Chapter 169 The Hunting Capital (Part 12)
"What...do you plan to do?"
Ji Hefeng's first reaction was not to refute Si Yisi's whimsical idea.
He felt he had grasped a bit of this "personality's" way of handling things. Tasks that would be impossible for others could be handled flawlessly by Si Yisi…
Ji Hefeng now felt that he wouldn't be surprised if someone told him that Si Yisi could use those shadows to engulf the entire world.
Si Yisi gave him an unparalleled sense of power.
"Is there anything I need to do?" Si Yisi asked back, her eyes gleaming like jade chess pieces on a white chessboard. "Just throw it in—wouldn't that be enough?"
Ji Hefeng rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on: "Okay, I'll do my best to stop them."
It's a very practical way to provide free help.
The siege was quickly put on the agenda. The situation in Anqing City was unclear, but based on the information that Si Yisi and his companions learned while evading the zombies, a city was generally guarded by a "King-level zombie".
King-level zombies are zombies that survived the post-apocalyptic war.
In the later stages of the apocalypse, humanity and zombies clashed in their greatest conflict, with the King-level zombies being humanity's greatest enemy.
King-level zombies were formidable enemies to humans, and were targeted by concentrated fire. However, just when most of them were on the verge of death, the evolved zombies attacked humans from behind. The combined effect of several king-level zombies struggling in their death throes led to a crushing defeat for the human side.
After the great battle, the King-level zombies were recruited by the evolved zombies to guard the city. Their relationship was both mutually beneficial and wary of each other, since the new humans and zombies were not the same species, were they?
But this was never a good thing for humanity. They failed to weaken the core of the zombie force and gained an enemy: an evolved zombie that called itself a new human.
Yin Qiufan walked over and presented her with more detailed information about Anqing City, including a hand-drawn map of the city and "strange phenomena" observed from the outside.
Si Yisi keenly noticed that Yin Qiufan's smile was faint, and hidden beneath it was a slightly unpleasant emotion.
Yin Qiufan did things as usual, quite decisively and efficiently, showing no signs of anything unusual.
But Sisley quickly understood why—
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yin Qiufan's figure disappear into the shadows the moment he stepped out the door, and then he heard a clear hissing sound beside his ear.
Yin Qiufan used her abilities so casually, but her abilities aroused fear in some people.
"monster……"
Si Yisi recognized the whisper.
Yin Qiufan followed closely, like a nimble assassin separating from the shadows. She grabbed the man's chin and pressed the arrow she had conjured against his artery.
A cold light flashed in her eyes, a look so chilling it was astonishing.
"Shut up." Yin Qiufan roughly shoved the man aside, glanced at Si Yisi, and went to close the door.
"Sorry to bother you."
It is obvious that Yin Qiufan was ostracized because of her abilities.
After all, her abilities are cold and dark, which is repulsive... as if they were facing a monster.
Ji Hefeng was not surprised by this: "If it were me, I would have done the same."
"So what if her abilities make her seem like a monster? She has the ability to protect herself and help others, which is more important than anything else! There's no need to pay attention to those rumors."
Ji Hefeng was referring to Yin Qiufan, but his gaze was fixed on Si Yisi.
Previously, Qi Anming always insisted on using light as his weapon, but now he has changed and seems to prefer manipulating shadows to attack.
Only when Si Yisi uses his abilities will people truly feel what real terror is.
Ji Hefeng was reminded of Si Yisi by Yin Qiufan's experience.
This was a different kind of reassurance; he was worried that Si Yisi might be affected in some way.
And Si Yisi... accepted it.
“I know.” Si Yisi nodded. “What do other people have to do with me?” Nothing, so… why should I care?
“There are plenty of ways to exhaust those who love to gossip until they can’t speak anymore,” Si Yisi said coldly.
This conversation has come to an end, but the research on Anqing City continues intensively.
But just as Hunting Light approached the area surrounding Anqing City, Si Yisi and his group were visited by another human organization from the area.
The protection association only sent two people: a middle-aged man who looked very strong and a somewhat thin young man with beautiful, misty eyes.
"This is Li Wenqi, and I am Wen Yangyu from the Anqing City Conservation Association. We've come to discuss something with you," Wen Yangyu glanced at the middle-aged man beside him before slowly speaking, "You are... Hunting Light, right?"
The two men sent by the conservation association were clearly in charge; the middle-aged man was obviously the one in charge.
"Welcome," Si Yisi replied casually, her gaze sweeping over the two of them.
He seemed to completely disregard this human organization, and even the people he summoned were not the original high-ranking officials.
Si Yisi's next words were even more provocative: "Hunting Light does not accept any negotiations, and we do not need to cooperate with any other organizations on any matters."
