My Marksmanship Is So Bad, Big Brother Won't Blame Me, Right?

Xia Yu blinked his big eyes innocently. "Can you find me a bottle of water first? I'm thirsty."

"You wouldn't drink when I gave you water just now?!"

"I wasn't thirsty then. I'm thirsty now."

Chu Lan felt his breath catch in his chest. He closed his eyes and snapped, "Wait here. I'll go find some. Don't wander off!"

Xia Yu nodded obediently, found a rock, and sat down. "Okay."

[ Ding! Chu Lan's anger +58. ]

Xia Yu waited where he was for nearly ten minutes and was starting to get impatient.

"Host~" 001 popped up. "The shop randomly refreshed a detector."

"What does it do?"

"It helps you find supplies. It's not expensive, just 100 points, and it lasts for a week."

He really was thirsty. "Then buy it."

"Got it. Purchased! There's something ten meters ahead to your left!"

Xia Yu got up and followed its directions. Sure enough, he dug a large box out of the bushes. When he opened it, there was a black sniper rifle and a whole box of bullets inside.

He frowned. It wasn't water.

[ Holy shit, a sniper rifle? How did he know there was something there? The production crew must have tipped him off, right? ]

[ See? He isn't wearing an earpiece, and the livestream audio is on. We didn't hear any staff give him a hint. ]

[ Didn't he say his eyesight was bad? The production crew definitely told him where the supplies were hidden beforehand. They walked around for so long without finding anything, but the moment he was alone, he found something. ]

[ Can Xia Wanqing's hypocritical fans focus on your own idol? Your precious boy has picked up enough stuff to open an arms store. Why haven't I seen you say the production crew arranged that in advance? A handsome guy picks up a sniper rifle, and you're all green with envy. ]

[ This is Xia Yu's solo livestream. Chu Lan and Xia Wanqing fans can fuck off to your idols' streams. Stop shitting everywhere. ]

[ A reminder to the handsome guy's looks fans: this isn't someone you can afford to attack. The Qi Household's ace legal team works for him too. ]

As the saying went, as long as the face was there, the kingdom would endure. After a full day of livestreaming yesterday, Xia Yu had gained plenty of looks fans. Even in his solo livestream, there were still many viewers, and the positive comments drowned out the nasty ones.

Chu Lan, who was acting alone, found quite a few supplies—weapons and food—but no water.

He had to keep searching while carrying a pile of stuff. In his heart, he had cursed Xia Yu dozens of times. There had been water earlier, but Xia Yu refused to drink it. Now he was deliberately making trouble for him.

After searching for nearly another ten minutes, he finally found two bottles of water in a clump of shrubs. He sighed in relief and was about to put them in his backpack when his sharp ears caught the sound of footsteps. His expression turned cold, and he quickly rolled forward.

Bang! A bullet struck the spot where he had been standing, firing the first shot of the deserted island gunfight.

He swiftly ducked behind a large tree, raised his assault rifle, and prepared to fire.

"Lan-ge, it's me." Xia Wanqing's clear voice carried over as he boldly stepped into an open area without any cover.

"Qingqing?"

"What a coincidence. I actually ran into you here, Lan-ge."

Chu Lan lowered his gun slightly and raised a brow. "Didn't you say you wouldn't attack me first? If I hadn't reacted in time, you would've eliminated me just now."

"Hehehe, I was just joking. I knew you'd definitely be able to dodge it."

"Hmph. Are you alone? Weren't you heading toward No. 1 Base?"

"Yeah, we've already set up camp. Now it's hunting time."

"That ruthless, huh?"

He chuckled. "Not really. We split up to look for supplies."

"Then take your time. I'm leaving first."

"I've been searching for ages and still haven't found water. Lan-ge, do you have any?"

Chu Lan glanced at the two bottles of water in his bag, hesitating slightly.

Xia Wanqing jogged over without fearing that Chu Lan would shoot him. Seeing the two bottles in his bag, he licked his dry lips and looked at him pleadingly. "Lan-ge, can you give me one? I'm dying of thirst."

"This..."

"I don't know if the production crew did it on purpose, but they dropped so little water. I haven't found any since I left No. 1 Base and came all the way here. Lan-ge, please..."

