Chapter 171 The Hunting Capital (Part Fourteen)

Those who have experienced the apocalypse should avoid those claws like the plague, but Si Yisi is an exception.

Wen Yangyu was even more excited than him. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and several short vines emerged from the soil, trying to restrain Si Yisi's steps from behind!

But to his and the King-level zombie "Meiyu's" surprise, Si Yisi just stood there, without making any attempt to move!

Sharp nails were almost in front of him, nearly slicing through Si Yisi's cheek, when finally he moved—

He even slightly averted his gaze to look down at the vines wrapped around his ankles, and the next second...

Si Yisi's figure shifted slightly, and her fingernails stabbed straight at Wen Yangyu, who was rushing towards her!

"Hiss!" Wen Yangyu hissed in surprise. A long scratch appeared on his face. He turned his head in disbelief and saw Si Yisi, whose eyes were expressionless.

The toxins of a King-level zombie are far superior to those of ordinary zombies. Within seconds, Wen Yangyu's cuts turned black, and he began to let out meaningless roars. His face was frozen in a venomous expression!

Just before Wen Yangyu completely transformed into a zombie, he saw Si Yisi's dark eyes.

The last thing "Ren" heard in his life was: "Since you like zombies so much, why don't you go and experience what it's like to be a zombie?"

Wen Yangyu's consciousness completely vanished. He didn't have the luck to become an evolved zombie with his own consciousness; he was just an ordinary zombie controlled only by instinct.

He let out a long roar, his mouth watering with the urge to eat!

"Really ugly," Si Yisi said softly.

The zombie Wen Yangyu had transformed into suddenly raised his arm and activated his supernatural ability, but several small sprouts immediately emerged from the soil! This anomaly caused the zombie to pause in bewilderment, like a comical clown meant only for amusement, before it couldn't resist aiming at its prey—

He lunged at the King-level zombie, Mei Yu!

"Click".

Mei Yu impatiently snapped the neck of the transformed Wen Yangyu zombie and threw him into a nearby trash can.

Undeterred by her failed attack, the King-level zombie changed her tone from gentle to arrogant, unleashing her undisguised aura as a King-level zombie.

The pressure was so great that most of the people present were almost fainting!

Ji Hefeng, Yin Qiufan, and the others tacitly used their supernatural abilities to cover up the oppressive aura of the King-level zombies with these fluctuations, and quickly and quietly organized the Hunters of Light to leave this place that could become a battlefield.

Most of the Hunters of Light simply do not have the ability to face a King-level zombie directly; they don't even have the right to watch!

They didn't even spare the prisoners from the protection association. Want to court death? Don't even think about it. After aiding and abetting evil, they think they can just die? Not so easy!

"So what if we're zombies?" Mei Yu said lazily. "Sometimes we zombies are much simpler than you cunning humans."

She looked at Si Yisi, her eyes, so black they had almost no whites, revealing undisguised malice.

"Do you think everything I'm saying is a lie? Your high position among humans will inevitably cause them to resent you, feeling that you are blocking their way. The title of savior will make humans feel that it is your duty to protect them, and you will unconditionally satisfy their demands, but they will not be grateful for it."

“Then,” Mei Yu raised her hand and glanced at it, “they will blame you for the death, believing that you are the one who caused all the mistakes. And then… we can watch the hero fall.”

She licked her lips: "Do those fragile humans deserve the presence of someone as powerful as you? You stand on the same level as us, at the same height. We are your companions!"

Ji Hefeng, who remained behind, had a slightly dark look in his eyes, and even those from the Hunting Light group who hadn't left couldn't help but stop and look.

Some of the hunters clenched their fists, but none dared to make a move under the watchful eye of the King-level zombie. They could even feel their hearts swaying precariously under the zombie's questioning, like flickering candles in the wind.

They were actually thinking along the lines of the King-level zombie: Would we really do the things she said we were talking about?

Therefore, they waver.

Their primary motivation for joining the organization was safety and basic necessities; being captivated by the leader's charisma was secondary.

Some of the people who are loyal to the Light of Hunting can be sure of their own loyalty, but there is an uncertain clamor from the depths of their hearts—you will not betray, but what about the others? Will they betray the Light of Hunting for their own benefit without a single thought of gratitude?

With just a few words, the morale of the Karimitsu army was shaken!

Si Yisi's eyes flickered slightly. He focused more on the people from Shouguang than on Meiyu.

Too weak...

This weakness refers not to physical strength, but to mental weakness.

Since the end times, people have learned to endure hardship, but many have also lived under the protection of armies formed by nations and governments for a long time. Even now that the armies have been largely dispersed, it hasn't changed these people's ingrained ways of thinking.

They've been raised too well, not only in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of willpower, which needs to be honed!

"So, do you want to come with us?" Mei Yu tilted her head, a sincere smile on her lips.

She is slender yet possesses an air of elegance, and even her smile is unrestrained and carefree, captivating all who see her.

It can both humble itself and use words to deceive its opponents, and possesses the aura of a king-level zombie that distinguishes it from ordinary zombies—

Such an enemy... is terrifying!

