"Level 8 Spirit Source: Spirit Source 40/130" Harvesting twelve Spirit Source orbs at once, this Death was on the same level as the Lion Scorpion Ember Beast. As the twelve Spirit Source orbs entered his body, Su Li immediately felt a surge of energy, and his wounds began to heal at a visible rate. Ding Longyun, still shaken, rushed over to check on his injuries. "How are you? What the hell was that thing just now?" "I'm fine. That was another high-level undead called Death." Su Li waved his hand, looking at the shattered fragments of the scythe on the ground, where light suddenly flickered, followed by a series of glowing dots rising one after another, all heading toward his right hand. Su Li understood—this was a Spirit Source equipment that only rare beasts possessed. This Death was a rare existence among the undead race, and killing it actually yielded Spirit Source equipment. Soon, the surface of Su Li's right hand was coated in a layer of black material, thin as silk and light as nothing, as if his hand had been dyed ink-black. But Su Li knew this was actually a glove, so perfectly fitted to his skin that it looked like his right hand's skin had been stained black. As this black glove appeared on his right hand, Su Li felt a continuous stream of energy releasing from it, spreading from his right hand throughout his body. He sensed a new power growing within him. His strength had increased once again. This glove could actually boost his power. A piece of information surfaced in his mind. "Name: Death Glove (Right), Ability: Increases strength by 700 jin, increases defense by 300 jin." Su Li took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and looked at the black Death Glove on his right hand. He hadn't expected it to grant him a 700-jin strength boost. Now, his base strength was 1,600 jin, eight muscle enhancements added 2,100 jin, two heart enhancements added 200 jin, one bone enhancement added 100 jin, the Seven Star Wristband added 500 jin, the Blood Ring added 1,000 jin, and now the Death Glove added another 700 jin, bringing his maximum strength to an astonishing 6,200 jin. And in the "Demon Muscle" state, which doubled his strength, he could easily break through 10,000 jin. Not only had his strength terrifyingly increased, but his defense had also surpassed 2,000 jin. In the "Demon Muscle" state, even 3,000 to 4,000 jin of force couldn't break through his muscle defense. Seeing Su Li stand up and knowing he was fine, Ding Longyun suddenly thought of something and hurriedly turned to run toward the stairwell. Su Li followed, the twelve Spirit Source orbs having healed his injuries in a short time. He was now mostly recovered. He knew why Ding Longyun was rushing to the stairwell, and a sense of foreboding crept over him. After witnessing the terror of Death, he realized that those stationed on the upper floors, except for Qi Mengyu with her special ability, were likely in grave danger. Su Li followed Ding Longyun and quickly reached the 44th floor. "Rongrong!" Ding Longyun shouted, charging down the corridor, then suddenly stopped, trembling slightly as he saw a gruesome scene. Zhong Rongrong had been cut in half at the waist, blood and organs spilling across the floor in a shocking display. Her face was twisted, eyes wide open, as if she had died with lingering resentment. Su Li also stopped and took a deep breath. Ding Longyun slowly crouched down, muttering, "It's all my fault, all my fault for letting you come up... If I hadn't let you come up, you wouldn't have died." Trembling, he reached out and placed his hand on Zhong Rongrong's face, trying to close her eyes. He couldn't bear to look any longer. Though they hadn't known each other long and were together out of mutual need without deep feelings, seeing his former bedmate die so horribly before him still shook Ding Longyun deeply, his eyes reddening. Su Li didn't know what to say or how to comfort him, silently turning to look out the corridor and down below. The battle below was nearing its end. With the three most terrifying assassins dead, the remaining undead—whether Spitters, Corroders, or Throwers—weren't that fearsome. The group could handle them together, and even without Su Li and Ding Longyun, their victory wasn't affected. When the last undead fled and vanished, the group had lost two more people. That night, the total death toll in Jinying No. 1 Building B reached 12. Of course, the undead paid a heavier price, including the leader Death, with over 25 high-level undead killed. The torrential rain outside gradually subsided, and everyone knew this bloody, terrifying night was finally ending. After repelling the attacking undead, only a few escaped