I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 38 Dawn Battle
At dawn, the sunlight on the beach shines on the sand, as if spreading a layer of shattered gold across the earth.
Standing in the ankle-deep water, I watched the shimmering light and shadows beneath my feet, swaying gently with the rise and fall of the waves.
Feeling the slightly salty sea breeze gently caressing her cheeks, Lu Jin lifted her short golden hair, bent down, and slowly scooped up a handful of clear water.
Splash...
She poured the water in her hand onto her lower abdomen and rubbed the protective clothing there, trying to wash away the sticky, unidentified liquid remaining on it.
"My performance must have been terrible, right?"
Recalling what happened last night, Lu Jin couldn't help but blush and mutter to herself.
Because her escape was so arduous, once she returned to the base of that huge reef, she wrapped herself tightly in the parachute and forced herself into a deep sleep.
When Lu Jin woke up, she realized that she had forgotten to clean the juice residue off her protective suit.
After drying overnight, the juice had long since stuck to her protective suit, making it feel sticky to the touch.
Wu Baohua naturally noticed Lu Jin's unusual behavior. He got up early in the morning and looked at her and Su Yu with a suspicious gaze, as if asking, "What have you two been doing behind my back?"
Faced with Wu Baohua's questioning gaze, Su Yu was speechless and simply gave up trying to explain.
Because he knew that the more he explained, the more guilty he would appear.
Since that's the case, it's better to say nothing. The survival killing game in the Rubik's Cube Space is so fast-paced that Wu Baohua will forget about it in no time.
Su Yu and Wu Baohua, who were waiting below the reef, were busy with their weapons and breakfast.
At Lu Jin's request, Wu Baohua heated up the half-box of rice that was left over from last night. Su Yu was worried that the girl might lie about how much she ate because she was too proud, so he thoughtfully added a sausage for her.
However, this also made Wu Baohua even more convinced that something unknown must have happened between Su Yu and Lu Jin last night.
"What a carefree girl."
In the distance, Xie Jingyu licked his lips as he watched the girl playing in the water from a patch of bushes.
Although the girl was wearing a bodysuit and not showing any skin, her graceful curves, exposed to the morning light, still ignited the men's burning desire.
At that moment, he was holding a pair of binoculars, and through the lens, he could see the girl's every move.
Xie Jingyu arrived here at dawn!
It was chased all night, like a frightened rabbit, running for its life in the jungle.
Having finally escaped to this place, Xie Jingyu hadn't even slept for two hours when he opened his eyes to see Lu Jin by the sea. He felt that this must be a blessing from heaven.
"Should we take action?"
Xie Jingyu's hand unconsciously reached for his waist, where a silver M1911 pistol was tucked.
Like the binoculars in his hand, these were things Xie Jingyu had risked his life to grab after landing on the island yesterday.
Unfortunately, he failed to grab any food, and his only seven bullets in the pistol were used up during the intense chase.
Xie Jingyu was both thirsty and hungry. He grabbed a handful of grass leaves, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them a few times, and then spat them out. He was pondering how likely he was to succeed.
"If I make a move now, the beach is empty. She'll spot me before I even get close. But if I don't make a move, there's no guarantee she won't move on. If I lose her, I'll have lost a target for nothing."
Xie Jingyu was caught in a dilemma. He not only wanted to eat and drink, but also wanted to vent his anger.
Recalling yesterday's experience, Xie Jingyu felt lingering fear.
Those two are absolutely insane!
Xie Jingyu had no idea where the man and woman came from; the man was burly and strong, and the woman was graceful and charming.
He originally thought the other party was a good prey. He thought that by killing the man and taking the woman for himself, he could gain a foothold on the island.
Little did he know that when he made his move, he would find that he had become the other party's prey!
The two men chased after him like madmen, recklessly, firing countless bullets and throwing countless grenades in the process.
Xie Jingyu calculated that there must be at least two or three hundred bullets and a dozen or twenty hand grenades.
Of course, not all of these bullets and grenades were aimed at Xie Jingyu.
Otherwise, even if he had eight legs, he wouldn't have survived until now.
"Damn it, luckily I was quick-witted."
Seeing that the other party was someone he couldn't afford to offend, Xie Jingyu started running, leading the man and woman to a crowded place.
After encountering five or six people in succession, Xie Jingyu finally managed to shake off his enemies.
To ensure he wouldn't be caught, Xie Jingyu didn't stop but continued to run.
In this escape, she unknowingly ended up here, and when she woke up, she bumped into Lu Jin by the sea.
"Never mind, let's do it!"
Xie Jingyu gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that even if he couldn't handle those crazy people, he could at least handle the girl in front of him.
Judging from their appearance, they must have brought some food with them beforehand, and they didn't participate in the search for supplies yesterday.
