I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 36 Am I becoming a little cunning?
After wandering around the deserted island for most of the day, Su Yu and the others finally found a place that could barely be used as shelter.
This is a pile of rocks located on the beach. The rocks are stacked on top of each other, forming gaps and grooves of different sizes.
The largest rock, several people tall, stands there steadily like a natural barrier.
Below the reef, there is a crevice that is more than a meter high and about two meters deep, which can provide shelter from the wind and rain.
Most importantly, countless smaller rocks are scattered around this large reef, like loyal guards surrounding it, which greatly obscures the figures of Su Yu and the others in the pile of rocks.
"Let's eat first."
As dusk approached, Su Yu took out three boxes of self-heating rice from his spatial wristwatch and handed two of them to Wu Baohua and Lu Jin.
"Hey, it's so easy following you. I don't have to search for supplies, and I'm never hungry."
Wu Baohua chuckled, took the self-heating rice from Su Yu, skillfully tore open the packaging, poured water onto the heating pack, arranged the lunchbox, closed the lid, and placed the self-heating rice in front of Lu Jin.
Before Lu Jin could speak, Wu Baohua picked up her self-heating meal and started preparing it.
Lu Jin gave Wu Baohua a grateful look. Although it was a small matter, it was still heartwarming to have such a caring older brother by her side.
"If we hadn't been through so much before, I would have thought we were here for a picnic."
Lu Jin stared at the self-heating rice container lid, which was gradually steaming, and hugged her legs with her hands, resting her face on her knees.
"In the afternoon, I heard sporadic explosions on the island. They weren't loud and were quite far away from us. I guess some people got into a firefight while searching for supplies."
Su Yu casually remarked that he judged that in addition to firearms and ammunition, the general must have also planted grenades on the island.
"Is it really okay not to collect some guns and ammunition?"
Lu Jin tilted her head and looked at Su Yu not far away.
They had enough food, but without a gun, Lu Jin felt uneasy and unsafe.
Su Yu smiled and, as if by magic, took out an MP5 submachine gun from his spatial watch.
In front of Wu Baohua and Lu Jin, Su Yu removed the magazine, revealing the bright yellow bullets inside, which made the two of them swallow hard.
After reloading the magazine, Su Yu pulled the bolt.
"As for firearms, I have over a dozen here, along with tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition. I'm not kidding, on this island, besides Chen Bin, Chu Tianyang, Auntie, and Sister Xueying, no one has a larger stockpile than me. Why bother working yourself to death to compete with others for a pittance?"
As he spoke, Su Yu fiddled with the gun in his hand, and the muzzle inadvertently pointed at Lu Jin beside him.
"Feed..."
Seeing this, Wu Baohua couldn't help but feel nervous.
Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he'd at least seen pigs run; he was certain he hadn't seen Su Yu turn off the safety on the gun.
If the fire goes off accidentally, Lu Jin's life will be lost in Su Yu's hands.
"You should also tell me how you died."
Now that things have come to this, Su Yu stopped pretending and held the gun in one hand, pointing it directly at Lu Jin.
Does this girl really think he's an idiot?
When we were in the room with the red Rubik's Cube, the other person was incredibly calm.
He was covered in valuable items, which goes without saying.
The key point is that Lu Jin also knows how to parachute, and her landing position is more accurate than mine. Judging from all the signs, the other party is not an ordinary sophomore.
Su Yu would never believe that someone like that could die in an accident, like accidentally falling from a height!
It's worth noting that when he experienced the first survival killing game, he lied without hesitation when questioned by Chen Bin and others.
Su Yu could deceive others, but he didn't want to be deceived.
"Let's eat first."
Lu Jin's eyes dimmed, and without answering Su Yu's question, she opened the lid of the self-heating meal box on her own.
"You'd better think about how to answer my question, or this will be the last meal of your life."
Su Yu casually tossed the MP5 submachine gun aside and opened the lid of his self-heating meal.
What are you doing?
Wu Baohua looked puzzled, but he couldn't do anything about Su Yu and Lu Jin. Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, he also started eating.
During the meal, none of the three spoke.
After finishing his meal, Wu Baohua put down his lunchbox, stood up from the ground, and patted the sand off his bottom.
"It's a bit chilly at the beach at night, I'm going to collect some firewood."
Wu Baohua guessed that Lu Jin hadn't spoken earlier most likely because he was there.
"No rush. Since we're companions, there's nothing to hide. The island is full of people right now. If we run into them, a conflict is bound to break out. It's too unsafe for you to go alone. Let's go together after she answers my questions."
Su Yu glanced at Wu Baohua, but made no attempt to send him away.
"I'm not stupid. If I run into the enemy and can't run away, I'll just hide. Besides, I'm going to collect firewood, not chop wood. I won't go far and won't cause much of a commotion. Don't worry."
