Li Ming, he frankly told the person across from the red crystal table that there was only one crystal in the box.

Sikong Mingshen did not comment on this, and still chose the strategy of 'guessing the big and letting go of the small', giving the answer of three crystal stones.

When the transport box was slowly opened, revealing a lone crystal stone inside, he sneered, "It seems that you really intend to give up the promotion. Is this the limit of your courage?"

"Who said we are few in number?" Li Ming didn't seem to care about Sikong Mingshen's ridicule. He easily picked up the transport box on the table, stored the crystals into the treasury, and walked out of the transport area calmly.

Until this moment, the talents of the 'Flower of Evolution' and 'Wrath of the God of War' teams were truly convinced that the 'Meteor' team had given up the chance to advance and was planning to sell crystals to them instead.

This news brings both advantages and disadvantages to both teams.

The advantage is that it directly reduces a strong competitor, which undoubtedly increases their possibility of advancement.

But the disadvantages are also obvious.

Giving up promotion means that the 'Meteor' team needs to pay a huge penalty, and these penalty fees will eventually need to be earned back from the two teams. If they still want to compete for the promotion spots, heavy bleeding is inevitable.

Next, it was James Bond's turn to transport the crystals.

Since he didn't reveal any flaws, Gibson didn't dare to take any risks and had no choice but to choose the number with the least risk, three.

It turned out that the guess was wrong, there were only two crystals in the box.

But when Gibson was responsible for transporting the crystals, a very dramatic scene took place.

After a series of impassioned reasoning, James Bond gave his final answer with absolute certainty: two crystals.

However, the moment the transport box was opened, he was stunned for an instant.

There were three crystals lying quietly in the box, as if they were silently laughing at his mistake.

"This is impossible!" James Bang's mind was in chaos.

Sikong Mingshen clearly gave him the code for two crystals, but three crystals appeared in the box. What was going on?
