Lin Yu calmly watched Wu Han hurry away.
He had to admit that Wu Han was a clever man.
But...
that was useless.
In the apocalypse, as long as you weren't a Beyonder, no matter how clever you were...
it was useless.
While everyone was busy arranging seats,
Lin Yu approached Chen Sui's vehicle and spoke to a balding middle-aged man.
"I'm here to collect my one unit of food."
The man was Chen Sui's butler, as well as the steward of the entire Survival Squad. Everyone called him Uncle Zhao.
He handled the distribution of resources and food, and he was also Chen Sui's confidant.
Apparently, he had served as Chen Sui's butler even before the apocalypse.
As for Chen Sui's identity...
that had always been a mystery.
Uncle Zhao looked Lin Yu over and asked with a smile,
"What kind of food would you like?"
Without a second thought, Lin Yu replied,
"Bread."
Before today, he would certainly have chosen a steamed bun.
Steamed buns were more filling!
But now...
since he had a choice, he ought to pay some attention to his quality of life.
Uncle Zhao took a piece of jam-filled bread from the back seat.
"Will this do?"
Lin Yu nodded and accepted it.
"Yes."
Looking at him, Uncle Zhao couldn't help remarking,
"Tsk. You seem different today, kid. Before, you would've definitely picked a steamed bun. I've always thought of you as someone who only wanted to survive and didn't mind hardship..."
That was what made Uncle Zhao impressive.
He was clearly just an ordinary man, yet he knew every squad member's personality, preferences, and past actions like the back of his hand.

"Maybe."
Lin Yu responded calmly and turned away.
There was no need to say too much.
In this damned apocalypse, a perfectly normal person suddenly going mad or dying was nothing unusual.
All he had done was make a slightly different choice.
No one would care about that.
Just then, suddenly, the screen in the air stirred again.
A third [Choice] appeared!
Everyone froze and looked up.
Everyone immediately gathered around again, their eyes full of hope!
[Choices] were the key to survival. Who didn't love them?
Of course...
provided Chen Sui didn't force them to participate.
[If you were offered one dose of Grade F Gene Enhancement Serum, which would you choose...?]
[A: Spend a full 12 hours in a room with a Red-Robed Female Ghost.]
[B: Spend 12 hours of passion with a Succubus of the opposite sex.]
Once they read the [Choice], everyone was shaken!
What?
Gene Enhancement Serum?
Even the Beyonders felt their hearts begin to race.
Injected into the body, Gene Enhancement Serum improved every aspect of a person's physical capabilities without any side effects. Both Beyonders and ordinary people could use it.
It was something that genuinely, directly increased strength!
And in the apocalypse...
strength meant life!
Even a Beyonder might double their combat power after injecting it!
Chen Sui, Ye Qing, Huang Mao, Zhai Guang, and a female Beyonder with almost no presence, concealed in the shadows, all fixed their eyes on the screen.
They...
all wanted it!
Several seconds later,
Chen Sui was the first to look away. He shook his head slightly, his voice full of regret.
"What a pity..."
Both options were extraordinarily difficult!
With their current strength, completing either was impossible.
Option A required facing a Red-Robed Female Ghost.
[Red-Robed Female Ghost] was a rank among supernatural horrors. In human Sequence terms, it was equivalent to a formidable Sequence 7 Beyonder!
How the fuck were they supposed to fight that?
The strongest Beyonder in their squad was only Sequence 9.
The gap between them was like heaven and earth.
One look could make them explode.
As for option B, it was equally hellish.
What spending twelve hours of passion with a Succubus entailed... went without saying.
This was a Succubus!
Forget twelve hours.
Even one hour would leave them drained to a husk!
Zhai Guang's vicious eyes filled with resentment. He clenched his fists. "We finally find some Gene Enhancement Serum... Fuck...!"
"Maybe I should try!"
"Option A is out, but B... I have Flesh Regeneration."
Chen Sui cut him off.
"You have Flesh Regeneration, not you-know-what regeneration. Stop dreaming."
Zhai Guang snorted and said nothing.
He had only been talking. He wasn't stupid enough to throw his life away.
Suddenly,
At that instant, every survivor felt a chill. Panic spread across their faces, and they instinctively backed away.
This...
wasn't fucking "letting them try."
He was plainly sending them to their deaths!
Chen Sui looked at Zhai Guang coolly.
"If even you can't do it, they can?"
Zhai Guang sneered.
"How will we know unless they try?"
"This is Gene Enhancement Serum. You're not planning to give up, are you?"
Cold light flashed in Chen Sui's eyes. He looked straight at Zhai Guang, his level voice chilling to the bone. "Zhai Guang, don't forget that I'm the captain. I have full authority over decisions concerning the survivors."
"I will not force any survivor in my squad to take a [Choice] that means certain death."
Zhai Guang remained unhappy and wanted to argue. But at Chen Sui's icy stare, he swallowed his words. Then he viciously kicked a nearby jeep to vent his frustration.
"Fuck!"
Bang!
The jeep's door caved in instantly.
Its owner... was nearly scared to death.
He didn't dare make a sound.
Never mind kicking his door.
Even if Zhai Guang had kicked him instead, he wouldn't have dared complain.
The survivors looked at Chen Sui with gratitude. Some were nearly in tears!
Thank goodness their captain hadn't abandoned them.
Otherwise...
Zhai Guang would certainly have forced them into the [Choice], forced them to die!
At that moment,
Chen Sui's noble image rose even higher in their hearts. To many, he had practically become a beacon of light.
"We're passing on this [Choice]."
After one last look at the screen, Chen Sui made his decision.
Reluctant as Huang Mao was, he obeyed and nodded.
He knew Chen Sui had made the wisest choice.
Neither option offered a way to live.
Ye Qing lounged in her red supercar, her long, pale legs resting casually on the steering wheel. Her sultry voice carried a languid note.
"What a shame..."
The nearly imperceptible Beyonder in the darkness concealed herself again without a sound.
As for the ordinary survivors, that went without saying.
Why would they take part in a suicidal [Choice] like this?
Only one person...
Lin Yu, was still looking up at the screen.
Becoming a Beyonder was difficult. He couldn't find an opportunity or even a direction.
But...
what if he could obtain Gene Enhancement Serum?
That serum...
could give him superhuman abilities too!
