Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Chief Steward Wu... how many people are we going to kill tonight?"

"A blood-soaked assassin asked breathlessly."

He came from a ruined city slum.

He used to be a manager at a courier company and had never killed anyone.

His hands trembled violently when he got blood on them.

But... it was really awesome.

He personally killed these outsiders who drove him out.

He had never felt so exhilarated.

"Don't count."

"The warehouse ghost said calmly."

"Counting will affect how fast you kill people."

The assassin felt a chill run down his spine.

Of course, some of them resisted very fiercely.

But their resistance seemed so weak in the face of the elite assassins trained by the warehouse ghost.

Thousands of men, from different directions, drove people toward their last refuge while killing them.

Some people fled into the ruined city.

To enter the inner city from the outer city, one must pass through an extremely high city wall.

This circular city wall divides the ruined city into two worlds.

In the pouring rain, their shouts and cries for help sounded particularly weak, and even the guards at the city gate, who were dozing off with their guns, didn't hear them at all!

In the end, they were dragged back by the men in black raincoats who arrived and hacked to death.

Thousands of suicide soldiers fought a bloody battle throughout the night, eventually forcing those people to their last piece of land—a relatively well-built underground fortress.

Zhao Yi's assassins gathered here. He carried the constantly dripping blood-dripping sword and entered the underground fortress together with several highly skilled assassins from the warehouse.

The seemingly sturdy gate was as fragile as candy wrapper under Zhao Yizhan's true damage!

The warehouse ghost walked ahead, blocking all the traps on the road for Zhao Yi.

boom!

He kicked open the door to the innermost conference room of the fortress, and the people inside immediately unleashed a barrage of weapons at him!

Various props and weapons, or even soul weapons.

pity……

These attacks seemed so weak and powerless in the face of a truly formidable ferocious beast!

Zhao Yi entered only after the warehouse ghost had completely subdued these people.

The smell of tobacco and the dust after the rain couldn't mask the strong, pungent stench of blood.

"I know that most of you are gamers."

Zhao got straight to the point, pulling over a chair and sitting down.

Looking at those people whose faces held a mixture of fear, coldness, and shock, he smiled and said:

"So...you should get to know me."

Zhao Yi is very popular on the Yongye Forum.

Any player who has ever watched a live stream or chatted on a forum will be familiar with his appearance and name.

"Zhao Yi...do you know what you're doing?"

A woman, soaking wet, clutched the wound on her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Zhao Yi.

That damn Zhao Yi...

Without a word, they went so far as to massacre the guild that these players had worked so hard to build!

Isn't he afraid of incurring public wrath?!

Moreover... how exactly did Zhao Yi manage to recruit so many terrifying assassins?

They even came up with a near-major hazard!

Zhao Yi sighed:

"I didn't want it to be like this either."

"But you're operating entertainment venues on my turf and collecting protection money everywhere. Isn't that against the rules?"

Upon hearing this, the woman was stunned, then angrily retorted:

"Your territory?"

"When did this place become your territory?"

"Zhao Yi, let me tell you, this abandoned city has absolutely nothing to do with you, understand?"

"If you act recklessly here, those big shots above you will turn the tables and tear you to pieces!"

Zhao Yi shrugged and laughed:

I don't like the tone of your voice.

He pulled out a huge shredder, and the warehouse ghost understood immediately. He grabbed the female player and, amidst her screams, threw her directly into the shredder.

Boom—

The shredder churned for a moment, and soon the female player was reduced to a pile of minced meat.

She doesn't have any resurrection items.

Zhao Yi glanced at the other people in the room, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

"I opened a bar in this abandoned city, and you're saying... I have to pay you protection money, is that it?"

A deathly silence pervaded the vast conference room.

A short while later, a fierce-looking man in the crowd forced a smile and said in a humble voice:

"Brother Zhao...please calm down..."

"These are the rules of this abandoned city, and we're just following them..."

"And at that time, we had no idea you were going to open a bar in the ruins..."

