17 The Building

Lu Ren opened his eyes and looked at the door which had been blocked by furniture.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"What's going on? Why can't I push it open?!"

"There's something blocking it inside. Let's go somewhere else!"

"No, we can't change places. This room in the middle is relatively intact. If the layout is the same as the floorplan displayed in the hall, it will be most suitable for us. If anything goes wrong, we can still escape through the other exit!"

Lu Ren raised his eyebrows slightly. The person who had said this was a woman. Her voice was very calm, calmer than most of the six voices. Most of the others were terrified, but only this woman's voice was calm.

As for opening the door, Lu Ren's gaze shifted to the sliding window beside him. Then, he closed his eyes and lay down.

This place was not his. If they could find a way to get in, Lu Ren would not stop them. This place was not his home.

"There's a window there. Let's go in and take a look."

"Alright, I'll go in and take a look!"

A slightly delicate male voice could be heard.

With a sound, the window was pulled open and a head popped in. A pair of eyes were staring at Lu Ren.

"Damn, there's someone!"

"Huh?"

The few people behind were in a commotion for a while as they spoke simultaneously.

"Is it really a person inside?"

"Could it be a monster?"

"Then why didn't he open the door for us?"

After confirming that Lu Ren had not made any move, the boy who looked like a high school student revealed an embarrassed smile. He quickly climbed in and turned to look at the door.

"It's blocked by the furniture inside."

The boy shouted, and then he turned to ask Lu Ren, "Big Brother, can I let them in and then use the furniture to block the door again?"

Seeing that Lu Ren did not answer, the boy quickly and laboriously grabbed the two pieces of furniture and shouted, "Quick, bring two more people to move them."

The few of them outside the door responded, and two men came through the window. They glared at Lu Ren a few times before rushing over to help.

Regarding this, Lu Ren continued to lie on the sofa with an expressionless response. Was this a mental condemnation of his indifferent behavior?

After the remaining three had entered, they picked up the furniture again and sealed the door tightly.

Lu Ren saw this but did not do anything.

There were four guys and two women. Two of them looked like high school students, and one was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He had a dignified expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was of high status. Furthermore, his clothes were of high quality. He should be an executive of some enterprise.

Beside him was a man in his thirties in a work uniform. As for the other two women, one looked to be in her thirties or forties. She had high cheekbones and narrow eyes, but she was not bad-looking overall. However, she seemed to give people a mean and sarcastic look.

The other woman was in her mid-twenties. She had exquisite makeup on and was dressed professionally. Her high heels had become flat. It was obvious that she had knocked her heels off when she was running.

Quite a nice way.

None of them looked stupid.

Lu Ren was sizing them up, and so were they.

During this period of time, it could be said that he had neglected sleep and food to train, which had made his body strong. The muscle mass of his body seemed to be quite bulky under the digitalized enhancement of the System. Although he was not as strong as Zhang Kui, he was still very strong.

With the instant feedback from the System, every time he trained, he would see the increase in his attributes and it would immediately be reflected on his body. The continuous increase in his strength was simply more satisfying than the relationship between a man and a woman.

At this moment, these people saw the muscular Lu Ren, especially the sharp iron piece in his hand, which looked rather dangerous.

Then, the middle-aged man walked angrily to Lu Ren's side.

"Why did you ignore us after hearing our voices?!"

Seeing that Lu Ren was silent, a hint of mockery appeared on the man's face. "A selfish person like you definitely won't survive here. I definitely won't let you join my team…"

It had to be said that humans were really adaptable. In just a few hours, they had begun to change their thinking and seek survival. Moreover, they had preconceived notions the moment they entered, wanting to take this place of refuge for themselves and eliminate all dangerous factors.

Seeing that the man was about to approach again aggressively, Lu Ren raised the iron piece in his hand and said calmly, "Take another step forward and I'll kill you."

Looking at the sharp iron piece less than 20 centimeters away from his neck, the man's expression froze. He was shocked and furious. He turned around and said, "How dare you do this? Everyone who has come to this place should team up together to survive this crisis…"

[Ding… The other party is resentful. He has remembered you forever and buried you deep in his heart.]

Lu Ren stood up. His nearly 1.8-meter height and powerful figure made him rather intimidating, causing the middle-aged man to have no choice but to shut his mouth.

He said indifferently, "Someone like you might be able to fight and scheme in a peaceful world and climb to a high position, but here, one's strength is everything."

He advanced the iron piece in his hand forward, scaring the man so much that he took a few steps back before he could stabilize his body. Seeing Lu Ren's expressionless and cold appearance, the man wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only glare at Lu Ren and retreat.

It was as if he felt that his dignity in this team had been damaged, causing his reputation to decrease significantly. The two high school students seemed to think that Lu Ren was very cool.

The white-collar woman looked at Lu Ren and finally said softly, "If you're hungry, we have food here."

"Li Shu, why are you giving such a person food? We don't have much food to begin with!"

The middle-aged man was rather displeased.

Li Shu turned around and said, "I'm sorry, this food is mine. As for how to distribute it, that's my business."

"You…"

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing. We're all in the same boat, it won't be good if there's internal strife!"

The man in the work uniform quickly tried to persuade him otherwise.

The middle-aged man snorted and did not say anything else. It was obvious that Lu Ren's sudden appearance had threatened him.

Seeing that Lu Ren did not respond and was still looking at them coldly and maintaining a certain distance, Li Shu shook her head slightly and did not say anything else.

"I think that guy is definitely determined to die. Let's stay away. If he drags us down…"

The mean woman could not help but interject.

Seeing that everyone had found a place to rest fifteen meters away from him, Lu Ren slowly sat down.

Ever since his previous experience in the mystic realm replica, he had been extremely wary of those who entered the mystic realm.

At that time, although Zhang Qingya was a b*tch, she was not bad in her heart. She was just fighting for her own benefits.

Wang Gang was also quite forthright and did not care about trifles.

As a rich second-generation, Luo Zixuan spent money lavishly. Although he was arrogant, he was very generous.

However, in a desperate situation where there was no food, the distortion of human nature would become extremely terrifying, not to mention what they had done before they touched the altar.

Perhaps a high school student could transform into a demon and do something terrifying.

Lu Ren maintained his even breathing to conserve his strength.
