I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 50 He's dropping the pretense; he's laid his cards on the table!
Honestly, with the survival killing game at this stage, Su Yu wasn't in a hurry to return to the Rubik's Cube room at all.
First, he held eighteen totem seals in his hand. If he could gather three more, it would be enough for him, Lu Jin, and Wu Baohua to leave safely.
Secondly, with Lu Jin and Wu Baohua awakening their special abilities, and Artoria responding to the summons as a Valkyrie and descending to their side, the team suddenly gained three more strong members. With their strength skyrocketing, it became difficult for them to encounter any equally matched opponents on this island.
Finally, Lu Jin and Wu Baohua, who have awakened special abilities, lack combat experience. Rather than hastily ending this survival killing game, it would be better to use the participants on the island to train their combat skills.
With that in mind, Su Yu told Lu Jin and Wu Baohua to quickly adapt to their respective special abilities and the enhanced physical condition of their bodies after receiving the seed, while he took the opportunity to rest properly.
During the night, Esdeath and Artoria took turns keeping watch, and the three of them had a rare moment of leisure. After eating and drinking their fill, they all slept soundly.
The following morning, after resting and getting some rest, the three set off to search the island for the other participants.
"The number has increased again."
As the five people walking through the jungle appeared in the images transmitted by satellite and surveillance cameras, the general in the control room of the warship at sea frowned deeply.
Su Yu, Lu Jin, and Wu Baohua's information is recorded, but Esdeath and Artoria are undoubtedly extras to the people of this world.
The general already knew Esdeath's identity; she was summoned by Su Yu using his supernatural abilities.
Seeing Artoria following Lu Jin and supporting her as she walked, the general guessed that she was one of the three who had summoned her using her special abilities.
After all, there was no reaction from the tracking devices on Esdeath and Artoria.
"Are you really okay?"
Turning to look at Lu Jin, who was constantly needing Altria's help, Su Yu asked with some concern.
"It's alright. My body has been strengthened again, and with Artoria's help, even in an emergency, she can get me out of danger. I don't need you to waste your energy taking special care of me anymore."
Lu Jin smiled at Su Yu, indicating that he didn't need to worry at all.
It's important to know that after awakening her special abilities, she not only shed her burdensome label, but now plays an exceptionally important role in the team.
Not only did Lu Jin gain the help of Artoria, but her weapon was also changed from the MP5 submachine gun to the AWM sniper rifle.
This team simply lacks any decent ranged attack methods!
Just before the three set off, after much deliberation, Su Yu handed over the AWM sniper rifle he had just acquired to Lu Jin.
Firstly, among the three of them, Lu Jin was the best marksman.
Secondly, this would also allow Lu Jin to keep her distance from the enemy, reducing the trouble caused by her limited mobility in the jungle.
"It's good to be strong, but don't overdo it. If you need anything, remember to ask me and my cousin. We're a team, and relying on your teammates appropriately isn't a bad thing."
Su Yu didn't insist, but still gave Lu Jin a word of advice.
"Okay."
Lu Jinjiao responded with a smile, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart from Su Yu's words.
The three of them trekked through the jungle, encountering several groups of participants in the killing game along the way.
Unfortunately, with the combined efforts of Su Yu and his group, these participants were routed, leaving behind several corpses as they fled the battlefield in panic.
In the end, the three men, whose notoriety spread far and wide, failed to intercept any of the participants in their subsequent operations.
The participants reacted as if they had seen ghosts when they saw them.
Even though the two groups of participants were fighting fiercely, as soon as they saw them arrive, they immediately ceased fire and fled to a distance.
Once or twice could be a coincidence, but as this happened more often, Su Yu naturally noticed that something was amiss.
"Damn it, these people are giving us the silent treatment!"
While flipping through the supply crates that the organizers of the killing game had airdropped onto the island, Su Yu complained.
He wasn't blind. From the equipment airdropped by the organizers of the killing game, Su Yu could tell that as the number of participants in the game decreased, the strength of the airdropped weapons was gradually increasing.
From the initial millet and rifles, it has evolved to the current individual rocket launchers and mortars, and even drones and robot dogs have emerged.
Imagine if those participants united and used their advanced technology and powerful firepower to fight a tough battle against them; Su Yu estimated he would be in serious trouble.
Fortunately, those participants haven't realized that they are not as powerful as they imagined, and that their strength is not enough to overwhelm everyone else.
In case of unforeseen circumstances, Su Yu gave Lu Jin and Wu Baohua seven totem seals each, and told them to carry them with them.
