Chapter 108

That evening, Liu Ye and No. 1 continued manufacturing lethal weapons. No. 1 no longer showed his initial reluctance. If anything, he was starting to enjoy himself.

“Liu Ye, make those animals hurry up and keep crapping! We’re running low on ammunition,” No. 1 complained.

The animals stared at him.

Which side here was supposed to be made up of beasts?

“There’s nothing I can do. They’ve reached their limit.”

Liu Ye looked at the exhausted animals sprawled across the ground. He could not bear to make them continue. They were practically dehydrated already.

“Then what are we supposed to do?” No. 1 asked anxiously. “Without that stuff, we won’t be able to hold those people off when they come back.”

“How should I know? Don’t you have some kind of weapons depot where this stuff is stored?” Liu Ye grumbled.

No. 1 thought for a moment. His eyes suddenly lit up.

“Now that you mention it, we actually do!”

He leaned close and whispered something in Liu Ye’s ear. Liu Ye’s eyes grew brighter with every word.

“If that’s true, then I have an idea!” he said with a broad grin.

The plan drew on his experience at Rose Apartment. If what No. 1 had just told him was true, things were about to get interesting.

He explained his plan. No. 1 instantly became excited.

“Good, good, good! Now those well-dressed bastards can suffer the same pain I did! Hahahaha!”

The two reached an immediate agreement and set out for their target.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the forest, Xiaoshuai ran through the trees with John on his back. The sounds of pursuit came steadily from behind them.

“Put me down. At this rate, neither of us will escape,” John said weakly.

He had taken a knife meant for Xiaoshuai while they were evading the Killers.

“Don’t be stupid! You were hurt saving me. How could I abandon you now? What kind of person would that make me?” Xiaoshuai roared.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you to Brother Liu no matter what! So… so could you move that knife away from my neck? You’re about to cut me!”

John held a dagger in one hand, its edge pressed firmly against Xiaoshuai’s throat.

Miss Zhang was wrapped tightly around both of them as well.

“You don’t trust me at all! Do I look like the kind of man who abandons his companions?” Xiaoshuai shouted.

“Of course not. I’ve always trusted you.” John smiled and lowered the dagger.

Xiaoshuai’s eyes lit up. His chance had come!

His hands had barely begun to loosen when John continued.

“Before we set out, I put poison in your food.”

Xiaoshuai fell silent.

“Zhao En, screw your entire family!”

Whoosh!

A long saber suddenly flew toward them. Xiaoshuai threw himself into an ungainly roll and barely avoided it.

A monster stepped into view.

“Heh-heh-heh… John… Xu Fei… heh-heh-heh…”

The speaker was one of the wealthy men. A day ago, he had been a frail human. Now both arms were grotesquely enlarged, covered in pink flesh. Blisters continually swelled across them and burst.

Half of his once-handsome face had also been swallowed by the same pink flesh.

This was the side effect of choosing Killer. As time passed, their bodies became increasingly Fiend-like, but in exchange, their physical abilities rose at a terrifying rate.

In other words, the longer the mission dragged on, the worse it became for Escapees like them.

“Die!”

The wealthy man swung an enormous fist at Xiaoshuai. His body looked horribly unbalanced, yet he moved with astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, he was directly above them.
Just before the fist struck, something fresh smacked into the wealthy man’s face.

The impact was so powerful it knocked him back several steps.

At first, he did not understand what had happened. Once he steadied himself and saw what was plastered across his face, an agonized scream tore from his throat.

Two figures darted behind him in the next instant. They dug a pit at astonishing speed and kicked him straight into it.

Then an overwhelming barrage of ammunition buried him solidly, leaving only his head exposed.

The wealthy man finally grasped his predicament. The psychological shock proved too much for him, and he fainted on the spot.

Liu Ye and No. 1 flashed victory signs at Xiaoshuai and John.

Xiaoshuai could only stare.

Why are you two so practiced at this?!

“I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me just now, but it really is you!” Liu Ye said with a smile. “Did you come to play hide-and-seek too?”

Xiaoshuai said nothing.

At that moment, he did not particularly want to speak to Liu Ye. A horrendous odor wafted off both men.

“Uh, where are you two going?” he asked from a safe distance, pinching his nose.

“Oh, well, to ensure our victory, we’re planning to…”

After hearing the plan, Xiaoshuai stared at them in shock.

He had always considered himself thick-skinned, black-hearted, and willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goals. Call him despicable, vulgar, or shameless, and he would happily agree.

But after meeting these two today, he realized he had not even reached their level.

“Xu Fei, why don’t you come with us?” Liu Ye asked excitedly. “I guarantee we’re going to win this time!”

Xiaoshuai fell silent again.

“Brother, look at John. He’s in terrible shape, and I need to… get him to a hospital as soon as possible. So I… I won’t keep playing with you. Have fun!”

With that, Xiaoshuai took off with John on his back and never looked behind him. He was frightened-truly frightened. Never in his life had he been this scared.

If those two really carried out their plan, the entire area was about to become unimaginably dangerous.

Watching him disappear, Liu Ye and No. 1 sighed regretfully.

“They’ll probably miss the magnificent spectacle. They’ll regret it one day.”

“Exactly. Let’s go!”

The two continued toward their target.

Fox Mask, meanwhile, had already returned to human form.

This was his territory. Most of the people on the mountain had chosen to become Killers, but the mission rules had never said that people from outside could not be brought in.

And outsiders were so very easy to threaten.

He had tentatively ordered some people flown in. To his delight, it worked.

“Hu Li! Can you really save us?” a wealthy man demanded urgently.

They had searched the entire mountain and killed nearly every Escapee they could find. If no more outsiders were brought in, they were finished!

They still had wonderful lives ahead of them. None wanted to turn into a monster.

“Rest assured, everyone. Since I gave you my word, I will see it done.”

Fox Mask was secretly delighted. He had this mission to thank for an unbelievable windfall.

Once the incident was over, his wealth would increase several times over!

Just then, a bodyguard hurried inside.

“Sir, those two Escapees have infiltrated the base.”
