Mu Qingyun first led the group to the seaside. After setting up a few small traps by the shore, she turned to Su and said, "You stay here and guard. We will be back shortly."
After a brief pause, she looked at the frail young man and took a laser gun out of her storage pouch, handing it to him. "Take this for self-defense. I noticed your storage pouch does not contain any offensive weapons."
Does he really not have any?
Su raised an eyebrow and seriously thought about it.
Oh, right. His storage pouch had been organized by someone else. Besides the requirement to include some seasoning, he did not impose any other strict conditions.
It seemed that the person who organized it thought, given his strength, he did not need those defensive items.
"All right, I will wait here for you. Please come back quickly." Su obediently nodded, reached out, and took the laser gun, holding it firmly in his hand.
[What? Such a weakling, and he does not even know to bring some self-defense tools? Is he serious?]
[Maybe it is because he has no money?]
[The person above, I can tell you are stuck with 12g internet. Haven't you been online for too long? You cannot keep up with our 36g speed.]
[Su is someone who can produce a whole bunch of seasonings. How could he possibly be out of money?]
[Wait, did you notice how Black Bear Sister's expression was obviously strange when the SuMu CP were sending sugar?]
[The person above, I admire you. You can tell the expression on a bear's face. Respect.]
[Are you crazy from shipping CP?]
[Haha, judging by the way this sister talks, we are clearly fellow enthusiasts shipping all sorts of couples.]
Leaving Su behind, Mu Qingyun quickened her pace, swiftly hunting animals on the island together with Xiong Ruoyou. However, the island had very few edible animals. After a long time, they had only caught some mutated rabbits.
[Mu Bro, hurry back to the shore, Su is being bullied!]
[Oh my god, what are they planning to do?]
"Hmm? What are they saying?" Xiong Ruoyou noticed something was wrong in Mu Qingyun's livestream and asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyun lowered her head to look at the livestream. Comments demanding that she rescue Su were flooding the screen.
Su got into trouble?
"Let's go." Frowning, she threw the rabbit she was holding aside and ran toward the shore.
"Hey, wait for me!" Xiong Ruoyou looked dumbfounded as Mu Qingyun sprinted ahead. She shouted and then hurried after her heavy bear legs.
...
"You useless thing, you are courting death. I told you these fish are ours." A cat-eared man sneered disdainfully and swung his claws, immediately leaving a ten-centimeter-long wound on Su's arm.
Beside the man, a cat-eared girl proudly looked at the fish she had just snatched from Su and began eating without permission.
"You are so unreasonable! These fish clearly fell into my trap. On what grounds do you claim them?" A cold glint flashed in Su's eyes as he reached for the livestream device and slowly pressed the off button.
Originally, he did not intend to act, but these beastmen had gone too far.
"Oh? Your name is written on the fish?" The cat-eared girl raised her face, with blood and fish bones at the corner of her mouth. Her green eyes looked him up and down with disdain.
"I did not see that." The cat-eared man retorted smoothly, grinning proudly. "By the way, I will tell you quietly—you will be the fourth person I kill today."
"Kill?" Su raised an eyebrow, but there was no fear in his eyes.
"Yes. After all, the rules of the military academy do not forbid killing."
That was right. In the military academy trials, everyone relied on their own strength. Even if someone died in the trial field, their family could not blame the academy. It was a mutual choice and mutual test process. All consequences were borne by the participants.
Although most participants did not actively kill, because the final passing list was ranked, some did have malicious intentions.
Every year, incidents of trial participants killing each other occurred. In the end, the academy would only pay some humanitarian compensation to the victims' families.
"You are right. Indeed, there is no rule against killing."
A cold voice came from behind. Before the cat-eared man could react, a sharp pain erupted in his neck.
His breath instantly stopped. His green eyes widened in disbelief. His mouth opened, but he could not say a word before collapsing to the ground.
Xiong Ruoyou, who had finally caught up, stopped just in time to see the cat-eared man fall. His green eyes stared fiercely at her, radiating death.
"Aaah! He killed someone! He killed someone!"
She screamed loudly, crouched down, buried her head in her knees, and covered her head with her hands.
Mu Qingyun: ...
Su: ...
Cat-eared girl: !
"Xin!" The cat-eared girl screamed miserably, hurriedly putting down the fish and running to the fallen cat-eared man, no longer looking proud.
"Are you all right?" Mu Qingyun did not pay attention to the girl's grief. She frowned as she looked at Su. The claw wound on his arm was deep to the bone and still bleeding heavily, looking terrifying.
"It hurts."
Su pouted, looking wronged. With his uninjured hand, he pointed at the cat-eared girl. "They bullied me. They not only stole my fish but also wanted to kill me."
"Is that so?" Hearing this, Mu Qingyun's whole body radiated coldness. She turned to the cat-eared girl, who was still immersed in grief.
During these days together, Mu Qingyun had already considered Su as a younger brother from a previous life.
The current scene overlapped with memories of the past life, when she and her younger brother were bullied and her brother's arm was broken right before her eyes. The fury instantly overwhelmed all her reason.
"Damn..."
Her eyes burned with murderous intent. She raised her right hand, and the fire power in her palm surged violently.
The cat-eared girl immediately sensed the murderous intent from Mu Qingyun and dared not hesitate. She abandoned the cat-eared man's corpse and ran.
This person was definitely not someone to be bullied. Just the fact that she could kill Xin without Xin noticing proved she was not a match.
No wonder the frail young man had such confidence to confront them—there was a powerful person backing him.
"Little cat, do not run." Mu Qingyun sneered coldly. Flames rose in her right hand. She swung quickly, her body agile as she chased, completely cutting off the cat-eared girl's escape route.
"No, it is not my fault. It is him. He told me to steal the fish. He also hurt your friend. This has nothing to do with me." The cat-eared girl saw the situation was unfavorable and decisively betrayed the cat-eared man. She showed no trace of the miserable crying she had done over his body.
Seeing the impatience flash in Mu Qingyun's eyes, she knew her words were useless. She quickly changed tactics, pleading pitifully, "It really has nothing to do with me. Please let me go. If you let me go, I will repay you."
