Chapter 54

Li Shenglin grabbed Xu Renying, who was also about to run towards the ladder, and whispered, "Don't go over there. Look, four people are already on that ladder. Let's go through the back door instead!" Seeing that Xu Renying was still hesitant, Li Shenglin added, pointing at Lu Hongzhe, who was running over, "Have you watched 'Infinite Challenge'? Brother Hongzhe is definitely the smartest... "

It has to be said that in this episode, Li Shenglin was learning from Lu Hongzhe's performance style. It's not something that can be mastered in a day or two, like Shi Ge's eloquence. Mingxiu Ge's image didn't suit him, as he couldn't find his own characteristics, so he decided to emulate Brother Hongzhe and be a selfish cheat...

Lu Hongzhe, being a professional fraudster, quickly sensed a kindred spirit in Li Shenglin. They exchanged a glance and then reassured the hesitant Xu Renying, "You're the guest. We'll definitely ensure your screen time. Don't worry!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Thus, Xu Renying, somewhat dazed, followed the two of them towards the back door, completely unaware of the mysterious smiles they exchanged...

The post-production added an animation effect of a little lamb caught between two big wolves for the three of them... Our maknae was already learning to be bad on the first day...

As expected, when they opened the back door, a few zombies walked over. Although there weren't many zombies at the back door, they effectively blocked the exit, making it impossible to force their way out.

Li Shenglin's conscience wouldn't let him abandon Xu Renying just yet. After all, he had been quite rude at the beginning, and he wanted to give her more screen time...

However, suddenly, desperate cries came from the warehouse. Ah, well, better to sacrifice a fellow than to sacrifice oneself. Mingxiu Ge said that 'Infinite Challenge' is all about extreme self-interest. Apologies, then he pushed the still-shocked Xu Renying with all his strength.

She stumbled a few steps and was within the zombies' attack range. The zombies, smelling human flesh, quickly surrounded her...

Taking advantage of the gap, Li Shenglin and Lu Hongzhe quickly ran out of the dangerous area. But Li Shenglin didn't forget to take a jab at Lu Hongzhe, "Brother Hongzhe, how could you do that? Didn't you say you'd ensure the guest's screen time?"

Hearing Li Shenglin's shout, Xu Renying finally realized who had betrayed her. With her last bit of strength, she shouted, "Lu Hongzhe, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!"

Lu Hongzhe was speechless. He never thought he would be the one to be betrayed... This maknae is not simple... Although he didn't know how the writers had set it up, after filming 'Infinite Challenge' for so long, he was sure that the eliminated people would reappear, but he would be the one to draw the attention...

Why did Li Shenglin betray Lu Hongzhe so quickly? Wouldn't it be more successful if the two young men cooperated?

It's simple. He just wanted to take the initiative and show some cleverness, without any strange thoughts. After all, Brother Hongzhe is a "professional fraudster." If he really believed him, he would probably end up like Xu Renying...

Finally, the two of them managed to evade the zombies and board the off-road vehicle prepared by the production team, receiving the task to retrieve the vaccine from the deceased doctor's house!

In the car, the two of them, now temporarily safe, finally had a chance to talk, "Not bad, Shenglin, you've learned the 'Infinite Challenge' style so quickly!"

"What are you talking about, Brother?" He pretended not to understand...

"Wasn't it you who pushed Xu Renying just now?"

"Ah, really me? I was so nervous and got scared by Shi Ge's screams. My mind went blank, and I don't know who did it..." Seeing the look of disdain on Lu Hongzhe's face, "Could it really be me? I'm really sorry to Xu Renying. I was trying to bring her along, but I was a bit rude at the beginning. I feel guilty, and I even made her misunderstand you. I'm really sorry!"

Seeing Li Shenglin's sincere face, Lu Hongzhe magnanimously said it was no big deal, but in his heart, he thought, "Shenglin, you have talent, but you're still too naive..."

After all, they were two young, agile, and quick-witted men. They managed to retrieve the vaccine from the doctor's house without much trouble. Each of them kept one vial of the vaccine. Over time, Li Shenglin's vigilance towards Lu Hongzhe gradually decreased.

This is also why Lu Hongzhe always managed to betray others in the end. Time erodes people's vigilance. After all, it's exhausting to always be on high alert. Lu Hongzhe is a patient person, and now he thought the time for revenge had come.

Li Shenglin, eager to complete the task, ran out of the room first. Then, Lu Hongzhe, who was behind him, shouted, "Shenglin, save me! There's still a zombie here!"

It turned out that the place where the vaccine was stored only had one zombie chained up, which wasn't much of a threat...

At that moment, Li Shenglin couldn't help but be suspicious. On one hand, he wasn't sure if he had enough vaccine, and on the other, the effort they had put in together made him think back to the times when he and his brothers were chased and beaten.

Back then, having someone to rely on made things much easier... After all, it's difficult to face three people alone, but it's much easier to face six with a partner...

In just 0.1 seconds, Li Shenglin turned back and rushed in. As soon as he entered the room, he felt a strong force pulling him to the side. He inwardly cursed himself for being too careless, not expecting Brother Hongzhe to act at that moment.

Fortunately, he had been consistently exercising recently. If it were before, he might have been in danger. He used his core strength to stabilize himself and looked to the right, seeing Lu Hongzhe's surprised face. He didn't know how Brother Hongzhe managed to unlock the zombie's chain and trap it with furniture. If he had been pulled over, and Brother Hongzhe had pushed him... it would have been a tragedy...

Indeed, one can never let their guard down around this guy...

Since you're not being nice, don't blame me for being ruthless. After stabilizing himself, he turned around and pushed Lu Hongzhe towards the zombie, with a calm expression, "Goodbye, Brother Hongzhe!"

The post-production gave a close-up of the two of them, with the caption: "Tough maknae, failed schemer brother!"

...

After enduring numerous hardships, Li Shenglin ultimately failed the mission. It was simply too difficult for one person to continue. The production team hadn't expected two people to survive the first task, and then for one to be eliminated in the second...

In the end, Li Shenglin was "mobbed" to death by the zombies led by Lu Hongzhe, who were a group of vengeful people who knew they had been betrayed...
