He looked at the team members behind Gu Xiaoxi and continued to sneer, "Not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, you should have stayed well hidden under the wings, waiting to fly out only when your wings were strong enough. Otherwise, you die in vain."

This was disdain for the newcomer?!

Instantly, everyone felt full of displeasure.

"Squad 71, Gu Xiaoxi has met the seniors. Although we are new recruits, we also want to contribute our strength to the team. If you don’t need our support, then we’ll go by ourselves. Please send me a copy of your tracking map," Gu Xiaoxi said earnestly.

No matter where you are, it’s all about proving your strength.

She didn’t want to waste words with these self-righteous seniors, either.

"You want a tracking map? Hahaha! Sorry, we don’t have one! You set out on a mission, and you don’t even have a tracking map! What are you here for?" Bai Yi even laughed himself to the point of bending over backward.

Obviously, he held Gu Xiaoxi and the others in even lower esteem.

Willy was so angry that his face turned livid, these people were simply too much.

The reason they didn’t bring a map was that their superiors had sent them to support these two teams currently on a mission.

It was bad enough that they were looked down upon, but to not even be given a map clearly showed they were not needed for support.

Gu Xiaoxi clutched her weapon tightly, not wanting the relationship to become overly strained on account of the alliance.

"Senior, do you still need support? If not, we will immediately apply to the headquarters to carry out a mission on our own. If needed..."

"No need!"

Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t finished speaking. Huo Jin interrupted.

"Listen up, we don’t need help from recruits. Get lost quickly, and stop dragging us down," Huo Jin pointed at Gu Xiaoxi’s nose and said decisively.

Gu Xiaoxi stood up straight, glaring at him, her gaze gradually growing colder.

The other team members behind Huo Jin also sneered derisively, "What now? The newbies want to snatch our credit?"

"The thirty billion was already enough for us twenty to share. You few who drag us down also want a piece of the pie. Get lost as far as you can!"

Willy raised his fist and charged forward, punching Huo Jin in the face, "Scoundrel! Even if you won’t give it, who cares about being together with you."

"You dare to hit someone!" Huo Jin, covering the suddenly swollen half of his face, was furious.

As senior members, being hit by a newcomer was unacceptable.

Huo Jin was about to retaliate, and it looked like a fight was about to break out.

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly stepped forward and chided loudly, "Enough! Willy, apologize!"

"What? Why should I apologize!" Willy was exasperated, encountering such a scoundrel and still being told to apologize.

"Since the senior looks down on us, it’s better that we each go our own way. You were wrong to hit him," Gu Xiaoxi stated as Huo Jin returned a punch to Willy’s head.

Suddenly, Willy’s nose started bleeding.

He was about to hit back when Gu Xiaoxi grabbed him, looked at Huo Jin, and said, "Alright, now you’ve returned his punch. This matter can be considered fairly resolved. Since you don’t need us, then we’ll leave."

Gu Xiaoxi grabbed Willy by the shoulder and backed away.

Yun Xiao had never seen Gu Xiaoxi yield like this.

Willy, feeling humiliated from being hit, glared at Gu Xiaoxi and angrily said, "Aren’t you usually quite formidable? Always daring to teach others a lesson, what’s going on today? Playing the coward?"

Leaving Huo Jin and the others.

Gu Xiaoxi kicked Willy to the ground with a cold stare, "Who allowed you to strike first? I ask you, even if we ten people were to fight against twenty today, how would winning benefit us? Don’t forget, you’re just a newcomer to the International Alliance.

You don’t even know your way around the International Center Building yet, and you want to compete with these veterans?

If you’re so capable, then go by yourself! "

When it’s time to retreat, one must retreat; otherwise, it’s folly.

She didn’t want to be kicked out before she had a firm foothold.

Deal with them later. Once she has established a firm foothold, she can pick the time to strike.

At this moment, nobody spoke.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at everyone and scoffed, "A true man can bend and stretch. If you can’t keep your cool just because of a few taunts, what great things can you hope to accomplish?

Gold will always shine—not lose its luster at the mockery of others!

Willy, gritting his teeth, now realized that he had indeed been impulsive.

No wonder Gu Xiaoxi was so angry.

"I’m sorry, my mistake!" said Willy, his nose covered, as he stood up from the ground.

His clothes were already stained with blood.

Gu Xiaoxi gave him a glance and handed him two tissues, "From now on, keep quiet until I say otherwise. Even if you’re angry, don’t act rashly."

"Yes!"

Jing Haoran stuck out his tongue, feeling relieved that he had restrained himself just now.

If Gu Xiaoxi could contain her anger, then what couldn’t he endure?

Gu Xiaoxi made a call and got two tracking signal graphs of the Rat Kings from Jing Rui herself. Then, she led her team into the mountains in pursuit.

Compared to Gu Xiaoxi and her companions, Huo Jin’s team had advanced weapons and the strongest, scientifically developed protective armor.

It could be said that they would not fear an attack because the Rat King’s claws simply couldn’t penetrate the armor they wore, which was made from advanced aerospace technology and was indestructible.

They naturally had their advantages.

Although the Rat King moved quickly, it would need to stop for food.

So, the moment it stopped,

they would be caught up to by the helicopter.

Soon enough, the two Rat Kings were pursued once again.

Huo Jin and Bai Yi, leading their teams, charged forward.

Gu Xiaoxi, observing from the plane, took in the battle beneath them.

From the terrain, with mountains on either side and a valley in between, even if the Rat King wanted to escape, it would have to go along the valley floor towards the distance. There was no possibility of turning back.

Therefore, without hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi asked the pilot to take them to the valley ahead; they were going to airdrop from there.

To lie in ambush in the valley and intercept the Rat King.

The pilot was skeptical of Gu Xiaoxi and her team, not openly scornful like Huo Jin’s group but expressed concern, "Be careful. The headquarters has dispatched many teams, all of which have returned without success. If you can’t beat them, just run.

As long as you’re alive. These two creatures will be dealt with sooner or later. "

"Thank you for the concern. Don’t worry, I have a measure of the situation," Gu Xiaoxi replied with a smile. "Just wait for our good news. Make sure to record the battle for us. It wouldn’t be good if others took credit for our work."

"Of course!" The pilot’s responsibilities included tracking the Rat Kings and recording the battle to submit as evidence to headquarters, thereby securing the reward.

Gu Xiaoxi was the first to jump from the helicopter; the others parachuted to the ground.

No sooner had they landed when explosions rang out from the nearby woods.

The intense fighting startled the birds and beasts in the forest, sending them scattering in all directions.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly had everyone take up ambush positions, then laid out the battle plan.

On the other side, after several battles, Huo Jin and his men had yet to subdue the two Rat Kings, and had even lost two teammates, which filled them with complaints.
