At this very moment, downstairs in a small villa, five people were seated.
They were ordinary, common, without striking looks or strange clothes, no different from the countless unoriginal NPCs found everywhere in games, and they were the most numerous type of people in this bustling city. If thrown into a crowd, they would probably be swallowed up in an instant, impossible to find.
However, this was a Reincarnation Team, and if they were truly thrown into a crowd, things would get serious.
A person walked from afar, against the flow of people, seemingly a sunny and cheerful young man, approaching with a smile.
But the smile on his lips carried a hint of awkwardness.
Seeing that person approach, the seated individuals all stood up simultaneously. One man, burly and wearing a black T-shirt, stepped forward and asked in a low voice,
"Six, how is it?"
"Brother Jie… I didn't find anything… I didn't find anything at all…"
The man, seeing the burly man emerge, instantly deflated and said with his head down.
"What? It's been a whole morning, and you haven't found anything?"
"No… I haven't seen any of the mission targets! It's summer vacation now, they must all be holed up at home!"
"Useless! You can't even find a few people, didn't you say you were good at reconnaissance?!"
Six was knocked to the ground by Brother Jie's punch. The intense confrontation attracted the attention of passersby, but after a quick glance, they were glared at fiercely by Brother Jie and, not daring to provoke him, quickly left.
Watching the passersby gradually move away, the Reincarnators did not want to attract too much attention. If they accidentally drew the police, it would be difficult to act. Seeing the gradually decreasing number of passersby, the Reincarnation Team was also happy deep down.
"Brother Jie! You're going too far!"
Among the group, a cute short-haired girl rushed out, stepped forward to help Six up, a wave of heartache rising within her.
Brother Jie's brows instantly furrowed. Just as he was about to scold, a sudden clearing of the throat came from behind him. Turning around, he saw a tall woman looking at Brother Jie with dissatisfaction; the clearing of the throat had come from her.
And the other teammates also looked at Brother Jie with dissatisfaction; they all thought he had gone too far.
Finally, Brother Jie, enduring his teammates' displeasure, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and brushed the dust off Six's clothes.
"Six… I'm sorry, my emotions were a bit…"
"No… It's okay, Brother Jie, it's my fault for being new and not understanding the rules!"
Facing Brother Jie's apology, Six was too flustered to respond.
But in reality, Brother Jie was truly sorry. As a captain, he failed to tolerate a small mistake from his teammate. He sighed inwardly, feeling that he was not qualified enough.
"I'm sorry, Six, I lost my temper again… You're a new team member, relatively weaker in strength, and you said you were good at finding people, so I sent you out as a scout… But I didn't consider the possibility of failure. This was my misjudgment as a captain, it's not your fault…" Brother Jie patted Six's shoulder. Being much taller than Six, he genuinely felt ashamed for being unable to control his emotions, but Six felt extreme tension from the broad hand on his shoulder—even though he knew the captain wouldn't do anything to him.
"…Let's go, Six, which direction did you go just now? Let's all go together to look, all of us."
"Mm…"
Six could only agree. Although he knew this world held no danger, his timid nature still made him afraid to act alone.
Several teammates also expressed their agreement. Anyway, they had nothing to do here, so they loosely followed along.
"Six Ge, don't be afraid, this world isn't dangerous at all~"
The youthful and beautiful short-haired girl beside him looped her arm through Six's, her intimate manner inviting speculation.
"I know, I just have a bad feeling… Look, just now this place was bustling with people, and now… there's no one left…"
Hearing this, the Reincarnators realized that there really were no passersby left. This small area was left with only them, which was a bit eerie…
The girl was also stunned, looking around, but still smiled nonchalantly.
"Six Ge, you're overthinking it. This is just a one-star low-level world. At our level, where could…"
Before she finished speaking, everyone heard a sudden violent rumble from behind them, as if something had been heavily slammed against stone. At the same time, a powerful tremor shook the ground, causing a few of them to sway.
Startled, they turned to look, only to see a golden Sword Qi Slash rapidly approaching, accompanied by a white-and-gold Lightning Arrow.
The one who suddenly launched the attack was Fang Wuwei.
He had originally planned to wait for them to disperse and then defeat them one by one, as he had before. However, he discovered that the Reincarnators were preparing to act collectively and were even planning to continue searching for people together. This startled him, as he knew that when he was following Six earlier, that guy had already gotten close to Shichimiya's house. He was afraid that if a group of people went searching together, Shichimiya would be in danger.
Therefore, when he found that the surrounding people had 'voluntarily' left, he, who had been squatting on the rooftop, activated Imposing Might and used Super Power Punch to deliver a perfect ground-kill to the Reincarnator walking at the very back.
Just like Adam Smasher making Rebecca-chan, it was a perfectly executed ground-kill. Imposing Might plus Super Power Punch, along with his now inhuman strength, caused the Reincarnator's head to explode with a single punch. The concrete ground was shattered, forming a large pit, with cracks spreading out from the center like a spiderweb.
After cleanly dispatching one person, he took advantage of the initiative gained from the sneak attack. Before they could react, while Imposing Might still had uses left, he immediately unleashed a Sword Qi Slash and a Lightning Arrow, intending to kill everyone there.
Having experienced that great escape, he was actually a bit overconfident.
However, despite their initial shock, the Reincarnators reacted quickly to the rapidly approaching attacks, scattering to avoid Fang Wuwei's Sword Qi Slash. But the Lightning Arrow was simply too fast, like electricity; can you fight electricity?
Thus, the Lightning Arrow, empowered by Imposing Might, was taken head-on by Captain Brother Jie, who crossed his arms in front of him. After enduring this blow, Captain Brother Jie's hands were scorched, his eyes rolled back, and with only a scream, he promptly fainted, not even clearly seeing the attacker's face.
"Ruifeng! Captain!!"
The scattered group, seeing two members instantly incapacitated, were filled with infinite rage amidst their panic. How dare someone just… just do that to their teammates…
Especially seeing that Ruifeng's avatar in the Main God System had turned gray, anger swept over them. But adrenaline also accelerated their thoughts, and those who saw the situation clearly calmed down.
Captain Brother Jie, whose strength and defense attributes were extremely balanced, was a true frontline tank for the team, yet he collapsed instantly after taking one magic attack from the opponent. This attack power was undeniably terrifying. They had to fight a guerrilla war, find his weakness, and then kill him.
Thus, even with raging hearts, the Reincarnators maintained their rationality, tacitly began to move, and gradually started to surround Fang Wuwei, each of them actively trying to kill him.
Except for Six.
Seeing even the strongest Brother Jie instantly defeated, Six, who had just joined this team, instantly turned pale. He didn't have as strong a bond with these people as they did with each other. Even though the people in this team had been very good to him, even specifically coming to a one-star low-level world to help him adapt to the team, he never expected…
He wanted to turn and run, but he also worried that if his teammates won, he would definitely be ostracized by them, eventually beaten and scolded, or even directly cleaned out of the team…
So, he decided to stay on the sidelines, observe the situation. If they lost, he would run immediately. If they won, he would say that he was too weak and didn't want to drag his teammates down.
Although there was a risk of getting beaten, it was better than losing his life!
