"Drifting island?"

Qin Yu stood at the bow of the armored ship, squinting.

In the distance, amidst the mist, there was indeed a dark shadow, like a lurking beast, appearing and disappearing amidst the undulating waves.

"It really is land..."

Yao Xue adjusted her glasses, her voice trembling slightly.

That is the yearning for the land etched in human genes.

After drifting on the sea for two days, with only swaying wooden planks underfoot, the feeling of unease could drive anyone crazy.

Seeing the island now is like a drowning person seeing an oxygen tank.

Don't get too excited yet.

Qin Yu coldly poured cold water on the situation.

"The sudden appearance of an island often signifies two things."

"opportunity."

"And death."

He looked away and silently recited a phrase in his mind.

"system."

Today's lucky draw.

In this perilous world, you need to have a trump card to explore unknown territories.

Yesterday's water cannons were a defensive marvel.

But he's currently lacking an offensive weapon.

That machete is fine for hacking zombies, but if you encounter a large beast, it's no different from using a nail clipper.

**"bite!"**

**"Drawing today's reward..."**

Qin Yu stared at the rapidly spinning wheel in front of him.

It must be a weapon.

It must be a weapon.

The pointer slowly came to a stop.

Finally, the image settled on a chilling dark red.

**"bite!"**

**"Congratulations, host! Your luck has turned around!"**

**"Obtained S-rank individual weapon: [S686·Equalizer (Modified Version)] x1."**

**Bonus: 50 rounds of specially made armor-piercing slug rounds.**

A flash of light.

Qin Yu's hand felt heavier.

A rugged, all-black double-barreled shotgun appeared in his hand.

Shen.

That was my first impression.

It weighs at least 20 pounds.

The barrel was thicker than that of an ordinary shotgun, and it was covered with intricate dark red patterns, exuding a suffocatingly violent aesthetic.

【S686·Equality for All】

[Rank: S]

[Description: Seven paces away, the gun is fast; within seven paces, the gun is both accurate and fast. A violent weapon modified by the system, loaded with specially made slugs, its close-range burst power is comparable to a small hand cannon. One shot, and no matter if you're human or ghost, all are equal.]

"nice one."

Qin Yu touched the cold gun barrel, a sinister smile spreading across his face.

This thing.

It's very powerful.

Although it only has a capacity of two bullets, in this kind of close-quarters combat, two bullets are enough to blast any carbon-based life form into dust.

"Click."

Qin Yu skillfully folded open the gun barrel and inserted two red slugs, each about the thickness of a finger.

Close up.

Loading.

The crisp sound of metal clashing is simply heavenly to the ears.

"Brother Qin Yu, what are you holding in your hand...?"

Yao Qian was about to come closer when she was startled by the dark muzzle of the gun and shrank back.

"Troll?"

"That's so cool!"

Although the girl was scared, she couldn't hide the sparkle in her eyes.

"For self-defense."

Qin Yu slung the gun over his shoulder, instantly exuding the aura of a bandit leader.

"Adjust course."

"Target: the island to the southeast."

"Full speed ahead!"

……

Five nautical miles is not a long distance.

The raft, reinforced with sheet metal, was a bit heavier to paddle, but it had great inertia and was quite fast once it started moving.

Half an hour later.

The full view of the "drifting island" was finally revealed to the three of them.

The island is not big.

It looks to be about the size of two football fields.

There were no high mountains above, only some messy bushes and a few crooked trees.

It was surrounded by a ring of black reefs, with waves crashing against them, creating white foam several meters high.

"stop!"

When they were fifty meters away from the island, Qin Yu suddenly raised his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Yao Xue was paddling hard, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

"The water is too shallow."

"It's full of hidden reefs."

Qin Yu pointed underwater.

Through the clear seawater, you can see that the sharp reefs below look like inverted daggers.

This terrain is impassable for rafts.

If you try to force your way through, the bottom of the boat will definitely be ripped apart.

Although it's covered with sheet metal, there's no need to take that risk.

"What should we do then?"

Yao Qian looked distressed.

"Just standing here looking? I can already smell the earth..."

"I'll swim there."

Qin Yu slung the hunting rifle over his back and tightened it with a leather belt.

He then checked the machete at his waist and the dagger on his leg.

"You stay on the ship."

"Drop the anchor and get away from the reef."

"If anything gets close, whatever it is, bombard it with water cannons."

"But……"

Yao Xue looked at the bottomless seawater, her eyes filled with worry.

"Is it dangerous in the water?"

"It's daytime now."

Qin Yu glanced at the sun overhead.

"The rules state that marine life is less aggressive during the day."

"And in such shallow water, sharks can't get in."

"rest assured."

"As long as I don't do anything reckless, no one in this sea can take my life."

Done.

Qin Yu didn't waste any more words.

With a "plop".

He dived into the water like a fish.

