Infiltrating the Monster Horde

"Chen Yu...I...I was wrong. I was foolish to break up with you back then. I know I have no right to say these things..."

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Li Mengyao realized that they were really going to make her go upstairs alone!

She panicked!

She crawled to Chen Yu's feet and hugged his leg: "Chen...Chen Yu, no matter what, we were in love, I don't believe...you have no feelings for me anymore!"

But Chen Yu's eyes seemed devoid of any feelings, let alone any feelings for her, or even for anyone at all.

He slowly pried open Li Mengyao's hands, which were tightly gripping her trouser leg.

"A brief romance?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "You mean three months, a cell phone, a computer, and a gold bracelet?"

Li Mengyao looked pale and couldn't utter a single word.

She did do these things, but she regrets them now, she regrets them terribly.

She could only weep, pleading, "Chen Yu, I was wrong, please, don't let me in..."

Chen Yu said calmly, "This is a survival strategy. If you don't even dare to use your own talents, why is the team keeping you around? Just to get a bigger share of the food?"

Zhang Wanyue wanted to say something, but Chen Yu stopped her by raising his hand.

I'm giving you two choices.

"First, I'll chop you up to help you find relief sooner."

"Second, demonstrate your value by producing a prototype."

Upon hearing this, Li Mengyao stood frozen in place.

Two choices?

What kind of choice is this?

The next second, a cold glint flashed.

The familiar fire axe appeared out of thin air in Chen Yu's hand.

In the dim light, the axe blade appeared dark and black.

Li Mengyao witnessed firsthand how much blood had been stained on that axe in just two short days.

She looked around anxiously for help.

Wang Mengmeng had already shrunk to the corner, and Deng Yuxin also lowered her head.

Zhang Wanyue turned her face slightly away.

No one dared to plead for them.

Li Mengyao finally understood that tears and pleas were worthless here.

"I..."

"Oh my god..."

Hearing Li Mengyao's words.

Chen Yu pulled her up from the ground and said seriously, "Now you can tell me about the effectiveness of your disguise talent, and we'll develop a plan accordingly."

Li Mengyao, still trembling slightly as she recovered from her fear, said in a slightly hoarse voice: "[Simple Disguise]...is not visual disguise, but rather making one's aura harmonize with the surrounding environment..."

Zhang Wanyue leaned closer: "Synchronization? It's mentioned in the talent effect?"

Li Mengyao nodded: "I've never tried it before. I don't know if it's possible. If I can't transform into those insects or monsters, wouldn't I be discovered immediately?"

Chen Yu shook his head: "No, deformation is actually easier to detect."

Li Mengyao: "?"

Chen Yu slowly said, "Those insects are extremely sensitive to light. Once the light source disappears, they immediately roll back into the crevices. And don't forget..."

Zhang Wanyue suddenly picked up the conversation:

"The hall by the side entrance was dimly lit; even with the distortion, no one would have noticed! Therefore, they must have been distinguished by their auras!"

Chen Yu nodded: "That's right."

Deng Yuxin asked softly, "But if she went in through the door, wouldn't she have seen everything?"

Chen Yu continued, "That's right, but if we create chaos, and Li Mengyao takes the opportunity to blend in, if everyone's aura is exactly the same, no monster will notice her."

Li Mengyao was stunned. Had she somehow managed to infiltrate the monster horde?

That doesn't sound very appealing...

"Can I do it?"

Li Mengyao hesitated again.

Zhang Wanyue walked over and took her hand: "Mengyao, you must believe in the power of your talent. Just like I never imagined that one day I could conjure bottled water from my hands..."

Deng Yuxin also deeply understands this: "On the road to survival, our talents are the foundation of survival."

Wang Mengmeng took a deep breath: "Mengyao, you...you be careful."

Chen Yu gave her no time to hesitate and quickly gave instructions: "Class monitor, here's an octagonal hammer. Go to the main gate next door and smash it to see if the noise can distract some people."

"We used the side entrance, flashlights, and geothermal ferns to attract attention."

As he spoke, Chen Yu handed the heavy octagonal hammer to Zhang Wanyue.

As soon as Zhang Wanyue took it, her face turned pale: "This is too heavy..."

"Only in this way will the sound be louder."

Chen Yu smiled slightly and led the women to make preparations.

With departure imminent, Li Mengyao desperately concentrated, trying to feel and recall the terror the monsters had instilled in her, and then unleashed her talent...

Not long after.

She looked at Chen Yu: "I...I've gotten better. How do you feel? Can you tell the difference?"

Chen Yu squinted; in fact, from the outside, there was no change at all.

But overall, her aura was more somber and cold.

There was even a hint of inexplicable greed in it?

"Hmm, things have changed. Let's go."

Chen Yu gave her a deep look, walked to the iron gate, and suddenly pulled it open!

at the same time!

"Thump—!!!"

A tremendous explosion suddenly came from the direction of the main entrance!

Inside the hall, the countless monsters instantly sprang into action!

And at that very instant!

Chen Yu stood at the side door, took out six clusters of geothermal ferns from the public backpack, and held them high!

A warm, orange-red light suddenly burst forth!

That wasn't all. Deng Yuxin and Wang Mengmeng also turned on their powerful flashlights, and several blinding beams of light shot into the hall, deliberately waving them to sweep over the swarm of insects!

"Boom!!!"

"Kukuku!!!"

"BOOM—!!"

Heat! Bright light! Vibration!

The triple stimulus instantly threw the hall into complete chaos!

It's now!

Li Mengyao, who was already prepared, tried her best to cover her entire body with that uncomfortable aura!

Then he suddenly rushed out!

Her heart was pounding like a drum, and her legs were trembling, but her survival instinct made her grit her teeth and not cry out!

Upon seeing Li Mengyao successfully blend in, Chen Yu made a hand gesture without hesitation!

"withdraw!"

He quickly stuffed the geothermal fern into his backpack, and threw the flashlight into the monster horde!

"BOOM!!!"

Chen Yu slammed the iron gate shut and led the women away around the corner!

The first step of the plan is complete!

Now, all the pressure is on Li Mengyao alone!

"call..."

"That's terrifying!"

Wang Mengmeng patted her chest, and thinking of the chaotic scene just now, she almost dropped the flashlight!

Deng Yuxin stood close to Chen Yu and whispered, "Class monitor, are you alright? There was such a commotion just now..."

Zhang Wanyue shook her head, clearly a little tired: "It's nothing, my hands are just a bit numb from shaking."

Time ticked by, second by second...

Ten minutes, fifteen minutes passed, and there was still no word.

The tower was eerily quiet, as if Li Mengyao had never sneaked in.

Wang Mengmeng couldn't help but mutter softly, "Is Mengyao alright? She..."

"Quiet."

Chen Yu interrupted him directly because he was leaning against the wall, focusing all his senses on hearing.

But inside the tower, it remained quiet.

"Rustle and rustle..."

Footsteps approached, accompanied by a conversation between a man and a woman.

"Damn it, this godforsaken place is freezing me to death! When have I ever suffered like this before!"

"Minister Jia, keep your voice down! That was the sound coming from over there!"

"Shut up, as long as we hide the geothermal ferns, we won't attract the white-haired monster!"

Two men and two women appeared in Chen Yu's and the others' field of vision.

The leader of their group was a man, 1.8 meters tall, with a bulky build and a fierce appearance.

His gaze swept over Chen Yu and his group of four, and he narrowed his eyes: "Who do we have here? It's Wang, the head of our Literature and Art Department? What, you weren't assigned with your girlfriends?"
