I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!

Chapter 41: Just a pittance, why risk your life like that!

Gan!

Looking at the crossbow bolt, so sharp it seemed to penetrate to the very core, Su Yu had no doubt that if this arrow hit his head, it would blow his head off on the spot.

The main problem is that this attack method is far too insidious.

Compared to the noise caused by firearms exchanges, the sound of a crossbow firing a bolt was extremely quiet.

The key point is that the vast majority of people are using firearms. Who would have thought that the organizers of this island killing game would also provide the participants with crossbows, a cold weapon specifically designed for ambushing people!

Almost instinctively, Su Yu looked in the direction from which the crossbow bolts had come, and pointed the muzzle of his M16 rifle at that spot.

Ta-da-ta-da...

Su Yu didn't care about the ammunition consumption at all. He pulled the trigger sharply and fired a series of bursts.

The participants in the killing game hiding in the shadows did not have Su Yu's strong mental fortitude, who dared to stand still and launch a counterattack even when attacked.

Shake, rustle...

The moment the bullets started flying around them, the two attackers emerged from their hiding places.

They moved with agility, like startled hares, running wildly through the dense jungle, trying to escape Su Yu's sight.

Su Yu's eyes were cold and stern, his finger tightly gripping the trigger. The muzzle of the gun moved with the backs of the two men, and bullets poured out like raindrops.

After emptying a magazine, Su Yu didn't even frown. Instead, he took out a new magazine from his spatial watch and skillfully changed the magazine for his M16.

"Trying to run away? Not so easy!"

Su Yu roared and, as he chased after the attacker, decisively increased the rate of fire.

One of the attackers, seemingly enraged by Su Yu's fierce attack, suddenly stopped, turned around, drew a pistol from his waist, and fired wildly in his direction.

Bullets whizzed past Su Yu, who quickly dodged to the side, using the surrounding trees as cover as he continued to approach the two men.

"You hold him off, I'll go get help."

One of the attackers shouted to his companion beside him.

After saying this, he ignored his companions' reactions and plunged into the depths of the jungle.

Su Yu inwardly cried out in alarm. How could he let his prey escape when it was right in front of him?

Without a second thought, Su Yu slung the M16 across his body, took out a grenade, pulled the pin, crawled out from behind the tree, and threw it at the last remaining attacker.

The grenade traced a sharp arc through the air, whistling as it flew towards the attacker.

Hearing the commotion, the attacker's eyes widened in terror, and a vicious dog lunged at him, forcing him to dodge to the side.

boom......

With a loud bang, the grenade exploded not far from the attacker, the powerful impact sending him tumbling several times, sending rubble, dust, and dead leaves flying everywhere.

"Wow, this is a tough one!"

You should know that grenades are a rare commodity on this island; not everyone can own one.

Aside from exceptionally skilled lone wolves or those with incredible luck, grenades are usually in the hands of the core members of the team.

It's no exaggeration to say that, in either case, the other party is not someone he can fake an accident to extort money from.

The attacker, abandoned by his comrades, was now dazed and confused by the grenade, his mind a complete mess.

He swayed, trying to get up from the ground, but before he could even see his surroundings, the attacker's hair was grabbed by the hand.

"No, don't kill me! I know a lot of useful information."

The attacker shouted loudly, partly to attract the attention of his companions, and partly to make Su Yu hesitate, so that he could have a chance to survive.

Su Yu wasn't going to waste words with this guy. He knelt on the man's back, grabbed the attacker's hair with his left hand, and gripped the jungle dagger tightly with his right, the sharp blade slicing across the man's throat.

Sizzle...

The blood gushing from the attacker's neck wound instantly stained the soil and grass beneath him.

After a quick check of the attacker's belongings to confirm that there were no extra totem seals, Su Yu tossed the guy's pistol into his spatial watch and used his jungle dagger to cut off the totem seal from the back of the attacker's hand.

"They're all poor guys."

Su Yu didn't chase after the fleeing guy, but continued running towards the direction from which the gunshots came, sighing as he ran.

