"What are you fantasizing about?" Bai Lu looked at him incredulously, "Just us? Among the people here, only Sister Yue and that stoic-faced guy next to her can fight a bit, the others... I won’t say more, but if we were to attack, it would be tantamount to delivering goods to their doorstep."
"This..." Yu Li, although somewhat embarrassed, still nodded with a strong sense of self-awareness, "Bai Lu does have a point."
Aside from his acupuncture skills, he really couldn’t contribute much else.
Unfortunately, this was real life, and he couldn’t use the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle on his enemies as they do in TV dramas.
When it came to offense, he truly couldn’t be of any help.
"Don’t worry," Shang Shuyue curled her lips, "I have my ways."
Ji Yanbai gazed at the leaderboard where only a few names remained and quietly pondered.
Now, with only two days left, their team’s opportunity to attack was also down to the last chance.
Currently, aside from a few scattered teams, only Team Q remained.
He had never imagined that the team he once looked down upon as the bottom tier would now become the biggest challenge in his quest for victory.
He had been confident with the highest points in hand.
But after the storms of the past few days, their team’s points had dwindled down to a little over three thousand.
And the prices in the program’s exchange store after the storm were outrageously high.
Even a bottle of plain mineral water cost five thousand points, not to mention other food items.
To make matters worse, the food they had stockpiled was all consumed during the storm.
Their current situation was no different from being at a dead end.
So, if they wanted to survive, they had to break through now.
Just then, two teammates who had gone out to scout returned.
Ji Yanbai then pushed aside the thoughts that had furrowed his brow and turned to the two approaching men.
"Captain, just as you thought," one of them said, "The other three people are lone wolves. Although they have formed an alliance now, they are discordant in mind and scarce in resources, just like us. They are all racking their brains to find a way out. Another two, we really didn’t see any trace of them, they’re probably not around here, but over at Team Q’s side..."
"It looks like they are short on people."
"Yeah," the other man continued, "We’ve been squatting outside for the whole morning and through lunch, and we haven’t seen their captain or that guy with the dyed blonde hair anywhere, don’t know where they went."
Ji Yanbai’s eyes darkened and he opened the sideline leaderboard again.
At the top, Zhao Lang’s name was prominently in second place.
Neither eliminated nor in sight. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
But wasn’t this an opportunity for them?
Ji Yanbai’s fingertips tapped lightly on the table as he made a decisive stand, "We attack now."
After all, with only two days left, if not now, then when?
Three of them geared up and quietly approached the cabin as dusk approached, where the faint aroma of food was drifting out.
During these stormy days on the island, all the guests were locked in the base, afraid to move, terrified of being consumed by the calamity.
Except for the people from Team Q.
They lived in a sturdy wooden house, enjoying the warmth of smoked and roasted meals. Even without a clear view inside, it was easy to imagine how comfortable their lives had been.
In contrast, their situation was as miserable as could be, and over time, everyone’s heart filled with resentment.
Before they reached the vicinity, one of them gritted their teeth and said, "This bunch has been showing off for so many days, today we have to make them suffer."
"Exactly, once we eliminate them, that cabin and the food inside will all be ours, perfect to enjoy for the last two days!"
The viewers in the live broadcast couldn’t help but worry for the people inside.
Although they were safe hiding inside the wooden house, the incoming group was the strongest Team A, and in their possession were air guns that could even make wild beasts lose their nerve.
Even with just three people, their presence was a formidable deterrent.
[Oh my, Team A’s coming over at this time, aren’t they just taking advantage of Jiang Li’s absence to pick up an easy win?]
[Hilarious, does everyone now think Jiang Li is the core of Team Q?]
[Aside from Brother Pei who can fight, the rest of them inside... forget it, they probably can’t even run away if they tried.]
[Anyway, with only two days left, it’s pretty good for Team Q to be offline now, they won’t last much longer.]
[No, no, no, I can’t stand to see them go, I still want to keep watching, waaaah, can’t the showrunners give them their own group variety show!]
As Team A approached within a hundred meters of the cabin, the few people who had been busily working inside suddenly stopped, put down what they were holding in unison, and looked towards the window simultaneously.
As Shang Shuyue’s words fell, the strings of bells tied to the door started to shake even more violently.
These bells were part of a setup they had completed that morning.
To avoid suspicion, they even pretended to be going fishing, but in truth, they had strung transparent fishing lines within a half-mile radius of the cabin. The ends of the lines were tied to the door and adorned with bells, so as soon as someone approached the cabin, they would immediately be notified.
Upon receiving Shang Shuyue’s signal, Yu Li climbed the ladder and grabbed a bamboo pole suspended from the ceiling to operate.
— This was another one of Shang Shuyue’s strategies, using the principle of pinhole imaging within the bamboo pole to clearly view the outside of the house, while making it difficult to be discovered.
"Captain Shang, it’s Team A’s people. They’ve just slipped into the forest, trying to encircle us from behind."
Hearing this, the faces of the few became grave.
It was Team A that had come!
Jiang Li had specifically warned them to be careful of Team A’s members, as they had real weapons in hand that could cost them their lives if they weren’t careful.
At that moment, Pei Ye, who had been tucked away in a corner tending to the fire, finally stood up with a pat of his hands.
"Do you need my help?"
Though Team A’s weapons were indeed troublesome, for someone even more professional like him, they posed no problem at all.
In less than ten minutes, he could take care of all the people outside.
After all, the young master had specially entrusted him to look after these people before he left because they were all Jiang Li’s good friends, and nothing could go wrong with any of them.
However, Bai Lu smiled and shook her head, "Big brother, we know you’re very capable, but this time we want to rely on ourselves to prove that we too can survive well on this island."
Until now, they had completely relied on Jiang Li’s abilities.
So, after she left, everyone fell into a brief period of anxiety.
But was that what Lili wanted to see?
She had protected them for almost a month; it was time for them to turn around and defend her territory.