Although he had run out of bullets in his pistol, it was still enough to scare people.
Thinking of this, Xie Jingyu quietly crept towards Lu Jin's location. When he was less than a hundred meters away from her and there was absolutely nothing to cover him, he suddenly jumped out of his hiding place and ran towards her.
"ah......"
Lu Jin was startled by Xie Jingyu's sudden appearance. She had just wiped the dried juice off her protective suit when she turned around and saw a man running towards her.
Lu Jin considered running away, but she quickly banished the thought from her mind.
How could a cripple outrun a fully able-bodied adult male?
Leaning on her cane, Lu Jin slowly emerged from the water, watching him warily, wanting to see what he was up to.
"Aren't you going to run?"
When he was about ten meters away from his target, Xie Jingyu slowed down.
Gasping for breath, he drew his M1911 pistol from his waist and pointed it at Lu Jin.
Lu Jin's expression changed, and she gripped her cane, instinctively using her arm to shield her head.
"hey-hey......"
Seeing Lu Jin's reaction, Xie Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just like he thought, this girl is still a virgin!
With just a little intimidation, she turned into a quail. Especially when I pointed the gun at her, the girl didn't look around, which meant that I was also alone and had no companions lying in ambush around me.
"I advise you not to move rashly; bullets don't have eyes."
Xie Jingyu's index finger was on the trigger of the M1911 pistol.
As Xie Jingyu walked towards Lu Jin step by step, and the distance between them continued to shrink, he also noticed that this girl was far more appealing than he had imagined.
Xie Jingyu originally planned to vent his anger and then kill the other party, cutting off the totem seal on the back of the girl's hand.
Now, Xie Jingyu has changed his mind. He wants to keep the girl here until he's almost leaving the island, and then kill her.
Xie Jingyu believed that the girl would bring him a lot of fun during this time.
"Who...who are you?"
Realizing that the other party did not intend to kill her immediately, Lu Jin slowly lowered her arm.
She held her walking stick tightly in her arms.
Xie Jingyu did not give a direct answer to the girl's question.
"How about it? Want to come with me? See the gun in my hand? I killed two people with it. If you behave, I won't kill you, and I'll even give you food."
Xie Jingyu didn't care about anything else. In order to reduce the girl's resistance, or even to make her stop resisting, he started bragging.
"I......"
Hearing Xie Jingyu say that, Lu Jin became even more flustered.
Under the pressure of a man who was at least 1.8 meters tall and had an exceptionally strong build, she retreated in small steps.
Xie Jingyu continued to approach, the smile on his lips growing increasingly arrogant.
"You'd better think this through. The moment you refuse me, this gun will go off. If you don't want to die, drop your weapon, stand there obediently, and wait for me to come over."
Xie Jingyu quickened his pace. Seeing the girl's frightened deer-like appearance, he couldn't wait to capture her and drag her to the rocks or the jungle to have some fun.
"I...I don't have any weapons!"
Lu Jin said in a trembling voice that she was not lying and that she really did not have any weapons.
The MP5 submachine gun that Su Yu gave her, as well as the jungle dagger she brought into the game from the room with the red Rubik's Cube, were both placed by Lu Jin in their resting place.
The only thing she had that could be considered a weapon was the cane she always carried.
"You don't look very obedient. Let me search you thoroughly. If I find any weapons, I won't let you off the hook."
As they were talking, Xie Jingyu had already reached Lu Jin and reached out to grab the girl.
Seeing this scene from behind a reef, Wu Baohua was extremely anxious.
Seeing his comrade about to fall into enemy hands, the older man couldn't help but raise his AK.
"Calm down, do you want to kill Lu Jin?"
Su Yu quickly raised his hand and pressed down on Wu Baohua's gun barrel.
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. Wu Baohua didn't even consider that he hadn't fired a single shot since he entered the game.
The aim was at that man, but if the shot missed and hit Lu Jin in the head, wouldn't that be a case of good intentions gone wrong?
Moreover, Su Yu had many considerations, not just a lack of confidence in the two men's marksmanship.
"What can we do then? Just watch Lu Jin get captured by the enemy?"
Wu Baohua was almost frantic with worry. Although the girl was disabled, she was very smart and he liked her very much.
Most importantly, she and Su Yu were among the first group of companions he met after entering the Rubik's Cube space.
In Wu Baohua's eyes, Su Yu and Lu Jin are his younger brother and sister. Even though they have all sorts of shortcomings, fate brought them together, so as the older brother, he has to take good care of them.
"Calm down. That girl isn't as simple as you think. And have you considered that the other party might not be alone? If there are companions hiding around, your opening fire will directly expose our positions. At that time, not only will we not be able to save Lu Jin, but we will also be attacked from both sides. Haven't you noticed that Lu Jin hasn't looked in our direction until now? If she really panicked, she would definitely give us a hint."
