Chapter 167 The Hunting Capital (Part 10)

"You think of one," Si Yisi's eyes clearly conveyed this meaning.

Si Yisi and Ji Hefeng did not deliberately hide their conversation. An Chengshuang and others would become core members of the team sooner or later, so it was necessary to let them know. This was also a process of gradually building trust.

The youngest member, An Chengshuang, chimed in, "Hunting for Light... how about it? Hunting for Light."

When he said this, his eyes seemed to be filled with genuine light.

"Hunting Light?" Ji Hefeng smiled slightly, turning his head to look at Si Yisi. "This is not bad."

"Then let's go with Hunting Light." Si Yisi compared the two names. The name he chose was indeed slightly inferior, firstly because it was too long and a bit awkward to pronounce, and secondly because it was too...official?

People seem to prefer powerful, cool, and catchy names over very formal ones.

"Then," Si Yisi sincerely invited An Chengshuang and Yin Qiufan, "would you like to join Hunting Light?"

"People need an order to guide them onto the right path, and we will become that order."

He was completely unambiguous, and his words exuded confidence.

—Si Yisi wants to restore order and restraint to humanity, and they are this new order.

This is truly an invitation that is... impossible to refuse.

A hint of helplessness crossed Yin Qiu's brows, but she quickly put on a smile: "Thank you for your invitation, sir?"

She used honorifics, which made it all too clear that she had accepted the invitation.

An Cheng Shuang deftly manipulated a camera, "bent over," and quickly added, "Yes, sir."

The conversation, invitations, and statements all took place within a short two minutes. Outsiders might have thought the atmosphere was a bit strange, but they were unaware that within that brief time, a new human organization dedicated to maintaining order was being established in just a few words.

No one knows that this scene, which only the high-ranking members of the Hunting Light organization personally experienced, has left later generations puzzled about the establishment of the Hunting Light organization.

Why did Qi Anming establish the Hunting Light Organization?

How did he persuade those future big shots?

This became an alluring mystery in later generations, attracting countless archaeologists to explore and excavate, analyzing from various perspectives the mindset and thoughts of the high-ranking members of the Hunting Light Organization at that time...

What later generations did not know was that some people were born with light, which drove those who "hunted the light" to follow them.

This seems to be an instinctive reaction of people who have survived the apocalypse—because they have seen darkness, they want to hunt for light.

An organization is not easy to build; it requires a more robust system to restrain negative emotions such as greed and violence inherent in human nature.

These tedious tasks are far simpler than coming up with an organization's name.

Ji Hefeng watched as Yin Qiufan stepped forward to comfort the surviving humans, then silently turned to Si Yisi to discuss the next steps for the organization's operation.

"Without suitable publicity channels, we have no way to spread the word about the existence of Hunting Light."

Not everyone can receive the signals sent. For example, An Chengshuang's main target for invading the network this time was the contestants in the eight hunting grounds.

"Why isn't there?" Si Yisi raised her hand, gesturing for Ji Hefeng to look at what was beside her.

There were a large number of zombie bodies there.

They "died" cleanly, with the craniotomy wounds only the size of a sword tip, and the places attacked were all near the crystal core.

Like the nuclei of sparkling gems exposed to the air.

Si Yisi beckoned, and light, as obedient as a tamed dog, pierced the zombie's wound.

The light clings to these tiny crystal nuclei, as if they are coated with a layer of shimmering light and golden shadow, making them look as delicious as candy.

The light weaves a fine net, which guides the "threads" to stitch up the wound until it is no longer visible to the naked eye.

To Ji Hefeng's astonishment, these "dead" zombies actually stood up unsteadily from the nutrient pool!

"ah!"

Someone let out a surprised and frightened cry, took a step back, and landed hard on their backside.

The people, who had initially been calmed down, began to scatter and flee!

Yin Qiu frowned for a moment, then suddenly said, "It's alright! There's no danger!"

"You say there's no danger, so there's no danger...? Are you going to use us as zombie feed...?" one person muttered in protest, about to run away, but what happened next almost made his eyes pop out of his head.

The zombies, which had already died, did not show any tendency to attack humans after they got up. They slowly moved their bodies and gradually formed a neat square formation.

Their gazes were drawn to the very front of the formation, and standing before the perfectly aligned ranks was... Si Yisi!

Ji Hefeng was also momentarily taken aback by the large-scale operation, his muscles tense as if ready to retreat at any moment, but then he realized that it was Si Yisi who had done it.

Trusting Si Yisi, he immediately chose to believe her and quickly reassured the people nearby.

Si Yisi's gaze swept over the faint glimmer of light appearing on the zombies' wounds, and she smiled at Ji Hefeng:

"Look, isn't this a ready-made publicity channel?"

