Chapter 48

In the labyrinth passage, the situation was critical.

"Leader, what should we do?"

Bao Qi was very panicked, cold sweat instantly drenching his back.

"Put on the spore suits!"

Sun Yuan gave the order decisively.

Sixteen in front, more than twenty behind, what could they do now?

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately took out the spore suits they had carried with them, opened them, and put them on.

"What are they doing?"

Liao Wei was puzzled.

What were these purple robes?

Where did they get them from?

Li Minglu felt a heavy heart, sensing something was wrong.

"Stand against the wall, don't block the way!"

Sun Yuan growled, his whole body pressing tightly against the wall like a gecko.

The others followed his example, pressing themselves against the walls.

Dozens of mushroom people rushed to this spot, stopped, and their ugly, terrifying faces turned towards Sun Yuan and his group.

One of them walked up to Bao Qi and pressed its face against hers.

"Can't see me! Can't see me!"

Bao Qi closed her eyes, muttering prayers nonstop.

Out of sheer fear, she broke out in a cold sweat, drenching her clothes.

The others were not much better off.

Zhao Caiwei and Zhao Siyu were so nervous that their legs went weak, and they fell to the ground.

The monsters did not attack them, but the situation was like a pack of mad dogs surrounding them, sniffing around, who knew if they would suddenly attack?

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

"What's going on? Why aren't those mushroom people attacking them?"

Chu Yuntao was surprised.

"It must be because of those clothes!"

Li Minglu guessed.

This Sun Yuan indeed had some tricks up his sleeve. He should have followed him when he first entered the labyrinth to see what he would do!

Li Minglu regretted parting ways with Sun Yuan, but the immediate priority was to solve the current problem.

"Sun Yuan, do you have any extra spore suits?"

Li Minglu shouted.

"None left!"

Sun Yuan wouldn't give them any even if he had.

"Please, help us, can you deal with those monsters?"

Li Minglu's plea was a ruse to lull Sun Yuan and his group, while secretly instructing his companions.

"Yuntao, Lei, Dahao, take their clothes!"

Li Minglu's tone was fierce and cruel.

He was very smart, and he noticed that as time passed, the number of monsters in the labyrinth increased, making it harder for the team to survive. But he still hadn't found a way out of the labyrinth.

This made him very anxious.

Six hours ago, there was an air drop, but they were unlucky and encountered Tang Tang and her two companions. The woman had an assault rifle, and the firepower was too strong. After two of his men died, he had to back off and abandon the supply box.

Now, the situation was even more dangerous.

Li Minglu and his group of over fifty people ran within ten meters of Sun Yuan, and the monsters surrounding Sun Yuan's group were startled, immediately roaring and charging over.

A fierce battle erupted instantly.

In the first clash, five college students were knocked down, and seven were thrown away.

The mushroom people's huge hands swung like doors. A student with a big nose was hit and flew out like a tennis ball hit by a racket, crashing into the labyrinth wall and then falling to the ground, in excruciating pain.

As the mushroom people left to attack Li Minglu's group, Sun Yuan immediately gave the order.

"Run!"

He planned to stay far away and watch the fight, hoping to pick up any dropped maps.

This was a world of the strong preying on the weak, and he had a conflict with Chu Yuntao, so he had no qualms about taking their equipment.

The monsters' combat power was indeed astonishing, but their numbers were not enough to stop all of Li Minglu's group.

Some managed to escape.

Li Lei, taking advantage of his small and agile build, skillfully avoided the mushroom people, broke through the encirclement, and sped up to catch up with Wang Yu. He swung the wooden stick in his hand and struck her on the back of the head.

"Wang Yu, be careful!"

Sun Yuan shouted a warning.

But Wang Yu's reaction was too slow, and she was hit on the back of the neck, causing intense pain and losing her balance, falling to the ground.

Li Lei, having landed a successful hit, struck her head twice more, causing blood to gush out. Then he reached out to tear off her spore suit, trying to remove it.

Wang Yu was completely dazed, but she knew that losing the spore suit meant death, so she clung to it with all her might.

"Damn!"

Li Lei, enraged, sharpened the end of the wooden stick to a point to increase its lethality. Seeing Wang Yu still resisting, he held the stick and stabbed it into her eye.

Pierce!

"Help..."

Wang Yu's cry for help was cut short as the wooden stick pierced her eye and entered her brain.

Wang Yu died.

"Damn!"