Patting Su Yu on the shoulder, Wu Baohua glanced at the MP5 submachine gun on the ground as he passed by.
But he only glanced at it and left without lingering.
After Wu Baohua walked away, Lu Jin sighed and put down the lunchbox in her hand.
She has a small appetite; she had a third of a self-heating meal left.
"Would you believe me if I said I died in a kidnapping?"
Raising her head and gazing at Su Yu's face, Lu Jin spoke slowly.
Su Yu didn't speak, but raised her chin, signaling her to continue.
Lu Jin smiled bitterly before recounting her experience.
As Su Yu expected, Lu Jin was born into a wealthy family and never had to worry about food or clothing from a young age.
Her parents loved her dearly and wished they could give this precious daughter everything beautiful in the world.
However, the privileged conditions also placed pressure on Lu Jin that was not appropriate for her age.
Her right eye and left leg were crippled by ruthless kidnappers during a kidnapping.
The other party did this simply to get more ransom from her parents.
"I've forgotten whether it was when I was six or seven years old."
At this point, Lu Jin's face showed sadness.
According to Lu Jin, it was after that kidnapping that she began to learn all sorts of knowledge.
Learning how to protect oneself is of paramount importance.
parachute?
For Lu Jin, this was a subject that was extremely simple.
Swimming, diving, combat, shooting, wilderness survival...
Lu Jin learned everything she could.
Furthermore, solely through her own talent, Lu Jin mastered the languages of six countries, including the Far East Republic, the United States of Igu, the Rosa Empire, the Florence Empire, the East Sang Empire, and the Gamma Empire.
She entered the Rubik's Cube space because she was kidnapped again.
Despite Lu Jin's defects in her right eye and left leg, even so, one or two strong men couldn't get close to her.
During the struggle with the robbers, Lu Jin accidentally fell from a height.
In a sense, she didn't lie to Su Yu, since Lu Jin's cause of death was indeed falling from a height!
"I swear to God, I never intended to harm you by concealing this information; I just wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Lu Jin raised three fingers as if making a vow.
Unfortunately, what was above her head wasn't the sky, but a reef several meters high.
Su Yu tossed aside the empty lunchbox in his hand and picked up the MP5 submachine gun instead.
Lu Jin's breath hitched. She really hadn't expected that even after she had said all that, Su Yu still wouldn't believe her.
However, Su Yu's next move completely shocked Lu Jin.
"Do you know how to use it?"
Su Yu tossed the MP5 submachine gun to Lu Jin, gesturing for her to pick it up.
"For me?"
Lu Jin looked at Su Yu in disbelief and asked again to confirm.
She didn't pick up the gun immediately because she was afraid that her actions would be too fast and cause a misunderstanding.
Su Yu nodded, and with his permission, Lu Jin leaned forward and picked up the MP5 submachine gun from the ground.
In front of Su Yu, Lu Jin disassembled the MP5 submachine gun into parts, and after checking them, she reassembled the gun.
Although I wasn't very skilled at the process and even paused twice during the disassembly, it was understandable, since weapons produced by different countries have slight differences in details.
Even if Lu Jin had studied shooting, it didn't mean she was an expert on the MP5 submachine guns produced by the Gamma Empire.
However, seeing that Lu Jin assembled the guns much faster than she disassembled them, Su Yu was certain that she wasn't lying to him; the other party had indeed studied shooting.
"You change your mind faster than turning the pages of a book. Aren't you afraid I'll stab you in the back?"
Ultimately, Lu Jin was also a woman. It was impossible for her not to have any thoughts about being treated like this by Su Yu.
But Lu Jin didn't hold it in; instead, she expressed it directly.
He casually raised his gun and struck a cool pose. No matter how strong Lu Jin's personal qualities, how good her mentality, or how bold she was, she didn't dare to point the gun at Su Yu standing to the side.
"Trust those you employ, and do not employ those you distrust."
Su Yu then took out two more magazines and three hand grenades, and handed them all to Lu Jin.
In this way, Lu Jin can be considered a small-time rich woman on this island.
Looking across the entire island, out of a total of 360 players, how many of them possess a submachine gun, nearly a hundred bullets, and three grenades?
Su Yu didn't give Lu Jin the pistol because he felt it was unnecessary.
The MP5 submachine gun is not large in size and will not be limited by the various terrains on the island, making it sufficient to deal with the current crisis.
Moreover, Lu Jin is a girl with a disability. Even with the enhanced physical abilities provided by the newcomer's protective suit, carrying too many weapons and equipment would still affect her mobility.
"Remember, protect your head during combat. Because you're wearing protective clothing, ordinary bullets can't penetrate it. As long as you don't get a headshot, you won't die easily."
