The strongest life skills player

Chapter 15 The True Colors Are Revealed

The bloody hole that exploded in his shoulder blade made Razor Claw roar.

Dark red beast blood gushed out, instantly staining the gray-green scales red.

Firearms can still cause significant damage to a beast of his level.

But the excruciating pain did not deter it; instead, it ignited the predator's ferocity.

But it did not pounce immediately. The beast's instincts and its intelligence, which was no less than that of a human child, made it wary of the dark muzzle of the gun. It was this strange thing that had injured it!

Razor Claw crouched low, its massive body quivering nervously over the dead leaves, its three sharp claws digging deep into the ground, poised to strike like a seasoned hunter waiting for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Li Qiang and Wang Hu tried to remain calm, but their hands holding their weapons trembled slightly, and they instinctively stepped back.

Da Tian struggled to his feet and quickly stood next to Zhou Yan.

Old Lei and Amu were completely dumbfounded. The sudden change in front of them left their minds in chaos, and their eyes darted fearfully between the injured beast, the gun-wielding leader, and the motionless adult.

Zhou Yan's heart was pounding in his chest, and the muzzle of his gun was still trembling slightly. He only had nine bullets left, and he had fired five in a row in the heat of the moment. The rest were his last resort to save his life.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Huai beside him.

"Sir...aren't you really going to help us?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huai immediately let out a cold laugh:

"Make a move?"

"Help you deal with it? So you can watch it tear me apart, eat me, and then divide up all my possessions?"

Chen Huai looked at the gun in Zhou Yan's hand and continued:

"I was wondering before, even if you planned to use someone else to kill me and feed me to the monsters, how could you guarantee your own safety? It turns out you had this trump card."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's pupils dilated sharply, and he no longer harbored any illusions:

"How did you know?!"

His meticulously planned scheme turned out to be completely exposed to the other party from beginning to end.

Their plan was indeed as Chen Huai had said: to take advantage of his kindness and lure him into fighting the alien beast alone. This Razor Claw was something they had discovered not long ago and had been avoiding before, but it came in handy this time.

Although Chen Huai looked like a high-level superhuman, after careful observation, it seemed that this was not the case.

Especially after he had carefully inquired about the battle between Chen Huai and the cat demon that day, he became even more certain of this guess: the opponent's level was actually not high; he had just managed to escape with some trump cards.

But it doesn't matter if he makes a wrong judgment.

If Chen Huai is too powerful and easily kills Razor Claw, they won't lose out... They can get a free Razor Claw and even ask Chen Huai to stay longer, giving Wild Grass Camp an extra free thug and bodyguard.

What if Chen Huai loses?

Just as Chen Huai guessed, this gun was his trump card. He would take advantage of the moment when both sides were severely injured or when Razor Claw won a Pyrrhic victory to shoot them both down in one fell swoop.

At that time, Razor Claw's body, as well as Chen Huai's treasures, will all be his.

To this end, he did not hesitate to put Ota at risk, enticing Razor Claw to show himself.

Of course, once the deed is done, Da Tian can choose one of the captured treasures first, and there's even a gun as collateral.

However, his supposedly secret plan and meticulously designed accident were completely transparent to this young superhuman!

He wondered why this superhuman was behaving so differently today, not offering any help from beginning to end.

However, he couldn't figure out where he had given himself away.

Da Tian, ​​Li Qiang, and Wang Hu are his most capable subordinates, and there is absolutely no possibility of them leaking information. Lao Lei and Amu, who may have opposed his plan, know nothing at all. If it weren't for Chen Huai's suggestion, he wouldn't have planned to bring these two people along at all.

"You do know a little about superhumans, knowing that our physical resistance far exceeds that of ordinary people, so you figured that if poisoning didn't work, you'd use someone else to kill us... Unfortunately, you only know a little. Don't you know that superhumans also have exceptionally sharp senses? Did you think I wouldn't hear you whispering your secrets in the tent?"

Chen Huai suddenly spoke up, explaining to Zhou Yan how they had been exposed.

"What scheme?"

The two men's cryptic conversation left Old Lei bewildered, his rugged face filled with confusion.

Amu looked at Zhou Yan in alarm, then at Chen Huai:

"Sir... Boss Zhou, he..."

"Still don't understand?"

Chen Huai's gaze swept over the bewildered Old Lei:

"Your boss Zhou, from the moment he discovered me, this fat sheep in distress, has been plotting to kill me for money."

"impossible!"

Old Lei shook his head violently:

"Boss Zhou isn't that kind of person. If he were truly greedy for money, why would he have emptied his pockets to thank you for saving his life after the Thorn Rat attacked the camp?"

Chen Huai scoffed upon hearing this:

"You mean those five dinars? They were just bait to test my appetite and keep me in line. He gave me the money like it was his own flesh, just so I wouldn't be eyeing the spoils."

Chen Huai hadn't been there for nothing these past few days. He not only learned everything about the surrounding area, but also thoroughly understood the prices of some commonly used supplies in the wasteland.

"A dozen or so complete porcupine pelts, once skinned and processed, would fetch at least thirty dinars in the hands of passing merchants, not to mention the extra fat and meat they would collect."

Old Lei was struck dumb, and instinctively retorted:

"No...no way! Boss Zhou has led us through the wasteland for so many years! How could he..."

"Do you really think he's giving me his entire fortune to thank me? His assets are far more than just five dinars. Only an honest and simple person like you would think he's truly devoted to the camp."

Chen Huai gestured for Lao Lei to look at what Zhou Yan was holding:

"Look at what he's got! That gun and the bullets alone, could you buy them for less than thirty dinars? But even in the face of the greatest danger, even when people in the camp were injured or died, did you ever see him take it out?"

Old Lei was speechless, his blank gaze turning to Zhou Yan with a last glimmer of hope:

"Boss...is what the adults said true?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhou Yan suddenly burst out laughing.

The mask of pretense was torn off, leaving only a desperate, mad gamble.

"Old Lei! Amu! Wake up! In this cannibalistic world, corpses are everywhere, and those who die from overeating are the wolves who dare to prey!"

A burning flame of greed raged in his eyes, and he wanted to tempt Lao Lei and Amu together:

"Let's attack together! Take him down first! He might be carrying a gene serum that can instantly grant superhuman abilities! Kill this brat, and Wild Grass Camp... we can all become superhumans ourselves!"

The chilling declaration exploded through the forest, finally revealing the true intentions.
