"Arrogantly attacking a lone human?" Freya felt that this Lucifer didn't match her understanding of him.
She remembered Shi Yin saying that even the arrogant one had some martial ethics, and not all monsters were hypocritical, but hearing this, Lucifer seemed quite sinister.
“Yeah, to be honest, he’s probably stronger than me… but when it comes to fighting to the death, nobody can say for sure.” Shi Yin said with some distress, “But he’s probably going to play me again and wear me down.”
"Actually, the crisis that the team encountered that day was his doing. It was just that the situation was critical and you were there, so I didn't go to him. Otherwise, it should have been resolved that day."
“If that’s the case, theoretically there’s another way, right?” Freya looked at Shi Yin and tentatively said, “For example, we could use some people as bait, and then follow them closely…”
"That's too theoretical." Shi Yin said helplessly, "With Lucifer's strength, I can't possibly rescue anyone from him. Aren't those who are used as bait just sending themselves to their deaths?"
Nanzhu: "..."
Freya: "..."
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Shi Yin felt a little uneasy under the two silent, shocked gazes. "You're saying your shelter has been completely wiped out? That means there are really only about two hundred of us left. It wouldn't be right to send more out to die..."
"Freya means that perhaps sacrificing four or five people could save everyone." Nan Zhu's eyes flickered slightly: "After all, this protracted war can't go on forever; in the apocalypse, someone will always have to sacrifice themselves."
“Uh…” Shi Yin blinked, but she looked a little unhappy.
“It’s not that I can’t understand you… after all, most people would make this choice, but… what is the meaning of my existence?” Shi Yin asked rhetorically.
"What?" Nan Zhu didn't understand.
"With my strength, instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, I'm thinking about who to sacrifice to help me solve it? ...That's too weird, isn't it?" Shi Yin looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
"No, that's not what I meant." Nan Zhu couldn't stand Shi Yin's gaze any longer, so she had to back down: "Because tram problems are always unavoidable."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you. I just don't really like doing it this way." Shi Yin shrugged. "Have you seen Spider-Man? He once stopped a speeding train for a group of people. So when I encounter a trolley problem, why can't I think about stopping the train first?"
“Of course, some people will sacrifice themselves for humanity or for those who are important to them, but can forced acts of voluntariness be considered voluntary sacrifice?” Shi Yin disagreed: “If it weren’t for the world, who would want to sacrifice themselves voluntarily?”
Freya and Nanzhu were speechless; they felt that Shiyin in front of them was a complete stranger.
The two tones sound as if they were completely different people.
"Thank you for the suggestion, it has given me a new idea." Shi Yin clapped her hands, happily comforting the two people in front of her: "I can simulate an illusion to deceive the zombies, but I can't use multiple abilities at once, so I may have to rely on you for safety at this time."
Shi Yin had never considered this method before, but she could sense that the two people in front of her were quite strong, and that they could protect her safety for the time being.
In the past, Shi Yin wouldn't have dared to fully control the illusion, lest her base be raided and she be in trouble.
It takes 1 to 2 seconds to retract and convert power. For her and Lucifer's strength, 1 to 2 seconds is enough for them to kill each other countless times.
"Okay," Freya and Nanzhu agreed.
Shi Yin gave each of them a map.
The shelter is in the center of the map, and four or five areas are circled around it, all of which are places where Lucifer has been spotted. Two places are marked in red, which are places where Lucifer has lived for a long time.
It also clearly indicates that the area is fraught with danger.
Shi Yin explained that she wouldn't dare go into this place alone, since her strength was not much different from Lucifer's, and the surrounding area was full of high-level zombies. If she rushed in alone, she would definitely be overwhelmed.
Moreover, Shi Yin thought Nan Zhu and Freya's suggestion was good, and now there was a possibility of implementing the plan.
With fewer and fewer humans, these advanced zombies have had little chance to taste human blood anymore. They must be starving for it now, as the taste of humans is the sweetest and most unforgettable for them.
Shi Yin can mimic the aura of humans with illusions so perfectly that as long as these high-level zombies are lured out and wiped out one by one, just like Lucifer wiped out humans, even if Lucifer is not lured out, he will probably be anxious to show himself.
However, this process will likely take a long time, but that's okay, Shi Yin has enough patience.
Sure enough, it was successful on the first try.
The three found a secluded rooftop, not far from one of the dangerous locations. Soon, Shi Yin simulated a small team of about several dozen people.
The people in these squads were fully armed, and even Freya and Nanzhu couldn't tell whether they were real or fake for a moment.
These illusions are not illusory, but have a physical form. They are even warm to the touch, and are incredibly detailed, ranging from the steel in weapons to the pores on a face.
The first time, it attracted a large number of high-level zombies.
Nan Zhu and Freya never saw any low-level ordinary zombies. The lowest-level zombies here were six-meter-tall manipulators with superpowers.
There are zombies with snake-like lower bodies that can dash in a straight line at extremely fast speeds. I've heard that they really are like snakes; one bite is highly venomous and they can swallow a person whole.
Some were covered in bandages, yet moved like humans, as if possessing superpowers that enhanced their physical abilities. They moved like the wind and wielded guns with great skill.
There are also those who can jump as high as a dozen stories, but when they fall, they spin like a top. Their two fingernails are as sharp as scimitars. With each fall, even towering trees are cut in half.
These were things that Freya and Nanzhu had never seen before.
Or rather, I've seen a few of them before.
They had seen snake-like zombies before, but they had trained in the training pods many times, always able to accurately strike their vital points, so they posed no threat to them in reality.
There are also those whose bodies are wrapped in bandages; they have also trained in the training pod.
However, in reality, the zombies in the battle did not have such speed and power. Their reaction and combat strength were far inferior to what they saw now. The difference in speed and strength between the zombies in the two worlds was more than double.
There were also some zombies they had never seen before; their shadows were constantly writhing, and the air was constantly distorting—they must also be monsters they had never seen before.
Just by luring out a small group, there were already thousands of different high-level zombies gathered together. Freya and Nanzhu were certain that if they were facing this group of zombies, they probably wouldn't even know how they died.
Freya and Nanzhu finally understood what Shiyin had done.
The world they live in is a world protected by a comfortable environment; this world is the real apocalypse!
The real, late-stage apocalypse!
