I Wouldn't Really Hurt My Brother

The Blue Team members were stunned by Xia Yu's moves.

Xueli was closest to him and watched with her own eyes as he fired the first shot, changed positions, then fired a second. He landed two consecutive hits, leaving her mouth hanging open in shock.

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit!" Qi Ning had no mind left to look for anyone to fight. He sprinted toward Xia Yu. "Bro! What was that?! You could see them from there? Did you install X-ray vision or something? Huh? Where'd he go?"

By the time he ran over, Xia Yu had already vanished. "Where's my bro?!"

Xueli pointed at the bushes still swaying faintly in the distance. "He went that way. Looks like he's chasing someone."

Without another word, Qi Ning followed, so excited his voice nearly cracked. "You and Sister Liu Yue should head back to the base first!"

"Oh... okay..."

[I've got nothing left to say. Xia Yu's ridiculous stunt was practically inhuman!]

[This is insane!!! I had Xia Yu's and Xia Wanqing's streams open on my tablet and phone, and Xia Yu was seriously godlike! It was like he had a tracker installed on Xia Wanqing. Xia Wanqing had barely changed positions, the camera hadn't even caught up yet, and Xia Yu's bullet was already there. You couldn't even film an effect like this in a movie!]

[Shh!!! My husband caught up to them! He caught up! This is the first time I've seen him run!]

[Holy shit! What agile moves! Xia Yu definitely used to be a special forces soldier, I'm not joking!]

[Husband, be careful! Chu Lan is there too. Don't let those two take you out! Wait for Qi Ning! Let him scout ahead first!]

[Qi Ning: Thanks, my life is a life too!]

"Brother Lan." After Xia Wanqing met up with Chu Lan, his expression did not look good. "I got hit twice..."

Chu Lan glanced at the red paint on him and frowned. "Your position has been exposed. Fall back first."

He nodded gloomily. "Okay."

The two had just turned around and were about to run toward No. 4 Base when a gunshot rang out from behind them, and a vivid red bloom spread across Xia Wanqing's back.

Bang!

Beep beep beep!

[Red Team's Xia Wanqing has been hit in a vital area and is out!]

[Blue Team's Xia Yu has eliminated Red Team's Xia Wanqing!]

Xia Wanqing could hardly believe it. He had already run so far away. How could he still have been hit...

"Qingqing..."

He lowered his head slightly, hiding the unwillingness in his eyes. "Brother Lan, hurry and hide."

"Still hiding?"

Xia Yu's cool, gentle voice drifted over, and his figure emerged from the grass behind them. There was a hint of reproach in his tone. "Little brother, why did you run so far? What if you fell?"

Chu Lan immediately ducked behind a large tree nearby.

Xia Wanqing turned back and gave a helpless smile. "You killed me to get revenge. You're not angry anymore, right?"

Xia Yu drifted closer leisurely. "If I kill you, Brother will get angry with me, won't he? Why is Brother hiding? Come out and hit me."

The person behind the tree gripped his gun tightly but said nothing.

"But didn't Brother tell me to kill him? I came. Brother, surrender your weapon and come out."

Xia Wanqing was taken away by the bodyguards. As he passed Chu Lan and saw the conflicted look on his face, he bit his lip. "Brother Lan, a loss is a loss. It's okay."

Chu Lan's brows furrowed even tighter. In the end, he made up his mind. His earlier actions had already caused resentment, and he had no idea how badly people were cursing him online. If he surrendered now, his fans would only be more disappointed, and it would not make up for anything.

"Looks like everything Brother told me just now was only to coax me." Xia Yu sighed in disappointment. "Fine, then forget it."

Chu Lan gritted his teeth, stuck his gun out, and fired a burst.

There was no broadcast announcement.

Xia Yu had dodged it.

Chu Lan inwardly cursed. He had underestimated his opponent's strength. He put away his gun, intending to find Chen Hongyi and regroup first.

Whoosh!

A fierce gust swept in from the side.

His vision went black, and he rolled away quickly, narrowly avoiding it in a somewhat sorry state.

Xia Yu curled his lips, drew back his long leg, and lunged forward. He grabbed the muzzle of Chu Lan's assault rifle and yanked it forward.

Chu Lan could not match his strength, and the gun was snatched away.

His reaction was quick as well. He reached for the pistol at his waist.

