Song Fan saw that he was being straightforward, so she said, “Tell me about the current situation.”

The man then stammered and began describing the current situation.

The competition was essentially a strict battle royale. Everyone fought against each other, and the last person standing would receive a huge sum of money, with the prize amounting to billions.

The man’s name was Cao Lei. Due to some reasons, he was desperately short of money. He didn’t know how this group got his information and contacted him, asking if he was willing to participate.

At first, he thought these people were just influenced by too many movies and truly believed they could control the world, so he didn’t think much and agreed to join. But upon arrival, he realized it wasn’t like that at all.

“They really kill people, and it’s half normal people and half psychopaths. Those lunatics don’t care about anything!” Cao Lei said with a face full of regret. “But there’s no way to escape. The guards here all have guns. I’m really unlucky.”

Song Fan didn’t fully believe him but understood the gist of the competition.

However, since arriving on the island, she hadn’t seen any surveillance equipment, not even in the room where she was held. It was even less likely to use drones to film in such a dense forest. So, what was the purpose of gathering these people to fight?

At this moment, the man on the ground suddenly convulsed and then foamed at the mouth, scaring Cao Lei into jumping behind Song Fan.

Song Fan stepped forward to check. The man twitched a few times and then died from poisoning.

As she turned her head, Cao Lei raised his hands high, “I swear, it wasn’t me. I just choked him. He wasn’t dead just now. I swear!”

Song Fan knew it wasn’t him. She could tell that the poison must have been in the man’s body for a while and was triggered by emotional agitation.

Seeing that Song Fan had no intention of attacking him, Cao Lei shakily said, “Don’t you want that thing?”

“What thing?” Song Fan asked, puzzled.

“The eyeball, the eyeball,” Cao Lei now truly believed Song Fan had stumbled in by accident. “Didn’t you read the pre-competition manual? To score points, you have to take the eyeballs after killing someone. Otherwise, it doesn’t count.”

Song Fan took a step back, “You do it.”

Cao Lei looked at the man on the ground and then at his own hands, finally admitting defeat, “I… I don’t dare.”

“Here’s a suggestion: you’ve played games, right? The ones who kill indiscriminately at the beginning are usually the first to die.” Song Fan picked up a medicine bottle from the dead man’s body. It turned out to be a hemostatic agent. She put it in her pocket.

She turned to Cao Lei and said, “If you want to survive, my advice is to hide first.”

“That won’t work,” Cao Lei noticed that she didn’t want to kill him, so he became a bit bolder. “Without killing, you can’t get equipment. Look, you have a gun, and he had medicine. But I…”

He awkwardly took out a whistle and a rope used as a makeshift belt, “These are practically suicide tools. I don’t need anyone else to do it; I could just hang myself.”

He looked at the canteen hanging on Song Fan’s waist and swallowed hard, “And food and water. Boss, we have to rob others, or we’ll die too.”

He called her “Boss” quite naturally, and with his bootlicking expression, he really looked like Song Fan’s little follower.

Song Fan didn’t want to waste time with someone like him. She turned and walked away. Cao Lei hesitated for a moment, looked at Song Fan’s gear, and her earlier skills. He hesitated for just a couple of seconds before following her.

Cao Lei seemed unable to stay idle. After five minutes, he asked, “Boss, you don’t know the rules, so why are you here? You look well-off, carrying an air of elegance. You’re different from us commoners.”

Hearing his flattering words, Song Fan rolled her eyes internally but still gave an answer, “I was captured and brought here. I don’t know about the competition and want to escape the island.”

“Escape? Boss, do you have a plan?” Hope ignited in Cao Lei’s eyes.

“If I knew, why would I ask you?” Song Fan suddenly felt that having a somewhat normal person around wasn’t very useful.

“Then let’s join the competition!” Cao Lei’s hope wasn’t extinguished. “Boss, with your skills and abilities, you’ll definitely win. By then, take me with you…”

“What if I kill you then?” Song Fan stared at him intensely. “What if I just need one more eyeball to win?”

Cao Lei stepped back but continued to flatter her, “Boss, you wouldn’t. You’re beautiful and kind-hearted. You’d definitely spare my life.”
