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

Deep down, Su Yu was reluctant to join Chen Bin and the others. The reason was simple: once they joined forces, he, as a newcomer, would have to put on his shackles again.

Not only should they be careful about their words and actions, but if they encounter danger, they may also be forced by Chen Bin and others to become cannon fodder.

But there was no other way at the moment. With a group of mutated zombies targeting him, Su Yu knew that if he didn't go to find Chen Bin and the others to distract the monsters, he would only face certain death.

On the way back to the hotel where Chen Bin and the others were staying, Su Yu changed lanes several times in an attempt to shake off the mutated zombies behind him, but to his disappointment, no matter what he did, the zombies stayed close behind him.

The distance between the two sides was maintained at two or three kilometers, and the zombies were like radar, always able to lock onto Su Yu's location.

Having become a Licker, Su Yu used his unparalleled climbing ability to quickly traverse the skyscrapers of Water Bear City.

"Fortunately, it's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

Arriving near the hotel where everyone had initially stayed, Su Yu, now back to human form, picked up binoculars and surveyed the area.

The bus that Chen Bin and his men had stolen was still parked in front of the hotel.

Tightening his tactical vest and the straps of his holster and multi-functional tactical leg pack, Su Yu ran quickly toward the hotel.

Instead of going through the main entrance, he smashed the window next to him, clung to the window frame, and squeezed into the hotel lobby.

Guided by his memory, Su Yu searched the hotel front desk for a while before finally finding a few room cards that hadn't been taken from a drawer.

One of the room cards belonged to a room on the seventeenth floor of the hotel, meaning he could go directly to the sixteenth floor without having to get off the elevator and walk up the stairs.

The reason for going to the sixteenth floor was that Su Yu had basically confirmed that Chen Bin and the others were still in the original room 1603.

The fact that the bus hadn't been driven away meant that Chen Bin and the others were definitely still in the hotel.

Otherwise, even if Chen Bin and his group exhausted themselves on two legs, they still couldn't outrun the Lickers who had invaded the hotel.

Since these people didn't leave, it means that after they left, Chen Bin and the others had cleaned up the Lickers who had invaded the hotel.

Without hesitation, Su Yu took the elevator to the sixteenth floor of the hotel. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he went straight to room 1603.

There was a knock on the door, and Chi Feng opened it. When he saw Su Yu standing in the doorway, who had disappeared for several days, the bank employee looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Is it...it's you?"

Standing there dumbfounded, Chi Feng didn't come to his senses for a long time, and even forgot to make way for the other person.

"Get out of the way."

Too lazy to waste words with this guy, Su Yu reached out and shoved Chi Feng away.

"you……"

Chi Feng stumbled after being pushed by Su Yu and was about to get angry when he saw the doors of the other rooms in suite 1603 being opened one after another.

Hearing the commotion, the people came out of the room one after another, and their expressions varied when they found that it was Su Yu who had returned.

Cheng Li was the first to react, letting out a cheer and rushing towards Su Yu without hesitation.

"You scared me to death! We hadn't heard from you for days; everyone thought something had happened to you!"

Holding onto Su Yu's arm, Cheng Li said with a hint of resentment.

"It wasn't easy for me either. There were zombies everywhere. After the Licker was lured away that day, I could only wander around the hotel. I finally waited until the number of monsters decreased, and then I came back to find you."

Su Yu appeared to be complaining, but in reality, he was using the situation as an excuse to make a fuss. He said this simply to avoid arousing suspicion from Chen Bin and the others.

"How did you get rid of the licker?"

Compared to what Su Yu had experienced during his days of wandering outside, Chen Bin was more concerned about this matter.

In his view, even if Su Yu, as a newcomer, activated the seed and his physical attributes were enhanced to a certain extent, he would still be no match for the Licker.

Su Yu had already figured out how to deal with Chen Bin's question on the way back.

"I used the hotel's garbage pipes to shake off those lickers. When I was cleaning the floors, I found that the hotel's garbage pipes were just big enough to fit an adult. Lickers are larger than humans, and there are places that humans can pass through but lickers can't squeeze into. However, I didn't do any tests before taking action. I suffered a lot in those garbage pipes."

Su Yu gave a wry smile and gestured for everyone to look at his shoes.

His original pair of leather shoes had long been worn out by the uneven cement walls of the garbage duct, and then cracked due to becoming a licker, rendering them completely unusable.

Right now, Su Yu is wearing a pair of black lace-up military boots, which he found in a military supply store in Water Bear City.

The boot laces weren't tied tightly, mainly for easy on and off. Su Yu didn't want to lose a pair of shoes every time she became a Licker.

"You're really resourceful. Where did you get all that equipment?"

Chu Tianyang also voiced his doubts. He wasn't blind; Su Yu was wearing a tactical vest on his upper body, and had a holster and a multi-functional tactical leg pack strapped to his legs.

Not to mention the grenades, there were also two MP5 submachine guns.

This equipment is a huge upgrade compared to the M1911 pistol that Fu Xueying gave him!

