57 Supernatural being! (1/2)

Seeing that the atmosphere in the team was getting stranger, Xu Xianchu said coldly, ”Look at your behaviors. The most important thing for us now is to find food and then get out of here. Unless you all wish to die here?”

Liu Bu laughed loudly and said, ”That's right, we should focus on working together now.”

Just a moment ago, a wicked thought entered Liu Bu's mind. But he realized that he didn't have many teammates left on his side. If anything shameful happened here, and all of them somehow made it out of this place alive, these soldiers would definitely silence those who were not with the private army.

”Where are we going to look for food?” Someone complained, ”Do you guys still wanna enter this forest? I'm not going in!”

Xu Xianchu looked at Ren Xiaosu. ”Since you're the most knowledgeable in wilderness survival, you can help us look for food.”

All of a sudden, the voice from the palace in Ren Xiaosu's mind said, ”Quest: Help the team look for food.”

Look for food?

Ren Xiaosu pondered it for a moment before pointing at a soldier next to Xu Xianchu and said, ”I saw him taking food from the pickup before we entered the canyon. There should be some food in his backpack.”

That soldier was dumbfounded. 'You were told to look for food from the wilderness. What's with pointing out that I have food on me?!'

”Quest complete. Awarded Basic Skill Duplication Scroll.”

Ren Xiaosu was amused. After all, the palace had only said to help the team look for food. It did not say where he had to look for it. Even if the food was someone else's, it was still considered food!

He was really beginning to like the way the palace passed its judgment.

Xu Xianchu looked at the soldier next to him. ”Take the food out.”

”Why should I take my food out?” The soldier turned hostile and said, ”What were all of you doing when I went to get the food? Some of you went to take your clothes, tents, and that celebrity even went to get her makeup bag. Why should I share the food with you?”

Ren Xiaosu said, ”That sounds pretty reasonable.”

Everyone turned to look at him in silence.

Honestly, Ren Xiaosu supported this person's argument. On one hand, he felt that the others had not behaved properly during the chaos. None of them rushed to grab any of the provisions, yet they wanted him to share his food with everyone else? This was moral coercion. But on the other hand, Ren Xiaosu was having so much fun watching this that he didn't see the need to take a side. He was not a good person to begin with anyway.

At this moment, everyone ignored Ren Xiaosu. When Luo Xinyu went to sit down next to Ren Xiaosu, he pushed her away.

So Luo Xinyu went to sit beside Yang Xiaojin. But Yang Xiaojin and Luo Xinyu's relationship seemed to be only that of an employer and employee. In this moment, Yang Xiaojin no longer cared to put on an act and ate the rat meat, ignoring Luo Xinyu.

She was still holding the handgun but acted as though it had nothing to do with her.

Xu Xianchu looked at the soldier who had kept his food hidden and said, ”Hand the food over. Since we're working together to get through these difficult times, we can't be so selfish. When day breaks, we'll naturally be able to find food. You won't starve to death.”

”Who knows if we'll still be alive tomorrow?” The soldier said, ”Besides, I was not the only person that went to grab provisions. Li Maoxian and Jiang Yang also took some as well. Why should I be the only one to contribute my share of the food?”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he heard the name Li Maoxian. So there were people with such crude names living in the stronghold as well!?

But more importantly, the atmosphere within the group had reached a freezing point. It was surprising that the teammates who had just survived a calamity together would immediately start quarreling over a little bit of food.

Xu Xianchu tactfully advised, ”I'm doing this for the good of the whole team.”

The soldier next to him sneered and said, ”Are you still trying to assert your authority? You have a gun, but so do I!”

After he said that, he tried to pull his gun from his waist, but Xu Xianchu suddenly raised his leg and made his move. He kicked the soldier in his chest and sent him flying several meters.
