Beside him, Andrea leapt up with a flying kick, knocking aside Jiko's massive body.

He quickly crouched down and fished out a small bottle from Morris's embrace.

He swiftly opened the bottle cap, took out a Four-leaf Flower, rubbed it in his palm, and roughly shoved it into Morris's mouth.

"Give me water!"

Andrea shouted, wanting to use water to help the captain swallow.

As long as he consumed the Four-leaf Flower, the captain's constitution should not be in danger.

But where would they find water on them?

Upon hearing his words, Jiko looked bewildered, not knowing where to get water.

"Water's here! Catch!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded, and something was thrown from the side.

Andrea instinctively caught it, glanced down, and discovered it was a dirty bottle.

The bottle was quite large, and inside was a murky, unknown liquid.

He quickly glanced at the person who gave it to him—it was Rumen.

That fellow had somehow run down from a vantage point.

No time to think, Andrea opened the bottle and brought the water to Morris's mouth, pinching his nose to pour it in.

"Gulp, gulp, gulp~"

Morris instinctively drank the water, swallowed hard, and finally managed to swallow the flower.

In the next moment, his entire demeanor brightened.

The injuries on his body began to heal at a visible speed, pulling him back from the brink of death.

"Whew~"

Andrea let out a long breath, sitting on the ground.

"We finally saved him..."

As he said that, he seemed to remember something, rolled up from the ground, and ran behind Jiko, kicking him in the butt.

"Shit! You idiot! You almost killed the Boss!"

The black strongman knew he had been unreliable and looked extremely aggrieved but dared not retaliate.

"Ugh!!"

Beside them, after recovering somewhat, Morris suddenly bent over and vomited onto the ground.

"What's wrong!?"

The others grew tense upon seeing this.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!!"

"Ugh, ugh!"

"Ugh!"

"..."

Morris vomited for quite a while beside them and finally stopped.

He flipped over, lying on the ground in the shape of a large letter, breathing heavily.

After a while, he regained his composure and struggled to stand up.

He first glared fiercely at Jiko, then looked strangely at Rumen, asking:

"Rumen... where did you get that bottle of water? Why does it smell so bad..."

Rumen adjusted his glasses, calmly pointed toward the mutant's hut in the distance, and said:

"I figured you'd need water to help swallow, so after you fell, I went there immediately and fetched some drinking water."

Morris's expression changed upon hearing this.

"Are you saying you got it from that hut? Are, are you sure that's 'drinking water'...?"

A glint flashed across the lenses of the bespectacled man.

"Don't worry, I saw through the scope; the water was fetched from the water tank there, and the mutant drank it too. Granted, I didn't use a ladle, scooped it up with my hand, but it shouldn't be poisonous."

Seeing his earnest expression, Andrea's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"Rumen... you didn't have to say those last sentences..."

After pondering for a moment, the latter nodded in agreement:

"Alright, I won't say it next time."

"But you've already said it!!"

Andrea was speechless with dark lines all over his face.

Morris, with a constipated expression as if he had swallowed a fly, suddenly felt an urge to vomit again.

Jiko secretly celebrated, thinking how Rumen successfully diverted the resentment away from him.

But just as they had caught their breath, a loud explosion suddenly came from beneath the distant sewage treatment plant.

The sound was so loud it shook the ground.

"It's Ashley!"

Morris looked in shock at the direction of the sound.

Ashley, the fifth person in the team, usually spoke little and lacked presence.

Earlier, he was sent by the team to internally block possible reinforcements.

Now such a commotion there must mean he's fighting.

"Quick! Let's go take a look!"

Morris immediately wanted to lead the group to support him.

But Andrea stopped him, urgently saying:

"Boss, your body has just begun to recover. The Four-leaf Flower only saves lives; you're still badly injured! You can't risk it!"

"It's alright! I'm not as fragile as you think. We need to save people now; these mutants' combat power exceeds our expectations. Just Ashley alone might be in danger! We can't leave him!"

"Then... you should head back first! Leave this to us! I'll lead the team; let's regroup at that bar later!"

The group began arguing.

Morris's previous injuries were too frightening, and they were reluctant to let him take further risks.

"Enough chatter! Follow me to save people! It'll be too late if we delay any longer!"

Morris asserted his authority as captain, angrily shouting and rushing straight towards the depths of the sewage plant.

The rest exchanged looks and could only helplessly follow.

It's just Morris's constitution is exceptional, having drunk five Sun Essence Potions, enabling continued combat.

If it were an ordinary person, they would not have survived the first impact from the mutant leader, let alone save anyone.

And so, the Rat Exterminator Team ventured further into the sewage plant.

Since sewage needed to be discharged to the bottom purification pool, Sewage Plant 39 actually extends downward.

Their previous position was actually on the outskirts and hadn't truly entered inside.

This also indicates that the Nekro Gang's strength is much greater than imagined.

The previous batch were merely the mutant's outer sentinels; the real forces are below.

Running downhill for about two hundred meters, they finally saw Ashley on a slope.

Ashley was a lean, tall man with rare white hair, which truly made the Griffin Instructor quite envious.

At the moment, this white-haired bounty hunter stood at a broken staircase, shooting at the lower area with his weapon.

Occasionally, red beams would shoot at him, but the angle posed little threat.

"You guys are here! Come help me!"

Seeing his teammates arrive, he quickly called them over.

"There are so many!"

Morris, leading the group, joined the battle, sniping mutants below from their vantage point, preventing them from coming up.

Nevertheless, the scene before him was still quite shocking.

Because beneath the broken slope were dozens of tall figures constantly charging towards them.

At first glance, their numbers were at least over fifty.

This was also due to Ashley using a significant amount of explosives to destroy the slope, temporarily halting their advance, trapping them below.

"They're too many! We must retreat quickly!"

Jiko shouted loudly while firing his gun.

He earlier saw at the bottom of the slope, another seventy to eighty figures emerged from the building.

Meaning the mutant numbers here were at least over a hundred.

With only their five-member team, they stood no chance.

It had already been difficult dealing with a dozen earlier, let alone a hundred now.