Judging by the time in his mind, Su Yu guessed that Wu Baohua, who had gone out to collect firewood, should be back by now.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Lu Jin of something.
Lu Jin paused, seemingly guessing what was going on.
"You were just trying to scare me!"
Lu Jin exclaimed in surprise; she had actually been tricked by Su Yu.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Su Yu frowned and glanced at Lu Jin, seemingly very dissatisfied with her reaction.
"You still say you're not bluffing? If bullets can't penetrate protective clothing, why did you aim for my body instead of my head?"
Lu Jin stared intently at Su Yu as if she had discovered a new continent, trying to find his weakness.
Su Yu frowned even more. After a while, he took out a can of fruit from his spatial watch.
Su Yu casually tossed the can of food to Lu Jin and turned his head away, deliberately avoiding her gaze.
"Don't flatter yourself. If canned food can shut you up, you'd better keep quiet for a while."
From an angle that Lu Jin couldn't see, Su Yu's lips curled up slightly.
Yes, he did that on purpose, not just to scare the other person.
This girl is indeed clever, but as the old saying goes, cleverness can backfire.
By pointing the gun at Lu Jin's body, Su Yu did this to force her to tell the truth, even if there was some exaggeration in her words, so that he could still obtain some useful information.
Secondly, it was to mislead Lu Jin, making her think that she was a person who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
On the other hand, is it really that hard to move the muzzle of a gun?
Even if he didn't have a gun, Su Yu could kill Lu Jin in less than half a minute.
The gap in strength is there for all to see.
Even if Lu Jin and Wu Baohua joined forces and they had guns, they would not pose any threat to Su Yu.
Now, he has achieved his goal. He not only got the truth out of Lu Jin, but also made her have a better impression of him.
"Am I becoming a little too cunning?"
Su Yu thought to himself that if this were a prerequisite for survival in the Rubik's Cube space, he would accept it without hesitation.
"snort......"
Holding the canned fruit Su Yu had given her, Lu Jin gave a smug hum.
Wu Baohua, who had gone out to collect firewood, returned at this time.
Seeing the MP5 submachine gun, two magazines, and three grenades next to Lu Jin, Wu Baohua was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and let out a long sigh of relief.
He placed the firewood he had collected between the three of them, and Wu Baohua took out a lighter from his pocket.
"See, this is where the convenience of smoking comes in."
Wu Baohua placed the dry branches and leaves around the thicker firewood, and then lit them with a lighter.
Soon, a fire was lit beneath the dimly lit reef.
By this time, it was completely dark outside. Listening to the sound of waves crashing on the beach, Su Yu took out an AK47, two magazines, and three grenades from his spatial watch.
"This is for you. Tonight, the three of us will take turns keeping watch. Lu Jin will take the first shift, you will take the second shift, and I will take the third shift."
Su Yu handed the AK47, magazine, and hand grenade to Wu Baohua.
"Good heavens, an AK47! Do you have any more Laifu rifles?"
Wu Baohua's attention was entirely focused on the rifle in front of him.
"Laifu?"
Su Yu was bewildered by the other person's unconventional thinking and didn't react for a moment.
"Yes, I'll carry an AK, and you'll carry a rifle. Let's make this island a big success and create new glories!"
Wu Baohua's excitement was palpable; he touched the AK47 in his hand as if it were a woman's thigh.
"I don't have a rifle, but I do have an M16."
After saying this, Su Yu added in his mind that the M16 was still undamaged.
The reason Wu Baohua was given an AK47 was mainly because it's a tough and durable gun.
Whether it gets wet or sandy, we'll still beat it.
Even if most of the parts are removed, it won't stop this gun from killing.
"That's a real shame."
He held up an AK47, struck a pose, and Wu Baohua, who was originally just an ordinary man, suddenly took on the air of a ruthless bandit.
"Don't say I'm taking advantage of you two. The third shift is the hardest to hold. Not only is it easy to get sleepy, but the enemy is also most likely to appear at that time. So, in order for me to hold this third shift well, you two need to pay more attention when you are holding the first two shifts."
Su Yu took out two parachute sheets from his spatial watch and said that people who were sleeping could cover themselves with them.
"How about I take two shifts in a row, and then I can take the third shift? You're the most capable of fighting among the three of us, so you have to keep your spirits up at all times."
Wu Baohua wasn't just being polite to Su Yu; he was mainly worried that Su Yu wouldn't trust him to keep up with two shifts.
As Wu Baohua expected, Su Yu directly rejected his suggestion.
Helpless, Wu Baohua had no choice but to lie down and sleep with Su Yu, covered with the parachute cloth recovered during the day, preparing to take over Lu Jin's second shift.
