The tent does not contain single rooms, but rather four bunks.

Two of them already have items placed in them, while the other two are empty.

Shen Heng glanced at it briefly, then nodded slightly to indicate that he had no problem.

Seeing this, Qin Ye turned his gaze to Han Ling.

This time, there was a genuine hint of apology in his words.

"Inspector Han, I'm sorry, I didn't expect there would be a female inspector coming, so I didn't have time to prepare."

"I just sent Xu Ruiyu to inform them to vacate a tent."

Han Ling didn't respond to that question, but instead asked, "Do you have female soldiers here?"

Qin Ye was taken aback, then nodded and replied, "Yes."

"Then we can just free up a bed in the female soldiers' dormitory," Han Ling said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ye hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Shen Heng.

After receiving confirmation from Shen Heng, he said, "Okay, I understand!"

Just as Qin Ye was about to make the arrangements after speaking, Shen Heng stopped him.

Shen Heng glanced at the two berths with luggage on the sides.

"So two other inspectors from other places have come, right?"

"Yes, they arrived about two hours early and should be somewhere else now," Qin Ye nodded.

"Wait a moment, we'll go over there later and discuss the time when both sides will be responsible for the rest. Then you can notify them to vacate a bed, making sure the time doesn't overlap with Han Ling's sleep time so as not to disturb her rest," Shen Heng said.

"Okay, I understand!" Qin Ye nodded.

After placing their luggage inside the tent, the two followed Qin Ye on a brief tour of the camp, confirming which tent was responsible for which tasks.

Finally, led by Qin Ye, the two arrived at an open space hidden behind a curtain.

On the open ground, two figures were cultivating.

One of them was brandishing a gun, while the other sat still, breathing exercises.

Shen Heng glanced at the man practicing breathing exercises, then turned his gaze to the figure wielding a gun.

Round face, holding a gun...

The next instant, the figure also noticed the three approaching people, and as his gaze shifted, it also settled on Shen Heng.

His eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.

"Shen Heng, what a coincidence!!"

Han Ling glanced at Shen Heng with slight surprise. How come she knew someone here?

Shen Heng's eye twitched involuntarily as he watched the approaching figure.

If he could, he wouldn't want to stay at the same post as the person in front of him.

Lü Wenrui, someone I met during the training camp, and I even teamed up with them once during the final simulation.

Everything else is fine, the biggest problem is his ability.

Fortune is an ability that can bring you good fortune or misfortune.

Shen Heng let out a soft breath and said:

"Strictly speaking, it's not that coincidental. There are so many people in the training camp. Even if only half of them are going to the Erosion Zone, there will still be 3-5 people in each Erosion Zone."

"Moreover, when headquarters was assigning personnel, they prioritized bringing in members from the surrounding areas of the Erosion Zone, so the number might actually be even higher."

"In short, given this context, encountering such situations in Erosion Zone is not unusual."

At this point, Shen Heng paused, looked at Lü Wenrui, and said:

"However, it is indeed a bit of a coincidence that we ended up at the same outpost."

"Hehe, right?!" Lü Wenrui grinned.

As the two were talking, the figure who had been breathing exercises stood up and walked over.

"Tang Yuanyang from Central Sichuan, Fourth Tier, his ability is the B-Class Stasis Needle."

Shen Heng looked at the man and nodded, "Shen Heng from Lingnan, Fourth Tier, with the B-Class ability 'Listening to the Cries of All Living Beings '."

"Huh? You're already at the Fourth Tier, and your abilities have even broken through to B-Class?" Lü Wenrui stared wide-eyed at Shen Heng.

If he remembered correctly, Shen Heng was only at Tier 2 when he left the training camp, and his abilities were only at D-Class. How long has it been?

It's been less than two years since I left the training camp, right?

I'm still at Tier 3, and my opponent has already broken through to Fourth Tier?

"You're too slow." Shen Heng turned to look at Lü Wenrui.

"I..."

Lü Wenrui opened his mouth, intending to say that his cultivation progress was already quite fast, but with Shen Heng ahead of him, he did seem to be a bit slow.

He stubbornly insisted:

"I'll be close too. In another two or three months, I'll be able to break through to Fourth Tier."

"The Origin Crystal from the Calamity Beast killed in the Erosion Zone will be distributed among us. You can use them for cultivation; your cultivation speed should increase significantly," Shen Heng said.

"Hmm? That seems true!"

A hint of joy flashed in Lü Wenrui's eyes, but then he became troubled.

"But Origin Crystal are worth a lot of money outside, wouldn't it be too extravagant to use them for cultivation?"

It's understandable that he thinks that way. Given the current market price of Origin Crystal, a few days of work in the Erosion Zone could potentially earn an average person a lifetime's worth of money, but...

Shen Heng looked at Lü Wenrui expressionlessly.

"In the Erosion Zone, if it takes you two or three months to break through to Fourth Tier with your current abilities, then I feel your chances of survival will be greatly reduced."

These words seemed to startle Lü Wenrui; he trembled and nodded repeatedly.

"That makes sense. In any case, let's break through to the Fourth Tier first!"

Han Ling glanced at Lü Wenrui, then introduced herself:

"Han Ling from Lingnan, Fourth Tier, her ability is A-Class Explosion."

Lü Wenrui blinked.

He glanced at his team captain, then at Shen Heng, and then at Han Ling.

Ultimately, it happened to him.

So I'm the weakest one here?

While pondering, seeing the other three looking at him, Lü Wenrui also introduced himself.

"Lü Wenrui of Central Sichuan, Tier 3, with an A-Class ability in Fortune."

Fortune?... Han Ling looked at Lü Wenrui; it was the first time she had ever seen such an ability.

Seemingly noticing Han Ling's confusion, Lü Wenrui grinned and explained, "It's just that sometimes you get lucky, like when the enemy suddenly cramps up or slips."

Although she already knew that abilities came in all shapes and sizes, Han Ling was still surprised when she actually heard it.

Is this kind of ability even possible?

If I had this ability, would it mean that even if I fired randomly, an enemy would happen to appear in the path of a particular bullet?

Beside him, Lü Wenrui grinned at Han Ling.

What he enjoys most is seeing people's surprised and confused expressions when they see his abilities.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to see a figure watching him.

Lü Wenrui turned his head and saw Shen Heng looking at him calmly.

Oh no, I forgot Shen Heng knows!

Lü Wenrui swallowed hard, turned his gaze to Han Ling, and added:

Of course, there are occasional bad lucks too.

"More misfortune?..." Han Ling glanced at Lü Wenrui, then frowned and pondered for a moment before asking:

"You can control when you'll have good luck and when you'll have bad luck."

"Do you want to gain good luck or bad luck?"
