Chapter 262

Lucy White couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still thinking like this is the real world," she said, waving the map in her hand. "This is an apocalypse scenario!"

Xavier Boone adjusted his glasses with a sigh. "They haven't adapted yet."

Asher York and the other two exchanged glances.

Only then did they notice that both Xavier and Lucy were holding maps.

"Smart people check the map first," Xavier remarked pointedly. "Too bad there aren't many smart contestants this time."

Asher and his teammates: "..."

The sarcasm hit them like a freight train.

The live comments exploded.

[Ouch! That shot straight to my knees!]

[I'd have gone straight for the supermarket too!]

[Where are those people who called Lucy pretentious? How's that humble pie tasting?]

[The details! The supplies in the room were clearly enough.]

[The producers are sneaky! They deliberately mentioned the supermarket on the first floor.]

[Only three people actually searched the rooms—Lucy was one of them.]

[The big screen only shows the top-performing contestants.]

[Lucy is the GOAT!]

Meanwhile, Lucy was distributing medical supplies.

Xavier suddenly pointed at the tent. "Why bother with this? Planning a camping trip or running for your life?"

Finn Wallace crossed his arms. "We need to sleep at night, don't we?"

"You think you'll have time to pitch a tent while escaping?" Lucy chuckled. "You'll ditch it within half an hour."

Xavier added, "You'd have been better off grabbing more energy bars."

Finn: "..."

Another indirect roast.

Asher quickly intervened. "Just let them keep it." He held up a bread packet. "Speaking of which, is this food even real?"

The group paused.

Even Xavier looked thoughtful.

"Of course it is." Lucy tore open a packet and took a bite. "Try it and see."

Asher did—and his eyes lit up. "It actually fills you up!"

"How did you know?" Jasper King asked curiously.

Lucy smirked. "Guesswork. The producers must've built a real set on the island. Blending reality with simulation sells the illusion."

She gestured around. "This place is both virtual and real."

The realization dawned on them.

The live comments went wild again.

[This intellectual dominance is everything!]

[Lucy's observation skills are next-level.]

[The producers: Our entire playbook is exposed.]

[Other teams are still confused while they've already cracked the rules.]

[She's playing 4D chess out here.]
