Hu Xiong's heart skipped a beat.
Because he realized that these resurrected townspeople were not just ordinary resurrections.
These townspeople showed no signs of soul energy whatsoever; they were just ordinary people.
Now, black demonic energy is emanating from these townspeople.
Moreover, the intensity of the demonic energy has reached the standard of evil-level demonic offspring!
"These townspeople...they've been corrupted by demons?!"
"One of the students said in astonishment."
Hu Xiong's face darkened, and he clenched his fists.
"Ha..." "Ah!!"
The resurrected, demonized townspeople let out corpse-like screams and swarmed towards Hu Xiong and his group once again.
"Martial Arts - Tiger Lion Roar!"
Hu Xiong used his martial arts again, sending the townspeople flying.
With his level 5.8 strength, he could easily blast away these evil-level demons.
However, this time, the demonized townspeople were obviously not killed outright.
They staggered to their feet, roaring again, and launched a second attack.
Hu Xiong cursed under his breath, took a step forward, and delivered a Black Tiger Heart Strike to the demonized townsman who was charging at the front.
The townsman coughed up a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground, where he was killed once again.
......
Inside a room at the inn.
Lin Nai, Hua Lingze, and Fang Wu settled in here. The room only had one large bed, but none of the three were picky or fussy. Even Hua Lingze didn't have the common problem of spoiled young masters; he was fine with sleeping on the floor at night.
After settling into the room, Hua Lingze took a pair of binoculars and stood at the window, observing the situation in the town outside.
The room they chose had an excellent view; the inn was basically the tallest building in the town.
From the windows here, you can observe most of the street intersections around the inn, and you can also clearly see the entrances and exits of the town.
“I saw a few familiar faces,” Hua Lingze said suddenly, holding up his binoculars.
"Oh?" Fang Wu asked curiously, "Who is it?"
“They are the other contestants in this competition, several students from the school directly affiliated with the gene company.” Hua Lingze took off her binoculars: “They have clashed with the townspeople and a fight has broken out.”
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Fang Wu immediately jumped off the bed, grabbed the binoculars, and said, "Let me see."
Linna was not surprised at all.
In fact, he has already activated the Gray Eyes and is observing the situation of the entire town.
He discovered that the townspeople all possessed pale blue souls, just like normal people.
In other words, whether they are NPCs or not, at least in this world they are not empty shells of puppets, but living, breathing people.
Lin Nai also saw Hu Xiong and his group, and recognized them as the guys who had been following them all the way through the mountains.
'These people are really reckless...' Lin Nai thought to himself with a bitter smile.
Fang Wu held the binoculars and looked intently for a while. He murmured, "It really is one of the other contestants... I know that student with the broad shoulders and thick waist. He is Hu Xiong from the gene company. He was in the top 30 in the first round, so his strength is quite good."
"So, it seems that all the other contestants besides us were also transported to this same world?"
"Maybe so." Hua Lingze smiled. "Besides this group from the gene company, I haven't found any other contestants. Maybe we're the first people to get to this town through the maze formation in the mountains."
"If that's the case, then that's good..."
Fang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, this was a speed race, and he was very worried that if he didn't make it into the top 200, he wouldn't be able to advance.
It seems that they are still among the most advanced groups in terms of progress.
Lin Nai thought to himself that the townspeople were indeed acting strangely. After being killed by the contestants from the gene company, they seemed to have been possessed by some kind of power and had actually become demonized and resurrected.
So this is the advantage of holding back for now.
If you hadn't gathered any information or understood the situation in the town when you were out on the street, and had rashly gotten into a conflict with the townspeople, it would have been a mistake.
At this moment, they are probably the ones being besieged by the townspeople.
"Those townspeople, they could actually be resurrected after being killed?" Fang Wu looked through the binoculars and asked in surprise, "And after they were resurrected, why did they all seem to have been corrupted by demons?"
"Not only that," Hua Lingze narrowed his eyes, "Judging from the current situation, if I'm not mistaken, the demonic nature of those townspeople should become even stronger every time they are resurrected!"
"...No way?" Fang Wu frowned upon hearing this. "If that's the case, won't this town soon..."
“Yes.” Lin Nai crossed her arms and added calmly, “If Hu Xiong and the others continue killing like this, all the townspeople will turn into a group of highly powerful demonized people, until they are surrounded and killed by these upgraded demonized townspeople.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Wu's expression immediately tensed up, and he clenched his fists.
"So what do we do now?" Fang Wu put down his binoculars and looked back at Lin Nai and Hua Lingze. "Should we go and stop them?"
Lin Nai, however, seemed indifferent, lying on the recliner with his legs crossed: "What's the point of stopping them? Since they're so recklessly killing people in the town, let them have their fun."
Fang Wu worriedly said, "But if they keep killing like this, won't all the townspeople in this town soon turn into demons? And their levels will only increase with each kill. Eventually, even we'll be affected, and it will be very difficult to get through..."
Lin Nai smiled and pointed to the ancient black costume she was wearing: "We're not 'outsiders,' so why should we be implicated by them?"
Fang Wu was stunned: "You mean...?"
Linnai, resting her head on one arm, calmly said, "These townspeople only target 'outsiders,' but now, we're 'one of their own' to them, so how could we be implicated?"
Hua Lingze smiled easily upon hearing this: "That's right."
Fang Wu's expression was complicated.
Although he felt that what Linnaeus said seemed to make some sense, but...
"Then... what should we do now?" Fang Wu asked somewhat helplessly.
Lin Nai glanced at him and simply uttered two words: "Sleep."
