A group of men with ferocious faces, wielding kitchen knives, rushed towards Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai.

They are human, yet they act like zombies, so impatient.

They were originally simple villagers, but their appetites made them increasingly bloodthirsty and violent.

Purple lightning instantly coiled around Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai.

The villagers stared at the purple lightning, their pupils contracting slightly, and stopped in their tracks.

A blazing flame shot out from Wang the Butcher's hand and slammed into Leng Yebai.

An elderly man with gray hair had lost his kindness and instead had a ferocious expression.

A powerful stream of water burst forth from the old man's hand; his target was Bai Xizhu.

Leng Yebai's face was cold and aloof, and the lightning around him instantly expanded, spreading densely towards the villagers.

"ah!"

"Ah! We were wrong! Stop!"

"We are human beings! We are human beings!"

When eating, they forget they are human, but when they are being beaten, they remember their identity.

The villagers' supernatural abilities had no effect on Leng Yebai, but the lightning emanating from Leng Yebai's body caused the villagers unbearable pain.

Leng Yebai exuded a chilling aura, his cold eyes glancing in the direction of Yangliu Village.

Suddenly, he withdrew the purple lightning.

Butcher Wang glared at Leng Yebai, but despite his regret, he turned and ran.

After Butcher Wang fled, the remaining villagers, realizing the situation, turned and ran.

"Ah, I'm going to eat you!"

The seven- or eight-year-old child had bloodshot eyes and seemed to have lost his mind due to the torment of the virus. He grabbed a kitchen knife and rushed towards Leng Yebai.

He simply couldn't hold back any longer.

Fresh, raw flesh and blood were right in front of me, but I couldn't eat it; it was just too painful.

Others had self-control, but he didn't; he just instinctively lunged at Leng Yebai.

Purple lightning crackled from Leng Yebai's fingertips; if he charged at him, he would die.

In his eyes, there was no distinction between humans and zombies.

He showed no mercy to anyone who acted with malicious intent.

A young man suddenly rushed over, grabbed the seven- or eight-year-old child, carried him on his shoulder, and ran away towards the village.

Bai Xizhu stared blankly in the direction of Yangliu Village for a moment.

Suddenly, a powerful energy burst forth from over there; it must be a high-level zombie.

It's probably at the third level. Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai can handle it, but for these villagers, it's a catastrophe.

They ate many mutated animals carrying the virus, but this only fooled the lower-level zombies. To the higher-level zombies, whose sense of smell was much more sensitive, they were all food.

Leng Yebai didn't say anything, but gently patted Bai Xizhu's shoulder.

Bai Xizhu then let it go.

Those people will eventually turn into hideous zombies and harm even more survivors.

They deserve what they've become!

"Xiao Fan, are you done yet?"

Bai Xizhu shouted at Bai Yifan, who was digging clay at the bottom of the pit.

"alright!"

Bai Yifan carefully climbed up, carrying a large bag half-filled with clay on his shoulder.

After climbing up, the first thing he did was glance in the direction of Yangliu Village. He was relieved to see that he didn't see those crazy people.

He's carrying clay on his back, so it's hard for him to run!

Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai walked ahead, slowly heading towards Baiyang Village.

Bai Yifan followed behind the two.

"Sis, did you hear anything behind us?"

Bai Yifan frowned and glanced back in the direction of Yangliu Village.

I had a feeling that things were chaotic over there. Could it be that our own people were fighting each other?

No, you misheard.

Bai Xizhu said calmly.

"……All right!"

Bai Yifan jogged up to Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai, only then feeling a little safer.

Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai exchanged a glance, looked back at Yangliu Village which was glowing with a faint red light, and then left without looking back.

This can be considered their retribution.

Even if they don't die today, they will eventually become hideous zombies and cause harm to innocent survivors.

Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai said nothing more and walked towards Baiyang Village without looking back.

Zhang didn't bother to dissect the third-order crystal core; he felt it was tainted with human blood, which was too disgusting.

Yangliu Village.

The villagers ran back to their village in terror and flocked to Wang the butcher's house to discuss countermeasures.

Just because we can't win this time doesn't mean we can't win next time.

Their bloodthirsty nature nearly drove them to madness.

Before Butcher Wang could even announce anything, a burst of intense heat suddenly shot out from his house.

"Damn it! Butcher Wang, how come your prey is so ferocious!"

A person whose hair had been burned off was backing away, clutching his charred scalp.

Butcher Wang, holding a cleaver, wanted to rush in and see what was going on.

But then they heard the sound of iron chains scraping against the ground.

This is the ultimate food raised by Butcher Wang.

The so-called ultimate food is actually villagers who have gone mad and out of control after eating mutated animals.

The meat is incredibly delicious.

Even though they knew they would eventually become such monsters themselves, the villagers still couldn't resist the urge to eat the flesh of the mutated animals.

Once you're addicted, it's very difficult to quit.

This "food" was Wang the Butcher's father, who started eating the meat of mutated animals around the same time as Wang the Butcher.

He was originally the person with the strongest superpowers in Yangliu Village. With his help, they might have been able to conquer Baiyang Village. However, he went mad after eating a meal of mutated animal meat.

His face began to fester, making him look like a walking corpse.

Butcher Wang tied him up and kept him in the house, feeding him fresh flesh and blood from time to time.

It means waiting until a certain time has passed before eating.

Wang the butcher had lost his moral compass; he only knew how to satisfy his appetite.

I never expected things to go so wrong today.

Old Man Wang's body was covered in rotting flesh, his iron chains were broken as if they had been cut by a sharp weapon, and he kept spewing out scorching flames from his mouth.

Those people wanted to run, but found themselves unable to move. When they looked at Old Man Wang, they felt boundless fear rising in their hearts.

This is the suppression of lower-level zombies by higher-level zombies.

They were clearly still human, yet they were being suppressed by a powerful pressure, unable to move.

The blazing flames engulfed the entire courtyard until all the villagers were reduced to charred, unrecognizable corpses.

"He's already at level three. Butcher Wang is really stupid."

A gentle male voice rang out.

The gate to the courtyard was opened, and a man and a woman wearing black masks calmly walked into the courtyard.

The zombies that had just been going berserk suddenly fell silent, cowering in a corner in fear, too afraid to look at the couple.

Lower-level zombies have an instinctive fear of higher-level zombies.

But when it saw the humans in front of it, it couldn't help but tremble.

Because it could sense that the two people in front of it possessed incredibly powerful abilities, and were definitely beyond its ability to defeat.
