Excessive ferocity due to caution

From Li Dongxun's memories, Zhao Yi learned a very important piece of information—

All the civilians outside the city... are infected!

Including the four players.

There was no zombie horde at all.

What they were looking for in the city of Mai was not aid...

Instead, they were taken to the 'laboratory' in Pulse City.

Moreover, these people... their previous memories have been completely erased by external forces.

Before leaving, Long and Wang Chui were just putting on a show for everyone.

It was all a lie!

But soon...

Zhao Yi noticed another thing that wasn't right.

— Sudi.

If Sudi were in cahoots with Wang Chui, he would never have killed player Liu Meng.

Because Liu Meng was also one of the targets Wang Chui was transporting on this trip.

"Sudi and Wang Chui are not in the same group..."

"But her acting was so bad that anyone with a slightly sharp eye could see through Sudi's abnormality..."

"At least Dragon could definitely tell that Sudi was a mutated infected person, but even so, Dragon still let Sudi join the team..."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Long is a very strange person.

He seems to be doing two things with completely opposite purposes.

They wanted to transport Zhao Yi and his companions to Mai City, but they also wanted them to die en route...

Zhao Yi's eyes revealed intense interest...

"Sudi represents the Dragon's position... The Dragon doesn't want us to reach Pulse City alive."

Zhao Yi had previously used his evil eyes to spy on Su Di, who had transformed into a female ghost.

A Tier 3 Infected has a Strength stat of around 4500.

Even if Zhao Yi were to unleash his full power of Darkness and Unparalleled Might, he still wouldn't be able to match him.

Unless it's a rainy night, combined with the title of "King of Cool," the special effect of wearing the fragment of the "Lunyu" technique, and the curse effect of the scalpel, you can maximize your buffs and fight!

When Zhao Yi met Li Dongxun just now, his strength was only around 1200.

These people were simply no match for Sudi.

But Sudi didn't act immediately; instead, he disguised himself among the crowd... This shows that the dragon didn't want them to die too close to the city.

It will cause trouble.

"Have we been caught up in an undercurrent...?"

Zhao Yi picked up the communicator.

He examined it for a moment.

After learning of Lee Dong-hoon's disappearance, new troubles will soon come knocking.

Moreover, the new troubles will be even more troublesome than Lee Dong-hoon's!

He quickly smashed the communicator and left the area...

...

As dawn broke.

Wang Chui's team got out of the car with their men.

Continue eastward.

Having avoided the ghost tide, they felt much more relaxed.

Thanks to the ghost tide, although there were still ghostly figures and mutated beasts on their eastward journey, their numbers were small and they posed little threat to them.

"The sun is out..."

Wang Chui glanced up at the blazing sun overhead and immediately led the group to hide among some boulders and dense forest.

The sunlight beams were so intense that even if a typical super soldier could withstand the scorching heat, they would still suffer severe burns afterward due to the radiation from the light…

Wang Chui took a sip of water and said to the people in the team:

"I need to take care of some physiological needs. If you're also going, don't stray too far from the Stone Forest. We can make our move once we reach Cloud Recesses!"

The others agreed.

Wang Chui walked along the stone forest to a distance, turning out of sight of others, before finally taking off his pants, revealing his tools, and beginning his crime.

While urinating, he simultaneously glanced at his collar and used his communicator to contact Lee Dong-hoon.

But Lee Dong-hoon did not respond.

After waiting for half a minute, Wang Chui cut off the signal and contacted another person.

"This is Operation Number 08, Operation Code Name..."

Wang Chui spoke up:

"08, immediately dispatch the special task force."

"Go to the vicinity of the location x987, y963 in the wasteland and find an escaped experimental subject."

08 coldly said:

"Didn't the organization give you a secret agent?"

Wang Chui replied:

"He was probably killed by that infected person."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.

"The infected transported this time are all high-potential, low-infection experimental subjects. They haven't even awakened their second-tier abilities yet, so how could they possibly kill super soldiers modified by atomic energy?"

A glint of light flashed in Wang Chui's eyes.

"That guy is cunning... Even though his memories have been erased, he started to suspect me soon after leaving the city..."

"Also, be careful when you go to arrest him."

"This guy seems to have gained the 'Forgotten Walker' ability due to the infection..."

"The wounds of the creatures he harms will grow the Touch of Oblivion."

Upon hearing this, 08 immediately questioned:

"impossible!"

"Mortals simply cannot withstand the power of the Forgotten Traveler!"

"Moreover, after spending so much time and exhausting so many resources, we still haven't discovered anything that can fuse with the power of the Forgotten Walker..."

Wang Chui didn't dwell on the matter, only saying:

"I've already sent the message."

Whether you believe it or not is your business.

"You'll regret it if you miss out on such a test subject!"

"Also, you should all be more careful around Long... he's been making some rather big moves lately..."

After Wang Chui finished speaking, he immediately cut off the contact, casually put on his pants, and started walking back.

When they returned to the stone forest where everyone had initially sought refuge from the sunlight, they found that only Fang Jiandu remained.

"Jiandu, where are those two?"

An ominous premonition swept through Wang Chui's mind.

Fang Jiandu said nonchalantly:

"They... went to the toilet."

Wang Chui stared wide-eyed and cursed:

"Do you even have a brain?"

"How could a man and a woman both go to the same toilet at the same time?"

Fang Jiandu was somewhat puzzled by Wang Chui's agitation.

"Brother, what's gotten into you...?"

"They didn't go to the toilet at the same time, nor did they go to the same place."

"Li Liangchao left first, heading north, while Luo Qili left later, heading south..."

He hurriedly tried to explain to Wang Chui, but Wang Chui sighed:

"You..."

"Still too young..."

"They weren't going to the toilet; they clearly planned to run away."

Fang Jian was dumbfounded.

"Running away?"

"Why?"

Looking at the skinny young man in front of him, Wang Chui's expression was very complicated.

Ruthlessness and compassion flashed alternately.

After a long while, he sighed.

"Establish a capital city..."

"I'm so sorry..."

"My elder brother originally intended to use these men as a pledge of allegiance, and take you with him to Pulse City to seek an official position..."

Fang Jiandu became more and more confused as he listened, scratching his head with a bewildered expression.

"Brother, what you're saying is completely confusing to me."

Wang Chui unfastened the wine from his waist, took a big gulp, and said:

"Jiandu...Do you believe in your elder brother?"

Fang Jiandu chuckled:

"Look at what you're saying, brother... You saved Jiandu's life, how could I not believe you?"

Wang Chui nodded, his expression serious, and said:

"Now, listen carefully, eldest brother..."

Wang Chui whispered a lot of things in Fang Jiandu's ear, and the look of confusion in Fang Jiandu's eyes deepened.

"No problem, no problem... but why did you do this, brother?"

Wang Chui patted him on the shoulder:

"Once this is over, your brother will explain everything to you... It's not the right time now."

"You just need to do as your older brother says!"

Fang Jian hesitated for two seconds, but still nodded, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes:

"OK!"

"I'll listen to my older brother!"

P.S.: My stomach feels much better today, and I'll try to catch up on the chapters I missed earlier.
