Excessive ferocity due to caution

beep--

beep--

The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.

An elderly man from the military region looked anxious and a little nervous.

He is currently in his room.

He was supposed to appear in parliament.

He was also in charge of this search for internal traitors.

Previously in Parliament, when someone suggested searching for a traitor, he was the first to step forward, agree, and take on the responsibility of finding the traitor.

First, draw everyone's attention to the trouble caused by the fall of the god, and then try to hide the traces he left behind.

His quick actions bought him a precious little breathing space.

But now, the old man named Zhang Huaizhi is still very flustered.

Because the traces of past transactions cannot be so easily erased.

If the military is determined to investigate, they will surely find him!

So after much deliberation, Zhang Huaizhi decided to take advantage of this respite to test Qiu Tebi.

But when he called Chutby, the other party did not answer the phone for a long time.

Zhang Huaizhi panicked.

Did something happen to Chutby?

Or... has he already mastered the Godfall technology and decided to become the leader of the sheepfold game himself?

Zhang Huaizhi felt the latter was more likely.

He has most likely been abandoned.

Hearing the endless dial tone on the phone, Zhang Huaizhi was furious and slammed his fist hard on the table!

Damn it!

He knew this ingrate was unreliable!

Just as Zhang Huaizhi was about to hang up the phone and pack his things to run away, the call was answered.

However, the voice coming from the other end was unfamiliar.

He sounds very young.

"You finally remembered to call Chutby."

The appearance of this voice made Zhang Huaizhi's heart tremble.

"Who are you?"

He asked.

"Zhao Yi".

I don't know you.

"Of course you don't know me, but that doesn't matter... You'll know me soon enough, everyone in the military will know me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Huaizhi felt even more heavy-hearted.

"You're the mastermind behind this?"

Zhao Yi smiled slightly.

"The mastermind behind it all?"

No, I'm not.

"You are the ones who are."

"I'm just an ordinary troublemaker."

Zhang Huaizhi gritted his teeth and said:

What do you want?

"Where is Chutby now?"

Zhao lit a cigarette.

"He's dead."

"And I... I want a great fire."

Zhang Huaizhi was stunned, then said coldly:

"You want to be a hero?"

Do you know what happens to heroes?

"Didn't Chutby talk to you about how the police station ended up like this?"

"You destroyed us for their sake, but they won't be grateful. They'll be like poisonous insects, lurking in the shadows, waiting to kill you and then become a new version of ourselves!"

"This is the law of human society; it cannot be changed or escaped!"

Zhao Yi laughed, a very happy laugh.

"You think I'm a dragon-slaying hero?"

"But is it possible... that I am an even greater dragon?"

Zhang Huaizhi's hands and feet were ice cold.

"You want to completely destroy the military district...and then replace us?"

Zhao Yi said lazily:

"Not interested."

"To me, playing sheepfold games is just like playing house."

"Originally, all I needed to do was kill one capitalist and then quietly leave."

"But I feel... since I'm here, I should at least get some blood on my hands."

Zhang Huaizhi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said:

"If you want to deal with the military, maybe I can help you!"

"All I need is to exchange my own life."

"What difference does it make to someone like you whether you kill one more person or one less?"

Zhao Yi:

"I'd like to hear what kind of help you can offer me?"

Zhang Huaizhi felt there was hope, and his heart leaped with joy.

"I am one of the powerful figures in the military; I can provide you with more Godfall Solution!"

"Or you can simply give me the data from the successful Godfall experiment, and I can immediately create a large batch of Godfall test subjects!"

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"Even if I really gave you the data, you might not dare to create a large number of Godfall test subjects."

Zhang Huaizhi asked, puzzled:

Why?

Zhao Yi:

"Because almost all the experimental subjects modified by Godfall are uncontrollable."

"You think you can command a terrifying army?"

"No, you will only perish in the chaos."

"Most of the modified beings will slaughter everything they see."

"So you need the data? I can give it to you right now."

Zhao Yi spoke very frankly, and when Zhang Huaizhi heard what he said, his already chilling heart was completely frozen.

Uncontrollable?

Does that mean I have absolutely no chance of turning things around now?

If he wants to use this experimental data, the military will destroy it, and he can only escape or die.

If he doesn't use it, he can only either escape or die.

"Oh, right..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yi's tone suddenly became playful.

"You can also think that what I said is a lie."

"I'll send you the experimental data on Godfall after our call ends. If you want to play... then let's play together."

After saying that, Zhao Yi hung up the phone.

Zhang Huaizhi's legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

His eyes were glazed over, and he murmured:

"It's over..."

"It's all over..."

He was terrified of dying.

They might not want to give up their power just like that.

That's something that took generations of them so much effort to earn.

Having held a high position of power for so long, Zhang Huaizhi could no longer return to the status of an ordinary person.

How can I eat, drink, and sleep in the same cage as the cattle, sheep, and pigs I raise?

To go... or to die?

...

"Brother Zhao, the capitalist hero you've been looking for has appeared."

"On the covered bridge."

Upon seeing the message Liao Hongqiao sent him, Zhao Yi immediately contacted the Griffin.

"Take the Godfall Modifier with you to the covered bridge to find Capitalist Man, and while you're at it, 'give' him a Godfall Solution."

Griffin stared at the message on his phone, remained silent for a moment, and then immediately led several powerful modders to the covered bridge.

These more powerful modders did not directly clash with the military. Zhao Yi selected them and had them hidden away.

Of course, not all so-called modifiers will listen to him.

Especially since a slightly stronger modder emerged at that time.

But now this disobedient modifier has been torn to pieces by Zhao Yi.

He awakened elemental powers, possessing extremely high resistance to psychic attacks, and his self-healing ability was unexpectedly strong.

But it only took Zhao Yi less than three seconds to tear him apart.

The griffin vividly remembers the terrifying scene.

This was the second time he had seen Zhao Yi make a move.

It was exactly as he had expected.

The guy behind this... is more powerful than I ever imagined!
