ET Chapters 26-30
Monster World (26)
Song Yao pushed the chicken head away a little bit—it was too close.
“We can start preparing now.” He paused, then pushed the old hen that had squeezed over again a bit farther away.
The old hen’s face was full of displeasure, her small eyes revealing strong condemnation.
“Cluck cluck!” Stingy!
Song Yao had the feeling she was cursing at him.
The chicken Zhou Yuan raised also carried his strong personal style—truly remarkable.
A sound of bells rang out as a huge black shadow leaped directly over the fence, rushing toward the laboratory.
Its posture was agile, sleek and glossy.
It’s back! It’s back! It’s back!
“Good evening, Lord Ergou!” Song Yao was the first to speak, with the other shelter residents following suit:
“So it’s Lord Ergou!”
“Lord Ergou is so handsome…”
The giant dog slowed its pace and nodded toward their direction, having fully mastered the essence of leadership inspection.
The three heads smiled in perfect unison, all with the signature mischievous curve unique to huskies.
Ergou quickly disappeared, leaving only a mysterious silhouette.
The old hen showed eyes full of worship, shock, and amazement, unable to recover for a long time.
After dark, Ergou returned home, and the shelter gates no longer needed guarding. Lin Yebai stood up, holding a knife in his left hand and a thermos in his right, unhurried and composed.
The old hen immediately organized her books, picked them up, and followed closely behind Lin Yebai step by step.
The lounge chair and small stool were left in the nearby security room—they were departing tomorrow and might never use them again.
“Brother Lin, I just caught this fish, I’ll carry it back to make soup…”
Zhou Yuan returned at this moment, carrying a two-to-three-meter-long black fish on his shoulder.
He left the shelter squad and followed behind Lin Yebai, using his Zhou-style rhetoric to describe his brave and fearless fishing process.
The fish was still fresh, its tail flapping from time to time, showing a strong will to survive. After getting home, it quickly became a pot of fish soup.
After dinner, Lin Yebai told them about heading north tomorrow.
“Leaving at daybreak?” Coach Wang frowned.
“Dreams have awakened~ hearts no longer afraid?” Zhou Yuan immediately continued the song.
“Be serious, get some rest early tonight.” Coach Wang stepped on Zhou Yuan’s foot.
“You meanie~” Zhou Yuan’s eyes were full of resentment.
Coach Wang’s eye twitched, his fists clenching.
At four in the afternoon, the sky turned completely dark.
Lin Yebai continued reading documents, with only the gentle sound of turning pages remaining in the room—a peaceful silence.
The next day, before departure, Xiahou Yun brought over a seven-seat SUV, proactively opening the car door and inviting Lin Yebai to get in.
In the back seat, a humanoid child sat obediently, holding a teddy bear. As soon as Zhou Yuan got in, he grabbed the child’s chubby cheeks with a mischievous smile.
Coach Wang squeezed into the back seat with his cat carrier and the old hen—the seven-seat car was just enough.
The disaster had come too suddenly, weapons were far from normal people’s lives, and the ammunition they could find was extremely limited. The shelter had always adhered to the principle of saving when possible, mainly placing their hopes on the aberrant squads.
Normal people who hadn’t mutated rode in buses, protected in the middle position, with aberrant squads protecting them front and back.
With life and death at stake, everyone was orderly, boarding vehicles in sequence.
At Song Yao’s command, the vehicles started, driving along previously scouted routes.
After Xiahou Yun developed the serum, aberration had become relatively controllable. Song Yao chose not to use the serum, maintaining human form throughout, managing the shelter in perfect order through his own efforts alone.
[Peace for a Lifetime]: Hope baby can safely reach the destination, the whole family together [Then Just Call Me Your Majesty]: Sweet-talking [Deep Sea Tentacle Monster]: Full of death flag vibes! [Pickled Fish]: I’m already starting to panic!Whether it was Zhou Yuan’s tail or Coach Wang’s eight legs, both were somewhat inconvenient while driving. Xiahou Yun had good driving skills, so he served as driver, steadily following behind the main convoy.
“Little friend, what’s your name?” Zhou Yuan poked the child’s face.
“Wang Zherongyao.” The child suddenly showed eyes that looked down on all living beings, the corners of his mouth rising wildly. (TL: 王者荣耀 wáng zhě róng yào= Honor of Kings)
“Ah this…” Zhou Yuan looked toward Coach Wang, his gaze suddenly becoming profound:
“Same as Old Wang, both surnamed Wang.”
