Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder’s Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 3078: A Final Boss Character?

Could she be a final boss character?

Was she being saved for a final climax fight?

Ning Shu released spiritual consciousness and observed the condition of the lawyer’s corpse.

It had rained yesterday, so the ground was muddy now. Messy footprints were scattered everywhere, and there were patches of moss that had been trampled into a mess on the ground.

The lawyer had died from a single slash to the throat. His hands also bore wounds, which were clear signs that he had tried to block the blade.

Ning Shu speculated that the killer must have been someone with considerable strength. He must have pinned the lawyer down while attacking him.

The signs were obvious. The lawyer had frantically kicked his legs where he lay. The heels of his shoes were caked in mud and had left distinct marks on the ground.

The first person who came to Ning Shu’s mind was that hoodlum, who had an azure dragon tattooed on his left hand, and a white tiger on his left. He certainly looked intimidating.

His body was packed with lean muscle, more sculpted than a fitness trainer’s. Tattoos covered his skin. His face was scary, and he was constantly chewing gum.

But of course, there were other men besides the hoodlum who could also be the culprit.

Ning Shu: …

She continued walking. She took unusual paths as she did. Sometimes her path was in an S-shape, sometimes in a B-shape.

Even if someone were trying to direct someone towards her, it wouldn’t be easy for them to find her.

Just when they thought they had her, she might take a sudden turn.

Ning Shu suspected that everyone was being tracked somehow with some kind of positioning device that allowed the game masters to see everyone’s locations.

At this point, she even wondered if she was a real person or just an NPC in some game.

Otherwise, how could the one controlling everything be so cold and indifferent? How could they decide her death in such a way?

Ning Shu limped forward while counting on her fingers.

As far as she knew, three people had already died.

The hiker had been killed by the lawyer. Then, the lawyer was also murdered.

And the housewife had also died.

In the heart of the mountain, she had no idea if others had perished elsewhere, unnoticed and unknown by her.

As she walked, Ning Shu carved marks into the trees.

For the past three days, she had been wandering aimlessly across this island. She changed directions on a whim and moved with no clear objective.

Suddenly, her walkie-talkie, which had been silent for a long time, crackled to life.

“Contestant Number 15.”

An emotionless voice issued a command. “A thousand feet from your location, someone is on the beach attempting to escape. Stop her.

“If this person manages to reach the sea and flee, the game ends, and the ten million offer will be rescinded.”

Ning Shu: “…”

She walked straight ahead while still leaning on a tree branch.

Sure enough, she soon arrived at the beach.

Stepping onto the sand felt wonderfully comfortable. She almost wanted to lie down right then and there.

A person was sitting on the shore, weaving something. Using thick vines, about the width of a thumb, she was attempting to construct a raft strong enough to support her weight.

It was a young woman with tanned skin, who radiated an energetic and youthful aura. She seemed quite young.

Ning Shu walked over and the girl immediately jumped to her feet and guardedly held the vines in front of her.

“Don’t come any closer! Stay back, or… or I won’t be nice to you!”

Ning Shu halted and asked, “Are you sure those vines will float on water?”

“I’m using dried vines,” the girl replied warily while keeping a close eye on Ning Shu. “Are you here to stop me?”

Ning Shu spread her hands and said, “Why would I stop you?

“But have you thought this through? The ocean is vast and boundless. Do you really plan to swim all the way back with the raft? What if you run into a storm?”

The girl wasn’t particularly tall, but she had long limbs. According to the participants’ descriptions, she was the daughter of a fisherman.

She was skilled in swimming, but attempting to swim back… That was a long shot.

Not to mention, the ocean held countless dangers.

Venomous sea snakes. Electric eels. Sharks…

Setting out to sea like this was a near-suicidal gamble.
