Chapter 27: Lin Yue'er's Decision

But just at this moment, those few corpse demons that had been taken out in seconds suddenly stood up from the ground again.

This made everyone present feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and one by one, they revealed expressions of astonishment.

Lin Yue'er and the great shield Warrior both trembled violently, and it gave them both a huge fright.

"Weren't they all dead? How are they all alive again?"

Lin Yue'er gritted her teeth, hurriedly assumed an attack stance, lowered her body, and gripped the long halberd in her hands tightly.

It was evident that Lin Yue'er's forehead was covered in sweat, and even the hand holding the halberd was trembling incessantly.

After waiting for two seconds, these corpse demons remained motionless, standing blankly in place, with absolutely no intention of launching an attack.

"What the hell is this?!"

Everyone, including the medical team in the rear, wore expressions of confusion and bewilderment, stunned by this bizarre scene.

But just at this moment.

Zhou Chu, with his head wrapped in bandages, revealing only two eyes and two nostrils, riding a crypt demon and surrounded by a team of skeleton crossbowmen, walked out from the fog.

Everyone present looked back almost at the same time, and each person's eyes were once again filled with deep fear.

"Damn it! We're finished! We've fallen into an ambush by the Calamity Legion!"

"Is that mummy riding the giant spider the BOSS?"

"So it was him controlling those corpse demons. What exactly is he trying to do? Is he trying to capture us alive as prisoners?"

"We will die before becoming prisoners! Everyone, attack together, fight him to the death!"

Although the members of the medical team were all Soul Profession support types, they all possessed some combat ability to a greater or lesser extent.

Upon seeing Zhou Chu appear, although they were all extremely terrified, they all wore expressions of being ready to die for their cause, prepared to fight for their lives.

"It's our own people, it's our own people!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chu hurriedly waved his hands and shouted.

Once the crowd heard this BOSS speaking "human language," the fear on their faces was replaced once again by expressions of suspicion.

Lin Yue'er, who was already exhausted, felt this voice was very familiar.

In less than a minute, the events that had transpired were truly too thrilling, leaving her heart unable to calm down for a long time.

For a moment, she actually couldn't recall who the owner of this voice was.

However, after calming down for a moment, she still thought of this person.

"Zhou Chu? Is that you?" Lin Yue'er dared not be certain.

Lin Yue'er had been ordered to lead the medical team to provide support at No. 69 Marking Point, but on the way, she had detected a distress signal sent from No. 55 Marking Point.

Therefore, she dispatched a few members to rush to No. 69 Marking Point, while she herself took the remaining members to rush to No. 55 Marking Point.

Moreover, the situation here was even worse than at No. 69.

Zhou Chu hurriedly pulled off the bandages on his head and revealed a smile: "It's me, Senior Sister Lin, don't be nervous."

Seeing Zhou Chu's face, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces still carried confusion.

"Zhou Chu, what is going on with these corpse demons?" Lin Yue'er asked, glaring at the few silly, dull-witted corpse demons in front of her, though she did not put down the long halberd in her hand, clearly still remaining on guard.

Zhou Chu jumped down from the back of the crypt demon and said with a smile: "Senior Sister, don't forget, I am a Necromancer; controlling these corpse demons is not difficult for me. I didn't expect to scare you all."

Lin Yue'er frowned slightly: "Why are you here? Are you all by yourself?"

As she spoke, Lin Yue'er even stretched her neck to look behind Zhou Chu.

Zhou Chu smiled: "Senior Sister, just me, no one else. Right now, I reckon everyone in Scout Team 1 who can still move has been deployed."

"With this yellow sand filling the sky, I got lost while walking, and I never thought I would meet you all here; it's truly great."

At this time, a female medical team member couldn't help but say: "Even if you can control corpse demons, appearing dressed like this is too scary. We thought we had been ambushed by the Calamity Legion."

Zhou Chu scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Sorry about that, the sandstorm here is really too strong, I was afraid of getting sand in my eyes."

Lin Yue'er said angrily: "Zhou Chu! You actually dared to set out on your own, are you tired of living? This is No. 55 Marking Point, one of the most dangerous regions in the Calamity Land."

"Do you think you can walk around this place at will just because you have a few tricks? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? What if we hadn't recognized you and attacked you directly?"

Immediately following this, Lin Yue'er's gaze landed on Xina beside Zhou Chu, and she then asked coldly: "Who is she?"

She could clearly sense that from the woman shrouded in the cloak, waves of intense Calamity Qi were being emitted from time to time.

Zhou Chu said: "She is my servant, Xina!"

Lin Yue'er looked Xina up and down, but the guard in her eyes did not diminish: "Hmph, Zhou Chu, acting so alone and disregarding team discipline will harm you sooner or later."

"And this is not a place for you to play the hero by yourself. We are a team, and all actions must follow orders. Since you are here, follow us and act together; do not act on your own again, understand?"

Zhou Chu nodded hurriedly and agreed readily: "Understood, Senior Sister."

Although he said so, it was impossible for Zhou Chu to actually do it.

The notorious No. 55 Demon Cave was right before his eyes, a place that even the top brass of the entire Exorcism Army found a headache; how could he possibly not go inside and take a look.

At this time, bizarre sounds came from the depths of No. 55 Marking Point from time to time, as if numerous monsters were stirring.

A medical team member said nervously: "Captain, this sound doesn't seem good."

Lin Yue'er gripped her long halberd and said helplessly: "No. 55 Marking Point is too dangerous; we must quickly take the wounded and retreat to the base. Every extra minute we stay here, our danger increases by one point."

"Now everyone, hurry and take the wounded and retreat..."

"Eh? Where is Zhou Chu? Who saw where Zhou Chu went?"

Just as Lin Yue'er finished giving the retreat order to the team members, she turned her head only to find Zhou Chu's figure missing.

The team members then looked left and right for Zhou Chu, but they could no longer find a trace of him.

At this moment, Zhou Chu had already transformed into a ghost and drifted toward the location of the No. 55 Demon Cave.

Lin Yue'er stomped her feet in anger: "This Zhou Chu, he is truly reckless!"

The great shield Warrior, having undergone brief treatment, walked over at this time and said with a serious expression: "Captain Lin, we have already notified headquarters; a new team will arrive at No. 55 soon. We should take the wounded and retreat first."

Lin Yue'er bit her lip: "No, Zhou Chu must have gone to the No. 55 Demon Cave; we cannot let him act recklessly on his own!"

A medical team member said anxiously, "Captain, but we are carrying the wounded now and our movement is restricted; if we go to look for Zhou Chu again, I fear everyone will fall into danger."

Lin Yue'er looked toward the direction of Demon Cave No. 55 and immediately made a bold decision.

"You all take the wounded back to the base safely first, I will go and bring him back. He shouldn't have gone far!"
