The crowd automatically parted to make way for a tall, dark-skinned middle-aged man who walked in.

He was wearing a grease-stained work vest and had a hideous scar on his left arm that extended from shoulder to wrist.

"Lord Scorpion!" The woman with colorful hair immediately put away her knife and put on a flattering smile.

Su Wan was shocked. Is this the second-in-command Scorpion mentioned by the "Know-it-all"?

It seems that this "Hyena Squad" really has some background.

Scorpion looked around and locked his eyes on Lu Shiyan: "New here?"

Lu Shiyan nodded, not shy: "I just arrived yesterday."

Scorpion studied him for a few seconds and suddenly smiled: "Interesting."

He turned to the Hyena Squad and said, "Jimmy, what's the point of you three bullying the newbies?"

"Lord Scorpion, this mission was originally reserved for us!" Jimmy, the burly man, argued unwillingly.

Scorpion waved his hand: "The mission hall has its own rules. Whoever gets it owns it. Don't embarrass me here."

The woman with colorful hair wanted to say something, but Jimmy pulled her back. He winked at the woman, then smiled at Scorpion and said, "We were wrong. Master Scorpion is right."

Scorpion nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Lu Shiyan: "Young man, now that you have the mission, you must complete it well. The mutant spider is not easy to deal with. If you fail..."

He paused meaningfully, "I don't like to see losers in my territory."

Lu Shiyan's expression remained unchanged: "Then we will wait and see."

Scorpion looked at them a few more times, then turned and left. The crowd dispersed and continued to scramble for the task board.

The three members of the "Hyena Squad" also retreated, but before leaving, Jimmy's cold eyes swept over Lu Shiyan and his group: "Newcomers, be careful on the mission, don't die outside."

The woman with colorful hair was even more blunt: "This matter is not over yet!"

After they walked away, Xiao Han whispered, "It looks like we're in trouble."

"This little trouble is not worth mentioning." Lu Shiyan put the task list into his pocket and said calmly, "Go register the task first."

Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief, and her nervousness eased a little. At least the mission was saved, and it was only yellow level, so it shouldn't be too dangerous.

They came to the registration desk, and the sleepy staff member didn't even look at them. He mechanically stretched out his hand: "Task list."

Lu Shiyan handed over the yellow slip. The staff member opened a thick registration book, flipped to a page at random, and scribbled down the time and their names.

"Abandoned factory in the southern area, the deadline is 7 days." He said as he wrote, "Do not exceed the time limit. If you exceed the time limit, it will be regarded as giving up the task and you will not be allowed to accept the task again within three months. After completion, bring back the poison gland of the mutant spider as proof."

He raised his head and finally looked them in the eye: "Do you have super powers?"

Lu Shiyan nodded: "Yes."

"Okay then." The staff stamped the seal and said, "Good luck to you."

There was absolutely no hint of blessing in his cold tone.

After leaving the mission hall, Su Wan couldn't help but ask, "That scorpion looks very influential?"

"Second in command." Xiao Han said simply, "In charge of Area B and task allocation. 'Know-it-all' said he is ruthless and likes to watch people fight, just like watching the gladiatorial arena."

Su Wan was a little worried: "Will there be trouble?"

Lu Shiyan shook his head: "As long as we complete the mission, there won't be any big problems. On the contrary, the 'Hyena Squad' might make trouble."

"That team doesn't look simple." Ah Mo spoke for the first time, "Especially the burly guy, he should be quite skilled."

Xiao Han sneered: "They are just some bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. What's so scary about them?"

"Don't take it lightly." Lu Shiyan reminded, "Prepare for tomorrow's mission first. The mutant spider is said to be very poisonous, so we need to make some preparations."

After returning to the rented apartment, Lu Shiyan began to cook. He moved quickly, and soon the aroma of food wafted through the apartment. A plate of scrambled eggs, a pot of minced meat stew, and a bowl of wild vegetable soup were ready.

As soon as the food was served on the rickety old wooden table, Ah Mo helped to set the simple dishes and chopsticks, and then he lowered his voice and said to Lu Shiyan: "The abandoned factory in the South District, when I went to the water point to wait in line, I heard people talking about it. They said that the place was very evil and many people died there."

"Is it so dangerous?"

Lu Shiyan glanced at her and said, "It's okay. You stay at home. Ah Mo will stay to protect you. Xiao Han and I will go."

"No!" Su Wan immediately objected, "I must go! I... I can help!"

That abandoned factory was one of the few coordinates in her memory.

The things inside should still be there. The heroine of the original book, Ying Caier, only obtained this batch of arms in the later period.

Xiao Han curled his lips, his tone still unpleasant: "Xiao Su Wan, you are a key protected person now, so don't go to places like abandoned factories to cause trouble. If something happens, won't Young Master Lu demolish us?"

He paused, his eyes swept over Su Wan's determined face, and added, "Just rest assured and take care of the baby. When the baby is born, I will help you to defeat all enemies in the world."

Su Wan: “…” I have never hated my own incompetence so much.

Su Wan was silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and clenched his fists unwillingly.

"I remember the mission said it was a three-person team. If you two go, we won't have enough manpower."

Lu Shiyan put down his chopsticks and looked at Su Wan: "Do you have special abilities?"

"No, but I can help keep watch or help you get things!" Su Wan said eagerly, "I won't be a burden to you."

"If you don't have superpowers, don't make trouble." Xiao Han grinned sarcastically, "Just cheer us on."

"No!" Su Wan looked at Lu Shiyan, "I have to go! How can you get the things back if I don't go? I have the ability to go, okay?"

Lu Shiyan: "Yes, we all know that you have spatial abilities, but you are pregnant. Do you want to take the risk of the child?"

"I..." Su Wan choked and subconsciously touched her still flat belly.

Xiao Han smiled gloatingly: "You should finally give up now, right? Just stay at home and be your pregnant daughter."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Shiyan stood up, "We'll set off early tomorrow morning. Xiao Han and I will set off."

Su Wan forced a smile: "I know." Her arsenal, ah woo woo...

When he looked at Su Wan's disappointed expression, there was a barely perceptible hesitation or worry in his eyes, but he still insisted on his decision in the end.

It's late at night.

The base outside the window was dead silent, with only the occasional roars of unknown creatures coming from afar.

In the apartment, Xiao Han and A'mo had already fallen asleep in the makeshift partition in the living room, and their light snoring could be heard through the thin wall.

Su Wan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

That's munitions!

Not a few broken fruit knives!

It's like sending timely help. No, it's like sending the firepower of a reinforced company in the midst of the snow!

What if someone else gets there first?

Su Wan sat up suddenly.

What's wrong with the pregnant woman?

Do pregnant women deserve to stay at home and hatch eggs?

Although there were a lot of supplies stored in her space, there were very few offensive weapons.

No, I must go.
