"Where is it?" Luo Yuan shouted as he climbed up to the fourth floor.
"It's not far from here. Walk along the corridor and you'll find it near the bathroom," the pretty girl said, panting. She wished she could just lie down on the floor.
After running for another 50 to 60 meters, they finally stopped at the door of the small meeting room.
"I don't think we have the key," Huang Jiahui said disappointedly.
"No need." Luo Yuan looked at the solid wooden door and slammed it with his shoulder.
"Bang!" The door was slammed open.
They walked into the meeting room. It was only 50 to 60 square meters, but it was decorated like a small classroom. Luo Yuan looked around and moved a few tables to block the door. The room quickly became dark.
Huang Jiahui quickly turned on the lights and the exhaust fan, then sat down on the chair, looking exhausted.
"I'm so tired. Why aren't Director Sun and Shen here yet? Qianqian, you were the last one. Did you see them? "She had just noticed that two people were missing in the room.
"They're still behind. Director Sun and Shen Xiu left together. They should be here soon," Cao Qianqian said after thinking for a while.
"Shen Xiu really knows how to suck up to people," a young man in a checkered shirt said disdainfully.
"Zhao Tianming, you don't have to say bad things about others. You can do it if you want to show off," Cao Qianqian retorted, not blaming Zhao Tianming for his sarcasm.
"Stop talking, you two. You might attract the insects," Huang Jiahui said softly.
Their hearts tightened and they immediately stopped talking.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from outside.
Cao Qianqian was happy and wanted to move the table away.
Luo Yuan quickly pulled her back, "Don't be rash. Listen carefully, it's not a human's footsteps."
The sound was clear and rhythmic, like someone was hitting the ground with a nail at a certain frequency. They listened for a while and suddenly turned pale.
"Stay here. There's only one green beetle outside, so we're relatively safe." He originally planned to hide here and wait for the insect swarm to pass, but the information that suddenly appeared in his mind changed his mind.
"Triggered E- Level Mission: Kill 10 green beetles. Time limit: 3 days. Cancel. "
"F * ck, they're forcing me into a dead end!"
Luo Yuan cursed, but he still accepted the mission. Right now, he was only a step away from reaching Level 5. As long as he completed this quest, he would be able to level up immediately. At that time, whether it was an Attribute Point or 5 Skill Points, he would be able to increase his level immediately. His strength would be greatly enhanced once again.
Moreover, at this time, even if he didn't accept the mission, it might not be completely safe. Since that was the case, he might as well happily accept the mission.
The clear footsteps were getting closer and closer. When they were near the door, the sound suddenly stopped. Everyone held their breath, not daring to move. The air in the room seemed to have frozen.
The next moment, a sharp noise came from the solid wooden door in front of them. The green beetles seemed to be scratching the wooden door with their sharp legs.
What was even more frightening was the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor. It was another green beetle.
"What do we do now, Luo?" Huang Jiahui asked nervously. She knew Luo Yuan's ability, and he was the only one among them with a weapon.
Luo Yuan thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid this door won't last long. We need to kill the two green beetles outside. If they come in, some of us will die."
"Don't open the door! Are you trying to get us killed?" Zhao Tianming quickly lowered his voice and said, "They won't be able to come in. We have so many people here, and there are tables and chairs. We can definitely block the door."
"Yes, let's move the tables. Hurry, hurry, or it'll be too late!" Cao Qianqian said quickly. She did not want to take any risks, so she quickly ran to move the tables. Zhao Tianming hurried over to help her.
Luo Yuan was conflicted. On one hand, he needed to kill the green beetles to complete the mission. This was undoubtedly the best time to do so. He could take advantage of this time to kill them one by one and complete the mission. On the other hand, he knew that once the door was opened, the green beetles would rush in and hurt the innocent people. Some of them might even die. Would he kill innocent people for the sake of the mission?
Although Luo Yuan's mentality had changed a lot from before the incident, he was not completely ruthless.
"Why are you still standing there? Come and move the tables! "Zhao Tianming said unhappily when he saw Luo Yuan standing there.
Luo Yuan did not want to argue with him, so he walked over to move the tables.
"You only have a knife, and you only know how to act cool!" Zhao Tianming muttered when he saw Luo Yuan moving the tables. Cao Qianqian, who was standing the furthest away, heard him.
Luo Yuan's expression darkened. He stopped and turned around to walk towards Zhao Tianming.
He was not a calculative person who could not stand being humiliated. It was just that the presence of such a person during this dangerous time was like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any time.
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Tianming's expression changed as he tried to put on a strong front.
"Xiao Luo, don't be impulsive. Zhao Tianming, apologize. " Huang Jiahui knew that Luo Yuan had practiced martial arts, so if they fought, Zhao Tianming would definitely be at a disadvantage.
"Why should I apologize? I didn't say anything," Zhao Tianming said stubbornly.
"Don't worry, I just want to tell him something," Luo Yuan said calmly, stopping Huang Jiahui from intervening.
"I'm afraid you don't know this, but about ten days ago, six or seven gangsters tried to provoke me, and I killed them one by one. Yesterday, someone shot me in the back, and I cut off his hand. In the end, I used this knife to stab him in the stomach, and even his intestines were cut.
Do you want to give it a try? "
Luo Yuan's cold and murderous voice sounded like it came from hell. Zhao Tianming felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly. The strong fear made his legs weak, and he almost fell to the ground. His back was drenched in sweat.
