Chapter 170 The Hunting Capital (Thirteen)
The area around the research institute was planted with many green plants, turning it into a green sea. The people of Hunting Light previously thought that the people behind the protection association had a lot of leisure time, but now they see that this is clearly to facilitate the use of superpowers!
A superpower can unleash greater power in an environment that suits it, while the opposite is like using the superpower of water in a hot desert, putting oneself in a very disadvantageous situation.
The green plants grew at an abnormally rapid pace, their bodies swelling and their surfaces gleaming with a cold, bluish light, like terrifying green pythons trying to strangle Si Yisi and his rampant invaders...
Wen Yangyu landed on the "throne" formed by intertwined green plants. He looked down at Si Yisi from his high position. In front of the "green python" magnified ten or even hundreds of times, Si Yisi looked like prey that could be crushed at any moment.
"Surrender," Wen Yangyu said with a fake smile. "If you agree to let Shouguang merge into the Protection Association from now on, I will spare your lives."
—Some people actually believed Wen Yangyu's story.
Most of the people who hesitated and ultimately chose to betray were people rescued from a hunting ground game that had never been opened.
Some of them felt that since they had not received any favors from Si Yisi, they naturally had no loyalty to Shouguang whatsoever!
But the instant they uttered the words "I am willing to surrender"... several tiny "tentacles" emerged from the shadows at their feet, piercing the hearts of those who intended to harm the people of Hunting Light like a bolt of lightning!
"I……"
Yin Qiu raised her head arrogantly, her black skirt resembling a flower of death in bloom.
She coldly uttered, "Those who betray their country will be killed without mercy—"
Those who might pose a threat to Karihime have been watched from the start. The smart ones know that the preferential treatment is just for show, while the fools are like this, executed on the spot!
This is the perfect deterrent, making them understand that Shouguang is not a charitable organization that can come and go as it pleases, and that Shouguang will never show mercy to those who betray the cause or to the enemy.
This is... establishing authority.
Now it's up to that person. Yin Qiu glanced at Si Yisi, then plunged into the battle without hesitation.
“You’re wrong.” Si Yisi showed no sign of weakness. Even when he looked up at Wen Yangyu, he still didn’t give the impression that he was at a disadvantage!
"Surrender and I'll spare your life."
He relayed Wen Yangyu's words back to Wen Yangyu!
"What's so good about killing zombies? Before the apocalypse, humans advocated protecting animals, and aren't zombies just like animals? Why... can't we protect them?"
Wen Yangyu said.
“Ah,” Si Yisi replied, “we don’t call anything that can tear a person’s throat an animal, we call it a beast. For example, you are a beast.”
"What's the point of staying up there? Come down." Si Yisi said no more. Wen Yangyu, who was being stared at by his dark eyes, felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.
The next moment, Wen Yangyu's ankle was violently pulled by the thing that was wrapped around it, and he was pulled down!
"Tsk." Wen Yangyu awkwardly stopped his fall. Si Yisi's sudden attack caught him off guard and completely enraged him.
"Stubborn and obstinate—"
“Stubborn to the end.” Si Yisi repeated, giving Wen Yangyu a smile that revealed no real joy, but his eyes were sharp as knives.
He stopped restraining himself and unleashed his full power. Why should he listen to Wen Yangyu's words? They were just repeating the same twisted ideas over and over again!
This was probably the first time Wen Yangyu had been so completely ignored. He stared blankly at Si Yisi, who was striking him in the face without saying a word, almost as if he was about to give up.
But Wen Yangyu's special ability faithfully blocked Si Yisi's attack for him, gathering into a tree cage and swallowing the attack without hesitation.
"very……"
Before he could even finish saying "good," Si Yisi threw another punch at Wen Yangyu.
With his smile fading as he was repeatedly interrupted, Wen Yangyu's expression changed. The next second, the green plants that his powers had conjured abandoned their attacks on the other members of the Hunting Light group. The separated plants reassembled, and he mobilized all his power to attack Si Yisi!
But Si Yisi was just waiting for him to do that. The two moves just now were not even a warm-up; they were just feints that forced Wen Yangyu to be on high alert.
His superpowers seem invincible at first glance, thanks to his geographical advantage... but his weaknesses are also very obvious!
The fundamental reason why Wen Yangyu was able to launch such an overwhelming attack of green plants is because there are a large number of plants here, but no matter how large the plant is, it cannot survive after losing its root system.
Si Yisi was waiting for them to unite so that he could more clearly locate the roots hidden under the winding vines and leaves, and then defeat them one by one.
Breaking the wings of a bird robs a plant of its very life!
Si Yisi reassured the eager A-Tu, and a flash of light appeared in her palm—
Wen Yangyu's eyes reflected all of Si Yisi's movements. He saw that Si Yisi was holding a beam of light in her palm, and he was speechless the moment he faced that beam of light...