“By the way, Old Wang, I’ve never heard you introduce yourself. What’s your name?”
“Classified.” Coach Wang seemed to remember something unpleasant, his brow furrowing tightly.
“Wang Classified?”
“No.” Coach Wang’s brow furrowed even tighter.
“Wang No?”
“I’ll tell you when there’s a chance.” With so many storms in the past, Coach Wang didn’t want to bring it up.
“Awoo~”
“Awo~”
“Awoo awoo~”
After the convoy had driven some distance, mournful howling came from the direction of the university.
Husky sounds were different from normal dogs—easily recognizable.
With its way of thinking, it couldn’t quite understand why these humans were leaving. With Lord Ergou’s protection, they didn’t have to worry about monster attacks every night—wasn’t that good?
They had praised it for being handsome last night, then left early this morning. Humans really were all heartless liars!
“Awoo~”
The husky’s howling grew closer.
In the rearview mirror, they could see a three-headed giant dog chasing from behind.
It was about to catch up, making everyone somewhat nervous. Ergou’s combat power was not to be underestimated—if it really became aggressive, it would be very difficult for them to escape today. But everyone hoped more that it would catch up and leave together with them.
With only a few dozen meters left, Ergou slowed down, standing quietly without approaching further.
It watched the departing convoy, finally turning around and heading back.
“Goodbye Lord Ergou, we’ll all miss you.”
Song Yao raised a megaphone and shouted, waving to Ergou.
Ergou looked back once but didn’t respond.
The convoy continued forward, the distance between them growing, the bell sounds gradually fading.
Suddenly the bell sounds became urgent as Ergou charged after them again.
But when it was about to catch up a second time, its steps came to an abrupt halt.
It stopped, its howling changing from anger and accusation to grievance, beginning to whimper:
“Awoo woo woo woo…”
“Ah woo…”
It had originally thought, how could the dignified Lord Ergou cry? If these shit-shovelers weren’t useful, just replace them with another batch—there were more and better shit-shovelers waiting for its summons.
Then it realized it was just a little dog and didn’t need to care about human opinions at all, tears flowing uncontrollably.
“Awoo woo woo woo…”
The crying continued for a long time, with Xiahou Yun frequently checking the rearview mirror until Ergou became a small black dot and could no longer be seen.
“Why did Ergou stay there?” Zhou Yuan was also feeling bad.
“Waiting for its former master.” Xiahou Yun sighed slightly, telling Ergou’s story:
“Ergou was raised by a retired old professor. The professor had no children and no other relatives, treating Ergou very well. Later, when the professor’s condition worsened, he sent Ergou to a friend’s house, and he passed away soon after.”
“Ergou ran to the school every day, unwilling to be adopted, always staying at school waiting for the old professor to return.”
“The professor used to take it to the park for walks. It remembered the route and would walk itself every day, only returning at night.”
After Xiahou Yun finished speaking, everyone in the car fell silent, all feeling somewhat sentimental.
“It should know the old professor passed away by now, right?” Zhou Yuan asked.
“Mm, all the bodies in the morgue came back to life. It thinks the old professor will return too.” Xiahou Yun’s voice was heavy.
“The old professor’s body isn’t in the morgue?”
“He chose to be buried with his wife.”
In most areas, cremation was required before burial.
“Sigh…” Zhou Yuan looked dejected, his whole person lacking energy, though he confirmed one thing:
“Dr. Xia, when you said you came from underground, you were just scaring me, right?”
“Are you a teacher or professor here?”
“I used to work at a medical research institute, later became a fellow patient with the old professor.” Xiahou Yun kept it brief, not going into detail, leaving room for imagination.
After the convoy had driven some distance, strange sounds came from behind. The sounds grew closer, like something chasing in groups.
Song Yao ordered acceleration, but the sounds still caught up, vast and mighty, creating a strong sense of crisis.
As dawn approached, the entire city was shrouded in a thin layer of gray mist that didn’t affect visibility. The pursuing creatures gradually revealed themselves.
Countless aberrants converged toward the convoy’s direction—most were humanoid, mixed with huge mutated animals. They cooperated with each other without infighting, clearly under someone’s control.
Compared to this, the group of aberrants that had run a marathon behind the truck the night before was nothing.
During the day, aberrants hid in dark places. This dense appearance exposed their various hideous forms to the light, making people’s scalps tingle and bodies go numb.
