Chapter 160 Deserted Island Game 4

As soon as the news was announced, the crowd exploded with complaints coming one after another.

"Ah, why is it like this? We can't even choose our own teammates and have to follow these inexplicable rules." A burly man shouted with dissatisfaction on his face.

"That's right, if I'm assigned a few weak teammates, I'll be completely finished in this game and won't have any chance at all." A girl with a ponytail also echoed, her brows furrowed, her eyes full of worry.

Zhou Zhixia's heart tightened when she heard these complaints, but she forced herself to remain calm and quickly turned her phone over to look at the numbers on the back. When she saw the eye-catching "11", she was stunned for a moment, then she looked at Lingjiu, motioning for him to check as well.

When she saw the number "Nine" on the back of Lingjiu's phone, Zhou Zhixia finally showed a relieved smile on her face. She patted her chest gently and said, "That's great, Lingjiu, we are still a team. This is a blessing in disguise."

"I just don't know what number that person is?" Zhou Zhixia frowned slightly as she stood in the bustling crowd. Her anxiety drove her feet involuntarily, taking small, brisk steps. She trotted through the crowd, heading straight for the man. A gentle breeze blew past, ruffling a few strands of hair from her forehead, but it didn't slow her pace at all.

When she reached the man, she was panting slightly, her cheeks flushed from running. She asked softly with a polite smile, "Hello... Hello, what's your number?"

The man smiled faintly when he heard her question. He calmly turned the phone over to Zhou Zhixia and said with a gentle look, "Number 12."

Zhou Zhixia's eyes lit up instantly. She was so excited that she almost jumped up. Her feet seemed to have springs on them, and she quickly raised her phone high to show it to the man. The movement was done in one smooth motion, and she excitedly said, "Then we're on the same team! Look, my number is eleven."

The man's eyes curved into crescents, a look of friendliness and joy in them. He nodded slightly, his voice low and magnetic: "My name is Mu Zheng. From now on, we'll be teammates. I'm happy to fight alongside you."

"My name is Zhou Zhixia, and this is my friend Lingjiu." Zhou Zhixia responded enthusiastically, but the moment she turned her head, the smile on her face froze, replaced by a look of confusion. She couldn't help but blurt out: "Hey, where's Lingjiu? She was just here, how come she disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Mu Zheng glanced around. The crowd around him was still noisy, their shouts intertwined. Mu Zheng raised his hand and pointed at a girl standing under a tree in the distance and asked, "Is that her?"

Zhou Zhixia looked in the direction of his finger and saw Lingjiu standing under an ancient oak tree, its shade covering her like a canopy. A man sat not far from Lingjiu. Zhou Zhixia nodded gently and replied, "Yes, it's her. It's really strange, why is she with that man?"

Zhou Zhixia was full of doubts and walked towards the direction of Lingjiu. Mu Zheng followed her without hesitation and the two of them walked towards the tree together.

Duan Yizhou's brow furrowed, his arms folded across his chest. He had originally planned to play this game alone. After all, he still had some confidence in his abilities, and past misfortunes had accustomed him to solitary pursuits, without having to worry about implicating others. However, the announcement was like a hammer, shattering his plans.

"Four people in a group, and we have to form teams by number?" He muttered to himself, a hint of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. "This is really getting tricky."

He was immersed in his own thoughts when suddenly, a slight sound of clothes rubbing came into his ears. He subconsciously turned his head and saw a girl sitting quietly beside him.

At that moment, his eyes were drawn to the girl's face. Her delicate features seemed to emit a soft halo in the sunlight, and her long, shiny black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, a few strands of hair gently fluttering in the breeze. Duan Yizhou couldn't help but be slightly startled, thinking to himself, "With this appearance, in a game like this, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of trouble like a magnet attracts iron filings."

Thinking of this, he gave a helpless smile and laughed at himself in his heart: "I'm still struggling in this quagmire, and I actually have the leisure to worry about other people's affairs."

Just as he was about to look away, he caught a glimpse of the number "Nine" on the back of the girl's phone. This sight made his heart tighten, as if being gripped by an invisible hand. His mind flashed to the number "Ten" displayed on his own phone, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "What a coincidence!"

"Zero Nine!"

The girl slowly raised her head when she heard the call. Duan Yizhou followed her gaze and saw a man and a woman walking towards them. At this moment, Zhou Zhixia, with a smile on his face, excitedly walked over to Lingjiu, sat down, and said in a light voice, "Lingjiu, his name is Mu Zheng, and he's our teammate! Now we only need number ten."

Duan Yizhou's gaze slowly moved between the three of them, as if examining and evaluating them. He paused for a moment on Mu Zheng, nodded slightly, and thought to himself, "This man exudes an aura that suggests he's been in the military. Teaming up with someone like him might significantly increase his chances of winning this game." He took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "I'm number ten."

Mu Zheng was visibly relieved when he heard this, and the tension on his face eased considerably. He stepped forward, extended his hand, and said sincerely, "My name is Mu Zheng. For the next three months, we'll be teammates."

To be honest, he was really worried about having to lead three girls on a quest alone. If that happened, the game would be too difficult for him, and he would have trouble completing his quest as an NPC.

Zhou Zhixia's eyes lit up, and with a surprised smile on his face he said, "This is such a coincidence!" Number 10 was so far away in the sky, and yet it was right in front of him, and it just popped out by itself.

Duan Yizhou stood up, his posture straight and straight. He nodded slightly, with a faint smile on his face, and greeted politely: "My name is Duan Yizhou. Please guide me from now on."

"Lingjiu," Lingjiu responded softly, her voice calm and without any waves.

"My name is Zhou Zhixia. Please take care of me in the future!" Zhou Zhixia said enthusiastically.