"What did you say?"

In the jungle, the captain of the makeshift squad frowned as he listened to the news brought back by his men.

Looking at the two squads engaged in battle, and the supply crate surrounded by both sides, the temporary squad leader's face was extremely grim.

After a brief moment of thought, despite his reluctance, the temporary squad leader gestured for his team members to cease fire.

As soon as we stopped firing here, the other side followed suit.

After all, everyone's ammunition is limited, and winning the battle with minimal losses would be the best possible outcome.

The captain who first ordered his team to cease fire shouted across the distance to the other side, claiming that he had important intelligence to discuss with their leader and had made a request for negotiation.

Soon, the other side responded and agreed to negotiate with them.

The captains of both squads slowly emerged from their respective hiding places and, without prior arrangement, went to the supply crate.

"Speak, what important information do you have, and what do you want to discuss with me?"

Staring suspiciously at the man in front of her, the woman with long, dark blonde hair and a single ponytail asked.

"I never expected that after fighting for so long, the one leading her men in battle against us would be a beautiful woman."

The man who proposed the negotiation licked his lips, his eyes darting like a hungry wolf as he sized up the stunning blonde beauty.

"You ordered your men to cease fire and submitted a request for negotiations, but you're not just here to spout this pointless nonsense, are you?"

The woman with long, dark blonde hair frowned and spoke to the man with displeasure.

"Of course not. My men just reported that a third force has appeared. If we fight to the death here, someone else might reap the benefits. Rather than that, we should divide the supplies in this supply box equally, so that others don't get any advantage."

The man composed himself and steered the conversation back on track.

The beautiful woman with long, dark blonde hair naturally wouldn't easily trust the other party; this might just be a man's trick.

The beautiful woman glanced at the supply box beside her, then at the man, and asked.

"How did your subordinates know that a third force had emerged?"

"Because I ordered them to lie in ambush on the outskirts, and regardless of whether we succeed or not, they will launch an attack on you. Then we will coordinate an attack from both inside and outside, annihilating you completely."

"You're so insidious!"

"That's not the point. The point is that my undercover agents encountered a third force. They were planning to quietly eliminate the enemy and continue their ambush on you, but they didn't expect to be so difficult to deal with, and they actually failed."

The man felt pleased to be praised by a beautiful woman, even though her words carried an undisguised derogatory tone. However, he did not forget his business and continued speaking to the captain of the other team.

"We already have one person who died at the hands of a third force. The team member who brought back the message also said that the enemy's firepower was extremely strong, they didn't care about ammunition consumption at all, and they even used grenades. I think you know what that means, right?"

"this......"

"It's absolutely impossible for us to give up this supply crate, but we can split it in half, or even join forces to ambush the newly emerged third force and catch them off guard. As for the spoils, we'll divide them equally. This is much more worthwhile than just getting one supply crate."

"interesting."

The beautiful woman narrowed her eyes. Just as the man had said, this was the optimal solution under the current circumstances.

She had heard that a few madmen had appeared on the island, attacking other participants without regard for ammunition consumption, as if the lives of the enemy were more valuable than the ammunition in their hands.

But the problem lies with this man; is he trustworthy?

What if they turn on the third force after defeating them?

The beautiful woman also knew that as the team leader, she had to make a decision quickly; hesitation would only lead to more trouble.

"The supply crates can be split in half, but when ambushing a third force, the spoils belong to the side that kills the enemy. There is no such thing as an equal distribution. Moreover, you bring your people and I bring mine, and we fight our own battles. We just won't fire at each other. If the third force becomes too powerful, I have the right to leave with my team."

The beautiful woman offered her own solution, and the man didn't object after hearing her explanation.

Having reached a preliminary consensus, both sides sent two people each to collect the supplies from the team leader.

The moment the supply crate was opened, the six people surrounding it all stared wide-eyed.

"This, this, this..."

The male team member spoke first, staring at the weapons in the supply box and swallowing hard. He stammered for a long time but couldn't get to the point.

