I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!

With Cheng Li as their burden, Su Yu ran down several floors in one go until they reached the floor they had cleared earlier. After confirming several times that the Lickers hadn't caught up, the two of them finally stopped.

Leaning against the wall of the emergency exit, the two men were panting heavily.

To be honest, the oppressive feeling brought by the Lickers was too strong, especially when so many Lickers appeared together. Even Su Yu felt his scalp tingling, let alone Cheng Li, a complete newbie who hadn't even activated her seed.

"Aren't...aren't you going to run away anymore?"

With one hand pressed against her heaving chest and the other bracing against the wall to keep from slipping, Cheng Li plopped down on the ground. She then turned her gaze to Su Yu beside her.

"run?"

Looking at the M1911 in his hand, Su Yu noticed that his right hand, which was holding the gun, had knuckles that were turning slightly white from excessive force.

Where can they run to right now?

Run into the corridor. There are so many windows; you never know which one might be hiding a Licker.

Keep running downstairs, even if you get to the first floor of the hotel, what good will it do?

The streets outside the hotel were teeming with zombies. The two newcomers would likely become zombie food before they even ran a hundred meters.

If you are alone, after carefully observing the surrounding terrain, you might have a chance to break through the encirclement.

As for bringing Cheng Li along as a burden, Su Yu didn't even dare to think about it. Song Yuewen's behavior just now had already shown just how unreliable these female bank employees were.

However, on the other hand, if Cheng Li were used as bait, wouldn't the chances of escaping from the hotel increase significantly?

The probability of escaping the hotel alone is 30%, but if he has multiple baits, Su Yu thinks that the probability can be at least 50%.

With that thought in mind, Su Yu couldn't help but shift his gaze to Cheng Li.

"I'll do whatever you say from now on."

Cheng Li had no idea about Su Yu's schemes, and was still foolishly expressing her determination.

"Let's rest here for a bit and see how things go."

Looking at Cheng Li, who had been sold out by him and was still counting the money for him, Su Yu sighed and finally gave up the idea of ​​using her as bait.

First of all, the situation hasn't deteriorated to that point yet, so there's no reason for me to do something so unethical.

Secondly, bait is something you only use once, and getting a good bait like Cheng Li, who completely trusts what he says and the decisions he makes, is no easy task.

Finally, Su Yu also wanted to see how Chen Bin and the others performed. If Chen Bin and the others could successfully deal with the Licker, then he wouldn't necessarily have to escape from this hotel.

Thinking of Chen Bin and the others fighting the Lickers, Su Yu couldn't help but worry about An Qiluo.

To be honest, An Qiluo was the most humane person he met after entering the Magic Cube Space.

Not only did they give him a Black Iron Seed, giving him more strength to survive, but they also stayed behind at a crucial moment to block the Lickers' attack and buy them time to escape.

Su Yu felt that he owed An Qiluo far too much, to the point that he didn't know how to repay her kindness.

If An Qiluo were to die in the mouth of a Licker, Su Yu would not be able to sleep well, and this incident would become a psychological shadow for him for the rest of his life.

"Could it be that I've fallen for that woman?"

Upon realizing this, Su Yu was suddenly startled.

What a joke! This is a survival killing game. How can you be thinking about these things? Do you have a death wish?

He treated Cheng Li like a fish in his pond, and An Qiluo felt the same way.

Seeing that the other party was quite strong, able to gain an absolute advantage even when fighting a Licker alone, she might be deliberately doing him a favor so that he could stand up for her and take the hit at a crucial moment.

Forget about selfishness or not. Life and death are just a matter of a single thought. Anyone in this situation would think the worst.

Su Yu suddenly remembered what his father had said: always look on the bright side and think on the dark side.

The wisdom of the elderly has indeed stood the test of time.

As the saying goes, "If you have no woman in your heart, you'll naturally be a god when you draw your sword." The first move of the sword manual is to kill the one you love. Su Yu knows that what he needs to do now is to devote himself to the survival killing game and try his best to survive this game.

"I only like An Qiluo because she's pretty, and I'm after her body. I'm despicable!"

Shaking his head vigorously, Su Yu told himself this in his heart, trying his best not to think about An Qiluo.

Seeing Su Yu's behavior, Cheng Li couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Of course, she couldn't hear what the other person was thinking, and assumed that Su Yu was having a headache about the next plan.

After catching her breath for so long, Cheng Li's breathing became much more stable. She quietly moved to Su Yu's side and patted his back with her hand, trying to soothe his emotions in this way.

"Hmm..."

With Cheng Li holding his left arm in her arms and gently patting his vest, Su Yu was slightly stunned as he felt the warm, soft flesh so close to him.

