Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Shen Nian: "But how could I know when I entered the forest?"

Qiao Yue said, "You may not be good enough, but that doesn't mean others aren't." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Shi Qi.

Shen Nian followed his gaze to Shi Qi, clapping her hands: "That's right! We still have Brother Shi, our S-class alpha! Brother Shi, tell us quickly, when did we come in..."

Shi Dian nodded: "It was about 20 minutes ago, and I estimate we got off the bus about five minutes ago."

After that was said, everything became clear. Almost as soon as Shi Qi finished speaking, Chen Ziyang quickly looked down and marked a general area on the map.

Only after finishing did I belatedly realize I was a little embarrassed: "Is this...?"

Shi Qi looked at the area marked on the map, roughly four-thirds of the way from left to right: "Hmm, you drew it correctly."

Shen Nian: "Oh my, Ziyang, I didn't realize you were such a tech stock!"

Chen Ziyang blushed and scratched his head: "So, which direction should we go now?"

Shi Qi pondered for a moment: "Let's head west, to the center of the forest." He knew he would encounter Shi Shuo there; as the saying goes, opportunities abound around the protagonist. Besides, only by meeting Shi Shuo could he advance his main quest.

The group moved forward without much concern, since one of them sometimes acted as a human radar, able to sense anyone approaching in advance.

Shen Nian: "Brother Shi, do you think we've reached the central area yet? We've eliminated so many people along the way..." He counted on his fingers: "Six teams, right? If we don't get there soon, I'm going to collapse from exhaustion!"

Actually, Shen Nian's complexion was much better than the other two, but the other two had been holding back, and only Shen Nian, who wasn't particularly tired, brought it up.

"Let's take a break here. There's still a long time before the monthly test ends." They've been walking continuously for three hours now, so it's time for a rest.

"How are the rankings going?" Qi Ye asked An Jianxing, his eyes still fixed on the monitor of Shi Qi's group.

An Jianxing asked in disbelief, "Are you blind? The rankings are right on the leftmost screen, aren't they? Can't you see them yourself?"

Qi Ye: "Stop talking nonsense. I told you to look, so just look. Aren't you happy about it?"

Defeated by Qi Ye's tyranny, An Jianxing exclaimed, "I'm happy! I'm so happy I could die!..." Turning his head to look at the screen on the left, he knew exactly what Qi Ye wanted to know: "Shi Er's group is currently ranked... second?!"

An Jianxing murmured, "Wasn't it in first place not long ago?"

Qi Ye turned around upon hearing this: "What do you mean by that?"

An Jianxing: "Originally, the number of people eliminated in the Shiqi group was 12 ahead of the second place, but I didn't expect them to be overtaken so quickly; and the one that overtook them was not even the original second place."

This is definitely not normal; there's no reason for the rankings to rise so quickly. Clearly, the instructors who have been closely monitoring the ranking changes have noticed this unusual situation.

"Who led the team that came in first place?" Qi Ye asked coldly.

The class monitor stepped forward: "Reporting to the Marshal! It's me..." Actually, when he saw the change in rankings, his heart sank.

Qi Ye then asked, "Are you sure you carefully checked them before the exam to make sure they weren't carrying anything that didn't comply with the monthly test rules?"

The squad leader replied, "I'm sure, I can vouch for it with my rank, all the checks before the exam were conducted according to the rules." After he finished speaking, another squad leader jumped out and said, "Reporting to the Marshal! During the check, I was next to him, and he did indeed conduct the check according to the rules."

Qi Ye nodded, believing them, because he didn't think it was possible for two people in an army to lie about the same thing. Unable to find direct evidence immediately, Qi Ye had no choice but to temporarily access the first group's real-time surveillance footage.

The four members of this group were lying in ambush in some bushes, presumably ambushing another team. After watching for a while, Shi Qi's group suddenly appeared in the frame and rested on the spot without even realizing it.

What?! Shi Qi didn't even notice there were other people here?

Everyone present changed their expressions, because they all knew how strong the mental power of an S-class alpha would be.

Shen Nian: "Brother Shi, when will the airdrop arrive? We're not only stuck with newbie gear, but we also have nothing to eat."

Shi Qi said, "At least there's still water." As he spoke, he tilted his head back and took a sip.

As he looked up, he vaguely saw a faint reflection in the bushes not far away: "Everyone, lie down!"

Although they didn't know why, the other three instinctively lay down. The next moment, a bullet specially made for the monthly test hit Shen Nian, just a few centimeters away from him. If he hadn't lay down, he would have been eliminated.

Shi Qi was puzzled. How could he not have any sense of the ambush by this team?

"Doggy, did you notice anyone around us just now?"

007 shook his head: "Without the host's command, I can only use my eyes to perceive the environment."

After the shot missed, the group quickly left their original positions, and Shi Qi, who was the first to be seen, now had his gun raised.

As Shen Nian took out a gun from his tactical bag, he asked Shi Qi, "Brother Shi? Didn't you notice anyone over there just now?"

Shi Qi's expression turned serious: "No..." he said, and quickly fired a shot towards the ambush site. But the people on the other side had clearly made their next move after that shot missed.

Shi Qi's shot did hit one of the people, but it didn't hit any vital parts, so it didn't result in elimination.

The three of them then looked in that direction, but there was no one there.

Shen Nian: "Damn it, they got away."

Qiao Yue: "The fact that they chose to run away shows that their overall strength is not strong."

Shen Nian nodded: "But how come they were able to get so close to us without being detected by Brother Shi? Do they have some special way of concealing their presence?"

Qiao Yue shook his head, clearly he didn't know either. But everyone knew perfectly well that even if such a thing existed, it wouldn't be allowed to be used.

Chen Ziyang asked, "So, should we give chase now?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "There's no need for that. Although they might pose a threat to us, they've most likely cheated. Once they're suspected, I believe someone will come and take them away soon." In short, he didn't believe Qi Ye could tolerate the existence of suspected cheaters.

Sure enough, this first-place team had only been running for a few minutes when they were stopped by the officer who had been sent to take away the eliminated soldiers: "Come with us..."