“Don’t panic. We’ll cross a big bridge, then blow up the bridge piers to stop them.” Song Yao calmed down and quickly thought of a solution.
Zhang San held a megaphone, standing among the aberrant crowd with a half-smile, turning the volume to maximum:
“The entire city is Lord Factory Manager’s territory. You are all Factory Manager’s slaves—where do you think you’re going?”
“Stop now and you still have a chance to live.”
“Keep driving and only death awaits you!”
“Drive!” Song Yao remained unmoved. Putting one’s life in someone else’s hands and hoping for kind treatment was undoubtedly foolish.
Zhang San continued shouting:
“I also want to thank Dr. Xia from your shelter for tipping me off. Without him, I wouldn’t have known you were escaping!”
“Dr. Xia has already seen the light. Those of you with sense should follow Dr. Xia and come over.”
“Surrender now and get upgraded treatment.”
“If you insist on resisting and we catch you, you’ll be the lowest slaves…”
“Dr. Xia?” Zhou Yuan remembered the photo he’d taken earlier, half-believing. Xiahou Yun had met Zhang San privately not long ago. Could it really be that Xiahou Yun had sold out the shelter’s information?
“That’s not true.” Xiahou Yun’s face was dark, his ears tense, his hands gripping the steering wheel with visible veins, burning with anger at Zhang San’s words.
Song Yao’s clear voice came through the megaphone:
“Everyone knows what kind of person Dr. Xia is.”
“Don’t listen to Zhang San’s lies. Prepare for battle.”
“If we stay here, they’ll capture us and consume us completely. If we break through, we still have a chance.”
[Class Representative]: I am Xiahou Yun, and right now I want to say: “My surname is Xiahou.” [Watermelon Patch Sinner]: This is a successful class representative [Peace for a Lifetime]: Hope baby safely gets through this crisis, the whole family together, amen [The Ordinary Me]: Peace, say that one more time and I’ll knock your head off [Wang Situ]: The enemy is numerous while we are few—we cannot match them in strength [Watermelon Patch Sinner]: Join Dr. Xia in seeing the light, first infiltrate the enemy, then slowly undermine them?Lin Yebai unscrewed his thermos and took a sip of water.
Everyone in the car looked over, deeply moved by his composure and calm.
“Won’t have time to drink water later.” Lin Yebai explained.
Looking at the countless aberrants, Xiahou Yun made a difficult decision:
“Mr. Lin, I could surrender—perhaps you all could escape unscathed.”
“I don’t want to surrender.” Lin Yebai screwed the thermos cap tight and slowly wiped the bone knife in his hand.
Monster World (27)
Those hands were flawless and perfect. His fingers were slender with distinct knuckles. The thin calluses that had originally formed from sword practice had completely disappeared after being healed by the Main God Space. Resting on the bone blade, he appeared gentle and leisurely, like a young master from an aristocratic family admiring his collection, without a trace of killing intent.
No matter when, Lin Yebai always possessed a kind of harmonious and composed bearing. His spine was straight, his figure upright, as if nothing and no one in this world could make him bow his head.
And now, facing such a dangerous situation, he still chose to meet it head-on.
Even after making such a perilous decision, he remained calm and unhurried, making one’s heart surrender in admiration.
Xiahou Yun gazed at Lin Yebai with even more fervent eyes, with a kind of pathological devotion. Even his fox ears drooped down softly, his whole being immersed in indescribable excitement.
However, Lin Yebai only focused on examining the knife, not sparing Xiahou Yun a single glance.
[Soft Cat Ears]: Inseparable from baby every day, just lying around to win, the bone knife might become life’s winner [Blooming Wealth]: Wouldn’t that thermos be blissfully happy to death? [Kang Shuai Fu Iced Black Tea]: Dr. Xia’s symptoms are getting a bit intense [Peace for a Lifetime]: So many monsters, they’re almost rushing up, so worried! Hope baby can safely get through this, Amen [Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Brothers, throw that guy called Peace out Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and spoke first:“Brother Lin, if I die, you must bury the USB drive from my backpack with me. There’s still stuff in there I haven’t finished watching…”
“Zhou Yuan——” Zhang San suddenly raised his megaphone and shouted wildly, his voice penetrating and powerful, echoing through the clouds:
“Zhou Yuan, I know you’re listening!!!”
