Chapter 28 Cleaning (1)



◎The progress bar is actually full◎

"Even the windows..." Shangguan Yu immediately grabbed something and threw it towards the window frame. The metal window frame suddenly became electrified and made crackling sounds when something hit it.

If a living person bumped into it, he would probably be electrocuted to the point of turning pale and half-death in an instant.

"Boom——" The building shook with the footsteps.

It felt like a group of crazy beasts were charging outside the gate. The sound was like raw meat hitting the door, which made people's scalps tingle.

Long Qingyu had already signaled Rong Xiao and the others to step back. After checking the bullets in all the guns on him, he placed the spare ones in a convenient location and aimed one of them towards the gate.

The windows were electrified, and even a bird-like person like Shangguan Yu had no way to escape.

Especially since his wings are made of metal, once they are spread out, they simply attract people to him.

I don’t know where that squinty-eyed guy is hiding, but he actually electrified all the windows in the house, even the vents in the toilet.

The door frame and metal door in the house suffered the same fate. Not only were they trapped, they didn't even have a second escape route to try.

Outside the door, zombies were roaring ferociously and excitedly, and the sound of collisions was huge and strong. It could be roughly judged that those zombies had definitely mutated not long ago, and their speed was very fast.

"If the door gets knocked open, it's only a matter of time before the zombies get inside," Long Qingyu said, taking advantage of the fact that the main door could still hold its own while carefully inspecting the room. "The kitchen is safe for now. It's connected to a small balcony, but... there's a lot of metal debris there. Leaving there isn't completely impossible."

"But we have to let the zombies in," Shangguan Yu said suddenly, thinking of something. "Our mission is to clear this room of zombies, but no zombies have appeared since we entered."

"you mean……"

"If that group of zombies came in, wouldn't that be the case?" Shangguan Yu's analysis made everyone feel a chill in their spines.

Triggering the mission in this way can't help but make people feel fearful and desperate, a sense of being caught in the net and unable to perform.

"Could there be electricity in the kitchen as well?" Tian Yichuang was shocked.

Long Qingyu nodded. "It's not the worst yet. Let's take a more conservative approach for now. If the door gets knocked open and we can't clean it up, we'll try to retreat from the kitchen." He added, "I'll leave first. If everything's OK, you can follow."

The path left by the kitchen looks like an option, but also like a dead end that leads the prey into a trap.

As soon as they looked out, the three men might be hiding somewhere, ready to stab them in the back when they were in a panic.

“Boom boom boom…”

The door was banged harder and harder, the sound was like a flood, and the huge noise basically covered up the sound of their voices.

The young man's face was pale, and he shrank to the position farthest from the door: "My broken hand, why did I help you just now? Now it's fine..."

Rong Xiao was very close to him, and he could hear all the boy's dejected mumblings. The aura around him was filled with despair, as if he was certain that he was about to die here. He even took out a wrinkled notebook and wanted to write his last words.

"Don't be afraid, you helped us just now, I will protect you!" Squatting beside him, Rong Xiao patted his shoulder, but the confidence on his face was not very convincing.

What they are facing is a large group of lively zombies. Even if they all have superpowers, none of them are very aggressive. Being surrounded will only mean death.

"You can't protect me, wuwuwu, don't worry about me, I need to hurry to write my last words." The young man curled up in the corner, holding a pen in his trembling hands and began to write quickly on the paper. Every time there was a sound of the door being knocked, his arms would tremble with fear, and he would look towards the source of the sound in horror.

Rong Xiao had never tried to comfort anyone. After all, her teammates were always calm enough in any situation and would never show such strong fear.

After imagining it in his head for a while, Rong Xiao squatted down and patted his head: "Don't worry, even if I can't protect you from being bitten by zombies, I will definitely let the zombies eat me first and then eat you."

Mom, he is even more scared, woooo!

The boy curled up into a ball, knowing she meant well, but he was in no mood to express gratitude.

I'm about to die, and I still have to listen to some sensational words before I die. It's simply not a comfortable death.

"It's over, the door is open!!" Tian Yichuang and Long Qingyu stood on the left and right of the door, one holding a gun and the other holding a fireball, ready to fight back at any time.

