Excessive ferocity due to caution

When the system issued this task, it did not require Li Xiuer and Meng Fei to be alive.

However, to be fair, Zhao Yi didn't want the two of them to die like that.

Both Li Xiuer and Meng Fei were of great help to Zhao Yi's next move.

However, in order to increase the game's difficulty, the game system naturally wouldn't tell Zhao Yi where the two were.

The purpose was to reduce Li Xiuer's control over Nan Jia, thereby increasing the difficulty for Zhao Yi to participate in the game.

Therefore, both Li Xiuer and Meng Fei are facing great danger at this moment!

For example, they might encounter terrifying ghosts attacking them, or be attacked by other fleeing citizens...

Of course, Zhao Yi believed that both Li Xiuer and Meng Fei were capable of handling these direct dangers.

After all, the two of them had been wandering around the chaotic city for so many years, it was impossible for them not to have some means of self-protection.

What truly worries Zhao Yi is the hidden danger.

For example, a safe house.

Judging from the safe house where Nan Jia is located, there is definitely more than one such safe house in J City!

After all, it is a place where a large number of citizens seek refuge.

How can a venue that can only accommodate a thousand people be enough?

To put it another way—

Even if there is only one such shelter, it is most likely reserved for the high-class residents or wealthy people in the city, and there will definitely be many elite guards outside.

There was absolutely no way those exiled criminals could have entered the safe house immediately!

Therefore, it can be concluded that there is definitely more than one safe house in J City; there are many, many of them!

But this time, J City is facing a calamity that only one shelter can withstand.

That is, the safe house that Nan Jia is in, which is endowed with the power of rules by the game system.

Other safe houses... without the protection of the power of the rules, are no different from living coffins!

Meng Fei had survived the apocalyptic city and experienced all of these things.

He also possesses the Evil Eye, which allows him to see the markings given by the game system from an extremely long distance.

But Li Xiuer was different.

She had neither experienced such a catastrophe as Meng Fei, nor received any hints from the game system.

The only clue left for Li Xiuer was the words "safe house in the center of the city" that Meng Fei casually mentioned before entering the Doomsday City instance.

That's why Zhao Yi made the bald man stay in the safe house and keep broadcasting his location.

Perhaps other safe house survivors will do the same for some reason, to create confusion.

But if Li Xiuer hears Nan Jia's voice, she will choose to come to Nan Jia's side.

What Zhao Yi needs to do now is... clear out the more powerful ghosts near the safe house!

In case Li Xiuer and Meng Fei finally made it here, only to be killed by the ghosts.

This certainly involves some risks.

Because the monsters emerging from the deep sea above... will grow stronger and stronger.

Before long, Zhao Yi had to retreat back to the safe house.

...

In Tenghua Mall.

The people trapped here huddled together in fear.

Some of them were carrying guns.

But most of them don't.

It was a sunny day, and they were browsing for their favorite items in the mall.

But suddenly, an alarm sounded outside.

Just as they were horrified... the plastic mannequins in the mall actually moved!

These models were covered in cracks, blood flowing from them, their postures contorted, moving at incredible speeds…

Some people were dragged to secluded corners, and after the screams, they were never seen again...

But as the number of mannequins in the mall increased, the remaining people could roughly guess where those who had been abducted by the plastic mannequins had gone.

"No...no!!"

A middle-aged man screamed in fear.

As the contorted mannequin chased after him, he drew the pistol from his waist, aimed at the plastic mannequin, but hesitated to fire...

A moment later, he suddenly turned around and shot a fleeing man in the leg!

boom!

"ah!!"

The man screamed, clutched his leg, and collapsed to the ground.

The gunman quickly overtook him.

He was then dragged away by the plastic mannequin that caught up with him...

The gunman thought he was safe for the time being, but little did he know that he would soon be targeted by a mannequin...

After spotting him, the other person ran towards him like a madman!

The gunman screamed in terror and fled in another direction, shooting several other fleeing guests along the way.

