Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 Language Arts

Black viscous liquid splattered, and the roars of the deformed creature were incessant. The machete in Lu Luo's hand displayed power far exceeding that of Gu Fangyi. At this moment, the deformed creature even gave off a feeling of being vulnerable.

"So strong."

Chu Qi's gaze at Lu Luo was filled with admiration. Gu Fangyi was already her biggest gain this time, and she hadn't expected a Lu Luo to appear. Now, it seemed Lu Luo was stronger than Gu Fangyi, and by a lot.

"Although you're playing the hero, saving the man, I always feel like you're trying to use this opportunity to snatch this young man's knife. Am I right?"

In overclocked state, the Observer's messages were still as irritating. However, what it said wasn't wrong; Lu Luo wanted to take the lead in the battle.

So he had to get Gu Fangyi's knife. Saving Zhou Kai was just a convenient side-task. Even if Zhou Kai hadn't been captured, he would have found other excuses to take the knife.

The intense headache and eye strain, coupled with his teammates watching him perform, made Lu Luo lose his temper and start swearing.

"What are you all waiting for? Go on, let's beat the hell out of it!"

"Oh, okay."

From the evenly matched fight just now to Lu Luo completely dominating the battle, the entire process took less than a minute.

Lu Luo was very pleased to see this change. As long as he demonstrated absolute strength and dictated the outcome of this battle, he would have complete discretion over the deformed creature's allocation.

He had gone through all this trouble for the corpse of the Tier 2 deformed creature.

Gu Fangyi grabbed two javelins and accurately impaled them into the gaps on the deformed creature's head. Lu Luo took advantage of the creature's pained retreat to approach again.

It was still dodging, striking, dodging, and striking again. Each blow landed on the largest gap in its waist. Its claws grazed his hair and body. Lu Luo began to enjoy the feeling of this extreme combat.

He continued to hack at it, one blow after another, until he literally cut the deformed creature's body into two halves.

"It should be dead, right?" Wang Zheng said, a little unsure.

The deformed creature looked dead, but Lu Luo still didn't stop, continuing to land blows.

"No."

No one knew better than Lu Luo that even with such severe injuries, the deformed creature was still not dead.

"It's playing dead. Keep hacking, don't stop. The abilities of deformed creatures are all disgusting. This guy's vitality is ridiculously strong."

Lu Luo continued to hack tirelessly, hacking until the deformed creature's corpse was a bloody mess and his knife was completely blunted. Only then did his movements stop.

Everyone thought Lu Luo might have suffered some brain damage from the fight, when they heard Lu Luo exhale.

"Phew, my arms are so sore. Damn, I'm exhausted."

The deformed creature was finally dead. This time, Lu Luo was certain.

"A glorious and incredible victory. Your use of your body and innate sequence is simply beyond imagination. The great S-class sequence Observer gives you a thumbs up."

"Now, the great Observer sequence needs a short rest, about 20 minutes. Host, take care of yourself. Don't die!"

After spouting its message, the Observer completely entered a dormant state, and Lu Luo's head and eyes hurt even more.

"The Observer is an innate sequence belonging to myself. Is this dormant state due to overuse?"

Lu Luo clutched his head, his expression a bit pained... "Is it finally dead?" Wang Zheng asked.

"Yes, this time it's really dead."

"Thanks, Lu Luo."

Zhou Kai's expression was a bit unnatural. Just now, he was mocking Lu Luo as a weakling, a burden, and then Lu Luo turned around and saved him. There was nothing more embarrassing than that.

"We're all classmates, brothers, successors of the Wasteland Alliance. Helping each other is what we should do. Just remember that we've shed blood together."

No one understood how to sweet-talk better than Lu Luo. In his previous life, he even dared to fool the daughter of a certain criminal organization's leader, let alone a naive person like Zhou Kai who hadn't experienced the harshness of society. Moreover, he truly did save Zhou Kai.

When Zhou Kai heard Lu Luo say this, a feeling of magnanimity immediately welled up in his heart. Lu Luo was a good person, and he spoke well.

