Chapter 162 The Hunting Capital (Part 5)

What can you do in ten seconds?

It seemed like the time would be over after a yawn and then closing your mouth, but Si Yisi seized every minute and led a group of people to the fourth-floor corridor.

"three."

With the countdown down to the last three seconds, Ji Hefeng clenched his fists.

During this time, they can go down from the fourth floor to the third and second floors, but who knows how the distance the mechanical fingers measure is calculated? Straight line or curve?

Si Yisi and the others watched as a figure appeared on the third floor and jumped over the railing.

The short boy fell like a kite with a broken string. He tried his best to protect his head and even bent his legs, but he had no other protective measures. Once he fell completely, death was likely to be his fate.

A faint pity appeared in the eyes of several people. Dying on the battlefield was commonplace for them, but it was really not worth it for a ridiculous order!

"Jump!"

Just then, Si Yisi decisively said something, and before anyone could react, they were forced to jump by the death-defying countdown!

Si Yisi jumped down before them. His hair was blown by the strong wind, and somehow he managed to grab the falling boy!

He held the boy in his arms, glanced sideways at the crowd that had jumped down like dumplings, and smiled slightly.

"one!"

The countdown rang in everyone's ears, accompanied by a biting wind... but in an instant, the wind, which could be described as violent and even represented death, suddenly stopped blowing!

The shadows cast by the buildings on the ground suddenly converged on the spot where Si Yisi and the others had landed. They gathered into the shape of a palm, or perhaps floating seaweed, and eagerly and tenderly pulled the group into their embrace!

As Yin Qiufan disappeared into the shadows, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she murmured, "So that's how it is..."

No wonder Si Yisi was able to detect her presence so easily... His abilities were of the same origin as hers, and were far superior to hers.

But how could he possess such abilities? Isn't he supposed to be the "savior"?

Those ordinary people almost screamed as they jumped; not everyone who survives to the end of the world has the corresponding powerful abilities.

They were just ordinary people who were fortunate enough to survive thanks to the protection of those with superpowers.

But they landed in complete darkness, the terrifying feeling of falling disappeared, and they were enveloped in something like cotton balls.

The two ordinary people suddenly pulled their heads out of the water and immediately saw Si Yisi, who looked calm and collected.

He was holding a child, seemingly suspended in mid-air, while several terrifying bolts of lightning suddenly descended from the sky not far away...

They seemed to be attacking aimlessly, but in places visible to the naked eye, they deliberately bypassed the school building!

But the afterimage left by the lightning seemed to shake a school building in front of them!

Ji Hefeng breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had escaped a disaster. It wasn't hard to imagine that if he had been struck by the lightning prepared by the game developers, he would have been almost certainly dead!

Si Yisi's eyes reflected the afterimages left by the lightning, his expression calm as he pondered which technology was more powerful, that of A-Tu or the new humans.

In conclusion, the result is still the same: the new humans are ultimately forced into this situation. They possess human bodies but lack the curiosity, research ability, etc. that are unique to humans. What controls this body is only the most primitive bloodthirsty desire!

As Si Yisi was thinking this, she touched her cuffs. The obediently coiled-up A-Tu seemed to sense something and hissed in dissatisfaction.

"Let's go." Si Yisi glanced at the group, put the boy in her arms down, and said, "Let's go find the survivors."

Game team.

Mr. Chen smiled with satisfaction, looking at the moving red dots with an expression of confidence.

—Look, they've regained control of all the disharmonious elements!

As she finished speaking, Si Yisi looked at the short boy again: "Come with us."

His tone was decisive, like a command but without any sense of superiority, unexpectedly... it carried a power that made people want to obey him.

The short boy wiped the dust off his face: "Okay."

“I am An Chengshuang—” His expression was indifferent, “If you feel that I have lost my value, you can kill me at any time.”

An Chengshuang tilted her head, then suddenly revealed a childlike expression of joy: "I think you can survive."

His gaze was fixed on Si Yisi!

"Hmm." Si Yisi glanced back at him indifferently.

By this time, Si Yisi's group had gathered five people, and three more had died in the cleanup. Looking around, the lightning strikes had left behind a scene of devastation; areas not indiscriminately struck by lightning became particularly conspicuous, like tempting targets waiting to be claimed by other contestants!

“There are still... ten people left.” Si Yisi was undoubtedly the backbone of this team. He glanced at the people present and said, “We need to actively search for the other surviving participants.”

The ordinary man in the group named Wu Bin trembled and backed away, grabbing a nearby tree and crying out, "No—!"

"You all know those are serial killers, how can you send ordinary people to their deaths?!" Shouldn't they be hiding somewhere to preserve their strength?!

He tried to provoke opposition from the others in the group with his gaze, but after his performance, the people in the group just lazily raised their eyelids and glanced at him, looking completely indifferent!

“I think so.” Si Yisi knew that he should establish his authority first. He raised his hand and grabbed a beam of light. The beam of light grazed Wu Bin’s neck. The chill that went deep into his bones made goosebumps appear on his skin instantly!

"Hiss..." Wu Bin felt a chill on his neck, and when he looked down, he saw that there was a bloody cut on his neck!

"I thought you knew you had no choice now. To die or to come with us, choose one?"

Si Yisi finished speaking slowly and deliberately. He gave off the feeling of a fierce wolf. The calm and composed aura that he had was gone in an instant, replaced by a murderous aura!

