Ready

Hurry and save the class representative!

“Wait!”

Deng Yuxin’s eyes widened. “This is...”

Chen Yu immediately set off, walking toward the Boiler Room door. “Yes, you guessed correctly. The bottled water was deliberately arranged to spell ‘110.’ This is a distress signal. They’re in danger, let’s go!”

Deng Yuxin quickly caught up. “But where are we going?”

Chen Yu didn't stop walking. “Look at the fourth square.”

Deng Yuxin exclaimed, “Building 36!”

Instantly, she understood the Class Monitor's intention: the first three squares were the distress numbers, and the last square was the location!

This entire sequence of actions was represented by bottled purified water!

Purified water just so happened to be her talent, representing her message!

As soon as they left the Boiler Room, Chen Yu scanned the surroundings. “We are near Building 6, which is a bit far from Building 36. Yuxin, throw the short knife from the supermarket into the shared backpack.”

Deng Yuxin nodded and obediently complied.

Chen Yu said no more, scooped up Deng Yuxin, and sprinted toward Building 13!

The speed granted by ten times constitution fully erupted!

Deng Yuxin only felt the wind whistling past, making it almost impossible to breathe!

“?!”

She couldn't understand how someone could carry her and still run this fast.

If he participated in the Olympics, he would definitely win a gold medal!

Chen Yu definitely didn't just have the ability to see the future; he had many secrets... Chen Yu was unaware of Deng Yuxin's thoughts.

He only felt that a body with such high constitution, paired with only 10 points of Agility, was somewhat difficult to control.

That's right, even though he ran extremely fast, it didn't change the fact that his Agility was only 10 points.

[Basic Attributes]

constitution: 100

Agility: 10

Perception: 10

charisma: 11 (1)

spirit: 10

luck: 10

Ultimately, he was just running by brute force.

Every step he took on the ground created an enormous shockwave.

If his Agility stat were higher... Chen Yu estimated that doubling his speed would be easy.

A few minutes later, the outline of Building 13 came into view.

Behind a low wall piled high with garbage on the side, two figures suddenly stumbled out!

It was Li Mengyao and Wang Mengmeng!

The two girls rushed towards Chen Yu as if they had seen a savior!

“Chen Yu!! Help us!!”

“Wuu wuu... We ran into another team! They... they captured the Class Monitor!”

“The Class Monitor made a distraction to draw those people away so we could escape!”

Li Mengyao was sobbing uncontrollably. “Chen... Chen Yu, please hurry and save the Class Monitor!”

Wang Mengmeng was also nodding desperately beside her. “The Class Monitor is in danger! That man can manipulate fire!”

“Manipulate fire?”

Deng Yuxin's expression changed. “A talent like that exists!”

Li Mengyao agreed. “Yes! Real fire, the kind that can burn people to death!”

Chen Yu frowned... Fire?

The item this person awakened with was likely an expensive lighter.

This kind of talent is usually A-rank or higher, and reaching S-rank is highly possible.

Although Chen Yu currently possessed ten times constitution.

He still felt a bit uneasy about confronting fire directly.

This was a fear buried deep in the human heart.

“Alright, let's head to Building 36 first. Both of you tell me what happened.”

Chen Yu, holding the fire axe, ran at the front of the group.

Li Mengyao took a breath. “We followed your instructions and focused on searching stairwells and public areas. Outside Building 36, we heard strange noises and went up to investigate.”

“When we reached the platform between the sixth and seventh floors, we indeed saw a bronze-colored Treasure Chest near the rooftop...”

“But, we didn't expect a group of people to be standing next to the chest!”

Wang Mengmeng added tearfully, “We originally thought that since they got there first, we could just leave, but that group wouldn't let us!”

“They insisted we hand over the supplies we found and asked about our team's situation!”

Chen Yu looked back. “What did you tell them?”

Wang Mengmeng stammered, “I... I said... we were just a student team who stumbled in here, implying that we were weak, hoping they would have a change of heart and let us go.”

Chen Yu's mouth twitched. “Are you fucking stupid, Wang Mengmeng?”

Wang Mengmeng: “...”

Chen Yu laughed in exasperation. “If you had just mentioned the fact that I fought six people alone, you might have been fine.”

Wang Mengmeng didn't dare to speak.

Li Mengyao quickly added, “The Class Monitor mentioned it, but that group didn't believe her...”

Chen Yu waved his hand, already guessing what happened next.

Wang Mengmeng suddenly recalled something. “Oh, right, when we were running away, we ran into another team, and those two teams started fighting, which gave us a chance to escape!”

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. “Another team?”

Wang Mengmeng nodded repeatedly. “It was an all-female team, and the fighting was intense. At that time... the Class Monitor ran in a different direction from us, but someone was chasing her...”

Chen Yu hadn't spoken yet.

Deng Yuxin suddenly spoke up. “The number of purified water bottles has changed! The first square now shows 40 bottles! That means the Class Monitor is in Building 40!”

...Building 40, fourth-floor stairwell.

Behind a dilapidated cabinet.

Zhang Wanyue was huddled next to two other girls.

They were members of the other team encountered during the chaos.

One was holding her arm, her body trembling slightly.

Her name was Yang Ting, and she looked very quiet and gentle.

The one who caught Zhang Wanyue's attention was the other girl—

She leaned against the wall, wearing a creamy white dress, covered by a black cropped leather jacket, and laced combat boots. Her sweet yet cool appearance contrasted sharply with her current disheveled state.

The sleeve of her right arm was torn, revealing a section of her forearm that had been scorched, the wound gruesome.

She was looking down, using her teeth and left hand to wrap the wound with a strip of cloth torn from her skirt hem.

She seemed to sense the gaze.

She raised her head.

It was a face that looked somewhat mixed-race, with a high nose bridge and long eyelashes.

What surprised Zhang Wanyue was that... there was no fear in the girl's eyes, only unyielding stubbornness.

Her name was Zhou Xuening.

A few minutes earlier, when Zhang Wanyue turned into this building amidst the chaos.

She happened to run into Zhou Xuening fighting while retreating, protecting Yang Ting.

Zhou Xuening had managed, single-handedly, to kill two men using an Iron Crowbar.

Her movements were swift and decisive; she clearly had training.

But then, a short-haired man called Brother Bin made his move.

The flames he shot from his palm were invincible, instantly scorching her arm.

Fortunately, another girl from their team rushed out and held back Brother Bin.

But Zhang Wanyue estimated that girl was likely in grave danger.
