Chapter 166 The Hunting Capital (Part 9)
Si Yisi's face is very well-known. Before the apocalypse, probably only people in the nearby circles knew him. But with the drastic population decline after the apocalypse, he became very popular, and probably nine out of ten people know him.
His sudden appearance on the screen was shocking. Everyone knew that Qi Anming had been captured by the zombies who called themselves new humans using underhanded tactics, and no one had ever thought that he could come back alive.
But now Si Yisi is standing here talking perfectly fine?
Many people instinctively felt that this was a trap. But as soon as this thought arose, the scene on the screen trembled slightly, the camera zoomed out, and the mess in front of Si Yisi was clearly revealed to everyone.
Countless zombies lay piled together as far as the eye could see; their cloudy eyes and grayish-white skin were impossible to conceal, and black bloodstains stretched out, almost forming a winding path...
The bloodstains disappeared beneath Si Yisi's feet, leaving not a single stain on his white shoes.
Standing beside him were several familiar-looking ability users: "Vulcan," "Shadow Demon," and "Mechanic."
Many people recognized that this was the scene of the Newtype Hunting Grounds game!
Si Yisi just spoke up—he was a participant in the hunting ground game, so did he turn the tables and kill the new humans to gain dominance?
Sis continued, "The zombies threw me and a few others into a hunting game, wanting to watch us kill each other. They even promised to let the winner go—"
"But why should we listen to a bunch of invaders? They control everything, and our life or death is in their hands!" Si Yisi curled her lips into a cold yet intimidating smile.
"They want us to hunt each other, so why can't we hunt them instead?"
"Prey or hunter—the choice is yours!"
Ji Hefeng then added aptly: "The zombies who call themselves the new humans are creatures whose minds are filled with killing and tearing. The hunting grounds are a game specifically designed to imprison our consciousness; when consciousness dies, the body naturally dies as well."
Si Yisi concluded with a profound statement: "The sky has an end."
There is more than one way to break through this game, and what Si Yisi did was just the simplest and most direct shortcut.
I believe that if we give them some time, the problem of how to get out will be solved soon!
Nobody's a fool. They've gone this far, and those who have seen these images have a sudden realization.
The new humans are not the omnipotent beings they imagine, and even the game they manipulate is a "hoax"!
The sky has an end... What would happen if you broke that sky?
The sudden image froze the four contestants who had already started the hunting game. They silently retracted their bared fangs, their hearts burning with a scorching fire.
Some timid people didn't believe it and continued to cower in their hiding places, but many more who had been driven to the brink began to try to break out!
They began to cooperate on their own initiative. This ingenious scene of turning enemies into friends was completely incomprehensible to the new humans. At this moment, what filled their hearts was panic and fear.
The new humans had witnessed firsthand how humans treated their "fellow humans"—although they didn't verbally consider the mindless zombies as their own, and besides, most of their victories came from surprise attacks...
No wonder they lacked confidence!
They had been teasing the monkeys in the cage with amused and playful eyes, but now, when they met the monkeys' gazes, they felt as if they had inadvertently angered a group of ferocious beasts.
Before the battle even began, most of the new humans had already shown their fear, which was exactly the situation that Si Yisi and the human side wanted to see.
The players imprisoned in the hunting grounds tried every means to escape, while the humans outside finally stopped fleeing and lay low, preparing to fight the zombies again.
This battle was unavoidable, but Si Yisi's actions accelerated its outbreak. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing depends on the choices of the remaining humans!
However, Si Yisi had already glimpsed the dawn of victory. Humans are truly fascinating beings; they are like springs, and the pressure exerted on them by the new humans will sooner or later be repaid tenfold or a hundredfold.
What led them to victory was a brilliant and dazzling spirit and an indomitable will, something the zombies lacked, so they were destined to be utterly defeated in this racial war.
Si Yisi finished speaking in a calm yet powerful manner. Qi Anming was indeed a leader with a commanding presence. When he stood there and spoke, his words naturally carried a convincing power.
Ji Hefeng asked him, "Where are we going now?"
Si Yisi glanced at the scattered restraints on the ground: neck rings, anklets, earrings... The black instruments of torture carried an undisguised sense of humiliation.
He said softly, "Go and give the new humans a big gift."
"Let them know that being a person isn't so easy."
When they arrived at the first open hunting ground, it had already been occupied by humans. Several zombie bodies were scattered on the ground, and the crystal cores in their heads had all been dug out.
However, there were only about ten zombie bodies here, which is clearly an incorrect number.
Where did the rest of the zombies go? This question made Si Yisi and his team instinctively on high alert.
