Watching Li Yu devour raw meat, the way he chewed it made those around him unable to suppress their inner turmoil.
A scavenger's mouth watered as he watched, and he stuffed a handful of grass roots into his mouth and chewed them vigorously, trying to distract himself.
The commotion of Li Yu enjoying her meal quickly attracted the attention of many scavengers nearby.
The small team of only two people made everyone eager to try.
A large, hairy man greedily scanned the package beside Li Yu, then licked his chapped lips and said menacingly to his timid henchman:
"Go and snatch that bag of meat from me."
"Me?" Upon hearing this, the younger brother's face turned deathly pale, and he was on the verge of tears.
The hairy man showed no mercy and kicked a worn-out knife to his feet.
I know what a man is capable of; if he doesn't go, this knife will be slashed on his head.
Trembling, the underling picked up the rusty, broken knife from the ground, gritted his teeth, and walked step by step toward Li Yu.
Seeing that someone had finally gone to test the waters, everyone was paying close attention to the situation.
Whether these two individuals' teams are truly capable or just paper tigers, a test will reveal all.
Li Yu quickly noticed the other person approaching. Judging from the other person's thin build, he was just an ordinary scavenger, so he didn't rush to make a move.
It wasn't until the henchman walked up to them with a knife that Fu Xiyao noticed someone approaching. She quickly picked up the dagger and looked at the other person warily, but since Li Yu was right beside her, she wasn't afraid.
When they were only a few meters apart, Li Yu finally spoke.
"stop."
The younger brother stopped abruptly, not expecting Li Yu to speak up and stop him at this distance.
"Brother, I'm so hungry. You can't finish that bag of meat anyway, could you share some with me?"
As he spoke, the younger brother's face was full of fawning smiles, and at the same time, he unconsciously took a small step forward.
Li Yu couldn't help but laugh. If begging could lead to survival, then no one in this world would starve to death.
"You've got the wrong idea. I don't have any meat here." Li Yu refused without hesitation and aimed her bow and arrow at the other person.
Although Li Yu's physical condition and reaction ability have been significantly improved due to the enhancement of his superpower, he does not dare to be complacent, after all, it is not uncommon for him to capsize in the gutter.
This distance was already very dangerous, but because he was alone, Li Yu wanted to see what the other person was up to, so he let him successfully cross over.
If there were more people, Li Yu wouldn't even give anyone a chance to get close.
"I saw it all, please have mercy and give me some." The young man kept repeating this, while quietly taking another step forward.
"Get out!" Li Yu said coldly.
Seeing that he could no longer get any closer, the younger brother suddenly changed his tone and said in a low voice, "No, I'll leave now."
As he spoke, the younger brother seemed about to turn and leave.
Suddenly, the younger brother exerted force with his feet, took a big step forward, and slashed at Li Yu with the knife in his hand.
At this moment, the distance between the two was at most five meters. Such a close distance made the underling think that he was absolutely confident that he could cut down Li Yu.
However, Li Yu had already aimed his bow and arrow at him, and even the aiming circle in front of him had been shrunk to its smallest size.
Li Yu hadn't expected that the other party would actually dare to attack them with just a knife.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow flew from Li Yu's hand and pierced his younger brother's heart with perfect accuracy.
The younger brother immediately collapsed in front of Li Yu and died instantly.
The onlookers were all taken aback by what they saw.
"So accurate?"
"Isn't he afraid of missing his shot and being killed instead?"
"Didn't you see it went straight through the heart? They must have been very confident to let the enemy get close."
"Although I can't tell he has any special abilities, he's definitely a sharpshooter."
The people around were talking amongst themselves. Although they couldn't tell whether Li Yu was an Awakened or not, his archery skills alone were enough to instill fear in the scavengers.
In the eyes of these wandering vagrants, the Awakened Ones could use their supernatural abilities to easily kill them, these scavengers.
People like Li Yu, who possess long-range lethal weapons, can easily take the lives of ordinary scavengers.
Whether it's a powerful Awakened One or a master like Li Yu, there's no real difference between them; neither are people that these weak scavengers can easily provoke.
The group of scavengers wearing plastic armor in the distance were not far away and naturally witnessed everything that was happening here.
A young man wearing a plastic armor was sitting there eating meat, but the meat was black, and it was unclear why.
The young man's eyes lit up when he saw the arrow Li Yu had shot. He then turned to the woman beside him, who was also holding a bow and arrow, and asked:
"If you were in that situation, could you have done the same?"
The woman carefully examined the bow in Li Yu's hand, mentally simulated the distance at that moment, and finally shook her head, replying, "I'm only 70% sure."
"Since you've said so, this person seems to be a truly exceptional fighter." The young man's gaze towards Li Yu held a hint of something indescribable.
Li Yu stepped forward, pulled the blood-stained arrow from his underling's chest, washed it clean in the cold rain, and put it away. Then, as if nothing had happened, he turned around and sat back down, not even glancing at the corpse again.
