Excessive ferocity due to caution

stone forest.

The sun was blazing.

The stone pillar facing the sun was scorching hot, and at this temperature, neither Wang Chui nor the skinny monkey Fang Jian dared to run around.

So many days have passed, and they are still here guarding.

The two had been preparing to leave, but at the crucial moment, they discovered the whereabouts of Luo Qili and Li Liangchao.

Therefore, they became even more certain that the two were hiding in the stone forest and had never left!

So the four of them just stuck in this stalemate.

Wang Chui was certain that Luo Qili and her companion wouldn't last long.

After all, they were only low-level infected individuals, and their physical condition was inferior to his and Fang Jiandu's in all aspects.

Once they are exhausted, they will naturally be unable to resist.

So the two waited and waited...

Waiting and waiting...

it is good.

wait.

However, it wasn't until Luo Qili and her companion were exhausted that they finally arrived.

Instead, they waited for Sudi and other infected people who had left the city.

The moment Wang Chui saw Sudi, he knew he was in trouble!

They wanted to run, but they were surrounded by infected people.

The two were now surrounded.

Upon seeing Sudi's fierce and predatory eyes, Wang Chui's palms began to sweat.

"finally found you……"

Sudi stood brazenly under the scorching sun, enjoying the intense sunlight that reached hundreds of degrees Celsius, his pupils flashing with an eerie power.

Wang Chui gritted his teeth and said:

"Did the dragon send you to kill me?"

Sudi replied:

"Yes."

Wang Chui's eyes were gloomy:

"really……"

Sudi looked down at him and said coldly:

"The general already knew you had betrayed us."

"I just haven't exposed you yet."

Wang Chui suddenly pulled a gun from behind his back, pointed it at Su Di, and said with a ferocious expression:

"That's right..."

"I've betrayed you!"

"But it was all forced upon us by the dragon!"

"We brothers risked our lives for him, we gave our lives for him, but what did we get in return?"

"We're starving, doing meaningless things every day... and all he does is make empty promises, never giving us any reward!"

Wang Chui became increasingly agitated as he spoke, and grabbed Fang Jiandu:

"Even if there's no reward, that's fine..."

"Look at Skinny Monkey... he was only fourteen when he joined the team!"

"For three years after joining the ranks of those going to their deaths, he fought tirelessly for those leaving the city, risking his life. But his elderly mother, who was also away from the city, fell seriously ill and had no one to care for her. She lay dying in bed, and no one paid her any attention!"

"Tell me? What kind of life is possible under a leader like that?!"

"Today it's Skinny Monkey's mother who dies; tomorrow it could be someone else's parents!"

Sudi waited in silence until Wang Chui finished speaking before speaking:

"The general has always felt guilty about this matter."

"But he has to control the operations of eight outer cities, and he's so busy he's overwhelmed with work that he has no time for anything else..."

Wang Chui said coldly:

"yes……"

"He only cares about the power he holds; when has he ever cared about the lives of people like us?"

"You don't actually believe that that damned dragon created the Death Squad for the sake of peace and freedom, do you?"

"I must remind you..."

"Back then, he was one of the powerful figures in Pulse City!"

"He was simply kicked out during an internal power struggle!"

Sudi's expression was neither sad nor happy.

"Are you finished speaking?"

"Any last words?"

Wang Chui remained silent for a long time, his expression gradually calming down.

Slowly, he took out a pocket watch from his person.

"Please give this watch to the woman whose photo is inside."

Tell her I'm not going back.

"in addition--"

"Skinny Monkey is innocent. He has not been involved in anything related to Pulse City. Do not harm him."

Sudi took Wang Chui's pocket watch, opened it, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket.

Fang Jian, standing to the side, stared at Wang Chui with an incredulous expression:

"Brother Wang...you..."

Wang Chui patted the skinny monkey on the shoulder and sighed softly:

"Jiandu, don't hate your elder brother..."

"My elder brother had no choice."

Fang Jiandu's eyes were filled with shock, unwilling to believe what was happening before his eyes.

suddenly.

He lunged at Sudi, hugged her tightly, and yelled at Wang Chui:

"Big brother...run!"

Wang Chui's body trembled.

Fang Jiandu said sternly:

"Run, bro!!"

Wang Chui clenched his fists tightly, then relaxed them after a long while.

He smiled at Fang Jiandu and said:

"Establish a capital city..."

"Brother, it's truly a blessing to have a friend like you in this lifetime."

"Let go...you can't stop her."

Fang Jian refused to let go.

Sudi's body trembled slightly, and Fang Jiandu immediately felt as if his whole body had fallen apart!

He staggered back several steps, then knelt on one knee, feeling dizzy and disoriented...

My whole body is numb, and I can't move at all!

Sudi waved his hand.

The head of the man behind him flew off!

No blood flowed out.

Sudi used his power to seal Wang Chui's wound.

This will make Wang Chui look less disheveled.

He took the letter out of Wang Chui's body.

Sudi addressed the others:

"Take Fang Jiandu back...and try not to hurt him."

"We await the general's decision."

"In addition... Wang Chui's body will also be sent back to Licheng."

The other level-two infected immediately escorted the immobilized Fang Jiandu to a location outside the city...

After all these people left, Sudi looked at a huge rock in the stone forest.

"You've been watching for so long... Come out."

She spoke slowly.

"I won't kill you... I have some questions for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, two people emerged from behind a huge rock.

One male and one female.

It was Luo Qili and Li Liangchao.

The two men looked at Sudi with extreme wariness.

Do you know anything about Zhao Yi?

Sudi asked.

The records show that they were among the infected individuals admitted in the same batch as Zhao Yi and Liu Meng.

On the way there, Sudi noticed the subtle relationship between the four people.

Perhaps they know each other...

When Zhao Yi was mentioned, Luo Qili and Li Liangchao both fell silent, understanding each other implicitly.

Seeing their reaction, Sudi then said:

"We are not your enemies... otherwise you would have been dead days ago."

Luo Qili said warily:

"But you tried to kill us before..."

Sudi explained:

"Because this journey is ostensibly to deliver a message, but there's another mission: to take the four of you to the testing ground in the east."

"There, you will suffer extremely terrible torture, a fate worse than death."

"Out of humanitarian considerations, the general instructed me to find an opportunity to eliminate you on the road."

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a short while, Li Liangchao spoke:

"Zhao Yi..."

"He's a terrifying madman."

A glint flashed in Sudi's eyes.

"Could you elaborate?"

Li Liangchao shook his head.

"We don't know him very well either."

"At most, we can be considered acquaintances."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information from them, Sudi invited the two of them to return to the city.

Li Liangchao asked curiously:

"Aren't we supposed to be sent to the Eastern Test Site?"

Sudi turned around and said calmly:

"The plan has changed."

"Your friend Zhao Yi... has already infiltrated the heavily guarded testing ground."

"They even helped us kill a formidable Tier 3 Infected..."

"And next, he wants to enter the bunker at the testing grounds to find the source of the Black Disaster infection..."

The two of them shuddered, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

Holy crap...

What kind of monster is Zhao Yi?

Isn't the task progress being pushed a bit too fast?!

While they were still dealing with Wang Chui and his two lackeys, Zhao Yi was already close to the BOSS's face.

Soul pale!

This makes us look really silly!