“I love you——”
“I want to confess to you in front of the whole world…”
“Damn!” Zhou Yuan’s face turned green with anger, clenching his fists tightly.
[Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Meow, scared me so much my fur stood up, totally caught off guard [Lord of the Gods]: 23333 [Abyss Monarch]: A trace of bewilderment flashed through his deep starlike eyes, the corner of his mouth lifted, letting out laughter: “Keh keh keh keh keh…” [Crispy Shark]: Beep! Looking everywhere for my head card At this moment, the atmosphere in the car changed. Coach Wang desperately pursed his lips, afraid he might burst out laughing.Young Wang Zherongyao hugged his toy bear, his pupils trembling violently. He never expected that Brother Zhang San actually really liked Zhou Yuan!
A dignified workshop director with such a bright future, why would he think of liking the fierce and nasty Zhou Snake Spirit?
“Why does he know my name?” Zhou Yuan suddenly thrust his head toward the front seat, staring at Xiahou Yun, the small snakes on his head hissing coldly.
“That’s right, it’s exactly what you think.” Xiahou Yun nodded calmly.
“You betrayed your comrade, betrayed the organization. Are you even human?” Zhou Yuan’s eyes almost shot fire as he grabbed Xiahou Yun’s collar.
“He really gave too much.” Xiahou Yun coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed.
“How much?” Zhou Yuan’s expression remained fierce.
“One hundred blood pearls.”
“Give me half.” Zhou Yuan smiled, instantly like spring rain, immediately letting go and helping Xiahou Yun smooth out the wrinkles in his collar that he had caused.
“I’ll give you all of it.” Xiahou Yun had actually sold for two hundred blood pearls, but Zhou Yuan didn’t need to know that.
His fox tail quietly swayed, swaying~ swaying~
“Good brother.” Zhou Yuan patted Xiahou Yun’s shoulder and drew his head back.
Lin Yebai hadn’t expected blood pearls to be so easy to obtain. The joy that the blood pearls in the sack brought him seemed somewhat diminished.
“This song is dedicated to my beloved Zhou Yuan~”
“I’ll sing it well, I’ll definitely let you see my sincerity!”
Zhang San raised his megaphone, straddling a huge mutated pig, and began singing loudly:
“String your heart and my heart together~”
“String a lucky clover~ string a concentric circle~”
The aberrants unconsciously swayed their bodies to the music’s rhythm.
Some aberrant aunties skilled in square dancing were already dancing in the crowd.
“Loudly call to the sky, I love you~”
“To those wandering white clouds, say I miss you~”
….
“Let us love freely!”
Lin Yebai wanted to speak but hesitated. Looking back, Zhang San was chasing them riding a pig, followed by a vast army of aberrants, occasionally swaying their bodies, spinning and jumping. He finally spoke, asking:
“Do people here always accompany their declarations of love with song and dance?”
“Pfft——” Someone was laughing.
Zhou Yuan looked back, everything was peaceful.
Coach Wang had a solemn expression, Wang Zherongyao was tightly hugging his toy bear, the little spiders were obediently staying in the cat carrier, listening to mommy and not making sounds in front of strangers.
No one was laughing, it seemed to be just an illusion.
Zhou Yuan didn’t know how to explain to Lin Yebai that the Rat King from last time had also suddenly started singing. This was really too bizarre.
“There’s no such custom, it’s just Zhang San being too…”
“Pfft——” Someone snickered again.
Zhou Yuan observed carefully, everyone looked serious.
He suppressed his anger and explained:
“What Zhang San is doing isn’t courtship, it’s madness! His brain must have been kicked by a pig!”
Zhang San had left Zhou Yuan with enormous psychological trauma. All of this could have been avoided. Zhou Yuan glared viciously at Xiahou Yun:
“Dr. Xia, one hundred isn’t enough! At least one hundred fifty!”
“That’s too much, I’d have to pay extra.” Xiahou Yun frowned.
“No way, it must be one hundred fifty. We’re about to fight, why are you still haggling!”
“Fine then.” Xiahou Yun was very reluctant but grudgingly agreed.
Still made fifty profit, his fox tail quietly swayed, swaying~ swaying~
The entire convoy was traveling at maximum speed. The front cars had already reached the bridge; a little faster and they could escape.
They were originally at the rear position. Zhang San sang to the climax, squeezed his legs, and the pig he was riding suddenly charged forward, accelerating!
“Holy crap, pig rush!”
