Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

"I hate it—those hyena beastmen are retreating!"

Tan Sheng's struggling movements paused, and he turned to look at the hyena beastmen, but was immediately turned back by the sight of blood on the ground.

"Put me down!"

Teacher Hao asked in a puzzled tone, "They seem afraid."

The guy who was greedy for survival pointed at his own nose: "Afraid of me?"

The European Emperor: "What do you think?"

Following the gaze of these hyena-like beastmen, Li Zhi saw only a few figures swiftly disappearing into the woods.

Her expression changed slightly: "Something's coming."

She had just disembarked from the airship without thinking, forgetting to put on her cloak and leaving her spatial backpack on the ship. Apart from the fusion badge on her autumn clothes, she had nothing on her!

GreedyPass was puzzled: "So what if they're here? We have protective shields, don't we?"

Thinking of the figures he had seen earlier, Li Zhi had a vague sense of unease: "I'm afraid it won't be of any use."

Teacher Hao's expression turned serious: "How could it be useless?"

As they were talking, the people in the woods probably noticed that they had been discovered, and one by one they emerged from the hidden dark corners.

Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

One.

Despite his reluctance to give up, he exclaimed with delight, "They're all human!"

Noticing Li Zhi's increasingly grim expression, the Emperor of Europe changed his own: "Sanwu, your protective shield should be able to stop those people, right?"

Her shield didn't fail, but it couldn't stop humans!

Li Zhi: "No."

The lucky guy, clinging to a sliver of hope, asked, "You're not kidding, are you?"

Li Zhi smirked: "I also hope I'm joking."

From now on, she will think twice before disembarking, and she must weld her cloak to her body!

Li Zhi: "We must find a way to get back to the airship."

Greedy Pass also realized something was wrong: "But they are closer to the airship than we are."

At this moment, Li Zhi and his group of four were standing in almost a straight line with the fifteen people who came out of the woods, and the flying boat was in the middle of the line.

Li Zhi and her group were at least 80 meters away from the airship, while those people were less than 30 meters away.

The European Emperor spoke rapidly: "Can you fight? How many can one of you take on?"

Li Zhi: "...Two?"

Without a cloak, there are no weapons or props. Li Zhi has never studied combat or martial arts. Relying entirely on her D2 attribute points, she can only fight two opponents at most.

The European Emperor: "...Judging from your tone, I find it hard to believe you can really take on two."

Teacher Hao: "I'll hold them off for a bit. You guys run to the boat and try to provide support from up there."

The European Emperor: "No! Your...it's unusable now!"

Teacher Hao: "That's the only way. Stop arguing, I..."

Li Zhi interrupted them: "If you trust me, buy me some time to get back to my flying boat."

Hao Shi and Ou Huang both shut up at the same time.

After a moment's thought, a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes: "You must bring Sheng Sheng with you."

Teacher Hao: "Get on your boat."

Li Zhi: "Okay."

GreedyPass: "I'm not going. I want to stay with you guys. And why are you all looking like you're sacrificing yourselves? The four of us working together might not be able to beat them."

The European Emperor's expression changed slightly: "You think you have a chance of winning?"

After thinking for a moment, Tan Sheng said, "I don't think we'll die."

Both the European Emperor and Master Hao visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhi exclaimed incredulously, "Can't you see the axes and knives they're holding behind their backs? And the one in the very middle is holding a gun!"

The European Emperor: "Sheng Sheng's talent is intuition, especially intuition for danger. Basically, if she says it's okay, it means we can win."

Li Zhi knew why she suddenly changed the subject.

In the time it takes to say a few words, those people have already reached the back of their airship, and some are preparing to climb up.

Li Zhi made a quick decision: "Let's go over there."

Greedy for survival passed: "The past?"

Li Zhi: "In the past, there was still room for maneuver. Are we going to abandon the airship and run into the woods? Let's not even talk about whether we can escape or not. Even if we do escape, what then?"

—Those hyena beastmen are still waiting.

Teacher Hao and Emperor Ou exchanged a glance.

Teacher Hao: "Let's go."

As soon as they moved, the women standing next to the European Emperor and his group became alert and raised their knives and axes.

The woman in the middle raised her hand.

The others immediately laid down their weapons.

She stepped out of the crowd, her expression unlike the tense ones; in fact, it was somewhat gentle and kind.

His words sent chills down everyone's spine: "You guys have some guts. If you had just stood there or run into the woods, you would have been shot."

A round-faced girl next to them was clearly pleased: "Aunt Su, they should pass the test, right?"

The one referred to as Aunt Su was not the woman who had just spoken, but a rather unremarkable middle-aged woman around forty years old standing next to her.

Aunt Su looked this way.

Li Zhi immediately flashed a sweet smile: "Hello Aunt Su, my greatest strength is that I'm obedient and sensible. If you tell me to go east, I'll definitely go west. Besides, my talent is speed; I'm incredibly fast. I'm sure I'll fit in quickly if I join our big family!"

The group was astonished by how quickly Li Zhi managed to feign innocence.

But after exchanging glances, they began to introduce themselves one by one.

"Hello Aunt Su, although I'm timid, I have a talent for instinctive danger, which is quite useful to me."

"Hello Aunt Su, my talent is that I am strong. You can give me any job that involves moving things. I will do it without complaint."

"Hello Aunt Su, I..."

"No need to say anything more." Aunt Su said calmly, "I won't keep you in suspense. I can tell that three out of the four of you are in cahoots. I don't allow cliques in my team. You'd better figure it out."

Teacher Hao's eyes turned cold. Li Zhi grabbed her arm and pretended to be aggrieved, saying, "Aunt Su, you've finally stood up for me! I've always felt that they're ostracizing me, but none of them will admit it! She's clearly my own sister, but she treats other people's sisters better than me. She just stands by and watches when I'm bullied at school, and she even conspires with others to frame me for stealing money..."

As she spoke, she broke down in tears, large drops falling down her face. She gasped and choked back sobs, the veins on her neck and forehead bulging, and she could barely speak.

Aunt Su was taken aback, her gaze shifting between Li Zhi and Teacher Hao.

"Are you her sister?"

Teacher Hao's expression tightened: "Yes."

"Biological children?" Aunt Su asked tentatively, "You two don't look alike."

Teacher Hao: "...We don't have the same mother."

The round-faced girl muttered to herself, "No wonder."

Aunt Su glanced at her, and the girl immediately made a gesture of pulling her mouth shut.

She pondered for a moment: "The four of you can stay, but I'm warning you beforehand, if I find out you're forming cliques..."

Before she could finish speaking, someone climbed off the boat of the "European Emperor" and said, "Aunt Su, they're lying! The things on that boat belong to three people."

Aunt Su looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi cried so hard she could hardly breathe, and said intermittently, "I didn't lie... We had a fight, and she said she didn't have me as her sister anymore, so she moved her things over there. I never lie..."

Teacher Hao said stiffly, "She is indeed my sister, and we did have a fight."

Aunt Su smiled gently: "How about this? Your sister can join directly. As for your two friends, you can discuss which one to die. If neither of you dares to make a move, we can help. But if you don't choose, all three of you will die together, understand?"

As soon as Aunt Su finished speaking, the woman in the middle frowned slightly, but did not refute what she said.

The others exchanged glances, and after the woman nodded, they raised the knives and axes in their hands.

Choose.
