The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

"Damn! There's a monster!"

"There's more! There's more!"

"Don't push! Stand still and fight!"

The formation was instantly disrupted, resulting in several deaths and injuries.

There were two more corpses on the ground, and three more people were injured, with blood flowing down their arms.

Wang Kehua's face darkened. He drew his short sword and faced the minotaur head-on. He dodged the first blow, then slashed from the side, his short sword plunging deep into the minotaur's neck.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes… The minotaur let out a muffled roar, swinging its hammer wildly, but Wang Kehua was much faster. He circled the minotaur halfway, then plunged his short knife into the back of its neck, severing its spine. The minotaur's body stiffened abruptly, then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Wang Kehua shook the blood off his knife and took a few breaths.

He had a wound on his arm, inflicted by the minotaur in his death throes. It wasn't deep, but blood trickled down his arm. He glanced at the minotaur's corpse on the ground, then at his injured arm, his expression grim.

The members of the elite team looked at Wang Kehua with a hint of envy.

Level four monsters—they took them ages to defeat even one, but Wang Kehua took care of it all by himself. Although he was slightly injured, he had won nonetheless. That was the difference in strength. While envious, they also felt a surge of confidence… With Wang Kehua around, no matter how strong that man with the spear was, he couldn't possibly cause any trouble, right?

But then, anger surged up. They looked at Su Mu... that man had been standing on the high platform under the eaves of the building by the street since the beginning, looking down at everything as if he were watching a play that had nothing to do with him.

Those monsters were most likely lured here by him. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? They arrived just as the monsters appeared?

Wang Kehua's gaze also fell on Su Mu. His brows were furrowed tightly.

He noticed something... Su Mu hadn't been injured at all from the moment he left until now.

As the monsters rushed past him, he didn't move an inch, simply standing on the high platform. The monsters ran right past his feet, completely ignoring him. Could this person's talent be related to "luring monsters"? Or perhaps some kind of ability that allows him to avoid being attacked by monsters?

If that's the case, then this person is very useful. Wang Kehua thought of that blood-red vine... They had been trapped here for almost four hours and hadn't found a way to break through.

If they can use this person to distract the vines or find their weakness, their chances of breaking out of this area will be much greater.

We can't kill them. At least not now.

Wang Kehua took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was rising within him.

He glanced at Su Mu, then at Lin Xiaohe, and then noticed the look in their eyes.

Su Mu's gaze made him feel uncomfortable all over.

It wasn't provocation, nor contempt, but a pure, emotionless indifference. Like someone standing high above watching ants fight below—no tension, no anger, just observation. The strength he had just displayed... single-handedly killing a level four minotaur... seemed utterly insignificant in this person's eyes.

What annoyed Wang Kehua even more was Lin Xiaohe.

She stood up, dusted herself off, and didn't even glance at Wang Kehua or Li Shichu. Her gaze swept over everyone, landing on Su Mu, and she stared at him for a few seconds, as if waiting for something.

At that moment, Su Mu nodded slightly.

Then Lin Xiaohe raised her gun.

They targeted Li Shichu.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The three gunshots rang out almost in quick succession.

Li Shichu's reaction was astonishingly fast... or rather, he had been on guard from the moment Lin Xiaohe looked at Su Mu.

He flipped his hands, and a huge shield appeared out of thin air in front of him.

The shield was entirely silver-white, with intricate patterns on its surface, gleaming coldly in the sunlight. Three bullets struck the shield, sending up three sparks; the bullets deformed and fell to the ground.

Li Shichu hid behind the shield, his heart pounding. He had almost missed his chance.

Shame and indignation welled up from the bottom of his heart... Being publicly mocked by Wang Kehua was already humiliating enough, but now this woman had shot him in front of all his men, and he could only hide behind his shield, not daring to even show his head.

But he dared not show it. With Wang Kehua here, his life or death rested in Wang Kehua's hands. He gritted his teeth and held the shield even more firmly.

"Oh shit."

Wang Kehua cursed. He knew he had to make a decision.

So many brothers are watching, and the other side killed several of their men... Whether this guy was useful or not, the result was that their men died while the other side was still standing there unharmed.

If he doesn't take action soon, these people's morale will crumble. How will he, as the vice-captain, lead them in the future?

"You guys, go deal with that woman." Wang Kehua waved his hand behind him. "She doesn't have many bullets left. Once she runs out, she'll be out of options."

Seven or eight people surrounded Lin Xiaohe.

Lin Xiaohe retreated to the corner, pointing her gun forward and firing occasionally to deter anyone who tried to approach.

We don't have many bullets, but enough to last for a while.

Those people weren't in a hurry to rush in; they were waiting... waiting for Lin Xiaohe to run out of bullets, and waiting for Wang Kehua to finish off Su Mu before coming to help.

Wang Kehua stopped looking at Lin Xiaohe. He turned around and faced Su Mu.

Su Mu stood on the high platform, his spear hanging at his side. The way he looked at Wang Kehua was exactly the same as before... as calm as a stagnant pool, devoid of anything.

Wang Kehua stared at those eyes for two seconds, a vague unease rising in his heart.

He decided to find out Su Mu's background first. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the detector... exactly the same as the one Li Shichu had used before, with jet-black lenses and fine textures on the surface.

When Li Shichu used the detector to measure Su Mu, the detector exploded, and his eyes were burned.

Wang Kehua knew about this, but he thought it was because Li Shichu was too weak. A level-two squad leader who couldn't even use the detector properly, how could he compare to him? He didn't believe Su Mu could have any effect on his detector. His mental strength was much stronger than Li Shichu's, and his equipment was much better.

He held the detector up to his eyes and aimed it at Su Mu.

A string of data appeared on the lens.

Sure enough, Li Shichu was just too weak.

However, the moment this thought crossed his mind, Wang Kehua's pupils suddenly contracted.