The cabinets and chairs blocking the door creaked with a grinding sound, the door lock was broken, and many bloodshot eyes crowded at the door, trying desperately to rush into the house.

Long Qingyu adjusted his position and aimed at those eyes through the gap between the stool legs and the cabinet. Every shot hit the target steadily, but after a pair of eyes disappeared, new eyes immediately filled the gap. It seemed that the zombies outside were endless and kept moving towards the door.

"It's over, it's over. We can't hold on any longer. Everyone, retreat inside." Tian Yichuang threw several fireballs to set the cabinet on fire. The zombies had no sense of pain at all and didn't know how to hide. They just instinctively tried to break down the door and come in. Countless hands stretched out from those fragile chairs, trying desperately to break down the last line of defense and rush into the house.

We can't wait any longer.

After the door was broken, the situation outside could be seen more clearly. Long Qingyu took a quick look and suspected that there were at least dozens of zombies outside. He was not sure how many were crowded in the corridor.

Long Qingyu went straight to the kitchen without saying a word, and even passed through the electrified door frame without hesitation.

There was a pile of stuff outside the balcony that had to be moved and sorted out so there would be a non-electrical area for everyone to go out.

Just as he was about to step out of the door, a figure appeared from the opposite window and threw something into the house.

The thing reflected a metallic luster, and when it was thrown into the air, a flash of lightning suddenly circled around it and rushed towards the house with bad intentions.

Long Qingyu picked up the bottle on the stove and threw it out, smashing the electrified object that flew into the house. But the next second, several more metal objects flew into the house from the window.

Whenever they tried to get out, things kept being thrown at them from the opposite side, with electric tails wrapped around them.

I couldn't even get close to the balcony, let alone clean up the metal objects piled on it.

The crackling sound of electricity gradually intensified, as if deliberately warning them that if they took another step forward, they would all be chopped into charcoal.

Long Qingyu retreated to the living room with a solemn expression. The boy had already finished writing his last words and was sitting in a corner, hugging his legs and muttering to himself, "I'm so useless. I shouldn't have come. Wuuuuu, I'm sorry, Jue-ge. I only cause trouble. Wuuuuu."

Crash——

The chairs piled up at the door collapsed, and the moment the zombies entered, the lightning power at the door was temporarily removed, as if deliberately preserving the zombies' combat effectiveness to deal with them.

Long Qingyu chose a suitable position, which was within the range of the pistol and also had enough distance to switch to a sniper rifle when necessary.

Ling Xuting and the others had given us a lot of bullets before, but no matter how many bullets there were, they would eventually be used up.

The current situation is not optimistic.

Tian Yichuang burned the zombies with fire as close to the door as possible, threw a fireball and swung a hammer to smash their heads.

The resolute figure blocked the door, as if he were an insurmountable wall. If the group of zombies wanted to move forward, they could only step over his body.

Ling Xi also held up two kitchen knives to support, but his physical strength was limited and the zombies were unlimited, so he soon became exhausted and out of breath.

"How could there be so many zombies? I didn't encounter many when I went upstairs before!" After finally getting a chance to take a breath, Tian Yichuang felt that his physical strength was being pushed to the limit. Blood flowed down the handle of the hammer. The hammer almost slipped out of his hand several times, but he gritted his teeth and used his fingers to steady it and hooked it back.

Shangguan Yu had already guessed a possibility.

This group of people had been in the apartment earlier than them, and from the very beginning they had controlled the zombies in each room, which was why the corridors and buildings were so quiet.

It was like they were walking into a well-laid trap... No, perhaps it should be said that everyone who came to complete the task would become prey.

"Brother Chuan, be careful!"

Tian Yichuang's movements became slower and slower, and the zombies were getting closer and closer, almost reaching out to hit him.

Rong Xiao walked forward with an iron hook, grabbed Tian Yichuang's coat, pulled him backwards, and ran to the front.

The iron hook was swung until only a shadow remained. Rong Xiao's movements were fast, fierce and accurate. He killed almost one zombie with each hand, and the speed at which the zombies entered the house was slowing down.

"The mission progress bar is reading repeatedly. I roughly know how to complete the mission." Shangguan Yu did not participate in the battle. He was always checking the light screen prompts on the bracelet at the back. "There are two ways."

