Excessive ferocity due to caution

Dusk was falling.

According to regulations, most people at the test site have returned to their rooms.

Apart from the staff working the night shift and the soldiers on patrol, no one else is allowed to be anywhere other than their own room.

Once discovered, they can be shot on the spot!

Military Region Garrison Battalion.

After Liu Zi finished his reorganization, he greeted the other squad leaders and left with his men to begin the first round of patrols.

However, when he opened the electronic task tracking board, he thought to himself, "Oh no!"

He was scammed!

The route they patrolled... was completely different from the route that the other squad leaders had discussed with him!

"Are these guys... starting to suspect me?"

Liu Zixin's heart sank to the bottom.

My thoughts raced.

There are only two possibilities why the other party didn't attack him immediately—

First, these people want to use him as bait to catch more big fish!

Secondly... they weren't sure if they had any problems, so they didn't dare to act rashly and violate the rules. Therefore, they tried to test him!

Liu Zi was more inclined to believe the second scenario.

Those in the testing ground who possess the foresight and skills have already risen to the upper echelons.

"..."

Begin patrolling.

On the way, Liu Zi felt the sweat constantly seeping into his back.

As per his previous agreement with Zhao Yi, they would meet in front of Building B of the hospital in ten minutes!

At that point... will he make a move or not?

You should know that he wasn't alone at that moment.

He was followed by dozens of patrol members.

What's even more worrying is that... Liu Zi now suspects that the timing of the other patrol teams is completely different from what he knew!

Zhao Yi is probably in big trouble!

If only one person dies.

Liu Zi wouldn't be so worried.

They were destined to die.

Before joining this great organization, they were fully prepared mentally for sacrifice.

But Zhao Yi wasn't one of their people.

Liu Zi was worried that Zhao Yi would betray the information about the people going to their deaths before he died.

At that time...

He wasn't the only one who died!

Those implicated... number at least dozens!

The organization paid a huge price to get these people to infiltrate this place!

We cannot let our mistakes ruin them, ruin the organization's hard work!

Liu Zi clenched his fists tightly.

Now, he is in dire straits.

Nothing I do seems to be right!

"We can't contact Zhao Yi...and we can't get rid of him..."

Six, armed and moving with stiff, mechanical steps, led his men on patrol through the bleak twilight...

...

The difficulty of stealthily navigating the experimental field is beyond imagination.

Using the abilities granted by his Evil Eye, Zhao Yi successfully evaded the first patrol.

It was at this moment that he discovered the problem!

These patrolmen are not the same as what Liu Zikou said before!

Sequence, scope, route...

They're all different!

Zhao Yi keenly realized... they were being watched!

It's impossible that Liu Zi would intentionally frame him.

If that were the case, the price they would pay for their suicide mission would be even more devastating!

Therefore... the only possibility is that Rokuko has been suspected.

All the information the other party gave Liu Zi was fake.

If anything happens tonight, then Liu Zi... will suffer the consequences!

The night was slightly chilly.

Zhao Yi looked around.

More and more patrols blocked his escape route.

Going back... is impossible now!

He is in a narrow dead end, but is not in immediate danger.

But when the third patrol arrives, he will have nowhere to hide!

Two patrolmen were crossing paths on the opposite side of the alley, making it seem impossible for Zhao Yi to get out of the alley.

The situation has reached a dead end...

Zhao Yi carefully slipped into the alleyway exit, cautiously observing the opposite side, calmly searching for an opportunity.

The viewers in the live stream seemed to sense the tense atmosphere, and couldn't help but feel worried for Zhao Yi...

"There must be incredibly powerful beings and some extremely damaging black weapons in the testing grounds..."

"If Brother Zhao shows his face and his identity is exposed... he'll probably have to go back to the guild headquarters."

"Sigh... How could a dungeon with an unsolvable difficulty be so easy?"

"Yes, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

While the viewers in the live stream were chatting and speculating about how Zhao Yi escaped, Zhao Yi spotted a gap between the two teams outside and walked out!

This move completely stunned hundreds of thousands of viewers!

Damn it...

Is this a direct opening?

"Holy crap..."

"This is the first time I've seen Brother Zhao open a stall..."

