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

With the help of Su Yu and Esdeath, Lu Jin, Artoria, and Wu Baohua easily dealt with the island killing game participants who were besieging them.

What pleased Su Yu was that Lu Jin was self-taught. Before he could even share his insights with her, this legal loli already knew how to use the power of all things to coordinate with Artoria and Wu Baohua's attacks.

Lu Jin wielded repulsive and attractive forces, along with gravity, with unparalleled skill.

After they finished their battle, An Qiluo, who was in charge of the enemy on the other side, strolled back at a leisurely pace.

It has to be said that An Qiluo is truly strong. She dealt with so many enemies all by herself, and she didn't even break a sweat, let alone get injured.

Too lazy to waste energy collecting loot from the corpses of the participants in the island killing game, Su Yu and the others set off again for the southern coast of the island.

As An Qiluo passed by the body of the woman who had cheated on her husband, she couldn't help but take another look.

"You killed her?"

Only after walking quite a distance did An Qiluo speak softly, asking Su Yu in front of her.

"Um."

Su Yu didn't hide anything and directly admitted the fact, repeating the words the cheating woman had said before she died.

This naturally includes the whereabouts of the other newcomers, as well as the torment the cheating woman has suffered these past few days.

An Qiluo was not surprised at all by the fate of the cheating woman and the other newcomers, but Su Yu's ruthlessness made her frown slightly.

"That woman kept complaining that we didn't show up in time to save her from her predicament. She doesn't understand what self-reliance means at all. As the saying goes, helping is a favor, not helping is one's right, but in the eyes of this kind of person, not helping her is the biggest mistake. This is probably what the old folks mean by 'a little kindness is appreciated, but too much kindness breeds resentment.'"

"Firstly, I don't believe she harbored any resentment about this. Secondly, I feel that after experiencing so much, death is the best ending for her."

"Since my abilities are limited, the only way to eliminate unstable factors in the team is to take responsibility for myself and my colleagues before the trouble develops and before I can control it."

Su Yu would never allow herself or her companions to be put in danger because of unstable factors within the team.

His words also eased An Qiluo's furrowed brows.

When Su Yu and his group arrived at the southern coast of the island, they noticed that a warship was already anchored on the nearby sea.

Upon seeing Su Yu and his group appear at the seaside, the general on the warship immediately dispatched a helicopter to pick them up.

"General, how did you know they would arrive here this morning?"

The adjutant standing next to the general looked at the surveillance footage transmitted back by satellite and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Come on, let's go meet these guys."

The general did not offer an explanation when asked by his adjutant.

Even if you're a close confidant, there are some secrets that are better kept from them.

The general certainly couldn't tell his adjutant that he had received a call from someone calling himself "Red Cube," who said these people would assist him in carrying out the Great Purge plan.

The so-called Great Purge Plan was the general's intention to launch a coup, seize his country from the hands of those incompetent, pretentious, scheming, and shameless nobles, and then establish a new country full of vitality and energy, completely controlled by the military!

The general had considered changing things through legitimate means.

But each time, his proposals were easily rejected by those in high positions, and he was even suppressed and ostracized.

Over time, the general learned to be patient, burying his truest thoughts deep in his heart. He outwardly obeyed the politicians' arrangements, but secretly he was accumulating strength.

To be honest, even the general didn't know where the guy who called himself "Red Cube" got his information about the Great Purge plan. He felt he had done a very discreet job of it.

But what does it matter!

No matter what the other side's plans were, the general didn't care. Once he controlled the entire country, no one could do anything to him.

The guy who called himself "Red Cube" sent some really powerful superhumans, but in front of a huge country, these people were no different from ants.

A single nuclear bomb could level the entire island, let alone these superpowered individuals.

The "Red Cube" thought he was very clever and felt that he was being used, but wasn't the general also using these superpowered individuals?

With these superpowered individuals leading the charge, his plans will go much more smoothly.

The helicopter carrying Su Yu and others slowly landed on the deck of the warship. The wind whipped up by the propellers made the general's military overcoat flutter loudly.