"I seized this from a few police zombies while I was wandering around the area. Luckily, the commander had the foresight to rob the bus and occupy this hotel. The special police from the United States of Igor came after hearing the news, but ended up delivering equipment. The police turned into zombies are too easy to deal with. They even forgot how to fire a gun."

At this point, Su Yu looked at Chen Bin beside him, his eyes filled with deliberately feigned admiration.

Chen Bin didn't reply, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Compared to Mao Xingzhou's usual empty flattery, Su Yu's seemingly casual words were truly flattering, and Chen Bin felt incredibly pleased!

An Qiluo remained silent, standing by the window and quietly watching Su Yu's performance.

"No matter what, it's good that you're back."

Fu Xueying smiled at Su Yu and comforted him.

"Oh, right!"

Su Yu slapped his forehead, looking as if he had just remembered something.

"What's wrong? Why are you so jumpy? Who are you trying to scare to death?"

Chu Tianyang was startled and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"On my way back, I saw several mutated zombies heading towards the hotel."

Su Yu turned her gaze to Chen Bin, looking as if she were about to present a treasure.

"Look at you making a mountain out of a molehill. It's just a few mutated zombies. If they dare to come, I'll make sure they don't leave alive."

Chu Tianyang pounded his chest, his confidence unwavering.

To be honest, the Lickers can be considered mutated zombies. As long as the couple works together, even if there are a dozen or so of them, they won't pose any threat.

Looking at Chu Tianyang's overbearing manner, Su Yu couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Fixed call?

Su Yu thought he was just making noises with his butt and talking nonsense!

Thinking this to himself, Su Yu didn't say it aloud, and still put on a nice-natured face.

"I don't think these mutated zombies will be easy to deal with, because I saw that among them there is a driver zombie who can drive, three female zombies, and a burly zombie who is over three meters tall and has a multi-barreled Gatling gun on his back."

"I was able to make some judgments about the driver zombie and the tough guy zombie based on their physical characteristics and behavior. But I'm a little unsure about the three female zombies. What's the difference between them and ordinary zombies?"

"If that were all, the situation wouldn't be too bad. The problem is that behind these zombies, there are also a large number of Lickers. From what I've observed, there are no fewer than thirty of them. Add to that these five mutated zombies, and I have no choice but to risk coming back to inform the leader."

Su Yu explained the situation to everyone, and his words caused everyone present to gasp in surprise.

Chen Bin's eyes twitched slightly. An Qiluo remained silent. Chu Tianyang's expression was uncertain, as if he was considering how to protect his wife.

Sitting on the sofa, Fu Xueying clenched her hands together, nervously fidgeting with her index finger.

At this moment, Cheng Li, who was holding Su Yu's arm, hugged him even tighter.

The bank's foreman, Chi Feng, the fat manager, Zeng Fuyuan, and the petty thug, Lu Renjia, were in a chaotic mess, as if the end of the world was about to come, living in constant fear.

Only Mao Xingzhou suddenly stood up from the sofa, pointed at Su Yu's nose, and questioned him sharply.

"You didn't lure the zombies here, did you, thinking of getting revenge on us?"

Mao Xingzhou's words were truly piercing, and unintentionally, they struck a chord with Su Yu.

Everyone had different expressions, but their eyes all turned to Su Yu.

Regardless of whether it's revenge or not, as long as Su Yu brought these zombies here, a grudge has definitely been formed, and it's questionable whether he can even get out of this room.

"It's me, so what?"

Despite the stares of the crowd, Su Yu remained unfazed.

In situations like this, explanations become cover-ups, and cover-ups become the truth.

Su Yu wouldn't be foolish enough to fall into the trap of proving his own innocence; he preferred to muddy the waters rather than prove his own innocence.

"Before asking this kind of question, you should think about what you have done that would attract retaliation from others. It is said that if you do nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. You are a typical case of doing too many wrong things, so you see everyone as a ghost."

Su Yu was not one to be trifled with either; with just a few words, he dragged Mao Xingzhou into the mess.

"you......"

Mao Xingzhou was so angry that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Didn't I say that if I came back alive, I would settle accounts with you for making me a cannon fodder to draw away the Lickers for you?"

With things having developed to this point, Su Yu decided not to tolerate Mao Xingzhou anymore and chose to confront him directly.

Pointing his finger at Mao Xingzhou, Su Yu launched into a tirade, recounting all the stupid things the guy had done since entering the game.

For example, when Chen Bin asked him to make a map, this bastard shot someone in the street, and when others went to find food, Mao Xingzhou took the opportunity to sleep with a female newcomer.

"Look at all the mess you've made. Not a single thing has made the team leader worry-free. You've only ruined your teammates and exacerbated internal conflicts. You're just lucky to have gotten along with everyone else. Otherwise, instead of coming back to report, if you could actually lure the zombies here, I would have brought all the zombies from Water Bear City here and made sure you, you idiot, died without a burial place."

Su Yu's words not only clarified the conflict between him and Mao Xingzhou, but also cleared him of suspicion.

Upon careful consideration, everyone realized that this was indeed the case.

Luring zombies is one thing, but the other party has absolutely no need to get involved.

