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

To be honest, it wouldn't take this many people just to collect food.

Su Yu, Jun Zhongding, Song Yuewen, and Liu Xin are the four newcomers, consisting of two men and two women.

He also planned to bring three experienced people with him, making a total of eight, which was already half of the total number of people.

Chen Bin glanced at the four people who had volunteered and pondered to himself who he should keep.

After a moment, Chen Bin made a decision and pointed at Song Yuewen.

"You don't need to go."

Chen Bin's words immediately made Song Yuewen, who had been somewhat uneasy, look much better.

The thought that she wouldn't have to deal with those zombies filled Song Yuewen with secret joy.

After Chen Bin's probing, she was the biggest winner. She proved her courage without having to put in any effort.

However, before Song Yuewen could even enjoy her happiness for a few seconds, Chen Bin's next words shattered her beautiful illusions.

"Old Chu, you and your wife, Auntie, Su Yu, Jun Zhongding, and Liu Xin, come with me to collect food. The rest of you stay on the sixteenth floor of the hotel."

"Although those of you who stay here don't need to collect food from the kitchen and the sales area, you shouldn't be idle. Before we come back, you need to clear out all the zombies on the sixteenth floor."

"I'm leaving Mao Xingzhou to you guys. This guy has gone through two survival killing games. Whether it's experience or strength, he's far superior to you newbies. You have to follow his instructions and, under his command, deal with the zombies hiding in the various rooms."

"Anyone who dares to shirk their work, or who doesn't work at all, don't blame me for kicking you out when I come back. You won't just end up starving."

At this point, Chen Bin let out a cold snort.

Chen Bin casually tossed a stack of room cards to Mao Xingzhou, indicating that while he was working, he should also keep an eye on these newcomers.

Mao Xingzhou chuckled as he caught the stack of room cards. Two of them fell to the ground, and he bent down to pick them up.

"Don't worry, boss, I love doing this job the most."

What's the point of collecting food? For Mao Xingzhou, the only way to enjoy the game is to stay put.

Not only can they direct new recruits to work, but they can also take the opportunity to spot which female recruits are easy to target, and even plunder the gold and silver valuables carried by the zombies.

Sure enough, as long as he was obedient enough, the boss would never forget him when there were any good things.

Mao Xingzhou licked his lips, his greedy gaze falling on the three remaining female brides.

"Hey, don't be so greedy. There are plenty of opportunities to make money. Leave some for the newbies. If you find anything valuable, give half of it to them. If they can make it back to their rooms alive and score over 200, they can exchange those things for a lot of money in the real world. They'll be motivated if there are benefits. Don't let these newbies gossip."

Chen Bin knew that saying this was useless; given Mao Xingzhou's insatiable nature, he would be lucky to give the newcomers even 30% of the spoils. But he still gave him a reminder.

If he hadn't told them, Mao Xingzhou wouldn't have given these newcomers a single gold nugget, and Chen Bin didn't want to get involved.

The newlyweds' eyes lit up when they heard that the gold and silver jewelry in the game could be brought back to the real world.

Especially Song Yuewen, who had just experienced being in heaven one second and falling into hell the next, lamenting the injustice of her fate for being stuck on the sixteenth floor, felt all the gloom in her heart vanish in an instant upon hearing Chen Bin's words.

On the other hand, Jun Zhongding and Liu Xin looked as if they had suffered a great loss.

"hehe......"

Su Yu chuckled inwardly. As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. To put it simply, no child cries every day, and no gambler loses every day. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Staying on the sixteenth floor of the hotel might seem like a chance to make a fortune, but in reality, it's just as dangerous as going out to collect food.

Letting that idiot Mao Xingzhou lead the team, do the newbies want to die even faster?

If, as Chen Bin said, the gold and silver treasures in the game could be brought back to reality, then there would be countless opportunities to make a fortune. Only by living well can one enjoy the unique benefits of the Magic Cube Space.

Su Yu wouldn't do a business where he could make money but not spend it.

"I'm gone."

Chen Bin greeted the newcomers and led the way to the door of room 1603.

Su Yu hurriedly followed, but stopped at the door because he heard someone calling him from behind.

Turning around, Su Yu saw Cheng Li limping towards him.

"Be careful after you go out."

Cheng Li was talking nonsense; she was just expressing her concern for Su Yu in this way.

Su Yu was well aware of this, but when faced with Cheng Li's concerned gaze, he still showed his reliable side.

Su Yu smiled at Cheng Li and whispered to her.

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring food and come back safely."

Su Yu wouldn't mind bringing some extra food on her way back and sharing some with Cheng Li.

