"nice one?"

Wang Lan looked puzzled. "What are you talking about? What good stuff? I don't understand."

"Heh..." Lu Ren sneered, holding a bullet casing between two fingers and waving it in front of Wang Lan's eyes, saying, "Don't treat others like fools. We found bullet casings just like you."

The look of doubt on Wang Lan's face faded. He understood and knew he couldn't keep up the act any longer, so he could only ask, "What do you mean by sharing the meeting in half?"

Lu Ren clapped his hands and said, "You really are a smart person. No wonder Yu Bin speaks highly of you."

"Oh? Really?" Wang Lan's eyes lit up. "What did he say about me?"

“He said you’re young, but quite capable, and…” Lu Ren’s expression suddenly turned cold as he spoke, “Damn, are you trying to change the subject?”

He felt like he had been led astray by Wang Lan.

Wang Lan shrugged, not saying what she really meant, but instead looking completely innocent, "No, I just wanted to hear what other people thought of me."

"Then ask him yourself!" Lu Ren roared, getting back to the point, and said, "I think you've noticed that the footprints have reappeared, and along with the bullet casings, they all point to that cave. Let's be frank, whether there's anything good in that cave or not, it's worth exploring. But it's too unsafe for one person to go in alone. How about the two of us go down together?"

Wang Lan frowned and looked at Sun Muchen and the others.

Although it was indeed very dangerous for someone to sneak into the underground cave at this time, given the high risk of viral transmission, he did not believe that Lu Ren's words were as simple as they seemed.

Noticing Wang Lan's expression, Lu Ren said, "You can rest assured. I guarantee with my integrity that these three people will be safe and sound before we come out."

“Uh…” Wang Lan looked puzzled. “Do you even have a personality?”

Lu Ren: "..."

He rubbed the veins bulging on his forehead and said, "You should know that Yu Bin doesn't like people in the team killing each other. I won't make enemies with him unless absolutely necessary."

"This..." Wang Lan's face was embarrassed, "Does Yu Bin have any dignity?"

"Damn it!" The veins he had just rubbed suddenly sprang back up. Lu Ren said, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

“Nothing to do,” Wang Lan shrugged. “You four go in, we’re not going.”

Lu Ren: "???"

He suppressed his anger and said, "Name your terms, is that alright?"

"OK!"

Lu Ren: "..."

Then Wang Lan used Lu Ren's chains to tie up the three people in Lu Ren's group.

The bound hunter was taken aback. "Hey! You've tied us up. What if an infected person shows up?"

Wang Lan pointed at Sun Muchen, Lao Zhang, and Fatty, "The three of them will protect you."

The bound hunters looked at the trio of two useless individuals and one weakling, and said, "Couldn't you at least spare one of us?"

Wang Lan chose to ignore their murmurs and turned to look at Lu Ren.

Lu Ren said, "My weapon is the chain. If you take it away, what will I do if there is any danger?"

“Then we won’t do it,” Wang Lan said. “We’re withdrawing.”

Left with no other choice, Lu Ren had to agree to Wang Lan's excessive demands.

After giving Sun Muchen a few brief instructions, Wang Lan and Lu Ren put on their headlamps and night vision goggles and went into the cave.

The excavation of this cave must have taken a lot of effort, as the steps leading to it were quite long, stretching into the unknown darkness. Fortunately, the two were well-equipped, so the darkness didn't affect them much.

As they walked further down, the silence grew, until finally, only the soft sound of their footsteps could be heard.

As they walked, Wang Lan suddenly spoke up, "I see your hair is messy, probably because you're wearing a headlamp. Also, you have marks near your ears, probably from the night vision goggles. You must have come down earlier, right?"

Lu Ren paused in his footsteps, then said with a cold laugh, "You are indeed very observant, even noticing such details. That's right, I did come down just now."

Wang Lan was taken aback. "You actually came down here."

Lu Ren was immediately taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"I was just kidding you. The hairstyle and the marks were just something I made up."

Lu Ren: "..."

By this time, the two had finished climbing the steps and arrived at the cave. Unexpectedly, the cave was very wide and long. Under the light of their headlamps, they could not see the end. It must have stretched for at least fifty meters forward.

A faint stench of decaying corpses mixed with the smell of blood could be smelled, which was rather unpleasant.

Wang Lan discovered that the smell was coming from the corpses of several infected individuals, each of whom had a hole about the size of two fingers in their head, while others had holes in their bodies.

Wang Lan said, "Now that we've come down here, let's be frank. What did you discover?"

Lu Ren sighed, "Actually, there are many infected people in this cave, and the further we go..."

"You're lying."

"...Okay, there are rats in this burrow."

"You're lying."

"...There are many insect eggs in this burrow."

"You're talking nonsense."

Lu Ren: "???"

"You're not being honest, I'm not going."

Lu Ren quickly grabbed him and said helplessly, "There are people in here who can shoot."

Wang Lan glanced at the holes in the infected person's body, satisfied. "Continue," she said.

“We came down before you arrived, but halfway there we heard gunfire ahead. We were almost hit, and in the end we had no choice but to turn back.”
