Chu Tianqiu came to the door and pulled it open a crack to look outside.

Ever since the “Ants” joined the battlefield, the situation outside had indeed changed drastically.

Almost every room had been visited by “Ants.” They held many eyeballs and “Tao” in their hands, their harvest quite abundant.

Yan Zhichun and the others seemed to be leading many “Ants” to sweep through the “Heaven-level” rooms, then headed toward more distant corridors.

In a daze, Chu Tianqiu seemed to see quite a few people rushing toward the “train head” position.

There were “Zodiacs,” “Participants,” and even “Ants.”

Originally, the “Ants” shouldn’t have been gathering toward the train head anymore, but at this moment, a strange “Participant” in the far distance attracted the attention of many “Ants.” She was leading a large number of “Ants” as she sprinted toward the train head.

That person seemed to possess “Leap,” yet also looked utterly disheveled. Whenever she was about to be touched by the “Ants,” she would use “Leap” to shift a short distance. But she deliberately didn’t use “Leap” for long-distance movement, maintaining an elusive distance with the “Ants.” The situation was puzzling.

The “Ants” wouldn’t attack “Participants” at all, so what was she?

A “Heaven-level”…?

Just as Chu Tianqiu was pondering this, he saw a door to the front left open. Earth-Monkey and Earth-Rooster, covered in wounds, emerged. They coughed while removing strands of long hair from their bodies.

Inside that door, besides gray-black hair covering the floor, there were many dismembered “Ant” bodies. It looked like they too had experienced a deadly battle.

“Hey…” Chu Tianqiu said somewhat anxiously. “Get back inside first.”

“Get back…?” Earth-Rooster spotted Chu Tianqiu at the “train head” with a single glance, and his expression changed. “Why are you standing here so brazenly?”

“It’s a long story… You two retreat first, the situation doesn’t seem right.” Chu Tianqiu said. “Something strange is coming, seems like a ‘Heaven-level’…”

Chu Tianqiu couldn’t articulate what the problem was. That woman’s figure was too distant—besides her gender, he could barely make out anything.

“Is there a woman among the ‘Heaven-level’ who has ‘Leap’?” Chu Tianqiu asked while staring into the distance.

“A woman with ‘Leap’…” Earth-Rooster thought for a moment. “Wouldn’t that be Heavenly-Horse…?”

Earth-Monkey nodded after hearing this. “Yes… Perhaps ‘Leap’ is the only ability that can escape the ‘Ants’ pursuit…”

“But could that be Heavenly-Horse…” Chu Tianqiu narrowed his eyes at that disheveled figure. “Since each of you knows Heavenly-Horse’s ability… If I were responsible for facing her, even if it cost me my life, I would cripple Heavenly-Horse’s legs and feet.”

“The one matched against Heavenly-Horse is that tall sister…” Earth-Rooster said thoughtfully. “Not sure if she has such means… Perhaps she failed?”

Chu Tianqiu didn’t have time to think. He just said to the two, “You should find a way to hide first. No matter what that thing is, don’t let her see you. After all, the people who knew your ‘rebel’ identities are dead. You’re safe now.”

After exchanging glances, the two agreed. There was no plan for the next step now. Since they couldn’t help the ongoing action, at least they shouldn’t drag down those in action.

They nodded to Chu Tianqiu and quietly retreated, returning to Heavenly-Monkey and Heavenly-Rooster’s room before closing the door.

Chu Tianqiu kept watching the corridor outside while quietly asking the three girls behind him, “Not ready yet?”

“Almost… Give me two more minutes…” Tiantian said. “I’ll have it all memorized soon.”

“Two minutes…” Chu Tianqiu narrowed his eyes and gripped an eyeball in his hand as well.

The situation was indeed somewhat tricky now. If the other party was truly a “Heaven-level,” theoretically he would need to swallow a large number of eyeballs to contend with her.

But with so many “Ants” wandering around now, the only way to avoid being accidentally injured by them was to discard the eyeballs on his person.

How could he fight that “Heaven-level” in such a dilemma?

While Chu Tianqiu was pondering tactics, some “Zodiacs” and “Participants” arrived at the door first. Chu Tianqiu looked carefully and saw the newcomer was actually an Earth-Dog, followed by Lin Qin, Xiao Xiao, Zheng Yingxiong, and others.

Both sides looked at each other through the door crack but said nothing. Earth-Dog led everyone to turn away toward the fork where the “Heaven-level” was located, and then knocking sounds rang out there.

Seeing this, Chu Tianqiu was even more puzzled. The closer this plan got to its end, the more bizarre the situation seemed. Earth-Dog was actually leading a group of “Extreme Path” members to knock on a “Heaven-level’s” door? So what exactly was happening now…

Before he could come to a conclusion, that “Heaven-level” seemed to have gradually mastered the use of “Leap.” In just a few flashes, she arrived at a visible position.

But when Chu Tianqiu saw that face, the doubt in his eyes really couldn’t be suppressed.

He had made many assumptions in his mind, but still couldn’t understand what was happening now.

After all, that “Heaven-level” with a panicked face, desperate to escape, was Xiao Ran.

“Qinglong!! Qinglong, open the door quickly!! Everyone outside has gone crazy!!” Xiao Ran shouted while running toward the door. “There are so many rebels outside… And many monsters!”

Chu Tianqiu felt his thoughts had never been this chaotic. With no plan available, he could only choose to reach out and close the door.

He didn’t even know if he was trying to block Xiao Ran or block the “Ants.” He just vaguely felt that Xiao Ran seemed to have become Qinglong’s person, so she absolutely couldn’t be allowed to enter this room.

“What?!” Seeing the door being closed, Xiao Ran’s expression changed instantly. “Qinglong, what are you doing?!”

She came to the door and pounded on it forcefully. “Open the door!!”

Lawyer Zhang and Yun Yao were attracted by this sound, their hearts contracting simultaneously. They hurriedly turned to look at Chu Tianqiu. “What’s going on… Who’s knocking?”

Chu Tianqiu didn’t know how to answer this question, feeling his brain in complete chaos. “It’s Xiao Ran… What exactly is this situation? I really don’t understand…”

“Xiao Ran…” Zhang Chenze paused, then looked at Tiantian. “…Who’s that?”

After hearing this, Tiantian shrugged, indicating she’d never heard this name.

After hearing this, Yun Yao’s expression changed. She took out lipstick from her small bag and casually tossed it onto the table. The lipstick rolled a few times on the table surface before standing steadily upright.

“Tianqiu, open the door.” Yun Yao said. “The ‘Fortune’ is still very strong. Every decision I make next will be correct. Let Xiao Ran in.”

After hearing this, Chu Tianqiu turned to look at her. “Are you sure? I heard you two have a grudge…”

“Sure.” Yun Yao nodded. “Maybe it’s precisely because of ‘Strong Fortune’ that we formed this grudge.”
