The message had come from Li Yunmeng, bearing good news.
"Zhuzi, Xingjian, things are progressing well on our end. After Chen Jin died, all the monsters fell into chaos, with no unified command or coordination. The moment no one controlled them, they started killing each other. We just need to single out the strongest few and take them down."
"With your intelligence support, this war is about to reach its end."
Big Head had been busy selling out Evolved Beings every day, working himself to the bone. At last, the final moment had arrived.
"Zhuzi, how are your injuries?"
"My injuries..." Shi Tie Zhu twisted his waist. Mm, everything felt wonderfully comfortable. "Nothing serious. Need me?"
"Doesn't look like we need you now. We've precisely located every Evolver, guided them into gathering, and are preparing to wipe them all out in one stroke." Li Yunmeng sighed. "Our weapons and equipment are nearly out of ammunition, but fortunately, things have gone very smoothly overall. That's all thanks to you two."
"It's everyone's achievement. Oh, I should remind you: once the number of Evolved Beings drops to a certain point, the remaining ones may automatically evolve the ability to amplify infection."
"Don't worry, we'll kill them all from a distance." Li Yunmeng made an OK sign. "Though on your side, that Dr. Chu..."
Shi Tie Zhu looked over.
Dr. Chu looked back.
They stared at each other with wide eyes.
One had a profound gaze; the other wore a horrified expression.
Only then did the research-obsessed shut-in Dr. Chu realize it. Holy crap, once all the Evolved Beings outside are dead, aren't they going to cook me after the rabbit's dead and the hounds are no longer needed?
"Don't worry, I have my own methods." Shi Tie Zhu reached for Big Head.
