Chapter 218: All Members Die
He stared at the scene in shock, unable to believe that the last member of the Fat Alliance Squad had died like this.
"Damn it! Damn it! What is going on here?"
Announcement: The Fat Alliance Squad has all died in this dungeon.
S-class dungeon: Evolutionary Food Company is about to arrive in Feija City.
With Wen Lan’s death, all the livestream perspectives from the Fat Alliance Squad turned to black screens.
The livestream chat immediately exploded.
"Damn it! I still have a 30-year mortgage. It’s all in Fei-Ha."
"What the hell?"
"We need to seriously investigate Mo Xian. How did he even become the captain?"
"I can’t take it. I just ate a piece of beef. Why does my head feel itchy?"
"I’m still at work. Why does my boss’s gaze feel off?"
Various chat messages exploded, but only moments later, the activity in the chat dropped significantly.
And not just the Fat Alliance Squad’s perspectives.
Even the Jochi Squad began to fall into chaos.
"Wild boar pap."
"The what?"
"What’s going on?"
"Why is someone killing people out of nowhere?"
"Khai, this doesn’t even make sense."
"There’s no way this should happen."
"Triggering a death condition out of nowhere."
"Jochi’s deepest affection."
"Damn. Shen Yu and them wouldn’t have..."
Just as the chat was buzzing with activity—
Buzz!
In the narrow corridor, a thin knife groove suddenly appeared.
This time, it cut horizontally across the entire corridor, creating a snake-like groove on the floor that violently swept toward Shen Yu and the others.
"Damn, Vice Captain! Yaning, you all run! Run! Get out of here!"
"Hurry!"
Chu Chang’an shouted, pulling Wen Lan’s corpse and running toward the slashing groove on the floor that was sending out a mist-like spray.
But—
The twisted groove on the ground slashed forward.
Whether it was Chu Chang’an or the upper half of Wen Lan’s body that he was dragging, a flash of light passed by them.
The groove on the ground didn’t stop even for a second.
It cut straight through under Chu Chang’an’s feet.
Cut!
A point of light flashed at the center of Chu Chang’an’s forehead, traveling down his nose, jaw, chest, and abdomen, all the way to his feet.
In an instant, he was split in half, falling to the ground.
His mouth mumbled,
"Damage, damage!"
Trying to activate Damage Transfer to transfer the damage to Wen Lan’s body, his lips trembled.
But before he could finish the sentence, his body was already split in half.
Chang’an, the companion who always wore gold-rimmed glasses, had just died right in front of them.
Even though the marks were about to appear, Yaning, Ning Su, and Shen Yu all froze for a moment in disbelief.
Dead.
Zhu Chang’an died just like that, without any reason.
"Damn."
"Damn!"
"Seventh floor."
"The resident on the seventh floor is called Long Zhen."
"Right."
"Come out. Come out here. I don’t care what animal you are. Come out!"
Ning Su shouted, but before he could finish—
Whoosh!
Another flash of knife light came.
Thud!
Ning Su’s face still showed anger, but his head flew off his neck.
His headless body sprayed blood in a puff-puff sound before collapsing to the ground with a loud boom.
"Ning Su!"
"Ning Su!"
Yaning’s eyes were already red, her whole body trembling as she looked at the bodies of the two teammates on the ground.
But the more tragic the moment, the more unexpectedly calm Yaning became.
Her lips were tightly bitten as she pulled Shen Yu’s hand and ran toward the elevator.
"Go!"
"Shen Yu, you’re the only hope for our Jochi Squad."
"Hurry up!"
"You can’t die."
"You can’t die."
Step, step, step.
As they rushed forward—
Whoosh!
This time, a knife light flashed above their heads, directly falling down horizontally.
Cold frost.
Crack, crack, crack.
Yaning’s pupils suddenly went white, staring at the sky above her as layers of frost appeared around her, immediately encasing everything within a five-by-five-meter area.
Crack, crack, crack.
Under the ultra-low temperature, everything started to slow down until it froze.
"Time, stop."
Crack.
As the frost enveloped the surroundings, Yaning stood in the center of the frost.
She pushed Shen Yu away.
Her eyes were filled with determination.
"Go, Shen Yu."
"Go!"
Whoosh!
The knife light falling from above had now turned into a tangible ice shard hanging in the air.
Shen Yu stared blankly at Yaning’s actions.
His fists clenched as he ran desperately toward the elevator.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!"
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Why?"
"Why are we on the seventh floor?"
"Why would the seventh floor randomly kill people?"
"Where the hell is Long John?"
"Damn it!"
Blood was drawn from his palm by his own nails.
When Shen Yu reached the elevator, he quickly pressed the button.
But his face froze.
Completely frozen in place at the elevator entrance.
Because no matter how much he pressed the elevator button, the screen didn’t show any indication of the elevator moving up or down.
"It’s useless."
"The elevator simply won’t come."
"How could this happen?"
"How could this happen?"
Whoosh!
This time, a white knife mark suddenly shot out from inside the elevator.
Shen Yu felt a chill on his neck.
His head instantly flew off his neck, rolling across the floor for several rounds before slowly stopping.
The spinning head, still conscious, saw endless hanging pictures spinning on the wall.
He stared blankly at everything.
Suddenly, a hanging picture caught Shen Yu’s attention.
