When Lu Yuan appeared in front of the monster, he realized that there were several people staring at him from a distance.
Lu Yuan raised the gun to his shoulder, signaling to the other side that he was armed and that they should not make any rash moves.
However, he realized that these people did not seem to have any intention of robbing him.
One by one, they put their weapons aside and raised their hands.
The man with the ponytail at the head of the group shouted loudly at him.
"I am Sun Ke, may I come over?"
Lu Yuan hadn't expected the other party to be that SS-level expert, so he nodded slightly.
"Alright, come over here."
Sun Ke smiled and then spoke to the people around him.
"You guys stay here and wait for me. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he raised his hands and walked step by step to Lu Yuan.
"You're an SSS-level expert?"
This time, Lu Yuan didn't deny it; instead, he shrugged.
His current strength has almost been exposed, and since Sun Ke is an SS-level expert, he naturally wouldn't believe that his level is lower than Sun Ke's.
Seeing Lu Yuan admit it, Sun Ke breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed at the other man's gun and said.
"Where did you get this? We've searched every house in the neighborhood and found absolutely no sign of any life."
Lu Yuan smiled gently.
"You'll have to look for this in a much farther place."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Sun Ke showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Have you been to District Three?"
"Yes, and only in the houses in Zone 3 can you find better things."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ke's face was filled with shock.
"This is only the first wave of disaster, and you've already reached Zone 3. My God, I really don't know how to describe you."
Sun Ke knew that the first wave of disaster meant they could only stay in Zone 1 for the time being, or at most Zone 2.
As for number three, he's practically an exceptional case.
Arriving at Zone 3 when you're not strong enough is practically suicide.
Even someone of his SS rank wouldn't dare to get involved.
But to my surprise, someone actually dared to go. However, the other party was of a higher level than me, so they were obviously not an ordinary person.
Sun Ke made a gesture of admitting defeat, then pointed at the monster and said.
"Do you need any help? This monster is proving difficult to dissect."
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.
"No need, I can do it myself."
Sun Ke then shrugged, pondered for a moment, and said...
"If you need my help, please feel free to ask."
Lu Yuan shook his head again, but he had already drawn a dagger from his waist and begun to dissect the monster's head.
The monster's hide was very thick; a knife could barely cut through it.
After much effort, Lu Yuan finally managed to extract the monster's crystal.
Upon seeing the crystal, Lu Yuan's eyes revealed a surprised expression.
Because there is a special symbol inside the crystal.
"Could this symbol also represent something?"
Lu Yuan kept thinking about where the symbol appeared.
However, this symbol seemed very unfamiliar; he had never seen it anywhere before.
"No, this monster is of such a high level that it shouldn't only exist in Zone 2. Zone 3 might even have this symbol."
Lu Yuan put away this astonishing item and stuffed it into his entrance space.
However, he memorized the image of the symbol completely in his mind.
Having already grasped some of the rules, Lu Yuan now realized that these symbols contained various secrets.
The secret can be deciphered by finding the same symbols.
The one on the ground said that his monster remained where it was. Lu Yuan packed his things and was about to go back when he saw Sun Ke again.
The other person seemed to be waiting for him to realize that Lu Yuan had finished before walking over with a calm smile on his face.
"Is everything packed?"
Hearing the other person greet him so familiarly, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
What do you want to do?
Sun Ke could sense the unfriendly tone in Lu Yuan's voice, so he quickly waved his hand and explained.
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to make friends with you. By the way, this is the monster's home, and I can tell you there are definitely good things inside."
"Is this all you've come to tell me? If you could have, you could have taken all those things for yourself."
Sun Ke shrugged helplessly.
"To be honest, I'm interested in your level, so I'd like to team up with you. Is that okay?"
Lu Yuan never expected that an SS-level expert would choose to team up with someone else.
However, Lu Yuan then thought of the other party's previous actions.
He'll find low-ranking people to use as cannon fodder; this guy's wicked intentions warrant caution.
"Sorry, there's already someone in my team."
"You mean Jiang Han and Sophia? It's okay. One more person won't make a difference, one less person won't make a difference either. I'll provide the supplies myself. I just want to go hunting mutated beasts with you."
Upon hearing the other person's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile again.
"Are you after the mutated beast or these things on me?"
Sun Ke smiled gently this time.
“You underestimate me. Finding these things isn’t difficult for me. I mainly want to explore deeper with you.”
At this moment, the other person's eyes were full of sincerity, and Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown.
Are you sure you want to join the team?
"Tell me your conditions. I can provide any supplies you need."
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Okay, I agree to let you join, but it needs a vote from my other two members. Of course, you'll have to go through a trial period. If you break the agreement during that period, then I'm sorry, I'll have to kick you out of the team."
"make a deal."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Sun Ke's face immediately broke into a smile.
Then, like a child, he clenched his fist and shouted loudly.
Then they followed Lu Yuan toward their place of residence.
As for those who had previously agreed to team up with him, Sun Ke simply told them the team was disbanding and then left.
Those poor wretches are being abandoned once again, but Sun Ke is not reacting at all.
Although Lu Yuan felt disgusted by the other party's behavior, he had to admit that Sun Ke's actions were a very natural attitude for a survivor in the apocalypse.
And so Lu Yuan took Sun Ke to his residence.
The new team members were introduced to Jiang Han and Sofia.
After a brief discussion, the two decided to accept Sun Ke.
Thus, the team became the third newly added member.
