CHAPTER 473: CHAPTER 471: CONSPIRACY

If it wasn’t for the dried bloodstains splattered every few meters on the walls and ground stalls, Su Mo would have thought this was a pre-apocalyptic luxury hotel.

After the room was arranged, the only person who had guided them here disappeared.

Before entering the room, Jin Han made a point of approaching Lu Chen and asked in a low voice, "What’s the situation? Just gonna sleep soundly like this?"

Lu Chen nodded, giving him a bland look, "Go to sleep, nothing will happen tonight."

That meant trouble might come tomorrow. After closing the door, Jin Han dispersed the rest of the people.

Jianxiong walked into the room that Su Mo and Lu Chen were sharing and first marveled at the luxurious interior. Then he smacked his lips, "In the past, I couldn’t afford to stay at this hotel. It’s five figures a night. What’s that strangely dressed man up to?"

Su Mo plopped down on the bed, and the soft mattress bounced up—a real hotel standard. She touched the bed and thought that she might secretly take it with her when they checked out—probably wouldn’t be a problem.

Lu Chen took off his slightly burnt coat and threw it on the floor, then drew back the heavy drapes to peek outside with one eye, "We’ll know tomorrow."

Su Mo lay back on the bed and looked up at Jianxiong’s stubbled chin, "Go rest, Jianxiong, nothing will happen with Lu Chen here."

"Alright, little sister, get some sleep early."

Only after the door was closed did Lu Chen approach the bed. He towered over her, a smile tinged his phoenix eyes, "You trust me that much?"

"Of course. Besides, there’s definitely something fishy about Rong Yuan. We’ll just wait and see tomorrow," Su Mo rolled around on the bed, patted the mattress, and added, "Before we go, we should really take this bed with us. It’s so comfy, even softer than the one at the hotel, which always ends up knocking my knees."

The air stilled for a moment, and as the man leaned down closer, Su Mo realized what was happening and her face turned red as she pushed him away, "You can’t possibly be in the mood here, can you!"

He teased the tip of her nose with his finger, his deep voice oozing sexiness, "At home, I’ll definitely have you."

Look at that, talk about saucy talk!

This man’s just unsatisfied and spewing nonsense!

Su Mo covered her face, not wanting to deal with him.

In a luxurious office, Boss Jin played with a golden bull figurine, while a woman with an excellent figure sat at the desk.

"Are you sure you cannot detect a thing with your Spiritual Ability on those three? You are a Level 5 superpower user, and they have only one Level 6 among them."

"My spiritual power is never wrong. Except for that Level 6 Ice Element user, I can’t make out anything about the other man and woman. They are probably not simple," the woman leaned her elbow on the desk, propping up her chin with her hand while staring at the man in front of her.

Rong Yuan fell into thought, his hand ceaselessly toying with the gold bull, "They killed one of our Level 4 superpower users."

"You don’t necessarily need to figure out why those people can shield themselves from spiritual power. I suggest you absorb them. A Level 6 fighter—what a powerful strength," the woman’s voice trailed off seductively.

"Absorb them?" Rong Yuan paused, his light golden eyes flashing, "Good idea."

"Hey, hey," the woman waved her slender finger in front of him, "I’m not saying for you to consume their Crystal Stones. That Level 6 fighter is the first we’ve come across so far. It’s hard to judge just how strong they really are. This isn’t fun and games."

"Without trying, how would we know?" Rong Yuan tossed the dice back onto the table, straightened his suit, and with his fair hand, took hold of the woman’s wrist, "If they really want to leave, then I’ll take that Level 6 Crystal Stone. You’ll help me, won’t you?"

"Have I ever been stingy with my help? Remember that grain storehouse swarming with zombies? We could make good use of that," the woman stood up, walked around the table, and tapped his chest with her finger, smiling seductively.

Rong Yuan pulled the woman’s hand and dragged her onto his lap, his palm caressing her thigh, as the room filled with an amorous air...

Early in the morning, just as the first traces of light seeped through the curtains, Su Mo had packed up her things, and even the bedding she slept on was neatly folded and placed in the System Bag.

To be safe from any tricks by the people in the hotel, Su Mo also used the small kitchen in the luxurious room to make two servings of Scallion Crispy Pumpkin, secretly calling over Jin Han to take one away.

"A fifty-minute shield should be enough to get us out of these people’s reach. I don’t want to experience a mine explosion again," Su Mo said, munching on the sweet and soft pumpkin with bread, her eyes narrowing in satisfaction.

"But sister, our car was blown up by them," Jianxiong swallowed his bread, his expression still somewhat annoyed.

Speaking of that, Su Mo also felt troubled, "There’s still a motorcycle in Lu Chen’s Space. Maybe you and Jin Han can squeeze on that for now, and we’ll look for another vehicle along the way."

"That’s all we can do."

In the adjacent room, several members of the Thunder Team gathered around Jin Han, watching as their boss put a piece of pumpkin in everyone’s hand, their minds filled with question marks.

Someone couldn’t help but speak out, "Boss Jin, what are you doing? We’re not exactly starving for some pumpkin."

"Go on, eat up, too many questions," said Jin Han, his head lowered. After putting the last piece of his own pumpkin in his mouth and savoring it, the sound of a fifty-minute shield alert by his ear was music to his ears.

Seeing him so engrossed, the team members each ate their piece of pumpkin, and soon successive sounds of gasping filled the room.

"Holy crap! Boss! This is treasure!"

The man’s voice was a bit too loud, which immediately earned Boss Jin’s disparaging gaze. He covered the man’s mouth with his hand and whispered, "This is from Su Mo. There’s definitely trouble brewing here. Be on your best behavior when we go out."

"Su Mo?! What kind of superpower did she develop? She’s practically a Cooking God!" someone exclaimed softly, and Su Mo’s image within the team was elevated once more.

"She’s about to open a restaurant, and pretty soon the whole refugee camp will know about it. Remember to take the lead when we get back," Jin Han gave them a meaningful look, then added with a touch of envy, "This woman has more than just this Skill. I’m so envious of Lu Chen, damn!"

After gathering their things, Lu Chen opened the room door and the two groups joined together, heading downstairs.

In the lobby of the first floor, many people sprawled asleep haphazardly and there was a strong smell of smoke. Several imposing men had already been waiting by the stairwell.

And as they were about to descend the stairs, they blocked the path.

"The strong are invited, Miss Fang would like to see you," this phrase was directed at Lu Chen.

Clearly, in just one night, the opposition had mostly figured out the Level of their people.

Su Mo managed a polite smile and said, "We have already imposed for one night, there’s no need to stay any longer."
