Xu An looked at the group of people who stepped forward to speak for Su Xiao and Luoluo, feeling they were utterly foolish.
Some people were simply destined to die!
Zhou Haimei was so angry she felt like rolling up her sleeves and delivering a hammer blow to the few people who wanted to play the hero.
Xu An pulled her back at a crucial moment, "Calm down, it's not our turn to intervene."
As expected, the moment Xu An finished speaking, the man who had just stepped forward to accuse Su Xiao and Luoluo stood out. His eyes were fierce, as if he wanted to kill the two men who had spoken with his gaze.
"If you want to die, go save them yourself. If you don't want to die, shut your mouth."
The man saw that the person opposite him clearly dared not speak anymore, after all, no one was afraid of death.
If a group of people went to save Su Xiao and Luoluo, these two could have muddled through. But if they had to save people themselves, looking at the continuously attacking silver wolves that relentlessly bit at Su Xiao, they felt fear in their hearts.
Without anyone knowing, this competition had been broadcast live from start to finish.
This was something even Xu An hadn't discovered.
When everyone participated in this competition, no one thought it would actually turn into an entertainment broadcast, as it was a true life-and-death struggle.
But while everyone was fighting the silver wolves with their lives, outside the arena, countless people were watching with indifference.
They didn't think that these participants were fighting for humanity. Instead, they treated this life-and-death struggle as a joke.
People outside the screen laughed at the people on the screen.
As if this disaster had nothing to do with them.
Su Xiao, seeing no way to escape, felt both annoyed and anxious.
"Luoluo, this isn't working. We need to lure these wolves away. With just the two of us, we can't kill all of them." Su Xiao resisted the silver wolves' attacks, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at the people around them who were only watching the commotion without anyone willing to help them. She deeply imprinted the faces of those people in her mind.
Luoluo was already exhausted by the wolves, lacking the strength to even curse.
Although the wolves couldn't harm them, they were relentless.
They could also drag the two of them to their deaths.
"Okay, I'll hold them off here. You go figure something out."
Although Luoluo was overbearing, she had absolute trust in Su Xiao.
If you told her that her parents might betray her, she would smile and say it didn't matter. But if you said Su Xiao would betray her, she would tell you with disdain that it was impossible.
This trust was not without reason; it was built upon the countless life-and-death experiences they had shared, accumulating默契 and trust.
However, Luoluo clearly didn't see the fleeting gloom in Su Xiao's eyes.
Just as human nature cannot withstand trials, so too cannot friendship.
As Luoluo took on all the pressure from Su Xiao's side, Su Xiao's first action upon escaping was to flee towards a less dense area of wolves.
With Su Xiao's departure, Luoluo faced the wolf pack alone and found it increasingly difficult. If she could still remain unharmed before,
the sudden increase in pressure caused Luoluo to start sustaining injuries, both large and small.
Before long, Luoluo began to feel the strain and was starting to falter.
She wanted to turn back to find Su Xiao. She was in so much pain she couldn't speak, but her eyes were still searching for Su Xiao.
She wanted to ask Su Xiao what method she had to deal with these wolves, and if she could hurry, as she was close to collapsing.
But there was no one.
At this moment, Luoluo felt fear for the first time in her 25 years of life.
"Su Xiao! Su Xiao, where are you, Su Xiao!"
But no matter how much Luoluo shouted, Su Xiao did not answer her.
Distracted, she could no longer withstand the attacks of so many wolves.
Her wounds increased, and her blood flowed more profusely.
The crowd stood by watching this farce.
Not only the thousands of people present but also the tens of thousands of people outside the arena, within the Lighthouse, were watching this farce.
Zhou Haimei leaned closer to Xu An and whispered her complaints.
"Even though I really dislike these two women, that long-haired woman is truly ruthless. You can tell that the short-haired girl trusts her completely, and she actually used her companion as a target to seize an opportunity to escape."
After Zhou Haimei spoke, she sighed, unsure whether she was lamenting the other person's comeuppance or pitying them.
Xu An showed no expression. She felt something was wrong. Did Su Xiao just want to escape so easily?
There must be something she had overlooked.
As if to confirm Xu An's suspicion.
Luoluo was bitten on the shoulder by a silver wolf, which tore a piece of flesh from her left shoulder.
Luoluo instantly lost consciousness, as if her entire body had been stunned by a blow.
She even forgot to cry out in pain.
Luoluo sweated profusely from the pain, as if enduring immense suffering. She instinctively reached for her pocket.
Although she didn't quite understand where Su Xiao had gone, she instinctively didn't believe Su Xiao had betrayed her.
She felt that Su Xiao must have had a reason, and all she had to do was hold on until Su Xiao returned.
But when she reached into her pocket, she went completely numb. Her face instantly turned ashen, as if possessed by something.
She froze in place.
The silver wolves were already in a frenzy. They would not let Luoluo go easily just because she was momentarily distracted.
Of course, they would strike when she was weak.
The moment Su Xiao's carotid artery was bitten through by a silver wolf, she never waited for Su Xiao to save her.
Perhaps when she reached into her pocket, she had already understood Su Xiao's betrayal.
What was in the hidden pocket was none other than the split crystal core they had obtained.
They had once agreed that if they encountered danger, they would use this half of the crystal core to stimulate their abilities and save their lives.
In other words, that half of the crystal core was their only means of survival.
But now the crystal core in her pocket was gone.
The clothes Luoluo wore were specially made, and it was impossible for anything to fall out of this hidden pocket.
Unless someone had reached in and stolen the crystal core.
But it was also difficult to tamper with her personal clothing.
And besides Luoluo, there was one other person who knew the location of the hidden pocket, and that was Su Xiao.
Now that the crystal core was missing, no one other than Su Xiao could have taken it.
But it no longer mattered.
Because Luoluo was about to die.
Perhaps in her final moments, she still couldn't understand how Su Xiao, who had shared life and death with her, who had been willing to sacrifice herself for her so many times, could betray her.
