Chapter 165 The Hunting Capital (Part 8)
The surviving humans submerged in the "pool" were all dressed in pure white, which made Si Yisi, who was the first to emerge, appear even more sickly pale, with only a small patch of skin peeking out from her sleeve.
Si Yisi stood tall and straight, his physique lacking the explosive beauty of power, but his calm and composed expression more than made up for it.
He waded out step by step through the water, his eyes fixed on the panicked Mr. Chen as he retreated. The slender black dragon's body was faintly visible beneath the white sleeves of his robes...
The next moment, Si Yisi stopped, gave Mr. Chen a mocking smile, and a dagger materialized in his hand. He deftly moved his wrist: "Prey?"
"hunter--?"
Before he could finish speaking, the dagger was casually tossed out, like a fleeting shadow across the sky, piercing Mr. Chen's neck in an instant!
The live stream room, which had been away from the hunting grounds, regained signal and started operating again.
But what was reflected in the eyes of the "Gods," who were always wearing malicious smiles and eager to see Si Yisi and his companions tortured to death bit by bit...
But it was a completely one-sided battle!
Scattered around the "pool" are suitable restraints used to control the abilities of those with superpowers. At this moment, a layer of dark bloodstains floats on the clear nutrient pool, and the human who should have been lying unconscious inside has instead pinned down the host of the hunting ground game!
"H-How could this be?!"
People caught the sounds of a chaotic escape. Si Yisi pulled Mr. Chen's hand and pressed it onto a fingerprint-activated machine. With a faint rumble, the outside world of the "pool" was revealed to Si Yisi and the others!
It was a huge platform, probably converted from an audience seating area. At this moment, the platform was packed with Newtypes, and in front of them were endless streams of comments that they hadn't had time to turn off...
At this moment, the new humans' eyes were filled with fear; their instincts made them afraid of these ferocious beasts that had broken free of their restraints!
How ridiculous! When humans were captured, they wanted them to wag their tails and beg for mercy, but now that humans have broken free of their control, they are the ones who are afraid!
Si Yisi surveyed the utterly ridiculous scene and said calmly, "I won't let a single one escape!"
What followed was almost a personal performance by the escapees. The flames of the season and the wind sealed off every escape route, and the flames licked at all the new humans who tried to escape, turning this place into their graveyard!
With a mocking smile, Yin Qiu toyed with his prey, conjuring several long whips that hooked around the necks of one new human after another, knocking them down like a human pyramid!
An Chengshuang indifferently and swiftly took control of the nearest few small machines, and then expanded the "contamination" outwards from there. Before long, machines of all sizes left their original positions, regarding their former owners as intruders...
This was a mechanical chaos under his brief manipulation!
...
Even those without the ability are unwilling to be inferior to others. Everyone knows that this is a matter of life and death. Since they have already broken through... if they fail, they will definitely be killed. They have no choice but to fight with their backs against the wall!
Whether they harbored resentment towards Si Yisi or not, at this moment they were more united than ever before, fighting side by side with unwavering focus, just like at the very beginning of the apocalypse!
Meng Liang grabbed the fire extinguisher next to him, exchanged a glance with An Chengshuang, and smashed it on the head of the new human without hesitation!
There were at least a hundred new humans present, but as they evolved, they lost the ability to bite and infect. At this moment, they were like beasts that had lost their fangs, and they were soon routed!
Meanwhile, everything that happened here was flowing out and into the eyes of all the surviving humans!
Where is Si Yisi?
He strolled leisurely, slowly ascending the platform step by step. He climbed the stairs unhurriedly, and every new human he bumped into died silently behind him, their blackened blood splattering and staining the steps Si Yisi had traversed.
Si Yisi walked up to the high platform without looking to the side, as if he were walking on a road to heaven. His white sleeves seemed to be like white cranes taking flight, leading him all the way up.
The new humans gathered here were nothing more than a rabble, and the few people present quickly finished cleaning them up. These nearly one hundred new humans hadn't died, and in Si Yisi's eyes, they still had some use.
Ji Hefeng extinguished the flames and walked to Si Yisi's side, calmly replying, "All cleaned up."
"...It feels like we were fighting side by side back then," he said sincerely.
Si Yisi glanced at Ji Hefeng and said happily, "Perhaps there will be more opportunities to continue fighting side by side in the future."
Their target isn't these mud-like new humans, but... all of the new humans!
The new humans were trying to hunt humans, but now that the roles of prey and hunter have been reversed, they can completely turn the tables and hunt the new humans, reclaiming humanity's homeland!
Mr. Chen's eyes were cloudy as his neck was pinned down. He would not die. The only fatal weakness of a zombie is its brain. Even if damage is caused to other parts of its body, it will not be fatal!
