The Absolute Favorite in the Apocalyptic Rebirth

“Qin Peng, what the hell are you doing?!”

Yan Ge shouted furiously, supporting the wounded Lou Zhan. He stared at Qin Peng in disbelief, never expecting that this bastard would dare to shoot Lou Zhan at such a critical moment. He had truly underestimated the depths of this man's vileness.

Qin Peng, with his handsome face still bearing a playful smirk, said nonchalantly, "I'm so sorry, it was an accident. It's too dark, I must have accidentally shot Lou Zhan."

Enraged, Yan Ge pulled out his gun, aimed it at Qin Peng, and fired. However, Qin Peng was agile and dodged the bullet, using the surrounding clutter as cover. At that moment, Qin Zhen also took action, pointing her gun at Lou Zhan to stop him.

"Stop it! Mr. Yan, now is not the time for infighting!" Qin Zhen's gun was aimed at Lou Zhan's head, a clear warning that if he dared to harm Qin Peng, she would not hesitate to shoot.

Yan Ge chuckled coldly. "How is this infighting? It was just an accident, I didn't do it on purpose." With that, he put away his gun, but his eyes were filled with coldness when he looked at Qin Peng.

Qin Zhen's temples throbbed, and she also withdrew her gun.

Lou Zhan's face was a little pale, but as an ability user, he had good physical fitness. Without anesthetic, he dug out the bullet with a knife, tore off a piece of clothing, and bandaged the wound to stop the bleeding. His expression was extremely indifferent, and he didn't yell in anger because of the injury. However, the look he gave Qin Peng was equally unkind.

At this time, everyone heard the hissing sound from outside the door again. The steel door was being corroded by the venom of the mutated spider, and it wouldn't be long before it became useless.

Among the people who had escaped before, only a few of them had managed to escape to this place safely. The others had all been killed by the mutated spider, their brains and internal organs devoured. Seeing this scene, their hearts were filled with coldness. They had fled to this point, with nowhere to escape, and could only seek refuge here. Just as they were about to escape here earlier, Lou Zhan was suddenly hit by a stray bullet. Although Qin Peng said it was an accident, only a fool would believe his words. Someone who had been holding a gun all his life could hit the target with his eyes closed. This excuse really made people want to beat him up.

The group held their breath, staring at the door, their brows furrowed. They even thought that maybe this was where they would die today. This room was obviously a utility room, with no other exit except for a small vent. And behind that only door, a man-eating mutated spider was guarding.

They didn't know if they could leave this place safely, and now Qin Peng was doing this, even wanting to cut off their escape route. How could Yan Ge not be angry? He almost hated Qin Peng so much that he wanted to kill him directly.

As the door trembled more and more violently, the four of them couldn't help but step back, watching the instruments they had piled up against the door tremble along with it, as if they might be knocked open by the door at any moment.

Soon, a bowl-sized hole was corroded in the door. As the hole grew larger and larger, spider silk spread in, and the instruments behind the door trembled more and more violently. Finally, the door was completely corroded, collapsing like a pile of scrap metal at the entrance. The instruments were also pushed away, and the spider's gigantic figure appeared.

The four of them had already started shooting at the spider when the door was being corroded. Unfortunately, due to the interference of the ubiquitous spider silk mucus, the number of bullets that could hit the spider's body was limited. The four could only retreat until the mutated spider completely pushed away the things blocking the door. Spider silk shot out from its mouthparts, attacking the four people in the room.

There weren't many obstacles in the room. The Qin siblings attacked while trying to disrupt the spider's attack, relying on the walls, trying to take the opportunity to move towards the door. As long as there was a chance, the human instinct for survival would make them seize any small opportunity. And because of the smell of blood from Lou Zhan's wound, it further stimulated the mutated spider's ferocity, and most of its attacks were directed at them, which was an opportunity.

Just as the Qin siblings were about to move to the door, the door that had fallen at the entrance suddenly flew up and smashed straight towards the spider. A corner of the door pierced directly into the giant abdomen of the mutated spider. Everyone was shocked. The skin of the mutated spider was extremely tough. They didn't expect that the newcomer could directly pierce the corner of the door into its abdomen. It was obvious that the person had great strength and should be a power-type ability user.

At this moment, a figure rushed in. His speed was extremely fast. Using the scattered objects on the ground, he jumped up and kicked the spider's back. The mutated spider was knocked to the ground by such force. The person had already landed on one side of the mutated spider, and with a swing of his Tang knife, he chopped down at the junction of its abdomen and head, cutting its body in half.

After the spider was finally dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did they look at the newcomer in the dim light.

"Little Brother Lou!" Yan Ge was both surprised and delighted. That feeling was indescribable. He had thought they were doomed, but unexpectedly, they were saved.

Lou Dian ignored them and went back outside first, then carried someone in.

"Big Brother, Big Brother Yan, are you alright?"

Lou Zhan was relieved to see them and said, "I'm fine, as long as you're alright." Because Qin Peng and the others were present, he didn't ask about their mission and added, "Let's get out of here quickly. This underground laboratory has been occupied by mutated beasts, it's very dangerous, and many ability users have already died here."

The group didn't say anything and went straight out the door.

