Chapter 810: This Trap Isn't That Trap! Who Exactly Is It?

~7 min read 1,269 words

Three people crouched together beside the corpse, inspecting the goods the Zombie was carrying.

Scattered bits added up to more than Five Hundred Star Coins.

Undoubtedly, this is the key it uses to win trust.

It is also a means to make itself appear more like a "person."

Now the Zombie is dead, so the goods on its body are naturally Ownerless Objects.

"Split three ways?" Lu Zhiwei suggested.

"I can't fit it in my pocket," Su Yang said with a hint of regret.

"I can fit it in my pocket!" Qin Yu Zhou blurted out.

The words left his mouth when two sharp gazes met him.

He gave a rueful smile, hurriedly added, "What I mean is… I can hold it for you first, and return it later."

Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids and slowly said, "Your Innate Talent can Investigation the specific situation Inside the Building Entity; how many of the still‑uncollected goods remain?"

"Zero." Qin Yu Zhou raised his hand and drew a circle.

"Not a single item left?" Su Yang furrowed his brow slightly.

"Yes."

"Impossible, right?" Lu Zhiwei, harboring doubt, asked, "Inside the Building Body there are countless side paths, the area is so vast, we are only six, how could we pick up everything in such a short time?"

Su Yang shared the same doubt.

It should be noted that on the previous map they had been wandering inside for several hours, without even breaking through the outer region.

And Titan, as a higher‑level Hard Map, could not possibly be this easy.

Although Su Yang deliberately moved all the Monsters to the outer area to create a dilemma.

But the Monsters inside Titan are scattered; if one tries to traverse the whole map, one will inevitably encounter a few Monsters.

Moreover…

The terrain Inside the Building Entity changes daily.

That means… even after playing Deadly Company a hundred times, one cannot sweep through quickly based on experience.

Then…

Thinking this far, Su Yang's Scent Perception caught a hint of something amiss.

"Have you seen Qi Jie and Ji Huai?"

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

Lu Zhiwei asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's too quiet, quiet to a strange degree," Su Yang said.

"Really, isn't that a good thing? The big guy should hurry to finish the KPI, then part on good terms," Qin Yu Zhou said.

"When things deviate, there must be a Monster." Su Yang's eyes flickered.

"It should be you overthinking; the map is so big, not encountering them is normal," Lu Zhiwei said.

Su Yang pondered briefly, then said, "Let's split this pile first; Weiwei, you help hold my portion."

"Oh, okay."

Qin Yu Zhou felt a itch at the sight, and only after Lu Zhiwei finished selecting did he take the remaining.

Immediately, without a word of greeting, he turned and ran.

"Where are you going?" Lu Zhiwei shouted.

Qin Yu Zhou disappeared into the Corner without looking back.

"Nerve disease." Lu Zhiwei muttered.

Su Yang smiled, helplessly shook his head: "He's guarding against us, fearing we might strike him."

Lu Zhiwei was a bit puzzled, "If they wanted to act, they'd have killed him long ago; why wait until now?"

"Moreover, if he weren't still useful, yesterday he would already have been a corpse."

"Neither early nor late to leave, yet he picks this moment—could it be…?"

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, chuckling, "He still can't forget what I did to him."

Without a Blind Dog, Lu Zhiwei felt a bit regretful, but it was no serious matter.

Her memory was good; she had long memorized the way out and rehearsed it in her Brain repeatedly.

"In this crucial moment, Qin Yu Zhou worries he might become a sacrificial lamb; even if he survives by luck, he must guard against the threat of the Last‑place Elimination System," Su Yang explained.

"But he just said that everything inside the Building Body has been picked clean," Lu Zhiwei's eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"He may not be telling the truth, and who knows if he has hidden stash?" Su Yang said cryptically.

Lu Zhiwei thought for a moment and felt there was some merit to it.

Qin Yu Zhou may seem easy to handle, but his mind is heavier than anyone's.

On the surface he appears to be at anyone's beck and call, yet he is actually very lively.

At least he knows how to make people weigh pros and cons.

Just that alone makes Su Yang look at him in a new light.

However, that's all there is.

His choice to leave this time will indicate that he is ultimately just a stranger.

"Our paths differ; we shall not conspire!"

"Shall we go out?" Lu Zhiwei pointed a finger.

"So let's go, we can't delay any longer," Su Yang nodded slightly.

Thus, under Lu Zhiwei's guidance, they twisted and turned until they reached the Entrance.

Strangely, apart from Xiao Hei and the Zombie.

Su Yang did not see a third Monster.

This frequency is very off.

It must be that someone behind them secretly tampered.

"Go out." Lu Zhiwei said.

"Hmm."

The two pushed the door and walked out.

Boom—!

A bolt of lightning flashed, and blazing white light illuminated the sky thoroughly.

The torrential rain continued, remaining the sole main theme of heaven and earth.

Su Yang stood in place, looked up, his expression solemn.

"Not triggered yet…"

He sensed something; the carefully set Trap still existed.

This therefore means… Lin Jin and Ji Huai never returned to the Spaceship.

At least they didn't walk the Iron Frame Staircase.

But at a hundred‑meter height…

Under Tenfold Gravity's influence, even Four‑Stage Gene Modification would be smashed into mush, right?

"What are you standing still for? Hurry up before you get struck by lightning." Lu Zhiwei urged.

Su Yang snapped back to his senses, dismissed stray thoughts, and moved forward.

Clang—

Foot and Iron Frame contact produced a muffled sound.

The two walked down at an unhurried pace, their ears perked up, listening carefully for any possible sounds.

Proceed with caution as if on a millennial ship; better to be slow than to rush a fraction.

The two said nothing, moving side by side with great tacit understanding.

Halfway through, unsure whether it was an illusion or what, the rain seemed to lessen.

By the time calculation, it was roughly around noon.

The staircase was slippery; Su Yang nearly slipped several times, but he firmly grasped the railing and proceeded.

"It seems… still quite safe." Lu Zhiwei said.

"We haven't reached the end yet; don't say such congratulatory words." Su Yang replied.

The words barely fell when a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down!

Boom—!!

The blazing Radiance almost blinded Su Yang's eyes; he looked at the staircase filled with arcs, and under conduction his Foot instantly went numb.

"Just once, that's all." Lu Zhiwei said, both startled and consoling.

Su Yang looked up at the clouds, seeing the dark clouds gathering.

As if atop the dome, a giant beast that devours and spits lightning lay hidden, lurking.

Seeing this, a chill ran down his spine, "No, we're ambushed!"

"Run!"

While saying so, he grabbed Lu Zhiwei without hesitation and sprinted.

The next moment, another lightning bolt struck down.

This time the force was even more massive, a violent shock engulfing Firelight that almost devoured half of the Iron Frame Staircase.

Su Yang, at the forefront, was swept by a Qi Wave, staggering two steps, his whole body tingling.

He glanced back uncertainly, and suddenly saw Firelight shooting upward.

"What on earth…"

"Who is it?"
