NOVEL NEXT Chapter 462: Only Self-Salvation
Ye Xuan did not notice the admiration in Zhou Shan's eyes as he looked at him, for at this moment, Ye Xuan's eyes were focused on the mutants in front of him.
For Ye Xuan, to survive in this Death Game, to fight those players who had been through the internal test and owned A-grade cards, what he could do was to become even stronger than them.
So, all these before him were points.
Thinking this, Ye Xuan had already dashed out fiercely, his silk threads swiftly weaving through the mutants, with the game continually making the "Dudu" sound of points increasing.
Such sounds increased the pleasure Ye Xuan felt.
After this wave of head harvesting, Ye Xuan believed he would be almost at level 20.
With this thought, Ye Xuan began to frenzy in the midst of the mutant crowd.
Zhou Shan, following behind, watched Ye Xuan weave through the crowd; Ye Xuan was agile, his hands capable of releasing flames and silk threads, and he possessed great strength—even without using flames or silk threads, he could blow a mutant's head off with a single kick.
This man named "Ye Xuan", damn, it suited him so well—the way he's reaping heads now is just like a blade in the hands of Ye Xuan.
"Back already?" Tang Xuerou looked at Ye Xuan joining the fight, a smile also appeared on the corners of her lips.
"Hmm, whether the head captain can come back or not will depend on his will." Ye Xuan said.
Tang Xuerou looked at Ye Xuan, laughter in her eyes: "I really didn't expect you to handle the situation this way."
"After all, it's a game world, no need to be too serious. If I became a mutant, I wouldn't just die either; I would still try my best to survive," Ye Xuan said, kicking away a mutant beside him.
Tang Xuerou didn't speak, only chuckled lightly.
After Zhou Shan arrived, he rallied those members of the action team who were not infected and they joined the battle together. Soon enough, Ye Xuan and his group had eliminated all the mutants in the factory.
In the end, apart from Ye Xuan and a few others, there were only thirteen members left in Zhou Shan's action team.
The group sat at the entrance of the rescue station, starting to eat food to replenish their energy.
"You're... heading to the biological laboratory next, right?" Zhou Shan asked, looking up at Ye Xuan while eating.
"Mm."
"Thank you."
"It's nothing," Ye Xuan said.
Li Hui couldn't help but laugh upon hearing Ye Xuan's words.
Ye Xuan, seeing Li Hui's laughing face, reached out and knocked on Li Hui's head.
"Boss, do you know how much of a straight guy you are?" Li Hui said, leaning closer to Ye Xuan, lowering his voice: "When someone like He Yalan says that, you should just go with it..."
"Talk about your sister," Ye Xuan replied, annoyed.
Li Hui just went 'Heh heh,' drinking his beverage and didn't speak anymore.
"Brother, thank you," Dudu also raised her head at this moment and said this to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked at Dudu and smiled, not saying anything.
After eating the last piece of biscuit, Ye Xuan stood up: "Get ready to go."
"Captain Zhou Shan, you..." He Yalan also stood up, but she was still somewhat worried about Zhou Shan and his team.
"This base was personally established by the Commander in Chief. Although we've suffered heavy losses now, we still want to try our best to guard it in place of the Commander in Chief until he recovers, and then discuss what to do next," Zhou Shan began to speak.
Ye Xuan looked at Zhou Shan, who was speaking, and seemed somewhat hesitant to speak his mind.
At the side, Tang Xuerou, seeing Ye Xuan's expression, seemed to guess what was on his mind: "If you have something to say, just say it."
He Yalan, hearing Tang Xuerou's words, turned to look at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan let out a slight sigh. This woman, Tang Xuerou, always managed to see through his thoughts.
"You all know the strength of the Shadow; he's caused chaos in your base this time. Even though he has left this place for now, it doesn't mean he has given up. The moment we leave, he could very well come back at any time."
This was precisely Ye Xuan's concern after hearing what Zhou Shan had said.
"You're right," Zhou Shan nodded and stood up, "However, this base was created by the Commander in Chief. Even if the Shadow wants to come back, I am prepared to fight to the end."
"Captain Zhou Shan... But, you're no match for the Shadow, the Shadow..." He Yalan looked at Zhou Shan, her eyes filled with additional concern.
Zhou Shan heard this and then laughed: "In this game of death, there is always someone better out there. If we can't even handle a single Shadow, what can we do in the future? It's all the same, simply waiting for death in the game."
Looking at Zhou Shan at this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly felt some admiration for him.
Though he knew he was no match for the Shadow, Zhou Shan still chose to fight him to the end.
In this game, no one can save another; to survive, one must save oneself.
"Since Captain Zhou Shan has chosen to stay here, then we should respect Captain Zhou Shan's decision," Ye Xuan said, looking at Zhou Shan.
He Yalan glanced at Ye Xuan, and there was still not much fluctuation in his emotions. She couldn't stop Zhou Shan's choice; what she needed to do now was to complete the Commander in Chief's orders, to take Dudu to the biological laboratory and find his mother.
"Ye Xuan, have a safe journey," Zhou Shan said to Ye Xuan.
"You too," Ye Xuan replied, then turned to glance at Li Hui and the others before setting out ahead.
After saying their goodbyes to Zhou Shan, Li Hui and the others left with Ye Xuan.
After fighting all night, everyone was exhausted, but Ye Xuan felt no sleepiness. After getting into the car and seeing that everyone was asleep, Ye Xuan drove towards the direction of Jin'an City.
According to the Commander in Chief, the biological laboratory was located at the junction of Jin'an City and Tianmeng City. Just following the highway straight ahead would get them there.
"Brother."
In the darkness, Dudu's voice sounded again.
Ye Xuan raised his eyes to look in the rearview mirror; Dudu sat in the darkness, his large eyes staring intently at Ye Xuan.
"Can't sleep?" Ye Xuan's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Yeah," Dudu nodded, his sadness evident to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan looked at the roadside signs, then spoke: "We've already left Tianmeng City; we should arrive soon."
"My dad said that the biological laboratory is located three kilometers north along the Tianmeng City expressway. That's the junction with Jin'an City," Dudu said.
Ye Xuan nodded: "We're already on the expressway. It seems you will be able to see your mother very soon."
"I don't know why, but I feel very sad," Dudu said, lowering his head again.
Ye Xuan looked out at the heavy darkness of the night outside the window, there should only be about an hour left before dawn, but the darkness was terrifyingly dense.