“No,” Si Yisi said calmly, “before this, you were an enemy of humanity.”

This is not a meeting room for friendly exchanges, but an unstoppable struggle between two races! A King-level zombie is a King-level zombie. No matter how outstanding her temperament or how charming she is, Si Yisi saw through Mei Yu's true nature.

She is a zombie, and everything she is showing right now is a disguise. Her purpose is to tear apart and devour humans!

Mei Yu's disguise was too convincing, but she did not expect that Si Yisi would not waver in the slightest, and that he would see through her true nature from the first moment he saw her.

“You’re very human,” Si Yisi said slowly as she walked towards Mei Yu, “but you—are not human enough!”

Before he finished speaking, a sharp blade of light had already materialized in his hand. In the instant Si Yisi's expression changed, Mei Yu's retracted claw transformed back into its ferocious form.

The facade of a gentle woman was torn away, revealing a monster to the hunters! The humanoid aura of the King-level zombie Meiyu was completely stripped away, replaced by a pair of terrifying red eyes overflowing with bloodlust and murderous intent!

Mei Yu intended to persuade Si Yisi, and for this purpose disguised herself as the most human-like form—she was an extremely intelligent type of zombie, but in essence, she was making a "clumsy" imitation.

Now that her persuasion has failed, her first instinct is naturally to revert to her original appearance...

She devoured the flesh and blood of the "savior" before her; with his flesh and blood, she would surely be able to advance to the next level!

"We've been discovered..."

Mei Yu gave a ferocious smile. She looked at the weapon that Si Yisi had conjured in his hand. Instead of panicking, she stood still and obediently took the blow!

The light pierced through Mei Yu's body, black blood splattering everywhere, but Mei Yu was laughing... a flamboyant, twisted laugh, like a vengeful ghost coming from somewhere to claim a life.

The next moment, everyone present knew why she was laughing—Mei Yu's figure suddenly disintegrated, followed by dark clouds covering the sky...

No, what completely obscured the night sky was not dark clouds, but a huge black barrier that not only blocked out the night sky, but also swallowed up all the light!

There was no light where the members of the Hunting Light group stood; it was as if all light had been swallowed up by the barrier.

They heard the voice of the rain, as if echoing all around them: "Savior... uses light as a weapon, but what if there is no light?"

Her voice had long since become hoarse, the metallic scent of blood flowing from her throat, carrying a hint of contempt.

Everyone heard Mei Yu's voice, but they couldn't even see their own fingers clearly, so how could they possibly know where Mei Yu was?

All I know is that she seems to have become a god who controls everything, and her presence can be found everywhere.

Mei Yu's words sent a chill down the spines of the people from Shouguang, and they instinctively looked towards the spot where Si Yisi had just been standing.

The complete darkness, so intense that not a finger could be seen in front of one's face, intensified the sense of dread—yes, the organization's leader's power was light, but now they were in…

A place where all light is swallowed up!

How could he possibly break free and fight back under such circumstances?!

Their superpowers are unaffected, but are they supposed to overwhelm the king-level zombies with sheer numbers?

The failure of the core member's ability inevitably caused panic among the people of Hunting Light. But while these people were feeling uneasy, Yin Qiufan was smiling, her voice as melodious and clear as a splashing spring.

Her "unconventionality" instantly made those who already disliked her want to curse her out, but many of the members of Hunting Light were strangely calmed down after hearing Yin Qiufan's laughter.

Isn't Yin Qiufan's ability closely related to this kind of "darkness"? Does her relaxed smile mean she has a way to break the deadlock?

“Fool,” she said.

The members of the Hunting Light team suddenly noticed the presence of a person in that area. There was no light shining into their field of vision in that area... instead, it was a blacker darkness than the night itself!

Human vision cannot discern such a difference, but the powerful tension makes their hearts race, making them unable to ignore the anomaly occurring in that area!

It's hard to describe the feeling... The space in front of them seemed to be distorted, and their vision was drawn by an invisible force to notice the black hole-like existence in this lightless land!

They could also vaguely see a figure standing ramrod straight, and the figure emitted a sound that reassured them:

"Who says I'm useless without light?"

In a small area shrouded in darkness and silence, the sound of footsteps reached everyone's ears without missing a beat.

Immediately following the announcement, the endless black barrier before people's eyes suddenly transformed into a scene bathed in ink wash painting—

The black "creatures" twisted and turned before their eyes, and in just a few seconds... they suddenly burst apart as if they could not withstand the enormous pressure!

Just then, light re-entered people's field of vision, but the black "creature" did not completely disappear; instead, it obediently lay down beside the black-haired, black-eyed youth.

Si Yisi's calm demeanor made it seem as if she were watching a farce. Mei Yu, covered in blood, let out a low hiss and, with no other choice, swung her claws horizontally at Si Yisi.

The claws tore open one of Si Yisi's sleeves, and amidst everyone's horrified and speechless gazes, a majestic dragon broke free from the sleeve and soared out!