"Lou Zhan, I didn't expect your Lou family to have such a powerful person." Qin Peng looked at Lou Dian thoughtfully, his brows furrowed. Recalling what had happened earlier, he was suddenly startled and then remembered that it seemed that Lou Dian and the other person had disappeared from the beginning. Could it be…

Lou Zhan didn't want to pay attention to him at all. He was supported by Yan Ge, trying his best not to slow everyone down.

Lou Ling didn't have a good impression of the Qin family, so she ignored him and stayed comfortably in Lou Dian's arms. She asked, "Big Brother, where are you hurt?" She also saw Yan Ge supporting Lou Zhan. Lou Zhan was already trying his best to keep up with them.

Before Lou Zhan could speak, Yan Ge sneered, "Little Sister, that's a good question. Big Brother was really unjustly injured this time. Someone must have wanted to get rid of Big Brother and took the opportunity to do it."

"Hey, Yan Ge, that was really an accident." Qin Peng still insisted, "It was so dark then, there are always times when you accidentally injure someone."

Yan Ge let out a contemptuous sneer and glanced at Lou Dian, killing intent rising in his heart. Qin Peng was narrow-minded and loved to hold grudges. Looking at his intentions, he obviously wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Lou Zhan. If the Lou family lost Lou Zhan, the loss would be huge, and by then, wouldn't the Lou family be in the Qin family's pocket? Unfortunately, he had forgotten about Lou Dian's existence.

After forcibly suppressing the killing intent in his heart, Yan Ge asked the person being held by Lou Dian, "Little Sister Lou, what's wrong? Are you injured?"

"Yes, I'm a little injured." Lou Ling didn't elaborate. Seeing that Lou Zhan was having difficulty walking, she said, "Brother, you go carry Big Brother on your back, I'm fine."

Lou Dian paused and before he could speak, Yan Ge said, "No need, I'll carry Big Brother on my back." With that, he carried Lou Zhan on his back and followed them.

Lou Ling watched, speechless. Did he have to react so strongly? She didn't say she wanted him to carry her.

With two injured people, the group didn't move very fast, with Lou Dian leading the way. At first, because it was Lou Dian who came to rescue them, they subconsciously followed him and left. After walking for a while, Qin Peng finally reacted.

"Mr. Lou, where does this road lead to?"

"The exit on the first floor."

Qin Peng frowned slightly. The first floor underground was too large, with all kinds of winding passages. Except for the research institute personnel, other people would easily get lost here. Moreover, when they took on this mission, they didn't get a map of the underground laboratory, making it extremely difficult to find the right way. They often accidentally bumped into the territory of mutated beasts.

Now, listening to Lou Dian's meaning, it seemed that they were going back to the ground, which made him wonder if they had already obtained the information on the second floor of the laboratory.

Suddenly, Lou Dian shouted, "Run!" He took the lead, carrying Lou Ling and running forward.

Yan Ge followed without hesitation. The Qin siblings were a little hesitant, but they quickly followed.

The sound of reptiles crawling came from behind them, making their skin crawl. At the same time, they were also a little scared and ran forward desperately.

"Xiao Ling, iron wire vine!" Lou Dian's voice sounded in the rapid running, a little broken.

Lou Ling didn't hesitate to take out an iron wire vine seed and directly催生 it.

Yan Ge, who was running wildly, only felt a cold, metal-like thing wrap around his waist, binding him and Lou Zhan, who he was carrying on his back. Then he saw Lou Dian in front of him jump high, holding a person in one hand and a short knife in the other, stabbing it into the wall, using the force to bounce over. And they were also dragged by the vine that bound them, the two big men hanging in mid-air, dragged over together.

Screams came from behind.

Lou Zhan took the opportunity to look back and saw that the ground had collapsed, revealing an underground passage several meters long, leading to an unknown destination. Qin Peng was caught off guard and stepped into the air. Fortunately, he grabbed the ground with both hands, so he didn't fall in. Qin Zhen ran at the back, stopped in her tracks, and rushed over to pull him back to the ground.

At this moment, a foul-smelling gust of wind came from behind. In the dim light, a giant mutated snake lunged at them. Qin Peng's eyes widened in horror, and he reached out to grab Qin Zhen's hand, sliding into the dark tunnel together. The giant snake also chased after them, and the two people and the snake disappeared into the black passage.

On Yan Ge's side, when Lou Dian reached the other side and stopped, due to the dragging and binding of the iron wire vine, although he reacted very quickly, his whole body still inevitably slammed into the wall in front of him.

"Big Brother Yan, are you alright?!" Lou Ling exclaimed.

Yan Ge felt like his face was about to be slapped into a pancake by the hard wall. A wave of dizzying pain traveled through his nerves, and his whole body swayed a little. The iron wire vine that bound them loosened, and Lou Zhan hurriedly went down to help him up.

Two streams of nosebleed flowed down, and Yan Ge's elegant and handsome face was no longer as handsome as before. His whole face was bruised purple, completely unsightly.

After he had two balls of cotton stuffed up his nose, Yan Ge looked at the apologetic Lou family sister and the indifferent Lou family brother, who didn't feel any guilt at all, and wanted to slap him to death. He could only sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.

After Yan Ge had recovered somewhat, the four of them looked at the underground passage where Qin Peng and the other two had disappeared. Yan Ge spat out the word "serves them right" and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Without further ado about whether the two were alive or dead, the four continued on their way and came to a door. Lou Dian took out a card and swiped it on the electronic lock. The electronic door opened, and the four of them walked in.