“Go back to where you came from; there is no place for you to rest here.”
He's trying to give the conservation association a cold shoulder!
Li Wenqi's face immediately showed a hint of anger: "What do you mean by savior? We risked being caught by zombies to come to Hunting Light just to discuss our views on the future of humanity, but we never expected that the savior's vision would be so narrow!"
"At this time, all human organizations should unite to fight the zombies and reclaim our land! The savior's sense of the bigger picture..."
Li Wenqi clenched his fists, his face flushed red, as if he was about to punch Si Yisi in the face at any moment!
Wen Yangyu, who was next to him, seemed to be startled and immediately tried to smooth things over with a surprised expression.
Before Wen Yangyu could utter a single word, Si Yisi's voice rang out again: "Cooperating with the Protection Association? Shouguang doesn't seem to care about his life."
Si Yisi remained expressionless, and continued speaking as Li Wenqi's face changed drastically: "Does your so-called method of protecting the future of humanity mean that we should abandon our hatred and live peacefully with the zombies?"
"Protection Association... Ha, are they protecting humans or zombies?"
Si Yisi saw through what Li Wenqi and the others were hiding, but remained calm throughout.
"Karikou can't make such a false accusation—"
Si Yisi interrupted Li Wenqi again: "Slander? No, you probably don't know, we're right here in your protection association."
To Li Wenqi's horror, Si Yisi's skin in front of him began to fade!
His original normal skin color turned into a black like ink staining... No, "Si Yisi" was not only fading, but even his facial features and limbs began to distort and deform.
What finally appeared in front of Li Wenqi and Wen Yangyu was a long, thin black shadow, exactly like the shadows people always step on!
The shadow still retained Si Yisi's appearance, which looked incredibly awkward! Not only did Si Yisi become a shadow, but the few relatively unknown ability users around him were also replaced by shadow clones one after another!
If Li Wenqi still didn't realize something by this point, he would be a fool. From the very beginning... the Si Yisi who was talking to their protection association was just a shadow. The real Si Yisi had already broken through the enemy camp and arrived at the protection association's interior!
“It’s…a superpower.” Wen Yangyu slapped Li Wenqi across the face, his expression as dark as ink.
The shadow that perfectly mimicked Si Yisi's physique and form bowed at this moment before gracefully withdrawing and falling into complete silence.
But in Wen Yangyu's eyes at this moment, its silent bow was filled with a sense of mockery!
"Fine, very well." Wen Yangyu said through gritted teeth. Suddenly, the vegetation near him began to grow wildly, like demons dancing in chaos!
"Everything is going well."
Yin Qiu smiled at Si Yisi, with a bruised and swollen face under her feet.
People who protect the association.
From the very beginning, the people of Shouguang did not trust the Protection Association, and any dissenting voices were swiftly suppressed by the decisive leadership.
Si Yisi anticipated that the conservation association would definitely send someone to negotiate. He judged from various details and his own senses that the conservation association was at fault...
So how could they possibly be obediently waiting for the conservation association to come and visit?
The protection association likely has some connection with the zombies, otherwise it would be hard to explain the problems they have exposed!
Si Yisi undoubtedly trusted his own feelings, and Shouguang was also an incomparably sharp longsword in his hand, sweeping across all directions according to Si Yisi's will!
Hunting Light doesn't have a main base at all; the direction Si Yisi points is the direction they're heading.
An irresistible and unique charm spurred the people of Hunting Light to keep moving forward.
Si Yisi created several shadows to mislead the members of the protection association, making them believe that they were all staying put.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Hunters followed orders and arrived at the Protection Association, where a decisive and overwhelming battle ensued.
The Protection Association isn't without powerful individuals, but compared to them, Si Yisi's side is stronger. When the strong clash with the stronger, the Protection Association is naturally utterly crushed!
As the battle intensified, some of the Association's secrets were also revealed... which was quite shocking.
Si Yisi had no interest in joining the one-sided, crushing battle. He watched as Ji Hefeng and the others were dealt with one by one, just like a whirlwind, while he himself, for some reason, kept looking at the sky.
While other members of the organization were busy, Si Yisi, as the leader, was "stealing a moment of leisure." Many people who had resolved their troubles couldn't help but look up, trying to see what Si Yisi was seeing—
An Chengshuang looked up and asked Si Yisi, "What are you looking at?"
The next instant, his eyes reflected a scene of demons dancing wildly, the sky seemed to be covered by an overwhelming vine and foliage, and all the plants came to life at that moment.
As An Chengshuang watched this scene, he had no idea what kind of joyful light was flickering in Si Yisi's eyes at that moment!
This is more... interesting!
In contrast, Wen Yangyu, who rushed back quickly, seemed like a demon god, with a high-spirited aura!