"Shangguan, can you finish speaking in one breath?" Tian Yichuang, who was so tired that he was out of breath, roared fiercely.

Shangguan Yu ignored his anger and continued at his own pace: "The first method is to close the door and keep the room free of any zombies that can move for more than 10 minutes. The second method is to kill all the zombies until no more can come in."

"Fuck, but the zombies outside just keep coming, like they're going to a market. When will I be able to kill them all?" After resting for less than a minute, Tian Yichuang wiped the blood clean, grabbed the towel, wrapped it around the wooden handle and continued to join the battle.

Ling Xi's combat effectiveness next to him gradually declined, and he was immediately replaced by Shangguan Huai.

Only Rong Xiao seemed to have endless physical strength. She was fighting on the front line, and the left and right sides had changed twice, but she still had the strength to fight the zombies at the front.

"Close the door...close the door," Rong Xiao recalled Shangguan Yu's words as he fought the zombies. "Close the door."

Zombies kept coming in, and they had to kill and hide without any chance to breathe. Tian Yichuang, Ling Xi and Shangguan Huai's physical strength was almost at its limit.

If closing the door can make it work, maybe... you can give it a try.

The ground was littered with zombie corpses. Rong Xiao pursed his lips, waited for the door to be attacked before a new wave of attacks came, and rushed towards the door.

The number of zombies decreased, giving Rong Xiao some time to close the door.

The door cannot be locked, but we can find a way to temporarily block it.

Ten minutes passed quickly. A round of the game took her about ten minutes, and it was always over before she could get enough fun.

"Hey, hey, hey, be careful, there is electricity on the door!!" The boy who had been hiding in the corner without saying a word screamed. His voice attracted everyone's attention to Rong Xiao. Almost instantly, everyone held their breath and their heartbeats quickened.

Long Qingyu was originally using his gun to clear out the zombies that had just arrived at the door, and Rong Xiao was throwing the motionless zombie corpses out. After finally clearing out a space to close the door, the door was suddenly covered with a layer of electric light and emitted crackling sounds.

Rong Xiao was in a hurry to close the door and had no time to withdraw his hand, and his fingertips had already grabbed the door handle.

“Rongrongrongrongrongxiao!!!” Ling Xi screamed at the top of her lungs, her shrill cries echoing in the room.

At the front door, Rong Xiao pushed it shut regardless of anything, picked up the cabinets and chairs that had been knocked over, and piled them all up behind the door in a crooked manner.

As long as we can block the door, we can buy time!

"Is the battery out?" After looking up and down for a long time, Ling Xi put down the kitchen knife and was about to go forward to help, but was stopped by Shangguan Yu.

He picked up something and threw it out, hitting the chairs piled up behind the door. Sparks immediately flew and the crackling sound was loud enough for everyone to hear.

Another group of zombies gathered outside the door, but compared to the previous wave, this group of zombies moved slowly and were not as strong. They must have mutated for a long time.

The recently mutated zombies are faster and more crazy. Most of them should have been dealt with just now. The zombies that appear now are not as difficult to deal with as before.

Rong Xiao picked up the last chair and was about to move it to a higher place when suddenly there was a strong flash of lightning and she subconsciously pulled her hand back in pain.

"What... happened?" Ling Xi was stunned when she saw Rong Xiao returning safely.

The door was indeed electrified, and the chair legs were also carrying a strong current, but Rong Xiao was not hurt at all, as if he had just been accidentally shocked by static electricity and it was over.

"Rong Xiao, are you okay?" The gate was temporarily blocked, and Tian Yichuang came to check on her situation, panting heavily.

Looking at his hands, Rong Xiao shook his head: "I'm fine!"

"Come, come, let me take care of you." Shangguan Huai pulled the person over and was about to treat her, but found that she was fine.

There were no injuries on his hands, only some blue stains that seemed to have come from somewhere, and there were no symptoms of being electrocuted by high voltage electricity on his body.

His mind was clear, his hands and feet were nimble, and he looked like nothing had happened.

"Could it be that the electricity...can't kill people?" Shangguan Huai asked suspiciously, glancing at the metal chair legs stacked together at the door that were emitting electric flashes from time to time.

Shangguan Yu looked disgusted and said, "Why don't you try it?"

Shangguan Huai actually took two steps towards that, then suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stepped back: "That won't work. My healing ability can't save me."

