"JD10, stay put. Assistance is on the way. Over!"
" Professor R dares to risk Nuclear Radiation and pilot a craft here?" Wu Yi muttered to himself, as if addressing Li Hang.
Li Hang scoffed, "There's no reason for him to come unless he has something up his sleeve. But his nose is quite sharp; he picked up our scent right away... How far is he from us?"
Wu Yi quickly glanced at the scanner. "About a few hundred meters," he replied. As soon as he spoke, he felt Li Hang's questioning gaze on him and hurriedly shot back an innocent look, repeatedly explaining, "Don't look at me like that; it's creepy. I really didn't notify him."
Li Hang sneered, "No need to feel guilty. He's coming soon; why aren't you getting ready?"
Wu Yi hesitated, "What do you want me to do?"
"Don't forget your energy..." Li Hang wanted to make a big move but was hindered by the injury to his head; even a slight motion would bring dizziness and nausea.
Instinctively, Wu Yi raised his right arm, his expression complex and strange as he boasted, "To be honest, this arm killed a few people just minutes ago."
Li Hang was taken aback. "Who?" Remembering the incident in the control room, he found Wu Yi's behavior erratic and hard to decipher...
"Have you heard about the members of Fifth Team?" Wu Yi squatted down while using his wristwatch, the Nano Monitor, to check for weaknesses in the Stratum, trying to divert Li Hang's attention so that the silence wouldn't make him fall asleep.
Li Hang forced himself to focus, following Wu Yi's movements with his eyes. After a while, his vision began to tire, and he felt the urge to close his eyes for a moment...
There was another secret that Wu Yi hadn't shared with Li Hang: his hearing was no less than that of Xiao Qiang. Possessing an extraordinary sense of hearing that ordinary people lacked was not necessarily a blessing.
Regardless of whether it was day or night, those irresistible sounds pierced through his eardrums. The noise created by couples in bed kept him tossing and turning in frustration for a long time without finding peace... Along with the sounds of mice fighting, gnawing on wood, grinding their teeth, and insects crawling on the ground making noises in search of mates—all of it reached his ears.
Was this special hearing considered an Ability? Wu Yi felt embarrassed to admit it. He didn't dare to speak about those embarrassing incidents he had overheard; at that moment, he thought his ears should be put to good use, so he focused intently on the ground. Yet regardless of whether he listened sideways or upright or squatted down to hear better, he couldn't detect any movement. It was strange; puzzled internally, he instinctively reached to dig at his ears...
With a quick motion, he pulled out a crumpled ball of paper. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead, remembering that the night before leaving the accommodation area, he had stuffed the paper into his ears to get some good rest, only to forget about it. Now, having removed the paper from one ear, he immediately heard the faint sound of Li Hang sleeping peacefully.
This was bad; he couldn't let Li Hang fall asleep. Anxiously, he called out softly and rushed in front of Li Hang, pinching his nose.
"What are you doing?" Li Hang grumbled, his eyes still heavy with sleep and his face unusually pale. He irritably pushed Wu Yi away and shouted, "Don't disturb me; let me rest properly."
"You can't sleep! Lin Yu will be here soon, and I need to hand you over to her before you sleep..." Wu Yi was determined not to let Li Hang doze off. If this continued, it would be bad for everyone and would delay their plans.
Li Hang forced himself to stay awake and rallied his spirits. "Fine, I won't sleep. I'll keep an eye on you."
Wu Yi nodded seriously and said earnestly, "With you watching, I won't slack off. Just keep an eye on me."
Professor R had secretly slipped out of the Core Headquarters. Unlike other team members, he had not personally intervened for their rescue before. After failing to connect with the Tough Guy Training base and just as he was about to give up searching, he unexpectedly saw a message from a member of the Fourth Group again. He scanned the location and zoomed in; this time it was JD10 Wu Yi and the JD10 member Li Hang who had not installed a chip.
Fortunately, Wu Yi was there; if it were just Li Hang alone, he wouldn't have been able to locate them accurately.
To put it simply, the chip implanted in the brains of Fourth Group members was essentially a control system device that allowed for real-time monitoring of their exact locations.
After more than ten hours without contact from Fourth Group members, Professor R had lost the last few strands of black hair overnight. The members of Fourth Group were his pride and also a source of great worry.
Especially JD1 Xiao Qiang, who had undergone memory wipes repeatedly while new information was constantly fed into him. Yet none of it could completely erase the scattered memories lingering in his mind.
Xiao Qiang carried Wen Kai on his back and ran swiftly...
Lin Yu and the chef brought up the rear.
The chef wielded a bone knife with skill. He had used this very knife for butchering human flesh and had honed his knife skills with it—fast, precise, ruthless; every strike was deadly.
Due to hunger, Lin Yu and Xiao Qiang couldn't afford to expend too much energy. Their escape relied entirely on the chef wielding a knife to fend off the attacking Winged Skeleton Mutants.
However, the chef's ruthlessness posed a threat not only to them as members of the Fourth Group but also to unarmed humans if he managed to escape from this place.
The chef had developed a taste for human flesh and could never return to being an ordinary person...
A strange dust floated above them, accompanied by a faint buzzing sound. Xiao Qiang reached out to give Wen Kai's sturdy backside a supportive push. After a brief pause, Lin Yu rolled up her sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead while looking up at the source of the noise.
"What is that sound?" she asked, puzzled.
"I don't know, let's go..."
The chef glanced around, looking left and right, then tilted his head up, inadvertently allowing a small particle of dust to fall into his eye. He had to stop and rub it with his finger... At that moment, a fierce Winged Skeleton Mutant suddenly attacked him...
Lin Yu had to balance her attention between Xiao Qiang, especially since Wen Kai was seriously injured, and supporting the chef. Although she knew he was a despicable pervert, they were all in the same boat at that moment. With him around, they could at least hold off the Skeleton Mutants for a while. Without hesitation, she raised her arm and unleashed a barrage of shots at the charging Skeleton Mutant.
Even so, the chef's arm was still slashed by the sharp claws of a Skeleton Mutant, leaving several cuts that oozed blood. The scent of blood in the air further excited many Skeleton Mutants as they swooped in eagerly.