Su Yu remembered something else. When he broke through the Licker's blockade, if he had thrown out Song Yuewen instead of Cheng Li, would the woman next to him have been the one who died in the Licker's mouth?

Judging from Cheng Li's appearance, she has clearly become dependent on him.

This woman wasn't as pretty as An Qiluo or Fu Xueying, and her temperament was much worse, but she was far superior to Li Ping.

If I take her to a room in this hotel and make inappropriate demands while we're escaping the Lickers, she probably won't refuse, right?

After all, with Li Ping's case as a precedent, Cheng Li should have been prepared in this regard as well.

"Men!"

Su Yu smiled wryly, realizing that he couldn't escape the common fate after all.

It is said that Chu Tianyang once said that in the game, even if a player in the Rubik's Cube Space suffers a serious injury, as long as they still have a breath left, the red Rubik's Cube can heal them after they return to the room. It is just unknown whether the healing includes special parts.

If even that place could be restored to its original state, Su Yuzhen was considering whether, after entering the game each time, she should find a secluded spot and cut off the root cause that most easily leads men to make mistakes.

"Damn, I'm a wolf killer too, but compared to ruthless people, the difference in cruelty is more than just a little bit."

Dongfang Bubai and Yue Buqun are characters in novels and TV series, created by novelists and screenwriters. But if he were to do that, Su Yu would be able to guarantee that he would be the most ruthless person in history.

Even eunuchs in feudal dynasties only needed to be castrated once before entering the palace.

Every time he enters the game, he does this. If word gets out, people will definitely avoid him.

"Emmm..."

Su Yu realized that all his thinking had been pointless.

Just as he was pondering whether to sneak back upstairs quietly to check on An Qiluo and the others, a series of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from above the emergency exit.

Hearing the commotion, Cheng Li was so frightened that she was in a state of shock.

"It's the lickers, they're catching up!"

As she spoke, Cheng Li tried to run away for her life.

It was one thing for her to run away on her own, but this woman also tried to drag Su Yu along. The two of them ran around aimlessly in the safety passage like headless flies.

Su Yu remained calm, standing still and looking straight ahead at the corner of the emergency exit.

"Don't panic, it's not a Licker coming."

Su Yu had something else he didn't say: he was pretty sure that what came wasn't a Licker, and it wasn't even an ordinary zombie.

Because these footsteps were just too chaotic.

Not only were the movements dense and arrhythmic, but the footsteps also varied in weight, completely contradicting the movement patterns of zombies.

"That is..."

Cheng Li opened her mouth, wanting to ask Su Yu what he was if he wasn't a Licker.

But before she could ask, the answer appeared before the two of them: Mao Xingzhou and Lu Renjia!

The two guys looked like rabbits being chased by dogs, tumbling and crawling all the way down the stairs, looking extremely disheveled.

Upon seeing Su Yu and Cheng Li standing in the emergency exit, the two were taken aback for a moment before realizing what was happening.

"What are you all standing there for? The Lickers are coming soon! Run!"

As he said this, Mao Xingzhou had already rushed up to Su Yu.

"Hold!"

Su Yu was absolutely furious with Mao Xingzhou. He and Cheng Li were perfectly fine here, and nothing had happened to them.

As a result, this idiot's arrival directly attracted the Lickers.

If he could, Su Yu really wanted to wait for this guy to pass by him and then fire a burst of bullets at Mao Xingzhou's back.

However, reality not only did not allow him to do so, but it also left Su Yu little time to even think about it.

"Walk."

Without time to think, Su Yu grabbed Cheng Li beside him, pushed open the emergency exit, and slipped into the corridor of the floor where they were.

Su Yu's stop here earlier was not accidental.

Because this floor was cleaned by him, An Qiluo, Cheng Li, and Song Yuewen, Su Yu was more confident in his own work compared to the work done by Chen Bin, Mao Xingzhou, and others.

Originally, Su Yu hadn't planned to enter the corridor, mainly because he was worried about attracting Lickers, but now that the monster was right behind him, he couldn't care less about that anymore.

Seeing Su Yu and Cheng Li rush into the corridor, Mao Xingzhou hesitated for a moment.

After a brief hesitation, Mao Xingzhou decisively followed the two men into the corridor.

As soon as Mao Xingzhou moved, Lu Renjia followed suit.

"These two are jinxes."

Su Yu, who was running ahead, naturally saw what Mao Xingzhou and Lu Renjia were doing.

Cursing under his breath, Su Yu didn't have time to deal with the two of them. He ran towards one of the rooms while taking out his room key from his pocket.

He, An Qiluo, Cheng Li, and Song Yuewen would each keep one or two room cards when cleaning the floors, just in case.