I can't resist! I'll die...!

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving!" The moment Wu Bin agreed, the beam of light slashed down again—

Another wound appeared across Wu Bin's neck. Wu Bin was terrified, but then he heard Si Yisi say, "This is punishment."

Although he was speaking to Wu Bin, his gaze secretly slipped into his sleeve. No one knew better than Si Yisi that the second attack on the neck was actually orchestrated by A Tu.

Perhaps he was also dissatisfied with Wu Bin's questioning of Si Yisi?

"Quiet down and be careful." Si Yisi's voice was so low that even the ability users around her couldn't hear it, but the voice was completely within A Tu's perception range.

He flicked his tail in dissatisfaction inside Si Yisi's sleeve, then immediately settled down.

After resolving the discord within the team, Si Yisi immediately determined their next destination.

"Food will become increasingly scarce towards the end, so our goal is to move to a relatively central location."

The food stored in the central location will definitely be plentiful, based on various analyses—the game developers want to herd these sheep into a fixed circle so that they will fight each other for greed and survival!

These people want this, and other participants certainly can too. But the real reason for decentralization isn't simply this influence, but because...

Intuition guided Si Yisi; that place was the key to his escape!

Si Yisi had a lingering question in her mind: didn't the game development team seem a bit too powerful? How did they manage to completely cover the entire city with lightning?

In Qi Anming's memory, even human technology had not reached the point where it could arbitrarily use such wasteful and labor-intensive methods!

How did they manage to fix such a strong acidic gas without any barriers?

Si Yisi had a thought at that moment—they weren't actually in a real city.

Just as those new humans were merely holographic projections, the city they were in was also simply a projection!

This is strikingly similar to the famous "The Truman Show" in a certain small world.

The surviving humans were unknowingly thrown into this "hunting ground." They thought that lightning, strong acid, and other things represented the zombies' overwhelming power, but they never imagined that... this might be a specially created game area!

Si Yisi's sudden pause caught Ji Hefeng's attention, and he stopped to ask, "Did... you think of something?"

Si Yisi looked at him frankly, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Hmm, I've thought of something. If that's really the case... then this will be interesting."

City center.

They came in a large, imposing manner, making no attempt to conceal themselves, which ironically made those lurking in the shadows hesitant to act...

Not to mention the leader, Qi Anming, who is known as the savior, and the equally famous Fire God Ji Hefeng by his side!

Not everyone was too cowardly to make a move. Si Yisi could sense several figures approaching them from not far away!

Counting them... there are six of them, that's quite a big fish!

They thought they were well hidden, but little did they know that shadows manipulated by Si Yisi might be lurking beneath their feet, silently watching them without their knowledge!

The inhuman gaze caused the contestants in the shadows to tremble and feel cold for some reason. They couldn't find any culprit that caused this situation, and from the very beginning, they were under tremendous mental pressure!

The pressure drove them to madness, and in a fit of rage, they recklessly swarmed towards Si Yisi and the others!

"brush!"

Ji Hefeng slashed out with his sword, and the crimson flames spread rapidly with the wind, growing quickly on the oil-filled encirclement that had been set up beforehand!

The contestants who attacked came up in six directions. By the time they realized something was wrong, their shoes were already covered in oil, and the familiar flames were trying to engulf them with unparalleled force!

Finally, someone recognized the familiar flame.

A man, his face darkening, suddenly shouted, "It was you! It was you who set the fire in the mutated forest—!"

“It’s me,” Ji Hefeng said, then added, “So what?” His answer was so nonchalant, yet so hurtful, that some people immediately tried to break through the flames and rush over as if they were looking at an enemy!

A man, tears streaming down his face, attacked Ji Hefeng, shouting, "It was you! You killed him!"

The next moment, the young woman and the others who had attacked broke through the ring of fire, ready to surround and defeat the group, but unexpectedly...

The next second, it felt like their feet were stuck in something sticky, and they couldn't move at all!

Si Yisi walked up to the young woman and said sarcastically, "That fire can't kill people. If someone dies, it means they were hunted down—"

"For example, his closest relatives?"

Si Yisi used a rhetorical question tone, but what came out was a definitive statement! This young woman kept saying they killed that person, yet she herself clearly smelled of fresh blood…

The woman's evasive eyes made everything clear: she was guilty! The one who truly killed her loved ones was herself, the one who launched the sudden attack…

Ha, she just doesn't want to be accused of murder and wants to find a scapegoat!

And Si Yisi and his group, who started the fire, became the best choice to vent their "anger"!

"The savior won't..." Upon seeing Si Yisi, the young woman's first thought was that she wouldn't be killed. Before she could even feel relieved, the world suddenly spun around her, and a sharp pain shot through her—

What? What... what happened to me?

The glint of the dagger flashed before the young woman's eyes, taking with it her life, now stained with filth and blood!

Si Yisi moved close to the young woman's body and plunged the dagger into her heart. When the dagger was pulled out, not a single drop of blood flowed from her chest; the sharp metallic gleam of the dagger sent a chill down one's spine!

"The savior doesn't kill—"

Si Yisi spoke calmly, and this move intimidated everyone in front of him. No one expected that the savior, who was known for his soft heart, would kill someone without saying a word!

Si Yisi then finished speaking the entire sentence.

"He only killed animals that were worse than pigs and dogs."
