The woman’s expression froze. In the next second, her eyes turned ruthless and commended, “You want to die here, is it? Fine!”

“Wait!! I have!”

Zhao Yu threw caution to the wind and said with a deadpan expression.

The woman nodded slightly and put the small flashlight to the side, illuminating herself.

She then quickly ejected the magazine from her gun, showing Zhao Yu the bullets inside, before reloading it.

“See? It’s loaded.”

Zhao Yu looked at her, puzzled.

She hesitated for a moment and then said, “Put your underwear back on.”

Without questioning, Zhao Yu complied.

Once he was dressed, she said, “Come here, carry me out.”

“Where are we going?”

Zhao Yu seemed to have an idea of her intentions and asked curiously.

From her appearance and the gear she had, it was clear that she wasn’t an ordinary person.

At least not from this region. Her equipment suggested she was a combatant from some significant team.

“Out of this tow, right? Do you know the way?”

“Yes.”

Under her direction, Zhao Yu turned his back to her and slowly approached. As he bent down, the muzzle of her gun pressed against his head.

“Don’t try anything funny. As long as you carry me out, 1 promise to let you go.”

Zhao Yu paused for a moment, “What’s in it for me?”

“What do you want?”

In a situation like this, she hadn’t expected him to ask for a reward.

“Weapon and food.” Zhao Yu said earnestly.

Surprisingly, she didn’t refuse.

After thinking for a moment, she agreed, “Alright.”

Relieved, Zhao Yu asked, “Can I take some food from that shelf over there?”

“No,” she frowned.

“Once we’re outside the town, I’ll give you food.”

She added, “1 have other teammates.”

“How can I trust you?”

Naturally, Zhao Yu was apprehensive, hoping she could offer a more rea.s.suring solution.

“I’m from the Thorn Squad of Black Rock City. I won’t deceive you.”

Black Rock City, Thorn Squad?!

Black Rock City and the Thorn Squad, which sounded like a game team’s name.

“You’ve never heard of Black Rock City?” The woman seemed surprised.

“No, never,” Zhao Yu shook his head.

“Haven’t you been to a nearby settlement?” she asked with a frown.

“The closest one to my home was destroyed last month.” Zhao Yu replied.

The woman pondered for a moment, “Black Water City is a newly established settlement, the largest in this vicinity.”

Zhao Yu remembered something, “Is there a Reed Corporation in Black Water City?”

“Yes, they have a branch there, providing up to tier-four tests and elixir.” she replied impatiently.

“Why would a person from the grand Black Rock City lie to you?”

Left with no choice, Zhao Yu ceased his questioning. Under her coercion, he bent down and she climbed onto his back.

“Move!”

Zhao Yu had a.s.sumed she’d be light, but her backpack seemed filled with heavy gear.

Emerging from the internet cafe, he surveyed his surroundings. Everything was eerily quiet. All the mutated creatures and other threats seemed to have vanished.

“We need to hurry. It’ll be dangerous if we delay!” the woman urged.

Understanding that she seemed to know something, Zhao Yu refrained from asking and hurriedly made his way out of the town.

After they had traveled for several minutes, a buzzing sound began behind his ear.

“zzz… Thorn Squad… Can you hear me?”

A walkie-talkie?!

As Zhao Yu continued moving, the signal became clearer.

“Thorn Squad, report your status.”

“Thorn Squad, only one remaining.”

Her voice sounded heavy, seemingly in grief over her fallen comrades.

From the communication, Zhao Yu deduced the woman’s codename was “Rose.”

“Rose, what about the mission? Is it complete?” the team leader on the other end sounded anxious.

A pained expression crossed Rose’s face. The higher-ups only seemed to care about the completion of their tasks and not the welfare of their team.

“Mission accomplished. I’m injured. Please come get me, and bring some food.”

She ended the communication.

She tapped Zhao Yu’s shoulder, “That’s enough. Put me down.”

Once she was on the ground, Rose said, “My team will arrive soon by helicopter. They’ll give you the food and weapons.”

Zhao Yu hesitated, “It’s alright. I can go back to the town to get some more supplies.”

“I’d advise against it. There’s going to be a riot in the town. Going back is suicide.” Rose warned with evident knowledge.

Zhao Yu didn’t question further. Showing intent to leave, he said, “Since I’ve delivered you safely, can I go now?”

“You don’t want the food and weapons anymore?” Rose looked shocked, recalling his earlier demands.

Zhao Yu remained silent, clearly reconsidering his choices..