Zhou Yuan panicked. Zhang San was about to catch up. Just seeing Zhang San’s ugly face made his fists itch unbearably.
“Stop them! Don’t let them get on the bridge!”
At Zhang San’s command, countless aberrants tumbled and crawled, pouncing toward the tail of the convoy.
The last car was forced to stop. The windows were quickly broken, and battle was about to erupt.
“Continue forward.” Song Yao ordered.
The priority was crossing the bridge. There were simply too many aberrants; providing aid would only trap the others here as well.
Zhang San saw a green figure in the distance, his eyes lighting up:
“Zhou Yuan——”
“I see you…”
“Your snake tail is still so charming, so hot——”
“Yuan Yuan! Wait for me…”
Zhou Yuan punched the seat behind Xiahou Yun, gritting his teeth:
“Xiahou Yun! You didn’t tell him I’m a fucking man!”
“What? He doesn’t know you’re a man!” Xiahou Yun was even more surprised.
Coach Wang’s gaze suddenly became profound as he analyzed seriously:
“Marxism tells us that things have two sides. If things go badly, Zhou Yuan could still cross-dress and hook up with Zhang San…”
“Then use his blood pearls and beat up his underlings…”
Wang Zherongyao, who had been watching the whole time, shuddered violently. There wasn’t a single good person in this car! For someone as young as him, this was truly terrifying!
“Actually makes some sense…” Zhou Yuan fell into contemplation.
[Watermelon Patch Sinner]: Pretty boy furrowed his brow, discovered it made some sense [Truth Supreme]: I can’t wait to see what happens next [Man Upon Man]: Hurry up! Hurry up! [Magician’s Big Zen Staff]: I want to see too, Amitabha Zhang San grabbed a nearby aberrant and hurled it at the car Zhou Yuan was in.With a loud crash, the rear window instantly cracked.
Xiahou Yun remained very calm and continued driving forward.
“Yuan Yuan, your Prince Charming is here——”
Zhang San slapped the big fat pig hard, but the pig suddenly stopped moving, stuck up its rear, and let out three loud farts in succession.
Perhaps because its body had grown larger, the stench was also amplified. Zhou Yuan’s face turned even greener as he desperately held his nose:
“The smell is too strong… ugh…”
Zhang San was embarrassed and somewhat frantic, frantically beating the pig’s rear:
“Damn! Run for me, no pooping allowed!”
“Run… hold it in…”
However, the pig defecated even faster, an endless torrent spanning the horizon.
Zhang San was enveloped in the intense stench and began retching too.
If there had been any other option, he wouldn’t have chosen to ride a pig.
But while good pigs were common, thousand-li horses were rare.
This pig was already quite a decent mount.
“Dr. Xia, go faster, we can definitely shake him off…”
Zhou Yuan was extremely relieved to see Zhang San held up.
The good times didn’t last long. After the big fat pig took care of its biological needs, it felt light and moved even faster, quickly catching up behind their car and ramming directly into it.
“Stop the car!”
“Stop the car now!”
“Give me back my wife!”
Zhang San threatened with his megaphone:
“If you don’t stop I’ll have this pig ram your car off the bridge!”
“I believe my wife won’t die!”
Zhang San didn’t just say this, he actually did it.
The SUV was rammed askew several times, already deviating from its original route. Everyone in the car was very nervous, afraid of falling directly off the bridge.
Xiahou Yun’s expression became serious as he reminded everyone:
“Prepare for battle!”
He suddenly stopped the car. Before he could open the door, the outside was instantly crowded with aberrants like a tide.
“Damn!” Zhou Yuan whipped his snake hair and grabbed two cleaver knives, ready to get out.
Time was too short; he hadn’t been able to learn knife techniques from Lin Yebai, only some small monster-killing tricks. For example, where to cut for the easiest kill, or how to strike more efficiently.
Today’s Zhou Yuan was an emotionless killer with only one goal: to chop off Zhang San’s dog head.
“Wait a moment.” Lin Yebai coughed lightly twice, his brow slightly furrowed, appearing even more frail, as if he might fall ill from the slightest breeze.
The blood aura carried by the aberrants was too heavy, somewhat choking, and it stirred the deep craving for slaughter within him. Those blood-red eyes became even brighter, with hidden anticipation for what was to come.
He opened the passenger door, and countless arms reached in.
In an instant, blade light flashed.
Before anyone could see clearly, many severed arms rolled on the ground.