In this way, he not only showed his humanity by not ignoring Cheng Li's mobility issues, but also lowered others' guard against him and gained her dependence, thus avoiding being isolated by the other newcomers in the team. Why not do it?

To Su Yu's surprise, Cheng Li mustered up her courage and reached out to hug him.

"Hmm..."

Su Yu stood there stunned; Cheng Li's actions were truly beyond his expectations.

The two had only met for a few hours and hadn't even exchanged many words when the woman hugged him in public and acted so intimately.

Cheng Li's body was very soft, and she carried a faint scent of perfume.

Su Yu's gaze moved past Cheng Li and landed on the other people in the room. In the eyes of Mao Xingzhou and the other newcomers, he saw a variety of emotions, such as envy, jealousy, and hostility.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

Whispering in Su Yu's ear, Cheng Li placed her hands on his shoulders and slowly shrank back.

Su Yu didn't say much, nodded to Cheng Li, and after she steadied herself, turned around and chased after Chen Bin and the others.

To be honest, Cheng Li wasn't Su Yu's type, and he couldn't possibly like her, not to mention that this woman was too calculating and clearly wanted to use him.

After Su Yu left, Cheng Li returned to her room. Before she could even sit down, the newlyweds around her started whispering among themselves.

"Lily, you're too bold."

Song Yuewen sat down next to Cheng Li, feeling a little envious.

She didn't envy Su Yu, but Cheng Li!

From the moment he entered the room until now, Su Yu's performance has far surpassed that of the other newcomers, and Song Yuewen has also taken a liking to the young man.

As a woman, Su Yu is not stunningly beautiful, but she is exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

In addition, he is reliable and humane, so Song Yuewen felt that if she could get on his good side, her chances of survival would definitely increase significantly.

"That's what you call striking first."

Cheng Li winked at Song Yuewen. With Su Yu gone, Song Yuewen was the only one in the room with whom she had the closest relationship, so of course she had to maintain it.

Putting aside the fact that the two are colleagues, just the fact that she and I both chose protective suits in the room with the red cube, and since we didn't have any guns, we had to stick together for warmth.

Li Ping witnessed this scene and was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Slutty fox."

Li Ping's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the room heard it clearly.

Cheng Li's face stiffened, and she looked at Li Ping with an unfriendly expression.

Li Ping snorted coldly, looked away, and deliberately avoided making eye contact with Cheng Li.

"Alright, let's get back to work. You've rested for so long, don't give me any excuses to shirk your duties."

Mao Xingzhou held a stack of room cards in his hand and addressed the people in the room.

At this moment, Su Yu caught up with Chen Bin and the others in the corridor.

When Fu Xueying, who was standing at the top of the stairs, saw Su Yu coming over, a smile appeared on her lips.

"I didn't realize you were so popular with women!"

Chong Suyu waved, and Fu Xueying gestured for him to take the stairs.

"Sister Xueying, please stop teasing me."

Su Yu shook his head with a wry smile; he didn't feel that he was particularly popular with women.

If the other person possessed the potential to be a perfect wife like Fu Xueying, Su Yu would be happy to accept them even if they weren't particularly attractive.

The problem lies in Cheng Li's overly ambitious nature. In terms of appearance, she is far superior to An Qiluo, and even Fu Xueying surpasses her by a large margin.

Su Yu would rather not have that kind of popularity with women.

On the other hand, Su Yu wasn't surprised at all that Chen Bin chose to take the stairs, because it was the right choice.

It was only Liu Xin, the bank employee who was wearing high heels, who suffered a lot. Not only did she exhaust herself, but Chen Bin also complained that the sound of her high heels hitting the ground was too loud, so he made her take them off after walking a short distance.

Liu Xin, who wasn't wearing stockings, was walking barefoot on the ground. Luckily, the hotel's emergency exit was relatively clean; otherwise, a sharp object would have definitely cut her feet.

The kitchen, restaurant, and sales area are located on the third floor. Chen Bin had already obtained this useful information from the receptionist in the lobby when he entered the hotel.

After descending more than a dozen flights of stairs, they glanced into the corridor through the emergency exit. Chen Bin frowned slightly; it seemed their good luck had run out!

There were no zombies in the emergency exit, but there were quite a few in the corridors, kitchen, dining room, and sales area on the third floor.

"Come on, show us!"

Leaning against the wall of the emergency exit, Chu Tianyang gestured for the three newlyweds to proceed.

"What are you going to show?"

Liu Xin didn't understand what was going on. Looking at the zombies inside the safety door, her legs trembled slightly.

