"Miss Su, Zhiyun!"

"You two are in charge of looking for supplies on the water. Let me know if you see anything."

Sitting behind the mother and daughter, Qin Xuan used the waves to propel them forward, using the oar only to steer.

"Okay!"

"Senior Qin, thank you for all your hard work..."

Su Zhiyun turned her head, casting a grateful glance at Qin Xuan, who was steering from behind them.

Thank goodness Qin Xuan was here. Otherwise, with just their strength, the mother and daughter would have been left to drift aimlessly at the mercy of the waves.

Suddenly, Su Zhiyun, who was looking past Qin Xuan, had a flash of joy in her eyes. She pointed behind them and cried out urgently, "Someone's there! There are people behind you, Qin Xuan! This is great!"

*Thump!*

Hearing this, Qin Xuan and Su Qing looked back almost reflexively.

But unlike Su Zhiyun's excitement, their faces showed a hint of worry.

This was especially true for Su Qing. As a woman who had started her own business, she had seen the worst of human nature over the years to get to where she was today.

She knew all too well that in a time like this, without law and order, the evil in human nature would be infinitely amplified.

"Little Xuan!"

"Things are different now. People will do anything to survive. You have to be careful. Don't just trust what they say!"

Seeing the three men behind them paddling with their hands and oars, closing in, Su Qing, worried that Qin Xuan was too naive, whispered a reminder.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Hearing Su Qing's warning, Qin Xuan felt a sense of reassurance.

As long as Su Qing wasn't some brainless saint who would drag him down, and could even offer some advice, the pressure on him would naturally be much less.

"Little brat!"

"Leave one of those women for us. Otherwise, don't blame us for what happens next."

When they were less than two or three meters from Qin Xuan's raft, close enough to leap across in a single bound, Zhang Chao stood up, pointed his oar at Qin Xuan, and shouted viciously.

Seeing the stunning beauty of Su Qing and Su Zhiyun up close, the three men nearly started drooling.

Both women were tall, over 1.7 meters. The older one was alluring and enchanting, the younger one pure and adorable. Both had graceful, curvaceous figures and were absolute goddesses.

How could they possibly settle for just one? They just didn't know what Qin Xuan was capable of, so they wanted to test his nerve first.

"Mom!"

Seeing that these three burly men actually wanted to take her and her mother by force, Su Zhiyun had never encountered such a situation. Terrified by their ferocious expressions, she grabbed her mother's arm and instinctively took a step back behind her.

"Don't be afraid. Qin Xuan is here. He's a man; he'll protect us."

Su Qing comforted her pale-faced daughter in a low voice, just loud enough for Qin Xuan to hear.

Having been a corporate executive for many years, she knew this was the time to encourage Qin Xuan, to boost his morale and awaken his masculine pride.

Otherwise, if she and her daughter fell into their hands, she knew better than anyone what the consequences would be.

"Fuck off!"

"They're my women! What makes you think I'd give them to you? One more word of bullshit, and I'll fucking kill you!"

Hearing Su Qing's words, Qin Xuan, who had been feeling a bit timid, suddenly felt a surge of adrenaline. He pointed his oar at the three menacing men and roared back, not showing a hint of weakness.

He looked ready to fight at any moment.

He knew he couldn't back down an inch. If he showed the slightest fear, these three would leap over and tear him apart.

Seeing how fierce Qin Xuan was, even though the three men were drooling three feet over the mother and daughter, their lifelong cowardice made them hesitate, despite their absolute three-to-one advantage.

"Fuck!"

"Like hell I'm scared!"

Seeing Qin Xuan's raft slowly drifting away, Gu Laomao's eyes were fixed on Su Qing standing beside him. Her black silk business suit perfectly showcased her magnificent figure.

Her jet-black hair fell in gentle waves, and her enchanting eyes seemed to ripple like water, exuding the alluring charm of a mature woman.

Gu Laomao felt his blood boil. With a roar, he gathered his strength, pushed off, and leaped toward Qin Xuan's raft.

In a survival game like this, where you didn't even know if you'd live to see tomorrow, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he let such a beautiful woman slip away.

"Ah...!"

Gu Laomao charged forward and landed heavily on the raft, which instantly lost its balance.

Both Su Qing and Su Zhiyun tumbled backward and fell into the sea.

"Fuck you!"

Qin Xuan, who had been on guard against them the whole time, saw Gu Laomao charge. He had no time to worry about the mother and daughter who had fallen into the sea. He swung his oar with all his might, smashing it against Gu Laomao's head.

With a *crack*, the oar shattered. Gu Laomao, who had just landed on the raft and hadn't yet found his footing, stumbled sideways and plunged headfirst into the water.

"You try moving one more fing inch!"

Qin Xuan, holding only the splintered handle of the oar, pointed it at Jiang Qinfen and Zhang Chao, who were about to charge, and roared with killing intent.

"Urk!"

Seeing how ferocious Qin Xuan was, the two men froze, a flicker of hesitation in their eyes.

"Miss Su, you two just hold onto the raft for now."

He saw Su Qing and Su Zhiyun trying to climb back onto the raft several times, but failing due to their lack of strength.

Qin Xuan, still in a standoff with Zhang Chao and Jiang Qinfen with the broken oar in hand, turned his head and said to the two women.

With no one steering, the two rafts were slowly being pushed apart by the waves. Once they reached a safe distance, he could pull the two of them up.

"Damn it, what the hell? We ran into a vicious wolf cub."

Seeing that several minutes had passed and Gu Laomao hadn't resurfaced, Zhang Chao and Jiang Qinfen knew he was most likely dead.

"Such beautiful women, right within our grasp, and they just slipped away. I'm so fing pissed!"

Jiang Qinfen glared at Qin Xuan, who was now more than ten meters away, pulling the mother and daughter onto the raft. He ground his teeth and spat out the words.

"Slipped away? Where are they going to go?"

"That kid's oar is broken. With just that half a stick, there's no way he can control the raft."

"For the next few days, as long as we stop them from getting any supply crates, we can starve them out."

A vicious look appeared in Zhang Chao's eyes.

"That's right!"

"We'll follow him for now. After we've starved him for a few days, I'll hack him to pieces with my own hands to avenge Gu Laomao."

The gloom on Jiang Qinfen's face vanished, replaced by a vicious glare directed at Qin Xuan, who was dozens of meters away.

*Ding...*

"Congratulations, Host, for completing the 'Ocean Survival for All' world's first kill mission. Reward: [Infinite Enhancement System]. Bind to a carrier within 60 minutes to activate the system. The offer will expire."

A crisp, pleasant system notification chimed in Qin Xuan's mind.

"Haha..."

"System, you're here! You're finally here."

Qin Xuan, still holding the broken oar, cheered with excitement.
