Something's Wrong! Qi Ning Is Raiding Our Base!

"Host!" 001 suddenly cried out excitedly.

Xia Yu, who had been resting against a tree, jumped in fright. "What is it? Are you dying?"

It covered its mouth and muttered quietly, "Sorry, I scared you."

"What is it?"

"That guy surnamed Chi is here! He just landed on the island!"

His reaction was indifferent. "What does that have to do with me?"

"He must be here for you!"

"Oh."

001 excitedly hugged 105's round body. "He must have realized his true feelings! He's been watching the livestream since yesterday, and today he came looking for you. If that isn't love, what is?! Ahhh! Little Five, I'm dying from this ship!"

"..." Squeezed so hard it could not move, 105 briefly suspected that the big shot was actually a romance system that desperately wanted its host to date.

"Shut up. You're giving me a headache."

"Mhm!" It immediately muted itself. It had detected that its host was in a good mood. If it ruined that good mood by being noisy, that would be a grave sin.

After resting for an hour, Chu Lan saw that everyone had mostly recovered their strength and stood up. "Brother Zhang, let's check out the water source. Sister Liu Yue and Xueli can search nearby and see if they can find any supplies."

Xia Yu slowly opened his eyes. "Brother, what about me?"

"You... You stay here and protect Sister Liu Yue and the others."

He frowned. "I want to get water."

He had sweated all over and absolutely needed to wash up.

"..." Chu Lan wanted to roll his eyes again. Are you trying to drag me down with you?

Liu Yue stepped forward. "Let Xia Yu go with you. Xueli and I will stay nearby, so there won't be any danger. Even if the Red Team comes over, they won't attack two helpless weak women like us. If Xia Yu goes with you, he'll be an extra helping hand if you run into the Red Team at the water source."

"Sister Yue is right." Zhang Wen agreed. "When we go get water, Xia Yu can get some fresh air too."

Chu Lan had no choice but to agree. "Then let's go. Bring your weapons and water buckets."

"Let's go, let's go! We're heading out!"

The three of them set off toward the water source marked on the map. Chu Lan and Zhang Wen, fully armed, carried a large water bucket at the front, while Xia Yu traveled light and followed leisurely behind them.

[I'm seriously speechless over Xia Yu. All he does is cling to Chu Lan and do nothing. He's even more useless than the two girls.]

[I really want these two privileged brothers to get eliminated already. Seeing them makes me uncomfortable all over!]

[Qingqing and the others are going to the water source too. The little couple is about to run into each other!]

[Support the Red Team killing Xia Yu! Who cares about any three-rule agreement? This is a hostile survival variety show!]

"Wait!" As they approached the water source, Chu Lan sharply detected movement and immediately called for them to stop.

Zhang Wen quickly crouched behind a tree trunk and asked in a low voice, "Someone there?"

He felt his way two steps forward. "It looks like the Red Team got here before us."

"Huh? Then what do we do? Go up and fight them head-on, or wait until they leave before getting water?"

"Hide for two minutes and see what happens."

"Okay."

Xia Wanqing, Xiang Ziqi, and Chen Hongyi were by the spring. After washing their faces, they began scouting the surroundings.

"Qingqing, do you think Brother Lan will come over?" Xiang Ziqi sounded excited. "I want to take Brother Lan out!"

Xia Wanqing smiled. "He probably will. This is the only water source marked on the map."

"Then let's set up an ambush and wipe them out when they come to get water!"

"But we don't know when they'll come. Brother Lan knows us so well, he definitely knows we'll come here. He might deliberately avoid us."

Chen Hongyi burst out laughing. "Is Brother Lan that timid?"

Xiang Ziqi shook his head, looking a little smug. "Hahahaha, Brother Lan definitely wouldn't be scared if he were alone, but he has four teammates with him. If they get locked in the Black Room again, we'll wipe out the Blue Team before they can be revived."

"Brother Ziqi, don't say that. Brother Zhang is very capable too."

