Chapter 1060: Oh my, survival variety show meets ex! 30
Yu Sui was certain that Jin Chen had just changed the direction he left; he couldn't return via the original route.
"Hey, where are you going?" Shen Yi asked.
"Find Jin Chen."
Yu Sui didn't say much, his mind filled with having lost contact with Jin Chen, his whole body's pressure low to the extreme.
"But the desert island is so big…… where are you going to look for him? The route might change." Shen Yi also looked over worriedly, "The map is with Jin Chen…… well, the map is no longer useful."
"I think… we should keep going forward."
Xia Dong suddenly spoke, his tone a bit uncertain, "After all, only the paths on both sides have been changed; moving forward should be fine."
Yu Sui gave a cold glance over, not believing what that person said.
Without Jin Chen by his side, he was like an ice block that never thaws; nobody dared to invite misfortune at this time.
"Hey Yu Sui!" Shen Yi shouted again, but still couldn't keep Yu Sui, only able to watch helplessly as he disappeared in the direction Jin Chen had left.
Seeing Zhong He also about to go over, Su Nai quickly grabbed him, "With Yu Sui there, Jin Chen will definitely be fine; if you go over, you'll only make the conflict worse."
Su Nai saw Zhong He's nervous expression, suddenly avoided everyone, and said to Zhong He.
"Is the person you want to protect Jin Chen?"
This is tantamount to directly exposing Zhong He's obtained identity.
Zhong He did not deny, merely Silence.
This is tantamount to acquiescence.
Su Nai secretly thought it was good that she hadn't used medicine beforehand.
Their exchange wasn't heard by others, but it's not safe now, so Su Nai stopped after making her point.
The little girl Fang Yi burst into tears, "What should we do now? Isn't it said that the strongest combat power is Yu Sui and Jin Chen? But they're both gone."
"Moreover…… ahhh!"
Fang Yi suddenly screamed, pushing away the man who almost fell onto her.
Everyone looked over, only to see Xie Shao tumbling to the ground, his face slamming forward onto the floor, his back pierced from the shoulder blade by a fist-sized wound, blood pouring out.
Fang Yi was obviously terrified, her soul unsettled as she panted, her lips trembling.
"He…… how is he? Just a moment ago he was still talking to me……"
"Xie Shao!" Shen Yi knelt beside him and shouted, together with Lin Gui they turned the body over, seeing a corpse with eyes not closed in peace.
"Damn."
Shen Yi cursed, "Another one died right under our noses."
〖Huh? Huh? I didn't see anything just now! How did he suddenly die! 〗
〖What's more terrifying is that with such a severe wound, Xie Shao didn't even make a sound……〗
〖No…… so the killer is really among them! 〗
"It's you again……"
Shen Yi suddenly pointed at Silence He Chao, expression incredulous, "Last time Bai Xuan died, you were also the nearest person!"
He Chao frowned, "I'm not."
He Chao suddenly came to his senses, glanced at where he and Xie Shao were standing, somewhat surprised, "Really not me, I was clearly standing…… over there just now."
He Chao, the more he spoke, the more he noticed their gazes at him were off, his expression grew anxious, and he also looked toward Lin Gui beside him.
"Little Gui, you don't believe me either!"
Lin Gui didn't speak, merely frightened, covering his mouth, trembling hand pointing at He Chao's cuff.
Everyone followed his finger and immediately became alert, picking up weapons.
He Chao lowered his head, seeing his right cuff soaked with fresh blood, his breath caught, and he was completely stunned.
"I…… am not."
He was at a loss and helpless, suddenly feeling his whole body turn icy.
Just a moment ago he was clearly just dazed…… why would there be blood?
But now nobody believes his words.
"Are you a werewolf?" Su Nai asked coldly.
"I'm not, I……" He Chao, under so many doubtful gazes, could only first reveal his identity.
"I am the original investor of this show, and also the distributor of the five-hundred-million prize."
He Chao said, his confidence returning, "Since the show started with the challenges, everything has already deviated from the original plan; I couldn't possibly be a werewolf."
His gaze was sharp, already carrying a threatening tone.
"If you want to kill me, none of you will get the final five-hundred-million."
Everyone's expressions varied.
〖Damn, turns out He Chao is the investor Father! 〗
Xia Dong suddenly laughed out loud, "But compared to a life, what's five-hundred-million worth?"
He drew his knife.
——
Elsewhere.
Jin Chen encountered a swaying road surface during his pursuit.
He was somewhat surprised, barely stabilizing his stance; amidst the gale and falling trees, he watched wide-eyed as the paths changed, the originally broad mountain road turning into a small stream, like the shifting of stars.
【Oh! Awesome!】
0731 expressed a heartfelt sigh.
【Host, the behind-the-scenes person cut the whole desert island into small mechanisms, spread across all positions!】
Jin Chen looked at the werewolf ahead that had deliberately slowed down to wait.
He clenched his fist and with one punch smashed the camera he was carrying for filming.
Seeing the suddenly blacked-out bullet comments: 〖???〗
〖What happened? 〗
Jin Chen's wrist moved, unnoticed by any surveillance, his Spiritual Power turning into a rope that directly snatched the werewolf over.
"Howl……?"
The werewolf, howling angrily, suddenly met Jin Chen's smiling face.
It was utterly dazed, its beastly eyes—like a human's eyeballs—slowly turning toward the spot where it should have been standing, not understanding how it had suddenly been dragged over.
Jin Chen gave it no chance to think, seizing it and delivering a good beating.
Up close, it was obvious that the werewolf was a mutated human, perhaps the product of a failed genetic experiment.
Jin Chen's eyes were mocking, and he showed no mercy.
Turning people into neither-human-nor-ghost monsters, yet daring to call it an experiment contributing to technological progress—only those professors idling away to the point of boredom would have the leisure for that.
After beating the werewolf until it could no longer fight back, Jin Chen released it, spread his fingers, and pressed them against its head, a faint blue light flickering in his eyes.
Shortly after, the werewolf obediently stood straight, daring not to attack Jin Chen again.
Jin Chen picked up the thing that had fallen to the ground, his brows furrowed tightly.
Two years ago, when the original owner went on a mission and got injured, the combat uniform he wore had its limbs slashed.
Why would it appear on this deserted island, or… is that assassin also here?
We must first go back and take Yu Xiao Su away; that assassin knows him and is surely hiding among the guests.
Jin Chen thought, following the 0731 instructions as he headed back, but when he passed the small stream he again felt an air disturbance, instinctively turned to dodge, and sharp bamboo spears shot out from the dark forest.
It turned out to be a mechanism.
He nimbly dodged, casually picked up a pole to block the path, but unexpectedly what followed were even more fierce, successive traps.
The controlled werewolf became a shield to block swords, but the traps came in waves, seemingly trying to drive Jin Chen in a certain direction.
Gradually, Jin Chen figured out the pattern.
The traps only stop when they see a corpse, triggering at the slightest stir of wind.
