Chapter 1010: Look, Boss!? Near Death?!

~7 min read 1,249 words

One injection, and the effect is outstanding.

In a few seconds, the severely wounded body instantly recovers to its original state.

Lu Junsheng slightly moves his muscles and joints, and his eyes still show a faint lingering tremor.

Undoubtedly, the Blood Ghost's punch gave him a direct psychological scar.

A player that even "Control" cannot restrain.

He has never seen it before.

"Hm?"

He, who was trying to locate the Blood Ghost's silhouette, suddenly discovers in shock—

The huge Air-raid Shelter is completely empty!

To be precise, aside from those lying on the ground, the entire space is silent.

Strangely, it resembles a silent film.

"Where are the people?"

Lu Junsheng looks left and right, searching everywhere, but finds nothing.

This completely defies logic.

One must know that an Air-raid Shelter, as a disaster refuge, usually has anywhere from thirty thousand to fifty thousand people scrambling to get in.

Even when they were battling the Blood Ghost at that time.

There was a continuous stream of crowds queuing outside.

But how…

Lu Junsheng lowers his gaze to the time and discovers he was only unconscious for half an hour.

What happened during that half hour?

Holding his confusion, he looks at the companion lying on the ground.

He immediately steps forward to check.

"Miss Wang!"

Wang Yuning's injuries aren't severe; only half of her skeleton is shattered.

Wen Ran, not far away, is the same.

Lu Junsheng calls out a few times, and Wang Yuning slowly awakens.

She looks around bewildered, instinctively raises her hand to try to prop herself up.

But the moment she moves, a wave of excruciating pain strikes.

"Sss~"

Her whole body instantly goes limp, her face covered with pain.

"You're badly wounded, where is the Injection?" Lu Junsheng asks.

Wang Yuning bites her lower lip and points to her trouser pocket.

Lu Junsheng doesn't have time for that, and quickly pulls out the Injection.

Soon, Wang Yuning regains Full Flourishing Posture.

She exhales deeply, runs to Wen Ran's side and extracts her Injection.

"You go check the others."

Lu Junsheng nods, first searches and finds Ximen Zhirou over a hundred meters away.

He activates the Hand Ring's Flashlight function and shines it on him.

If you don't look, you won't know.

Once you look, you're startled.

He sees Ximen Zhirou's clothes shattered into cloth pieces, and his chest conspicuously caved in.

Leaving a clearly visible shoe-print outline.

The whole body has begun to stiffen; if nothing unexpected happens, a few more minutes could mean death.

Lu Junsheng, while rummaging in his pocket, prays he hasn't already used up the Injection.

Suddenly, he feels a hard object at the ankle.

He lifts the pant leg and discovers the Injection bound with tape.

"Found it!"

Lu Junsheng feels joy, quickly removes the syringe and injects.

"Cough—"

Ximen Zhirou slowly opens his clouded eyes, his mouth continuously mumbling.

"What did you say?" Lu Junsheng leans down to listen more carefully.

"Look…look…Boss!"

Because Ximen Zhirou's injuries are too severe, his recovery will take longer.

He shakily presses the Hand Ring, abruptly projecting a slightly blurry image.

In the picture is a commercial street, the archway name clearly visible—'Zijin Fang'.

Amid the bustling crowd, Lu Junsheng notices a young man holding Lemon Tea and stinky tofu.

He instinctively pushes with both fingers to enlarge.

Even though the pixels are blurry, Lu Junsheng recognizes it at a glance due to familiarity.

"Is that really Su Yang?!"

He can't help but widen his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

He immediately stared sharply at the now gradually fully recovered Ximen Zhirou, "Where did this photo come from?"

Ximen Zhirou gulped several breaths, feeling the suffocating pressure in the Lung completely vanish.

"I passed by Zijin Fang yesterday and happened to see a Silhouette that looked a lot like the Boss."

"I was busy carrying out the Task at the time, so I didn't pursue it closely."

"After completing the Task I went back, and happened to see a dedicated publicity crew taking photos."

"I asked him for a camera, and using the timestamp recorded in the photos I located this one."

"At first I didn't dare to be sure, thinking I might have just misread it or that it simply resembled someone."

"So I didn't act rashly."

Lu Junsheng examined it carefully for a few glances, convinced this must be Su Yang.

"He is actually also in White Bear City!"

This news is undoubtedly a heavy Bomb.

It detonated with a thunderous boom in the Brain!

Joy suddenly filled his heart.

"Have you shown it to anyone else?" Lu Junsheng, while excited, didn't forget to ask.

"Only you." Ximen Zhirou, whose body had mostly recovered, slowly stood up.

Lu Junsheng, hearing that, couldn't help wanting to share this great news.

Before he could open his Mouth, Ximen Zhirou said, "Can you be 100% certain that the person in the picture is the Boss?"

Lu Junsheng wore a strange expression, "Don't you also think it looks alike, which is why you deliberately turned back after the Task was completed?"

"Indeed, but…"

Ximen Zhirou was about to speak but stopped, a complex hue flashing in his eyes, "The world is unpredictable, and so are people."

"Who can guarantee that what I saw wasn't deliberately arranged by someone?"

Lu Junsheng suddenly didn't understand, asking in doubt, "Do you think someone wants to harm you?"

Ximen Zhirou nodded, "I belong to Tenglong Company; my status is placed here, naturally giving me a side to take."

"If I become a hunting target of another player, how could I not guard against it?"

"Before being 100% sure, temporarily keep hope in the stomach."

"Of course, we also cannot completely ignore the facts."

"I showed the photo also because you and the Boss have spent more time with it than we have, perhaps you can discern something."

Lu Junsheng, hearing that, gave a slight nod; his words also had some merit.

If it's a Trap, rashly searching without knowing the full picture easily falls into the scheme of a schemer.

Of course, consider the problem from another angle.

If Su Yang is truly in White Bear City, that would be a tremendous benefit for them.

Putting aside everything else, just the planning alone would save ninety percent of idle effort.

"Should we not show them first?" Lu Junsheng asked.

"I worry the bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment; for now you and I should keep it in the stomach," Ximen Zhirou said.

"Alright." Lu Junsheng agreed, then shifted tone, "First go see the others."

Ximen Zhirou, restored to peak condition, stopped abruptly after only a few steps.

He instantly turned back, looking toward the depths of the Air-raid Shelter, his gaze flickering.

Lu Junsheng noticed a person missing beside him, turned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Where did everyone go?" Ximen Zhirou asked.

"I don't know either; I woke up like this," Lu Junsheng shook his head.

Ximen Zhirou furrowed his Brow, carrying his confusion to Zhuang Wu's side.

His injury wasn't severe, just the Brain had been stepped on a few times.

A single injection would finish it.

As for Wang Defa…

The five formed a circle, staring at the Silhouette in the pit, each falling into silence.

He was seen with his Brain and Neck bent at a ninety-degree angle, deeply sunk into the ground.

The entire ground was covered with bloodstains.

It's not hard to imagine the amount of Torture he endured in life.

"Alas…"