[ Give it to him! Chu Lan, are you even a man?! Your wife is acting cute, so why aren't you giving him water?! ]

[ Those watery eyes with that soft little voice—I'm melting. Chu Lan, what are you still hesitating for?! ]

[ I order you to give your wife water right now, unscrew the cap for him, and feed it to him. Mouth-to-mouth kind! ]

Chu Lan could not refuse him. He took out a bottle of water and handed it over. "I can only give you one."

Xia Wanqing's eyes sparkled as he reached out. "Thank you, Lan-ge..."

Bang!

Beep! Beep! Beep!

A gunshot rang out, followed by a piercing alarm.

Chu Lan stared blankly down at his chest, where the special bullet had hit and splashed bright red paint. He could hardly believe it.

Xia Wanqing was startled too. "Lan-ge..."

Then an announcement resounded across the deserted island.

[ Blue Team's Chu Lan has been hit in a vital area and eliminated! ]

[ Blue Team's Xia Yu has eliminated Blue Team's Chu Lan! ]

Everyone from both camps who heard the announcement was stunned, especially the three Blue Team members heading toward Outpost No. 2.

"What the hell?!" Zhang Wen doubted his own ears. "Our captain was eliminated?! By Xia Yu?!"

Liu Yue and Xueli looked at each other. "How could that happen? Could the gun have gone off by accident?"

"Oh my god, what kind of mix-up is this?! We haven't even found a Revival Card!"

"Hurry up and look! The captain's dead, and we don't have any weapons. If the Red Team comes over, won't we get wiped out? What are we even supposed to play then?"

"Right, right, right! Let's take the side paths and look for a Revival Card!"

The three of them panicked and changed their plan, heading into the mountains to search for supplies.

Chu Lan came back to his senses and looked resentfully toward where the bullet had come from.

"Tsk..." Xia Yu crawled out of the bushes, carrying the sniper rifle as he walked over. He frowned. "I missed..."

The moment Xia Wanqing saw him, he quickly hid behind a large tree.

"Xia Yu! What are you doing?!" Chu Lan gritted out.

Xia Yu held the sniper rifle, his peach-blossom eyes filled with remorse and self-reproach. "Sorry, Big Brother. I was trying to shoot Qingqing, but I missed. My marksmanship is so bad. Big Brother won't blame me, right?"

"You!" You couldn't aim at someone that huge, but you sure aimed right at my heart!

"Big Brother, did you find any water?"

Chu Lan clenched the bottle of mineral water in his hand, then threw it over. "Take it!"

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Two men in black appeared from nowhere, stripped Chu Lan of his belongings, covered his mouth, and took him away.

After drinking half the bottle of water, Xia Yu leisurely looked toward the person hiding behind the tree. "Qingqing, are you going to shoot me?"

Xia Wanqing tightened his grip on the assault rifle in his hands. "I promised Qi Ning that I wouldn't shoot you first."

"Thank you. Then can you leave first? I want to sort through Big Brother's belongings."

He looked conflictedly at the other bottle of water on the ground.

"Are you trying to steal Big Brother's belongings from me, little brother?"

Xia Wanqing bit his lip and turned to leave.

Xia Yu walked over to the pile of belongings, sat cross-legged, and took out the walkie-talkie to relay a message to Zhang Wen.

Half an hour later, Zhang Wen and the other two finally made their way over. "Xia Yu!"

He looked guilty. "Sorry, I accidentally killed Big Brother."

"Did the gun go off by accident?"

"I missed. I was trying to shoot Qingqing."

"Huh? You ran into someone from the Red Team?"

"Mm."

There was nothing they could do now. Zhang Wen sighed. "It's fine. We'll find a Revival Card and revive the captain."

Xia Yu lowered his head dejectedly and pointed at the pile of supplies. "These are the belongings Big Brother left behind."

"..." The three of them twitched at the corners of their mouths. There was really no need to immerse himself in it so deeply.

Liu Yue took stock of the items. "This is a pretty good haul. Let's split it up and keep moving. Keep an eye out for a Revival Card."

"Okay."
