To be honest, with an ability like Drow Group, it was actually very easy to form a five-person small team among the Death Fighters.
After all, no Death Fighter would give up such a free amplification, let alone that the possessor of this ability itself couldn’t obtain the boost, greatly reducing the threat.
It was just like an ADC in a team fight who would never mind having a support next to them helping out.
“Whose is the ‘Node’?”
Lu Bai asked a key question.
“Guarantee that all five of us make it into the top ten, and when only a few of us are left, then it’s each by their own means.”
Before the words had even finished, Xiao Xueyin added: “They all recognize this approach too.”
He knew clearly in his heart that while the team was formed, the trustworthiness between them was far from the point where they could entrust their backs to each other.
If they truly encountered a fatal danger, it would be good if the so-called teammates didn’t kick them when they were down.
Joining the team was nothing more than for more conveniently resolving other lone Death Fighters.
Lu Bai nodded in understanding: “Then I have no problem.”
By now he had already felt the boost provided by Drow Group, and on the premise of his body being strengthened by the Zombie Virus, the amplification effect he obtained was especially significant.
If the timing weren’t so inappropriate, he would even want to kick Xiao Xueyin again to verify it.
Fortunately, Xiao Xueyin didn’t know what Lu Bai was thinking at that moment; he clapped his hands, attracting everyone’s attention.
“I’ll skip the chit-chat. Subtracting us five, there are still 128… oh, 127 Death Fighters left in this Deathmatch Arena. According to the latest positioning information announced by the Deathmatch System, the vast majority of Death Fighters are gathered near that Building, and the ‘Node’ is also in that Building.”
He turned sideways and pointed at the distant Research Center: “I’ll first state my personal view. Given the current number of surviving Death Fighters, I don’t suggest we go seize the ‘Node’ right now; that would make us the target of all. At this stage, it’s best if we still go hunt the lone Death Fighters near the ‘Node’. I’ve said my piece; anyone with a different opinion can speak up.”
“Tch, what more is there to say.”
Liu Yue curled her lips and waved her small hand: “Let’s head out quick; I want to see rivers of blood.”
Worth mentioning was that when Xiao Xueyin mentioned the pretty big sister, Wu Ya and the other two had already come out from the Tent; it was just that standing behind Lu Bai and staying Quiet made them not so noticeable.
They weren’t like the other residents in the Settlement; because of Lu Bai, they still had a certain understanding of Death Fighters and such.
They could naturally realize from Xiao Xueyin’s words that everyone present was a Death Fighter just like Lu Bai.
Although they couldn’t understand what words like “Deathmatch Arena” and “Node” in Xiao Xueyin’s speech meant.
But they could hear that they
Confirming this, Wu Ya mustered her courage, gently tugged at Lu Bai’s clothes corner, and asked in a low voice: “Do you have to go?”
However, what she didn’t know was that the Death Fighters present had all obtained physical fitness amplification. Even though twenty percent wasn’t much, it wasn’t to the point where they couldn’t hear clearly even from such a close distance.
At first, for Lu Bai’s sake, Xiao Xueyin and the others did not pay attention to Wu Ya and the others.
But as soon as Wu Ya said this, Liu Yue’s gaze toward Lu Bai gradually became strange: “I’m a bit curious. How exactly do you get along with these Natives? Treating them like pets is one thing, but how do you even let the Natives point fingers and boss you around?”
A kind smile appeared on Lu Bai’s face as he said, “You’re not very polite.”
It was clearly a smile from the heart, yet for some reason it made Liu Yue feel a bit scalp numb.
“Alright, everyone has their own way of treating people, it’s not a big problem.”
Xiao Xueyin smoothed things over, then took out five small walkie-talkies from his pocket, keeping one for himself and distributing the rest to the others: “If an accident happens, we’ll contact each other through these.”
Lu Bai unobtrusively took the small walkie-talkie.
He always felt that these Death Fighters seemed to carry some communication tools, and A Gu, who was still locked in the laboratory, was the same.
“Then let’s set off.”
Only after the team members had roughly adapted to using the small walkie-talkies did Xiao Xueyin propose starting the action.
Explosion Head and Hoodie Man said nothing and turned to head toward the Research Center. That Little Sister called Liu Yue did much the same, only turning back before leaving to stick her tongue out at Lu Bai.
“Do you need me to leave some time for you?”
Xiao Xueyin glanced at Lu Bai, then at Wu Ya and the others standing behind him. Before Lu Bai could answer, he understandingly added, “I’ll wait for you up front.”
As soon as the Death Fighters left, Wu Ya couldn’t wait to speak up: “Can’t we just not go? He said there are more than a hundred people as strong as you. It’s too dangerous.”
“You’re too much…”
Lu Bai originally wanted to say that she was a bit too lacking in boundaries, but when the words reached his mouth, he felt that saying that about a young girl didn’t seem right, so he changed his words temporarily: “No need to worry, at most it’s just elimination, strictly speaking, we shouldn’t use the word ‘danger’.”
“But…”
Wu Ya wanted to say something more, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Lu Bai.
“If you keep saying that, we won’t even be friends anymore.”
Hearing the word “friends,” Wu Ya finally calmed down and hesitantly said, “Then don’t get eliminated.”
Ke Jiangni spoke up at the right moment: “Go ahead without worry, we’re pretty safe here.”
“You do indeed need to ensure your own safety from now on, after all, I can’t always act as your bodyguard.”
Lu Bai left behind a piece of sincere advice, then smiled and waved his hand, turning around to follow after Xiao Xueyin and the others.
That said, he was quite satisfied with this newly joined team.
Though it couldn’t be called trust, compared to A Gu, at least getting along with him didn’t make Lu Bai feel so repelled.
Whether it was genuine or fake, in the end they would have to fight anyway, so why not choose a more agreeable partner for cooperation?
“Handled it properly, right?”
Seeing Lu Bai catch up, Xiao Xueyin smiled and continued, “Actually, from a teammate’s angle, I shouldn’t say too much, but I still want to remind you that there will be no result between a Death Fighter and a Native.
If you really want to date someone, after this Deathmatch Duel ends, I can introduce a few to you, of course, if we’re not in the same Shelter, then there’s no way.”
Lu Bai stared somewhat surprised at Xiao Xueyin’s profile.
Being misunderstood like that, he actually didn’t care and was too lazy to explain.
What made him somewhat concerned was a word mentioned in Xiao Xueyin’s words.
Why Shelter?
Shelter from what disaster?