Mao Xingzhou wanted to say something more, but Su Yu didn't give him a chance to speak.

Ignoring Chen Bin and the others' attitudes, Su Yu shook off Cheng Li and charged towards Mao Xingzhou, his figure like a nimble cheetah.

"Fuck you, I've wanted to fuck you for ages. You have no martial arts skills whatsoever, and you think you can bully me?"

In terms of physical fitness alone, Su Yu, who had his seed activated, wasn't much worse than Mao Xingzhou.

Given the extremely short distance between them, Su Yu caught Mao Xingzhou completely off guard when the fight broke out suddenly.

By the time Mao Xingzhou reacted, Su Yu had already rushed in front of him.

Everyone saw Su Yu throw a punch, which landed squarely on Mao Xingzhou's left cheek.

boom!

Mao Xingzhou was sent flying backward by Su Yu's punch, his body crashing heavily against the wall like a broken sack before falling to the ground.

"hiss......"

Cheng Li gasped; she had witnessed Su Yu's strength firsthand.

One punch can crack a cement wall.

Cheng Li didn't even dare to think about how much pain Mao Xingzhou must have felt after taking that punch from Su Yu.

"Hey, you fucking dare to lay a hand on me?"

Mao Xingzhou, who had fallen to the ground, cursed filthily.

With his fist slamming into the ground, Mao Xingzhou used one arm to brace himself as if to get up.

Su Yu was not about to give him that chance. With the thought that if he didn't kill the snake, he would be bitten by it, and he would take advantage of the situation to kill him. Before the other man could get up, Su Yu rushed to Mao Xingzhou's side, stretched out his hands, put his left arm around Mao Xingzhou's neck, and used his right hand to hold down his chin.

"Try moving again, and I promise I'll break your neck!"

Su Yu was not threatening Mao Xingzhou; he genuinely intended to kill him.

With just a little force, he could easily end Mao Xingzhou's life.

They had to clear themselves of suspicion for attracting the zombies. If only killing Mao Xingzhou could put Chen Bin and the others at ease, Su Yu wouldn't mind spending a thousand points to lull these veteran players into a false sense of security.

Considering he's been out there for so long and killed quite a few zombies, he should still have a thousand points in the Magic Cube Space.

"You're trash who doesn't even have any special abilities."

Mao Xingzhou also became anxious, his eyes bloodshot. He struggled to turn his head and glanced at Su Yu out of the corner of his eye.

At this critical moment of life and death, Mao Xingzhou attempted to activate his special ability in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle.

Su Yu saw through Mao Xingzhou's thoughts at a glance and began to exert force in his hands.

Despite Mao Xingzhou's desperate resistance, his head was still turned to the side at an extremely unnatural angle.

That's enough.

At the crucial moment, Chen Bin's voice rang out.

boom......

For some reason, the moment Su Yu heard Chen Bin's voice, her mind went completely blank.

It felt like his head had been hit by a heavy hammer. Su Yu stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Mao Xingzhou wasn't much better off; he fell headfirst to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"What happened?"

Recovering from his brief moment of distraction, Su Yu quickly looked around.

He discovered that An Qiluo's body was enveloped in a cloud of silver mist, just as it had been when she fought the Licker.

At this moment, An Qiluo's eyes emitted a cold, sharp light, like a blade piercing through the fog. Her powerful aura forced Su Yu to lower his head, not daring to meet her gaze.

"No matter what grudges you have, now is not the time to settle accounts. Killing Mao Xingzhou may have made you feel better, but have you thought about whether it was really worth it? You should know that a thousand points can buy a lot of things on the item list in the Magic Cube Space."

An Qiluo reprimanded Su Yu with a cold face.

As soon as she spoke, even Chen Bin, the leader of the group, fell silent.

Whether from a personal or practical standpoint, Chen Bin still had to give his aunt face.

"And Mao Xingzhou, you've already wronged Su Yu. Consider this incident a lesson. Just like he said, you're not playing a good role in this team. You really should think about what to do in the future."

An Qiluo glanced at Mao Xingzhou, who was getting up from the ground, and said in a deep voice.

Mao Xingzhou remained silent, staring at Su Yu with venomous eyes.

Since An Qiluo had said that, he naturally didn't dare to bite the bullet and fight Su Yu to the death in front of her.

But Mao Xingzhou had no intention of letting Su Yu go, thinking to himself that this kid would eventually be alone.

If this kid falls into his hands, Mao Xingzhou guarantees he won't let him die too easily.

"Su Yu, come here and take a look. Is that the mutated zombie you were talking about?"

An Qiluo shifted her gaze from Mao Xingzhou and looked out the window again.

She greeted Su Yu, but even with her good temper, An Qiluo was unwilling to waste time on someone like Mao Xingzhou.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu walked to An Qiluo's side, raised his binoculars, and looked down at the street below the hotel.

Except for Mao Xingzhou, everyone in the room gathered around the window.

Even though the newcomers didn't have binoculars, they couldn't see the situation below at all.

But after seeing this, the newlyweds felt much more at ease.
