Abandoned safe house.

The road was blocked and then locked.

Zhao Maomao recounted in detail how "Xia Chuhe" led the rebels to storm the base and commit massacres, and how the Cape Trading Center changed hands.

"That's not right. The higher-ups have already found out that I entered the instance. Didn't they suspect that the 'me' in the rebel army was someone else in disguise?" Xia Chuhe couldn't help but interrupt Zhao Maomao's story after hearing that the guards had been loitering near the instance for the past few days.

Zhao Maomao choked. His mind was filled with thoughts of his boss becoming a wanted criminal, and he was only thinking about how to escape. He didn't consider things from the perspective of the base at all.

Zhao Maomao tried to save face: "Some superpowers can create clones, maybe the people at the base think you have that too..."

Xia Chuhe smiled: "That's possible. The base just wants to kill me."

Zhao Maomao froze, and the others also showed somewhat unnatural expressions.

Xia Chuhe patted Zhao Maomao on the shoulder: "Just kidding."

"It's bad luck," Bu Yi muttered to himself.

Xia Chuhe didn't care about that; she was more concerned about something else: "There are two core elements of this dungeon. One is the roulette wheel, which can be used once a day to randomly obtain an animal; but if I have it, it can draw dungeon information and obtain dungeon clues, just like the previous Mushroom Dungeon and Bird Island Dungeon."

“The other one… a watch.” Xia Chuhe’s expression was serious. “To be honest, it’s very powerful, and I really want it.”

Xia Chuhe, having revealed his true thoughts, sighed: "Those chosen by it will have their time reduced by sixty years instantly."

Among the people in the room, Zhao Maomao has the lowest loyalty at 50, and he did not participate in the instance.

Secondly, there's Li Qiusheng, 65, whose loyalty is enough for her to reveal her secrets.

Although Lu Dangui has no loyalty, Xia Chuhe doesn't want to consider her. If Lu Dangui wants to betray her... then so be it.

Xia Chuhe did not feel that he possessed anything that Lu Dangui could scheme against.

The people in the room were instantly stunned by the bombshell news dropped by Xia Chuhe.

They had run through so many dungeons, encountering five or six dungeon cores of all sizes, but this was the first time they had ever encountered an offensive dungeon core, and one with such high attack power.

Bu Yi was the first to speak: "I don't want to."

In the dungeon, Xia Chuhe and Li Yue contributed the most, so it wasn't her turn to participate in the rotation.

Moreover, Bu Yi would always remember that she had been lying alone in the dark for a long time when suddenly a voice muttered and asked her, "How long have you been lying here?", "What's your name?", "Do you have any friends?"...

Bu Yi was willing to be the first to step forward and give up the core of the dungeon, even if others might think she was deliberately trying to please Xia Chuhe.

Li Qiusheng and Wang Yan said in unison, "I don't want it either."

Wang Yan said, "Just provide me with food and lodging."

Li Qiusheng looked slightly disgusted: "This watch is too plain, it's not nice, I don't like it."

Li Yue shook her head: "Before you leave, go to the coordinates I told you about. I've hidden a special pistol there. Just don't try to take it from me."

Xia Chuhe looked at Lu Dangui with eager eyes.

Lu Dangui belatedly realized, "Huh? Me?"

Xia Chuhe chuckled, a hint of satisfaction in his expression.

These were her trusted partners, and she thought she should entrust them with enough trust.

Xia Chuhe swallowed nervously: "Um, there's something else..."

Lu Dangui's expression suddenly changed: "Be careful."

She raised her hand and flung the dagger from her wrist, which clattered into the air.

A nearly transparent figure was forced to reveal itself, and Lu Dangui's thrown dagger was blocked by her steel blade. Although exposed, the "invisible person" still wanted to fight to the death with the steel blade, rushing towards Xia Chuhe recklessly.

Xia Chuhe raised his watch, pointed it at the transparent man, and turned it clockwise once.

The invisible woman's speed slowed down to a visible degree; as the steel blade fell weakly, her hair turned from black to gray...

The steel knife fell to the ground, and the old man fell down.

The "invisible man" was terrified, his voice hoarse: "What did you do to me?!"

"Why did you kill me?" Xia Chuhe asked sharply.

Just as the "invisible man" was about to speak, Li Yue grabbed Xia Chuhe, who was closest to her, from behind and pulled him backward forcefully.

"boom--"

The "invisible man's" head was torn apart by blood and flesh, and his death was no different from that of the fake Xia Qingxue.

Without a doubt, the "invisible man" was sent by the higher-ups.

Xia Chuhe initially thought this person had been hiding in the abandoned safe house and only acted when Xia Chuhe mentioned the "treasure." Unexpectedly…

Xia Chuhe's hair stood on end, and he shivered.

Her joke with Zhao Maomao turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy?!

The base really wants to kill her!

Why?

The key question is, how did the base pinpoint her location?

Since leaving the instance, Xia Chuhe has only interacted with these companions who shared life and death with him.

Li Yue murmured, "I saw her neck was red, and then I remembered..."

Then I remembered a control tactic commonly used by those in power—a miniature bomb buried behind the ear.

Li Yue hurriedly defended herself: "I didn't tip you off!"

"I didn't doubt you," Xia Chuhe said, trying to comfort him, though he was feeling a bit down.

Lu Danggui reminded everyone, "It's not safe here anymore. Let's go first, and we can talk on the way."

...

upper layer.

A private roundtable meeting with only three people.

The woman's slender fingers tapped on the table, a pearly luster flowing from her rounded fingertips.

"New message from the anchor point: your canary has flown away."

The weary-looking man frowned slightly, but said nonchalantly, "My canaries are all over the world, so losing one won't make a difference."