In the event of unforeseen circumstances, an application will be submitted to the Red Cube to end the survival killing game.
The principle is the same as that of players in a certain shooting game: if you can't beat the enemy, you can simply hide in a warehouse.
"Consider it as collecting weapons. Although you said that you can buy equipment in the Rubik's Cube room with points and seeds, and that these regular weapons are very cheap, getting something for free is much better than spending precious points and seeds to buy it from the Red Rubik's Cube. You've also used up a lot of food and ammunition these days, it's time to replenish them."
Amused by Su Yu's teasing, Lu Jin reached out and patted his shoulder, offering words of comfort.
"If it weren't for the occasional sounds of firefights between the participants, I would have thought I was on vacation on this island."
Wu Baohua echoed, saying that before entering the Rubik's Cube space, he was busy making a living every day.
Let alone a vacation, even if you're sick, as long as you can still get up, you have to keep working.
As for headaches and fevers, for someone like him who works in the food delivery industry, braving wind and rain, that's just everyday occurrence.
"You two are far too unnerved. Don't you know who you're staying here for?"
Esdeath couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded the two of them.
Artoria stood not far away, keeping watch without saying a word.
Suddenly, Artoria drew her longsword and faced one direction.
"Is anyone there?"
Su Yu and Esdeath noticed the anomaly immediately, followed closely by Lu Jin and Wu Baohua.
A figure gradually emerged from the jungle, approaching the five people with unhurried steps.
Su Yu and the others did not make any rash moves. When they saw who the newcomer was, he couldn't help but shout out.
"Sister Xueying?"
Su Yu could see clearly that the person who came was none other than Chu Tianyang's wife, Fu Xueying.
"I've finally found you."
A dozen meters away from the three of them, Fu Xueying stopped and spoke coldly.
Her hair was a little messy, and she had injuries on her body.
Judging from Fu Xueying's appearance, she did not have a good time in the days following Chu Tianyang's death.
"Looking for us?"
Su Yu secretly made a hand gesture to Lu Jin and Wu Baohua, signaling them not to act rashly.
Su Yu walked towards Fu Xueying with an innocent and harmless expression.
Fu Xueying didn't say anything, just stood there quietly watching Su Yu perform.
"Sister Xueying, why did you contact us? Are you worried about us?"
"By the way, where is Brother Chu?"
"Have you collected enough totem stamps to leave? If not, I have a few extra here."
Su Yu didn't ask Fu Xueying whether Chu Tianyang had already collected all seven totem seals and returned to the Rubik's Cube room first.
After all, given Chu Tianyang's personality, he would never abandon Fu Xueying.
Even if Fu Xueying insists on coming to find them, Chu Tianyang will follow her.
"Oh......"
Fu Xueying smiled, but it was no longer her usual approachable smile; it was a cold laugh.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Yu was still pretending to be stupid, trying to get away with it.
To be honest, seeing Fu Xueying's reaction, he had already guessed most of what was going on.
But he was unwilling to break the ice, and even less willing to fight with Fu Xueying.
"You killed my husband and then asked me why I didn't see him? You're really something. Don't you know why I came to you?"
Fu Xueying spoke slowly and deliberately, her eyes cold and her tone icy, as if she were a completely different person compared to her usual self.
"What are you talking about? I killed Brother Chu?"
Su Yu looked puzzled, but inwardly he was cursing the bastard for leaking the information.
Lu Jin and Wu Baohua were always by his side; it certainly wasn't those two who leaked the information.
Chu Tianyang's body had turned to ashes, so Fu Xueying couldn't possibly find any clues.
The only possibility is that he and Chu Tianyang didn't have time to deal with the two participants in the isolated island killing game who escaped.
"Stop pretending. Witnesses say that you killed my husband and that his spatial watch is also missing. People in this world don't know the secret of the spatial watch."
Fu Xueying retorted, mercilessly exposing Su Yu's lies.
"What a joke! You say there's a witness? Let that witness come out, I want to confront him face to face. As for the spatial watch, even if we don't know its secrets, who can guarantee that the other party didn't just casually pick up Brother Chu's spatial watch?"
Su Yu was also trying her best to avoid the conflict.
Even though he knew it was pointless, Su Yu wouldn't be satisfied without trying.
After a brief silence, Fu Xueying laughed.
"Hmph, hehe, hahahaha..."
From initial chuckles to unrestrained laughter, and finally tilting her head back and bursting into wild laughter, Fu Xueying's expression gradually became manic.