Lin Yebai supported himself on the car door, leaning out most of his body, unhurried and calm. He slightly raised his eyes, meeting Zhang San’s gaze directly as he rode his pig.
Zhang San instantly felt a pain in his rear, and indescribable fear crept into his heart.
[I Am a Little Green Dragon]: Oh no! It’s that man♂ [Watermelon Patch Sinner]: Butt, danger! [Soft Cat Ears]: Baby’s eyes lit up, it’s the scent of points!“How have you been?” Lin Yebai politely greeted him.
Zhang San’s heart jumped. Why is he actively asking about me?
He must be concerned about me.
When he looks at me, his eyes are so bright, like they’re glowing.
My god! Why must such a handsome me be cared for by a man?
Ah, this damned, overwhelming charm!
It’s only been one meeting, maybe he’s been secretly watching me before?
How painful! He must have been coveting me for a long time! Otherwise he wouldn’t have stabbed my butt directly last time…
Eek! So perverted!
Zhang San shuddered violently, glaring at Lin Yebai with shame and anger:
“I, I won’t fall in love with you, I already have someone I like!”
[Braised Big Rabbit Leg]: Oh my! Just entered the livestream and saw this! So exciting! [Support Radish North]: That long-haired little brother couldn’t be the host, could he? Shocked, did he confess to the pig-riding guy??? No way! No way! No way!!! How could anyone like this type!Monster World (28)
[The Ordinary Me]: The host isn’t someone who judges by appearances [Truth Supreme]: In this materialistic age, there aren’t many simple people like the host [Fu Luo Bei]: Eyes gradually becoming vacant Lin Yebai’s gaze slightly froze. He had never anticipated such a situation and couldn’t think of words to refute for a moment. Blood light flickered in his eyes as he locked onto Zhang San.Zhang San’s heart pounded like a drum, filled with shame and anger as he scolded:
“Dead ghost! What are you looking at! My body and soul belong to my wife!”
Lin Yebai could no longer stand still and walked toward Zhang San step by step with his knife.
This creature must die.
“Attack!” Zhang San didn’t dare advance lightly and signaled for other aberrants to surround and kill Lin Yebai.
He patted the big fat pig’s rear, urging it to circle around.
Zhang San had always been very confident. Since childhood, he felt he wasn’t an ordinary person and would surely achieve great things in the future.
For over twenty years, he remained mediocre, facing the world’s cold stares with a smile. When the blood moon descended and the world changed drastically, he finally gained the long legs he had dreamed of and acquired an extremely special constitution!
His body became like rubber, with tremendous elasticity. Ordinary physical attacks couldn’t work on him, and his defensive power was extremely strong, making him nearly invincible in battle.
Lin Yebai’s appearance, however, shattered the originally harmonious situation.
The special constitution made Zhang San’s wounds difficult to heal, and they still ached faintly. Seeing Lin Yebai made the wounds hurt even more, constantly reminding Zhang San of just how terrifying this knife-wielding man was!
Zhang San had temporary management authority over low-level aberrants. With just a wave of his hand, many charged toward Lin Yebai. No matter how strong he was, under the human wave tactic, he would eventually become food for the aberrants.
Lin Yebai moved first to clear the aberrants around the vehicles, making it convenient for Xiahou Yun and the others to come out.
As Zhang San rode his pig in retreat, Lin Yebai wasn’t in a hurry.
With a swift motion, the knife came down, he cut through the air with sharp breaking sounds. The nearest aberrant’s head fell to the ground, and dark blood gushed out, quickly staining the ground red.
It was no longer just physical attacks. The knife intent carried internal energy, and without the bone knife needing to actually touch the aberrants’ necks, a single ethereal slash could make five or six heads fall to the ground.
The nearby area was quickly cleared by Lin Yebai, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.
The aberrants weren’t slow, but when they rushed toward him, rather than attacking, they seemed to actively extend their heads, seeking completeness.
He remained unhurried throughout, calmly drawing his knife with an exceptionally serious expression. Each strike was steady, displaying textbook-perfect technique.
[Magician’s Big Zen Staff]: Sending people to reincarnation is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Amitabha [Uchiha Boba Milk Tea]: Instantly felt it made sense, then suddenly frowned [Braised Big Chicken Leg]: Love it, love it! [Crispy Shark]: Baby looks so good! Looks good from every angle Zhou Yuan and the others watched in stunned silence from the car, filled with amazement, shock, reverence, and fervor. When something displays extremely high skill, it becomes pleasing to the eye. Even killing becomes an art form, inspiring trembling awe, making one want to praise and submit.Lin Yebai was obviously much stronger than when he killed the Rat King. His growth rate was too fast.