In special circumstances, all abnormal situations deserve attention. People in the apocalypse are used to this kind of tense life and naturally show a kind of xenophobia.
trust……
Si Yisi discovered what this hastily assembled team lacked most.
He and Ji Hefeng can completely trust each other, but that doesn't mean the whole team does. Over time, such a team will fall apart, so…
Si Yisi had an idea.
However, now was not the time to put it into practice. He watched as An Chengshuang, Ji Hefeng, and the others first released a circle of small mechanical creatures, then a circle of fires, before cautiously venturing inside.
But Si Yisi's gaze immediately turned to the small door on the stage.
"Is there anything there?" An Chengshuang noticed a slight displeasure on Si Yisi's face.
Si Yisi twitched her finger: "All I saw was a group of... thugs."
Yes, thugs. The mechanical creatures turned the handle of the small door, and what came into view were humans with twisted smiles.
They wore cheerful expressions, their mouths stretched wide upwards, like... a bunch of clowns.
The violent and ruthless light in these people's eyes didn't dissipate when they glanced at Si Yisi and his group, making people feel suffocated.
On the large screen in front of these people was an image of a familiar hunting ground called "Ruined City," except that the creatures struggling and killing each other had become zombies.
The zombies thrown into the pit had their bloodlust ignited; they were determined to tear their fellow zombies limbs apart and beat their flesh until it was deeply dented.
Ignoring their overly human-like forms, what is projected here are monsters whose sole purpose is to kill.
The scene was exhilarating, but the smiles of the onlookers added an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
……wrong.
Many people in Si Yisi's team felt a wake-up call and couldn't help but frown.
This one-sided abuse was nothing like the satisfying way Si Yisi dealt with the zombies; it only made their scalps tingle and gave them a strange sense of déjà vu.
This scene... seems familiar to them.
The person closest to the small door recognized Si Yisi. He smiled and gestured for Si Yisi to see their masterpiece: "Look, how satisfying!"
Right next to the large screen, the zombies that had disappeared were soaking in a nutrient pool. The zombies were arranged in a kneeling, kowtowing position, with their faces and necks submerged below the water's surface.
"This is all thanks to you, Savior!" Someone praised Si Yisi's actions so highly that they almost lauded him to the heavens.
Faced with such overflowing praise, Si Yisi's response was to raise her hand and throw a dark, sharp blade at him.
It pierced the brains of the zombies thrown into the nutrient pool with unparalleled accuracy, causing them to fall into complete silence!
The battle on the big screen also stopped when their real bodies "died".
"You!" The man's smile vanished, and he stared at Si Yisi with wide eyes, filled with astonishment.
He quickly clenched his fists in anger, probably wanting to rush up and question Si Yisi about why she did this!
Before he could prepare himself, Si Yisi rushed up and gave him a response: "What you're doing now isn't hunting, it's sadism."
"If you inflict the same pain on you as others, what difference is there between you and a zombie?"
Si Yisi succinctly pointed out the strong sense of déjà vu felt by the group: their feeling of familiarity stemmed from…
These people's expressions were no different from those of the crazy, bloodthirsty zombies!
It's like assimilation... how can people not feel repulsed?
The man's expression froze, his clenched fist suddenly relaxed, his jaw clenched, and his face alternated between pale and flushed. After a while, he even clutched his stomach and dry heaved—
Perhaps, he realized that he resembled a zombie.
This was a devastating blow to a human who hated zombies!
Si Yisi quietly watched the changes in this person's emotions and expressions. He turned to Ji Hefeng and said, "I think they need external constraints, such as an organization."
“Yes,” Ji Hefeng also paused and looked at the man, without intending to refute, “The momentary torture of zombies may feel very pleasurable, but then what?”
"People need a constraint to stay sober, otherwise even if all the zombies are wiped out, humanity will never be able to return to the peace it once was."
"Do you want to start an organization?" Ji Hefeng asked Si Yisi curiously.
"Yes." This was an idea that Si Yisi had not long ago, but it was not immature at all. On the contrary, it had been continuously added to and perfected by Si Yisi to the point that it was almost flawless.
What will it be called?
Ji Hefeng could see that Si Yisi was confident and he understood that Si Yisi must already have a plan in mind.
The name-choosing idiot, Si Yisi, answered seriously: "...Upholding the core socialist values to develop a hunting organization?"
Si Yisi's dark eyes were fixed on Ji Hefeng, as if asking for his opinion.
"...It's too long." Ji Hefeng couldn't bring himself to agree against his will.
