Excessive ferocity due to caution

"I think I must be crazy to have come out looking for Zhao Yi..."

Luo Qili took a deep breath.

She knew it was dangerous in the fog, but she still came out.

This stems from her unconditional trust in Zhao Yi.

In her heart, Zhao Yi gave her a greater sense of security than the campfire at the campsite.

Upon entering the vast fog, the group immediately felt fluctuations in their sanity.

They dared not stray too far from the firelight.

He gripped the torch tightly and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

You should be grateful for your actions.

Li Liangchao said this.

He was calm, but an incredulous glint flashed in his eyes.

"That Zhao Yi guy... he's really too cunning!"

Li Liangchao chose to use the word "cunning" to describe Zhao Yi.

Wang Chui sighed sincerely:

"indeed."

"General Long made the right choice in sending you with me to deliver the message."

Luo Qili glanced at Wang Chui, seemingly confused yet understanding something.

"What kind of riddle are you playing?"

As Li Liangchao carefully searched the ground for clues left by Zhao Yi, he explained:

"Zhao Yi didn't go to the toilet... he was saving us."

Luo Qili was stunned.

"Save us?"

Li Liangchao replied:

"That's right."

"Do you remember what Captain Wang mentioned not long ago about the mutants controlled by parasite infection?"

"There are indeed infected people in our team."

At this point, Li Liangchao paused, his tone tinged with admiration:

"You must think that the problematic person in the team... is Captain Wang, right?"

Luo Qili glanced at Wang Chui.

She is ready to fight at any time.

But Wang Chui did not make a move; he merely cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

"That guy Zhao Yi... he lied to all of us..."

"We've shifted all our attention to Captain Wang."

Luo Qili frowned:

Why did he do that?

Li Liangchao replied:

"To lower the guard of that mutant in the team!"

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and said:

"Otherwise, do you think we could so easily use finding Zhao Yi as an excuse to leave the camp tonight?"

Luo Qili's memory swept over all of them... and suddenly she understood!

"You mean... the problem isn't with Wang Chui, but with that always quiet Su Di?"

Wang Chui then chimed in:

"I didn't know who in the team was the problem... so I tested Lee Dong-hoon and Geon-do one after the other."

"Neither of them has any problems."

"And the four of you were personally selected for me by General Long, so there won't be any problems."

"So... the problem naturally lies with Sudi."

"Like Lee Dong-hoon and Geon-du, she was a messenger who was recommended and selected by others."

Luo Qili remembered that when she and Zhao Yi were whispering on the way, that woman was right in front of them, and she immediately got goosebumps all over her body!

"So... the city has really fallen?"

Wang Chui shook his head:

"not yet."

"The city has indeed been invaded by mutants, but the situation is still under General Long's control..."

"It's only a matter of time before it collapses."

"This time, we sent a message claiming to be asking Pulse City for weapons, but actually we were asking them for help in dealing with the mutants in the city."

Li Liangchao suddenly reached out and stopped everyone from moving forward.

"etc!"

He crouched down and examined it carefully.

"really……"

"He left us clues."

"Going to the toilet was just a pretext. He used that brief moment when Sudi's vigilance was lowered to help us escape her control..."

Luo Qili thought about it carefully:

"I still don't understand..."

"If Sudi is so strong that we can't handle her at all, she could have easily taken us out of the city soon after leaving. Why would she stay hidden among us?"

Li Liangchao identified a direction and led the group there.

"because……"

"Sudi's goal... or rather, the real goal of those mutants who left the city, is not to kill us."

"Instead, we'll use our power to help her...enter Pulse City!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qili's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

She looked at Wang Chui:

"Captain Wang, are mutants very intelligent?"

Wang Chui nodded:

"Not entirely. In fact, mutants infected by parasites are often quite stupid."

"But those who have mutated due to certain unknown entities within the Black Disaster are extremely difficult to deal with..."

He had barely finished speaking when Fang Jiandu suddenly said:

There was blood on the ground.

Everyone looked in the direction Fang Jiandu was pointing.

Sure enough, there was still some fresh blood on a small, protruding rock!

"Let's go take a look..."

Wang Chui led the way, and the torches in their hands dispelled the fog ahead.

Beside the enormous chasm in the distance, a familiar figure stood...

He turned his head, and the eerie look on his face, half of which was stained with blood, startled the group!

Upon seeing that it was Zhao Yi, the group breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you alright?

Wang Chui went forward to check and found several corpses lying at Zhao Yi's feet, cut into pieces.

It's unclear what kind of creature it is.

But it is definitely not human.

"We're in big trouble."

Zhao Yi spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the group's hearts sank to the bottom.

Especially Luo Qili and Li Liangchao.

What kind of trouble could make Zhao Yi think it's "big"?

"What did you discover?"

Wang Chui organized a few people to gather all the torches together and make a small campfire again.

Zhao Yi said:

"Some terrible thing happened in the east... Almost all the mutated creatures... whether they are parasites or ghosts, are fleeing this way."

"In just two or three days, they'll run right into us!"

Wang Chui was curious:

How did you know?

Zhao Yi:

"My special ability."

"Judging from the direction you're leading, Pulse City should be to the east. The road ahead will probably be very difficult..."

Wang Chui stared at the campfire in front of him without saying a word, the firelight in his eyes flickering uncertainly.

"Actually, there's another way to get to Pulse City..."

"But the risk factor is extremely high!"

Everyone asked in confusion:

"What method?"

Wang Chui:

"Ghost bus..."

P.S.: I'm so sorry, I'm having a gastroscopy tomorrow morning and need to pick up some medication.

Updates will resume once things get better.

Good night!!