into the water. Once no more undead appeared, Gong Xiao, Xu Haijun, Luo Jun, and Xu Xuehui returned to the building. Cleaning the battlefield and handling the bodies would have to wait until tomorrow, left to the logistics team. Those who survived the night's battle felt utterly exhausted, with a faint relief at being alive. Qi Mengyu had been close to Zhong Rongrong, and when she saw her body again, she couldn't help but sob. Ding Longyun didn't cry, but his eyes were red, sitting in silence, dazed. Su Li, along with Xu Haishui and Luo Jun, helped handle Zhong Rongrong's body, as Ding Longyun couldn't bear to look at her gruesome remains. Soon, Jiang Shuiyu, Gu Mingfeng, and Ling Yi arrived on a wooden raft. When Su Li saw them, looking disheveled and covered in blood, he knew Building A had also been attacked. After asking, he learned that Building A's battle was even more brutal, with 19 deaths. And this was without Death appearing in Building A. Su Li suspected that if Death had shown up in Building A, Jiang Shuiyu and the others might have been wiped out. It wasn't impossible. Building A originally had only 36 people; after losing 19 tonight, only 17 remained. Soon, Wu Feng sent word about the Shimao Center's situation, also asking about Buildings A and B. The Shimao Center's attack was similar to Building A's, with 15 deaths. Spitters, Corroders, Throwers, and Assassins all appeared, but only one Death, which targeted Building B, not appearing in Building A or the Shimao Center. That night, all three buildings were attacked, with a total death toll of 46, reducing the Jinying Alliance's total to just 89. Su Li smiled bitterly. He remembered yesterday the alliance had 146 people, but today's hunting lost 11, and tonight lost 46—a total of 57 deaths in one day. The number was staggering. "I want to move everyone from Building A to your place." Jiang Shuiyu's face was pale, devoid of color. The night's bloody battle still made her heart race when she thought about it; it was her first time experiencing such a terrifying fight. With only 17 people left in Building A, they couldn't withstand another similar attack. After consideration, Jiang Shuiyu decided to move everyone to Su Li's location. Su Li nodded in agreement. Building B now had 49 people left, plus Jiang Shuiyu's 17, totaling 66. Having more people together was safer. The Death incident tonight was a wake-up call. If something similar happened again, the top floor would need strong enough defenders. But he knew that against something like Death, no one in the Jinying Alliance except himself could survive a top-floor defense. This level-nine rare beast was just too powerful. It was late, and everyone was exhausted. The actual move and transport of supplies would have to wait until tomorrow morning. Jiang Shuiyu didn't want to return to Building A and stayed there that night, still shaken by the battle. Su Li's current residence had three bedrooms. Besides his master bedroom, Qi Mengyu occupied another. Though Su Li felt it was inappropriate for a man and woman to share a house, Qi Mengyu insisted her main duty was to serve him and help clean, making living together more convenient. Seeing her persistence, Su Li didn't strongly refuse. Although there was no real relationship between Qi Mengyu and Su Li, many mistakenly saw her as his woman, treating her with some awe, especially the logistics staff who often flattered her. This made her regain her former feeling of importance. Qi Mengyu enjoyed this sense of being the center of attention, which was why she stubbornly stayed at Su Li's place. Jiang Shuiyu, not planning to leave that night, learned there was an empty bedroom and decided to stay temporarily, figuring out where to live later. Gu Mingfeng looked displeased, worried about rumors damaging Jiang Shuiyu's reputation, but she didn't care about others' opinions. Qi Mengyu felt a bit hostile toward Jiang Shuiyu moving in, sensing her territory was being encroached upon. But knowing she couldn't compete with Jiang Shuiyu, she kept her displeasure hidden. Su Li was speechless. Outsiders seeing two women move into his place would probably think he was enjoying a harem, but in reality, nothing was happening, and it only added to his frustration. But tonight was too exhausting. With so many dead across three buildings, he was mentally drained and under great pressure. Too tired to bother, he agreed when Jiang Shuiyu insisted on staying in the empty bedroom next door. What truly left him speechless was that Gu Mingfeng, clearly uneasy about Jiang Shuiyu staying, dragged Ling Yi in to stay as well, having Ling Yi sleep on the living room sofa while he made a bed on the floor.