Oh no, this woman has gone mad!
Su Yu felt a chill run down his spine; it seemed that this infighting among the Rubik's Cube Space players was inevitable today.
"Do you know how I've been these past few days?"
After laughing wildly, Fu Xueying took out a thick stack of totem seals from her spatial watch and casually threw them on the ground.
Upon seeing those totem seals, Su Yu couldn't help but gasp.
Good heavens, Fu Xueying threw out at least twenty totem seals.
"When I arrived at the site of your battle with Lao Chu and saw the traces left behind, I suspected that his death was not an accident. However, there were traces of at least two, or even more, special abilities used there, so I didn't think of you."
"However, during the subsequent investigation, I met the person who witnessed the battle before. Based on his description, I was basically certain that the person who fought Old Chu was you."
"I also suspected that the person was lying, after all, you once said that you didn't have any special abilities."
"But seeing the weapon in his hand dispelled all my doubts. You are the murderer who killed Old Chu, and Mao Xingzhou, who died at the end of the last survival killing game, was also killed by you!"
She raised her hand and pointed at Wu Baohua, who was on high alert. Fu Xueying immediately recognized the giant axe that Wu Baohua was holding – it was the weapon her husband, Chu Tianyang, had used before his death.
Now that things have come to this, Su Yu can no longer pretend.
He sighed, dropped his feigned expression, and met Fu Xueying's gaze without flinching.
"That's right, I killed Chu Tianyang. The reason is simple: he asked me for three totem seals and a lot of ammunition."
"I don't know if the witness you're talking about has mentioned this to you, but you know your husband better than I do!"
"At the time, I was carrying sixteen totem seals, but those seals were not only meant to end this survival killing game for me, but also for Lu Jin and my older cousin. Why should I give them to Chu Tianyang?"
"He gave me two choices: either hand over the items or fight. And on the basis of the fight, he gave me two more choices: either have his arm cut off, lose my spatial watch and totem seal, and struggle to survive on this island, or become a corpse and remain in this world forever."
"Sister Xueying, I want to ask you this: he's pushed me to this point, what do you suggest we do?"
Su Yu's tone was extremely calm, as if he were describing something that had nothing to do with him.
Fu Xueying didn't speak because she knew Su Yu hadn't finished speaking.
Seeing that Fu Xueying remained silent, Su Yu continued.
"This isn't the first time Chu Tianyang has treated me like this. There's always a second time, but not a third. I've tolerated it for your sake, but it's time to put an end to this."
"I did lie. I'm not a powerless person at all, but a UR-level special ability holder. My ability requires me to kill the enemy and then absorb their ability."
"Because it has no effect at the beginning, I have to absorb an ability first before I can use it normally, so I lied. There was no other way. You know better than anyone what kind of people Chen Bin, Mao Xingzhou, and your husband Chu Tianyang are."
"If I told them I possessed UR-level abilities, capable of storing up to seven special abilities, and that the prerequisites for acquiring these abilities were incredibly stringent, what do you think they would do to me?"
"You're right, Mao Xingzhou died at my hands, but that's not entirely accurate. I fed him zombies, and the special ability I used when fighting your husband, Chu Tianyang—summoning the Valkyrie—was obtained from Mao Xingzhou!"
Now that things have come to this, Su Yu decided to stop pretending and lay his cards on the table.
In any case, the two people behind it, whether it's Lu Jin or Wu Baohua, are trustworthy.
Even if Lu Jin is hiding something from him, she is still on his side.
Besides, even if the two of them joined forces and secretly plotted against him, they would be no match for him, and Su Yu was not afraid at all.
As for Fu Xueying, she came to him with more than twenty totem seals in her hand, clearly indicating that she was willing to fight to the death.
Today, either Fu Xueying will die in battle or I will perish. What is the point of hiding this?
Moreover, Su Yu had another purpose in saying this: he wanted to test Lu Jin.
Su Yu had a feeling that Lu Jin was hiding something from him. If she still didn't tell the truth after this self-disclosure, then he would have to take action.
Lu Jin is very beautiful and cute, intelligent, and has a strong personality.
Su Yu had a good impression of Lu Jin, but that was not a reason for her to lie.
You must understand, this is the Rubik's Cube Space. Let alone a lie, even the slightest oversight could kill him.
Su Yu did not intend to harm Lu Jin and Wu Baohua, but one should not have the intention to harm others, but one should not be without the intention to guard against others.
