Deep in the Living

Chapter 611 Carnivorous
"Dad, why do you always sit there eating and spacing out whenever we go camping? Come and fly a kite with me."

Green grass,

Hunter looked ahead and saw tents and camping blankets, his wife and mother-in-law chatting, and a little boy holding a kite and waving at him.

When he subconsciously wanted to get closer,

A sound pierced the screen.

"Are you still daydreaming at such an important assessment site, Mr. Hunter?"

Hunter's view shifted back to the school playground. He didn't rush to look up, but instead used his fingers to pull open his collar and look at his own body.

Due to prolonged fasting, his abdominal muscles not only disappeared but also became sunken inwards, and the outline of his ribs became very obvious.

Most importantly, the little boy who should have been in the chest area was nowhere to be found.

It seems that, just as he said, the whole family went to sleep because they were so hungry.

It even felt like Hunter had lost the name of "The Carnivore's House," and that he was the only one standing there.

After confirming his physical condition, Hunter slowly raised his head and looked at his examiner, a young human man he had briefly seen in a corner before.

Although he doesn't eat meat, Hunter's sense of taste has actually improved quite a bit.

He could smell the scent on Yu Ze, which was quite different from when the other party first came to the corner.

"You've changed a lot."

Yu Ze scratched his head, looking relaxed. "I have to thank you, Mr. Hunter. I used to think I was something special, but I almost died when I ran into you."

After that incident, I thought a lot and did a lot.

Today I finally had the chance to give it a try.

Originally, I thought that the next time I saw you, it would be a real life-or-death battle. Who knew the situation would change so drastically, and you'd end up here.

Looking at Yu Ze's relaxed demeanor, Hunter commented softly, "You have a strong competitive spirit."

Yu Ze's smile slowly faded, and he replied softly, "Aren't you the same?"

"Yes."

"Shall we begin then?"

"bring it on."

Teacher Guo signaled the start of the assessment early on, and the conversation between the two or more people was a kind of reminiscing.

Yu Ze gently waved his hand, and the countless yellow talismans fell from the sky.

Apart from Roddy, all the monsters present, including the teachers, felt uncomfortable upon seeing the talisman; it was a simple psychological aversion.

This is not a corner's ability, but the effect of the system that Yu Ze connects to the world, a means specifically used to suppress evil.

Coincidentally,

Monsters are also classified as so-called evil beings, and such talismans have a very good suppressive effect. Yu Ze, who was still a minor in his early years, was directly selected for the special operations team because of this.

Hunter, however, did not move and showed no resistance to the approaching talismans.

He even looked up and stared intently at the yellow paper falling from the sky, his thoughts drifting back to the past.

They were in a completely sealed, abandoned factory, along with many other uneasy-looking people.

A monster with a gaping maw on its abdomen floats in the air, scattering large amounts of white paper. The contents written on the paper are their chances of survival.

"There is no food here, and you will have to spend the next hundred days here. I will guard outside, and anyone who shows any tendency to escape will become our free food."

After one hundred days, I will open the gate, and you can leave.

……

Snapped!
Just as Hunter was looking up, a yellow talisman fell down and stuck to his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, more yellow talismans were pasted on. The talismans took effect, suppressing the evil spirits.

Yu Ze's relaxed demeanor vanished.

Carrying the copper coin sword, he walked towards the other party.
He even bit his finger while moving forward and smeared the blood on the surface of the sword.

When you get close to the attack range
He thrust his sword forward.

The copper coin sword was about to pierce through the opponent's body.

hum!
Spatial disturbance,

Clang! Bloodstained copper coins scattered all over the ground.
Half of Yu Ze's body disappeared, and obvious bite marks could be seen on the wound on his waist and abdomen.

The yellow talismans stuck to Hunter gradually lost their effectiveness and fell off on their own, but something was wrong with what he was chewing.

Spit it out in one gulp.
The paper figure with the character "于" written on it was spat on the ground.

Looking up,
Yu Ze remained standing in the same spot as before, looking at him with some confusion:
"Hunter, why are you always in such a passive state? This is not like you at all. When I encountered you in the corner, you were very proactive."

I've simulated killing you many times, and your bites always hit me first.

