For him, studying was for earning scholarships; martial arts were his forte. This is the consequence of looking down on others. Zhang Nan could understand why Shen Yicheng couldn't see himself clearly; after all, how could a genius born into a privileged position and admired by others look down on ants at his feet?
The moment Zhang Nan saw Shen Yicheng, he realized that he instinctively disliked this kind of reckless person, just as Shen Yicheng disliked him.
Or rather, what he hated was this kind of lawless individual who always had someone to protect him no matter what he did. These unsuspecting domesticated pets should be torn apart and devoured by the wolves outside; how could anyone be willing to keep such useless good-for-nothings as pets?
Zhang Nan's dislike wasn't as superficial as Shen Yicheng's; he genuinely disliked idiots. However, he hadn't expected that Wang Quan, his roommate for four years, would know so little about his background, or rather, be completely ignorant of it.
He actually dared to plot against him! But Wang Quan was exactly as he expected—a spineless coward. All he did was laugh and joke around in the dorm with the other two idiots. When the three of them were bullied by other guys at school, they only dared to curse and grumble in their dorm room. A bunch of cowards who only know how to bully their own kind. How can such useless trash even exist...?
Zhang Nan was abandoned as a child and raised by the monks in the temple, who fed him one bite at a time. In his eyes, the most despicable creature in the world is the human being, hypocritical and despicable.
The abbot always advised him to let go, saying, "Others are like mirrors, reflecting our own inner thoughts. True subjugation is subduing the evil demon within our own hearts."
He had no demons in his heart; all he felt was hatred—hatred for the many fools and the utter boredom of the world.
Chen Yi and the others had successfully climbed over the woods and were running towards the place where the purification runes were stored.
Suddenly, the loudspeaker blared, announcing the elimination of someone from Chen Yi's team. Someone had been discovered, and the other side would soon realize it.
Chen Yi ran even faster; they needed to be faster, even faster.
Zhang Nan, who was leaning against something, was also startled by the broadcast. He snapped out of his reverie, and his slightly narrowed pupils slowly lifted. This was finally getting interesting.
They didn't take the main road, but instead went by the side. It seems these guys' setup was a bit rough.
However, these are the only ones available for now, so we'll just have to put up with it for now.
Instead of giving chase, he had his team herd the fleeing survivors to the stone slab.
Seeing the survivors, surrounded on the stone path, panicking and trying to draw strength from each other back to back, he smiled and activated the mechanism of the poisonous swamp mine. He watched in horror as the green gas slowly floated up from the cracks in the stone slabs, trying to escape but being surrounded by the fake humans outside the slabs.
They struggled, the infection value on the bracelets on their arms kept increasing, and finally turned completely red, and the sound of their elimination came from the air.
Taking advantage of the fact that this group had been discovered, the other teams in the bushes quickened their pace and ran towards their destination.
This was also a rule set by Chen Yi from the beginning: if anyone was discovered, everyone else should try their best to escape.
Zhang Nan, who was about to return to his original position, suddenly realized that there were so few people in the stone slab. He turned around again to confirm that there were only 5 people.
It seems that other little mice escaped while they were surrounding them.
It's really interesting; it's the struggling mice that are interesting, while eating them in one bite is not so interesting.
Zhang Nan smiled even more brightly as she looked ahead.
That was Chen Yi and the others' destination.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Nan did not send these people to pursue, but instead cleaned up the battlefield and waited for the next group of destined people.
Zhang Nan and his men launched a series of ambushes, reducing the number of attackers to less than 50 in a short period of time.
Of course, not all survivors were completely unaware. After the first stage, even those who were lucky enough to enter the second stage were only a minority; most still had some ability.
Chen Yi took the purification talisman and immediately headed to the altar. Time was of the essence; once Zhang Nan and the others had no one fall for the trap and had failed to ambush anyone, they would definitely move on to the next mission location.
By the time Chen Yi's team obtained the purification talisman, many members had already perished. It was then that Chen Yi noticed that there were many more small holes on the side of the altar than when she had obtained it, indicating that someone else had also obtained the god-slaying item, but she didn't know whether they were friend or foe.
Chen Yi could only hope for the time being that the survivors would obtain it, since Zhang Nan and the others were still ambushing near the purification talisman.
Just as the purification talisman was obtained, Zhang Nan arrived with his gang of fake humans.
The group stopped next to the clock, and one of them walked towards it.
The other survivors all knew something was wrong. The two sides suddenly became tense and started to pounce on the fake man. Chen Yi saw that someone was holding a god-slaying artifact that could eliminate anyone in one hit, whether they were a god or a demon.
Amidst the chaos, Zhang Nan glanced at Chen Yi and the purification item in her hand, and greeted Chen Yi with a smile.
Shen Yicheng stood between the two, glaring angrily, his clenched fists revealing his unease.
Chen Yi felt that something was wrong. Why would Zhang Nan suddenly launch a large-scale attack on the survivors? Although the survivors had eliminated many people and the fake humans had infection guns, the survivors had more powerful god-slaying tools.
Sure enough, Chen Yi discovered that several imposters had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak up on the altar.
By the time Chen Yi realized what was happening, the imposters had already sacrificed themselves to pollute the altar.
One fake human has contaminated 30%, and two fake humans have already contaminated it in succession. This must be stopped.
Chen Yi had no choice but to send the faster Shen Yicheng to stop the fake people who were getting close to the altar.
Shen Yicheng moved swiftly, arriving in just a few steps. He eliminated the remaining fakes and, looking at the altar with its pollution level already at 60%, felt an even deeper hatred for Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan appeared relaxed, but Chen Yi remained uneasy.
Sure enough, after the bell rang, another 20 people were eliminated, including survivors and imposters, and the scene became quite chaotic.
There are less than 30 people left on the scene. The ratio of fakes to survivors is approaching 1:1, and the survivors' advantage is gradually disappearing.
Zhang Nan then initiates a vote; those who vote incorrectly will be eliminated, further reducing the number of survivors.
What follows is the infighting among these hypocrites.
Chen Yi felt that Zhang Nan shouldn't let the ratio become unbalanced. If the ratio became unbalanced, he himself would be in danger. Without survivors, if the other fake people banded together to eliminate him first, he would be no match for them.
The others entered their names hesitantly, while Chen Yi pondered for a moment before finally entering a name.
The wait for the results was agonizingly long, and Chen Yi heard Shen Yicheng's name being eliminated.
She understood, she understood everything, what kind of trick Zhang Nan was playing.
Chen Yi met Zhang Nan's gaze across the crowd. He had a handsome face, but in the sunlight, it appeared cold, like a towering god looking down at people as small as ants.
