Highly Sensitive to the Smell of Blood

"..."

Well, asking was just a waste of time.

If even she didn't know what was going on, Cynthia Sanchez definitely wouldn't either!

But from the current situation, Cynthia Sanchez's hands had perception abilities and cleaning functions, but she didn't have much combat power herself!

It seemed like her awakened ability leaned towards support.

That's fine!

A post-apocalyptic survival team with special abilities couldn't rely solely on combat power!

Having multiple support abilities wasn't a bad thing either.

Thinking this, Bruce Roberts stopped overthinking and put the crystal nucleus into his pocket.

He didn't immediately consume the crystal nucleus.

Because the information clearly stated that it could not only help humans evolve but also restore stamina.

He still had at least fifty percent of his stamina left.

Wouldn't it be better to consume it when stamina was running low?

"Cedric, later I'll throw this out to attract the zombies, then we'll charge straight through!"

Having understood the crystal nucleus and Cynthia Sanchez's abilities, Bruce Roberts didn't consider anything else.

He calmly took off his clothes stained with blood from earlier.

No matter what kind of monster it was, they were highly sensitive to the smell of blood.

Using clothes soaked in blood could divert their attention.

"Okay!" Cedric nodded.

"Are we going to charge straight through?" Cynthia Sanchez was somewhat scared. "What if there's nowhere to hide on the other side?"

Life isn't a game, there's no chance to start over.

In a game, you can aggro monsters recklessly and then run while searching for a safe haven.

If you fail, you can always start over!

But reality is different!

If you fail once, you don't get a second chance.

"It's okay, we don't need a hiding place," Bruce Roberts said calmly.

That's the entrance to the secret realm. We'll directly enter the secret realm, so why would we need a hiding place?Cedric and Cynthia Sanchez were unsure about this, feeling a bit uncertain.

But Bruce Roberts was the core of the team now, and he also had precognitive abilities.

So they could only choose to trust Bruce Roberts!

Under Bruce Roberts' leadership, the three of them started to act recklessly.

Meanwhile, on the 7th floor of the hotel!

Heywood led his team to this floor.

Just below Bruce Roberts' residence.

Looking at the bruises on his face in the mirror, a cold smile crept onto his lips.

"All this trouble over a piece of bread, and it's attracted monsters? Ha, what a bunch of idiots!"

He rubbed the bruises on his face and walked slowly to a chair by the floor-to-ceiling window, lying down!

Looking at the clothing store from afar, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If those two could just die together downstairs!" Heywood muttered to himself as he gazed at the ceiling.

As long as Jamal and Bruce Roberts died together!

Then he would be the boss of this place.

With his management skills, it would be too easy to subdue others and have them support him as the leader.

He glanced at the pretty woman with a child in the room.

Thinking back to the exceptional female teacher he saw in the crowd earlier!

A wicked smile formed on Heywood's lips.

Just as Heywood was daydreaming, there was suddenly a commotion downstairs.

Then, all the monsters around ran in one direction.

When the monsters gathered, three figures silently emerged from another location.

"Huh, why are there only these three people? Where's Jamal?" Heywood, the manager, couldn't help but be puzzled, then he saw a giant sickle mantis and five or six lizardmen chasing after them.

"Heh, are you guys still alive this time?"

Seeing Bruce Roberts and Cedric throwing the 'shield' to attack the monsters, Heywood grinned.

But the next moment, he froze in place.

"What the hell, they... they disappeared?!"

Secret realm!It's a separate space that exists outside the real world.

Due to the angle, not many people can actually see the entrance to this secret realm.

Apart from Bruce Roberts and his group, currently, the only other person who knows about it is Manager Heywood.

But Bruce Roberts doesn't care about that at all.

Because right now, they are the only three people who have entered this secret realm in the entire hotel.

As the three of them ran into the clothing store and reached for the silver vortex, they suddenly felt weightless!

Then everything around them turned pitch black!

"Ah..."

Cynthia Sanchez exclaimed, but Bruce Roberts promptly grabbed her.

Before she could react, the three of them were back on solid ground, their vision restored.

"My goodness... what is this... situation?"

"This is too surreal, isn't it?"

Seeing the sudden change in scenery, both Cynthia Sanchez and Cedric exclaimed in shock.

Even Bruce Roberts couldn't help but marvel at the magic of this secret realm.

It's a sunny canyon.

Mountains on both sides of the canyon stretch endlessly, covered in greenery, with the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

In front of them is a winding mountain road.

Just a hundred meters ahead, it disappears into the mountains.

Behind them is the familiar silver vortex.

In theory, it should be the exit of the secret realm.

"We've actually come to another dimension?"

"This is unbelievable, isn't it?"

"Don't dwell on it, let's just go in!"

Bruce Roberts was prepared for this, so his amazement was only momentary.

With that said, he prepared to lead the way with Andúril sword in hand.

Seeing this, Cedric quickly caught up.

"Young Master Bruce, let me go ahead!"

"It's okay, let's go like this!"

Bruce Roberts didn't want to waste any more time.Although the road ahead was winding, it still appeared relatively spacious at first glance.

The flowers, grass, and trees on both sides of the road all seemed normal, and there were no visible monsters on the path.

In such a situation, it didn't matter who took the lead.

Of course, caution was still necessary.

Seeing Bruce Roberts insist on leading, Cedric didn't say anything.

However, with everyone gripping their weapons tightly, they proceeded cautiously.

Suddenly, a smell of blood and the stench of entrails filled the air.

Just as the group became more alert, a conversation reached their ears.

"Hey, Jesse Thompson, it doesn't make sense for us to keep this stalemate. How about we both take a step back?"

"Fine, you guys lead the monsters away, and I'll go inside to get the treasure!"

"That's not fair!" James sounded exasperated. "We're classmates after all. Why don't you trust anyone?"

"Sorry, I don't trust anyone!" Jesse Thompson sneered. "Either you guys lead the monsters away and I go in to get the treasure, and we split it when I come out, or nobody gets in!"

The brief conversation left Bruce Roberts dumbfounded.

At this moment, he could hardly believe his ears.

"What the hell, James! Jesse Thompson? How did they end up here?" Bruce Roberts led the two deeper into the canyon.

They didn't encounter any dangers along the way.

After several twists and turns in the mountain path, about three hundred meters later, they caught a whiff of the strong smell of blood and entrails.

Then, as they continued further, they heard the conversation just now.

Hearing this conversation left Bruce Roberts feeling perplexed.

Because he could be absolutely certain that only Cynthia Sanchez, Cedric, and himself had entered this secret realm.

How did this Jesse Thompson and James get in?

Bruce Roberts didn't have time to dwell on it and quickly led Cynthia Sanchez and Cedric forward.

Soon, a vast canyon clearing appeared before them.

The clearing was large, equivalent to at least two basketball courts in size.

Although there were many large trees on the mountain across the clearing, the ground was flat and devoid of weeds, with the yellow soil compact and dry.

A series of footprints and some twisted corpses littered the ground, a sight that sent shivers down their spines.

Bruce Roberts casually glanced around.