Zhao Tianming would not have been so weak, but as Luo Yuan spoke, Luo Yuan focused his mind and generated his own aura. Zhao Tianming was just an ordinary person, so naturally, he collapsed.
"Remember, if you don't have the guts and the corresponding strength, don't provoke others. Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death," Luo Yuan said coldly.
"You … you've killed someone before?" Cao Qianqian regretted as soon as she said it. She was so nervous that she did not dare to look at him.
These people all worked in government departments. They had stable jobs and sufficient food supply, so most of their consciousness was still stuck in the past. Even if they were mentally aware of the chaos they were in now, they did not have a deep understanding of it.
"So many people die in the city every day. Who cares if they were killed by mutated beasts or humans?" Luo Yuan looked back at her and said indifferently.
Cao Qianqian kept quiet out of fear and did not dare to interrupt again.
"Alright, don't scare Qianqian," Huang Jiahui said. She turned to Cao Qianqian and said, "He's doing this to protect himself. It's legal self-defense."
If a person had a good impression of another person, no matter how bad the other person had done, it would be glorified in her eyes. She did not even realize that ever since Luo Yuan had appeared, she had been secretly delighted.
After a while, there were more and more footsteps outside. It was impossible to tell how many there were. The whole corridor was filled with messy footsteps.
The solid wood door kept shaking, and a long, semi-transparent foot came through the gap of the door.
Cao Qianqian covered her mouth in horror, tears welling up in her eyes.
Luo Yuan saw this and immediately stepped forward. He pushed the door hard, but the foot was stuck in the door.
The foot was very hard, so it did not break even when it was caught by the door.
"You come here and hold the door?" Luo Yuan said coldly to Zhao Tianming.
After being threatened by Luo Yuan, Zhao Tianming was afraid of angering him again. When he heard Luo Yuan's order, he walked over in shock and fear.
People bullied the kind and feared the evil. If you talked nicely, people would not listen to you. Instead, they would think that you were easy to bully. However, if you were tough, or even threatened them with your life, they would immediately become obedient and try to please you.
Luo Yuan waited for Zhao Tianming to hold the door.
He pulled out his Zhanmadao, and in front of Zhao Tianming's fearful eyes, the Zhanmadao flashed like a snow-white waterfall as it chopped down towards that pointed foot.
Surprisingly, even with the sharpness of his Zhanmadao, it did not break in one hit. It was only halfway through before it was exhausted. Although he did not use his full strength, its defense was far stronger than that of the Rat King he had met before.
The green beetle was stimulated by the pain, and it made a strange sound like boiling water, hitting the door crazily. Luo Yuan pulled out his long knife and slashed at the same spot. Only then did he manage to cut off the foot.
He picked up the foot-long sharp green foot. Unlike its body, it was slightly translucent, smooth and delicate to the touch, with a hard texture. If he had not been sure that it had been cut from a green beetle, he would have thought it was a piece of jade art.
He did not have to use much strength to get the foot stuck on the table. It would have been easier to stick it into a human body.
"Green Beetle's Foot"
"Function: Material"
"Rarity: Light Blue"
"Weight: 50 grams"
"Comment: It's very hard and sharp. Maybe you can use it to make weapons."
"Light Blue!"
Although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but curse when the truth was placed in front of him. Light blue creatures again, and there were countless of them. Could it be that light blue creatures were becoming less and less valuable? Why were there so many of them now?
F * ck. An E- Level Mission was not easy to complete. It required him to kill ten creatures like the Rat King or the giant snake. Just thinking about it made him feel hopeless.
He pulled out the foot and threw it to Huang Jiahui. "Sister Huang, take this. You can use it to defend yourself."
Huang Jiahui had been a police officer before, so she was mentally stronger than most people. Her Will should be around 10 to 11. She was at least stronger than an ordinary person, so she would definitely be braver than the other two.
Huang Jiahui took the foot and said happily, "Thank you!"
Zhao Tianming and Cao Qianqian looked envious, but they did not say anything. After all, they were not close to Luo Yuan, and one of them had just had a conflict with him.
The green beetle kept hitting the table, making loud noises.
Zhao Tianming could not take it anymore. He was sweating profusely. "I'm running out of energy. Cao Qianqian, help me."
Cao Qianqian peeked at Luo Yuan and then at Huang Jiahui. She walked over hesitantly.
"Wait!" Luo Yuan had an idea. "We can't go on like this. Sister Huang and Qianqian, you two stay away. Zhao Tianming, don't use all your strength. Leave a gap for the green beetle to come in. I'll finish it off."
"Brother Luo, are you sure you can do it?" Zhao Tianming wanted to refuse, but he did not dare to do so.
"Don't worry. I don't do things that I'm not sure about," Luo Yuan said.
Zhao Tianming felt slightly relieved. He secretly swore in his heart. If he died, then he died. There was nothing to be afraid of. He relaxed a little.
The gap between the door and the insect got bigger. A black, whip-like tentacle was the first to come in. It pushed against the door with its body, and the gap was getting bigger. Soon, its head was squeezed in. The bowl-sized, complicated mouth looked like a sophisticated instrument. It kept opening and closing, making people shiver.
Zhao Tianming's heart was in his throat. He could not help but want to run away. Suddenly, he saw a cold light flash in front of him, and then he heard a short, strange sound.
"Close the door!"
Zhao Tianming was relieved when he heard Luo Yuan's order. He quickly closed the door, turned around, and leaned his back against the table. He sat on the floor, motionless.