“You can continue driving. I’ll delay them from behind for a while.” Lin Yebai signaled for Xiahou Yun to get in the car.
The vehicles at the front should have already crossed the bridge. Only four or five vehicles were being held up, including a bus where aberrants were climbing through broken windows as terrified screams continued without end.
On the other side, Zhang San looked at the panicked crowd and laughed maniacally.
“Hahahahahaha…”
“I told you all to surrender long ago. If you were lucky, you might have lived.”
Zhang San’s eyes held mockery as he spoke sarcastically.
“Sir, I’ll go with you.” Xiahou Yun was already dazzled. If they weren’t on a battlefield, he would have already begun expressing the surging emotions in his heart.
“I’ll kill Zhang San. You go over there.” Lin Yebai looked toward where the bus was located.
Except for Song Yao, he hadn’t conversed with other normal humans. Occasionally when he encountered them, those people would look at him with reverence and curiosity, reminding Lin Yebai of subjects from another world. He couldn’t bear to watch them be devoured by aberrants.
“Understood.” Xiahou Yun didn’t need to prepare weapons either. He casually grabbed a relatively sturdy aberrant, held it by the ankle, used it as a large hammer, swung it in a circle, and instantly cleared the area.
If the “hammer” in his hands broke, he would just pick another one.
Xiahou Yun’s wild fighting style instantly cleared the aberrants near the bus. The engine wasn’t broken and could still run. Several aberrants were thrown out by the passengers working together, and the bus drove toward the other end of the bridge with Xiahou Yun covering the rear.
Zhang San, riding the big fat pig, was darting around the entire bridge. Seeing the bus about to leave, he directly had the big fat pig ram into Xiahou Yun.
Even though Xiahou Yun was someone the factory director personally wanted, Zhang San didn’t want to leave him alive. Xiahou Yun, who was proficient in medicine, would surely divide the factory director’s attention.
In this kind of place, accidents happened easily. If Xiahou Yun died here, the factory director surely wouldn’t punish him too severely.
The noise was too chaotic, so the smugly smiling Zhang San didn’t hear the sound of air being split behind him.
The moment the big fat pig charged toward Xiahou Yun, its hind legs lifted and it bucked violently, sending Zhang San flying and briefly separating him from the pig’s back.
The fangs, carrying sharp blade intent, accurately pierced Zhang San’s buttocks.
He was wearing tight pants, his buttocks tightly stretched and particularly prominent. At this moment, each buttock had a tusk pierced through it, quite symmetrically.
[Man Upon Man]: Ah this… [Class Representative]: Buttocks have a lot of meat and are bouncy, covering a large area, easy to target, and have no hard bones. Compared to other body parts, injuring the buttocks can more quickly enrage Zhang San and affect his combat state. [I Am a Little Green Dragon]: The class representative is right, baby is really a little genius, but will Zhang San really be enraged? [Abyss Monarch]: Frowning, deep eyes flashing with three parts mockery, three parts coldness, and four parts indifference, thin lips slightly parted: “I don’t think so. He’ll definitely think that after baby’s courtship failed, he became angry from embarrassment.” [Literary Mentor]: Abyss big boss makes a good point Lin Yebai’s mood was subtle. He hadn’t intended to pierce Zhang San’s buttocks. If the big fat pig hadn’t thrown Zhang San up, those two fangs should have pierced Zhang San’s shoulders.“Ahhhh——”
Zhang San suddenly let out a miserable scream. The powerful defensive ability came with correspondingly more intense pain when injured.
Both buttocks were hit!
He pulled out one fang, blood splattering everywhere, a miserable sight, like a water-filled plastic bag that had been poked with a hole, frantically leaking.
Zhang San immediately plugged it back in, doubling the pain.
“Owwww——”
What was stuck in his buttocks, no one knew better than him.
Those were teeth from a factory employee.
After returning last time, he had looked for a long time before remembering a missing employee whose teeth looked just like this. He inexplicably felt like his buttocks had been bitten by that employee… no, bitten three times.
He was no longer clean. From that day on, he was no longer clean.
Zhang San’s eyes became vacant as he forgot to resist the inertia from gravity.