"Wait... why are those people acting like they're blind?"

To everyone's astonishment, the patrolmen on both sides walked past each other as if they were blind, not even glancing at Zhao Yi!

Zhao Yi lowered his head and calmly walked towards the other side.

Outside the alley, this street is not long at all.

It's only twenty meters.

But what kind of courage does it take to take that step?

"A person's field of vision... is only 180 degrees..."

Just when all the viewers were in shock, a pro player revealed the secret!

"Zhao Yi's angle was perfect!"

"This weather, this oppressive environment... what kind of terrifying judgment and mental fortitude is this?!"

Many top players from major guilds entered the live stream.

As Zhao Yi's fame grew among the players, they finally noticed this rising star who had charged forward like an incomparably sharp longsword!

Their vision is sharper.

The truly terrifying thing about Zhao Yi was the many unnoticed details about him!

For example, the step just now.

If it had been discovered any earlier, it would have been found out.

Later, when the patrolmen on both sides turn back at the end of the road, Zhao Yi might not have had time to cross the street!

"but……"

"If someone turns their head at that moment, wouldn't they be dead?"

"Yes, that's why that step just now was such a test of one's mindset and sharp judgment!"

Because he couldn't make a sound, Zhao Yi didn't walk very fast.

At this moment, every second is incredibly agonizing!

The two patrol teams on this street will soon turn around.

Zhao Yi had been observing for a long time.

The locations these people turn to are fixed.

As long as you can get to the opposite passage before they turn, you can quickly escape danger!

Due to the design of the area, there are very few cameras in the test site.

That's why the patrols are so dense.

The final five steps!

At that moment, the viewers in the live stream dared not breathe.

Zhao Yi, however, remained calm.

The closer he gets to this side, the safer he actually is.

Because at this point, the patrolmen on both sides could no longer see him by turning their heads.

You need to turn around to see it.

If they can't withstand the pressure and make a sound... then they're truly doomed!

at last.

Zhao Yi stepped into the alleyway across the street without any major incident!

Even after he entered this place, he still controlled his walking speed!

After passing through the alley, you'll see Building B of the medical facility across the street.

This is the end point of this operation.

Zhao Yi's figure disappeared into the darkness, stealthily moving along the shadows by the wall until he finally reached Building B, the medical building.

But he can't go in yet.

—He doesn't have the authority.

He has no mission to enter this place tonight; passing through the hospital entrance will trigger an alarm.

Liu Zi told Zhao Yi that a companion would be waiting for him in this place.

Zhao Yi observed cautiously.

Soon after, a man pushing a metal cart came over.

He stood at the hospital entrance but did not go in.

Zhao Yi's eyes turned red.

Evil Eyes activated.

The other party's information was readily available.

own people.

He walked up quickly.

The harsh sound of footsteps startled the man in the cold, silent night.

His gaze fell on Zhao Yi's clothing number.

My tense heart immediately relaxed...

"Did you encounter any danger on the way?"

He asked with concern.

Zhao Yi glanced back, stroked his chin, and said:

"Ha...no, not at all."

"Those guys are like blind men."

"So how do I get into Building B, the medical building?"

The receiver exhaled:

"It's very simple..."

"I have a mission tonight; I need to enter Building B of the medical facility to deliver medicine and tools."

"You and I will swap battle suits."

"Then you go in wearing my clothes and kill someone... After you're done killing them, you come out and change back into my clothes. They'll then use the surveillance footage to arrest me."

"However... those damned executioners will never catch me alive!"

"They...can only grab my corpse."

Zhao Yi glanced at him with some surprise:

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

The man shook his head, a hint of pride in his expression:

"Afraid……"

"But I'm prepared for it."

"Just like our predecessors who went to their deaths!"

"To sacrifice for a great ideal... is worthwhile!"

Zhao Yi:

"Are there any unfulfilled wishes?"

The contact was silent for a moment, then took out a small cloth bag from his person, handed it to Zhao Yi, and said with a rather shy smile:

"If... if you're willing to help me..."

"I'll give this gold ring to Martha later..."

Do you know her?

"She works in a tailor shop...and speaks very gently."

