Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 379

What surprised them was that Lord Lu clearly used a gun, and his spear was still in his weapon pack.

The Level 7 beast’s muscle cuts were smooth, as if sliced by a sharp blade.

It died strangely.

“Collect the useful tissue fluid and continue.”

Lu Sheng casually instructed the Tiger Scorpion Squad.

They responded, quickly and efficiently dividing tasks.

The Tiger Scorpion Squad had rich Catacomb exploration experience, and collecting loot was a routine task for them.

Lu Sheng watched from the side.

Compared to before entering the Catacomb, his left wrist now had a black watch similar to those of the Tiger Scorpion Squad.

Besides resisting the Catacomb’s black mist for a longer time, this watch also functioned for team communication.

It also served as a credential for calculating merit points in the Catacomb.

The watch had a monitoring device to automatically record the number of beasts killed by a General, thus calculating merit.

Beasts below Level 7 had little value to a General, but those above Level 7 were more precious.

After killing, they had to collect spinal fluid, brain fluid, heart blood, etc., and submit them to the military for merit calculation.

Lu Sheng was lazy to do this butcher’s work, so he let the Tiger Scorpion Squad members handle it.

He was still savoring the move he used to kill the Level 7 beast.

He tried using the Dao of Slaughter and the Wish Wheel Blade technique.

Though without a real blade, his palm demonstrated unparalleled lethality.

With just one move, he split the Level 7 beast in half.

“It complements my Stellar Immortal Physique perfectly; the Dao of Slaughter can fully showcase the Stellar Immortal Physique’s power. Every part of my body is a weapon, combined with the second state of the Absolute Martial Path … I am a humanoid weapon!”

Lu Sheng thought silently, feeling quite satisfied.

At this time, the Tiger Scorpion Squad had finished collecting the essence of the Level 7 beast. Zhan Hongyu approached Lu Sheng, hesitated, and said, “The lower we go, the more dangerous it gets. Sir, should we rest a bit? I know a relatively safe spot nearby where we can rest.”

“Rest right after coming down?”

Lu Sheng’s calm face and flat tone carried undeniable authority, “Let’s talk after reaching the twentieth level.”

“Yes.”

Zhan Hongyu dared not object and nodded respectfully.

The group continued downward.

Lu Sheng still took action along the way.

Beasts below Level 7 were easily crushed by his psychic power, not even requiring an invisible Wish Wheel Blade wave.

For beasts above Level 7, Lu Sheng used the Dao of Slaughter.

His arms like sickles, a gentle wave brought a bloody aura.

No Level 7 beast could withstand his strike.

Lu Sheng’s hands were sharper than most Level 7 cold weapons.

Killing Level 7 beasts was as easy as cutting vegetables, his palms slicing through their supposedly indestructible bodies like a knife through tofu.

Following behind Lu Sheng, the Tiger Scorpion Squad members were stunned, their scalp tingling, reminded of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood when they first met Lu Sheng.

Back then, they wondered how Lu Sheng achieved it; now they had a clue.

Finally, when they reached the twenty-first level, Lu Sheng stopped and let Zhan Hongyu find a resting place.

Zhan Hongyu played her role as a guide, leading Lu Sheng to a hidden Catacomb rarely disturbed by beasts.

“This is a public area created by Generals, for them to rest while training in the Catacomb … Similar places are on the tenth and twentieth levels …”

The Catacomb was spacious, with supplies like drinking water, barbecue racks, sleeping bags, and dry food in the corners.

The bald man even found two bottles of strong liquor in a hidden spot.

“I knew Fatty Guang would hide booze here, lucky us!”

The bald man laughed slyly, feeling great.

He offered the bottles to Lu Sheng, who waved them away.

The others started a fire to cook the wild game they hunted on the way.

Thick light-blocking mats covered the Catacomb entrance, so the firelight wouldn’t attract beasts.

Lu Sheng sat on a cushion, seemingly pondering but actually using his psychic power to search the memory map for the Mithril mine’s location.

He didn’t find the mine, but he did notice a few figures rapidly approaching the Catacomb.

“Someone’s coming.”

Lu Sheng suddenly spoke.

The busy Tiger Scorpion Squad members paused, looking at him.

Then they silently spread out, grabbing their weapons.

With a look from Zhan Hongyu, the handsome young man silently slipped out.

***

Lu Sheng remained calm.

The few people he detected were generally as strong as the Tiger Scorpion Squad.

If he wanted to resolve the situation, it wouldn’t take him more than two breaths.

Half a minute later, the handsome young man returned.

“They are from the Hongluo Battle Star Squad. I know someone in their team …”

The Tiger Scorpion Squad members immediately relaxed, putting down their cold weapons.

Zhan Hongyu walked up to Lu Sheng and voluntarily explained, “They are also an A-level general star squad in the war zone. I’ve never met them, but I’ve heard of them.”

Lu Sheng nodded without saying anything.

Before long, the light-blocking mat of the Catacomb was opened.

A young man wearing combat gear and sporting dreadlocks cautiously walked in, holding an alloy long knife.

“Yao Yu!”

The handsome young man from the Tiger Scorpion Squad called out.

The dreadlocked man froze, quickly showing a look of surprise on his face as he recognized the handsome young man.

“It’s you?!”

His gaze quickly scanned the other members of the Tiger Scorpion Squad, including Lu Sheng, and then he reported through his wrist communication watch, “Captain, the rest spot is all clear. It’s just the Tiger Scorpion Squad here …”

“Got it.”

Ending the communication, the dreadlocked man quickly walked towards the handsome young man.

The two embraced like old friends, happily catching up.

“How long have you been here?”

“Almost a month now.”

“How’s the harvest?”

“Don’t mention it! Almost lost someone…”

The others listened to their conversation but didn’t interrupt.

Before long, the light-blocking mat moved again, and three figures entered the Catacomb.

“Captain!”

The dreadlocked man quickly stood up and approached the three.

He introduced them to a robust middle-aged man with a crew cut, “An acquaintance of mine. These are the members of his squad, the Tiger Scorpion Squad …”

The crew-cut middle-aged man listened quietly, then stepped forward and said, “Tiger Scorpion Belle, Zhan Hongyu, I’ve long admired your name.”

Zhan Hongyu replied solemnly, “Captain Luo Zhen of the Hongluo Squad, now that I’ve met you today, I see that your reputation is well-deserved …”

Lu Sheng watched from the side, feeling rather speechless.

These two with their “long admired” and “well-deserved” phrases seemed like they were acting in a movie.

Why not just greet and exchange QR codes to become friends, instead of all this formality?

But considering that Zhan Hongyu and her team were all in their fifties, sixties, and even seventies …

Practically in his grandparents’ generation, he understood.

After a lengthy introduction between Zhan Hongyu and the crew-cut middle-aged man, everyone finally sat down.

The Hongluo Squad had indeed stayed in the Catacomb for a long time without going out.

Their packs were filled with essential beast essence liquid instead of supplies.