"I spread the word about Hunting Light through job postings, and the messengers are these zombies that I control," Si Yisi said. "Humans can hardly move an inch in a world overrun by zombies, but they don't bother to guard against their own kind!"

He actually wanted zombies to help Karihiro hand out flyers!

But I have to say, it's a really good idea!

After confirming that the zombies would not harm them, the man who had previously whispered his rebuke to Yin Qiufan shamelessly praised Si Yisi.

"You are the undisputed savior, but I wonder... can you destroy them all at once?"

The man asked tentatively, unable to hide the twisted expression on his face that was a mixture of fear, apprehension, and ingratiation.

To eliminate them all?

Si Yisi raised an eyebrow—look, we just saved him, and this guy is already taking advantage of us.

He hoped that Si Yisi could kill the zombies single-handedly, so that he wouldn't have to live in fear. This was also the reason he placed Si Yisi in such a high position and praised him so highly.

"No." Si Yisi rejected the man's plan.

He offered no explanation, but was simply pondering a question—how could Hunting Light, which hadn't even fully developed yet, already have such momentum, being hailed as a savior and expected to eliminate the enemy zombies…

Then, when he's no longer of any value, should we just throw him away?

Si Yisi will absolutely not allow such moral blackmail to happen to her!

Si Yisi needs to establish his authority and make people realize that he is not someone to be bullied, and that the so-called savior title is just something imposed on him by others.

A savior can save himself and others within a limited scope... but that doesn't mean that this should become a responsibility that Si Yisi must bear!

Si Yisi led a group of zombies forward in unison, bumping into the rescued people face to face.

People inevitably showed unpleasant expressions, which was the first step Si Yisi had to take—to establish a small reputation.

He ignored everyone else, and the zombies controlled by Si Yisi dispersed in twos and threes, gradually leaving the area and heading towards the bustling city occupied by zombies.

[New Human City], such an arrogant sign hangs at the entrance of a nearby city. Zombies swagger around the city, while humans can only be rats in the gutter for the time being.

"Hello!"

A zombie city management officer called out to a zombie who was not very agile. For some reason, a golden light flashed and disappeared in the zombie city management officer's field of vision, which made him very irritated.

"What are you holding in your hand?! Adults don't allow these things to be posted in the city!"

But the zombie still ignored it and pasted an advertisement on the wall, which angered the zombie city management officer. His eyes were bloodshot, and he slapped the zombie on the head!

He didn't use much force... but the zombie was knocked down, and a small hole suddenly appeared in its skull, from which a candy-like crystal core rolled out!

"Clatter".

Black blood splattered on the ground.

The zombie city management officer was stunned. Just then, he saw several of his colleagues walking towards him.

"Stop! Don't move!" Several arms forcefully grabbed the zombie city management officer and dragged him outside. "Harming your own kind...come with us!"

The zombie city management officer growled, revealing a bloodthirsty look, but how could one arm possibly stand up to its own kind of equal strength?

He struggled as he was forcibly dragged away and taken for processing.

A tiny speck of light, like a mischievous child, hid on the advertisement, occasionally shifting its position as if trying to claim credit from Si Yisi in the distance.

Si Yisi hadn't thought about this yet; he only felt a tiny bit of excitement—Qi Anming's ability to autonomously respond to external situations had ironically caused trouble for the zombies!

Furthermore, his abilities are interconnected; once he masters one ability, the others will follow suit.

This effectively prevented the manipulation of the zombies from being exposed for a short time, and unknowingly caused chaos in the various zombie cities that the manipulated zombies went to.

A girl with her face covered in black and gray stuff crawled out of the sewer. She carefully gathered the light in her palm and then tore off the advertisement.

The advertisement depicts light and darkness dividing the world into two halves, with a human army carrying various weapons, their gazes resolute as they march towards the light.

There was also a bow and arrow made of light, ready to be released—its arrow was aimed directly at those hideous zombies!

The two large characters "Hunting Light" run across the entire picture, bold yet beautiful. Filled with gold and bordered with black, the two contrasting colors are combined without any sense of contradiction or conflict.

It's as if they were originally one, with darkness and light coexisting!

It's hard not to be drawn to and shocked by this advertisement—humanity is walking in the abyss with no one to rely on, yet humanity has never given up hope of returning to the light!

Such metaphors are hard not to be moved by.

“Hunting Light…” the girl repeated the name of the human organization in her childish voice.

"The pledge of allegiance..." she read aloud once more.

The small cluster of light stayed obediently in the girl's palm, but at this moment it seemed to have become a shrunken arrow of light, about to pierce the chests of the new humans!

Tear away their hypocritical facade and reclaim humanity's homeland!
