From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 127 - 111: Move into the New House with Just a Bag, Subduing the Enemy Requires Thunderous Measures
In the hospital.
Lin Zeyu's injury was minor; he had been hit by a stray bullet in the leg. Once the shrapnel was removed and the wound bandaged, he could walk with a limp.
Wang Xiangfeng's injuries were more severe. The car he was driving had flipped over, causing multiple fractures throughout his body. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries, and his robust Superpower User constitution meant that, after surgery, he was no longer in life-threatening condition.
However, the effects of the anesthesia had not yet worn off, and he was unconscious in the hospital room.
Lin's father and Yu Heping had both arrived at the hospital, intending initially to take Lin Zeyu home to recuperate.
But Lin Zeyu didn't listen to them; limping, he went to visit Wang Xiangfeng for a while, left a few people to care for him, and then rushed back to the company to handle the matter of the mole.
On the car.
Lin Zeyu took out a Team Contract and handed it to Lu Heng, saying, "Might as well use it now. Otherwise, if other forces come to snatch it, I won't have enough lives to fend them off."
Lu Heng took the Team Contract and looked at it with some emotion.
The Team Contract was made of a magical semi-transparent material; it was soft and could be folded without leaving any creases.
In his previous life, Lu Heng and Su Muyu were teammates, but they had never obtained a Team Contract and thus had never formally become a team.
These Team Contracts were very rare. At the beginning of the Abyss Descent, one could be bought for 6.5 billion, which was definitely a steal.
The price of this item would only increase over time.

As most Superpower User teams were not fully mature yet.
As mature Superpower User teams became more numerous later on and started searching for contracts, they would realize that the rarity of the Team Contracts could not satisfy the needs of all teams.
Thus, the price of Team Contracts would skyrocket until even wealth could not secure one.
Moreover, Team Contracts were not a one-time deal.
Because a Team Contract could only bear the names of five people; if one member died, the team would be reduced to four members and could not add another.
A four-person team might manage, but if it reduced to three and couldn't add new members, their combat power would be severely insufficient.
Thus, a top-tier team with reduced numbers would need to find another Team Contract to restore it to a five-person team.
In other words, Team Contracts were essentially consumable items.
This led to a very high demand for Team Contracts; major powers that acquired such items would hold on to them and not sell them unless they could exchange them for resources of equivalent value.
Lu Heng took the pen, signed his name on the contract, and then passed it back to Lin Zeyu.
Lin Zeyu grinned with satisfaction, quickly signed his own name, and then passed it to Su Muyu.
Su Muyu had no hesitations; all she hoped for from the contract was to enter the Abyss Battlefield with Lu Heng.
In this life, she was unaware of what happened in her previous life.
Previously, after Lu Heng was teleported to the Death Forbidden Land, she had joined the creator club to follow him, which led to later events because she didn't have a Team Contract.
This time, having obtained a Team Contract in the fifth month of the Abyss Descent, she wouldn't experience the same events as in her previous life.
After Su Muyu signed, she passed it back to Lin Zeyu.
Holding the contract, Lin Zeyu raised it and asked, "Should I keep this?"
"I'll keep it," Lu Heng reached out for it.
They still had two open slots on the Team Contract, and they needed to be very careful about adding new members.
Because the more members in a team, the higher the weight of their combat power rating when summoned to the Abyss Battlefield.
Adding members carelessly could lead to the team being rated highly for combat power but having mediocre actual combat capabilities, resulting in a summons to a high-level Abyss Battlefield without the ability to handle the powerful demons within.
Lu Heng understood the summoning rules of the Abyss Battlefield better, so he decided to keep the contract himself.
Lin Zeyu had no objections; his name was already signed on the contract, and he had successfully joined the team. Securing the contract at auction was his primary goal, and the rest was to serve as a skilled sniper in the team.
Storing the Team Contract in his inventory, Lu Heng coughed and said, "Now that the team is formed, I'll assume the role of temporary team leader for now. It will be more convenient to give you orders from now on."
In the past, although he got along well with Lin Zeyu, there was no substantial connection; asking for favors was based on personal relationships.
Now that they were a team, there was no need to consider so much.
Lin Zeyu nodded and replied, "What needs to be done? Just say the word. The three of us are bound together now, and we'll enter the Abyss Battlefield together, facing life and death as one—no need for formalities."
Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "The Power User who attacked you used a Tachi, and his accent was not that of a Da Xia person. Although there's no direct evidence yet, it's quite clear who our adversary is.
"Since they have already resorted to assassination, their methods have crossed a line, and I am concerned they might threaten us with our families.
"So, tomorrow, I want my parents and Mu Yu's mother to move to Qionghua Tianglu Lake.
"Arrange for the two apartments on the same floor; that building will not be sold to the public and will be used to accommodate close associates of Huan Yu.
"Anyone moving into Qionghua Tianglu Lake can be trusted; be more cautious with everyone else.
"Also, check the security company at Qionghua Tianglu Lake—either buy shares or let Huan Yu take over it directly; you decide."
