"Damn, why don't you try not eating here for two days?"

Erpang rolled his eyes angrily, clearly outwardly compliant but inwardly resentful, feeling that he hadn't eaten and that Wang Pangzi was bullying him because of his numbers.

Ji Haobo, standing nearby, smiled and handed over another packet of instant noodles.

"Hey! Erpang, you're underestimating Fatty Wang. He used to go hungry nine meals in three days. Your skill at enduring hunger isn't up to par!"

"laugh"

Old Hu couldn't help but laugh; he knew all too well about Fatty Wang's past predicaments.

"Brother Bo, I'm losing weight, not just starving myself."

Fatty Wang offered an awkward and feeble explanation, which he himself didn't believe, and quickly changed the subject, pointing ahead.

"Look, there's a foreigner lying dead over there!"

"Stop looking, it's all that little wench, Ah Ning's..."

Before Erpang could finish speaking, he received a slap on the back of the head.

"Snapped"

"Ouch! Mr. Bo, what are you doing?"

Erpang covered his head and turned around, looking at Ji Haobo who was smoking with a blank expression.

"Hehe, nothing! Just telling you to be polite and stop swearing, it's really impolite."

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The people around him were amused by his reasoning and his own foul language, which made them want to be more civilized.

"This...this, is it polite of you to just hit someone on the head like that?"

He couldn't fight city hall, so Erpang could only mutter under his breath with a long face, but Ji Haobo could still hear him clearly.

"Snapped"

"I'm using etiquette to command respect, you know? I'm using my own manners to make others obey."

Erpang was really about to cry. He felt like he had encountered some kind of ancestor who was good at winning people over with his manners and virtues. It was really... really too civilized.

Just then, Wu Xie, who went to check the body, suddenly screamed and fell to the ground with a thud, staggering backward.

This guy was so terrified that not only was his face contorted, but he couldn't even utter a complete sentence except for "Fuck...Fuck."

The people nearby were startled. Old Hu shone his flashlight in their direction, and their facial muscles twitched and their hands trembled.

"Brother Bo, these people seem to have been bitten to death by insects. Their bodies are... are riddled with holes, it's unbearable to look at!"

"Oh! Then let's skip it and go to the front."

Ji Haobo stepped over several corpses without looking back and walked out of the cave. In front of him was a huge underground space.

The space is divided by earthen walls five or six meters high, forming a maze that seems to have no end.

"I have something to take care of first. Lao Hu, please shine your flashlight upwards every now and then."

Ji Haobo took out two Type 100 submachine guns and a few magazines and handed them over.

Before the others could ask any questions, he leaped up and jumped onto the maze wall, where he continued to leap and disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Holy crap, a martial arts master, with lightness skill?"

Erpang stared in disbelief at Bo Ye, who vanished before his eyes with a swift leap across the rooftops.

"Let's go! Let's try to get through this maze first."

Old Hu called out to Fatty Wang, then jumped down into the cave and entered the maze below.

On the other side, Ji Haobo would stand quietly and listen wherever he passed.

As he passed through a certain part of the maze, he heard disordered footsteps and a low growl.

Ah Ning felt extremely tired, exhausted, and hungry, but she dared not stop, as the monsters that her subordinates had transformed into were chasing after her.

However, what truly drove her to despair was that not long ago, insects appeared in such large numbers that they swarmed like a tide, and she was injured because she couldn't avoid them.

Moreover, one of them bit through the skin and burrowed into the abdomen, and now every step he takes causes him excruciating pain.

Ah Ning felt her body getting weaker and weaker, and she even started to hallucinate.

She saw a pillar of light appearing in the distant maze. Could this be the legendary "last gasp of life"?

"Roar"

The roars behind her grew closer, but she simply couldn't run anymore; her body, having lost too much blood, had reached its limit.

He swayed and reached out to hold onto the wall, preparing to sit down and face death.

To her surprise, she touched a warm and strong hand, and before she could react, a familiar voice appeared.

"Little wildcat, you're still as strong-willed and stubborn as ever."

Ah Ning felt like she was hallucinating again; how could that person possibly be in this underground place?

"Hao...Haobo, I'm sorry, I may never see you again. I didn't want to break up with you, but...but...ah!"

Before she could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her abdomen, as if something was churning inside. Soon after, a cool sensation returned, and the pain gradually subsided.

"If you don't want to break up, then don't. There's no 'just' about it; what you're worried about isn't a problem at all."

Ah Ning felt that she might really be experiencing a final burst of energy before death; she was feeling much better now and could clearly hear Hao Bo's voice.

"Hao...Haobo, I never thought I'd see you again before I die. Even if it's all an illusion, I'm still so happy."

"Oh! Really? Then it'll be even more fun later."

Ji Haobo smiled, picked her up, leaped onto the maze wall, and disappeared from the area in a few flashes.

Old Hu led a few people around the maze for more than an hour, but they couldn't find a way through.

"Damn it, who the hell built this lousy maze? Don't let me find out, or else... or else..."

"Tch, what else can you do? You fatso, you can't bite him, can you?"

"Damn it, Fatty Er, talk to me politely. I may not be able to bite him, but I can get Master Bo to beat him to death."

"Hiss... hiss..."

"Damn it, what's with that 'chicken' you idiot?"

"Hiss... hiss"

"Holy crap! This is outrageous! Fatty wants to..."

Old Hu, annoyed by their noise, turned around with a dark face and scolded them:

"Damn it, you two bastards, shut up! Is there some noise up ahead?"

The group immediately fell silent, focusing their attention and listening intently. Sure enough, they could hear rustling sounds coming from all directions.

The group exchanged glances, their faces turning pale. Erpang whispered in a panic:

"Damn it, a swarm of corpse beetles is coming, what do we do?"

"We're lost, what else can we do? Run, of course! Are we just going to wait to die?"

Old Hu randomly picked a passage and ran off, with the other three quickly following. Luckily, their flashlights were bright enough, otherwise they might have gotten separated.

After running for a while, not only did they not shake him off, but the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Damn it, we're surrounded! Old Hu, get ready to fight!"

As soon as Fatty Wang finished speaking, corpse beetles appeared from all directions, a dark mass surging in like a flowing river.

"Da da da…"

The gunfire was deafening, and bullets whizzed through the swarm of corpse beetles. Although some were killed, it was nothing compared to the entire swarm.

The group fought and ran, with Erpang and Wu Xie taking off their clothes and waving them around, sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Damn it, this won't work! Erpang, quickly try starting a fire to see if it works!"

"All you do is talk, what am I supposed to do with my dick?"