The seawater was slightly cool.

But for Qin Yu right now, this temperature is just right.

His physical abilities have been systematically enhanced, far surpassing those of ordinary people.

Arms paddling.

Carrying a 20-pound weapon, he was still as fast as a swordfish.

Fifty meters is a distance that can be covered in the blink of an eye.

Qin Yu gripped a moss-covered rock with both hands.

Push it up with all your might.

He leaped out of the water and landed steadily on the shore.

The ground beneath my feet was damp gravel.

That solid, anti-lightning sensation shot straight up from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Comfortable.

so comfy.

The feeling of stepping on land is completely different from stepping on a raft.

Qin Yu took a deep breath.

The air was filled with the smells of rotting leaves, soil, and the sea.

It doesn't smell good.

But it gives people a strange sense of peace.

He took the hunting rifle off his back and shook off the water.

S-class weapons have excellent waterproofing, so there's no need to worry about them misfiring.

"Click".

Open the insurance.

Qin Yu did not rush inside.

Instead, he squatted on the beach, carefully observing his surroundings.

Quiet.

It's too quiet.

Apart from the sound of the waves, the entire island was deathly silent.

There were no birdsong, no insect chirping.

This is not normal.

Since it's an ecological island, there should be some living things.

unless……

There is a predator at the top of the food chain that has either eaten all the other living creatures or scared them away.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.

His gaze fell on the sandy ground ahead.

There was a row of messy footprints there.

Very deep.

It is shaped like a plum blossom, but has two deep holes in the front.

Hoof prints.

And it's a big one.

"Wild boar?"

The word popped into Qin Yu's mind.

But the footprint was bigger than a washbasin.

If it were a wild boar, it would have to be the size of a tank.

"That's interesting."

Qin Yu licked his lips, his wariness deepening.

He crouched low and slowly crept into the bushes, following the direction of the footprints.

The bushes are very dense.

Thorny vines clung to the clothes, making a rustling sound.

Qin Yu walked very slowly.

With each step, stop and listen to what is happening.

It took about five or six minutes to walk.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

It is a small earthen mound.

Below the earthen slope is a natural depression.

And right in the center of that depression.

There was a box there.

A metal box, entirely silver-white, emanating a faint chill.

That luster.

That texture.

This is a whole level higher than the previous B-grade boxes!

On the side of the box, there is a large letter engraved.

[A]

Grade A treasure chest!

Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat.

His breathing became rapid instantly.

Grade A!

S-grade is a divine artifact, while A-grade is top-tier equipment!

This trip was worthwhile!

But then...

He forcefully suppressed that greed.

His gaze shifted from the box to the side next to it.

Right in the shadow of that silver treasure chest.

Lying there... a mountain of flesh.

Yes, a mountain of flesh.

It was a wild boar with completely black fur.

It is at least four meters long.

The mane on its back stood up like steel needles.

Its most terrifying feature is its fangs.

Two curved fangs, each a meter long, with a withered yellow color, and dried dark red bloodstains still clinging to their tips.

It was lying there, dozing off.

The huge nostrils opened and closed.

The blast of air kicked up dust from the ground.

With each breath, I could hear a booming sound from my chest, like a bellows.

[Mutant Steel-Bristled Boar (Elite Monster)]

[Description: The overlord of this island. Its hide is thick and tough, impenetrable to ordinary swords and blades. It has an extremely volatile temper and a very strong sense of territory. Its fangs can easily pierce through iron.]

"As expected, there's a guardian monster."

Qin Yu hid behind the bushes, his grip on the hunting rifle tightening.

This is the system's routine.

High risk, high reward.

If you want to get the A-grade box, you have to get past this hurdle first.

Qin Yu was calculating rapidly in his mind.

This wild boar has thick skin.

Even if you have an S-class shotgun, if you hit a thick part of its flesh, it will probably only cause a superficial wound.

This thing has an extremely strong vitality.

If it doesn't kill in one hit, it will go berserk and charge at you.

In this narrow depression, I would definitely be smashed into a pulp.

We must exploit their weaknesses.

eye.

Or it could be the cartilage behind the ear.

Qin Yu held his breath.

Slowly, he poked the gun barrel out from a gap in the bushes.

The distance is about thirty meters.

At this distance, the slug has the greatest power and the highest accuracy.

He aimed at the wild boar's closed eye.

Fingers on the trigger.

Apply force slowly.

Just then.

A sea breeze suddenly blew by.

The wind direction has changed.

The wild boar, which was lying on the ground sleeping, suddenly twitched its two large, fan-like ears.

The huge pig's snout twitched twice.

I can smell it.

The smell of a stranger.

"Hmph—!!!"

A thunderous roar.

The wild boar suddenly opened its eyes.

Those were blood-red eyes, filled with savagery and murderous intent.

It bounced up from the ground almost instantly.

