"That sounds like Bao Jie's voice?"
Sun Tiantian listened to the door for a while, then sat up with some surprise.
The arguing on the other side of the door grew louder, occasionally mixed with the rustling of clothes rubbing together.
When Lu Sheng and her group pushed open the door, the people inside, who were arguing heatedly, were startled.
As expected, it was a group of people from the K3 base.
However, it seems they've encountered quite a bit of trouble.
The K3 team originally had 8 people, but now there are only 6 left. Lu Song broke one of his arms and temporarily tied it to his neck with a tattered vest.
Ma Dongmei and Lin Xiaobao also had abrasions on their bodies, and the bespectacled guy had been bitten on the butt by something and was limping.
Wang Hao and another middle-aged man appeared to have the least injuries, with only a few tears in their clothes.
"I finally found a way out, I don't want to be trapped here to die!"
Wang Hao glanced awkwardly at Lu Sheng, his tone noticeably dropping a notch.
"You want to live? Fine, go ahead and leave others to die. What kind of person are you!" Lin Xiaobao glared fiercely at Wang Hao.
Ma Dongmei didn't say anything, but sat on the ground with her long legs crossed, smoking and occasionally exhaling a few smoke rings.
"She...she has no superpowers now, she's just a burden! The only use she's somewhat is to poison those mutants!"
Wang Hao stiffened his neck, trying to win over Lü Song and the bespectacled guy, "Don't forget our goal. Rather than everyone waiting to die here, it's better to sacrifice one person so that the others at least have a chance to survive."
"This place is so big. Even if we deal with the mutated creatures at the entrance, can you guarantee there won't be any other high-level zombies as we go deeper?"
Lu Song's face was tense as he firmly stated, "We cannot abandon any of our teammates. Let's take a break now and see if we can find another way."
The bespectacled guy naturally sided with Lü Song, while the remaining person, who initially favored Wang Hao, quietly shut up when he saw that everyone else was against it.
"If you're willing to wait to die, then stay here. I'm not going to serve you anymore!"
Wang Hao was suddenly isolated, and he became furious and turned to walk towards Lu Sheng.
"Miss Lu, I'd like to join your team."
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow slightly, his cold gaze sweeping over the middle-aged man in front of him.
He was in his early thirties, slightly overweight, with small eyes full of mercenary shrewdness.
"I am a third-order perception-type user, and I can help you find the safest route. Furthermore, I know where the passage to the next level is!"
Wang Hao was very confident in himself and believed that Lu Sheng would definitely accept his joining.
After all, sensory abilities are relatively rare, and in this situation where everything is completely dark and you're at a loss, having a radar is practically a lifesaver.
Inside the emergency exit, everyone's gaze fell on Lu Sheng without prior arrangement.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"You? You think you're worthy?"
A few seconds later, Lu Sheng's thin lips curled into a contemptuous smile, "Even my cat is more useful than you."
"Sorry, our team doesn't keep burdens. What kind of trash is Tier 3? How come someone so old is only Tier 3?"
Han Rui couldn't stand his attempt to push Ma Dongmei out to her death, and she sarcastically teased him from the side.
"Fine...fine...you wait! If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will! Just wait to die! I'll be offering incense to you next year on Qingming Festival!"
Wang Hao was mocked by a teenage girl, his face flushed red and then turned pale, and he turned to leave.
"Wait a moment."
He had only taken two steps when Lu Sheng suddenly called out to him.
"What? You've changed your mind?"
Wang Hao snorted and turned around smugly.
He knew it! Perception-type users are highly sought after everywhere! That brat dared to act tough with him just now. He'd definitely find a chance to teach them a lesson when they got back to K3 base!
"Since you're already here, don't leave."
Lu Sheng's face was as cold as frost, and the composite crossbow in his hand fired in response.
*Pfft*
The sharp crossbow bolt struck Wang Hao squarely in the forehead.
Wang Hao stared in astonishment, and before he could speak, he staggered and fell into the narrow emergency exit.
"Big...Big Sister...Why did you kill someone?" The bespectacled guy ignored his sore butt and limped over to look at Wang Hao.
The crossbow bolt pierced his forehead, and he died instantly; there was no chance of saving him.
"If we don't kill this person we know so well, are we just going to wait for him to find someone else to deal with us?"
Lu Sheng squatted down and skillfully dug out Wang Hao's crystal core. "From the moment he chose to abandon Sister Mei, he was no longer your comrade-in-arms. There's nothing to regret."
Normally, Lu Sheng would just teach this kind of person a lesson.
But the situation is different now.
Letting him go would be digging a hole for herself, and she wouldn't do something so stupid.
The group at K3 base looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Although they also despised Wang Hao's behavior, they couldn't bring themselves to do it because they had worked together as comrades.
But Lu Sheng's words were not without reason.
Judging from the first two stages, Chen Dongsheng's so-called Qinhuai Heroes Gathering is more like a battle royale elimination tournament.
Wang Hao knew K3 and Lu Sheng's abilities and characteristics inside and out. If he joined forces with other teams to deal with the two teams, they would be at a disadvantage before the fight even started.
"Where is the passage you found?"
Now is not the time for sentimentality. Lu Sheng found some dressings and tossed them to the bespectacled young man to cover his backside, then turned and asked in a cold voice.
The two teams regrouped and set off, following Lü Song out of the safety passage.
After walking a few steps, I heard a familiar "uh-oh" sound.
"Sea monster?"
Sun Tiantian subconsciously pinched her nose.
This thing smells like a sauerkraut jar that's been rotting for three years; just smelling it makes you dizzy.
"You all knew about this too?"
The bespectacled young man looked surprised. "The staircase leading to the third basement level is just ahead, but there are dozens of sea monsters gathered in that room, almost all of them have reached the fourth level."
"We only found out we were surrounded by these monsters after we went in. We barely escaped with our lives, losing two of our brothers."
Lu Sheng deftly raised the flashlight, quickly shone it towards the sea monster's room, and then immediately put it back.
That brief glimpse was enough for her to see the situation inside the room.
Forty or fifty sea monsters gathered in the room, their amber eyes radiating a bloodthirsty aura.
These sea monsters were clearly stronger than the ones they had encountered at the river mouth; some even had grown hind limbs and crawled on the ground like geckos, making them even more disgusting to look at.
"You all retreat to the safe passage, leave this to me."
Lu Sheng waved his hand, signaling the remaining people to retreat.
The room is too small, and it's difficult to operate if there are too many people. It also increases the risk of accidentally injuring one's own people.
"I'll go with you."
Xu Yi pulled out a white phosphorus gun.
Lu Sheng nodded, first taking out a live sheep from his spatial storage, slicing its neck open, and throwing it into the sea monster's room.
The fresh smell of blood immediately aroused the sea monsters' frenzy.
The disgusting mutants pounced on the lamb in an instant, and the only sound in the room was the sound of them chewing.
