Chapter 697 - 697: Convinced

Translator: Lordbluefire

Ji Shuai’s face changed. The facts were right in front of him, and he simply couldn’t deny them anymore!

He then took a deep breath and said to the soldiers, ’’Put away your pistols. No more shooting from now on. I’m going to call the command center right now and ask them what’s going on.”

He nodded to the communications soldier.

The communications soldier immediately understood his meaning, so he took his communications equipment aside and prepared to input the password to contact the command center. But to his surprise…

The communications soldier’s eyes widened. “Captain, the phone, the phone is not working,,,11

The phone was broken!

Ji Shuai was stunned.

He rushed over, picked up the phone to check, and then looked at Yan Zixuan with astonishment!!

Yan Zixuan sighed. 1,Now you know, right? The supplies provided by Prince Jing Yi arc indeed problematic. As the Princess just said, there must be something wrong with your clothes as well…’’

There was something wrong with the clothes…

Ji Shuai clenched his jaw. He then picked up his own clothes and sniffed them. They wore full of sweat, but where could be the problem?

Shen Ruojing had said that the supplies provided by Jing Yi were problematic, and that was indeed true… plus the incident with the black gorilla.

As Ji Shuai was pondering, Shen Ruojing walked over. “Your clothes have a smell that can attract large animals. If you don’t believe me, let’s leave here now, and wait to see if the black gorilla can find you.”

Ji Shuai found this explanation to be very plausible.

Moreover, they were all dressed from inside out. They couldn’t possibly take it all off, could they?

Ji Shuai’s men followed behind the Yan family’s soldiers to verify this theory.

Each side followed their own leader; the difference was clear.

It was obvious that the Ji family’s soldiers had little trust in Shen Ruojing.

Only the young soldier, who had just been rescued, trusted Shen Ruojing very much and kept talking, “Captain Ji, why don’t we take off our clothes? I think the Princess’s words make sense. I feel like our clothes have a smell…1’

Ji Shuai.

The group of people left the spot, walked about ten kilometers, and then looked back, only to see that the black gorilla was indeed following them from a distance.

Even if Ji Shuai didn’t want to, he had to accept Shen Ruojing’s words now.

He frowned in silence.

Yan Zixuan discontentedly said, “What are you hesitating about? This is such a dangerous place, if we keep being tracked by this black gorilla, who knows what danger wo might encounter later!?”

Ji Shuai immediately coughed and looked at Shen Ruojing. ’’Should we take off our clothes then?”

Shen Ruojing nodded. “Of course, even if only the jackets are problematic, can you still wear your underwear now? It must have absorbed the smell too.”

Ji Shuai.

The men of the Ji family’s army all fell silent.

Seeing their reactions, Yan Zixuan was the first to understand. He chuckled and then said, ’’Brothers, take out your spare clothes and lend them to our comrades.”

The Yan family’s soldiers knew that this place would not be easy to live in and were prepared not to shower, but they had brought spare clothes for changing.

So upon hearing this, they took out their prepared change of clothes.

Fortunately, they had brought plenty of clothes…

Once the soldiers of the Ji family’s army had changed into their new clothes, Shen Ruojing threw their old clothes in the opposite direction, and they ran off.

After running for another two hours, the group stopped and looked back to find that the black gorilla didn’t follow them.

“Damn, it really was the clothes!”

“Prince Jing Yi is simply detestable! But we can’t get in touch with the command center now. How can we report this to them?”

“Arc we going to die here?”

The soldiers started whispering among themselves, but each one seemed a bit deflated. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing everyone like this, Ji Shuai and Yan Zixuan immediately spoke up, “What are you doing? We must got in touch with the command center. If we don’t make contact for a whole day, and they don’t get any news from us, they will know something has happened and they will send people to find us! What are you worried about?”

Hearing these words, the soldiers understood immediately.

Everyone finally relaxed.

Yan Zixuan and Ji Shuai spoke up again, “Our top priority now is to find the Luo family’s army immediately. Presumably, their clothes have problems too, and it would be disastrous if they wore harmed!”

Both sides reached a consensus and then headed in the direction they had set out.

Along the way, Yan Zixuan and Ji Shuai argued over the position of team leader, “Our two teams arc together now, so you have to follow my orders.”

Ji Shuai scoffed, “Why should 1?”

“On the grounds that the compressed biscuits you are eating now were given by our soldiers, and your clothes were provided by us. If you don’t want them, then take them off!”

Ji Shuai. “?”

Yan Zixuan was about to say something else when Luo Yan from the side suddenly said, “What are you guys arguing about? In my opinion, we should follow the orders of the Princess!”

Ji Shuai was immediately defiant. “1 won’t listen to a woman!”

“What’s wrong with women? It was the Princess who saved you and your soldiers just now!”

Ji Shuai snorted.. “I just won’t listen to women! Except for 518!!”
