My cells devour all worlds.

"You son of a bitch..."

Lu Jie wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a dark gun barrel was pressed against his forehead.

A cold, hard sensation came from my forehead.

gun!

Lu Jie's pupils contracted, his body stiffened, and he suddenly couldn't utter a word.

Lu Sheng's index finger was on the trigger, his eyes narrowed, as if he was about to fire a shot at any moment. "According to the laws of the inner city, if you continue to harass us without cause, I have the right to retaliate."

Based on what the other party just said, Lu Sheng is now absolutely certain that the news of Yu Qingyi's purification ability was leaked.

Surprisingly, someone came looking for trouble so quickly after smelling the scent.

Yu Qingyi is now his important dining partner. Without her purification ability, his speed of becoming stronger will probably be cut by more than half.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng's killing intent intensified, and his index finger twitched slightly.

This startled Lu Jie so much that he shuddered and dropped the cigarette from his mouth.

But Lu Jie had no time to care. He stared intently at Lu Sheng's gun-wielding hand, his previous arrogance completely gone.

He swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly. "Brother, let's... talk this out. If you kill me, you definitely won't survive either."

He didn't know if what Lu Sheng said was true, but he didn't dare to gamble; his life was his own.

Although he was a Level 1 Awakened, he would definitely not survive being shot in the head at such close range.

Lu Sheng coldly uttered a single word, "Get lost—"

He certainly wouldn't actually make a move in the inner city; his previous statement was just a ruse.

"Okay, okay, I'll get out of here right now..."

With a gun pointed at his forehead, Lu Jie dared not retaliate and could only slowly back away. Once he had created some distance, he hurriedly ran back.

He didn't stop until he ran back to the gate of his small courtyard. His legs were still trembling, and his back was soaked with sweat.

At this moment, Hu Bang walked out of the yard, glanced at Lu Jie, and burst out laughing, "Hahaha, old chicken, what's wrong with you? Didn't you go to recruit the people next door? Why are you like this?"

Lu Jie took a breath and turned around, but there was no sign of Lu Sheng and the other two.

Upon hearing Hu Bang's words again, he couldn't help but recall what had just happened, and his face turned pale and then red.

"Damn, I was just pointed a gun at me by that newbie and almost died."

Upon hearing this, Hu Bang's smile vanished, and he frowned, asking, "What's going on?"

Before long, all five official members of the Rampage Squad arrived in the living room.

Lu Jie recounted what had just happened in front of everyone, inevitably embellishing and exaggerating the events.

In short, he was sincere and earnest, but the other party was unreasonable and dismissive.

"...That's how it is."

"Damn, you just said those two girls were really pretty?"

Hu Bang immediately grasped the key point.

Lu Jie nodded: "It really looks good, kid, I was just kidding."

The two people next to them were successfully swayed and couldn't help but ask, "How good is it?"

Lu Jie thought for a moment, "Hmm...similar to those girls in the Rose Squad..."

"Oh? If that's what you're saying, then they really are beautiful. Those girls in the Rose Squad may be fierce, but they are undeniably beautiful."

"Hehe, it seems we have to try and get it."

"Oh ho ho..."

The living room seemed to have turned into a monkey den, filled with the lewd cries of several people.

"..."

Lin Yushu, who had been silent until now, had veins bulging on his forehead. He slammed his hand on the table. "Shut up! Is this the time to talk about this?"

The four were startled. Seeing that it was their leader who spoke, they chuckled awkwardly and quickly sat back down on the sofa.

Lin Yushu's expression softened a bit. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Lu Jie. "Second brother, you've been tricked. There's no such law in the inner city. As long as you don't lay a hand on him, you'll only be fined a little money at most. He won't dare to fire a shot."

"Damn it, this little brat dared to lie to me? I'm going to find him right now."

The thought of being scared into submission and losing face by a lie was too much for Lu Jie to bear, so he immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Wait, second brother, do you know where they went?"

Lin Yushu called out to Lu Jie.

Lu Jie replied, "It looks like they're going to rent a car from Old Luo."

"Rent a car? Then let's make sure they can't rent one, let's make sure they can't do anything. I don't believe they can refuse."

……

Luo's Car Dealership.

Luo Bowen was inspecting the engine of the vehicle in front of him with repair tools. He glanced at Lu Sheng and his two companions who had come to rent the car and said casually:

"Young man, you think you can afford to rent a car?"

"Cars are reserved for experienced Awakened teams. Newcomers like you get motorcycles."

As he spoke, he gestured to the few remaining battle-damaged motorcycles in the corner.

"That's all we have. Guaranteed to be functional. Rental fee is 100 points per day, including a tank of gas. Deposit is 500. Want to rent?"

"..."

Lu Sheng looked at the motorcycle, which had been repaired countless times and had no other advantages besides being able to run, and his lips twitched.

He refused, saying, "No need, I don't like it."

It would be difficult for even two people to sit there, let alone three people carrying things.

If you find something while you're out, you don't know where to put it.

Another crucial point is that Lu Sheng doesn't have that much money—the rent plus the deposit is 600 points.

He just bought his necessities yesterday, and now he has less than 500 Hope Coins, not even enough to rent the worst car.

The cars are probably even less of a question.

It seems he needs to find a way to earn some money first.

Upon hearing this, Luo Bowen smiled meaningfully, said nothing more, and continued repairing his car.

As Lu Sheng was pondering whether there were any other solutions, he suddenly felt someone tug at his sleeve. He turned around and found it was Yu Qingyi.

She seemed to have figured something out and whispered, "Brother Lu, why don't we go check out another newly opened car dealership? I heard they offer discounts and even accept car-sharing."

Divide into?

Lu Shenggang was about to agree.

Just then.

With the sound of an engine, a familiar pickup truck drove up and stopped in front of Lu Sheng and his two companions.

"If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. Why say you don't like it?"

Lu Jie got out of the car from the driver's seat with a smile on his face.

He glanced at Lu Sheng, then his gaze quickly settled on Yu Qingyi and the other person.

"Ladies, what future do you have following him? He can't even afford to rent a car. Are you going to walk the whole way to the wasteland? Why don't you join our Rampage Squad? We have our own cars."

As he spoke, Lu Jie patted the hood of the pickup truck and loudly addressed Luo Bowen beside him:

"Old Luo, give our car a service later. Same as always, put it on our Rampage Squad's tab."

"That's right, that's right. Two beauties, come join our Rampage Squad! We'll give you the treatment of a vice-captain, and a dozen or so underlings to do whatever you want with them."

In the passenger seat and the back seat, Hu Bang and the other two who had come along also chimed in.

Upon seeing Yu Qingyi and the other person, their eyes lit up, and they believed Lu Jie's words.

"Idiot."

Lu Sheng glanced at the group and uttered two words.

"Have you forgotten the lesson you just learned so quickly?"

If it weren't for the rules of the inner city, Lu Sheng would have really wanted to take action.

This so-called "Rampage Squad" is like a mangy dog, just disgusting.

Lu Sheng silently wrote down the names of the group in his notebook.

"Damn it, who are you calling an idiot?"

The car door opened, and Hu Bang and the other two got out one by one, staring at Lu Sheng with hostile eyes.

"Eh."

Lu Jie reached out to stop him, making it seem as if it was his turn.

"Heh, you can't scare me this time."

Lu Jie walked up to Lu Sheng, leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said in a sinister tone:

"I've remembered what happened before. You better stay in the inner city for the rest of your life and never leave, or if you do, I'll kill you..."
