Chapter 174 The Hunting Capital (Seventeen)
Hunting Light Base.
"Hey, what do you think Karimitsu will do to us?"
After witnessing Si Yisi's swift and decisive killings, the middle-aged man looked haggard and uneasy.
"How should I know!" the person he called out gritted his teeth. "Qi Anming is a madman, a pervert. Who knows how he'll torture us when he goes crazy!"
He also added his own perspective: "If we hadn't run, we would have ended up like those people. What kind of savior are they? Who knows what kind of filthy and corrupt people they are behind the scenes!"
"Oh."
A cold laugh came from the darkness. Yin Qiufan, expressionless, walked out of the darkness, dressed in all black except for her bright skin.
The man's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had been choked.
A ring of thorny black brambles was tightly constricting the man's neck, threatening to decapitate him at any moment.
"Now you know to shut up?"
Yin Qiufan lowered his head and scribbled something in his notebook. The black thorns then threw the person heavily to the ground and left him there.
There are always ways to deal with these troublemakers.
She patrolled around the area one by one, and I don't know what she wrote in her notebook.
However, screams echoed wherever Yin Qiufan went, and he eventually met with Ji Hefeng.
The group of people Ji Hefeng was in charge of was surprisingly quiet. He and Yin Qiufan exchanged a knowing glance.
Yin Qiufan glanced at the prisoners behind Ji Hefeng in surprise... Without exception, their hair had been singed and turned into an afro.
That's definitely a good idea; no one can remain calm when the fire is on them.
Unfortunately, the season and the wind have an overwhelming ability to manipulate the flames.
"Is it all resolved?"
"It's all taken care of."
They went straight to Si Yisi and placed two small notebooks on his desk.
"So many people?" Si Yisi flipped through the names on the list, then closed the notebook and gave a cold laugh. "I'll show them what real punishment is."
Abuse, torture? Of course not.
Hunting Light is in its development stage. It has already made an example of someone to deter others. It will take a different approach to deal with the remaining people whose crimes do not warrant death.
They prefer the zombie side, so let them be forced to fight off zombie attacks for several hours every day.
These zombies were likely the subordinates of Mei Yu, a king-level zombie. Among them, Si Yisi even saw some zombies transformed from people forced to die by the protection association.
Those injured by these zombies will become infected, and the Hunters have been equipped with appropriate protective gear. But what about the prisoners?
They had no connection whatsoever with the Hunters, so why were they enjoying the benefits of being members? They were forced to personally take to the front lines, fleeing in panic amidst an encirclement of zombies.
Seeing these people die, directly or indirectly because of them, is the biggest shock to them! Those rotting zombie faces and blackened fingertips will definitely become a nightmare that haunts their minds every day!
They suffered immense mental anguish, but were well taken care of in terms of food. Si Yisi also placed a protective barrier around them.
Si Yisi watched as the zombies swarmed towards Shouguang's group like locusts. Suddenly, one of the prisoners he had been watching bumped into a zombie—
He's deliberately trying to kill himself!
But just as this suicidal man was about to run into the zombie's sharp claws, countless black shadows wrapped him up completely like a dumpling!
They excitedly led the person to Si Yisi.
Si Yisi looked down at the man, a smile that was no different from that of a demon:
"Want to die? It's not that simple."
Is this the end? No, this is just the beginning.
All of Shouguang's resources will not be available to these people, which means they cannot engage in any entertainment. Except for the time when Shouguang provides them with food while fighting zombies, they can only fend for themselves and be self-sufficient at other times.
Some people have set their sights on some of Karihiro's vegetable fields, but these are all Karihiro's land, and there are powerful figures guarding them.
Want to steal vegetables? If you catch them, break one of their legs and let them enjoy a thrilling chase with zombies. Then heal the thieves the next day.
Si Yisi watched as these prisoners were forced to take on jobs that were looked down upon—but they didn't know that this was work that Si Yisi had deliberately arranged.
The people in charge of this work were actually very reluctant to let a group of novices do it. If Si Yisi hadn't spoken up, they would never have taken in these novices who were prisoners!
What kind of jobs are they?
Watering the vegetable garden with manure, cleaning up the rotting, stinking corpses of zombies, sweeping the streets...
"It stinks, it stinks!" Chen Haoqi, who had previously cursed Si Yisi, covered his nose and almost fainted from the stench.
But while he was arguing and bickering, a burly man in his group wouldn't stand for it.
He grabbed Chen Haoqi by the collar, wiping the zombie filth from his gloves all over his clothes. Chen Haoqi immediately felt dizzy, and inhaled even more of the suffocating smell!
"Get to work properly!" the burly man shouted, brandishing his fist and glaring menacingly. "Or I'll blow your head off!"
Chen Haoqi worked reluctantly, his body covered in dirt. When it came time to settle the day's wages... he received half as much as the man next to him!
