My cells devour all worlds.

Lu Sheng had just stepped into the room, which was filled with girlish charm.

Seven or eight pairs of eyes turned to him at the same time.

Curiosity, exploration, disgust... a whole range of emotions were expressed.

Lu Sheng remained expressionless, gently adjusted his glasses, and his eyes, hidden behind the lenses, subtly scanned everyone in the room.

"..."

Even though Lu Sheng had seen the photos beforehand, he was still somewhat surprised when he actually met the Thorn Squad.

It was as if he had come not to the base of an Awakened Squad, but to some kind of 'kindergarten'?

Everywhere I looked, there were petite figures dressed in beautiful clothes.

The tallest he could see was only up to his shoulder, and that was when he was in Lin Yushu's form.

Thin and small, delicate and frail, she seemed completely out of place in this world.

Lu Sheng was speechless.

He couldn't understand where You Xiaoyao had found this group of people.

And who are these weirdos who are awarding the title of "Most Beautiful Squad"?!

Lu Sheng inwardly complained, but outwardly he had already looked the women of the Thorn Squad over again and matched them with the photos and information in his mind.

You Xiayao was not among them.

Just as Lu Sheng turned his gaze to Xiang Lan, about to ask her a question...

His eyes suddenly narrowed.

In a corner of my mind, a spider lying on its web suddenly hissed, causing the web to vibrate.

Malicious warning!!!

He was instantly overwhelmed by a strong sense of malice.

Suddenly, the women in the room gave Lu Sheng a playful smile.

next second.

Everyone moved—those sitting, lying down, standing, and the two sisters, Wu Qianqiu and Wu Qianxue, who had just walked in from the door.

They pulled out guns of various styles from under their skirts, from their clothes, from behind them, from their thighs, and from all sorts of other places.

The dark muzzles of the guns were all pointed at Lu Sheng.

Without the slightest hesitation, the trigger was pulled!

It sounded like someone had thrown a string of lit firecrackers into the room.

Gunfire erupted in an instant, like a barrage of cannonballs!

Bullets came hurtling toward Lu Sheng from all directions.

There was nowhere to escape, nowhere to avoid.

"Bang bang bang bang bang——"

!!!

Lu Sheng's pupils contracted slightly. Had he been discovered? When?!

Before he could figure out where he had slipped up, Lu Sheng's body had already reacted.

The true energy in his meridians flowed rapidly like a long chant, then surged out in an instant, forming an invisible barrier that enveloped him half a meter away from his body.

At the same time, Lu Sheng's eyes began to change, and his muscles began to reorganize.

Just as he was thinking about where to go after killing everyone in front of him.

The first bullet has arrived!

It was so fast that it was difficult to see with the naked eye, until it got within half a meter of Lu Sheng.

With a soft hiss, the bullet seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire, its speed decreasing sharply.

In the blink of an eye, it completely lost its forward momentum, gradually freezing in mid-air and spinning slightly.

At the same time, the bullet head split open, releasing a strange smell.

Why is the bullet's force a bit weak?

This is... a tranquilizer dart?

Lu Sheng sniffed, noticing this unusual situation.

Something seems off.

Lu Sheng was puzzled for a moment, but the strange look in his eyes quickly faded.

With a blink, his pupils returned to their previous state.

But the muscles inside the body quietly transformed into their strongest form, without relaxing.

"laugh……"

Immediately afterwards, the remaining bullets poured in, all crashing into Lu Sheng's true energy barrier and coming to a standstill.

One bullet after another, like a giant net of bullets enveloping Lu Sheng.

No matter how many bullets were added, the net remained stuck half a meter away from Lu Sheng, unable to advance any further.

Only when all the bullets in the magazine were emptied did the women in the room stop what they were doing, their eyes filled with shock.

"They do have some ability."

"It's barely passable."

This was said by Wu Qianxue and Wu Qianqiu.

Lu Sheng ignored what the others were saying. With a thought, bullets filled his field of vision and fell to the ground with a clatter.

At first glance, it probably weighs over ten kilograms and contains several hundred pieces.

Lu Sheng's lips twitched. This guy was treating him like a biological boss.

With the bullets gone, visibility returned.

Lu Sheng immediately looked towards the area leading to the second floor.

There stood a figure, the very person he had come to target – You Xiayao.

The other person was also holding a gun, a gun that was almost as tall as him.

Clearly, those bullets with the strongest force were fired by the other side.

Lu Sheng's face darkened. "Is this how your Thorn Squad treats its guests?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

A sudden gust of wind arose from nowhere, dispersing the anesthetic gas swirling around them.

The wind also caused the clothes of everyone inside the room to flutter.

Several people silently pressed down the hems of their skirts.

"..."

Lu Sheng said he didn't see anything.

Yu Xiaoyao seemed not to hear. She pulled her leg, which she had just used as a support, back off the railing, then casually tossed the gun in her hand out at an angle.

A few brown thorns happened to catch it and carried the gun up to the second floor.

"Clap clap clap..."

"It's just some tranquilizer bullets; at most, you'll get a minor injury, but you won't die."

She clapped her hands, not feeling there was anything wrong with her actions just now, and even had the mood to comment on them.

"Your reaction speed is good; you've passed. The previous people were either too slow, couldn't stop, or were scared out of their wits. Only you are decent."

While praising her, You Xiaoyao had a blank expression, like someone with a poker face.

"..."

Should I thank you?

Lu Sheng almost laughed out of anger; this was truly awful.

"Hurry up and thank Sister Yao."

At this moment, one of the twins at the door spoke up, hands on his hips. Lu Sheng couldn't recognize who it was.

Lu Sheng didn't want to pay attention to it. He stared at You Xiaoyao and said, "Since I meet your team's requirements, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"What kind of sincerity do you want?" You Xiaoyao stopped walking upwards.

"Specific requirements and compensation for this project."

If he was wrong, Lu Sheng would definitely not continue to fool around with these people.

"Didn't I tell you this before?"

You Xiaoyao looked puzzled, then seemed to realize something, "You...you're not feeling a little reluctant, are you?"

He knows nothing.

And what is it that he can't bear to do?

Lu Sheng's mind raced, but he remained outwardly calm. "What happened before is what happened before. Who knows if things have changed? It's best to confirm it again."

"Besides, everyone else doesn't meet the requirements, only me? Shouldn't the conditions be changed?"

Lu Sheng adjusted his glasses and smiled slightly.

He didn't choose to engage in conversation.

"If you can really help me get that thing, what's wrong with giving you a little more profit?"

You Xiaoyao turned to Xiang Lan and said, "Xiang Lan, tell him again."

After saying that, You Xiaoyao went upstairs in a few steps and disappeared around the corner.

"Okay, Sister Yao."

Xiang Lan responded and walked towards Lu Sheng. "Our requirements remain unchanged. You just need to help Sister Yao block the Rose Squad's sniper shots, especially pay attention to Neng Man and who she has given her ability to."

"Of course, it would be even better if we could help others."

Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow; there was indeed a connection between the two.

"What? You really can't bear to do it?"

Seeing the strange look on Lu Sheng's face, Xiang Lan couldn't help but reveal a probing expression.

"How could that be? What would I possibly be reluctant to do?"

Lu Sheng vehemently denied it.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xiang Lan looked at Lu Sheng as if he were trash, saying, "What a heartless man. You used to pursue Neng Man, but now you don't even have a trace of affection left."

"..."
