The inflatable boat rocked gently on the surface of the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Mister... I don’t really have anything on me...\" Her voice trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an instinctive reaction—after all, this was her first time facing something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many times she had rehearsed it in her mind, imagination was never the same as reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, Suzy was calm. Calmer than she had ever been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo, it’s a chick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her reaction only made the attackers more smug, their guard lowering further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lone woman posed little threat to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with her voice shaking like that? Clearly timid. Weak. Easy prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already labeled her in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the crap! Bring the boat over now! Or I’ll skewer you and feed you to the fish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bald man barked impatiently, stepping closer as he brandished his wooden spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the man who had jumped into the water was already closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold glint flashed in Suzy’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her right hand, which had been hanging quietly at her side, suddenly snapped upward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fssst!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearly inaudible sound sliced through the air, striking the man in the water with perfect precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—my eyes!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a bloodcurdling scream, thrashing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden chaos drew the others’ attention—and gave Suzy the opening she needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising the weapon in her hand, she unleashed a rapid barrage at the men surrounding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand trembled slightly, but her aim remained deadly accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One after another, they were hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She aimed straight for their faces—the potent pepper spray needed only the slightest contact to incapacitate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bitch! You’re asking to die!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two attackers, both shocked and enraged, plunged into the water—disappearing beneath the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy knew exactly what they were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She scanned her surroundings sharply, then drew a dagger, gripping it tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple on her right—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She struck without hesitation, plunging the blade downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled cry echoed beneath the surface. Blood quickly spread through the water as the ambusher clutched his thigh, screaming as he surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the other man abandoned the attack and rushed to pull his companion away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, they lost their nerve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman might look timid, but she struck fast and without mercy—and she carried weapons far more dangerous than they’d expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief exchange, the group began swimming back toward shore with their injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy watched them coldly, then picked up her paddle again, preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young face appeared at a nearby window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl looked no more than fourteen or fifteen, her hair disheveled. The moment she saw Suzy, her eyes lit up with desperate hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss!! Help! Please—please save us!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her wrist, a faint glimmer of light flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Suzy could get a closer look, a hand yanked the girl backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up right now!!\" a woman shrieked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t—ah—Miss—help—please—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s hoarse cries grew weaker... until they vanished completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy’s gaze sharpened, something dangerous flickering in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the middle-aged woman reappeared at the window, her expression sharp and hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mind your own business! Get lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy’s mind flashed back to that faint glimmer at the girl’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her head, glancing once more at the battered, disheveled group of attackers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were working together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a change in expression, Suzy reached into her space and pulled out a crossbow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men, already half-blinded and reeling from the pepper spray, froze as soon as they saw it. Cold sweat broke out across their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whowasthis woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was she carrying so many weapons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret hit them all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy didn’t waste a single word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised the crossbow, aimed at the leader—and pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt shot forward with a sharp whistle, embedding itself deep into his calf. Blood welled instantly as the man let out a piercing scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah—! You... you—!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at her with a trembling hand, wanting to demand why she had suddenly attacked—but the question died in his throat. Even he realized how ridiculous it would sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others stared at her warily, not daring to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the weapon in her hands, theirs were slow, crude, and unreliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, their eyes still burned from the pepper spray—they couldn’t even aim properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re all together, aren’t you?\" Suzy said calmly, gesturing with the crossbow toward the window where the middle-aged woman stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood the warning instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes—yes, we are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about that girl?\" Suzy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men exchanged uneasy glances, hesitating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thwip—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bolt struck the wooden plank right at their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We—we kidnapped her!\" they blurted out in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy nodded slightly. \"How many people are in that room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"J-just her watching them...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t try anything clever,\" Suzy said softly, her tone chilling. \"I won’t let you off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such a threat, no one dared resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen her accuracy—and they had no doubt she could put a bolt through their skulls if she wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t want to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she was sure they were no longer a threat, Suzy maneuvered the inflatable boat closer to the window where the woman was, then climbed inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, the woman had seemed bold and domineering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, face-to-face, her expression turned pale with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"D-don’t come any closer! Or I won’t hold back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched a kitchen knife, shouting frantically, \"Hurry! What are you waiting for?! Come help me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could lose control and lunge forward, Suzy fired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bolt struck her knee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one swift motion, Suzy kicked the knife away, her movements clean and efficient. Then she surveyed the small room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, three children were tied up. Two girls and a boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl who had called for help was among them—the oldest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slumped weakly against the wall, her eyes unfocused, barely conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cheek was swollen, and a cloth had been stuffed into her mouth—fresh marks made it obvious the woman had done it not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two children, no more than ten, stared at Suzy with fear and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, the woman’s wails continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the noise, Suzy stepped forward and untied the ropes binding the children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened here?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The older girl, seeing Suzy, seemed to regain a sliver of clarity. She grabbed Suzy’s hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss... cough... Miss...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing their cracked lips, Suzy took out a bottle of mineral water mixed with spiritual spring water from her backpack and helped them drink, one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After drinking, their condition visibly improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you explain now?\" Suzy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl spoke, her voice still trembling, \"They... they came to rob us... and they killed my parents...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-05-30T15:23:36.944Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","6f591b8aed591d21b72525ffe471601abf3d6f7aa2bf649c5f68e5dec1878773","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-117","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-115",210,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-cover.jpg"]