The green plants surged up wildly, blocking Si Yisi's path, but none of this could stop Wen Yangyu from sounding the alarm bell in his heart!
No matter how many green plants there are, they can't stop Si Yisi's steps...
He will—
Si Yisi threw out the light from her palm. It was a long and sharp invisible sword, its existence only revealed by the light that seemed to illuminate the sky.
He watched as the light he threw, seemingly effortless, was invincible. Wherever it touched, the roots of the green plants buried in the soil were severed along with the soil, and the plants withered. In the blink of an eye, the terrifying plants that had covered most of the sky collapsed to the ground!
Wen Yangyu not only couldn't put on a smile, but even his voice was cut off.
The beam of light grazed his hair, instantly stripping it away. His scalp burned with pain, but all Wen Yangyu could feel at that moment was... his own heart pounding wildly!
He was so close, so very close.
How could Qi Anming be so strong!
"Surrender."
Si Yisi repeated the sentence, his eyes unwavering, and his breathing even slightly labored.
The remaining resistance members of the protection association were all subdued by Kari, and in a short time they effectively occupied the protection association!
Wen Yangyu forced a smile: "No... that's impossible. You don't understand anything. The best way to resolve this chaos is for zombies and humans to live in harmony."
"They can love each other, and all past racial hatred can be erased!"
“You think you can run rampant in Anqing City just because you've taken over the Protection Association? With your small numbers,” Wen Yangyu said sarcastically, looking at the number of people from Shouguang, “ha… not even enough to fill a tooth gap.”
“You’re right, this is only a small number of people,” Ji Hefeng stated the facts. “Do you think Shouguang only has this many people? Where are the others?”
"Of course—we're going to attack the city," Si Yisi and Ji Hefeng said in unison.
Si Yisi and his team are the main force? Of course not!
The two of them and Yin Qiufan were only standing here to create the illusion that the entire Hunting Light force had come out; most of the Hunting Light members were there to attack the city!
"I never expected to actually catch such a big fish."
Si Yisi seemed to be looking at Wen Yangyu, but at this moment, a fair-skinned woman appeared behind Wen Yangyu.
Her face looked as if she had applied powder, and her appearance was as beautiful as a peach blossom in March.
At this moment, the woman stood there weakly and spoke softly to Si Yisi and the others: "We...we were forced to do this."
“We belong to a state agency and are responsible for handling all sorts of shady matters. A high-ranking official believes that your actions seriously threaten the future of humanity, so he sent us to kill you!”
Her voice rose: "We didn't want to do this either—but they can't tolerate you! They want to get rid of you, to get rid of Shouguang!"
The woman's words were truly infuriating. Her voice was low and hoarse, unlike her gentle appearance, and carried a resentful, suppressed anger.
What did she mean by that?
Some felt that the Lightbringer was in their way and wanted to kill their own kind first. They were even willing to cooperate with zombies for this!
Most of the Hunters clenched their fists, their anger involuntarily revealing a desire to kill the mastermind behind it all! They unanimously believed eight-tenths of the woman's words, and their minds were filled with the thought of killing those disgusting guys on the spot!
"How awful! How hateful!"
"Who's behind this? Why are they trying to wipe us out? What have we done to offend them?!"
“It’s because they have all of humanity under their control,” the woman replied to the roars of some of the Hunters of Light.
In this moment of intense emotion, Si Yisi remained remarkably calm. He seemed to believe what the woman had said, and clenched his fists as he prepared to walk over to her and ask her for more details.
Everyone thinks so —
However, Si Yisi stepped forward and said to the woman, "You're blocking my way."
Leaving aside the woman's surprised expression, Si Yisi continued, "Whether there really is someone who wishes to kill Shouguang is another matter, but I don't understand why a King-level zombie would care so much about us humans?"
Yes—a King-level zombie.
The big fish Si Yisi was talking about was never Wen Yangyu, but the woman in front of her who looked too weak!
No one would have imagined that a King-level zombie would stoop so low as to lie in an attempt to deceive the people of Hunting Light.
But if she actually succeeds, humans might fight amongst themselves before they can kill the zombies—
Although the words spoken by this King-level zombie couldn't stand scrutiny, weren't all the members of the Hunting Light Sect unanimously convinced of her entire story? It's obvious that this is one of the special abilities of a King-level zombie!
But... Si Yisi, this oddball, was never fooled by the King-level zombie from beginning to end!
The matter he casually mentioned dealt a heavy blow to the people of Shouguang—pulling them out of their state of confusion and making them realize the formidable enemy they faced!
The King-level zombie, with the beautiful face of a woman, reached out her slender arm lightly towards Si Yisi. Just as her hand was not far from Si Yisi, a cold light stole Si Yisi's attention.
The human-like hand shed its disguise the instant it approached Si Yisi, transforming into a pair of sharp claws—
The black fingernails were bright and eye-catching, and they were covered with the toxins of a king-level zombie, which could turn humans into zombies!
