Zheng Zha sighed, "Compared to his injuries, I'm more worried about you... How bad is it, really?" When the group reached the top of the bell tower, those new recruits were already frozen with terror. The dead Qi Tengyi, and the heavily wounded Zheng Zha and the others, would undoubtedly shock and frighten the newcomers, as they had just stepped from the real world into this horror movie reincarnation for the first time.

Zhao Yingkong's recovery speed was astonishingly fast. By the time she returned to the bell tower, she had largely regained mobility. Although the arm she was bitten on remained useless, as the one who understood human anatomy best among them, she naturally began to assess Ling Dian's injuries. Of course, her own wounds appeared significantly more severe.

Zhao Yingkong quietly glanced at her shoulder, which was nearly ripped off by the bite. "I need hot water, a needle, thread, scissors, disinfectant alcohol, and gauze. I recall that Egyptian natives have some kind of healing poultice; it would be even better if we had some of that."

Zheng Zha took a deep breath, pressing the issue in a low, serious voice, "I asked how you are injured, not for you to detail how you'll solve it yourself! We will find every piece of surgical equipment for you. Don't worry about anything else; your only task, along with Ling Dian's, is complete bed rest until your fighting strength returns!" Zhao Yingkong blinked, then slowly spoke, "The blood vessels and tendons in my shoulder were severed by the bite, and the bone is likely damaged too. Before we return to the 'Main God' space, the technology of this era won't be able to fully restore this arm; perhaps not even for decades to come. This arm is effectively finished."

Zheng Zha and the surrounding group fell silent, especially when they saw the corpse of Qi Tengyi being held by the bearded man in black. A profound sense of sorrow washed over everyone. Zheng Zha recovered the fastest, quickly declaring loudly, "The Indian team isn't faring much better than us! This is a horror movie reincarnation; why should anyone be immune to death there? Any one of us could die tomorrow at the hands of an enemy or some monster. All we can do is try our absolute best to survive, to struggle through to the end!" Although the group's spirits remained low, they lifted slightly after Zheng Zha’s declaration compared to the earlier despair. Zheng Zha then turned to O'Connell, "I'm sorry, but we are absolutely unfamiliar with Cairo. We have no choice but to ask you to help us purchase some surgical supplies. Zhang Heng, Gao Hongliang, you two go with O'Connell. Remember to grab plenty of food and drinks while you're out."

"Meat!" Zhao Yingkong suddenly interjected, "How can anyone have strength without eating meat? Buy lots of lean meat."

Zheng Zha could only add the instruction with a resigned look. O'Connell didn't refuse and left the tower with the two men. Eve had initially intended to join them, but Zheng Zha and the others stopped her, particularly when she heard the words 'undead mummy.' The woman immediately dropped any thought of going along.

Once all these arrangements were made, Xiao Honglü finally spoke up, "Tell me exactly what happened. I was watching my watch; about ten minutes ago, I received a prompt from the Main God: one person on our side died, resulting in a negative one-point balance. About two or three minutes later, another prompt indicated we had killed one enemy, bringing the score back to zero... Tell me everything that transpired, leave out no detail."

When Zheng Zha arranged for O'Connell's group to go shopping, he had subtly maneuvered the two rookies into going out. This way, even if they died, the team’s overall combat strength would be maximized. Although this move would put them back into negative points, as captain, he had to make the difficult choice to preserve the whole team—a pragmatism frighteningly similar to Chu Xuan's past actions.

After settling these matters, he was eager to speak with Xiao Honglü immediately; the boy's analytical capacity was currently the team's most crucial need. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Honglü inquired, Zheng Zha began recounting the battle in the museum, detailing every specific maneuver the enemy made, the potential skills and classes they might possess, and the terrifying destructive power of that giant man-wolf. Every aspect was narrated with painstaking clarity.

Xiao Honglü knelt on the ground, running his fingers through his hair. "From your description, the one they lost must be that muscle-bound brute; there's at least a seventy percent chance he died. The other possibility is the white-skinned doctor, Arrott, who has werewolf bloodline enhancements; he has a thirty percent chance of being dead. Naturally, I'd prefer it was the doctor... According to what you said, the muscle brute's arm was completely restored. This doctor must possess powerful regenerative abilities beyond our reach. If he survived, our gains from this battle would be diminished by at least fifty percent..." "Then let's analyze their combat strength further. Arrott seems extremely formidable, his close-quarters fighting skill surpasses Zhao Yingkong's... If you were to fight him one-on-one, what are your chances of winning?" Xiao Honglü plucked a strand of hair, blew it away, and murmured his question.

Zheng Zha considered this. "If I fought desperately, factoring in unlocking the gene lock and everything else... I might be able to defeat him, but the greater probability is a mutual crippling defeat. The strength and speed of that giant man-wolf exceed even my second stage of gene lock unlocking by a significant margin."

"Is that so? Then there's the Indian monk. If he can summon a twin-headed cobra, and if his combat power isn't as high as we feared—at least the cobra's head can be shattered by spirit-element bullets—then I believe he is deliberately hiding strength. That power probably can't be sustained for long, meaning he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary. Only by considering this can we explain why he is the captain of the Indian team, and not the doctor."

"Excluding those two, what concerns me most is that steel needle—the one that killed Qi Tengyi and wounded Ling Dian. The user of the steel needle must also possess some degree of long-range sniping capability. Thus, these three will be our direct threats when facing the Indian team... And then there is the single greatest threat we face against the Indian team..." "Of their remaining two women, one can deploy a protective shield, which is a powerful support ability. The other... she is very likely the biggest and most dangerous threat we face against the Indian team: mental control. The ability to control the mind of someone among us. As long as she remains alive, we absolutely cannot defeat the Indian squad!"