"If we had known it was you, we definitely wouldn't have tried to collect protection money from you!"

Zhao Yi suddenly realized:

"oh……"

"I don't know?"

"So that's how it is..."

"Is this all a misunderstanding?"

The man nodded hurriedly and said:

"Ah, right, right, right!"

"Misunderstand!"

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

Zhao Yi squinted and smiled:

"How come I heard that the sign outside the bar with my name on it was thrown on the ground and trampled on, and someone even urinated on it?"

The vicious man was immediately horrified and said:

"Absolutely not!"

"Even if we did, we didn't do it!"

Zhao Yi waved his hand:

"Okay, I won't pursue this matter."

Let's get straight to the point—

"I spared your lives tonight because I want all your assets in the ruined city."

"You have to leave the money before you can leave."

Although his tone was calm, it carried an undeniable domineering quality that was impossible to refuse!

Upon hearing Zhao Yi's words, the faces of everyone present turned pale instantly.

Leave behind all assets?

How is that possible?

You have to know how much effort they put into these seemingly few commercial structures in the outer city of the ruined city!

After going through so much trouble to finally secure this small piece of land in the outer city of the ruined city, are we now going to have to give it up?

Someone couldn't hold back any longer and shouted with wide eyes:

"Zhao Yi!"

"This cake is so big...you can't finish it all by yourself!"

"You'll eat yourself to death!!"

Zhao Yi said very seriously:

"I can finish it."

He raised his hand, and the person who was yelling at him was thrown directly into the shredder.

It roared loudly.

The body shredder started working again.

The others could barely breathe as they listened to the chilling sound!

Many people actually know in their hearts that they have no other choice.

The outer city of the abandoned city... has no police station at all.

Tonight, the bigwigs from the inner city are also taking their people to discuss some business.

Nobody can help them!

If you don't pay... you'll die!

Even knowing this, most of them are still unwilling to let go!

Can not accept!

The players clenched their fists tightly.

He cursed Zhao Yi in his heart!

How dare he... how dare he so brazenly drive them out of the ruined city?

"Zhao Yi!"

"You're ruthless!"

Finally, one person couldn't withstand the pressure and handed over his asset certificates from the outer city to Zhao Yi.

To open entertainment and dining establishments such as restaurants, milk tea shops, and KTVs in the outer city of the abandoned city, one must submit a relevant engineering request agreement in the inner city.

Only after approval will the people in the inner city grant these players the right to use the land!

If Zhao Yi kills them without their proof of assets, their land use rights will be revoked by the system.

If Zhao Yi had to submit another application to the inner city, things would have become extremely complicated!

At least tonight... we need to collect asset certificates from most people.

These asset certificates are Zhao Yi's bargaining chips when he turns around to negotiate with the adults in the inner city!

Looking at the asset certificate in his hand, Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow and said:

"You did a great job."

"Now, stand on the left and separate yourself from them... so that you don't get blood splattered on you and can't wash it off."

The man breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

I walked to the left side of the conference room.

Seeing this scene, some people gritted their teeth and handed over their asset certificates to Zhao Yi one by one!

Later, more and more people appeared on the left, while fewer and fewer people appeared on the right.

finally.

Faced with the threat of death, they all chose to submit.

"We've handed over the goods to you, can you let us go now?"

Someone said coldly, their fists clenched tightly!

This grudge... I will avenge it one day!

Zhao Yi looked at the large stack of asset certificates in his hand and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Walk?"

"Oh right... it's time for you to leave."

After he finished speaking, he gave the bewildered players a polite smile, and then...

I left the room and locked the door.

The players shifted their gaze to the Warehouse Ghost, whose body was covered in red blood spikes, and, sensing the overwhelming killing intent emanating from him, seemed to finally understand…

Inside the room, over a hundred agonizing screams from men and women echoed, along with the constant roar of a body-shredding machine…

PS: Second update. I'll write another chapter while cooking dinner for my family tonight.