Smack!

Xia Yu kicked his arm, sending the pistol flying to the ground.

"Hiss..." He had not expected Xia Yu to hold back no strength at all. His arm had gone numb from the kick, and he could not help crying out in pain.

Then his vision went dark again as he was pounced on and knocked to the ground. A cool, slender yet powerful hand clamped around his throat, while a knee pressed heavily against his lower abdomen.

Xia Yu's lips tilted upward slightly, his gaze fierce. He drew a military knife from his waist and stabbed it toward Chu Lan's chest without hesitation.

Chu Lan had no ability to struggle. He stared wide-eyed at the military knife raised high above him, gleaming with a cold silver light. An overwhelming terror rose from the depths of his soul, unfamiliar yet familiar. In that instant, he seemed to see Death's scythe. As if he had lost all hope, he closed his eyes.

[Ding! Chu Lan's fear value +20000.]

Beep beep beep!

[Red Team's Chu Lan has been hit in a vital area and is out!]

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

"Heh..."

A mocking laugh without malice sounded beside his ear. "Scared? Why are you so timid? I wouldn't really hurt Brother."

Chu Lan abruptly opened his eyes, his gaze still somewhat unfocused.

Xia Yu released his throat and moved his knee away, rising from atop him. He played with the military knife in his hand. "This is a retractable knife I found yesterday, a cold weapon provided by the production team. It's pretty fun. So cool."

Chu Lan let out a long breath and sat up, his back feeling chilly. He had truly thought he would be killed just now. When he looked at Xia Yu again, his eyes held lingering fear and alarm. Even after the bodyguards pulled him up from the ground and led him away, he could not say a single word.

[Fuck! Am I watching a livestream variety show or an action movie?!]

[I was scared to death. The moment he raised that knife, I genuinely thought Chu Lan was going to die. I almost called the police.]

[I already screen-recorded it. If anyone dares call him a bottom again, I'll shove this clip in their face. You want to top him? How many lives do you have?!]

[Why aren't Chu Lan's fans talking shit anymore? Hahahaha, I'm dying. Your precious brother almost pissed himself over a retractable knife.]

[Xia Yu, weak version: Seriously? Seriously? Did you think that just because I call him Brother, you could ignore my 180-plus height and special-forces skills?]

[I have a master's degree in psychology, and I sincerely advise everyone shipping Xia Yu and Chu Lan to give it up. Xia Yu definitely does not like Chu Lan. Calling him Brother is absolutely more sarcastic than affectionate. And Chu Lan going along with Xia Yu is not because he dotes on him, but because he is afraid. Don't say I didn't warn you.]

[Hahahaha, who still dares say Xia Yu likes Chu Lan and targeted Xia Wanqing out of jealousy over him?]

[Chu Lan: You really like this kind of knife without mercy. Want one?]

"Bro!!!"

Only after the battle ended did Qi Ning finally arrive. Although he had not seen how Xia Yu fought Chu Lan, taking down two people alone was fucking incredible!

He pounced over and hugged Xia Yu tightly, thrilled beyond measure. "My bro! You're amazing! During those years in the United States, did you really become a special forces soldier?!"

"Let go."

"I won't! You're my god! My one and only god!"

Xia Yu frowned slightly and shoved him away in disgust. "Get lost."

"Bro~"

"Shut up."

[Red Team's Chen Hongyi has eliminated Blue Team's Xueli!]

[Blue Team's Liu Yue has eliminated Red Team's Chen Hongyi!]

[As all members of the Red Team have been eliminated, the game is over. The Blue Team has achieved final victory! Congratulations, Blue Team!!!]

[All guests, please gather at No. 1 Base!]

The consecutive broadcasts announced the Blue Team's victory. The deserted-island showdown, originally planned to last five days, had ended early.

"Yes! We won!"

Qi Ning clung to Xia Yu's shoulders like a koala, practically hanging off him. His eyes were full of admiration. "Bro, you're incredible. Without you, we definitely would've lost. How did you train your shooting? Teach me, please."

Xia Yu pushed away the face leaning toward him. "Get down. You're heavy."

"Not heavy, not heavy." Qi Ning reached forward and gave him a feel, then exclaimed in shock, "Bro, you look pretty slim, but your muscles are so well-built! You definitely used to be special forces, right?!"

"..."