Boom!

Boom!!

It seemed that a lot of zombies had gathered outside the gate, banging the door against their will, and the cover that had been built with great difficulty began to loosen.

The door was squeezed open a crack again, and many pairs of eyes were constantly moving towards the gap, trying desperately to get in.

Shangguan Yu had been keeping the bracelet's light screen on. After seeing the crack, he shouted, "We can't let them in! If another zombie comes in, the progress bar will be reset and everything will have to start all over again! We still have 6 minutes left!"

Ten minutes may seem short, but if you can't make it through the entire ten minutes, everything will return to zero and you will have to start from the beginning.

Rong Xiao flexed his wrists and came behind the wall beside the door, trying hard not to be seen by the zombies.

The others also retreated to the corner to avoid stimulating the zombies and making them bang on the door even more frantically.

"We can't let them in. We can't let them in."

Rong Xiao already knew the "game mission". Now he just needed to find a way to prevent the zombies from entering the door so that he could successfully complete the mission.

However, the metal near the door was filled with strong electric currents by the psychics, which would appear from time to time. Once touched, I'm afraid few people could survive like Rong Xiao.

Rong Xiao stared at the door intently, as if he was conquering an important level in a game.

The world fell silent in her concentration, and the unnecessary voices and noises seemed to be automatically blocked out.

The door is just 4 meters away. If there is a way to penetrate those barriers filled with strong electric currents and press down the door, the door will not be opened, right?

Her mental power was more concentrated than ever before, just like the state she was in when she was playing games on her mobile phone, or like the unusually quick and wonderful perception when danger was approaching.

Shangguan Yu kept the light curtain on and continuously broadcast the countdown in a sonorous and powerful voice in the quiet room.

"Three more minutes."

"Almost there, almost there, three minutes!"

The numbers of time kept ringing in Rong Xiao's mind like an echo, and everything within his sight seemed to be deliberately slowed down.

The breathing around me, the friction of footsteps on the floor... all the sounds were suddenly amplified and then disappeared in an instant.

It was as if his consciousness was like an arrow stretched taut, and when Rong Xiao's attention became more and more focused to the climax, it suddenly went out of control.

The door was pushed open, and a bloody hand grabbed the edge of the door, trying hard to squeeze into the room.

Their headache now is not that they can't kill all the zombies, but that they have to keep the house free of active zombies for more than ten minutes.

No one can get close to the door, but if a zombie steps into the room, everything will be reset to zero and start over again.

If you go through this over and over again, your spirit will be broken and you will collapse.

Their enemies now are not only zombies, but also tasks that must be completed, and the secret sniping of a lightning-type mutant.

Everyone else's expression was filled with despair, especially the zombies, who were pushing the door open to a wider and wider gap. No one knew where the limit would be for triggering a mission failure and restart.

"It's over, they are coming in, they are coming in again!" The young man hugged himself in the corner, babbling. He clenched his palms from time to time, as if trying to see if his supernatural powers had recovered, but failed every time.

Looking at those people who always stood in front without retreating, he didn't even dare to cry. He hugged the backpack in his arms, stared at their backs and gritted his teeth.

All the cowardly and fragile voices were swallowed back by him.

There is no need for any signs of weakness that would shake people up at a time like this.

The young man suddenly thought of what Rong Xiao had said before.

Even if zombies entered the house, she would definitely protect him and would not let him be harmed by those bloodthirsty monsters before her.

Wiping his eyes, the young man focused his gaze on Rong Xiao, his chest filled with a sense of tragedy.

That body that didn't look tall and strong could actually say words to protect him...and he could only curl up in the corner, unable to do anything except scream.

Even if he doesn't have super powers, he still has weapons!

Wiping away his tears and standing up, the boy fumbled in his bag and took out a small fruit knife and held it in his hand.

That seemingly short thing is like a toy in front of a zombie, and one cut may not be enough to kill the zombie.

But he had no way out. There was no other way except to fight with this team.

The door was pushed open wider and wider, and the strong electric light that appeared from time to time barely slowed down the speed of the zombies entering the house.

However, those short three minutes seemed to have slowed down into several centuries. For them, time seemed to have been suspended, and they could not wait for Shangguan Yu to tell them that the mission was over.