The hatch opened, and Su Yu was the first to jump out.

His gaze swept quickly across the deck layout: heavy machine guns, ammunition boxes, and fully armed elite soldiers. Everything appeared orderly, suggesting that this general was a meticulous man.

"Speak, what is your purpose?"

Looking at the people who were getting off the helicopter one after another, the general asked Su Yu.

"Purpose?"

Su Yu was startled, thinking that the general had realized they were planning to assassinate the president. He became vigilant, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.

"Stop playing dumb. I know perfectly well why you're here. State your purpose, why you want to help me, and what you want from me."

The general stared at Su Yu. After observing him for several days, he was certain that the young man in front of him was the leader of the group behind him.

As the old saying goes, to judge a person, look at their heart; to listen to their words, listen to their underlying meaning.

As soon as the general uttered those words, Su Yu immediately understood what was going on.

He cursed inwardly, "Damn it!" No wonder the Red Cube told everyone to go to the southern coast of that island and said that a warship would come to pick them up. It turned out that everything was going according to plan. This general was trying to assassinate the president and launch a coup!

Judging from the general's attitude, Su Yu guessed that the Red Cube had already made contact with the other party.

"I don't know what other people's motives are, I only know that I'm doing this purely for money."

In front of the general, Su Yu shrugged, revealing a greedy look.

"Oh......"

The general smirked and let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

"By the way, when are you going to keep your promise? We've collected so many totem stamps, not just as souvenirs."

As if by magic, Su Yu took out a totem seal from his spatial watch and tossed it onto the deck of the warship.

Seeing him do this, Lu Jin and Wu Baohua simply took out their own totem seals and threw them in front of the general as well.

Three thick stacks of human skin were piled up on the deck of the warship. They were so tightly stuck together that even the strong winds whipped up by the helicopter rotors couldn't blow them apart.

"What are you thinking? Each of you has collected at least fourteen totem seals. The reward starts at hundreds of billions. Not to mention me, even His Majesty the President cannot pay such a huge amount of cash. I can guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives and enjoy wealth and luxury. The premise is that you work hard and follow my orders."

The general didn't even bother to glance at the three stacks of human skins that Su Yu and the others threw out; he simply smeared them on their faces.

"We'll talk about the future after you've accomplished it. If you want us to work for you, you need to offer something tangible. I understand that you can't pay such a large amount of cash, but shouldn't you first give us a portion of the bonus in kind? That would be more convincing, wouldn't it?"

A hint of disdain flashed in Su Yu's eyes; he hated it when people made empty promises to him.

"What do you want to convert the cash into?"

The general always kept his hands in the pockets of his military overcoat.

Whether from his expression or his words and actions, one could sense the general's contempt for Su Yu and the others.

These people are about to die, yet they're still greedy for worldly possessions!

In the general's opinion, Su Yu and his group were incredibly stupid. Did they really think that by killing the president of this country, they would become heroes in the eyes of the people and be surrounded by people as they walked onto the award stage?

Regardless of who ultimately kills the president of this country, these individuals are destined to become scapegoats for this coup.

What awaited them was neither flowers and applause, nor honor and wealth, but a cold death!

"I want gold. If I don't have enough gold, I'll use weapons instead."

Su Yu said to the general that these were the two things he wanted most right now.

"arms?"

Upon hearing Su Yu's words, the general narrowed his eyes and began to examine the other party more closely for the first time.

Perhaps due to his military status, the general showed great concern for the word "arms".

What does this guy need weapons for?

Could it be that the guy who calls himself "Red Cube" is some foreign force that wants to collect weapons and then carry out terrorist attacks?

How many troops do they have, and how many of these superpowered individuals?

The general had investigated the background of the guy who called himself "Red Cube," but the guy seemed to have appeared out of thin air. No matter how much he used all his connections, he still couldn't find the source of the call or where in the world it came from.

"What do you need weapons for?"

The general stared intently at Su Yu in front of him and asked, word by word.

