Chapter 004: Life and Death in an Instant

And now, Tang Rui himself is also surrounded by the giant unicorn worm!

At this point, he glanced at Tang Rui and said: "Tang Rui, it was a mistake for Hu Niu to have a child with you"

Do not die, I cannot die

Luo Dongyuan was stunned; this simple-minded person had actually struck him so decisively, and even cursed at him through gritted teeth. The coldness in his gaze made Luo Dongyuan feel that the person before him was so unfamiliar and terrifying. Luo Dongyuan did not dare to speak, appearing even more dazed and numb.

If death could prove that this is merely a nightmare, Tang Rui would find it acceptable. However, at the moment death approached, he felt that if he were truly pierced by that horn, he would likely die for real

"Take a break!" In a secluded corner, Li Tiezhang stopped. He took out an iron kettle and drank a few sips, taking a deep breath.

Tang Rui did not question Li Tiezhang's words. Although Li Tiezhang's attitude was unfriendly, his advice was based on experience and was still very useful for self-preservation

This sloped land is planted with sweet potatoes, which serve as the primary source of food for the entire settlement. If this sloped land is severely damaged, then a significant portion of the inhabitants of the settlement will face starvation.

Standing next to Tang Rui was a robust man with a simple and honest appearance, who looked at Luo Dongyuan with a gaze filled with compassion

I believe you should live longer than that guy

Luo Dongyuan was emotionally agitated, kneeling sincerely on the ground, continuously shouting, with tears welling up in his eyes

In the moment of life and death, the instinct to survive drove his hand to fall upon the hilt of that tiger's knife

This place is fraught with danger for us

Li Tiezhang, you take Tang Rui!" Yu Bin glanced at the bamboo pole, then turned to the honest man and said: "You take Luo Dongyuan.

At the moment he felt his body falling, he saw a horn approaching him in the direction of his descent.

"You remember this well, this is not a survival point. If you endanger the safety of the survival point, I can completely kill you." After the honest man finished speaking, he cast a faint glance at Tang Rui.

Just as Tang Rui was about to ask him where his last companion was, Li Tiezhang quietly said: "I have already outlived six companions, I hope you are not the seventh"

In addition to the three of them, the field team consists of one hundred members. The primary task of these one hundred individuals is not the hunting recorded in the main memory, but rather the protection of a vast area of sloped land covering over ten thousand acres.

A liberation that finally lets go of everything

Luodongyuan's excited demeanor suddenly sparked a thought in Tang Rui's mind: should he express himself like Luodongyuan? Just as he was hesitating, he heard the honest man say: "Tang Rui, it is quite commendable that you can remain so calm at this moment"

Luodongyuan, who had not yet left, trembled with his legs, and the small emotions within him finally erupted: "I... I do not want to join the field team, I want to return to the survival point, I want to return to the survival point!"

At this moment, it would be false to say that Tang Rui was not shaken; however, the reason for his astonishment was not the bright red sun, but rather the surroundings that resembled a fairyland.

It is to allow the human race to continue to thrive

Just as the two individuals were taking a break, Tang Rui suddenly felt the ground around him shake slightly. His first instinctive reaction was to question whether there was something wrong with his mental state

Li Tie solemnly stated: "After completing the early warning, our next priority is to ensure our own survival"

Our field team, there are always at least thirty or more people who remain here every year

"Alright, Luo Dongyuan, please be quiet for a moment." Yu Bin said seriously as he glanced at the sun, "You must remember that although the surface of the Earth is beautiful, it does not belong to us."

"Bloodline warriors will certainly die," Yu Bin said coldly. "Otherwise, how could I become the captain of the field team"

Upon seeing the man's palm, Tang Rui had a thought in his mind; he had also studied the Iron Sand Palm, but had not yet made any progress in it

The praise from the simple-hearted man left Tang Rui speechless; it was not his first time seeing the sun, and he truly could not be as emotionally stirred as Luo Dongyuan. Unexpectedly, his lack of reaction became a basis for being able to outlive Luo Dongyuan.

The combat uniform is made of materials that are unknown; although it appears to be only two or three parts new, it is remarkably durable

Li Tie wanted to shout but could not bring himself to do so. On his face, there was fear, reluctance, but more than that, there was a sense of relief

Yu Bin had long since grown accustomed to everything before him. He looked at Luo Dongyuan with indifference, his face devoid of any expression

Although Li Tie is somewhat inarticulate, he still provided Tang Rui with an introduction to the basic situation of the field team. The captain of the field team is Yu Bin, along with three vice-captains, who are also bloodline warriors

Tang Rui felt speechless; he had always felt wronged, yet he did not expect that, in Yu Bin's view, it was Hu Niu who was the one wronged.

