As planned yesterday, excluding those newcomers with little combat capability, the arrangements for our six veterans are as follows: Zhang Jie and Zero Point form one pair; Zero Point handles the sniping, and Zhang Jie is responsible for Zero Point's cover. Zhao Yingkong and Zhan Lan form the second pair; Zhao Yingkong is in charge of assassination, and Zhan Lan provides spells for speed and endurance. I will pair with Qi Tengyi; I will handle close-quarters attacks, and Qi Tengyi will be responsible for translating the incantations I haven't memorized yet... That is how I have arranged it. If anyone has any objections, you can raise them now. If there are no objections, we will proceed with combat using these groupings. For communication, we will use the communicators we just exchanged for; they allow communication with others and the marking of their location." Zheng Zha stated calmly.

Xiao Honglu suddenly spoke urgently, "Let me see the communicator... It can mark the location of other partners who possess one. Have you considered what would happen if this communicator fell into the enemy's hands?" Zheng Zha smiled and replied, "Of course. That is why I plan to announce a password known only to our own team members. Once we discover a communicator holder nearby who does not know the password, it will actually be a great opportunity to set a trap and surround them... Of course, this slogan cannot be known by non-team members. Those three will form a group on their own, and our three teams will take turns protecting and monitoring them.

If, at any point, a situation arises that endangers the entire team... kill them on the spot. Even if it costs an additional two thousand reward points, we cannot let the entire team fall into a desperate situation." Gao Hongliang, Zhang Heng, and Qin Zhuiyu all trembled upon hearing this. Xiao Honglu nodded, "Then... I will stay with them. We won't need the communicator, but outside of combat, one of the main teams must be assigned to protect the four of us. It would be best if no one dies...

If we are truly pushed into a desperate situation, the four of us will serve as bait first. That was also something we agreed upon at the very beginning." Qin Zhuiyu immediately protested loudly, "What, what kind of joke is this? Those six are so strong, they have weapons, and they have that communicator thing—why should we ordinary people be used as bait? Isn't this clearly sending us to our deaths? Hey! Why are you all looking at me like that? Can't I even speak the truth?" Xiao Honglu didn't even look at her, merely smirked and pinched the hair at his forehead.

He stated calmly, "Precisely because we lack strength... we are the ones who should die first. This world is not like the ordinary reality. It's not a place where the powerless should be protected. In this world, everything is considered with survival in mind. If we act as bait while the main combat power remains intact, our chance of survival is at least one to three in ten. But if the main combat power is completely wiped out while we remain safe, our chance of dying is one hundred percent.

The Yin Zhou Squad will absolutely not let go of 'mobile reward points' like us, do you understand?" Qin Zhuiyu was stunned silent. She suddenly flushed crimson and declared loudly, "Then at least pick the fittest among us to be the bait! I won't be that bait anyway. If I'm killed, you will still lose two thousand reward points, right?" Xiao Honglu gently pulled off a strand of black hair, placed it on his fingertips, blew on it lightly, and then sneered, "Ladies first... I believe the other two feel the same way. If you disagree, let the four of us vote on it." Zheng Zha silently observed everything, sighing inwardly. This young boy's mode of operation was strikingly similar to Chu Xuan's, except he possessed a measure of humanity, whereas Chu Xuan was rational to the point of ignoring everything else.

Although they both preferred to categorize themselves with the majority, subtly making any opponent an outlier in the minority, this act of becoming the correct side without realizing it might just be what the truly intelligent favor most. Suddenly, Zheng Zha, Zero Point, Zhao Yingkong, and Zhang Jie all turned their heads simultaneously toward a spot outside the crowd. There stood a tall, burly man whose muscles resembled steel blocks, beside a middle-aged man with a hawkish nose, a large beard, and a sinister expression. A strange sensation caused all four of them to look their way. "...That's right, members of the Yin Zhou Squad. Such intense killing intent... This is an emergency.

We might be targeted by snipers here. I don't know if there are others around. We might already be surrounded... Zero Point, take the others and leave quickly... Zhan Lan, cast speed and endurance enhancements on me and Zhao Yingkong. Xiao Honglu, quickly devise a way to shake off anyone following us... Zhao Yingkong, you are responsible for holding off the bearded man.

Try to kill him if circumstances permit, but do not endanger yourself. I will take on that muscular man." Thoughts flashed through Zheng Zha's mind as he rapidly made rational arrangements. After being baptized by several horror movies, coupled with Chu Xuan's subtle guidance, he had naturally assumed the role of a leader. Although not entirely competent yet, he was gradually growing into the captain's position. Given more time, he might be even better suited for the role. The man whose body was dark and muscular burst into laughter. He said to the bearded man beside him, "Yorif, they reacted pretty fast.

I wonder about their actual strength. What do you say? Have you picked your opponent?" The bearded man, Yorif, suddenly flashed a red light in his hand, and a crimson submachine gun appeared in his grasp. A dagger was stuck onto the submachine gun—it was a throwing weapon Zhao Yingkong had hurled from a distance. He grinned sinisterly, "No need to choose; it seems they've already picked our opponents for us... Same old rules: the first to kill their opponent wins, and the loser pays a thousand reward points to exchange items for the winner. Seems like I have the advantage, doesn't it?" "Hahahaha, don't be so sure.

Be careful not to get castrated, hahaha..." The muscular giant laughed heartily. He raised his fist and smashed it violently into the ground, instantly sending pebbles flying everywhere. The nearby civilians let out screams of agony. The scattered stones possessed a striking force nearly equal to handgun bullets at close range. Instantly, more than ten civilians were killed by the ricocheting rocks. Zheng Zha's vision was blocked by the incoming debris. As he deflected the stones with his dagger, a dark shadow suddenly eclipsed the sunlight above him.

The muscular giant was hoisting a stone block several cubic meters in size, bringing it down upon him from several meters high. A critical moment...——————(Recommendation: Mutant Tide, Book ID: 114922) Click to view image link: cmfu/smenhu.cn?bl_id=114922Mutant Tide Jump to