"Never mind that, it's not for you anyway. As for the weapons I'm talking about, I'm not talking about simple guns and ammunition. Don't try to fool me with a few broken guns, a few boxes of bullets and grenades. I want everything, from airplanes and tanks to individual combat equipment, like RPG rocket launchers, military thermal imagers, drones and radar detectors!"

Su Yu made an outrageous demand of the general, regardless of whether the general would give him anything or how much he could give him.

"Do you want an intercontinental ballistic missile, the kind with a nuclear warhead?"

The general was amused by Su Yu's words and couldn't help but speak up.

"That works too. That thing is quite valuable; it can be worth a lot of bonuses."

Su Yu wasn't stupid; he naturally understood the sarcasm in the other person's words, but he pretended not to know.

"We'll talk about that after you finish your work. Until then, I can give you a few planes, a few tanks, plenty of RPG rocket launchers, and even a few hundred if you want. I also have some military thermal imagers, drones, and radar detectors in stock. As for gold, I'll have someone prepare it in advance. Once you come back to the capital of this country with me, I'll give you as much as they've prepared."

The general didn't mind paying a small deposit upfront, since the goods would return to him once these people were dead.

"Can."

Su Yu nodded and readily agreed.

To be honest, the total value of what the general gave him had already exceeded his expectations.

When it comes to playing mind games, who can outsmart the Far Easterners who are well-versed in history?

Even a fool could guess what the general was up to; the old man thought he had him cornered.

However, the general did not know that Su Yu was making a one-off deal. He did not want to pay the final payment, and all the other party wanted was a deposit!

"Then please arrange accommodations, General, so we can get some rest. You know, we haven't been eating or sleeping well these past few days, and we've suffered a lot. Working in this state will affect our efficiency."

Ignoring the fully armed soldiers on the surrounding deck and the heavy machine guns pointed directly at them, Su Yu spoke to the general.

"Take them to rest."

The general ordered his adjutant beside him, refusing to condescend to personally lead these people to their lodgings.

"Yes."

The adjutant saluted and gestured for Su Yu and the others to follow.

The adjutant arranged a six-person dormitory for Su Yu and the others. Not far from here, there was a bathroom where soldiers could take showers.

Upon learning that the warship had hot water available for showering 24 hours a day, Su Yu couldn't help but burst into tears.

God knows how frozen he got in that bath on the island by the cold river water!

If Su Yu had known that if he had just endured another half day, he could have taken a nice hot shower, he wouldn't have suffered this ordeal.

"Hehe, never mind you guys, I'm going to take a shower first."

Lu Jin had long been fed up with this feeling of not showering for days.

Su Yu plopped down on the bed. Although it wasn't as soft as his own bed, it was still better than sleeping on the floor.

Wu Baohua also climbed onto Su Yu's upper bunk, his posture was so casual, and his expression was extremely enjoyable.

"Auntie, let's go take a bath together."

Lu Jin went by herself, and even brought An Qiluo along to accompany her.

"I don't need it. S-level or higher protective suits have built-in temperature regulation, and since I haven't been exercising much, I haven't sweated at all."

An Qiluo declined Lu Jin's invitation. There were three bunk beds in the dormitory, and she randomly chose a lower bunk to rest on.

"Don't do that! I feel safer when we're together!"

Lu Jin didn't care about anything else, walked to An Qiluo's side, hugged her arm and acted coquettishly.

After glancing at Su Yu and Wu Baohua, and then at Lu Jin, An Qiluo had no choice but to accompany her to take a bath, as she was being pestered by her relentlessly.

Esdeath and Artoria didn't move; as Valkyries, they didn't need to take a bath at all.

With An Qiluo by Lu Jin's side, Artoria felt at ease.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, Artoria could tell that Angela was a good person and someone she could trust.

On the other hand, there's nothing we can do if we're worried.

Even if she were by the host's side, if the other party had any evil intentions, she would be no match for An Qiluo and wouldn't even be able to buy time.

Moreover, it was Lu Jin who took the initiative to invite An Qiluo to take a bath together.

Artoria could see through this basic social skill.