Our role is essentially to provide a warning; when encountering a ferocious beast, our primary task is to activate the alarm and call the captain and his team to handle the situation

This is an F-level combat uniform, capable of resisting common mosquitoes; however, for higher-level mosquitoes, we must rely on ourselves

This gaze carries a clear warning.

The equipment in Li Tie's mouth is actually a set of dark green combat uniform, a knife, and a black object that resembles a communicator.

As Li Tie spoke, he pointed to the combat uniform that Tang Rui had just changed into and said, "Each of these gaps signifies a type of fatal injury"

Tang Rui nodded indifferently. Although it was also his first time encountering such a situation, his experiences from his previous life allowed him to understand this behavior quite well

What is the greatest task we face in survival? Do you know?" Without waiting for Tang Rui and the others to respond, Yu Bin coldly stated: "The greatest task is to survive.

Iron Sand Palm Mastery

This sentence, uttered by Li Tiezhang, evokes a chilling sensation in the listener

This slap was merciless, directly knocking Luo Dongyuan to the ground, causing blood to flow from his mouth and nose

This statement did not evoke the slightest sense of joy in Yu Bin; on the contrary, it imparted a feeling of discomfort.

The tall and thin man named Li Tie glanced at Tang Rui, and then coldly said: "My last companion's equipment is not far away, you can just use it."

In the settlement, this giant unicorn worm is rated as a catastrophic level threat, as it poses the greatest danger to the complete safety of the settlement

Walking in a picturesque environment, Li Tiezhang appears very indifferent, yet within this indifference lies a wealth of experience

This kind of liberation, Tang Rui understands very well, is a release that feels like a weight has been lifted, and it is also a liberation that comes without the need to struggle painfully any longer

Looking at his cautious demeanor, it seems that the moment he sets foot down, the ground, which was originally so calm, might suddenly open up a chasm and swallow him whole

Even bloodline warriors would have a headache upon encountering them

It is a giant unicorn worm, run away!

Just as Tang Rui was pondering whether he should retaliate, he saw a man, slender like a bamboo pole, walking over.

You scoundrel, do you think you can just quit the field team whenever you want? Without the field team, what will the entire survival point eat?" The honest man who was originally standing beside Luo Dongyuan unceremoniously slapped Luo Dongyuan across the face

Is it death

Only then did Li Tiezhang beside him leap up, his fingers swiftly pressing down on the communicator that he had hung on his chest

The air is refreshingly pure; taking a breath brings a sense of comfort and ease. The boundless greenery resembles a series of beautiful paintings layered upon one another

Tang Rui's reaction was no slower than Li Tiezhang's, but at the moment he leaped into the air, he saw Li Tiezhang's body, which had just fallen, being pierced directly by a long horn of earthy yellow color

Today, let them familiarize themselves with the safe area, and also take them to receive a set of equipment. After giving these instructions, Yu Bin turned and left

Originally overwhelmed by emotions, Luo Dongyuan suddenly became quiet, and his body even trembled involuntarily for a moment

Tang Rui did not prepare a water bottle, nor did he intend to share one with anyone, so he sat cross-legged on the ground

Although no danger was encountered, Tang Rui could sense Li Tiezhang's anxiety from his expression

Although this man is quite thin, he appears very spirited overall; at first glance, he seems to be made of cast iron.

The sun, this is the sun, ah ah ah! I have finally seen the sun! I have finally seen the sun!

Tang Rui and Li Tiezhang are responsible for patrolling a small road that is five hundred meters long. During the patrol, Li Tiezhang is extremely cautious, even taking care to carefully observe the next stepping point the moment his foot leaves the ground

"Do not sit on the ground; if you must sit, sit on the hard stone, as it is less dangerous." Li Tiezhang's words were low but left no room for doubt

The giant unicorn worm is not one, but two.

The Unicorn Giant Earthworm, information about which quickly flashed through Tang Rui's mind, is classified as a Level H ferocious beast in schools. Although it does not possess any special abilities, each Unicorn Giant Earthworm measures over 20 meters in length, and its skin is impervious to blades and bullets

Especially the two large hands, which shimmer with a metallic luster

Moreover, every year, there must be at least one bloodline warrior who falls

"Will the bloodline warriors also fall?" Luo Dongyuan asked in confusion

Remember, when faced with danger, each person should look out for themselves; I cannot help you, nor will I help you

Bloodline Warriors, in the entire settlement, are truly significant figures; each one of them, with just a stamp of their foot, is enough to cause the entire settlement to tremble

Such scenery, even at the most iconic attractions, had never been seen before the journey began
