Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Coming to Pick a Fight, Huh?
Upon hearing the accusatory tone of the voice, Lu Sheng raised her eyes and saw Xu Xinya standing with a group of people not far from the camp, looking in their direction.
It wasn’t Xu Xinya with just her usual cronies—this ti, it was everyone gathering together.
It seed that everyone had already tacitly accepted Xu Xinya, the 6-star mber, as the leader of the island. Whatever she instructed, they followed. If she ca, they all ca along.
Lu Sheng frowned instinctively, puzzled about what trouble these people were bringing now.
But in the very next mont, Xu Xinya marched over aggressively with her group.
When they saw the oily, aromatic roasted wild rabbit, the appealing curried beef, and tomato egg soup on Lu Sheng’s group’s table, everyone widened their eyes in shock.
Were these really what Lu Sheng’s group was eating?
This was way too extravagant!
The food looked absolutely delicious!
Since arriving on the island, everyone had been surviving on basic instant als—either dry and hard compressed biscuits or painfully salty canned at.
Only Xu Xinya had those high-end cooking packs for making proper dishes, but even then, only the few people who shalessly flattered her could get a small taste. The rest had to make do with whatever food they got.
So when they saw the food on the table, many couldn’t help but swallow hard.
But then they started to wonder—where did Lu Sheng’s group get all this food?
Yesterday, they didn’t seem to have gotten much food at all.
Standing at the front, Xu Xinya first glanced at the table and then asked incredulously, “…Lu Sheng, where did all this food co from?”
“I rember very clearly that in the package your group of five received yesterday, there were only a few packs of instant noodles, a few cans of luncheon at, and so rice. There was absolutely none of the food you have on your table now.”
“Where did you get it from? Don’t tell you stole it from others!”
Lan Yu’s stomach had already been growling in hunger, and she was just about to finally enjoy her al when soone ca to stir up trouble.
She rolled her eyes, exasperated: “Xu Xinya, do you seriously have nothing better to do than co looking for trouble with us?”
“If we stole anyone’s things, why don’t you all just check if anything’s missing?”
“Besides, did anyone see cooking packs like curried beef or tomato egg soup when the packages were handed out yesterday?”
Indeed, no one had.
With just one sentence, Lan Yu dismissed Xu Xinya’s accusations.
But if they didn’t steal from others, then where did all this food co from?
“If it wasn’t stolen, then where did all this co from?” Xu Xinya’s tone remained aggressive.
“I, as the leader, was worried that your group wouldn’t have enough to eat, and I specifically brought people over to share so biscuits with you and discuss the map search plan together.”
“But as soon as I arrive, I see you eating better than everyone else here. What a waste of my concern.”
“Since you claim it wasn’t stolen, then explain where it ca from—don’t tell you used so… inappropriate ans to get it?”
Lu Youye, being hot-tempered, couldn’t hold himself back anymore upon hearing this and snapped at Xu Xinya: “Who do you think you are that we need to report how we got our food to you? You think you’re in charge here?”
Soone from Xu Xinya’s group imdiately stepped up to defend her: “Watch your mouth! If your group has mysterious food, why can’t Xinya ask about it?”
“You’re Lu Youye, right? Heard you didn’t even make it into the top 30—you barely scored over 600 in the college entrance exam.”
“And here you are calling Xinya ‘sothing.’ You’re just soone who relied on family connections to join the show, what right do you have to talk? Our Xinya is a 6-star mber of K.A., miles ahead of you!”
These remarks were undeniably cutting.
And among the people present, everyone except Lu Youye had scored at least 680 on their exams.
Violence couldn’t solve the problem, so Lu Sheng held back her urge to slap soone.
She took a deep breath, exhaled, and coldly raised her eyes: “…Scoring just above 600 doesn’t grant speaking rights, while a perfect score does, is that it?”
“The rabbit on our table was hunted by last night, and the cooking packs—the curried beef and tomato egg soup—were brought to during an encounter with a brown bear in the forest last night.”
“I’ve explained the food’s origins. We don’t need your pity biscuits, nor do we plan to cooperate with you on the map search. You can leave now.”
After Lu Sheng’s words, the people opposite exchanged stunned glances.
Xu Xinya snorted derisively, as though she’d just heard a joke: “…Lu Sheng, do you take us all for fools?”
“Let’s forget for a mont that you didn’t even have any hunting tools—how did you even manage to hunt?”
“And about the brown bear.”
“Do you know how massive and dangerous a wild brown bear is? If one saw you, it could bite half your body off in one go!”
“But you’re telling you t a brown bear in the forest, and not only did it not attack you, it gave you food instead?”
“What, did you save its life before and it ca to repay you? Do you even believe what you’re saying? If you’re going to make up a story, at least make it convincing!”
With no surveillance caras near the camp, Xu Xinya had no qualms about being audacious, and the others didn’t hold back either.
After all, they outnumbered Lu Sheng’s group here.
If Lu Sheng’s group really had used so unscrupulous way to get food, then everybody else deserved a share too!
Lu Sheng felt her patience wearing thin.
“You asked about its origin. I’ve explained. What I said is the truth—whether you believe it or not, that’s your choice.”
Her tone was ice-cold, “I’ll say it again. You can leave now. If you don’t, don’t bla for what happens next.”
The crowd didn’t take her words seriously, thinking Lu Sheng was just bluffing.
After all, while there weren’t caras around the camp here, the island was covered extensively. They didn’t believe Lu Sheng would dare to physically assault them—was she not afraid of public backlash and online wrath?
But at that mont, unnoticed, one of the young n from Xu Xinya’s group had slipped away to Lu Sheng’s stockpile of supplies from last night.
Suddenly, with the sound of fabric being yanked—
The cloth covering their supplies was pulled away in one motion, revealing a small mountain of supplies for all to see.
