Zhang Yang, who has awakened to the D-level [Iron Man] sequence.

Its ability is to turn its entire body into steel, greatly increasing its defense. After turning into steel, it is no longer affected by strange special forces, making it extremely survivable.

Tian Liqing, who has awakened to the C-level [Sharer] sequence.

Abilities can be shared with teammates. This includes sharing consciousness, feelings, physical sensations, memories, and damage.

In the fight against the Water Demon, she shared the damage with everyone, essentially distributing the damage suffered by one person to everyone else.

Besides the four of them, there are two other Sequence Awakeners in the team.

Liao Wenchang is a 30-year-old middle-aged man who has awakened to the C-level sequence [Lawyer].

There is another one named Wang Zihan, a girl in her early twenties with a sweet appearance, who is an awakened C-rank [Nurse].

Both of them belong to a special auxiliary sequence.

Zheng Sheng was also somewhat surprised after hearing this. Li Yong's survival team actually had 6 Sequence Awakeners, 4 of whom were combat sequences, and one of whom was a healing support sequence.

It's important to know that healing sequences are extremely rare!

"Captain Zheng, I see you're heading towards Shaluo County, and I still have to give you some advice." Li Yong suddenly lowered his head, as if recalling some terrifying scene.

"Whatever you do, don't go to Shaluo County! It's been overrun by eerie creatures and monsters!"

"We escaped from Shaluo County. When the city was first swallowed by the Kuroshio Current, it was relatively safe. Apart from the problem of supplies, we did not encounter any other dangers."

"But three days after entering this world, abnormal things began to happen in the city... In the Binjiang Garden residential area in the south of the city, thousands of people died overnight, all by hanging themselves..."

"...Some people saw people hanging on iron hooks like livestock at the vegetable market in the development zone, their bellies being cut open...and they could also hear vendors hawking their wares..."

"...The bus stop in the west of the city...piles of corpses, mounds of heads, at least tens of thousands of bodies...and kneeling before the mountain of corpses was a black giant several meters tall..."

"...Some people even saw their reflection in the mirror and laughed at themselves...Mirrors...eat people!"

Li Yong's expression grew increasingly grim as he spoke.

Clearly, after arriving in the Survival Highway world, they encountered many terrifying things.

Zheng Sheng listened without saying anything, but just smiled and replied.

"Thank you for the reminder, Commander Li. Well, I also have a piece of advice for you: if you trust me, I advise you not to go any further."

"I urge you to turn back and come with us."

Li Yong was taken aback, and Zhang Mu and the others beside him also looked puzzled.

Why?

"Could there be something strange ahead as well?"

Zheng Sheng nodded: "Commander Li, as I said before, cities swallowed by the Black Tide will all descend on the Survival Highway."

"There are many cities along this highway, and every single one of them is extremely dangerous."

"The place we passed through before was called Sanqiao County. Something unusual happened there, and it should be occupied by a nightmare-level monster now."

"Nightmare level?" Li Yong looked confused, clearly unaware of the level of the strangeness.

Seeing this, Grandpa Niu patiently began to explain.

Wandering Spirit Level... Ghostly Spectrum Level... Nightmare Level... Calamity Beast Level... Sleeping God Level...

Each stage of the eeriness is further divided into three phases: Birth, Ascension, and Complete Form!

"The water monster you just encountered was a wandering spirit-level monster, whose body exists between reality and illusion, and it had just evolved from its initial stage to the molting stage."

After listening to Grandpa Niu's explanation, Li Yong and the others were clearly hesitant and unsure.

"Commander Niu, do you mean that the water monster we encountered was just the weakest of the monsters?"

Grandpa Niu nodded, and Li Yong's expression became even more unpleasant.

In his view, that water monster was already terrifying enough. Their entire special forces team barely managed to repel the maggots it controlled by firepower, and they also needed the cooperation of four awakened individuals to suppress it.

But now someone is telling them that all their efforts to fight the monster were just a small fry in this terrifying world.

That's not really scary at all!

"Nightmare level..." Li Yong muttered to himself.

Although he didn't know just how terrifying the Nightmare-level monster was, even Zheng Sheng, who could easily kill the Water Monster, seemed to be very wary of it.

Clearly, the level of danger was beyond their tolerance.

"I understand, Captain Zheng. We'll go back to Shaluo County with you."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang, who was sitting at the dinner table, immediately became restless.

"Commander Li, are we really going back to Shaluo County?"

"That place has become a living hell. You saw it when we escaped."

"If we turn back now, we'll definitely die!"

Zhang Yang had never experienced nightmarish or bizarre terror, so he couldn't imagine how dangerous Sanqiao County was.

But he had witnessed firsthand how Shaluo County had become a living hell, and knew that it was now a place where demons ran rampant.

If they return to Shaluo County now, at least 90% of the hundreds of people in the team will die.

No! There's an extremely high probability they'll be completely wiped out!

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, Zhang Mu and the others at the table fell silent, which was taken as an admission of his words.

Li Yong knew how terrifying Shaluo County was, and he didn't want to turn back, but Zheng Sheng's warning forced him to take it seriously.

"Commander Li, it seems your team is divided on the issue, so I won't say any more."

As Zheng Sheng spoke, he stood up, patted his thigh, and made no move to sit down again.

When Grandpa Niu and Luo Hao saw Zheng Sheng get up, they also got up, and the group prepared to leave.

"Commander Li, I'm not interested in how you negotiate internally, but I'd like to make a deal with you privately."

As Zheng Sheng spoke, he invited Li Yong to leave together. Li Yong hesitated for a moment, then followed him.

When Zheng Sheng agreed to help deal with the Water Monster, he mentioned a condition, which clearly indicated that the other party had something to ask him.

Soon, the two found a secluded corner, and Zheng Sheng got straight to the point without any hesitation.

"Commander Li, I have already shown enough sincerity, so I will speak frankly."

"I want to trade my guns for yours!"

"A gun?" Li Yong's face didn't show much surprise, as if he had already guessed it when he came over.

After all, apart from the six Sequence Awakeners, the only things of value in the entire team were supplies and the standard equipment worn by their special forces.

He had no say in the matter of the six Sequence Awakeners.

Zheng Sheng and his group didn't seem to be lacking supplies.

So all that's left are these firearms.

Li Yong hesitated for a moment, looked at Zheng Sheng, and finally nodded slowly.

He made no request, nor did he ask why.

"Okay! How many do you want?"

Zheng Sheng was somewhat surprised. She had thought Li Yong would make some demands, but he agreed immediately.

"Let's exchange for three guns, and another three hundred bullets. I just saw that you also had military binoculars and grenades, so we'll take some of those too."

It wasn't that Zheng Sheng didn't want to replace them with more, but rather that the guns and bullets were too heavy, and there was no need to excessively increase the load.

Li Yong nodded and waved. A special forces member came over from behind him, and the two exchanged a few words in hushed tones before quickly leaving.

After a while.

Three Type 95 rifles, a box of bullets, five hand grenades, three tactical binoculars, and a small reconnaissance drone were placed in front of Zheng Sheng.

"Captain Zheng, thank you for taking care of the water monster earlier. Consider this your reward."

"Please take good care of me when I travel to Shaluo County."
