Chapter 127 Madness and Chaos
The man lowered the brim of his hat. "I am a member of the Rebel Alliance."
"The Resistance League?"
They had never heard of this alliance.
The man nodded and said, "This alliance has existed for a year, but the situation was not good at that time, so there was no action. Now we have found weapons to deal with ghosts. These peach wood products are for you. You can use them to protect yourselves or to save people. It's all up to you how you use them."
Lin Lan gripped the wooden sword and thanked her, saying, "Thank you. I'm really grateful that you're willing to help in this situation."
The world is under the control of ghosts. They remember the peach wood incident; a year ago, the authorities issued a notice to cut down all the wood they saw. These wooden swords must be very rare.
The man straightened his coat. "No need. The alliance was already planning a counterattack, and we hope you can join the resistance someday."
Suddenly, the light wooden sword in his hand felt heavy.
Lin Lan gripped the wooden sword tightly. "Our world has become like this, so resistance is inevitable. May I ask if you can join the alliance now? I want to contribute."
She spoke through gritted teeth. Yesterday, she received a phone call from home saying that her younger brother had been chosen as a sacrifice. Her brother was terrified. She held the phone but couldn't say anything, because at that moment, any words would be pale and powerless.
Now that she has a wooden sword, she will protect her family!
The man paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Anytime is fine."
"I'm joining in too."
"Me too!"
More and more people are raising their hands to join.
With a thousand people sacrificed, who can guarantee that one of them won't be a relative? Or what about the next sacrifice? If they weren't chosen this time, what about next time?
Looking at the students with anger in their eyes, the man nodded with satisfaction. "Let's go. The alliance is launching its first counterattack today. I'm about to join them. Those of you who want to join can get on the bus."
He can drive buses, and when the alliance is in a stronghold, many members need to use these vehicles to pick up and drop off their companions.
Once again, they boarded the bus, but this time, their hearts were filled not with fear and confusion, but with a burning desire for revenge.
In this counterattack, the alliance set up locations in every district.
The Ghost Realm intentionally controls the number of ghosts. The number of ghosts outside the hunting area has increased by several hundred compared to before, but it is still within the control of the Ghost Lords.
In the past two days, some people have received phone calls saying that they or their relatives have been chosen as human sacrifices. People can no longer suppress their emotions and continue to remain silent, knowing that the scythe of human sacrifice will one day cut into everyone.
Seeing this situation, the alliance sent its members to distribute peach wood weapons everywhere, uniting the people to fight against it.
The man simply hopped on the bus, never expecting to encounter a second-tier demon eyeing it.
The will to resist spread like wildfire, reaching even more distant places.

Rong Yi tried to continue drawing talismans but found herself extremely tired. Wei Yanqing took her to a place to rest, telling her not to rush into dealing with the ghost horde.
"It seems my limit for a day is five talismans now." Rong Yi lay on the recliner.
They found an empty building, and Wei Yanqing prepared dinner nearby; it was already dark outside.
"Let's take a rest first; we're not made of iron."
They had walked a long way around the edge of the hunting area without encountering anything unusual, and the two of them did not try to go out, so as not to alert the Ghost Lord guarding the area. They did not want to encounter such an opponent at the moment.
The giant squid caught in the last world was shredded and cooked with rice. Fresh vegetables were stir-fried, and the cooked rice was poured in and stirred together. The unique freshness of the seafood and the freshness of the vegetables blended together. Rong Yi silently pursed his lips, wanting to eat!
On the other side, lamb chops covered in seasoning are being grilled.
To be honest, the early stages of the Civilization Recreated instance made her nauseous, but the seafood later on really made her drool. It's a pity she could only stay for a year, otherwise she would have caught even more seafood.
Fortunately, Wei Yanqing had enough stored up.
As he took a bite of the rice brimming with ingredients, Rong Yi squinted his eyes in blissful enjoyment. "So delicious. It's a pity there are only ghosts in this world, otherwise I could add some more ingredients."
"Ghosts are also quite good; at least their souls are very beneficial to me, and they are also rare."
After swallowing the food, Rong Yi said, "Then I'll be more diligent later so you can absorb more. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know if we'll ever encounter this kind of supplement again."
Wei Yanqing stirred the rice in his bowl with a spoon. "There's no need to be so diligent. I can only absorb so much each day."
That's all I can do for today.
After finishing dinner, they prepared to rest early and get up early the next day.
Rong Yi: "I'm resting on the recliner. It's quite comfortable to sleep in here."
"OK."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cacophony of voices arose outside.
Helpless, Rong Yi lifted the blanket and went out with Wei Yanqing to see what was going on.
A group of people appeared out of nowhere, holding up their phones as lights, and swarmed toward the edge of the hunting area, seemingly wanting to get out.
"They're trying to escape, aren't they?" Rong Yi guessed.
After all, there seemed to be quite a few ghosts in the hunting area, but she remembered that each ghost group had completely surrounded the territory they had set their sights on.
I can't sleep anymore. Although I can't be the bodyguard for the indigenous people, I can't just watch them die.
Once they emerged, the crowd would reach a point not far ahead of them, where they would pass through this area to continue forward.
Since it was already dark, those people did not see them.
Before they could even open their mouths, lights suddenly came on outside the hunting area, illuminating the area as well.
"The Rebel Alliance is here! Let's follow!" someone shouted.
Upon hearing the familiar name of the alliance, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing decided to remain still and observe the situation.
As the lights came on, the sound of cars could be heard, as if quite a few cars were driving this way.
Soon the first bus came into view, then the second, the third...
Upon seeing the crowd over there, the convoy stopped, and many people got out of the vehicles.
There are waves of people, many of whom are native inhabitants, as well as many players.
They were in high spirits and called out to each other as they walked over.
"Here I come."
"We're here!"
People in the hunting area raised their hands and shouted.
The crowd opposite them started jogging. Rong Yi was a little worried and glanced around, wondering if the Ghost Lord had noticed what was happening.
When people were about ten meters away from them, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and the dust and sand blinded them, causing both sides to stop what they were doing and raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses.
A cloud of black mist formed a humanoid figure over three meters tall, shouting, "Hunting area, do not approach! We warned you!"
The voice was deep and resonant; it belonged to the ghost lord guarding this area.
The scene was quiet for a moment, then someone raised their hand, "Let's attack together! Kill these ghosts!"
This single act caused a huge uproar. The crowd outside, each wielding a small peach wood sword, roared as they charged toward the Ghost Lord.
"You're courting death." The Ghost Lord sneered, raising his arm to summon the ghost horde from the hunting grounds.
A player picked up a gun and started firing at the Ghost Lord. The bullets hit the Ghost Lord like pebbles hitting the airbag, the dented parts bounced back, and the bullets were also bounced away.
