As night approached, Ji Lin, An Xin, and the others went to the woods outside the shelter and cut a lot of large leaves. The leaves of tropical rainforest plants are very large; the small leaves are as long as an arm, and the large leaves are as long as 1.7 or 1.8 meters. The group took a lot of leaves and spread them on the wet mud floor inside the shelter, which will be our bed for tonight.
After a peaceful night, we ate breakfast the next morning and used our keen eyes and keen ears to confirm that no one was nearby before heading to the zombie forest together.
We split into two groups. One group consisted of the armed members who attacked zombies to accumulate points. After each member killed more than twenty zombies, they gave their guns to the members without guns. In this way, each of us accumulated 20,000 points. When we reached 20,000 points, the system notified us that we had reached the daily limit.
Wu Feng and Dai Qiang each exchanged for a gun, while those of us with guns stored our points for emergencies.
On the second and third days, we continued to accumulate points. On the fifth day, after we all reached the kill limit, Ji Lin'an and I, along with a few others who had guns, had accumulated 100,000 points. It was at this moment that the system suddenly notified us.
"Master, Master, the Future Island interface has been updated with new content. Please go and check it out."
As we walked back, we checked our phones for updates. A new icon appeared on the Future Island interface: Leaderboard.

After seeing the rankings, I was shocked and turned to look at Ji Lin'an. The rankings had undoubtedly exposed him completely. I glanced at everyone; their expressions were different, but they all looked at Ji Lin'an. Wu Feng spoke first: "Old Ji, you really are a hidden talent. Where did you get so many skills?"
Ji Lin'an smiled faintly: "Let's go back to the shelter first, and I'll explain to you slowly."
Everyone could only follow Ji Lin'an and speed up. I turned to look at everyone and tried to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile, "I thought we were still running from the poison gas, but we're almost at the final circle. Half of us are on the leaderboard, that's pretty impressive."
Li Song said, "Dai Qiang and I are incredibly lucky. Half of the people have died in just a few days. We must stick close to our big brothers and hope they won't look down on us."
Dai Qiang nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, brothers, please don't abandon us. We will work hard to improve ourselves."
Wu Feng and Wei Bin remained silent. Chen Hu stepped forward and said, "Old Ji, if I hadn't looked at the rankings, I would have forgotten. Do you have a copying skill, which is why you have so many skills?"
Ji Lin'an nodded without saying anything more, and Chen Hu didn't ask any more questions. The group returned to the shelter, and Ji Lin'an stood in front of everyone and said, "I have a copying skill. I can copy the skills of almost anyone I've come into contact with. You've all seen me use many skills before, and these are basically copied from you. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that some people might have malicious intentions, and my life would be in danger. But now everyone on the zombie island knows."
Wu Feng looked up at Ji Lin'an and said, "I saw Kaka on the leaderboard. She must know you have the copying skill. She definitely couldn't have gone that far by herself. She probably had someone on the leaderboard helping her."
I nodded: "Yes, Zhu Chen is also a proud and arrogant person. He is not low on the ranking. When we saw him that day, there was a man next to him who was giving orders. If I'm not mistaken, that man was either Zhang Ziqing or Yuan Rui. He would only be willing to submit to someone stronger than him."
Qianliyan frowned: "So that means the rankings are divided into three groups: Zhu Chen's people, Kaka's people, and us. It's practically a three-way standoff."
Ji Lin'an said, "I observed the man with Zhu Chen that day. He had calluses on his right index finger, like someone who uses a gun for a long time. He must be someone on the ranking list, and his strength should not be underestimated."
Wei Bin stood up and said, "If that's the case, we need to speed up our efforts to kill more lucky ones. Apart from us and the people on the leaderboard, there are only thirty people left. We currently have a numerical advantage. Now that everyone can see the leaderboard, there must be quite a few people who want to seek protection in order to save their lives."
Wu Feng suddenly snorted coldly: "What's there to protect? Look, now that the rankings are out, everyone can clearly see the strength of the other side. In the end, only three people will survive. People like us who have no ability will die sooner or later."
The scene fell into a deathly silence. Li Song and Dai Qiang lowered their heads, their expressions unreadable, while An Xin and Wei Bin remained calm, and Qianliyan frowned deeply.
I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. I seemed to be able to understand Wufeng's feelings, especially after seeing the leaderboard. This game is ultimately an individual battle. No matter how perfect our team is, perfect enough to defeat all other teams, only three people can survive in the end. We will always have to face fighting each other.
Seeing the uncertain expressions on everyone's faces, I subconsciously took Ji Lin'an's hand. Ji Lin'an gently squeezed my hand in response, forcing a smile as he said, "There are still more than two months left. Maybe the rules of the game will change during that time? Don't be discouraged, everyone. Live in the moment. I will do my best to protect everyone. Maybe we can all survive if the rules of the game change."
Everyone looked up at Ji Lin'an, but no one responded. Ji Lin'an was a little embarrassed. I pulled him to sit on a leaf next to me and mouthed: Never mind.
Once the leaderboard is released, the top ten will undoubtedly become the target of everyone's criticism. With just over two months left in the competition, only half of the participants remain. The strength of those who stay should not be underestimated. However, at this pace, the competition may end in less than a month. The progress will be even faster after the leaderboard is released. I really can't understand the purpose of this leaderboard.