It was an oil painting filled with tree canopies and green waves.
In his mind, something faintly clicked.
Shen Yu glanced at the corpses of his teammates on the ground.
His face hardened.
"Damn."
"Next time, I won’t let anyone die."
"No."
"It’s over."
"The whole team is wiped out."
"Damn."
"How could this happen?"
"And Shen Yu’s dead too."
"No."
"I’m still in Jochi."
Just as the barrage completely collapsed, and just as Shen Yu’s head lost its light—
A calm voice echoed.
"Perfect timeline!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The surrounding scenery instantly turned black and white.
Shen Yu’s head, spinning on the ground, reversed and flew back to his neck.
The bodies of the fallen teammates slowly reconnected.
The scene was rapidly rewinding.
In the tree canopy.
The speech from the noon meeting.
The decisions made during last night’s cooperation.
The scene kept rewinding.
Rewinding.
Rewinding.
Until—
"Shall we go, Deputy Leader? Let’s check out the second floor."
At the elevator entrance, Shen Yu opened his eyes.
Ning Su was pressing the elevator button, looking at him.
"Ha!"
And Shen Yu came back to his senses, looking at the pitch-black cafeteria around him, a little disoriented.
"This is back to the night of the first day I came to Evolution Food Company."
At that time, their team had completed the contract signing.
"Come on. Back to the dorm early."
He planned to check with Ning Su how high their mutation levels were. It was precisely after this night that Yang Hua was made into lamb rice for dinner the next day.
"Back, back at the best moment."
"This time, I must find out everything."
Shen Yu was squinting when he suddenly changed his words.
"We’re not going to the second floor."
"Ha?"
"Then let Chu Chang’an and Mo Xian go away. What are we going to do now?"
"Wait."
"Now go to the girls’ dorm. I have something I want to check."
"Ha!"
Brothers curious about the blind date result.
Imagine me as Mo Xian facing the pigeon. I didn’t have time to jump.
After hearing a bunch of demands, I ran away.
Of course, there are good girls too. Probably haven’t met yet.
"Deputy, you’re not acting with us, right?"
Ning Su froze at his words.
"Not really."
The one who had just gone downstairs with such a decisive face had suddenly, inexplicably, changed his mind in such a short time.
It shouldn’t be.
"Go to the girls’ dorm. What can be done at the girls’ dorm?"
Ning Su couldn’t understand, and Shen Yu didn’t explain.
Walking toward the girls’ dorm while watching the skill icons at the corner of his eyes, he saw that Mirror Flower Water Moon and Perfect Timeline had already dimmed.
But the previously used Memory Alteration had lit up again.
Why?
The answer was simple.
Shen Yu had returned to the day before using Memory Alteration, so this skill, which could only be used once in this dungeon, had been restored.
Actually, he could go back even earlier and restore Mirror Flower Water Moon too.
But thinking carefully, if he really went back further—
On the first day, the company’s business still had to go out.
He still had to deal with Mo Xian.
No one could help.
They were destined to meet on the fifth floor.
So returning to this night was the best moment.
Perhaps doing this might make more of Wen Lan’s subordinates’ corpses—
Hiss.
"If that’s the case, then my strategy favorability must start over too."
"Damn it!"
His face turned pale and green as he walked toward the girls’ dorm, and Shen Yu instinctively touched the Maafa Incense in his arms.
This thing had now been restored to its original state.
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
In the darkness, their footsteps echoed as they moved forward.
"Stop right there!"
Boom!
The door of a bedroom along the corridor suddenly opened.
A wave of freezing cold air drifted out.
Yaning held the half-conscious Yang Hua as she rushed out of the room.
"Yaning, what?"
"What’s happening?"
Seeing this, Ning Su immediately rushed forward, looking into the room.
"Who?"
"Who?"
"Blackthorn Wild Boar."
A Blackthorn Wild Boar as big as a tiger, its eyes glowing red, crouched in the room.
Steam constantly flowed from its mouth.
Its legs forcefully pushed against the ice on the ground, producing a chilling crack, crack sound.
"What the hell?"
"This, this..."
"There are pets in the dorm?"
Ning Su was dumbfounded again.
"You... Ning Su, and you... Shen Yu. How did you come here?"
Seeing Shen Yu, Yaning was more happy than surprised.
She hurriedly grabbed his arm, ready to run toward the boys’ dormitory.
"Go, go!"
"This thing is hard to handle."
"Wait."
"Hey."
"Wait."
"What?"
Shen Yu stopped, pushing away Yaning’s hand and unexpectedly blocking the doorway.
"Shen Yu, are you crazy?"
"We don’t need to provoke this thing."
"We—"
"Ning Su, go to the cafeteria. Wait for Chu Chang’an to come, and call him to come with you."
"As for this guy..."
Plop.
Shen Yu took out the Maafa Incense from his arms and decisively lit it.
Black-red incense smoke rose.
A stinking black mist formed, and a terrifying, misty skeleton hovered behind Shen Yu.
"Who?"
"Who?"
"Who?"
As the skeleton formed, the Blackthorn Wild Boar struggling in the ice froze.
Its eyes widened with fear.
Its body trembled as it crouched down.
"Yaning, take Yang Hua to the boys’ dorm first."
"This thing, I’ll handle."
Shen Yu watched the burning speed of the Maafa Incense.
