Chapter 436 All Wiped Out
Ten minutes later, Cory and Francis, who had been waiting outside, realized that Carlo hadn’t emerged from the cave yet. They knew that something must be wrong.
The strangest thing was that they were guarding the entrance of the cave, but they didn’t hear any movement from inside.
With Carlo’s ability, even if the other party was a powerful expert, he would be able to send them a final signal at a critical moment. There was no way he could just disappear without a trace.
Francis and Cory glanced at each other, and the perennial tacit understanding made the two of them understand each other’s intentions.
Inside, the cave was dimly lit, and the air was humid. The cave was a natural treasure place in the dense forest, easy to defend and hard to attack.
In order not to let the people inside the cave discover their presence, Francis and Cory chose to climb in slowly along the steep walls of the cave.
The cave was quiet inside. It was so quiet that even their breathing could be heard clearly. Francis slowly approached towards the depths, being extra careful.
Suddenly, he felt something wrong in the dark.
He subconsciously turned back, but it was already too late. The cold muzzle of the gun had been pressed against his forehead.
Francis wanted to resist, but after seeing who the person was, he silently gave up this stupid idea. Even if Branden could only move one hand now, he might not be a match for Branden.
It was because Branden knew him too well.
Knowing that there was no hope of escape, Francis prepared to inform Cory and ask him to leave. Branden seemed to see through his intentions and raised an eyebrow at him as he tilted his head.
Francis looked sideways, only to see that Cory was already at the mercy of Catherine’s gun. As for Carlo, he was leisurely leaning aside and eating his food. Francis gave up resistance, and Branden did not hesitate to “kill” him.
The trio of the Duncans were all wiped out. Catherine’s team got three more points and directly reached first place.
There were currently two teams left, and both of them had only one person left to fight alone. They didn’t have a chance to win against Catherine’s team.
After dealing with the trio, Branden pulled Catherine to sit down. There was still a long time before dawn, but this battle had already reached the final stage.
It was over far quicker than expected. With the three points just now, Catherine’s team was instantly on top, and she and Branden finally relaxed a little bit. Branden arrogantly set up a flame inside the cave and put the caught fish on the grill.
Under the heat of the flames, the appetizing aroma of the fish gradually spread out.
Carlo, who was still leisurely eating compressed crackers, suddenly felt that the crackers in his hand didn’t taste good anymore.
He stared longingly at the fish to assuage his hunger. Branden took the boxed meal out in front of him and heated it up with boiling water.
Instantly, the flavor of braised beef wafted through the air. Grilled fish and braised beef, not to mention Carlo, even Francis and Cory were about to be unable to resist.
Branden carefully placed the heated meal in front of Catherine to prevent her from getting burned.
“Eat something!”
Catherine didn’t refuse and reached out to take the food, taking small bites of the hot meal. Building a fire during the competition wasn’t because they were too arrogant. After all, their opponents were too weak.
Seeing her holding the lunch box, Branden was still a bit worried. He directly approached her, took the lunch box in her hand, and carried it for her.
Because it was a self-heating meal, the bottom of the lunch box was very hot, and it was easy to get burned if one was not careful. For those who were always training outside, this boiling heat was nothing at all, and no one would care.
Branden had always been well-bred, but now, for Catherine’s sake, he willingly carried the lunchbox so that Catherine could eat more comfortably.
Carlo was so shocked that his jaw dropped. He was here to be trained, not to be tortured.
Branden and Catherine’s intimate behavior hurt him deeply. Carlo leaned cheekily towards Cory and said, “Cory, why don’t you catch me two fish?”
Cory glanced at him in disgust and responded indifferently, “A dead person should shut up!”
Yeah, the three of them were now dead in this battle, and they didn’t even have the right to talk. Carlo, who had been struck once again, helplessly retreated to the sidelines and stared silently at what was happening in front of him.
The two remaining members of the other teams were wiped out by Catherine’s team at the moment of dawn.
In the end, Catherine’s team won.
Standing on the training ground, Catherine put her hands behind her back and looked at the trainers lined up in front of her. They all bowed their heads.
Catherine was considered very petite and delicate in a group of hunky boys who averaged over 5.9 feet tall.
However, her tiny body seemed to contain a huge power, and she had an overbearing aura that made all the brawny men present shiver a little bit.
She swept a glance towards the crowd, and everyone immediately lowered their heads in fear. Catherine said indifferently, her voice cold and vicious, “48 hours of dense forest combat, and only halfway through the time, all of you were wiped out. With such an achievement, do you guys have the cheek to stand here?”
Her powerful voice was like a sledgehammer pounding on everyone’s body. With experts like Catherine and Branden around, it was extremely difficult for them not to lose.
But no matter what, their performance this time was too poor, and the trainees did not dare to retort.
The usually arrogant and domineering elite talents all lowered their heads at this moment, behaving like timid little rabbits in front of Catherine.
During this round of training, Catherine eliminated three more people, and now the entire camp, plus Branden, totaled only 13 members.
“Except for 0399, all the rest will have extra training! Since you can’t win, you should train more! If it still doesn’t work, just wait for all of you to be eliminated!”
Branden stood on the side with a light smile on his perfect face, his deep eyes gazing straight in Catherine’s direction.
“Scatter!”
He slowly walked towards Catherine when the group dispersed at Catherine’s command.
“Come on. Let’s take a break!”
The two walked towards Catherine’s dormitory. As soon as Catherine entered the dormitory, she leaned over towards the camp bed on one side.
After lying on the hard rocks in the wild, even the camp bed made her feel comfortable. After lying down, Catherine took out her cell phone to play video games.
She hadn’t been online for a few days, and her teammates were looking for her like crazy. If she didn’t show up soon, they would probably post search notices all over the world.
The camp bed was small and could only fit one person.
After Branden came in, he sat in the chair on the side.
The petite chair didn’t match his long legs, and it looked a little funny. But Branden did not care. He leisurely leaned back and looked at Catherine with obsessive eyes, chatting casually with her.
“There’s only a week left of training. Shall we go back to Casier together then?”