Zhao Yi accepted the ring from the other person's hand.

I weighed it in my hand.

It's not gold.

Gold-plated.

Anyone who is a little older and has seen a bit of the world will know that this ring is not made of gold at all.

Judging from his voice, Zhao Yi estimated that the person facing death was very young.

"What's your name? How old are you?"

The responder replied:

"Brand".

"I'm 16 this year."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"Sixteen years old...you are really brave."

"I will personally deliver this gold ring to her."

Brand scratched his head, his voice tinged with a hint of embarrassment:

"That...that's wonderful!"

"And please also..."

Zhao Yi:

"Um?"

Brand took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly:

"Please also tell him for me that I like her!"

"She absolutely must...live on!"

"May the flowers of freedom bloom across this desolate wasteland!"

Zhao nodded:

"no problem."

Brand grinned.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhao Yi."

He took off his clothes and exchanged specially made battle suits with Zhao Yi.

Brand was a very thin blond boy.

His eyes were as clear as amber.

Very clean.

After exchanging clothes, Zhao Yi pushed Brand's stroller into Building B, the medical building.

Unlike the shabby environment of Building A.

The facilities for 'treating' patients in Building B are much more complete, and there are also many more patients!

This is where the actual symptoms of the experimental subjects are studied.

The methods are professional.

The props are complete.

Zhao Yi walked along the corridor.

The rooms on both sides were filled with patients with severe symptoms.

It's a single floor with a total of eighty wards.

Six researchers.

Zhao Yi completed part of the task as required.

Meanwhile, they continued to approach the fifth floor.

Dean Chen Keke's office is there.

Liu Zi had told him that Chen Keke was an extremely difficult superhuman to deal with.

Unlike the infected, superhumans, although also modified by the Black Catastrophe Particles and thus gaining great power, have controllable power and have not deviated from the realm of humanity.

Unlike Sudi, a third-tier infected individual, who directly transforms into a terrifying vengeful ghost.

Of course... that's not the most important distinction.

The most important distinction is... whether these people who have gained power are willing to work for Pulse City, use their own compatriots as test subjects, harm them and subject them to inhumane torture!

Standing in front of Chen Keke's office door, Zhao Yi knocked.

"Who?"

An unhappy voice came from inside.

Zhao Yi thought for a moment and replied:

"The clock deliveryman."

Heavy footsteps immediately echoed in the room.

open the door.

When Zhao Yi saw the mountain of flesh in front of him, he realized that the door to this office had been built to be so large.

Chen Keke's image and the delicate beauty implied in her name don't match at all.

She was a completely obese woman, utterly devoid of human form.

His belly was drooping to the ground.

It's less about walking on its legs and more about wriggling on the ground using its fat.

But unlike her body, her facial features were exceptionally beautiful.

In terms of looks alone, she has even surpassed Luo Qili and Su Qingyao.

"Zhong?"

"When did I make a reservation?"

She stared at Zhao Yi with an eerie gaze, as if admiring a work of art devoid of emotion.

A normal person would get goosebumps if she just glanced at them!

Upon seeing Chen Keke, Zhao Yi was certain that this guy... was a Tier 3 Infected just like Sudi!

His strength is at the peak of the half-step Great Ferocity realm!

It could reach a near-major danger level at any moment!

However... he became a dog of Pulse City.

Zhao Yi pushed the cart into her office, closed the door, and said with a smile:

"It wasn't ordered."

"These are some of your admirers who want to present you with a bell."

"So tonight I have come with their wishes."

Upon hearing this, Chen Keke, despite her inhuman body, actually adopted a shy and demure posture and expression like a young girl...

"Does she really have that many admirers outside?"

"I'm truly flattered!"

"If they ever show up at the lab bench again, we have to make sure they get to taste the freshest research results..."

"By the way... where's Zhong?"

Zhao Yi, who had her back to her, slowly turned around.

He wore a polite smile.

But the sword he carried, designed to kill women, looked particularly sinister under the stark white light...

P.S.: This chapter is over 4000 words, I'll split it into two chapters next time.

If a chapter has too many words, it will more or less become a bit padded.

Sorry it's so late, goodnight everyone!!