Su Yu's words reassured Wu Baohua somewhat.
It turned out that the other party had not given up on Lu Jin, but was trying hard to think of a way to rescue her.
Actually, they had already spotted the man when Lu Jin exclaimed in surprise.
But it would have been too late to go out then, so I've been hiding until now.
At the same time, a doubt arose in Wu Baohua's mind.
"How did you guess he had companions? Everyone's only been on this island for a short time and doesn't know each other well. How could they have formed a team so quickly?"
As the saying goes, "It is not shameful to ask those who are less knowledgeable than oneself," and since the matter had been brought up to this point, Wu Baohua simply asked the question.
"I'm not sure either, but we should always look on the bright side and the dark side. If we can team up, why can't others? Who can guarantee that those people didn't know each other before boarding the plane? You know, we're participating in a survival killing game in the Cube Space. One wrong move and you'll lose your life. You don't want to die meaninglessly and become someone else's stepping stone, do you?"
Su Yu would rather outwit the air than be tricked by someone.
Anyone can lose, but he can't afford to lose!
Just as Su Yu had predicted, the instant Xie Jingyu reached for her, Lu Jin decisively took a half step back, raised her cane, and stabbed it hard into his chest.
"Ha, you little brat, trying to outsmart me? Trying to take advantage of me?"
Xie Jingyu laughed, his face full of disdain.
In Xie Jingyu's view, Lu Jin's resistance was simply overestimating her own abilities.
Xie Jingyu felt that with her small frame, he could easily break her apart with a single punch.
Grabbing the cane that Lu Jin was thrusting at him, Xie Jingyu pulled hard, trying to drag her towards him.
However, something completely unexpected happened!
Lu Jin's walking stick had broken in two, with the end that Xie Jingyu was holding coming off like a sword sheath.
Lu Jin drew the longsword hidden in her cane and swung it backhand, aiming for Xie Jingyu's neck.
Xie Jingyu instinctively dodged, the blade grazing his right shoulder and slicing off a piece of flesh.
"You damn thing!"
Xie Jingyu, in pain, couldn't help but curse loudly.
Unexpectedly, this grown man was outmaneuvered by a young girl and suffered such a huge loss.
Without wasting words, Lu Jin's sword strike missed its mark, and she immediately changed her attack to a thrust, launching a fierce assault on Xie Jingyu.
The two were too close. You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifth. In just a few breaths, Xie Jingyu was stabbed several times, and his coat was stained red with blood.
"pretty!"
Wu Baohua clenched his fist and praised.
He truly hadn't expected Lu Jin to have such a trick up her sleeve.
This series of counterattacks would be devastating, not only for that man, but even for himself.
Xie Jingyu raised his gun, intending to smash it at Lu Jin, but before he could even lift his hand, he was stabbed in the wrist by the other party's sword, and the silver M1911 pistol fell to the ground.
"You stay here and remain on guard."
After saying that, Su Yu slung his undamaged M16 over his shoulder and quietly slipped out of the rocky area.
"That is..."
Seeing a figure approaching them from not far away, Xie Jingyu was shocked.
Seeing that the girl didn't even turn her head and kept launching a fierce attack on him, Xie Jingyu realized that the guy who appeared at this moment was most likely her accomplice.
This man and woman are just too sinister!
Xie Jingyu couldn't help but sigh, realizing that his downfall was not unjust.
Even in such a dangerous situation, the girl didn't look anywhere else, clearly covering for the man.
The man only came out at this point, clearly realizing that he was alone and had no companions lying in ambush nearby.
"Depend on!"
Xie Jingyu cursed inwardly. The old saying that men and women working together makes the work easier is not what it means at all.
Yesterday I was tricked by that couple, and today I've been tricked by them again. My luck has really run out.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yu was less than ten meters away from Lu Jin and Xie Jingyu.
"Lu Jin, spare his life."
Raising their M16s and pointing the muzzle directly at Xie Jingyu, Su Yuchong and Lu Jin shouted.
Swish!
Lu Jin's longsword was less than half an inch away from Xie Jingyu's head.
"snort."
With a cold snort, Lu Jin shook the blood off her sword, took two steps back, and picked up the cane-like scabbard and the M1911 pistol that the man had dropped on the beach.
Sheathed the sword again, and as if nothing had happened, Lu Jin leaned on her cane with one hand and fiddled with the M1911 pistol with the other.
As soon as she removed the magazine from the pistol, Lu Jin's face fell.
"So that's why you didn't shoot. You're just a paper tiger."
Lu Jin glanced at Xie Jingyu with disdain and put the magazine back into the pistol.
Su Yu didn't care about anything else. He walked up to Xie Jingyu and smashed him to the ground with the butt of his rifle.
He still had questions for this guy, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped Lu Jin.
