Kid, I lied to you!

Butcher really did stop for a moment.

Perhaps.

It was because the choices he had made at the previous two signs had both been correct.

Or perhaps it was the habit of stopping whenever he saw a wooden sign.

Either way, Butcher stopped.

However, Butcher soon came under attack.

Rocks rained down from all around, crashing into the convoy.

Vehicles were immediately damaged, and some people were unfortunate enough to be injured.

After coming under attack, Butcher realized he had been tricked again.

He instinctively drove forward.

Only by getting out of this area could he fight more effectively.

Butcher slammed on the accelerator.

However, the vehicle had traveled less than five meters before it lurched.

Pits!

Butcher immediately realized that traps had been laid in the road as well.

Blood Qi instantly emerged from his body.

It covered the Predator's Off-Road Vehicle.

The vehicle was able to keep moving.

But there was not just one pit. That entire stretch was full of them.

After traveling some distance, the Predator's vehicle still overturned.

Butcher had no choice but to get out.

Behind him.

All the vehicles that were going to overturn had overturned.

Many drivers could only try to find a way out, but rocks kept crashing down from the cliff.

Overall.

The scene was rather grim.

"Awooo!"

At that moment, Huang Wei, who had first let the School Bus topple onto the roadside, suddenly sprang into action.

To capture the bandits, first capture their leader.

As long as they dealt with Butcher, they would win this battle.

This was a plan Su Chen had discussed with them at the very beginning.

Su Chen did not attack so soon, instead checking the enemy's information.

He only had two moves. Charging straight in would leave him finished.

He could only strike at a critical moment.

Learning the enemy's information meant knowing both himself and his enemy, improving his chances of a successful strike.

[Name]: Tian Yang

[Sequence]: Butcher

[Level]: Sequence Two

[Ability]: Enhanced Blood Qi. Gains special bonuses when using blades, allowing him to carve up an ox with a master butcher's skill.

[Cost]: Must constantly feel pain. Pain is the source of strength.

Su Chen spotted the hooks in Butcher's mouth at a glance.

So he needed to feel pain?

Carve up an ox with a master butcher's skill?

Su Chen instinctively thought of his Pig-Killing Knife and tightened his grip on it.

Perhaps?

The key to breaking this situation lay here.

Just as Su Chen thought of a way to respond, he saw something he did not want to see.

Butcher, a burly man, was actually fighting with a Dagger.

The Dagger precisely sliced open Huang Wei's body.

In an instant, he was somewhat cut to pieces.

Had he not avoided blows to his vital points, he would already have died.

They were both Sequence Two.

Was the gap really this big?

However, Huang Wei's eyes also turned red in an instant.

Right!

Huang Wei's Cost.

That cost could lead to one of two outcomes.

Triggering Bloodlust.

Bleeding might increase his strength.

Hopefully, he would get the favorable outcome.

Su Chen knew that if Huang Wei could not hold out, he and the others might suffer immediately.

Close in.

Attack!

Seeing what had happened to Huang Wei, Su Chen grew wary as well.

It really did seem difficult to get close.

"Heh, heh, heh..."

As Su Chen pondered, he saw a Motorcycle hurtling toward him.

That was!

Xu Zihao, the Ghoul!

Su Chen recognized the traits of a Ghoul in the drastically changed young man before him.

Information also appeared before his eyes.

[Name]: Xu Zihao

[Sequence]: Corpse Collector

[Level]: Sequence Two

[Ability]: Can vaguely sense nearby vitality and the aura of death, absorb everything within corpses, and read some of the deceased's memories by touching their corpses.

[Cost]: The body gradually dies, becoming a corpse. Must continuously devour corpses to survive.

Looking at Xu Zihao before him, Su Chen felt no regret.

Although he had failed to pull up the roots when cutting the weeds, allowing them to grow again in the spring breeze, he was not afraid either.

After their first encounter, he had already considered how to deal with Xu Zihao.

The situation before him was somewhat difficult to handle, but not impossible.

"Did you kill my grandma?"

As soon as Xu Zihao saw Su Chen, he began questioning him.

"That question isn't important."

"Haven't you noticed something inside your body?"

Su Chen looked at Xu Zihao and spoke calmly.

As he spoke, he also watched the battlefield.

Huang Wei was holding out!

Although Huang Wei was bleeding, his speed and strength had actually increased.

As a result, he had managed to withstand Butcher's attacks.

His method of holding him off was also very simple.

He kept picking up motorcycles and rocks from the ground and hurling them at Butcher.

"What?"

Hearing Su Chen's words, Xu Zihao immediately frowned.

He had indeed eaten something.

Fan Hui had secretly given it to him.

But when he ate it, he had not felt anything unusual at all.

Had that woman set him up?

"Don't forget, there are Sequence users in my team."

"While you were unconscious, we fed you Seeds and implanted metal in your body."

"You're going to die!"

Su Chen directly threatened Xu Zihao.

At that moment, Xu Zihao frowned.

Su Chen was too confident!

Xu Zihao did not doubt Su Chen's words much.

Xu Zihao punched himself in the stomach.

"Urgh..."

Xu Zihao immediately began dry-heaving, trying to vomit out the Seeds in his stomach.

In that instant, Su Chen moved.

The surrounding plants surged up, wrapping around Xu Zihao in an instant.

Holding the Pig-Killing Knife, he slashed down at Xu Zihao.

Su Chen only had one move.

So.

Every one of his attacks had to kill in a single strike.

Xu Zihao's head was severed clean off.

"You lied..."

Only then did Xu Zihao realize he had been tricked.

Su Chen did not stop. He struck both Xu Zihao's heart and his head with the Pig-Killing Knife.

This was to make certain he was completely dead.

"That's right!"

"I lied to you!"

Only after completely killing Xu Zihao did Su Chen add those words.

He admitted there had been an element of gambling involved.

But he had won the gamble!

A child!

He was still just a child.

After killing Xu Zihao, Su Chen felt that in the future, he should take some measures against those who "had to die."

The method he had just described would work quite well.

A setback taught a lesson.

After killing Xu Zihao, Su Chen saw another man appear before him.

It was a man with orange-yellow eyes.

He was clearly a Sequence user.

Another Sequence user?

Su Chen admitted that he had not fully grasped the situation and was somewhat on the back foot.

The Intelligence System scanned him.

[Name]: Ye Tong

[Sequence]: Hawkeye

[Level]: Sequence One

[Ability]: Can see at night and over long distances, and possesses a lighter, more agile body.

[Cost]: Feathers will gradually grow over the body, leading to gradual Feathering.

Sequence One.

He did not seem to have any offensive abilities.

It was just that his name sounded rather intimidating.

At first glance, one might even mistake it for a protagonist's name.

Su Chen felt he had been too nervous. The other man did not look particularly dangerous.

He really had scared himself a little.

Su Chen was considering how to negotiate with Ye Tong.

"Don't move!"

However, Ye Tong did not seem inclined to play by the usual rules. He pulled out a gun.

Ye Tong aimed the muzzle at the man before him.
