National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

"How is it?"

After a while, when Sixth Master still hadn't heard any noise outside, he asked in the team channel.

"I didn't have many left. After killing one, the rest ran away."

Ivan's voice sounded a bit annoyed.

"Me too......"

In the background of the butcher's reply, there was a crisp "snap" sound of something being cut.

"It's been resolved!"

"The target in the fan-shaped area behind me has disappeared; the threat is over."

Judging from the tidal wave-like pattering sound just now, there couldn't have been only a few monsters. The rest...

Hearing Camilla say the same thing, Chi Lian also turned on her microphone:

"Where did those dancing weirdos go? There weren't many behind me!"

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the channel.

"Boss?"

Aurora's voice sounded somewhat anxious:

"Boss, are you alright?"

Two seconds later.

A series of loud clattering sounds like ping-pong balls came from the channel, along with Ren Yi's slightly breathless but still relatively steady voice:

"It's me, I'm alright."

"Squeak... Crack... Bang!"

The sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground and the screeching of metal being cut were incessant.

"...I'm a bit busy, I'll talk to you later."

Communication was unilaterally cut off.

"Depend on!"

That madman!

Chi Lian slammed her fist into the monster's head, cursing through gritted teeth:

"What's with this talk of individual heroism? Don't you know there's strength in numbers?"

On the other end.

The crew members in the "Garden" felt their blood rush to their heads and their heads buzzing.

Where are you going?

Sixth Master reached out and stopped Klaus, who was leading the way out.

"Let's go find someone."

Aurora pushed his arm away with such force that even his prosthetic body was forced down.

"Calm down, there's no point in you going out now!"

"What do you know! Let him do as he pleases..."

"I know he's important to us too."

The executive officer interrupted him impatiently.

If Renyi dies, their temporary team will fall apart, and the success rate of the S-level mission will approach zero. From his own perspective, he must protect Renyi.

"But the current situation is that the structure of this floor has changed. We are at a fixed coordinate point here. If we leave, even if we find the person, we won't be able to get back the way we came."

"So far, everything he has done has been proactive. We just need to stay here and wait for him to open the communication channel and speak again."

"But......"

"He's right."

Nathan, unusually serious, grabbed the nun with one hand and pulled Sean back as he was about to push open the door with the other.

"Have you forgotten our boss's trump card? If we lose it, it'll be a waste of time and effort to find us."

"..."

The group dejectedly retreated to their original spot, but Sean immediately noticed something was missing and looked around frantically.

"Wait... what about 073?"

......

In a corridor, a figure was running through the darkness, with a "tap-tap-tap" sound chasing closely behind.

Renyi has adapted to the darkness.

"puff."

[Raven] stabs a monster that has fallen from the ceiling through the neck with a backhand.

He didn't even look at the outcome and continued his escape.

The wound on my left arm hadn't healed, and now half of my sleeve was stained red.

The smell of blood can make monsters even more frenzied, locking their hatred firmly onto themselves. If they are allowed to disperse...

The others are in danger.

He intended to lure the monster away and find a slightly more open space to unleash [Flare], but unexpectedly, since he rushed into this corridor, he had already turned left three times and right twice, but the corridor in front of him was still exactly the same as when he first broke in.

I don't know if this floor itself is a maze, or if the space has been distorted, becoming a constantly replicating prison.

"Tap tap tap!"

There's another corner ahead.

Three ballet monsters gracefully tiptoed and twirled, blocking his path.

He didn't stop walking at all.

"puff."

With a thud, a spider web was stuck to both of their faces.

But the purpose of this arbitrary action is not control, but rather...

[Decomposition successful]

You have obtained: Spider Silk*1, Simple Mask*2

The faceless monster touched its face in disbelief and froze in place.

Taking advantage of their distraction, I kicked them away one by one, and was just about to turn a corner and continue my mad dash...

"Squeak..."

A door on the left suddenly opened, and a deep, hoarse male voice came from the darkness:

"If you don't want to die, come in now."

stranger?

Make a decision within a fraction of a second: stay outside, at most circle around a few more test subjects; go inside, and you'll encounter an unknown source of information.

Enter!

He grabbed his left sleeve with his right hand and ripped it open with a "rip," then threw it into the depths of the corridor. In a flash, he darted into the half-open door.

"Bang."

The door closed behind me.

But Ren Yi did not let his guard down. He could sense that another living being was breathing steadily and powerfully, just three meters away from him.

Is he friend or foe?

Treat everything as a potential threat: take it down first, then worry about the rest.

Without any pre-cast animation, I casually turned the Raven around and gripped it in reverse, then used my feet to propel myself straight towards the location of that breath.

The person did not retreat.

Instead, he precisely raised his arm in the darkness to block any wrist.

He casually sheathed his sword and twisted his body, striking his opponent's ribs with his left elbow, but it sounded like he had hit a steel plate with a "thud".

The two exchanged blows in the darkness, with Ren Yi not going all out, and his opponent merely defending and countering.

interesting.

A powerful flashlight appeared out of thin air in Renyi's left hand. He pushed the switch with his thumb, intending to use the bright light to disrupt the opponent's formation.

however.

At the very moment he pressed the switch!

"Snapped!"

The light strips regained their brightness, and the room instantly became as bright as day.

The retina, which had adapted to the darkness, went blank for a moment when it was suddenly stimulated by the light.

He instinctively closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the other party was completely unaffected by the light, and a gust of wind struck his wrist.

"Snapped!"

The raven slipped from my hand and landed with a clatter.

One hand gripped his still-numb wrist and twisted it outwards, while the other hand pinched his shoulder like an iron clamp and pressed him down.

"Click."

A standard grappling technique.

Ren Yi's face was pressed against the floor, his right arm was tied behind his back, and the knee behind him was pressed against his back.

Wow, you're a trained fighter.

Only when he makes no further moves can one be certain that this person has no ill intentions for the time being.

He moved his face with difficulty:

"Um... thank you so much for saving my life."

The man above was stunned, as if taken aback by the speed of the sliding kneeling motion. He then applied even more force, his tone full of absurdity:

"You know I'm saving you, and you still attack me?!"

"Hiss... I'm scared. I've been chased for too long, and I'm overreacting."

"..."

After a brief silence, the man got off him and gave him a light kick.

"The 'actors' are all gone, you can get out now."
