Seeing that the other party was unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, Chen Beipan knew that Hu Yingjun was likely to be in grave danger today, and could only sigh helplessly.
Inside the mutual aid association, the place was in complete chaos, with all sorts of opinions swirling around, making Chen Beipan's head feel like it was about to explode.
Left with no other choice, he took out his most treasured possession: a light blue crystal ball, about the size of a palm, possessing the strange power of divination.
Chen Beipan reluctantly performed a divination on Chen Hu, and after a moment, an image appeared on the crystal ball.
Chen Hu, cloaked in black, had his head blown off by an arrow and collapsed on the snow, leaving only a headless corpse.
Chen Beipan was overjoyed to finally see some good news. He excitedly took a screenshot and sent it to the mutual aid group, which finally calmed the storm.
——
Outside Hu Yingjun's stone house, Chen Hu had already knocked a large hole in the wooden door. At that moment, he was reaching out a hand, groping around, trying to open the door from the inside.
Upon seeing this, Hu Yingjun trembled all over and did not react at all.
Zhang Shi saw through the live stream that Chen Hu was about to break down the door and felt a little anxious.
After all, Hu Yingjun had once given him a valuable farmland improvement card, and now that they were in danger, Zhang Shi felt he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
Zhang Shiqie returned to the private chat interface, took out a fine iron spear and a set of animal hide armor, and initiated a trade with Hu Yingjun.
Terrified, Hu Yingjun dared not confront his opponent directly and could only place his hopes on the other survivors, his attention constantly fixed on the system panel. When he saw Zhang Shi send him an item, his eyes lit up, feeling he was saved.
Hu Yingjun quickly received the props sent by Zhang Shi and saw the encouraging words sent by Zhang Shi.
“Brother, that guy outside isn’t much stronger than you. Put on the equipment I gave you, defend the stone house, and muster up the courage to fight him. He can’t do anything to you.”
Seeing that there was no other substantial help, Hu Yingjun immediately became mournful again and even complained about Zhang Shi.
"What kind of big shot are you? You talk a good game when you're doing business, but when I'm in danger, you're all the same."
Zhang Shi heard Hu Yingjun's words clearly through the live stream. He wasn't angry, but simply shook his head helplessly. "You're facing a life-or-death situation, and you're still hoping someone else will save you? Who else will die if not you?"
Chen Hu had already found the door lock and skillfully pulled it open from the outside.
Seeing that even the last glimmer of hope was about to be extinguished, Hu Yingjun finally hardened his heart, shouted, and charged towards the wooden door with his fine iron spear.
Hearing the shouts from inside the house, Chen Hu was clearly on guard. He easily dodged the spear by sidestepping it, then rushed towards Hu Yingjun and knocked him down with a single blow of his hammer.
As soon as Hu Yingjun fell, the hammer rained down on his head like a storm. In just a few breaths, Hu Yingjun's head turned gray, and he was dead beyond any doubt.
"Keep barking! Why aren't you barking anymore?"
The killing seemed to excite Chen Hu greatly, and he still did not stop what he was doing, even though Hu Yingjun's head had already become a pile of minced meat.
Zhang Shi turned off the live stream after seeing this, and the image of Chen Hu dodging the spear and crouching down to get close to his opponent flashed through his mind again.
In the first-person perspective of the live stream, Chen Hu made Zhang Shi feel more immersed in the story. Zhang Shi could clearly perceive that Chen Hu's agility attribute was not low, and his overall level should also exceed that of most survivors.
"He's a tough opponent, but his teleportation device is quite interesting."
Chen Hu interrupted the live stream.
After taking over Hu Yingjun's shelter, he did not immediately inventory the supplies. Instead, he removed Hu's bracelet and sent messages in the chat channel to rant.
"Are you all satisfied with my live stream?"
The chat channel was completely silent. No one dared to provoke Chen Hu at this moment, after all, he really could kill people through the internet.
"Hey, why is everyone so quiet? Weren't you all chatting away just now?"
Inside the mutual aid association, the emotions that had just calmed down erupted once again.
It's unclear who started it, but people in the association began tagging Chen Beipan, asking him to step forward and seek justice for Hu Yingjun.
Chen Beipan was now in a dilemma. Although he was confident in his superior equipment and skills, he did not want to risk his life for a member who was already dead and had lost his value.
Silently noting down the first person to take the lead, Chen Beipan could only bite the bullet and make grand promises in the mutual aid group to appease everyone.
In the chat channel, the previously quiet message list suddenly had a new message.
Ge Dalong: @Chen Hu, don't be too arrogant. Justice resides in the hearts of the people, and Heaven is watching what people do. Although this wild and primitive world is barbaric and primitive, it is not necessarily without justice.
Seeing that someone had finally responded to him, Chen Hu used Hu Yingjun's watch to check the private chat messages while replying.
Hu Yingjun: Gongli, are you out of your mind? Do you think you can fly over and drag me to jail?
Hu Yingjun and Ge Dalong had no connection. His parchment book could only be forcibly transmitted through private chat and friend list. Chen Hu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and then he provoked him.
Hu Yingjun: Fine, fine. Since you like upholding justice so much, I'll give you a chance. I've sent the transfer request. Just approve it and let's see if your words are tougher than my hammer.
Zhao Feng: You little brat, I've sent the video call invitation. Turn on your mic, I want to chat with you.
Seeing that Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong had both stepped in, Zhang Shi was afraid they might act impulsively and irrationally, so he sent a message in the chat interface.
Zhang Shi (VIp): @Ge Dalong @Zhao Feng, ignore him. He's just a stray dog on the street. If you kick him to death, you might end up smelling bad.
"Woof woof!"
Pipi, standing to the side, seemed to understand the meaning behind Zhang Shi's words and cried out in dissatisfaction.
When Chen Hu saw Zhang Shi's name appear in the chat channel, his eyes flashed, and he quickly searched through Hu Yingjun's private chat list. A short while later, Chen Hu smiled and used his own identity to launch a threatening attack in the chat channel.
Chen Hu: @Zhang Shi, I remember you. You're number one on the regional leaderboard. You must have a lot of good stuff on you. Wait, I'm going to take care of you right now.
After saying that, Chen Hu turned on the live stream again.
In the scene, he sticks Hu Yingjun's bracelet onto the parchment book, and Zhang Shi's name slowly appears on the page.
This time, Chen Hu was looking for trouble with Zhang Shi. The number of viewers in the live stream quickly increased, and almost all the survivors from the entire region came. On the one hand, they wanted to see the excitement, and on the other hand, they wanted to see the real face of Zhang Shi, the top player on the leaderboard.
A flash of white light appeared over Chen Hu, and his figure vanished. In an instant, he appeared in a desolate wilderness, and even he was somewhat bewildered by the scene before him.
In Chen Hu's video, there is a stone wall nearly 4 meters high, with an electric fence on top that occasionally emits a buzzing sound. Inside the wall, two towering sentry towers can be vaguely seen, their bodies made of refined iron and cement, entirely constructed using modern industrial methods.
As dusk settles, the walls of the enclosure remain brightly lit, with wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, creating a stark contrast to the desolate wilderness.