What are you thinking about? You seem distracted.

If that's the case, I wonder if it might help you come to your senses.

Suddenly, Yu Ze produced a bronze magic bell. After ringing it, rotting, eerie arms sprouted from the ground where the yellow talisman had fallen. Following that...

More than a dozen zombies, refined from different monsters, dug out of the ground, and yellow talismans were placed on their foreheads.

These zombies all inherited their physical attributes from their previous lives.

The bell rang, and all the zombies immediately surrounded them from different directions.

however,
Hunter remained motionless, watching the approaching zombies. For some reason, he was once again drawn into memories, as if compelled, and he couldn't stop himself.

[Abandoned Factory, Day 5]

Some elderly people in poor health have already starved to death.

Driven by extreme hunger and with no way to escape, the desire to eat gradually began to cross moral boundaries, and these corpses became the only option.

There are too many monks and too little porridge.

After their hunger was satisfied for the first time, some people's eyes turned red.

They began to look at the other people in the factory, and soon spotted the Hunter family, because they had an elderly, disabled family member who was now on the verge of death.

That's also true.

They gathered around.

Waiting for the old man to die.

Driven by unbearable hunger, some people even began to make restless moves, wanting to kill the elderly quickly.

……

"Is this guy distracted again? What exactly happened to him before he arrived in Whirlpool Town?"

Yu Ze did not think that the Carnivorous Family was looking down on him, but could sense that the other party seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.

Keep ringing the dharma bell, ring ring!
These zombies were monsters that Yu Ze had killed in a corner, deliberately leaving their complete corpses behind. He then used the corpse-refining technique he learned from the connecting world to create them into zombies.

The refining process can enhance his understanding of magic, deepen his understanding of monsters and fear, and also provide him with such a good guard, which is a triple win.

current,

Under the influence of the talisman, these zombies were unleashed to their full potential, surrounding Hunter from all sides and about to bite him.

Yu Ze was stunned for a moment.
Hunter, who should have been surrounded by zombies a hundred meters away, was actually standing right in front of him.

The bell had been taken away and crushed in one hand.

Hunter, whose eyes had been somewhat dazed and confused before, now seemed like a completely different person: "You also like to manipulate others, don't you? You think you're superior, and the weak are all your pawns."

This did not mean that Ze would respond at all; he sensed that some great danger was approaching.

A buzzing sound echoed in my ears.

His head was already being bitten into Hunter's mouth.

not only that,

This enormous oral cavity was also filled with dozens of identical Yu Ze heads, but soon these heads lost energy and turned into fragmented paper figures.

On the playground,

All the yellow talismans that fell from the sky were bitten and torn apart, leaving tooth marks.

Yu Ze's true form was hidden in the shadows using a high-level invisibility talisman. A bead of cold sweat trickled down his face because all the paper figures he had set up had their heads bitten off just a moment ago.

There are no more stand-ins available.

There is no longer any way to test them.

Surprised.

An invisible mouth had already appeared behind Yu Ze.

One bite... crunch!

Hunter's expression changed slightly, and then he spat out a mouthful of thick, bloody phlegm mixed with a few pieces of tooth.

It was as if he had bitten into something harder than his teeth, and that feeling brought back memories of the past.

[Abandoned Factory - Day 15]

Hunter was gnawing on the corpse of an attacker when, in his heightened agitation, he failed to notice the bones and accidentally chipped a tooth from the attacker's rather hard thigh bone.

For some reason, he felt no pain at all; blood and tears mingled and kept dripping from the corners of his mouth.

The fragments of memory ended quickly.
When Hunter looked at Yu Ze again, Yu Ze had changed somewhat.

The Taoist robe was completely torn to shreds.
The upper body that was exposed was covered with densely packed text, in a dark gold color. The material used for this tattoo appeared to be some kind of gold powder, similar to the dust that enveloped Vortex Town.

The content of these texts is the Diamond Sutra.

The bite left a bleeding tooth mark on my back, but it didn't ruin the overall appearance.

Yu Ze took off his sunglasses, loosened his hair, and assumed a horse stance, adopting a Tai Chi starting posture.

"bring it on."