He was carried by two men to Si Yisi's side. These two men were completely under Si Yisi's command at this moment, and they had unknowingly developed a sense of obedience to Si Yisi.
Si Yisi looked at the zombie that was making a constant hissing sound, taking in the venom in its eyes. Mr. Chen's first reaction upon seeing Si Yisi was to open his fangs and bite at his neck. With the zombie's bite force, that bite would definitely kill him on the spot!
But as soon as Mr. Chen revealed his fangs, the light gathered and coalesced into countless invisible threads. These threads emerged from all directions and quickly sewed Mr. Chen's wide-open mouth shut!
Si Yisi looked at him. His pupils were very dark, and the whites of his eyes seemed to be swallowed up by the deep black. When he stared at her intently, a chill ran through her heart.
Even worse, it might lead to the thought that... he's watching you, that he can see right through all your thoughts!
Si Yisi said exactly that: "I know you have a way to contact the higher-ups in your zombie group, now... go and tell them."
"Humans will take back the land you've occupied! An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; now is the time for humans to hunt zombies—"
Mr. Chen glared at him, and the next moment his face contorted in pain. Si Yisi could feel an invisible force flowing from the host's brain into the distance.
He is conveying a message!
Within seconds, the light in Mr. Chen's eyes dimmed, and his brain appeared to be in a charred state... it would crumble into powder at the slightest touch!
The crystal core in his head rolled out, and the moment it touched the ground, it received the same treatment as his brain.
—Turn to ashes.
Crystal cores flashed through Si Yisi's mind. During the apocalypse, zombies were divided into different ranks. Higher-ranking zombies could command and manipulate lower-ranking zombies, using an invisible wave emanating from their crystal cores to control their subordinates.
Even evolved zombies should not be able to escape such hierarchical constraints. Why did Mr. Chen's crystal core shatter and turn to ash after transmitting the fluctuations?
There was only one possibility, which made Si Yisi raise an eyebrow with great interest.
The target of his energy fluctuations was a zombie of a higher level than himself, which is why the crystal core could not withstand the pressure and shattered directly!
Humanity needs to confront not only a large number of new humans, but also a higher existence that transcends these inferior new humans.
After Mr. Chen finished doing all this, Si Yisi gave an order, and with several faint sounds of breaking, the zombies who were shouting to exterminate them all finally became motionless corpses!
No one intended to show any mercy; they should pay for their crimes in blood!
After dealing with this batch of zombies, Si Yisi organized her thoughts and pointed at Mr. Chen, saying, "This host has already passed the information to the higher-level zombies."
After finishing this, Si Yisi asked the group of humans what they thought: "Do you want to go on your own or come with me? Let's make this clear first, we're going to hunt zombies, not play house."
When the word "hunting" came out of Si Yisi's mouth, Ji Hefeng clearly observed the gleam in Si Yisi's eyes.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he was the first to step forward: "I'll follow you."
Ji Hefeng's initiative inspired courage in others or made them determined. Yin Qiufan and An Chengshuang then restrained the bloodlust they had accumulated in the battle and earnestly and sincerely expressed their willingness to stay!
Two people hesitated for a long time before finally stepping forward and choosing to withdraw. After them, no one else chose to leave!
Si Yisi glanced at An Chengshuang: "Then let's get down to business now."
He acted swiftly, giving no one a moment to breathe before locking onto the next target. An Chengshuang and Si Yisi worked in perfect harmony; he held a small keyboard, his fingers flying across the keys. The machinery of the hunting grounds was deciphered in a very short time, and a dazzling array of flat, illusory images appeared before everyone's eyes under An Chengshuang's control!
An Chengshuang raised his voice and said, "The zombies have established a total of nine hunting grounds, and this is where all the hunting grounds are located."
"Four hunting grounds already have participants in the game, we need to be quick!"
“Yes,” Si Yisi replied, his expression carrying a strong sense of pressure, drawing all eyes to him. “A single tree cannot make a forest; we need more companions to fight the zombies together.”
"Killing zombies is important, but remember one thing—it's better to kill the scum who kill your own people than to let them go!"
"We cannot afford any mistakes at critical moments!"
After finishing his sentence, Si Yisi looked at An Chengshuang. Things were progressing smoothly as they had anticipated, and nothing had gone off track! Si Yisi had simply used An Chengshuang's abilities to fan the flames even bigger!
After a series of sparks, all the lights focused on Si Yisi's face, which was magnified and appeared on the huge screen opposite the platform, as well as on the screens that the other eight new humans in the hunting grounds were watching!
"Tearing, ripping... What's going on? What is this thing?"
The humans who were participating in the hunting ground game or waiting stared wide-eyed as the content displayed on the screen before them became monotonous.
Si Yisi's face appeared from within.
He spoke clearly, his dark eyes sharp and calm: "I am Qi Anming, one of the participants in the Hunting Ground Game."