Chu Yuntao was entangled by a mushroom person and, seeing his prey about to escape, shouted: "Lu!"

Li Minglu raised his right hand and aimed at Wang Xu, who was closest to him.

Whoosh!

A one-foot-long sleeve arrow shot out and plunged into Wang Xu's back with a thud.

Ah!

Wang Xu screamed and fell to the ground.

Li Minglu moved his right hand, changing targets, and aimed at Bao Qi.

Another sleeve arrow shot out.

Thud!

Bao Qi's calf was hit by the arrow, and she fell to the ground. Li Minglu then changed targets again, this time aiming at Zhao Siyu, but he didn't have time to attack because a boomerang came flying at him, forcing him to dodge.

It was Sun Yuan who had acted.

"Damn it!"

Sun Yuan was furious.

He had finally managed to gather these team members through a combination of kindness and authority, and he was counting on them to contribute. But three of them had been killed without even contributing their remaining value.

This was outrageous.

"Sun Yuan, save me!"

Bao Qi cried out in despair.

A stocky boy with thick lips ran to Bao Qi's side, wielding a two-foot-long, palm-wide machete. Without a word, he swung it like a cleaver, aiming for Bao Qi's neck.

Snap!

Bao Qi's head was severed, her face still showing a look of terror, and blood gushed from her neck, staining the ground.

A strong smell of blood instantly filled the air.

"Qian Hao, well done!"

Chu Yuntao praised.

Qian Hao, who had killed Bao Qi, showed no emotion, like a cold-blooded animal. He tore off her spore suit, put it on, and then lunged at Shen Jingran.

Women, all must die!

Sun Yuan rushed towards the nearest Li Lei, catching a glimpse of Qian Hao's machete and immediately warned: "Everyone, be careful, he has equipment!"

"Brother Li, help me!"

Li Lei, seeing Sun Yuan charging at him, was afraid and shouted for help, running towards Qian Hao.

Among these people, Qian Hao was the strongest and had an excellent weapon.

But Sun Yuan didn't give him a chance.

The special effect of the Street Fighter gloves was activated, and Sun Yuan moved at full speed, like a wave of rage, bringing a gust of wind as he reached Li Lei.

The explosive bat swung down.

Li Lei, not daring to resist, crouched and rolled, while swinging his wooden stick at Sun Yuan's right ankle.

At this moment, he didn't care about the aesthetics of fighting; survival was the top priority.

Sun Yuan's bat missed, and he kicked out with his right leg, aiming at the wooden stick.

Bang!

The wooden stick broke.

Sun Yuan's right leg, still in motion, kicked Li Lei in the shoulder.

Ah!

Li Lei screamed and rolled away.

Sun Yuan took a large step, caught up with Li Lei, and struck with the bat.

Bang!

Li Lei's head shattered, his skull flying out like a golf ball and hitting the wall.

Sun Yuan's first kill!

"Sun Yuan, save me!"

On the other side, Shen Jingran, seeing Qian Hao charging at her, was terrified and ran towards Sun Yuan.

Zhuo Wen, who was closest to Qian Hao, saw him coming and, though nervous and uneasy, did not run away. Instead, he held his gun with both hands and moved forward.

Wave attack.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The silver gun cut through the air.

Qian Hao suddenly darted to the side, dodging the double thrust, and then swung his machete.

Zhuo Wen blocked with his gun.

"Die!"

Qian Hao roared.

Clang!

The machete struck the silver gun, and in an instant, a fast, almost invisible silver arc was released from the machete, rapidly flowing through the gun and up Zhuo Wen's arms, spreading throughout his body.

Ah!

Zhuo Wen screamed, his whole body shaking like a sieve, his hands and feet paralyzed and unable to move.

Swish!

Qian Hao swung his machete, cutting off Zhuo Wen's right forearm.

Ah!

Zhuo Wen screamed.

Just as Qian Hao was about to strike and kill Zhuo Wen, Zhen Yu fired a bird projectile.

Qian Hao, seeing the projectile turn into a bird and charge at him, immediately dodged and blocked with his machete.

Bang!

Qian Hao sliced the angry bird in half, sparks flying. He then tried to continue attacking Zhuo Wen, but Sun Yuan had already arrived.

The bat swung down with force.

Qian Hao raised his machete to block, a victorious smile on his face.

This machete was a rare weapon with powerful additional effects. No matter who attacked him, they would die.