"Hmm, you're right. We are all successors of the Alliance. It's good that you don't blame me."

"You must be seriously injured. Don't hold it in. Go let Chu Qi examine you. She's a girl, meticulous and skilled with her hands. She'll do a better job than us."

Lu Luo's tone was full of concern. These words were incredibly comforting to Zhou Kai.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Lu Luo. I apologize for what I said earlier."

Brother Kai felt he was a sensible person. A great man doesn't bother with trifles. What was bowing his head and admitting his mistake?

"Oh, those things? I've long forgotten them."

Lu Luo's demeanor at this moment was exceptionally magnanimous.

Just like that, Lu Luo managed to sweet-talk Zhou Kai into going to Chu Qi's side, where he squeezed in with the heavily injured Gu Fangyi for Chu Qi to examine him.

This outcome was exactly what Lu Luo wanted to see. Chu Qi had a problem; she would observe him from time to time. Lu Luo needed to deal with the deformed creature's corpse, and it would be best to be out of Chu Qi's sight.

"Chu Qi, come, come, help me check my injuries. We've shed blood together, and we're both successors of the Alliance. You wouldn't refuse me, would you?"

Brother Kai was quick to learn and apply. He immediately used the words Lu Luo had just spoken.

Chu Qi looked at Zhou Kai, who was lying in front of her, asking for an examination, and showed a helpless expression. At this moment, she certainly couldn't refuse Zhou Kai, otherwise Gu Fangyi would also notice something was amiss.

"Okay, lie down first."

Chu Qi could only begin to tend to Zhou Kai's injuries. The others also leaned against the wall and started to rest.

The few of them looked at Lu Luo, feeling a sense of relief. If Lu Luo hadn't turned the tide here, Liu Ting's act of luring the monster could have almost led to a total wipeout.

"Before the people from the Wasteland Security Bureau arrive, we still need to remain as vigilant as possible. You all rest first, I'll go deal with the corpse."

No one dared to disobey Lu Luo's words at this moment. The others all began to rest.

Lu Luo then dragged the deformed creature's shattered corpse towards where the alien corpses were stored earlier. This was his private time. Although he really wanted to "hehehe," he held back...

Zhou Kai, lying on the ground, looked at Lu Luo's diligent back and felt he should say something. After much thought, he could only come up with a concluding remark.

"Lu Luo, he's a pretty good guy."

Chu Qi and Gu Fangyi looked at Zhou Kai, quite surprised that Zhou Kai would say such a thing. ..

After killing the deformed creature, there seemed to be no more danger for now. Everyone's mood lightened considerably, and they started chatting idly.

"Who doesn't know that? Do you even need to say it?" Wang Zheng expressed disdain for Zhou Kai's sudden change of heart.

Zhou Kai rubbed his nose and subconsciously changed the subject. He looked at Gu Fangyi.

"Sigh, everyone knows about my messed-up affairs. Let's talk about Gu Fangyi. I heard you have a girlfriend, but we've never met her. How's it going?"

Gu Fangyi was silent for a moment. To be honest, having survived the ordeal, he was now much more open-minded. Many things that used to feel unspeakable now seemed less important.

Gu Fangyi looked at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle, sighed, and slowly said:

"I had a girlfriend for half a year. A few nights ago, I found a scar on her lower abdomen."

"Ah? What! And then?" Everyone was curious.

"I asked her what happened, and she said she only ate one bowl of noodles and paid for one bowl of noodles." Gu Fangyi's expression was calm.

Wang Zheng: ?

Zhou Kai: ??

Chu Qi: ???

This reason was absolutely ridiculous, wasn't it? They really hadn't expected the strong and indifferent Gu Fangyi to have such an untold story.

Although his tone was calm, the others could still hear a hint of bitterness and sadness in his voice. Zhou Kai said inappropriately:

"It's okay. There are many women and few men in the wasteland. There are plenty of good women. We've shed blood together. Later, good brother, I'll take you to New Hope for a foot massage. I know a lot of girls there."

"Get lost, scram!" The usually calm Gu Fangyi finally broke down, because his ex-girlfriend used to work at New Hope.
