Please, graduates, slay the demon!

Humans have a primal fear.

In the dark, if something dangerous is chasing you, if someone shouts "Run!" and is the first to rush out, the others will often instinctively follow the first person and try their best not to fall behind.

Sticking together in times of danger is a basic human instinct.

Therefore, as long as Hu Yunyun walks at the front, a large crowd will follow her.

Her team was trying to control their pace so that most people could keep up without realizing that she was not actually seriously injured.

The sprint lasted for a full five minutes. The people in Lin Zhengze's team began to pant, the effects of the drug were about to wear off, and their physical strength was nearing its limit.

At this moment, Lin Zhengze began to survey the other branch routes at the alley entrance, preparing to slip into one of them during his escape.

We can't keep running after Hu Yunyun. If the whole team is completely exhausted, Luo Ping, whom we just targeted, will definitely kill us.

Damn it, I just got ambushed, and now this happens again. Why am I so unlucky!

Is there anything more unlucky than this in the world?

At the very back of the line was Luo Ping's team.

He had been observing these people's condition for a long time.

Lin Zhengze and the others were about to run out of energy, while Hu Yunyun and the others were seriously injured.

As long as they stop, I will deal with Lin Zhengze's team, who just retaliated against me. Hu Yunyun and the others are seriously injured and will definitely not be able to resist. I can easily rob their supplies.

In this way, not only did he not lose anything, he even made a lot of money.

After finishing this job, he would stay in these intricate alleys until dawn, waiting for the veteran to come find him. Then he would consider himself a victor in this night of recruit training.

Luo Ping felt his plan was perfect. He turned around and gestured to his teammates following behind him, meaning:

Count the number of people and get ready to start.

The teammate nodded, then turned and began counting off.

"one."

"two."

"three."

"..."

"fifteen."

"sixteen."

"..."

"Um?"

The teammate suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Recite the numbers again."

"one."

"two."

"three."

"..."

"fifteen."

"sixteen."

"..."

The two counts yielded the same result.

The teammate felt his hair stand on end, and an unprecedented fear surged into his heart.

"What happened? Has anyone gotten separated from the group?"

Luo Ping made a gesture to his teammates.

Luo Ping saw his teammate nod and then shake his head; he didn't quite understand the gesture.

"What happened?"

This time, Luo Ping couldn't help but ask directly.

"Boss... the number doesn't match... but no one is missing from the team..."

"Why are you panicking if there's no shortage of staff?"

"Boss, I wouldn't be this worried about people falling behind. Our team isn't short of people, in fact... we even have two extra..."

"Oh." Luo Ping nodded, somewhat confused. "Wait, what did you say? Two more!"

Why are there two extra of them out of nowhere?

Could it be that someone in Lin Zhengze and Hu Yunyun's team was too slow and managed to sneak into my team?

Thinking of this, Luo Ping and his teammate began to count the number of people. The number of people in Hu Yunyun and Lin Zhengze's team was completely normal.

Instantly, a chill ran through Luo Ping's heart.

He turned to look behind him and angrily rebuked:

"Look at everyone around you, isn't anyone's face unfamiliar? A rat's snuck in!"

As the teammates behind them stared at each other, wide-eyed and trying to make out the faces of the people around them, someone suddenly chopped a teammate in the neck with a chop, knocking two or three people unconscious in an instant.

"Something's wrong...something's wrong! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Luo Ping was on high alert and shouted desperately, trying to get Lin Zhengze and Hu Yunyun in front of him to stop and face this unexpected situation together.

"Aaaaaahh ...

Luo Ping was met with screams from ahead.

"What the hell happened now?!"

Luo Ping shouted angrily, only to find that there was no road ahead. He had reached the end of the alley, where ten strangers were standing.

Then, Hu Yunyun and the others stopped running.

The people in her group and the strangers hiding in the alley simultaneously dropped their backpacks, drew long knives from their waists, and indiscriminately slashed at Lin Zhengze and the others who were exhausted.

In an instant, everyone in the middle line collapsed.

"Damn it, we've fallen for their trap! Kill them all!"

Luo Ping directed his team to break through the encirclement behind them. Turning his head, he saw two masked men in black grabbing a teammate's head and slamming it against the wall.

Only after their teammate was completely knocked unconscious did the two slowly stop.

At this moment.

The once impressive group was now reduced to just Luo Ping.

Damn it!

What's going on?!

How could this happen!

How could everyone have disappeared in an instant!

Luo Ping was furious, but reason prevailed over anger.

There were more than twenty people in front of Hu Yunyun; he couldn't take them down.

Although there were only two people behind them, they were also new recruits on the list, yet they were taken down in one fell swoop, which means that the opponent's skill level was among the top thirty.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ping unfastened his backpack, discarded his battle sword, and raised his hands above his head:

"I surrender."

"I refuse."

"what?"

"What? I said, I refuse."

One of the masked men said something, then shouted at Hu Yunyun in the distance:

"We don't need that many actors. Just break everyone's bones, give them a bone-breaking pill to keep them alive, and let the legion's medical department treat the rest. If there are too many people, we won't be able to distribute the meat properly."

Hu Yunyun nodded: "I'll listen to you."

Just as the two were talking, Luo Ping, knowing he couldn't escape, used his toe to hook the battle sword that had fallen to the ground.

After gripping the sword with one hand, he swung it at one of the masked men.

Neither Luo Pengfei nor Zhang Xianzhong held back this time, both of them hiding behind their masks. One of them unleashed his full power, while the other leaped across rooftops and landed behind Luo Ping.

Luo Ping might not even be a match for Zhang Xianzhong in a one-on-one fight, let alone in a group brawl like this.

He was oversimplifying things.

Then came the sound of the skull cracking.

"Um... you two should probably tone it down... I'm afraid you might accidentally kill someone."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we are all good people who know our place."

As Hu Yunyun watched Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Pengfei beat Luo Ping from behind, she subconsciously swallowed and suddenly realized that she was still lucky.

When Zhang Xianzhong was beating Luo Ping, he had his back to Hu Yunyun and the others. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, he removed the jade thumb ring from Luo Ping's hand.

Then, he dumped all the wounded in the alley on the other side.

"Alright, let's distribute the spoils now. There are over forty people in total, but this group has more supplies, so let's give them a bigger reward..."

Luo Pengfei distributed ten spirit stones and six bottles of Qi and Blood Pills to each person in Hu Yunyun's team.

The extras were very happy.

Based on the current number of people, if they attract a few more waves of customers, they will not only break even but also make a profit.

Moreover, being in this alleyway with the protection of experts means there's no need to worry about supplies being stolen.

Sometimes misfortune turns into blessing; being robbed can be a happy thing.

"Actors, please take your positions. Everyone, keep up the good work! It's been one hour and twenty minutes since the first night of recruits. I estimate we can grab two or three more waves before we can retire from this business."

After distributing the supplies, Zhang Xianzhong followed Luo Pengfei to the alley next door.

They left all their backpacks here. Luo Pengfei opened each backpack one by one, and Zhang Xianzhong simply turned the ring in his hand. All the spirit stones and pills in the backpacks disappeared and were put into the storage magic artifact.

"Old Zhang, come quick, see if there's anything good inside this ring!"

"Don't get carried away now!"

Zhang Xianzhong put away the storage artifact and muttered to himself:

"Things here are progressing much more smoothly than I expected. I wonder how things are going with Yangzi and Lao Qi?"
