Chapter 268 Give it your all!

"I'll take you down with me!"

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Brook suddenly lashed out, a crowbar abruptly appearing in his hand!

He lunged at Chen Yu!!!

But before his blade could fall, his body stiffened...

Because a dagger had been plunged into his lower back from behind, the tip of the blade protruding from his abdomen...

Brook lowered his head, his lips moved slightly, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

The middle-aged mercenary felt no guilt as he pulled out the dagger and stepped back, watching Brook struggle a few times with the other mercenaries until he stopped moving.

Chen Yu watched this scene, his eyes showing no emotion.

These people's resolve was actually quite decent...

Chen Yu simply and crudely activated the Grand Tutor Container, obtaining another free attribute point.

He put it directly into Perception.

At this moment, his Perception had reached 29!

[Basic Attributes]

Perception: 29 (16+3)

However, after Chen Yu confiscated seventy percent of their supplies, he found that there weren't any items at all...

"So poor?!"

Chen Yu was currently in desperate need of golden body cards, so he felt a bit annoyed.

After all,

after this round of combat,

he only had 54 golden body cards left...

On average, every battle consumed several cards.

But there was no way around it;

the golden body card was like a wheelchair—

it could make things that were originally impossible extremely simple.

Even when facing three SSS-Rank Awakened simultaneously, Chen Yu dared to hold his ground.

This wasn't something to be particularly proud of;

after all, SSS-Rank Talents were divided into different tiers, and Han Cheng could also hold his own against three opponents without being disadvantaged.

But the problem was that it was nearly impossible for Han Cheng to actually kill Courbet, Morgan, and Quest.

But he could!

All of this relied on the golden body cards!

If he relied solely on his own strength, killing three SSS-Ranks would still be very difficult!

Precisely because of this,

Chen Yu prayed countless times—

When the mission ends, please reward me with some golden body cards!!!

Besides the lack of items, there were also no bullets, which was also bad news!

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "Are you guys that short on bullets?"

The middle-aged mercenary said, "Strong one from Huaxia... I'm sorry, our captain loved combat, so bullet consumption was massive. Even though Brook could produce them, there still weren't enough."

His name was Faulkner, the most senior mercenary in the team.

The others also nodded in agreement.

Chen Yu's lip twitched, but after thinking it over, he felt relieved.

Because the three guns he just seized...

[Marcus's Sidearm]

Description: A modified semi-automatic pistol. The surface of the gun body has wear marks formed by Marcus's long-term use.

Effect: Chambered bullets automatically gain a splitting effect when fired, covering the target area in a fan shape, with a certain degree of force enhancement.

Note: Only the Awakened themselves can trigger the effect.

[Nora's Submachine Gun]

Description: A well-maintained submachine gun with a folding stock. There are obvious cheek-weld wear marks on the handguard, and her initials are carved next to the magazine release.

Effect: After the first bullet hits the target, subsequent bullets gain slight ballistic correction in flight, automatically converging toward the first hit point.

Note: Only the Awakened themselves can trigger the effect.

Not just those two guns, the third one, [Berkeley Raphael's Shotgun], was the same!

Chen Yu could obtain these Talent weapons, but he couldn't win over their hearts...

This also precisely confirmed Chen Yu's difficulty—he didn't have a handy weapon.

The warhammer he just snatched from the bearded guy could only be considered average...

It was completely inferior to the Boning Knife Plus version made by Yang Kexin!

"Only thirty bullets."

"Hmm..."

Chen Yu thought for a moment and still put the three guns into his backpack.

When he got back to the Baby Bus, he would give the guns to the Class Monitor and the others; at least they could protect themselves.

"Alright, start rowing."

Chen Yu jumped onto his boat and signaled the remaining six people to board.

The mercenaries looked at each other with troubled expressions.

Chen Yu shook his head. "I need you to row in two shifts for me, the faster the better!"

Seeing that they were hesitating,

Chen Yu spoke directly, "Whoever the fuck refuses, I'll kill."

"Got it! Coming right now!"

"I love rowing the most!"

"Let me go first!"

The six people scrambled onto the boat and took their positions, none of them daring to say another word.

The iron-hulled boat restarted, trailing a long white wake across the sea.

It had to be said that the strength of these mercenaries was quite impressive.

To survive now, they could only row with all their might.

Chen Yu leaned against the gunwale, with a full seventy tide needles in his pocket.

The brightness had increased another level.

"Big brother, do we just keep going along this route?"

A mercenary cautiously approached.

Chen Yu raised his hand to interrupt. "Wait a moment, I'll tell you the direction shortly..."

He pulled a card from his pocket. Its surface had footprint-like textures extending from one end to the other, and then the tracking card's information expanded in his vision.

[tracking card · Activated]

[Please set tracking target]

[Name: Han Cheng]

[Highway Region: Huaxia · Haicheng]

[Personal Characteristics: Male, about 1.75 meters tall, long eyelids, SSS-Rank Blood Blade, awakening medium is a Republic-era ghost head blade, wearing a Huaxia military uniform and black boots]

[Note: The more detailed the personal characteristics, the higher the accuracy]

Chen Yu filled in Han Cheng's personal characteristics one by one and confirmed they were correct.

"This should be detailed enough, right?"

"It's unlikely to find a second Han Cheng in the world..."

Chen Yu murmured.

After selecting confirm—

Sizzle!

The tracking card burned in his palm...

The ashes swirled in the air and then slowly drifted toward the northeast!

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes and said loudly, "That way, take a slight detour, and be fast!"

"Yes!"

"Too slow! Speed up!"

"Uh, okay!"

"Still slow! Speed up!"

"..."

"I'm looking for someone. Once we find him, you'll be free! Give me a full sprint!"

"Yes!"

...

...

In the early morning, the sky was a deep ink blue, and the sea surface was held down by a low mist.

Han Cheng sat at the bow of the boat, the ghost head blade resting across his knees.

The lighthouse's cold white glow rotated slowly in the far distance; it was much closer than last night and had grown much larger.

It was estimated that they would arrive in another day.

Everything was originally peaceful,

but Chen Muqing suddenly looked up and frowned. Less than a nautical mile directly ahead...

A cluster of cold white light suddenly exploded from the horizon.

"An island???"

Chen Muqing frowned. "How can it be so bright?!"

That brightness

was even more exaggerated than the last island they landed on!

One must know,

that the previous island had three top-tier teams lying in ambush!

Then this one...?

Zhang Lieyang narrowed his eyes. "Captain Han, should we still approach?"

The others also looked toward Han Cheng.

"With the number of tide needles we currently have, it's definitely not enough to enter the top ten."

Han Cheng's voice was steady. "Even if we reach the lighthouse immediately, we'll only be returning to the highway. But the ticket to the third stage, and the legendary Talent Release, will have nothing to do with us."

"That is not what I want..."