Without any hesitation.

All four hooves push off the ground.

Like a runaway train, it crashed headlong into the direction where Qin Yu was hiding!

"Grass!"

"What a keen nose!"

Now that it's been exposed, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Qin Yu suddenly stood up.

At this moment, the wild boar was less than 20 meters away from him.

The terrifying sense of oppression was palpable; you could even smell the stench emanating from its mouth.

Come on!

"Try Grandpa's precious treasure!"

Qin Yu stood with one foot in front of the other, leaning his body slightly forward to counteract the recoil.

The butt of the rifle was pressed firmly against his shoulder.

calm.

Absolute calm.

The wild boar's menacing tusks were about to charge at them.

Fifteen meters.

ten meters.

Five meters!

It's now!

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes.

Pull the trigger.

"boom!!!"

A loud bang.

Like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

A dazzling tongue of fire shot out from the muzzle of the gun.

The immense recoil made Qin Yu's shoulder ache, and he staggered back half a step.

The specially designed armor-piercing slug spins, tearing through the air.

Such a close distance.

There's no need to aim at all.

"Pfft!"

The bullet struck the wild boar precisely in the forehead.

Even the hardest skull is as brittle as paper in the face of an S-class weapon.

Blood splattered.

The immense kinetic energy abruptly halted the wild boar's charge.

The massive body suddenly stopped, and its head tilted back.

"Awooo—!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky.

Half of the pig's head was blown to pieces.

But it didn't die!

This mutated creature's vitality is simply outrageous.

Even with its brains almost spilling out, it continued to frantically shake its head, its only remaining eye filled with madness.

It lowered its head again.

They wanted to make a final, desperate attempt.

"Not dead?"

"Let's do it again!"

Qin Yu gave it no chance to catch its breath.

The gun muzzle was pressed down.

Pull the trigger again.

"boom!!!"

A second shot rang out.

This shot.

It blasted directly into its blasted wound.

Detonate from the inside.

"Bang!"

The entire pig's head exploded completely.

Red and white sprayed all over the ground.

Its enormous body swayed twice.

It was like pushing down a mountain of gold and toppling a jade pillar.

With a loud "boom".

It crashed heavily to the ground.

A cloud of dust rose up.

The four thick pig legs twitched a few times, then remained completely still.

"call……"

Qin Yu exhaled a breath of stale air.

I rubbed my numb shoulders.

"It's fucking hard."

If it weren't for this gun...

With just that knife, I'd probably be done for today.

He walked over and kicked the motionless pig carcass.

[Obtained: 1 complete mutated wild boar carcass]

[Description: Every part of it is valuable. The pork is edible, the skin can be used to make armor, and the tusks can be used to make weapons.]

"receive!"

Qin Yu waved his hand.

The huge wild boar carcass vanished instantly and entered the system inventory.

We're having meat tonight.

And it's real pork.

It's not the kind of shark meat that smells like urine.

After dealing with the guards.

Qin Yu's gaze finally fell on the silver-white box.

This is the real meal.

He walked over and placed his hand on the cold box.

A slightly cool sensation came from my fingertips.

No nonsense.

Store it directly in your inventory.

Don't stay here for long.

The gunshots were too loud, and the smell of blood was too strong.

If we attract the big creatures from the sea, the way back will be difficult.

Qin Yu turned and ran.

We burst out of the bushes and reached the seaside.

On the distant sea.

The tin raft is still floating there.

Two small figures were leaning on the railing, anxiously looking around.

The gunshots just now clearly terrified them.

"Qin Yu!"

They saw Qin Yu appear.

Yao Xue waved her arms, her voice trembling with tears.

Qin Yu remained silent.

He raised the hunting rifle in his hand and waved it.

Then he plunged into the sea.

The return trip was faster than the journey there.

When Qin Yu grabbed the ladder and climbed onto the deck.

Yao Qian pounced on her.

"Waaaaah...you scared me to death!"

"I heard a really loud bang, I thought you'd blown up..."

The little girl clung tightly to Qin Yu's waist, snot and tears all over him.

Yao Xue also came over.

Although she didn't speak, her red eyes betrayed her.

She reached out and wiped the seawater off Qin Yu's face.

My fingers are a little cold.

"Are you alright?"

"Are you injured?"

She looked Qin Yu up and down, as if afraid he was missing a piece of flesh.

"fine."

Qin Yu patted Yao Qian's head and pulled the octopus off.

"It's just a bit dirty."

He put the shotgun aside.

"Walk."

"Extra food tonight."

A mysterious smile appeared on Qin Yu's face.

"What do you want to eat?"

Yao Qian sniffed.

"Is it going to be shark meat again?"

"No."

Qin Yu shook his head.

"We're having braised pork tonight."

"Open the box."

"Let me show you what Grade A stuff really is."

Subsequently

What did Qin Yu think of?