He glanced at the man's bulging muscles, then, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he viciously demanded his wages from the short old man who was distributing them.
"What's going on? My wages are shortchanged! Did you embezzle them?!"
As he spoke, Chen Haoqi tried to shove the half-blind old man.
"Huh?" The old man exclaimed, and Si Yisi, who was watching the surveillance footage, revealed a look of anticipation.
Then Chen Haoqi discovered that the old man was completely still, and his hand was stuck in the mud! Not only that, his body seemed to be filled with more and more mud, like a sculpture, unable to move at all!
He heard the old man scoff disdainfully: "If you don't have the skills, don't take on a job you can't handle. Since you don't care about the money, then you don't need it!"
After saying that, Chen Haoqi was stunned and was thrown to the ground. He was lying next to a zombie!
The rotting zombie was almost face to face with Chen Haoqi, who had fallen, and an indescribable stench filled Chen Haoqi's nose.
His eyes rolled back and he fainted!
The old man spat all over Chen Haoqi's body and smeared some messy stuff on his face: "Looking like this, you might as well go and water the manure!"
"You're right, sir."
Si Yisi's smiling voice came over the nearby loudspeaker: "That's right."
Who does Chen Haoqi think he is? The old man in front of him is a high-level superhuman whose entire body is covered in mud, while Chen Haoqi is just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to show off!
They're not even worthy to carry my shoes!
After responding to the old man, Si Yisi quickly shifted his attention away from the group of prisoners.
Without his oversight, these people would inevitably live a miserable life. They would be like rats crossing the street, hated and chased by everyone. The voices of those who loathed and despised them would flood their ears like a tidal wave... They wouldn't be able to ignore them!
They were the lowest-ranking laborers in the Hunting Light, until the day they paid their dues.
Ha... Si Yisi can tell at a glance whether these people have truly repented or not. Those who have repented will of course be punished, but obviously they will have an easier time than those who are still stubborn!
Si Yisi narrowed her eyes.
He straightened his clothes, put on a fitted combat suit, and stood up.
He no longer paid attention to the prisoners, which meant that someone else was going to be in big trouble!
Ultimately, Si Yisi only needed to make sure that the prisoners were not doing well. He would not keep an eye on their movements all the time or cheer for their misfortunes. Some people might do that, but Si Yisi would never do that!
Dwelling on past pain is the act of a coward.
Those with true willpower will naturally persevere and nip the problem in the bud.

"Da, da."
The young woman stared blankly at the bloodthirsty King-level zombie before her, while the headless Low-level zombie lay side by side with her brethren.
What a chaotic and evil scene!
Black and red blood mingled together, turning the entire room into a hellish scene.
The king-level zombie licked the blood from its fingertips and revealed a greedy look towards the last surviving human.
He reached out his hand and slowly walked towards the woman.
The young woman trembled and closed her eyes, but as the footsteps drew closer, she felt no bleeding...
She opened her eyes and saw Si Yisi wearing a tight black trench coat.
His figure was slender yet powerful, like a straight, tall bamboo. Dark cufflinks gleamed against Si Yisi's clothes, and a pair of black boots were now firmly planted on the hand of the King-level zombie.
Black blood splattered out, but it didn't stain Si Yisi's clothes at all. Only his calm and deep eyes took in the black blood, as if they had completely swallowed the filthy blood.
The young woman reached out her hand to Si Yisi.
It was a completely subconscious act, like a pilgrimage, or like a dying person grasping at the last straw.
Si Yisi did not avoid the young woman's touch, even though her hands were covered in blood.
He didn't seem to mind at all and bent down to let the kneeling young woman hold his hand.
Am I... saved?
“Yes, you’re saved,” Si Yisi said softly. “Go to sleep, and when you wake up, all the nightmares will be gone.”
"good……"
The young woman's body went limp, and her long-stressed body finally relaxed.
She fainted.
"Don't you humans also eat pigs, cows, and sheep? Why are we zombies not allowed to hunt them?" The king-level zombie gently stroked its broken hands and looked at Si Yisi with its reddened eyes.
It was filled with...greed.
“It’s no use,” Sis told him. “I did this simply because I couldn’t stand it.”
Also for the sake of—the mission.
But were there any other factors besides the mission? Si Yisi didn't think about it, but his subconscious told him... there probably were.
Si Yisi curled his lips into a smile, light and shadow becoming his weapons, for him...
Overcome all obstacles!
Si Yisi moved through several cities guarded by King-level zombies, like a black phantom born from the cities themselves.
Si Yisi won't stop until he's had his fill! Let him see... if these King-level zombies can bring him more surprises!
Si Yisi struck his enemy, the sharp light so intense it blinded him.
Hunting, hunting! Naturally, we should do whatever makes us happy!
