After spending a few minutes, Mo Shangjun explained to Liang Zhiqiong the reason why they could "only run."
There were just two reasons.
First, the mission only stated that they must return to base within the allotted time, or else they'd be penalized—there were no other additional objectives, such as clearing obstacles or capturing a certain number of "enemies." In other words, the appearance of enemies was most likely just to delay their time.
Second, their weapons and equipment were limited; they had almost used up all their bullets in the previous mission, and currently were in no condition to engage in a firefight. If they faced the enemies head-on, they'd be dead in no time.
Liang Zhiqiong nodded, feeling like she understood.
But even with such solid reasoning... how did they manage to react so quickly?
At the thought of it, she considered maybe these three weren't the same species as her, so she changed her approach, "What did you mean by 'we'll be there soon' earlier?"