Rong Xiao stared at the door, his breathing more steady than ever.

There was no tension, no excitement, no extra emotions; her attention was entirely on the gap in the door.

Every millimeter of expansion will result in clear perception and data that will be automatically recorded and recognized in the brain.

"Ding Dong——" The strange sound seemed to come from far away.

Only then did Rong Xiao realize that the progress bar that only she could see was actually full.

The progress bar of the game task and her own "progress bar" move in sync.

Although the task progress of the bracelet game has not yet been completed, her unique "progress bar" has reached the end first when it reads forward at the same speed.

The gift box at the end of the progress bar has been opened, and it seems empty inside, as if the reward has automatically run out.

The originally full progress bar was cleared after a few seconds, and a new progress bar and an unopened gift box appeared.

Rong Xiao was extremely disappointed. How could she have missed the crucial moment of opening the gift box?!

"Bang--"

The banging of the door brought her attention back to the similarity.

She couldn't take care of the gift box or anything like that for the moment. The most urgent thing was to stop the group of zombies from entering the room.

We can't let them in, absolutely not!

The strong thought was like an arrow that shot out suddenly. Rong Xiao felt his body suddenly getting hot. An invisible force that he could not touch peeled off his body and rushed towards the door.

With a bang, the huge painting originally hanging on the wall behind him flew up and hit the pile of electrified chairs.

"What...what's going on?!" Ling Xi turned around weakly. What she saw was shocking. Even Shangguan Yu, who was so calm and composed, was so shocked that he was speechless.

There were a bunch of things floating around in the room, including a hair dryer, a marble dining table, an induction cooker, and vases...

The messy things seemed to have suddenly lost weight, suspended in the air, paused for less than five seconds, and suddenly accelerated towards the door.

Objects hit the chairs one after another, and finally a marble dining table flew directly over, deforming the chairs piled up at the door.

The powerful and terrifying impact cut off the zombie's fingers that were pulling at the door, and the door seemed to be closed by an invisible force.

With a bang, the previously clear and terrifying zombie roar was isolated outside the door.

Shangguan Yu took a moment to look at the countdown on the screen: "Ten seconds left, 10, 9, 8, 7..."

"Bang!"

The window was broken and a large box flew into the house and rolled all over the floor.

Long Qingyu lowered his head and saw metal balls rolling all over the ground, at least hundreds of them!

"Can you escape like this?" Outside the window, the arrogant laughter from the narrowed eyes was blown in by the wind.

He was a lightning-type esper, but even without being able to see anyone, his voice unconsciously radiated pride and contempt for the weak.

The lightning-type psychic who had nearly cornered them was just above the window.

He only needs to release one superpower to electrocute everyone to death.

There were so many metal balls that there was nowhere to hide.

The people in the room were pale, and they had almost no time to think of a solution. A flash of lightning had already connected to one of the iron balls and continued to spread to the other iron balls.

Shangguan Yu didn't dare to release the metal wings. At this time, creating a large piece of metal would be like telling people that he was a super good conductor.

But the balls were everywhere on the ground, and there was nowhere to hide!

Metal, the whole room was filled with metal. It seemed that this everyday arrangement that had never been noticed had become frightening at this moment.

Wow——

The boy quickly jumped onto the TV cabinet closest to him, but before he could stand firmly on the cabinet, he fell down. He fell back to the ground with his bag, just in time to catch a wave of electric shock.

"ah!!!"

As he screamed in advance, some strange energy seemed to gather in the room, and almost in an instant, a large object floated into the air like before.

This time, though, it's all metal!

The metal ball on the ground, the metal decorations in the room, the metal window frames, the screws on the door...

All the metal seemed to be sucked together by a magnet, quickly twisting into a large ball that broke through the window and flew out of the building.

The young man got up from the ground, stared outside and shouted excitedly: "Brother Jue!!"

A huge metal ball broke through the window and flew out into the air. Electric lights kept flashing on it, making it look like a terrifying dark weapon that had been electrified.

"The time's up! Mission accomplished, let's retreat!" Shangguan Yu's shout rang out, and everyone suddenly seemed to be energized, even killing zombies became exciting and active.

