The coordinator ignored their quiet conversation and raised a hand, signaling the staff to step forward. Each child was given a basic cell phone, and a tag was fastened around each of their

waists.

“Turn them on.”

Everyone did as instructed.

The next second, a soft green light lit up on the tags of most of the children.

Only five scattered individuals had tags glowing with a glaring red light.

“The red lights are the prey,” the coordinator explained flatly. “The green lights are the hunters. The red team will get a three–hour head start to run. The hunters only need to capture all of the prey to win.”

It sounded just like one of those chase games people played on their phones.

But this was a real wilderness survival exercise, and none of these kids were pushovers.

The moment the green lights appeared, the innocent curiosity on their faces vanished. One by one, they fixed their eyes on the five flashing red lights without bothering to hide their aggression.

Maya was one of the red–light holders.

Almost the instant she saw the color of her tag, she grabbed Alfred’s wrist. “Run.”

The siblings reacted with astonishing speed and immediately dashed into the forest.

The other three children followed after them.

One boy quickly caught up as he ran.

“Hey, wait for us! There are only five of us on the same team. Why are you two running so fast?”

Maya answered as if it were obvious. “We’re trying to stay alive. If you run slower, then you can cover the rear. Don’t worry. The two of us will survive just fine. You can just sit back and wait for

us to win.”

A moment of silence followed.

Seriously?

How could anyone be this confident?

The boy had a whole list of complaints he wanted to make.

The area was filled with mountains and dense forests.

The tracking system on the phones worked both ways.

The children with green lights could see the exact locations of Maya’s group on their screens.

Maya could also see the positions of the children relentlessly chasing them.

After running for a while, the boy spoke nervously, “We should split up. If we stay together, it’ll be easier for them to catch us all at once.”

Maya agreed with that idea.

As long as even one of the five prey escaped capture, they would win.

The rules were more than merciful. Compared to previous years, this was practically a children’s game.

But who wanted to watch children play games?

When news reached the Clark Residence, several old–timers who cared deeply about this training exercise were furious after learning what this year’s rules were like.

“I don’t agree with this.”

The Clarks had countless children just among the collateral branches alone. Generation after generation had fought their way through ruthless selection processes.

If you weren’t smart enough, ruthless enough, or steady enough, you would eventually be replaced.

If you wanted to judge a child’s character, you had to throw them into extreme conditions and see who was smarter, more capable, and more willing to do whatever it took.

“Edric was the one who changed the rules?”

“Yes,” someone beside him replied quietly. “Mr. Philbert put him fully in charge of this training exercise,”

The expression of a middle–aged uncle immediately darkened. “Edric’s too soft–hearted. A game like this won’t train anyone.”

His voice carried an unmistakable edge. “Go. Have them drop 10 knives into the area,

with five tranquilizer guns. Let’s make this training a little more interesting. If Alfred doesn’t see some blood, how’s he ever supposed to grow up?”

“I’m afraid Mr. Edric won’t be happy about that,” his subordinate said uneasily. “He’s been watching Mr. Alfred throughout the entire exercise. He’s keeping a very close eye on him.”

The middle–aged man let out a dismissive laugh, completely unconcerned. “Isn’t someone already protecting them? What could possibly happen? Besides, I’m his elder. Is Edric really going to fall out with me over something this minor?”

Hadn’t his younger brothers all survived these kinds of bloody rules before?

When had Edric ever truly cared about anyone?

Maya tightened her grip on Alfred’s wrist and kept moving, leading him straight into a rough and difficult stretch of wilderness.

With only three hours to escape and trackers broadcasting their positions in real time, their only option was to find a way to endure until the end.