At a glance, it seemed that the people in the huge mall who seemed to be armed had all fired their bullets at their companions.

This is a very interesting phenomenon.

When danger strikes, some people's first reaction is that as long as their companions can't run as fast as they can, they can survive.

So, they bravely picked up their weapons and swung them fiercely at their comrades!

Killing enemies requires courage, but killing comrades does not.

All you need to do is be ruthless enough.

"Don't chase me!!"

"Let's go after them!!"

The gunman was terrified as a plastic mannequin kept approaching him!

In the midst of his panicked escape, a dark hand suddenly appeared from the crowd and delivered a powerful kidney strike to his kidney!

The gunman let out a wail, his eyes glaring in anger, and collapsed to the ground clutching his back.

The excruciating pain prevented him from getting up, but his will to survive kept pushing him backward, trying to widen the gap between himself and the plastic mannequin!

However, this was in vain.

He raised the gun in his hand and aimed it at the plastic mannequin.

But when that cracked face with a strange smile appeared before him, the gunman ultimately lacked the courage to fire the shot.

He stared in despair.

Waiting to die.

The plastic mannequin dragged its leg along, walking gleefully into the dark corner.

One step, two steps.

Friction, friction.

The gunman collapsed to the ground, all his strength drained away.

He felt the darkness before his eyes growing ever darker.

Until finally, nothing could be seen anymore.

Death spread.

Just as his soul separated from his body, a sudden suction force pulled him back!

It is a ray of light.

Blade flash!

The sharp blade cleaved open the head of the plastic mannequin.

It was writhing inside with countless dense tentacles, enough to make anyone's jaw drop!

The plastic mannequin is trying to struggle.

But as the predators grew on its body, its strength and life were quickly drained away.

All that remained was a decaying shell.

The world before the gunman's eyes regained its color.

He was startled to see a man in a trench coat standing very handsomely in front of him, holding a plastic mannequin head in his left hand and a Tang sword in his right!

Oh!

He's so cool!

Like a peerless hero arriving riding on auspicious clouds of seven colors!

Was he here to save me?

The gunman thought so.

But the man with the knife left very quickly.

As the gunman watched the man's retreating figure, a nameless rage slowly rose within him.

He... he could have taken me away!

But he chose to abandon himself!

The gunman abruptly raised his gun, pointed it at the back of the stylish man in the trench coat, and shouted sharply:

"Take me with you when we leave, or I'll shoot you dead!"

At that moment, his courage suddenly returned to his body.

The man in the trench coat turned around.

It was Zhao Yi.

Faced with the man's threat, he slowly turned around and walked towards the man.

The gunman was overjoyed:

"right!"

"Carry me on your back!"

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yi stomped on the gunman's hand and crushed it!

The excruciating pain caused him to let out a piercing scream.

Many mannequins were attracted and surrounded Zhao Yi!

As the distorted models surrounded Zhao Yi, the gunman grinned cruelly.

"You can't escape!"

"This is the price you pay for hurting me!"

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Before he could finish his harsh words, he suddenly screamed hysterically.

His face turned ashen, then quickly turned a liverish color.

The blood vessels in my eyes were practically bursting open!

Zhao Yi used the special effects of the "Sister-Slaying Blade" to cut off his little brother.

A lump of flesh stained red with blood.

Remove the entire root.

Upon seeing this, the other mannequins inexplicably took a step back in unison.

Zhao Yi tilted his head slightly, looked at the plastic mannequins, and smiled:

"Don't rush."

"Your turn will be right away."

Swish!

The plastic mannequins scattered and fled into the distance!

Zhao lit a cigarette, took a slow drag, and shouted loudly:

"My darlings!"

"Are you hidden properly?"

"I...I'm coming?"

Stab it!

The sword dragged across the ground, leaving tracks and accompanied by a terrifying sound...

PS: 2500

One more chapter to write soon.

At worst, I'll get 7500 today; 8000 is definitely not a dream for me.

Hey there, what are you laughing at?

Are you questioning me?

it is good!

Since that's the case... then I forgive you!
