The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 69 Implicated
Five people, two camps.

On one side are He Lili and Hu Caigen who are stuck together, and on the other side are Huo Zhaohui and his family of three.

The two camps were clearly divided and neither side approached the other.

He Lili pretended to be affectionate with Hu Caigen, but in fact her eyes were full of vigilance. She felt that this family of three was a little different, and that the sense of crisis that the investigation team gave her was somewhat similar. If she acted rashly, she might be in danger.

Huo Zhaohui's family also pretended to take care of little Huo Huo and told him not to look at anything inappropriate.

"Hu Caigen's vitality has been greatly reduced. It seems that he has fallen into He Lili's trap." When Xiao Huohuo came to the playground, he discovered Hu Caigen's abnormality, but this was Hu Caigen's own choice because he was attracted by He Lili's beauty. Xiao Huohuo had no intention of interfering.

"He deserves it. We have a mission to accomplish, there's no need to create unnecessary trouble." In just two days, Huo Zhaohui had become dirty.

Yesterday, he took great pains to dig up the ruins of the Civic Center just as the sun was about to set. As a result, all the destroyer eggs that were supposed to be hiding under the Civic Center were gone.

"Could it be that our data is wrong, and the vandals' actions yesterday weren't meant to lay eggs?"

As a scientific researcher, Huo Zhaohui questioned the information in his mind for the first time.

It was Xiao Huo Huo who discovered a trace of corrosion at the scene. It was left when the insect eggs sprayed mucus to extinguish Huo Ying's fire spear.

"No, the destroyers are indeed laying eggs, but someone got rid of them before us." Xiao Huo Huo pointed at the corroded ground and said, "This saliva is the same as that secreted by the destroyers, but it is much less than that of adult destroyers. It is obviously from larvae. It takes a week for the eggs to hatch. It is obvious that someone broke the stone wall of the eggs and forced them to defend themselves."

After listening to Xiao Huo Huo's analysis, Huo Zhenni was shocked. "It's impossible. Even explosives can't blow up the defenses of the insect eggs. How can someone in Ailing Town break the stone wall and kill the insect eggs without making any sound?"

The city of XN has been studying the Destroyers for a long time, and has just discovered that carving runes of dispel on the eggs can make the larvae forget to grow and die directly in the stone wall.

If you want to break the stone wall head-on, explosives and grenades are useless. XN City needs to take out missiles to destroy the stone wall. In addition, infected people with enhanced attack power can also destroy the stone wall, but the greater the power consumed, the higher the risk of the infected person's infection getting out of control. XN City is reluctant to sacrifice the infected, so it has been researching day after day and discovered the wonderful use of the dispel rune.

"Don't forget, our target this time is a level 3 infected person." Huo Zhaohui looked at Xiao Huo Huo, and when he saw Xiao Huo Huo nodded, he continued to analyze: "Although our work was in vain, we also got two good news. This level 3 infected person should be mainly using enhanced attacks, otherwise he would not be able to get rid of the eggs so quickly without making any noise."

"Another reason is that the infected people in Ailing Town care about humanity and have a spirit of dedication. They would rather increase the risk of an outbreak of the infectious disease than to deal with the potential crisis for the town." Huo Zhaohui smiled: "Very good, the success rate of our mission this time is higher, and the target is a person who is very easy to control."

The kinder a person is, the more principled they are in doing things; and principles are weaknesses; people with principles are easier to control than those without principles.

“Our task now is to contact all residents of the town as quickly as possible, and then profile these people to find the third-level infected people we need.”

How to contact all the residents of the town as quickly as possible? It is definitely unrealistic to search door to door. This is why Huo Zhaohui and the other two came to the playground to gather. They decided to wait and see. As long as they live in the town, their goal will definitely be to trade with the residents of the town or the couriers. Seeing Huo Ying enter the playground, Huo Zhaohui did not say hello, but just gave Huo Ying a cold look.

Huo Chaohui even felt resentful towards Huo Ying in his heart. If Huo Ying had not refused to help yesterday, they might have been able to dig up the ruins earlier and even run into the third-level infected people who went to the ruins to deal with insect eggs.

As for whether Huo Ying might be a level 3 infected person, this option had already been ruled out by Huo Chaohui and the other two.

On the other side, He Lili and Hu Caigen saw Huo Ying coming in, and both of them looked a little surprised.

He Lili was surprised that she could not sense the ghost child she released yesterday. Hu Caigen was surprised that Huo Ying did not seem to be abnormal after being invaded by the ghost child.

"Go, find a way to make a deal with him, or provoke him again." He Lili ordered Hu Caigen softly.

Hu Caigen lowered his head timidly, but a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

He Lili said this because the ghost boy must have failed to control Huo Ying, which means that the wooden man Huo Ying in front of her has a way to deal with He Lili.

Should I ask him for help?
Before Hu Caigen made a decision, Huo Ying actually walked towards Hu Caigen and He Lili.

"You two wanted to trade charcoal with me yesterday, right? Tell me, what do you want to trade?" Huo Ying challenged Hu Caigen with a disdainful voice, "Since you have the ability to support women, you must have some good things. This is just one chance. If you can't come up with something valuable, I will never trade with you again."

Oops!

Hu Caigen was dumbfounded. He understood the meaning of Huo Ying's words. Huo Ying was actually jealous of him and showing off his financial strength in front of He Lili.

Hu Caigen felt somewhat desperate. The guy who in his eyes might become his savior actually became interested in He Lili, a married woman. In this case, if he said anything, Huo Ying would definitely not believe him.

Huo Zhaohui, who was not far away, heard what Huo Ying said, shook his head in amusement, and then whispered: "I said it before, how could this kind of garbage be related to the third-level infected people? When you have enough food and clothing, you will think about sex. With some resources, you don't want to leave this small place and move to a safer place. All you think about is playing with women."

Xiao Huo Huo's eyes were cold: "He is finished. He Lili is very strange. Hu Caigen is obviously exhausted. It seems that the next one is this wooden man."

Huo Zhenni thought about it and couldn't help but say, "The wooden man hasn't been killed yet, so why don't we try to intervene? Dealing with He Lili might expose Xiao Huo Huo, but it's still possible to warn the wooden man and prevent him from being killed, right?"

Huo Zhaohui shook his head: "Don't use your tenderness in the wrong place. Some people should be saved, and some people should die. His behavior is his own fault. We don't need to care about him. Besides, letting He Lili mess around may not be a bad thing. If He Lili makes a big fuss, the third-level infected person may take action. We can just wait for He Lili to attract the third-level infected person out."

Huo Chaohui snorted. Doomsday has given everyone a chance to reshuffle, but the inferior people will always be the inferior people. The character and knowledge of the inferior people determine their fate!