As the door opened, Su Yu pushed Cheng Li into the room, and then followed behind, preparing to close the door.

"etc......"

Realizing Su Yu's thoughts, Lu Renjia became anxious and couldn't help but shout loudly.

Mao Xingzhou was even more decisive. His muscles tensed, and he sprinted forward, grabbing the door frame before Su Yu could close it.

Before Su Yu could make a move, Mao Xingzhou squeezed through the door.

Lu Renjia was thrown several meters away, but in this life-or-death situation, he didn't waste any time and quickly caught up.

Following Mao Xingzhou's example, Lu Renjia slipped into the room like an eel, breathed a sigh of relief, and then urged Su Yu to close the door quickly.

"Your mother's."

Su Yu cursed their ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind, of course he knew to close the door.

After closing the door, Su Yu didn't waste any words with the two of them and pulled Cheng Li towards a room.

He had carefully chosen that room; importantly, it had no windows, which prevented monsters from spotting them from outside and also effectively blocked out some of the sound.

Mao Xingzhou and Lu Renjia weren't completely stupid. Seeing Su Yu leading Cheng Li straight to that room, the two of them quickly followed.

As soon as he entered the room, Mao Xingzhou noticed something fishy about it.

If you asked him to do it, Mao Xingzhou knew he couldn't do what Su Yu did, but he had survived two survival killing games. Even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. This spirited young man could still see some of the tricks of the trade.

"Hey, you little brat, were you planning to lock us out just now?"

Before Su Yu and Cheng Li could find a place to sit down, Mao Xingzhou spoke first, making things difficult for them.

Upon hearing Mao Xingzhou's words, Cheng Li froze, having witnessed Su Yu's actions.

Su Yu did not show any nervousness; his expression remained calm and composed.

"No, that's not true. I just think it's better if we split up. You have Lu Renjia with you, and Cheng Li and I are both newcomers. It would be really difficult for you to take care of three newcomers by yourself. It would be better to split up and reduce your pressure a lot."

Su Yu can lie without even blinking.

After he said that, Mao Xingzhou really couldn't find a suitable reason to continue making things difficult for the two of them.

The four of them went to find places to rest. Under Su Yu's subtle hint, Cheng Li, who understood the implication, broke the silence and quietly asked Mao Xingzhou and Lu Renjia where Xiao Bingyi and Li Ping, who had been traveling with them, were.

"Where else can we go? Die!"

Lu Renjia rolled his eyes. Just mentioning those two made him furious.

According to Lu Renjia, they were fine, the operation was about to end, and they hadn't encountered any danger.

As a result, Li Ping looked out the window at the zombies wandering the streets and suddenly became interested. She insisted on having a shooting contest with Xiao Bingyi, claiming that they were practicing shooting.

Faced with Li Ping's request, Xiao Bingyi, being a man, certainly wouldn't back down. Moreover, before entering the game, he had chosen a Barrett heavy sniper rifle, and after entering the game, he hadn't even fired a few shots yet.

Li Ping's intentions were good; while killing time, she could not only practice her marksmanship but also earn more Rubik's Cube Space points.

Little did they expect that their actions would bring them an unexpected disaster, dragging others down with them as well.

A group of lickers had gathered on the top of the hotel building at some point. Because the hotel's windows were very soundproof, their usual squabbles went unnoticed.

Li Ping and Xiao Bingyi opened the window to shoot, and some Lickers, who happened to be nearby, were successfully attracted by the gunfire, which led to a chain reaction, with more and more Lickers gathering there.

Looking at Li Ping and Xiao Bingyi, they were the first to pay the price. After discovering the Lickers, they didn't run far before becoming food for the monsters.

The loud noise that Su Yu and the others heard downstairs was the explosion of a cluster grenade thrown by Mao Xingzhou in response to the Lickers' pursuit and interception.

Throughout his narration of the entire incident, Lu Renjia's words revealed his dissatisfaction.

In Lu Renjia's view, if Mao Xingzhou hadn't slept with her and then been too indulgent towards Li Ping, they wouldn't have been besieged by the lickers.

It cannot be ruled out that Lu Renjia's jealousy stemmed from watching Mao Xingzhou eat meat while he couldn't even get a sip of soup.

But if we ask Su Yu to judge right and wrong, we can only say that Lu Renjia's resentment was not entirely unfounded.

As the saying goes, "People who are not from the same family will not enter the same door."

Mao Xingzhou is incredibly stupid; the fact that he's associated with Lu Renjia, Xiao Bingyi, and Li Ping shows that their intelligence isn't much better either.

It was only the others who suffered, being implicated along with these unlucky fellows, especially Song Yuewen, whose death was utterly unjust.
