Upon hearing this, Wang Dalu's expression immediately froze.

He stared blankly at Su Lin, seeing his own bewildered expression reflected in Su Lin's calm pupils.

For a moment, Wang Dalu panicked.

"Big brother, I..."

"Go to hell."

Su Lin spoke calmly, uttering only two simple words, yet they struck like thunder, silencing Wang Dalu.

He realized that his loss of composure had caused the big boss to change his mind.

According to the normal plan, I should have received some benefits under the protection of the big boss.

However, at this moment, his actions overstepped the mark, causing him to miss out on some of the benefits.

"Okay... According to the plan, it would be best for me to die at this point, given the optimal solution."

Wang Dalu murmured to himself, looking away from Su Lin, as if he had reverted to his fearful yet innocent nature at this moment.

Under Su Lin's gaze, the young man slowly pulled out a small dagger and held it to his neck.

"Big brother, I..."

Before Wang Dalu could say his final goodbye, Su Lin suddenly asked, "You said you entered the map empty-handed, so where did you get this dagger?"

"ah?"

Wang Dalu was taken aback, then smiled and explained, "It's very cheap, only 20 resource coins... well, it's not really a self-defense weapon."

"good."

Su Lin nodded: "Let's get started."

"Brother, are you doubting me?"

Wang Dalu sighed: "I'm not lying to you, I really went into the map empty-handed, and I died a terrible death before... To be honest, I'm very grateful for all of this. I feel indebted to you."

"Let's do it."

Su Lin said calmly, still using those two words.

He didn't feel that either side owed him anything; Su Lin had already compensated Wang Dalu for all the help he had given him.

The fact that he has survived until now in front of Su Lin is itself an extra act of leniency.

There was no debt owed to each other; everything was done according to the rules of escape.

Even Su Lin's current attitude is nothing more than his unchanging vigilance and caution.

Su Lin could allow an ordinary person who posed no threat to live in front of him, since killing him would bring no benefit whatsoever.

But Su Lin would never allow a psychopath to be by his side. This was the biggest uncontrollable factor, and Su Lin would ruthlessly eliminate even the slightest threat to him!

Wang Dalu sensed the killing intent emanating from Su Lin; his calm eyes held an undeniable pressure.

"Pfft!"

Without much hesitation or regret, Wang Dalu plunged the dagger into his own neck, severing his throat.

Blood spurted out and splattered all over the cement floor.

Su Lin watched calmly as Wang Dalu's body slumped to the ground, like a drained doll, the light in her eyes gradually fading.

In the brief moments between the passing of this man's life, Su Lin sensed from his eyes that he seemed to have something he wanted to say, but he was too weak to speak.

Su Lin was too lazy to argue, nor did she want to guess or ask.

Su Lin realized that this man's "fearlessness" was more than just "fearlessness".

He was contemptuous, and he was just as contemptuous of his own life.

Even knowing that the survivors will not actually die, how many people can be so calm, decisive, and without any psychological burden?

"A freak."

Su Lin watched silently as Wang Dalu's body gradually stiffened and grew cold. He understood that there were many inexplicable and extraordinary people in this world, and his heart remained unmoved.

They were just passersby in the escape game, and there might not be a next time they met.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Su Lin raised his hand, drew his Tang sword, and swiftly slashed through Wang Dalu's corpse, cutting it into tiny pieces on both sides.

Since we're already dead, let's make the death as thorough as possible.

Su Lin didn't want to see any methods of bringing the dead back to life; that would be too disgusting.

After repeatedly slashing with his Tang sword, Su Lin took out the [Primary Corpse Dissolving Water] from his backpack. This wasn't a supply he had brought with him; it was something he had just confiscated.

But since it exists, let's use it.

Su Lin dripped the [Primary Corpse Dissolving Water] into Wang Dalu's corpse, watching it gradually melt away, before turning back to the iron bed, sitting cross-legged, and closing his eyes to rest.

He was all alone in the empty, secluded room, filled with a thick, lingering stench of blood, a foul smell that, however, brought Su Lin a sense of peace.

Loneliness is a warrior's most loyal friend.

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was six o'clock in the evening.

The third test subject arrived as scheduled. It was a huge creature resembling a fierce tiger, extremely large, standing up to four meters tall, almost the size of a small building.

When it opens its mouth, it reveals a truly gigantic maw, with its sharp, scattered teeth as large as horns, capable of swallowing almost any living creature amidst an overwhelming stench.

"It looks terrifying."

This is Su Lin's only positive assessment of it, and its only merit.

The third test subject did not survive the second cut.

The moment it stood on the platform and saw Su Lin, the Tang sword had already sliced ​​the tiger's head in two, cleanly and decisively!

Without any fancy moves, the third challenger seemed to be just a larger, ordinary tiger with extremely limited combat power, far weaker than the first two challengers.

"It seems that the strength distribution of the test takers on the first day is from strong to weak."

While pondering, Su Lin retrieved the welfare allowance from the tiger's corpse by himself. It was a special oil paper bag that emitted a red glow.

[New supply point discovered, searching in progress...]
