Soon, they made a discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were still some distance away, one Reincarnation Ghost suddenly exclaimed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! There’s actually a space in the Twilight Sands emitting a chilling cold?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That exclamation naturally drew the attention of the other ghosts, who quickly activated their abilities and hurried toward that space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some speculated, “Could this be an unexplored secret realm entrance? Or maybe the work of some powerful figure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others quickly refuted, “A powerful figure? Creating such a large special space in this desert? That seems impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The key is, that space isn’t just cold! Even from this far away, I can sense the chill mixed with yin energy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that area might be an extremely yin place, whether formed naturally or artificially!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Reincarnation Ghost who spoke the words “extremely yin place” was especially excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, for ghost creatures, an extremely yin place is almost the same as an extremely dark environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just staying in such a space would significantly boost their vigor, spirit, and overall condition beyond normal levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, such places are more likely to contain materials or items greatly beneficial to ghost creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, excitement aside, these Reincarnation Ghosts were not fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew very well that there is no such thing as a free lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind great temptations often lurked great dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, upon quickly reaching the boundary of this special space, none of these Reincarnation Ghosts acted rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they all cast requesting glances toward Wu Wang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them asked proactively, “Boss? About this extremely yin place… should we explore it or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wang’s eyes darkened as he stared at the extremely yin space shrouded in darkness. He did not answer immediately but appeared to be deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Jiang Ye were to enter the heart demon’s lair within Wu Wang at this moment, he would discover that the so-called “extremely yin place” attracting these Reincarnation Ghosts was actually…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “Black Ice Domain” that Lin Ling had opened during the Defender gathering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, back then, the Black Ice Domain was in an “open” state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When many Defender players arrived, they could directly see the interior of the Black Ice Domain from outside the domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could enter it without any hindrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the Black Ice Domain seemed to be isolated by a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From outside the domain, one could only see utter darkness, with no way to scout what was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, at the southern boundary of this Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another group happened to discover this special space as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coincidentally, this other group consisted of Jiang Ye’s old classmates who had been sent to the 0000 Apartment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eighteen people taken by Gao Chang had all gathered at the southern boundary of the Black Ice Domain without exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these eighteen, three more people had joined the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three were also familiar faces—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fang, Lu Shen, and He Yuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen and Gao Chang’s group were classmates. Since they were not in urgent need of survival points at the time, they naturally refrained from recklessly killing classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for He Yuliang…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was among the players who had blocked the Light faction near the Void Mirror Palace’s outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they had jointly besieged the Light faction players and had their survival points robbed by Jiang Ye, He Yuliang had some contact with Lu Fang and Lu Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New players exploring the 0000 Apartment faced many difficulties, so he traveled with Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, when the three—He Yuliang and the two Lu brothers—acted together, He Yuliang’s presence somewhat overshadowed Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But later, when Lu Shen’s eighteen classmates joined the team, the situation changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although those eighteen were weak, as the saying goes, strength lies in numbers, and together they formed a considerable force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only knew Lu Shen as a classmate, but did not know He Yuliang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this eighteen-person force naturally aligned with Lu Fang’s faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused the influence and voice between He Yuliang and Lu Fang to start tilting toward Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the group of twenty-one discovered the unusual extremely yin space. Like Wu Wang’s team, they hesitated about whether to enter and explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yuliang’s main ability was the “Void Stomach” skill, which swallowed things to increase attributes, making him quite powerful in combat, but his support abilities were inferior to Lu Fang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he also cast a requesting glance toward Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fang struck a strong pose and took out a talisman paper with his bare hand, then shot it toward the direction of the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as the talisman approached the boundary of the Black Ice Domain, it immediately burned to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An embarrassed expression flashed across his face, but he quickly forced himself to remain calm, took out another talisman, and launched it even more determinedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the result was the same…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned to ashes before entering the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fang felt even more awkward but pretended to be solemn as he said, “This special space is probably quite dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then seemed to make a forced effort to save face, stepping forward slightly, getting a bit closer to the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he flipped his hand and pulled out a snake-shaped talisman brush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gripping the brush, the snake’s head end traced strokes in the air as if writing something in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were quite smooth. At the last stroke, the brush tip pushed forward fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soil-yellow pattern shot out from the snake’s mouth, flying straight toward the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the soil-yellow pattern finally hit the domain’s barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it only left a ripple on the barrier before quickly disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the ripple flash briefly on the barrier, Lu Fang suddenly exclaimed, “Huh?” and widened his eyes in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yuliang, unsure whether Lu Fang had truly found something or was just pretending, casually asked, “Did you discover something this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fang’s eyes quickly changed from shock to joy, and his gaze toward the Black Ice Domain burned hot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, he blurted out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel this damned place might contain a talisman path opportunity meant for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There was just a talisman pattern flickering on that barrier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the expressions of the others present immediately became complicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were traveling together, they were not a united family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Black Ice Domain really contained talisman path opportunities, then without a doubt, the chance would most likely belong to Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others might gain nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they went in to explore, wouldn’t they just be doing the work to benefit Lu Fang?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Gao Chang’s classmates and the “outsider” He Yuliang no longer wished to explore the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Fang sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly realized he had celebrated too early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he hurriedly reined in his excitement and forced himself to backtrack:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, it may not necessarily be a talisman path opportunity…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place could have been arranged by some big shot with the [Rune Mastery] innate talent, like me, who set up a talisman barrier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And the things inside the space might not even be related to talisman patterns…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was somewhat too late to say this now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yuliang frowned and said, “But you also said when your two talisman patterns were destroyed just now—that this special space is probably very dangerous!