Lu Yu's candid comments provoked a strong reaction from Chu Feng, who erupted in a loud outburst. In Chu Feng's perception, Yan Yun embodies perfection, kindness, gentleness, and purity. He had harbored feelings for her in his past life.
However, the thought of a girl as pure as Yan Yun being attracted to someone like Lu Yu was unbearable for him.
When Chu Feng voiced his thoughts, it left everyone in a state of shock. Even Wu Qiang and Tao Yong, along with their two roommates, were left bewildered.
In a matter of moments, they began to ridicule Chu Feng, questioning his sanity and mocking his claim that Yan Yun could possibly be interested in him. They viewed Chu Feng as a fool, a typical protagonist to be ridiculed.
Before the apocalypse, wealth was a potent weapon to win over women. All the students regarded Yan Yun as a paragon of purity and beauty.
Being with Lu Yu, who was not only very handsome but also wealthy, was not an unacceptable prospect for them. They believed that even if Yan Yun's image was slightly tarnished by being with Lu Yu, it was still better than being with a poor man like Chu Feng.
In fact, not just Wu Qiang and Tao Yong, even Yan Yun herself was perplexed.
When Lu Yu asked Yan Yun if she liked Chu Feng, she quickly distanced herself from Chu Feng and even looked at him with a hint of disgust.
In the past, Chu Feng was an unknown commoner, while Yan Yun was a goddess-like figure adored by all.
How could she have noticed an obscure boy like Chu Feng?
Lu Yu decided to ignore Chu Feng for the time being and turned his attention to Wu Qiang. He asked Wu Qiang if he had awakened any abilities.
Wu Qiang responded with a smile, not denying Lu Yu's assumption. Lu Yu then instructed Ding Feng to check out a nearby cave, reminding him to be cautious and safe.
After a while, Ding Feng returned and reported that there was a strange light inside the cave and a large, agitated monkey. Lu Yu then turned to Tao Yong and proposed a deal.
He suggested that Tao Yong help him retrieve the treasure inside the cave, and in return, he would provide protection for Tao Yong.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's proposal, Tao Yong was taken aback. He laughed at Lu Yu's proposition, questioning why he should risk his life to help Lu Yu retrieve the treasure. He pointed out that it would be more reasonable for Lu Yu to attract the monsters and help them get the treasure.
However, Lu Yu remained calm and told Tao Yong that he had no other choice. He explained that he could let Ding Feng lead the monster away while he went in to get the treasure himself.
But as a cautious person, he wanted to minimize the risk before he went to get the treasure.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Yan Yun and Ding Feng were stunned, as were Tao Yong and Wu Qiang. Lu Yu then turned to Wu Qiang and told him that although they were friends before, he wasn't sure if Wu Qiang still wanted to be his friend.
He told Wu Qiang that if he helped him get the treasure, they would still be friends in the future. Otherwise, he would have to apologize to Wu Qiang for his own safety. He assured Wu Qiang that he would only render him incapable of fighting and wouldn't kill him.
Lu Yu's demeanor was remarkably composed, which instilled a sense of dread in the two individuals. They could discern from Lu Yu's tone that he was not jesting.
Typically, those who could venture here during this time frame possessed a certain level of capability. Given their current dire condition, they were left with two alternatives. They could either confront Lu Yu or assist him in luring the monsters.
The prospect of a desperate fight was self-evident. Observing Lu Yu's assured demeanor, they dared not gamble on whether Lu Yu had the capacity to overpower them. In such perilous external conditions, with the medical equipment entirely dysfunctional, losing combat readiness was tantamount to losing one's life. Consequently, Tao Yong endeavored to divert the target.
"Why don't you let Chu Feng assist you in attracting the monsters?"
Tao Yong inquired, somewhat reluctantly, gritting his teeth. It was inherently uncomfortable for anyone to surrender their spoils to others.
"He's the only one!"
Lu Yu glanced at Chu Feng from the corner of his eye and responded nonchalantly, "If two people cannot threatens me, how can one pose a greater threat than two?
Go and assist me in luring the monsters, Ding Feng will keep an eye on him. Hurry up and decide, you have fifteen seconds left…"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's unreasonable demand, Tao Yong clenched his teeth.
Meanwhile, Wu Qiang glanced back and forth between Lu Yu and Tao Yong, unable to make a decision. To be honest, he differed from Shi Lei. Shi Lei was content to continue being Lu Yu's subordinate because he was uncertain about his awakening ability.
Only after witnessing Lu Yu's strength was he willing to remain Lu Yu's subordinate. However, Wu Qiang had awakened a formidable power. With such an impressive power, why should he continue to be someone else's subordinate?
He wasn't insane!
But now… If he didn't want to be Lu Yu's subordinate, was he going to confront Lu Yu alongside Tao Yong?
The thought was fleeting, and the sound of Lu Yu's countdown echoed in their ears. "Ten…nine…eight…seven…"
"Alright, boss, I'll go, I'll go!"
In his haste, Wu Qiang spoke rapidly and explicitly stated his stance.
"Wise decision!
Tao Yong, what about you?"
