Upon hearing the man's words, Bilsen's face instantly darkened, and his already cruel eyes now flashed with a fierce light.
"Hmph, you ignorant fool, still dare to talk back." He snorted coldly and slowly walked towards the man.
The man had lost his previous obsequiousness and now met Pilsen's gaze without fear.
Bilson walked up to the man and kicked him hard in the stomach.
The man groaned and curled up like a shrimp, but he bit his lip and didn't let out a scream.
Seeing the man's stubbornness, Pilsen's anger intensified.
He drew a sharp dagger from his waist, brandished it in front of the man, and sneered, "How long do you think you can hold out?"
As he spoke, he lightly made a cut on the man's arm with his dagger, and a bloody mark immediately appeared, with blood slowly seeping out.
The man's forehead veins bulged, and sweat poured down his face, but he kept his mouth tightly shut.
Enraged, Bilson began frantically stabbing the man in non-lethal locations with his dagger.
With each stab, he roared furiously, "Scream! Why won't you scream!"
The man's body was quickly soaked in blood, covered in wounds, but he endured the excruciating pain without uttering a sound.
Seeing that the man still refused to yield, Pilsen became even more frenzied. He began to slice off pieces of the man's flesh, like a tortured criminal being slowly sliced to death.
The man's body trembled violently, and his consciousness gradually blurred, but his eyes remained firm.
He roared, "You will suffer ten times, a hundred times, the pain I have endured! Just you wait! You will!"
As the man loses more and more weight, his life slowly fades away.
With his last ounce of strength, he spat a mouthful of bloody saliva at Bilsen.
Bilson was completely enraged. He wildly swung his dagger, hacking the man's body to pieces.
The man finally collapsed slowly, his eyes still open, as if gazing at the land he loved so deeply, leaving this world with endless resentment and hatred for those before him.
Some of the men in black robes felt a pang of pity and looked around at the surrounding jungle.
But Bilson was contentedly admiring the corpses of these men.
He sneered, "How naive! Do you still think this is before the disaster? In this world, might makes right. Who can kill me?"
Then, he looked at the others and smiled, "Find the location of Lotus City on the map, let's go straight there! I want to see how they'll revive after we've got our eyes on them!"
One of his subordinates cautiously said, "Sir Knight, wouldn't it be too risky for us to go directly there? We don't know how many people they have, or how many of them are evolved beings."
Bilson narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "The three of us Apocalypse Knights, plus the giant python, and the twenty-odd evolved beings among you, are invincible in this world, as long as we don't encounter high-level zombies or high-level evolved beasts! Who can deal with us?"
The subordinate was startled by Bilson's gaze and said tremblingly, "Yes, Your Excellency!"
Pilsen smiled and said, "Relax, I'm very gentle with my own people."
After saying that, he kicked the man's unseeing corpse more than ten meters away, and then burst into laughter.
"Revival City? What arrogance! I'll see how you plan to revive it!"
......
Nuclear Defense Base No. 101.
In a secluded corner, several tense-looking people were gathered together.
They all tended to believe that Ye Qingyu was a survivor because she had hidden herself well and thus escaped the previous capture and imprisonment.
The dim light flickered, casting shadows on their tired and terrified faces.
One of the men whispered, "That bastard Zhao Yanwen has gone mad. He's using any means necessary to kill or arrest anyone connected to Lord Ye. The base is in complete chaos. What should we do?"
The man next to him gritted his teeth, his face full of anger: "We can't just sit here and wait to die, we have to find a way to escape."
Another woman said worriedly, "It's easier said than done. Zhao Yanwen now holds great power in the base, and his men obey his every command. We could be exposed if we're not careful. Most importantly, he has already ordered the base gates to be sealed off, so not even a fly can get out."
"He's courting death. He's ruined a perfectly good base, and everyone's complaining. We should just wait patiently for Sister Ye to come back."
"Yes! The more he acts like this, the more it shows his inner fear, and it also shows that Sister Ye is still here! And she will come back sooner or later! As long as Sister Ye comes back, that will be the starting point for our counterattack! Even within the army, there are quite a few people who are inclined to support Sister Ye!"
"I heard that a group of people got wind of the situation before the base gates closed and escaped. I hope they can find Sister Ye soon."
"I also heard that the Zhao brothers, Zhao Ningfei and Zhao Ningyu, took Zhao Yanwen's trusted elite troops out and haven't returned yet. I suspect something big must have happened."
"Alas, humanity is facing a life-or-death crisis, and yet there are still beasts like Zhao Yanwen!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Deep in the jungle, hundreds of people gathered here.
Their attire varied, and quite a few were even dressed in military uniforms.
But at this moment, the atmosphere here is heavy and oppressive.
They all escaped from Nuclear Defense Base 101; initially, there were more than 300 people.
Only a handful managed to escape.
"We've searched all the research sites Qingyu frequents, but we haven't found a single clue. Where should we look for Qingyu?" an old soldier in a worn-out military uniform said anxiously.
"Yes, this vast world is full of mutated plants and animals and zombies. Where are we going to find Sister Ye? We can barely protect ourselves right now, and we also have to be on guard against the pursuers sent by the base at all times." A young soldier replied with a worried expression.
Just as everyone was filled with worry, the man on lookout suddenly rushed back in a panic, shouting as he ran, "Something terrible has happened! A large group of soldiers has been spotted!"
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Everyone was taken aback and asked in alarm, "Has the base sent people?"
Just as the lookout was about to speak, a white figure appeared like a ghost.
A beautiful woman dressed in a white robe appeared before them.
She had fair skin, bright and deep eyes, and a faint smile on her lips.
Are you from Nuclear Defense Base 101?
Her voice was clear and melodious, yet it made everyone present instantly jump to their throats.
Everyone instinctively gripped their weapons, watching the woman who had suddenly appeared warily.
The atmosphere in the jungle instantly became extremely tense.