"Yes, yes, we can't get too arrogant, otherwise..."

"Bang!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Before he could finish, bright red paint burst across his chest.

[Red Team's Xiang Ziqi has been hit in a vital area and is eliminated!]

[Blue Team's Chu Lan has eliminated Red Team's Xiang Ziqi!]

"Fuck!" Xiang Ziqi looked down in disbelief. "Brother Lan, that's not sporting!"

Xia Wanqing and Chen Hongyi hurriedly found cover, raised their guns, and warily looked ahead.

The black-clad bodyguards soon came out and took Xiang Ziqi away. As he left, he still shouted unwillingly, "Qingqing! You have to find a Revival Card and revive me!!!"

"Nice!" Upon hearing the announcement, Zhang Wen nearly got so excited that he exposed their position. He gave a thumbs-up to Chu Lan, who was lying in the grass with a sniper rifle. "Captain, amazing! Your aim is insanely accurate!"

Chu Lan retreated. "They've hidden in the bushes. I can't get a shot now."

"It's fine, it's fine. Taking out one of them means we've made a huge profit!"

"Wait a little longer and see whether they leave. If they keep guarding the place, we can't get any water either."

"Is it just Qingqing and Hongyi over there now? We don't know where Qi Ning and Yang Tian went. They're not lying in ambush for us, are they?"

He frowned. "They should leave someone behind to guard their base. Let's assess the situation first."

[Brother Lan is awesome! Finding a spot, setting up the sniper rifle, taking the shot—all in one smooth motion. Even if they're on the same team, he doesn't hold back!]

[I'm seriously crying! All three of them were standing there, and Qingqing was even blocking half of Ziqi's body, but he still didn't shoot him. Chu Lan, you couldn't bear to shoot your wife, could you!]

[Xiang Ziqi: Sorry, I was the unnecessary one.]

[Good thing Chen Hongyi ducked quickly, or he would've been next. Chu. Jealous King. Lan didn't earn that nickname for nothing. No man is allowed to stand next to his wife, not even brothers who spend every day together!]

The two groups remained in a standoff for over ten minutes. Neither side fired, and neither dared approach the water to collect it.

Zhang Wen lay in the grass, covered in mosquito bites and starting to lose patience. He turned to Xia Yu, who was sitting cross-legged behind the water bucket. "Hey, Xia Yu, are you okay?"

Xia Yu was completely fine. "I'm okay."

"I'm practically anemic from all the blood the mosquitoes have sucked."

Chu Lan felt that continuing this standoff was a complete waste of time. Just as he was about to call out to the other side, he heard an announcement over the broadcast.

[Red Team's Qi Ning has eliminated Blue Team's Liu Yue!]

[Red Team's Qi Ning has eliminated Blue Team's Xueli!]

Fuck! He cursed under his breath. He had forgotten about Qi Ning, who cared about neither heaven nor earth, only his own happiness.

Zhang Wen was utterly shocked. "Sister Yue and Xueli were eliminated?! Oh no! Qi Ning raided our base! That's ruthless! He even attacked girls with no ability to resist?!"

"Brother Lan!" Xia Wanqing's clear voice called out from the bushes opposite them. "Sorry, you can have the water. We're going to look for Revival Cards first!"

Chen Hongyi also called out with a laugh, "Brother Lan, after you get the water, hurry up and look for Revival Cards too. You need to find two of them."

After saying that, they withdrew.

Chu Lan stood up with a grim expression. "There's no point going back now. Let's get water first, then go look for Revival Cards."

"Okay."

Zhang Wen carried the large bucket over and filled it to the brim. "Captain, come help me carry it."

He held out his sniper rifle. "Xia Yu, hold the weapon for me."

Xia Yu did not take it. "Put it down first. I want to wash my face."

"Okay. Hurry up. Brother Zhang and I will go ahead, then you can catch up." They would not be moving fast while carrying the large water bucket, so there was no need to wait for him and waste time. The Red Team had left, and there was no danger.

"Oh."
