Li Hong Wei hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind. I want to continue moving forward. Even if I go back, as one of the enhancers, we still have to come out…”
“On the other hand, we have come this far, it feels reluctant to not continue onward…”
Xia Yuan quickly expressed his thought as well, “I also want to advanced further. Even if not for everyone, we need to consider ourselves. Killing monsters strengthens our abilities. In this unknown world, the stronger we are, the higher our survive rate!”
Zhao Yu slightly nodded, “Makes sense!”
He actually wanted to continue as well. After all, he want to be enhanced by the white light till the point he was able to use the tier 1 genetic potion.
“What about them?” Li Hong Wei pointed at those clamoring to return.
After all, before setting off, he and Zhou Hai Sheng were the leaders. Now that Zhou Hai Sheng was dead, he was the nominal leader.
“Why not split into two groups?” Xia Yuan suggested with a smile. “Those who want to go back can take the injured with them, so they don’t hold us back… Those who don’t want to go back can join us. Maybe we’ll get a few more enhanced people along the way…”
“Alright!”
Zhao Yu also agreed with his suggestion and signaled Li Hong Wei to do his part.
Li Hong Wei breathed a sigh of relief, fearing Zhao Yu might seize power at such a time. With Zhao Yu’s strength, he couldn’t oppose him now.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu was cooperative!
He grow a bit fond of Zhao Yu, feeling that although Zhao Yu was just a ninth-class citizen, he was smart and posses with great awareness.
When Li Hong Wei went to convey the decision to split forces, Wang Zi Jun also decided to come over.
“Brother Yu, thank you for before…” Wang Zi Jun said gratefully.
During the second monster attack, if Zhao Yu hadn’t kicked him, he might have ended up dead like Cao Ji Ji.
Later on, when some students were putting all blame on him, Zhao Yu had come to the rescue.
Now, he held Zhao Yu in high regard, feeling indebted to him.
“It’s nothing, we’re classmates. I couldn’t just stand by and watch!”
This was true. At first, Zhao Yu thought he was quite selfish, but instinctively, he had save someone.
Wang Zi Jun patted his chest, “Brother Yu, when we get back, I’ll introduce you to some friends. They’re all from our circle…”
He spoke proudly. Their circle wasn’t just for anyone to join.
It comprised mostly eighth-class citizens from Class 13, including Li Hong Wei, a seventh-class citizen.
Zhao Yu knew that this circle was Wang Zi Jun’s favorited friends. He didn’t refute, not wanting to hurt his feelings.
Soon, Li Hong Wei reported the tally. Out of 54 people, 15 had died. And the remaining 39, 21 wanted to return, and only 18 wished to continue.
Among these 18, one had a cut on his arm and had already bandaged the wound.
“Everyone, you should head back quickly. Leave the rest to us!”
Li Hong Wei was quite diplomatic, not mocking those who chose to return.
His leadership really caused a tinge of guilt in those who wanted to go back.
Thus, the team split into two groups. Zhao Yu, Li Hong Wei, Xia Yuan and the remaining 18 gathered together.
The 18 people split into three small groups followed behind Zhao Yu, Xia Yuan and Li Hong Wei.
They were well aware that these two, like themselves, were ordinary people before but became enhancers – one killed three, and the other one.
“Brother Yu, when do we set off?!”
“Let’s rest for a bit first!”
Zhao Yu suggested this as he wanted everyone to recover from the fatigue after such intensive fight.
Everyone agreed, finding places to sit down.
Zhao Yu went up to a Ape Claw Beast’s corpse, clenched his fist, and punched its arm.
Everyone was startled, not understanding why Zhao Yu was venting his frustration on a corpse?!
He punched a few times and was pleasantly surprised to find the beast’s bones unbroken!
Just as he had suspected, the Beast’s bones were harder than human bones.
“Brother Yu, there’s no need for this…”
Li Hong Wei said nervously, just realizing Zhao Yu had such a habit.
Zhao Yu glanced at him and didn’t say anything.
Instead, he pried open the beast’s mouth and yanked out a protruding fang.
With a snap, he pulled the fang out.

Others also felt a chill, finding Zhao Yu’s actions unsettling.
Zhao Yu didn’t explain and holding the sharp fang, began slicing into the Beast’s corpse.
Soon, he carved out a complete arm bone.
“Brother Yu, what are you…”
“Didn’t you notice? The bones of this Ape Claw Beast are perfect for making weapons!”
Compared to hollow metal or wooden table legs, the beast’s bones were indeed more solid.
Xia Yuan quickly asked, “Brother Yu, are their leg bones even harder?”
“You are Right!”
Zhao Yu had an epiphany and hurriedly moved to the lower half of the Beast to start his work.
Other resting students also began to disassemble parts of the beast’s body to make weapons.
“Brother Yu, could you help me to pull out a fang?” Li Hong Wei asked awkwardly..
