Chapter 40 Island Survival 18



Zhang Nan found that the hospital at night was much more interesting than during the day. She could play hide-and-seek with the contestants and help them rest backstage. It was really fun.

They successfully drove away the enemy once or twice, thinking they were heading towards a safe cabin, but little did they know that this was the path to elimination. If they were going in the wrong direction, no matter how hard they tried, they would only sink deeper and deeper. But isn't it more interesting that they deliberately walked into the trap?

How interesting!

Shen Yicheng was also having a blast. These contestants were really bad, with no chance to fight back, and were easily eliminated. But the overwhelming force of the competition made Shen Yicheng's blood boil.

Although Zhang Nan initially told him to wait at the last corner near the safe house while the others launched a surprise attack from the front, he was very dissatisfied.

If those useless guys launch a surprise attack from the front, wouldn't that alert the enemy and waste the opportunity? How could the contestants possibly continue moving forward?

However, Zhang Nan ignored his opinion, which made Shen Yicheng sulk and wait for Zhang Nan's plan to fail so that she would come to him to apologize and ask for help.

A short while later, he heard commotion and running sounds coming from ahead, and Shen Yicheng laughed. These useless fools let their prey escape, and Zhang Nan would eventually have to bow down to him and beg for his help before he would lend a hand.

He imagined all of this as he saw someone running towards him in a panic, glancing back every now and then, as if someone was chasing them.

People actually came to Shen Yicheng on their own initiative, just as Zhang Nan had said. Shen Yicheng didn't want to admit that Zhang Nan was right, muttering "despicable person" under his breath, but he showed no mercy and quickly eliminated these contestants who had finally found the safe house.

These people are really desperate; they come up to me willingly, much faster than if I tried to rob them, reason with them, or negotiate.

The only downside is that, despite still looking down on Zhang Nan, this cunning and ruthless guy, he has to admit that being his teammate would be quite interesting.

They eliminated many teams in succession. Some timid contestants, hearing the frequent elimination announcements over the loudspeaker, sensed something was wrong and simply stopped going to the safe house, instead hiding in various corners of the hospital.

Zhang Nan estimated the number of people. Looking at the road where he could no longer see any people and the buildings without a single ray of light, he figured there were fewer than ten. These guys had still wasted too much of his time.

The others are probably hiding inside the building and not coming out. Looks like I'll have to walk around a lot more, which is really annoying.

Looking at Zhang Nan's hypocritical demeanor, Shen Yicheng realized he really couldn't like Zhang Nan. However, for now, it was just a collaboration, and Zhang Nan was truly heartless.

After Zhang Nan turned around, Shen Yicheng eliminated all the other opportunists who were arguing over the uneven distribution of supplies and props.

With props and serum in their hands, the group looked at Shen Yicheng in disbelief when they heard their names announced over the loudspeaker.

Shen Yicheng grinned mischievously, "Everyone, we're leaving now. You can take your time distributing. Bye-bye~"

Wang Quan sighed, head drooping, following behind with small, hesitant steps. Those two heartless bastards were truly using and discarding their usefulness. These contestants had been hiding perfectly well, but one by one Zhang Nan found them, grabbed their wristbands, and forced them into their scheme—it was blatant threatening.

They're real animals! They destroyed someone's hiding place and infected them, turning them yellow-spotted, yet they're talking about discussing cooperation. Some of them were so agitated that they started cursing when their hiding place was destroyed. Zhang Nan didn't even bother with cooperation and directly told Wang Quan and Shen Yicheng to eliminate them.

Wang Quan felt that he really didn't know his roommate, whom he had shared a dorm room with for almost four years, at all. After successfully enrolling, he had actually dared to shamelessly say that he would protect Zhang Nan after he got in.

I just don't know when Zhang Nan will stop needing him. But Wang Quan has one thing in common: a good attitude and high resilience. They eliminated so many people, and by following Zhang Nan, he'll definitely get a lot of screen time, which should be enough for him to become a minor internet celebrity. He's not greedy.

Wang Quan himself couldn't even outmaneuver Brother Xu, let alone someone as capable and alert as Ivan, who was completely manipulated by Zhang Nan. He was numb and gave up.

"Go to the left, the third ward, the bed closest to the door, and take a close look at the bed frame."

After Zhang Nan finished speaking to Shen Yicheng, he turned to Wang Quan and said, "You stay here and guard him. He'll be out soon. Just like before, you finish him off."

Wang Quan answered listlessly, "Mm."

After Zhang Nan finished speaking, she continued upstairs. Wang Quan watched the scene unfold exactly as Zhang Nan had predicted, and he had no desire to resist at all.

Shen Yicheng came out and asked, "Where is he?"

Wang Quan knew he was asking Zhang Nan, so he said, "Upstairs."

Shen Yicheng took a long stride and went upstairs, with Wang Quan following closely behind him, amidst the curses of the eliminated contestants.

Suddenly, Shen Yicheng, who was walking in front, stopped, and Wang Quan almost bumped into him.

Wang Quan was about to ask why they weren't leaving, but when he met Shen Yicheng's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, he heard the words that made his heart tremble: "We two fake people can't always listen to him, can we?"

Wang Quan struggled, his eyes darting around as he looked at his surroundings. He had a feeling that Zhang Nan might suddenly jump out from that place. "No way." Wang Quan realized that Shen Yicheng was truly brave. Having witnessed so many of Zhang Nan's methods, he still dared to resist.

Wang Quan wanted to admire Zhang Nan, but his fear of her overwhelmed everything. He even suspected that this was all part of Zhang Nan's plan to eliminate him or Shen Yicheng.

Is it a test, or a trap?

Wang Quan, his throat dry and hoarse, expressed his determination, "Zhang Nan is a really good person, truly. There aren't many people left now, we're definitely in the finals, so let's not..."

"Coward."

Shen Yicheng realized that Wang Quan was utterly hopeless, so he turned around and continued upstairs. Honestly, he felt he had mastered Zhang Nan's persuasive techniques perfectly, so why wasn't Wang Quan willing to cooperate? It couldn't be his fault; it could only be that Wang Quan was too cowardly.

From the shadows at the top of the stairs after the corner, a figure suddenly appeared before the two.

After Wang Quan saw the figure's face clearly, all he could hear was the frantic pounding of his heart.

The figure standing at the end of the steps was Zhang Nan.

Shen Yicheng was a little embarrassed, but he wasn't guilty. So what if he was overheard? If he wasn't convinced, he would fight. He didn't think Zhang Nan was stronger than him.

Shen Yicheng was also somewhat excited. He admitted that Zhang Nan was indeed quite intelligent, but his fists couldn't compete with Zhang Nan's intelligence. He was eager to prove to Zhang Nan that in the face of absolute force, everything was just a paper tiger.