Upon hearing this, Tao Yong cursed a moment later, "Damn, I give in this time." Hearing the two individuals' responses, a smile crept onto the corner of Lu Yu's mouth.
There are treasures hidden within the cave, guarded by a massive monster. To obtain the treasure, one needs to lure the monster away. Lu Yu was acutely aware that Chu Feng was the reborn protagonist.
Lu Yu intended to eliminate this reborn protagonist. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't ask Chu Feng to assist him in luring the monster.
The reason Wu Qiang and Tao Yong agreed to Lu Yu's request was due to the overwhelming pressure Lu Yu exerted. The kind of self-assuredness that stunned them rendered them incapable of acting rashly. They didn't even have the courage to flee.
Why didn't they dare to flee?
Let's not discuss whether they could escape given their current physical strength… Even if they could escape,
what about the two severely injured individuals?
Were they going to abandon them and run away?
Abandoning them would not only tarnish their reputation for treachery, but they would also lose two teammates and the treasure.
What's the point of running away like that?
Although the monster is formidable, there's no need to confront it directly, it just needs to be lured away. So, between a desperate fight and helping, they could only choose the latter.
As for whether they considered joining forces with Chu Feng to eliminate Lu Yu first?
Of course, they thought about it!
However, this thought was instantly dismissed by the two of them. Needless to say, Wu Qiang often bullied Chu Feng before the end of the world.
Would he join forces with Chu Feng to deal with Lu Yu?
Would Chu Feng kill him?
It would be a blessing if he didn't kill him. So, the probability is virtually zero.
The same applies to Tao Yong, who has always looked down on Chu Feng. Just now, the two were still distrustful of each other and almost engaged in a fight to the death.
How could it be possible to cooperate with Chu Feng?
But then again. If they really chose to join forces with Chu Feng to deal with Lu Yu, Lu Yu would probably encounter some trouble.
Of course, it's just a bit of trouble. Given their current state, they are truly not Lu Yu's opponents. Perhaps Lu Yu couldn't kill Chu Feng, who was plagued by fortune, but Lu Yu was certain to kill them first.
"Have i been underestimated?"
Upon hearing the conversation between Lu Yu and Tao Yong, Chu Feng regained his senses. Although Yan Yun's incident had hit him hard, he had experienced the end of the world after all.
It's impossible to be completely down because of this!
So no matter what happens to Yan Yun and Lu Yu now! He was also going to kill Lu Yu.
As long as Lu Yu is killed, everything will be revealed. He hadn't had a chance to kill him before. But now… In the last days, people who are arrogant often meet a bad end.
Since he was underestimated by Lu Yu, then the opportunity has come.
As for why he didn't use threats before and let Tao Yong and Wu Qiang help him get the treasure?
It's because the three of them are very close in ability, and the two on the opposite side are very dissatisfied with him.
It will be definitely a two-on-one fight. He is sure to win the other two!
But he was not sure to destroy one, and let the other retain the stamina to attract monsters, and even let himself save enough stamina.
That's why he and Tao Yong and others have spent Time so far in arguing .
It's just that he didn't expect that there would be other people coming to this secret realm?
And is this person, the Lu Yu he always wanted to get rid of?
"Now that you've decided, get ready!"
Lu Yu glanced at Chu Feng from the corner of his eyes, and said slowly. In fact, according to the normal plot line. This secret realm is really tailor-made for the reborn Chu Feng. The reason why it has become the current situation.
All the variables come from Lu Yu. If Lu Yu didn't prepare supplies in advance at the hotel, the survivors in the hotel would have no weapons.
Without the monsters they helped clean up in the hotel, Lu Yu couldn't have come to this secret realm in such a short time. If Lu Yu was not in the hotel, then Wu Qiang would not appear in Tao Yong's bedroom when the apocalypse came.
In other words, only Tao Yong and his companions, as well as Chu Feng himself, would appear in this secret realm. Everyone else should be absent.
Chu Feng only needs to use iron and blood to destroy Tao Yong's companions and threaten Tao Yong alone. But now, because of the variable Lu Yu, there are many more people here.
Wu Qiang, Ding Feng, Yan Yun and Lu Yu himself.
The existence of Wu Qiang makes it impossible for Chu Feng to form an absolute crush of combat power!
Therefore, the time to seize the treasure was forcibly dragged to the present.
"I'll take them to a safe place first!"
Tao Yong looked at the two seriously injured roommates and said to Lu Yu. It can be dangerous to attract monsters, and they may have problems staying here during combat.
Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded and did not refuse. He was not afraid that Tao Yong would take the opportunity to escape.
Anyway, only one person is enough to pull the monster. He's gone, isn't there another Wu Qiang? Just as Tao Yong was about to take the two away, Yan Yun's voice rang again.
"They have too many wounds, let me deal with them first!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, including Lu Yu!
Because Yan Yun didn't have anything like a first aid kit on her body.
What will she do to treat other people's wounds?
Only Chu Feng was alone. The heart felt as uncomfortable as being stabbed again. Yes! Yan Yun's ability is neither perception nor purification. but to heal.
In his previous life, he liked Yan Yun because of this ability. Even to this day, he still remembers how the other party looked when he was healing and bandaging his wounds. But now…