"Of course it's your turn to make a move. This is a valuable opportunity for real combat. There are only ordinary zombies inside, so there's no need to even fire a shot. The three of you take turns going in to lure the zombies, while the other two wait outside the door. Once the zombies get close, make your move and try to kill them with one shot."

As Chen Bin spoke, he had Chu Tianyang hand over the fire axe he had grabbed from the emergency exit to Jun Zhongding and Liu Xin.

Chung Chung-ting was alright, but his hands trembled slightly as he took the fire axe.

Looking at Liu Xin again, the woman's face had turned green.

"I'm not good at it, so I'll just shoot. It'll be a good opportunity to practice my shooting."

Holding the M16 tightly in his arms, Liu Xin pleaded with Chen Bin.

"Are you kidding me? This is the emergency exit. If you fire a shot here, the entire building, all the zombies on the 20th floor and above, will hear it. It's not a problem for them to fire back. Go inside the emergency exit, and we'll close it tightly. You can fire as much as you want. But I have to remind you, including the magazines that come with the gun, you only have four magazines, about a hundred rounds. After you run out of bullets, you'll still have to fight the zombies hand-to-hand."

Chen Bin's expression was serious, showing no intention of intimidating Liu Xin.

Firearms are powerful tools for killing zombies when they have bullets, but without bullets, they're no better than the broom handle in Su Yu's hand.

Liu Xin's face fell. She had thought that coming with Chen Bin and the others to collect food would be an easy job, at most just helping to move some things. Who would have thought she would run into this kind of trouble.

Liu Xin felt that putting herself in hand-to-hand combat with zombies was no different from killing herself.

"Are you two even capable?"

Looking at the expressions of Jun Zhongding and Liu Xin, Su Yu was really uneasy about joining forces with these two.

"Alright, Lao Chu, you set an example for them first."

Chen Bin turned to Chu Tianyang and said that he no longer expected to find miracles from newcomers other than Su Yu.

"With me here, you can rest assured, right?"

Picking up the fire axe that should have belonged to Liu Xin, Chu Tianyang asked Su Yu.

"Thank you for your help."

Gripping the broom handle tightly, Su Yu spoke as he reached the safety gate.

Pushing open the security door, Su Yu stepped into the third-floor corridor, successfully attracting the attention of the zombies.

Seeing five or six zombies heading straight for him, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous at all.

Even so, Su Yu did not turn around and run away immediately, but instead rushed towards the zombies.

"This kid..."

Su Yu's actions were all observed by Chu Tianyang.

Muttering to himself, Chu Tianyang wondered how Su Yu planned to bring the zombies over.

At this moment, everyone outside the security door had retreated to the stairwell between the third and fourth floors, leaving only Chu Tianyang standing by the door, waiting to receive Su Yu.

"Die!"

Su Yu, who had already rushed to the zombie, let out a low roar.

Holding the broom handle firmly with one hand and gripping the end with the other, Su Yu thrust the pointed end towards the zombie.

puff......

The zombies, already slow-moving and unable to dodge attacks, were caught off guard by Su Yu's attack.

The sharp part of the broom handle pierced into the zombie's left eye socket, and semi-congealed dark red blood flowed out, emitting a foul stench.

Su Yu vigorously stirred the broom handle, then pushed it forward. The zombie, whose brain had been damaged, fell backward like a puppet with its head hanging off its strings.

Following behind the dead zombie, another zombie pounced on Su Yu.

Su Yu retreated and dodged, the zombie relentlessly pursuing him, but before it could take more than a few steps, the sharp broom handle pierced its head, causing it to suffer the same fate as its kind.

The zombies behind them were tripped up by the two dead zombies, then got up and slowly approached Su Yu.

"It's time to go."

Su Yu noticed that the commotion had already attracted the attention of the zombies in the kitchen, restaurant, and sales area.

Dealing with the remaining zombies isn't difficult; the real challenge is that zombies have escaped from the kitchen, restaurant, and sales area, potentially filling the entire third-floor corridor.

The terror of ordinary zombies lies not in the fact that you have to destroy their brains to kill them, but in the fact that these zombies are everywhere. Once their numbers reach an alarming level, even fully armed special police officers will be quickly swallowed up by the horde without sufficient firepower to suppress them.

Not to mention he didn't even have a gun; the only weapon he had was a broom handle.

My task is to lure the zombies away, lead some of them out, and then, with the help of my teammates, eliminate the zombies in batches.

Attracting too many zombies at once would go against the original plan, and Su Yu estimated that Chen Bin and the others would blame him.

Having made up his mind, Su Yu turned and retreated towards the safety door.