The metal door and chairs that were originally electrified were sucked onto the metal ball outside the window. The zombies at the door were blocked by the marble table that had inexplicably flown up before, leaving only a gap that was too narrow for people to pass through for the zombies to reach out and grab.

Without the restriction of the strong electric current, Ling Xi rushed forward and slashed with his knife, knocking the zombie blocking the door to the ground. Another one squeezed in and was killed by Tian Yichuang with a hammer.

After wiping his hands, Tian Yichuan handsomely gestured to Long Qingyu, who was holding a gun: "Brother Long, save the bullets for now, and leave this to us."

"It's strange, who... who controls these things?" After dealing with the zombies, Tian Yichuang still had the mood to reach out and move the marble table that was still floating in the air.

Everyone knows who has special abilities in the team. The unfamiliar guy's special abilities are cooling down, so it shouldn't concern him.

If you really have this ability, you wouldn't have waited until now to use it.

Rong Xiao stood in the middle of the corridor. She raised her fingers and shook them gently, and the table floating in the air that was holding up the zombies also rotated with the movement.

"Let some of the zombies in and finish the job quickly." Shangguan Yu walked behind Rong Xiao, raised his hands and gestured like a boss, telling her how to deal with the situation.

Ling Xi and Tian Yichuan, who were standing nearby, finally reacted and pointed at the thing at the door, almost biting their tongues as they spoke: "Was this done by Rong Xiao's supernatural power?!"

"It's obvious, could it be you?" In the entire team, only Rong Xiao has too many unknowns and novelties. When Shangguan Yu noticed the emergence of new superpowers, he intuitively thought of Rong Xiao.

After careful observation, he was sure that he was not wrong. The power to control these things came from Rong Xiao.

"Oh, okay, let a few in to play first." Rong Xiao moved the table, leaving a small gap for two zombies at the door to come in, and then immediately blocked the door.

Gradually they worked out a rhythm. Rong Xiao was in charge while Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang were on guard. The zombies at the door were quickly cleared out.

Rong Xiao curled his fingers slightly, and after clearing the zombies at the door, he trembled and suddenly closed them, and the marble table fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

"Ah, it seems to be out of control." Rong Xiao looked at his fingers, disappointed. He tried a few more times, but the fragments of the marble table lay motionless on the ground. "Is this malfunctioning?"

As she spoke, she tapped her palms and squeezed her arms, but the object on the ground still didn't float up.

"Let's go out first and study it carefully. Let's leave now." Long Qingyu was the first to go out. After making sure that the situation outside was normal, he raised his hand to signal others to follow.

The boy also mixed in with them, holding his backpack and following the team closely, afraid that he would be left behind.

Every few steps, he would look around, as if looking for someone.

The metal fences, door frames, spare parts and other items were all gone, as if someone had taken away all the metal in the entire apartment and rolled it into a huge metal ball hanging in the air outside.

As soon as they reached the third floor, the leader Long Qingyu suddenly raised his hand to signal them to stop and eavesdropped on the conversation outside.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. Let's finish the task first, damn it."

The one who spoke was the lightning-type mutant with squinting eyes. Another one was the octopus man, and another one named Yuan Yi was not with them.

"But we've searched every room and found nothing!" The octopus man was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles, and his voice was filled with unconcealable panic.

These two guys didn't complete their mission? !

"I should have known better than to listen to Yuan Yi's nonsense. He didn't even form a team. He just completed his mission and ran off. Now we're left with just the two of us... what should we do?" The octopus man panicked like a fly rubbing its hands. "Squint, do you have any ideas?"

"I have no clue," squinted his eyes and cursed. "359=69=9, 123=33=1233, what the hell is that?! We've searched every room related to numbers, but we can't find anything. Could it be that we've been tricked?"

The octopus man thought for a moment and asked nervously, "Could it be that group of people took the things?"

"It's unlikely. They didn't even enter a few rooms. Besides, we've forced them to this point. If they really found what we want, why don't they take it out and exchange it?"

"That's true," the octopus man said with a worried look on his face. "Why don't we hurry up and look for it? If we wait any longer... I'll always feel anxious."

The narrow-eyed man seemed to be accustomed to being conceited. He sneered and said, "Oh, what are you afraid of? That group of people must not have completed their mission. Can we be later than them?"

