20: Doomsday Dungeon - The Last Spark (Part 2)

The team began to advance.

At first, the soldiers could suppress the Infected, but as time passed, more and more Infected gathered behind them.

The pressure on the five people also began to increase.

Kylie: "Hurry, we must get out of here as soon as possible. There's a group of Infected surrounding us from the front!"

Jess: "Don't mind these ordinary people, they'll only drag us down. Let's go!"

Sakurako: "But, but is this really okay?"

Sakurako's eyes glowed pink, and while she spoke kind words, she actually directly manipulated the soldiers to charge towards the Infected outside.

BASF: "Can't wait any longer, let's go!"

The four seemed to have reached some agreement and left directly. As for Tang Ping, an E-rank Talent, he was no different from an ordinary person and was simply abandoned.

A Non-commissioned Officer gave a bitter smile, as if he had long expected it: "Brothers, hold off these Infected! We'll fight our way out!"

Turning his head, the Non-commissioned Officer looked at Tang Ping: "Aren't you leaving?"

Tang Ping said indifferently: "I will lead you out."

The Non-commissioned Officer froze, then gave a bitter laugh: "You really are different from them. You should go, we can still hold off these Infected."

Tang Ping didn't answer, he started a countdown: "Five, four."

The Non-commissioned Officer was somewhat confused, but the situation was critical, and he had to face the Infected.

"Three, two, one."

Dozens of Infected that had arrived completely surrounded them.

But, with a tremendous roar! The ground exploded! The Infected on the periphery were instantly torn to pieces.

The huge roar and its aftershock made all the Infected stumble, including the fewer than twenty soldiers remaining.

Tang Ping had already prepared, and immediately took out three Peashooters: "Fire!"

The three Peashooters, one pea per Infected. Those fist-sized peas smashed down, directly scattering the Infected everywhere, much more powerful than in the game.

After the Potato Mines blew up most of the Infected in the outer circle, the three Peashooters quickly dealt with the remaining fallen Infected.

"This, this is!" The Non-commissioned Officer stood firm in shock.

"Now is not the time to talk. Such a big commotion will definitely attract more Infected from further away, we need to leave quickly," Tang Ping said rapidly. His gaze fell on the pale-faced soldier; seeing that he was fine, he was relieved. Compared to escorting the serum, this person was the most valuable.

"Okay!" The Non-commissioned Officer reacted and immediately ordered: "Everyone, retreat with me!"

The other four people, who had already run over a kilometer away.

Clearly also heard the huge explosion.

Jess: "It seems these people have already cleared out those Infected."

BASF: "Without the burden of these ordinary people, our speed has indeed increased significantly."

Sakurako: "I hope they can enter heaven after they die."

The four sped across the Wasteland, unaware that after losing the soldiers, they would immediately enter the next stage.

Pollution Beast!

If they had a soldier with them, they would only face Infected, but unfortunately, they didn't.

Tang Ping also had no obligation to tell them about this hidden protection mechanism.

On a rocky hill, a group of soldiers huddled in a small cave.

Tang Ping took out compressed biscuits, mineral water, and canned meat from his Shelter: "Eat these quickly, recover your energy, and we'll continue our journey."

A soldier opened it, took a bite, and finding no rotten taste, his eyes widened: "This, this is uncontaminated food! Oh my god, this was only available decades ago!"

"Uncontaminated food!" The hands of the other soldiers holding food stopped.

"These foods are too precious, we can't eat them." The Non-commissioned Officer's hand also paused. He had originally thought it was just ordinary food, but he didn't expect it to be uncontaminated food!

Tang Ping shook his head: "It's already been taken out and has been tainted by the disaster of corruption. Even if put back, it will be contaminated, so hurry and eat."

The Non-commissioned Officer immediately felt some guilt: "Chosen One, we will safely escort you to the Safe Zone!"

The seventeen remaining soldiers tasted a delicacy they probably would never eat again in their lives—food without any strange odor.

After half an hour of rest, everyone set off again.

There were still Infected on the road, but they seemed to be much fewer.

This path was found by Tang Ping from that website.

Although this unique dungeon would no longer appear after four days.

There were many entrances to this dungeon all over the world. Many players entered within these four days, and many of those who safely left even broke through to Level 7 and lived for over a hundred years.

So he searched for a lot of useful information.

Besides hidden quests, there were also safer routes.

"There are so few Infected on this route!" The Non-commissioned Officer was extremely excited. If this route were recorded, future contact between the two Safe Zones would greatly reduce casualties.

"Indeed, this is a route I once accidentally obtained from an old man. When we return to the Safe Zone, you can draw a map, but you must remember," Tang Ping pointed to a distant mountain shaped like a turtle's back.

"There is a Level 7 Pollution Beast there!"

"A Level 7 Pollution Beast!" The Non-commissioned Officer's pupils contracted, clearly showing fear.

"You don't need to worry too much. It's a big turtle; as long as you don't foolishly provoke it, it usually won't bother to move," Tang Ping said calmly.

The Non-commissioned Officer calmed his feelings a bit: "A turtle, huh? Thank you, I will report it truthfully, thank you."

He was also secretly surprised, no wonder there were so few Infected on this road, it turned out there was such a terrifying existence.

However, if utilized properly, it might really be possible to open up a path connecting the two Safe Zones!

The Non-commissioned Officer felt a little excited.

Among the soldiers, the pale-faced soldier was also secretly observing Tang Ping, his eyes full of curiosity.

As they advanced, Tang Ping got closer and closer to the Safe Zone.

"You all rest here for half an hour, I'm going out for a bit," Tang Ping suddenly said.

The Non-commissioned Officer was stunned, but quickly nodded in agreement. Their survival was entirely thanks to him: "Okay, everyone, rest here for half an hour!"

The soldiers were indeed very tired.

And Tang Ping headed up the mountain.

This rocky mountain wasn't high, only over three hundred meters, but it contained a very precious treasure.

This treasure, in that future a hundred years later, created a Heavenly King with a dual S-rank Talent.

Moreover, this item was unique; once someone collected it, others would not encounter it even if they entered the dungeon again.

Tang Ping braved the wind. The wind was incredibly strange, blowing against his body as if knives were scraping his bones.

By the time he reached the summit, Tang Ping was completely exhausted.

"Found it."

A red lotus, completely out of place in this gray, dilapidated world, swayed gently.
