[Friends, this plot twist is quite unexpected! Did those three members of the Money Tree team betray Qin Shaoyu?]

[Holy crap, how dare they? Qin Shaoyu is so popular in the team, aren't they afraid of settling scores with them when they get back?]

[Aside from Wang Su (who has no real power), those two probably didn't think much of Qin Shaoyu either, right? Their previous relationship was purely out of politeness, but they likely harbored resentment for a long time, and this is a good opportunity for them to sabotage Qin Shaoyu.]

To be honest, Qin Shaoyu's popularity is inflated. People come to worship him because of his reputation as the God of Wealth, not because of his personal charm.

[His virtue doesn't match his position, and this can be considered a backlash. I think the most unfair thing about the Misfortune System is that the amount of money spent in the live stream is also converted into experience points, which means that players who focus on clearing the game without using any tricks level up faster than this opportunistic guy—do you think he deserves the Grandmaster rank? Even if he's only Grandmaster IV, his ability is at most Platinum.]

[He's definitely not worthy. I used to be on the Money Tree team, but I left. I can testify that Qin Shaoyu's relationship with the team was just so-so, and he wasn't that popular. The captain just used him because of his popularity to recruit new members for the team. However, he did contribute a lot to the team's funds.]

[Hey, all that talk, isn't he just a rich, gullible mascot? They value his luck because they think it brings benefits to the team. I heard they initially wanted to recruit that lucky koi doll too, but Tang Yunxi thought they were too tacky and didn't even bother.]

[Mascot isn't a derogatory term, but I think their team really treated Qin Shaoyu like a fool. I feel Qin Shaoyu is somewhat aware of this, but he's just deceiving himself and refusing to admit it.]

Sigh, actually I quite like Qin Shaoyu. In my eyes, he's the kind of handsome, funny comedian. I don't really want him to die like this. Can't he at least stay alive?

[What you're saying to us won't work. You need to tell Yi Zanglan. I guarantee that even if his attack power is already A+, Yi Zanglan could kill him with a single blow.]

[The car's gone, what's the point of keeping him around? Of course we should just kill him, take the zombie kill record, and squeeze every last bit of value out of him.]

……

Inside the game, judging from the atmosphere in the live stream, preparations were already underway to send Qin Shaoyu off to his grave.

Outside the game, Qin Shaoyu's legs were so weak that he remained kneeling on the ground, unable to stand up for a long time.

The other four people stood in a circle around him, remaining silent for a long time before Yan Zhao finally spoke first.

"Why is he kneeling like this? We're about the same age, and we can't accept such a grand gesture. Should we give him a red envelope or something?"

"Grandma, please, stop making fun of me." Qin Shaoyu pleaded, his face contorted with grief, his eyes red-rimmed. "It was my fault. I thought that even though they looked down on me behind my back, at least they were teammates here and should come to pick me up. Who knew..."

"Because Wang Su will definitely tell those two that your luck value has been changed, and we are not easy to mess with—for them, it is definitely more worthwhile to just steal the SUV than to go through the trouble of rescuing you."

"Yes...yes...they know very well that without luck points and without using skills, I'm just a piece of trash."

Tang Yunxi, who overheard this, couldn't help but retort: ​​"You can't say that, can you? Your mental strength is quite high, isn't it? Apart from luck, my other talents are just average, but I think I'm still very useful. You have to work hard to realize your value and make others respect you."

Qin Shaoyu gave a bitter smile: "Do I still have that chance?"

Seeing his distraught appearance, Shen Yubai felt a little sorry for him, so he asked Yi Zanglan in a low voice.

"Lanlan, is it absolutely necessary to kill her?"

Yi Zanglan glanced at him with a half-smile: "You don't want to kill? Then let's all vote. Our team values ​​democracy."

"I don't care," Yan Zhao said. "Letting him continue following me is fine; I don't think he's got the brains to betray me."

"He just eats a bit too much," Tang Yunxi thought seriously for a moment, "but he's not exactly guilty of a heinous crime, so let's give him a chance."

"Hmm." Yi Zanglan nodded, leaned down to look at Qin Shaoyu, and said slowly, "Then give him a chance."

Qin Shaoyu looked up abruptly: "Really?"

"Stand up. Didn't you kneel enough at the factory?"

"Oh, oh!" Hearing this, he immediately perked up, jumped to his feet, and hurriedly pledged his loyalty, "Captain, don't worry, I'll definitely follow the team's lead. You tell me where to attack, I'll attack, absolutely no questions asked! And can I try to eat a little less?"

"Let's not talk about that now." Yi Zanglan shook his head calmly. "I never do anything that puts me at a disadvantage, so you can't stay in my team and have your kills counted in your original team's record."

Qin Shaoyu was taken aback: "You mean...?"

"If you live, your three former teammates will die. It doesn't matter who I kill, I have to get what I want."

"..."

Yan Zhao observed Qin Shaoyu's ever-changing expression and spoke in a meaningful tone.

"You're not being reluctant, are you? Guess what, if it were you, would they hesitate? Would they be willing to sacrifice themselves for you?"

Shen Yubai casually added, "Didn't we already have the answer to that question?"

"..."

Qin Shaoyu lowered his head, looking as aggrieved as an abandoned, non-mainstream purple-haired dog. He seemed to have made a huge decision, but reluctantly agreed.

"I understand. From the moment they abandoned me, I had nothing to do with the three of them anymore. Do whatever you want with me."

Yi Zanglan calmly gestured to Yan Zhao: "Alright, let's proceed. Don't we still have a location prompt? This time, let's select the mode of transportation."

Actually, before she even spoke, Yan Zhao had already clicked on the system interface, and a few seconds later he spoke fluently.

"It went smoothly. It's not far from here, in the country park in District F. It will take us about fifteen minutes to run there."

"That's not far at all."

Before the words were even finished, the four of them rushed out like arrows, about to burst out of the kindergarten gate in the blink of an eye.

While Qin Shaoyu was in a daze, he almost fell behind, so he quickly grabbed his fire axe and followed.

"Wait for me!"

* * * * * *

The 4+1 team raced along the main road, killing another wave of zombies along the way, and finally arrived at their target, the country park, within fifteen minutes.

Although the team members had varying levels of physical strength, no one fell behind along the way, and even Qin Shaoyu did not complain of being tired.

The park was filled with broken and fallen trees, large areas of grass were scorched, and the ground was covered with bloodstains, which looked like black asphalt that had been spilled.

They continued searching along the path, not knowing how long they had walked, until Yan Zhao inadvertently turned his head.

"...Lanlan."

She must have seen something; her expression was one of utter disbelief, and she suddenly froze.
