After the enhancement was complete, Lu Luo simply stretched his arms and jumped a few times. His physical fitness had clearly increased, but the improvement in agility and speed shocked him even more.
"S-class Sequence 02 - Devourer. This self-enhancement effect is... indescribable."
In his previous life, Lu Luo had always maintained a habit of exercising, but after becoming an adult, his daily workouts only kept his physical condition from declining.
Socializing, staying up late, and drinking all caused obvious damage to his body. This rapid improvement in his physical condition fascinated him.
"How does it feel to successfully master Observer, Integrator, and Devourer? It's a shame I can't reward you with a beginner's gift package or something. What a pity."
Automatically ignoring this prompt, Lu Luo began to hesitate. He wasn't safe right now. Downstairs was that black water monster, so he could only continue upwards.
Just as Lu Luo was about to go upstairs, a hand suddenly reached out from the wall to his left and pulled him into the wall... The one who pulled Lu Luo was a classmate named Chu Qi. Behind her stood several others: Zhou Kai, Gu Fangyi, Wang Zheng, Liu Ting, and so on.
These students were all sponsored outstanding students who had traveled with Lu Luo. To have survived until now, they must all have something extraordinary about them, such as having awakened a sequence.
"Are you okay, Lu Luo? The staircase is a domain established by a Ghost-type. If you get trapped inside, only someone not on the staircase can pull you out. Gu Fangyi found you, which is how I found you."
"I'm fine, thanks."
Lu Luo seemed very calm. He looked at the others. These people had varying degrees of bloodstains, scars, and battle marks on them, indicating that they had encountered and fought against Xenomorph .
"Lu Luo, I can't believe you're still alive. Lucky you, not getting eaten by the Xenomorph."
Zhou Kai looked at Lu Luo, his head slightly tilted. Most people wouldn't like that expression, and Lu Luo was no exception.
"Zhou Kai, watch your words," Chu Qi interrupted.
"Tch, a useless burden. Bringing him along will only drag us down."
"This foolish child is quite aggressive, but he's the type who's strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His fingers are trembling, and his heart is racing. In short, he's scared to death.
Before you arrived, he was probably always in this state. Now that you've shown up, he needs to quickly belittle you to feel a sense of presence."
Lu Luo didn't laugh, but a hint of a smile had already appeared on his face. Coupled with his previously indifferent attitude, it made him seem very arrogant, which made Zhou Kai even more indignant.
"Still putting on airs? Do you think you're some kind of show-off? Where's Qin Wanyu? Wasn't she with you?"
Zhou Kai's hostility towards Lu Luo wasn't without reason. Many people, like Zhou Kai, would be attracted to a beautiful girl like Qin Wanyu.
"We got separated. Maybe she's dead."
Lu Luo's tone was a bit cold. Hearing his words, everyone fell silent for a moment.
"What about the others?" Lu Luo asked, even though he already had a guess in his mind.
"They're all dead. Xenomorph appeared in the exhibition hall, and not just one. Everyone except us is dead."
It wasn't just Qin Wanyu. Out of a group of over a dozen people, only six of them remained.
"Why are there Xenomorph inside the wall?" Wang Zheng voiced a question many shared.
"You ask me, who should I ask? And shouldn't we be discussing Lu Luo's problem right now? It's already dangerous, and we're saving a burden. Being good-looking is great, even at a time like this, you get special treatment."
Zhou Kai's sarcastic remarks were somewhat irritating. Gu Fangyi, the temporary leader of the group, directly interrupted him.
"Enough. Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, we should be thinking of a way to get out."
Gu Fangyi held an iron knife and a revolver he had acquired from somewhere, clearly the main combat force of the group.
He took out a hand-drawn sketch and began to analyze the current situation with the remaining people.
"We've found Lu Luo, so there are six of us now. The current situation is that the stairwell has been turned into a suspected Ghost-type domain, and the outer layer is sealed by some kind of power.
Unless we can kill the Ghost-type in the stairwell or break the seal on the outer wall, there's no other way out.
All the Xenomorph on this floor have been killed, so it's a relatively safe area. I suggest we wait for rescue here.
With such a big incident, the Wasteland Security Bureau won't just sit idly by."
"Agreed."
"Seconded."
"Okay."
The others all agreed. Chu Qi, seeing Lu Luo remain silent, asked:
"Lu Luo? What are you thinking? If you have any opinions or suggestions, now is the time to speak up. We're all classmates, it's fine."
Chu Qi's attitude towards him was also very gentle, but Lu Luo's focus wasn't on that at all. The one thing he paid most attention to in Gu Fangyi's entire speech was the situation with the Xenomorph.
All the Xenomorph killed? Great! Where are the bodies? I'll help you check if there are any stragglers. Of course, he couldn't say that openly.
"Hmm, I want to examine the bodies of the Xenomorph on this floor to see if there are any discoveries or clues."
Lu Luo's request seemed a bit strange to Chu Qi, but she still pointed out where the Xenomorph bodies were piled up for Lu Luo.
"We've already checked all the Xenomorph bodies; they're all piled over there. Go ahead and look if you want. I find it too disgusting, so I won't go with you."
Zhou Kai chimed in, "Listening to you, it sounds like you've seen other Xenomorph before. You can't even sense dark energy... a regular person."
Zhou Kai wanted to say "useless," but after glancing at Liu Ting, who also couldn't sense dark energy, he changed those two words to "regular person."
Chu Qi looked at Lu Luo. She had initially thought Lu Luo would be upset, but Lu Luo acted as if he hadn't heard anything and had already walked towards the bodies.
Lu Luo was indeed too lazy to argue with him. Everyone's thoughts were inherently different.
For example, him: diligently searching for bodies, wholeheartedly pursuing attributes. Such an unpretentious young man like him was a rarity.
"A weakling seeking attention, actually mocking the host of the noble S-class Observer sequence. Truly courting death. He still hasn't understood that subtle showing off is the most lethal."
...After Lu Luo left, Gu Fangyi suddenly spoke:
"Lu Luo has killed Xenomorph, and more than one."
"What?" Chu Qi was surprised.
"How is that possible?" Zhou Kai was disbelieving.
Gu Fangyi's expression remained calm as he stared at Zhou Kai until Zhou Kai lowered his head under his sharp gaze. Only then did he continue:
"I've awakened the B-class Eagle Eye sequence, and my observation skills are much stronger than yours. I wouldn't be mistaken about this. Lu Luo has indeed killed Xenomorph. He has obvious traces of fighting Xenomorph on him.
His hands and body have scars, and there's a distinct fishy smell on him. So don't underestimate anyone. You should have read this principle in many books."
Gu Fangyi's explanation made Zhou Kai somewhat embarrassed, but hearing him say that, Lu Luo's image in the minds of the others instantly grew taller.
Just as the Observer said, subtle showing off is the most lethal. Someone was no longer there, but their legend remained.
