It can be clearly seen that although the newlyweds looked surprised, it was just surprise, but there was no joy or joy.

After all, for them, Ling Chen's life and death is not worth caring about.

Of course, these are just the reactions of newcomers.

Dean, who had briefly fought alongside Ling Chen, would definitely not be like this.

Regardless of his personal emotions or the team's need for reliable combat power, he was excited about Ling Chen's return.

"I knew you must have a way to escape..."

Dean showed a clear smile and strode towards Ling Chen.

Before Ling Chen could speak, he had already opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

After that, Ling Chen patted Dean on the shoulder.

He glanced around and saw that among the newcomers, only Lu Shan took a step forward, smiled at him, nodded, and said hello.

As for the others, they only showed surprised expressions when Ling Chen appeared, but after that, they turned their heads indifferently, lacking even symbolic politeness.

Ling Chen smiled indifferently but said nothing.

From the beginning, he did not expect how enthusiastic this group of people would be.

In the dungeon world, the relationship between contractors is mostly indifferent.

On the other hand, Ling Chen himself does not care about the life and death of this group of people, so he naturally does not need their concern.

Because of this, Dean's attitude at this time was quite unexpected.

The expression on his face was very sincere, without any falsehood. He should be sincerely pleased that Ling Chen was alive.

It can be seen from this that Dean is a pretty good person, at least he is not a selfish person and can become a qualified teammate... or even a friend.

Ling Chen smiled and said:

"Speaking of which, if you hadn't used your ability to trip the Destroyer at the last moment, I might not have been able to escape smoothly."

Dean looked at Ling Chen, shook his head and said:

"It's because you gave up entering the safe house that I had the opportunity to use my abilities. After all...I owe you a favor."

Dean paused for a moment after finishing speaking, and then added with unfinished meaning:

“A big favor!”

Although this sentence is short, it has a decisive flavor.

Obviously, Dean was not joking. He believed that Ling Chen's previous actions undoubtedly saved his life, and it was appropriate to owe him a favor.

Ling Chen smiled faintly, shrugged and said:

"It will be endless if we go on. We all owe each other a favor. Anyway, the mission only ends in two days, so we don't have to worry about not having the chance to repay it."

After yesterday's encounter, there was a faint understanding and trust between Ling Chen and Dean.

At least the relationship between the two parties is much better than when the dungeon first started.

It is no longer a forced alliance, from now on, they all regard each other as true comrades-in-arms.

The relationship between people is complicated most of the time. You never know whether a person who is your brother will turn around and stab you with a knife.

However, sometimes it is very simple.

Especially among men, it is easy to form friendship in an inadvertent moment when they work side by side and go through life and death.

Just like Ling Chen and Dean, after fighting together, they developed a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Dean was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and smiled.

He could hear that when Ling Chen spoke, although his tone was flat, it contained a sincere flavor.

Compared with the beginning, there is less intrigue, more sophistication, more friendship between comrades, and true feelings.

Dean's mouth was half-opened, and when he was about to continue speaking, Ling Chen waved his hand and said:

"I know what you want to ask, what method I used to escape, and where is the Destroyer now, right?"

"The method is actually not difficult... You must know that the Destroyer will not invade the territory of the mob. As long as you make good use of this, after escaping into the area, the Destroyer will naturally leave on its own initiative."

Dean frowned and said:

"Thugs? What is that?"

Ling Chen was stunned at first, then he patted his forehead, shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"I almost forgot to explain to you that the so-called thug refers to the electric zombie."

"That's it, thug is its name..."

Dean murmured in a low voice, then pondered for a while before slowly saying:

"Knowing this name means that you have been in contact with it and then used that detection ability to obtain relevant information?"

Ling Chen didn't think about hiding anything. When he was about to explain, he subconsciously reached into his trouser pocket, but found nothing.

Ling Chen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:

"I forgot again, my pack of cigarettes is gone. Do you... have any cigarettes?"

Dean nodded without saying a word, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over with a lighter.

Ling Chen took it and took a long puff of it, then slowly opened his mouth and told what happened after leaving yesterday.

Regarding how to escape from the Destroyer and then defeat the thugs, Ling Chen did not hide these two points and listed them out one by one.

After all, these are not very important information, and it doesn't matter if you tell them.

Of course, Ling Chen would definitely not mention anything that should not be said, and would not say anything that would reveal personal information.

Basically, everyone only knows that he defeated the thugs and obtained a cursed object, but they don't know the process, let alone the properties of the cursed object.

"It's best to wait until we have time to talk about the specific situation. As for the result, after I escaped from the Destroyer's hands... I defeated the thugs and obtained a cursed item."

After hearing this explanation, Dean fell silent, carefully chewing on the meaning of Ling Chen's words.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel moved and amazed by Ling Chen's performance!

He asked himself, if he encountered the same situation, it would be very difficult to escape in that extremely dangerous environment, let alone kill the thugs?

All the newcomers on the side also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Although they lack experience, they are not stupid.

Ling Chen thought up an escape plan in an instant, and then not only implemented it, but even got the loot in the end...

Everyone knows very well how difficult it is behind this series of actions.

This can no longer be achieved by relying on powerful spells, but more... by relying on Ling Chen's natural layout ability.

He knows how to seize fleeting opportunities, maximize his own strengths, and achieve goals that are beyond the reach of capable people.

At this time, after Ling Chen's explanation, everyone finally had a certain understanding of his experience last night.

Before anyone else could respond, Ling Chen clapped his hands first and said slowly:

"It's daybreak now, let's go."

He took the last puff of the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped out the fire.

"This is the territory of the Destroyer. Although it has left temporarily, I don't know if it will come back suddenly. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Everyone nodded after hearing this. They had already rested in the safe house for the night, and all the preparations they should make were done in the morning. There was no need to stay any longer.

As for what happens next, it's a bit lackluster.

They each carried their bags, and then left the mall while watching their surroundings.

Fortunately, until everyone left the mall, they no longer heard the sound of the Destroyer destroying everything while walking.