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, right now in the entire 0000 Apartment, not only are many powerful new players constantly entering, but even stronger old players are arriving!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re taking huge risks exploring here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this special space was indeed set by some veteran player skilled in talisman patterns, then if we intrude, we probably won’t end well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my opinion, forget it. We’d better try another direction to find the red-lit elevator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What He Yuliang said struck a chord with Gao Chang and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gao Chang and the rest were only in this team because of their relationship with Lu Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They lacked strength and dared not openly oppose Lu Fang like He Yuliang did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they pinned their hopes on Lu Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even Lu Shen advised against exploring, then Lu Fang probably couldn’t insist on it alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure thus shifted onto Lu Shen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one side were classmates unwilling to explore, on the other was a cousin eager to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen naturally did not want to explore either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to be honest, his cousin had been very generous to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Jiang Ye robbed survival points earlier, Lu Fang gave him six points in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Lu Shen’s survival points were paid for by Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their familial relationship was such that Lu Fang could bring Lu Shen along and pay his survival points, which was already very considerate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he now stood against Lu Fang, then next time if he had trouble, Lu Fang might not cover for him as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this way, Lu Shen’s heart naturally leaned toward Lu Fang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one among Gao Chang’s classmates could likely grow to Lu Fang’s level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to hesitate about what to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Shen was about to state his position and support his cousin, suddenly one voice rose among the classmates:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not mistaken, the person who opened this special space is very likely the big shot who took Lingling away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speaker was Yang Xiaoman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, all eyes fell on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Yuliang and Lu Fang did not know Wang Lingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen did, but he did not know which big shot took Wang Lingling away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He furrowed his brows and asked Yang Xiaoman, “What do you mean? Did you find something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaoman raised her left hand and hooked her pinky finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a hair appeared on her pinky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That hair trembled slightly, pointing toward the Black Ice Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaoman explained, “This is a special connection between Wang Lingling and me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In other words, Lingling, who was taken away by the big shot, is currently inside this space!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen then asked who exactly took Wang Lingling and for what reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaoman and the other classmates took turns informing the three unaware ones—He Yuliang, Lu Fang, and Lu Shen—that Wang Lingling had offended a female madwoman, was forcibly infected with Lightburn by her, then restrained by ribbons to control the Lightburn, and finally forcibly taken away by that madwoman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, even Lu Fang hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the owner of this special space was truly powerful enough to imprison even Light faction players as playthings…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn’t these small-time Calamities be courting death by offending such a big shot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen’s sharp mind immediately pointed out a very unreasonable point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to you, that madwoman even managed to capture Huang Bo alive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if she really captured Huang Bo alive, why didn’t she kill him directly to claim the bounty on the bounty hunt order?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t tell me she doesn’t care about such a rich reward?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This doubt triggered a chorus from the eighteen classmates, all insisting they were not lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none could explain why that big shot hadn’t killed Huang Bo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the classmates were noisily debating and the scene grew chaotic,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaoman suddenly spoke to Lu Shen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I’m not saying this to stop you from exploring this special space.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“On the contrary, I think we should go in and take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words quieted the noisy classmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Shen’s expression showed some surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could ask, Yang Xiaoman turned to Gao Chang and the others:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chang, do you remember how we felt leaving the 4444 Apartment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We eighteen were very weak, probably the lowest bottom in the entire 0000 Apartment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How likely do you think we are to survive exploring other secret realms or other floors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…” Gao Chang did not answer but looked serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaoman continued, “This special space is definitely dangerous, but we have some information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to stumbling blindly into more dangerous, more unknown places…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think exploring here might actually give us a sliver of hope and unexpected gains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, that big shot seems formidable, but she didn’t kill Wang Lingling or Huang Bo…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So maybe she won’t kill us either?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words truly moved Gao Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, when leaving the 4444 Apartment, Gao Chang had almost a do-or-die mentality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought in his heart—either die in the 0000 Apartment or make a name for himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they kept shrinking back, afraid to venture here or there…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might survive longer but would never make a name!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without strength, death was inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even while alive, there would be no dignity, only struggling to survive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Chang took a deep breath but did not answer, instead looking at Lu Shen and saying, “We’re classmates, and we joined this team because of your help. So we’ll listen to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging glances with Lu Fang, Lu Shen thought for a moment and said solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since we’re classmates, even if it’s just to rescue Wang Lingling, we should go in and try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether others believed it or not was uncertain, but He Yuliang was completely skeptical!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already planned that if these people insisted on exploring, he would just go solo and leave the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Xiaoman’s attitude when talking to Gao Chang strangely moved him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This group of weaker Calamities dared to fight and take risks…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he really go solo now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was, he could tell the eighteen people were not lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That madwoman really hadn’t killed Huang Bo to claim the bounty…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor had she killed Wang Lingling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that, like administrators, she was restricted from killing at will?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that was true, maybe this special space was worth exploring…\u003C\u002Fp>",2336,"2026-06-03T07:17:36.055Z","2026-06-03T07:17:41.424Z",1,"novelbin.me","b4aee2dea70cae73708e97f8e19f4729ca2ae11ffa8fb5147d92041294ae34a2","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-306","surviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-chapter-304",575,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsurviving-the-doomsday-apartment-with-infinite-c-cover.jpg"]