"That's definitely not the case. We will definitely finish it faster than them!!" The octopus man echoed self-paralyzedly.

Shangguan Yu listened to their conversation quietly. When the two walked away, he suddenly patted Long Qingyu on the shoulder and said, "Brother Long, I haven't taken something yet. You two go first. I'll go back."

Without waiting for Long Qingyu to object, Shangguan Yu rushed to a nearby room. In less than a minute, he came back with a box that looked exactly like the hexagonal cube.

"This is..." Long Qingyu understood immediately, and he subconsciously looked in the direction the two people left.

Shangguan Yu raised his hand with a wicked smile and said, "That's right."

"Huh? How did you find another one?" Safely downstairs, the boy began to wonder about other things. "Could this be... those two people's..."

When the two were talking just now, Shangguan Yu accidentally overheard the rules of their task, and he quickly found the answer in his mind.

359 and 69 are not three-digit numbers. This is a rule: 35X9=315, 6X9=54. The sum of the ones, tens and hundreds digits of these two numbers is 9.

The next clue is 123=33=1233, which is 315 and 54. Based on the two numbers 315 and 54, the ones digit of the first number and the tens digit of the second number overlap... Shangguan Yu guessed that the room number they need to find should be 3154.

"Brother Han, they are not dead, and they have even robbed us of the things we need!" The octopus man's shout came from the entrance of the room at the end of the corridor. The squinty-eyed lightning mutant walked to the door calmly, as if he was sure that they could not run far, and walked leisurely towards the stairs.

He sneered with narrowed eyes: "They can't get away."

The lightning crackled and approached, but before it could hit Shangguan Yu, a barrier-like faint light spread out, blocking the strong current outside.

All this seemed to have been expected. Shangguan Yu rushed out of the apartment holding the box and saw Su Ming standing outside with an impatient look on his face.

The impatience was not directed at him, but at the young man behind him.

"Beiran, if you're alright, could you please stop causing more trouble?" Su Ming said as he was about to go up and grab the man, cursing, "You still want to join us like this? Just go to bed."

Bei Ran ignored him and looked around with his backpack in his arms: "Brother Jue is here too, right? I only listen to Brother Jue."

"Why don't you guys hurry up and leave?" Yan Jue stood up from the chair in the green belt and slowly nibbled on an ugly-looking apple. No one knew where he had picked it from, but it looked quite malnourished.

"Su Ming, Yan Jue!!" She greeted them loudly, and before Rong Xiao could go over, Yan Jue was already drawn to her side like a magnet.

"Look, these are some fresh apples I found yesterday," Yan Jue pulled out an apple from his pocket that was even redder than the one in his hand. The surface must have been washed long ago and rubbed until it was shiny. "Although it doesn't look good, it tastes good. I saved this especially for you."

"Tsk, that's a nice way of saying it, as if you knew she would be here." Su Ming, with a look of disgust on his face, couldn't hold back his complaints and glanced at him coldly. He felt that this guy was oozing with cunning and sinister signals from head to toe.

Rong Xiao seemed oblivious to this. He took the apple and touched it: "Can I keep it for now?"

"Of course." Yan Jue looked at her with a smile.

Shangguan Yu couldn't understand this overly cheerful and harmonious atmosphere. There were clearly two psychics guarding the stairwell and trying to snatch the box back.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two people at the stairs. Yan Jue patted Rong Xiao's head and said, "Hurry up and leave here."

"Oh, we'll be leaving right away." After putting the apple away, Rong Xiao immediately returned to the team, and Long Qingyu led his men to retreat to the edge of the bubble.

He glanced coldly at Yan Jue and the others with narrowed eyes, and after making sure that this group of people had no intention of stopping them, he took the octopus man and chased in the direction where Long Qingyu and the others left.

At the edge of the bubble, a strong sense of crisis came from behind. Shangguan Yu had no time to look behind him and dodged by instinct. The lightning struck the place where he had stood, and a charred area immediately appeared on the ground.

"Hand over the things, otherwise, none of you will leave alive today." A large ball of glowing electricity gathered on the palm of his squinting eyes. His brows twitched slightly, and his tone of voice was still not good, more like a threat.

The previous progress bar was full and then cleared and recalculated. This time there was also an unopened gift box at the end of the progress bar.