Not only him, but also the two temporary squad leaders, all changed their expressions the moment they saw the contents of the supply crate.

They exchanged a glance, and both the beautiful woman with dark golden hair and the man were filled with murderous intent.

"You can have the rest; I'll just take these two. How about that?"

The man's hand trembled slightly as he pointed to the two rocket launchers inside the supply crate.

"Are you kidding me? I only need these two rocket launchers; the rest are yours."

The beautiful woman with dark golden hair was also drawn to the two rocket launchers, unable to look away.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense again, the dark blonde beauty and the man looked somewhat helpless, and finally decided to each take one.

This thing is a deadly weapon; even just one is enough to change the outcome of the entire battle.

With the supplies they had received equally distributed, both sides returned to their respective camps to prepare for the upcoming ambush.

"Damn, why did the gunfire stop?"

Su Yu, who was approaching the enemy, immediately slowed down the moment he heard the gunfire stop.

Walking cautiously through the jungle, the only conclusion he could think of was that the battle was over and one side had won.

Although he didn't want the victor to leave so easily after collecting the spoils, Su Yu wasn't one to act rashly and continued to advance methodically.

"What's going on?"

Upon realizing that the third force appearing before her was actually just one person—a beautiful woman with long, dark golden hair hiding in the shadows—her brows furrowed deeply.

"Only one person?"

Turning to look at his subordinate who had brought him the news, the man who was the leader of this temporary squad was furious.

"We saw one guy, and he was incredibly tough. I reckon he was the enemy's vanguard."

The man who had narrowly escaped from Su Yu's clutches looked dejected and said to the squad leader beside him.

"Damn it, should I hit him or not?"

The temporary squad leader's face twitched a few times. If it weren't for the special circumstances, he would have loved to slap the bastard next to him.

Seeing that the enemy was about to reach the supply crate, the man realized something was wrong and could not wait any longer. He ordered his men to open fire on Su Yu.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman with long, dark blonde hair decisively ordered her teammates to join the battle.

"Holy crap!"

Su Yu cursed loudly. The moment he heard the gunshot, he felt his soul tremble.

With so many guns firing at him at the same time, even if the enemy is trying to conserve bullets, he still can't handle it.

Ignoring his disheveled appearance, Su Yu rolled on the spot, letting the bullets whizz around him, sending dirt, wood chips, and rotten leaves flying everywhere, before finally rolling down a small hill.

"Damn it, this means both sides have reached an agreement, are they setting me up here?"

Su Yu was furious. He wasn't stupid. Judging from the location of the gunshots and the number of shooters, he guessed the most likely possibility.

I never expected it to turn out this way. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have come.

Of course, Su Yu had no idea that Chen Bin, An Qiluo, Chu Tianyang, and Fu Xueying's outstanding performances had unintentionally created a trap for him.

But what could Su Yu do now that things had come to this? He could only grit his teeth and try to break through the encirclement.

"Throw the grenade!"

A man's shout came from the jungle.

"Fuck you."

Su Yu was completely numb. He watched as several dark and greenish things flew towards him. He thought to himself that if he didn't die this time, he would probably be skinned alive.

Using his arms to protect his head, Su Yu tried to curl his body into a ball.

Boom boom boom...

A series of explosions rang out, and flames engulfed the small mound where Su Yu was hiding.

"Did it work?"

The team leader was overjoyed. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement from the small hill, he immediately sent someone to check.

"Go and see what's going on."

The woman with long, dark blonde hair also ordered her subordinates to check on Su Yu's condition.

Although the grenade was thrown by another temporary squad, she had also participated in the battle, and the dark blonde beauty would never give all the spoils to the other side.

The scouts sent out by both sides met not far from the small mound, exchanged glances, and tacitly refrained from firing at each other.

The things belong to the leader, but life is one's own.

What a joke! They're just here to carry out orders and check on the enemy's condition.

The two temporary captains gave them a pittance, why are they risking their lives like this!