His buttocks slammed down hard, the fangs piercing into the big fat pig’s back, instantly penetrating the pig skin and tightly connecting man and pig together.
[Sexy Spider Louis]: Watching this made my buttocks hurt… oh, I don’t have buttocks [The Ordinary Me]: Perhaps this is what a pig knight looks like [Happy Little Sweet Badger]: This inevitably reminds me of the song Zhang San sang, it really got strung together, too bad it didn’t form a perfect circle“Ah!!!” Zhang San screamed first.
“Ahhhhhhh——” The big fat pig’s screams followed.
Its back suddenly hurt, and it was startled, rushing blindly toward the bridge’s edge, crashing through the guardrail and falling heavily.
Xiahou Yun, who had just dodged the big fat pig’s charge, watched this scene with his mouth agape, then quickly looked toward Lin Yebai, his tail wagging so fast it left afterimages.
Worthy of being my lord! A simple move that achieved a double kill effect!
Zhou Yuan and Coach Wang had originally been helping the shelter’s aberrant squad escape, but because of Zhang San’s frequent screams, they were also paying attention to the situation here.
When they heard the pig’s cries and turned around, the big fat pig had already fallen. It let out an extremely shrill and terrified scream, sharp and piercing, instantly drowning out all other sounds.
The scene of that big fat pig falling from the bridge was too shocking.
The pig’s cries would remain in everyone’s hearts forever.
Before this, Lin Yebai hadn’t expected the situation to develop in such a strange direction.
He stood at the bridge’s edge looking down, the riverside wind blowing through his long hair, his features cold and his temperament otherworldly.
Zhang San hung there, trying to climb up. The intense pain and blood loss made his strength suddenly fail, unable to directly climb back onto the bridge. He couldn’t swim, and even if he could, falling into the river from this height would make survival very difficult.
Xiahou Yun walked over and looked down at Zhang San from above.
He lifted his foot near Zhang San’s hand and smiled.
“Guess what – will I step on your left hand or your right hand?”
“Dr. Xia, we’ve cooperated so many times before and have some relationship. Why must we fight to the death?” Zhang San’s face was pale, no longer showing his usual arrogance.
“What relationship? Having you ride a pig to ram me?” Xiahou Yun’s eyes gradually became dangerous as he lifted his foot, pretending to step on Zhang San’s left hand.
Zhang San immediately pulled back his left hand, leaving only his right hand gripping the bridge edge, bearing his entire body weight.
Xiahou Yun feinted again, pretending to step on his right hand.
Zhang San quickly switched to his left hand and showed Xiahou Yun a pitiful, flattering smile.
“People make mistakes sometimes. I had no choice before, but now I want to be a good person.”
Xiahou Yun seemed moved by him, his tail slowly wagging as if hesitating whether to spare Zhang San.
[Truth Supreme]: Tearful [Watermelon Patch Sinner]: Zhang San is an old movie person [Blind Student]: Tell me, did Dr. Xia cut a hole in the back of his pants specifically for his tail?Xiahou Yun rubbed his thumb and index finger together slightly, smiling warmly as he asked:
“You understand what I mean, right?”
“I understand. I still have three hundred blood beads, they’re all yours, Dr. Xia.”
“Not enough.” Xiahou Yun sighed softly.
“I really don’t have any more. Last time I gave you two hundred, these three hundred are my last…”
“What two hundred?”
Zhou Yuan was about ten meters away, but with his exceptional hearing, he successfully caught the sensitive phrase.
“Just three hundred then.” Xiahou Yun’s expression turned cold, not wanting to discuss further with Zhang San. If they continued talking, Zhou Yuan would find out.
“Dr. Xia, I think I heard ‘two hundred,’ what two hundred?” Zhou Yuan cut down several aberrants and swam over.
“Nothing.” Xiahou Yun’s gaze held a warning as he looked at Zhang San.
Zhang San thought Xiahou Yun wanted to keep it all for himself and showed an ‘I understand’ expression. Worthy of being Dr. Xia, such an old fox! Really cunning, but also blinded by wealth.
Actually, he had secretly kept five hundred blood beads, planning to live with his wife. As long as he didn’t die, their little life would still be quite comfortable.
Zhang San’s sharp eyes spotted Zhou Yuan’s tail, and his whole body surged with strength as he suddenly climbed back onto the bridge.
“Wife!” Zhang San’s eyes lit up with some joy of surviving disaster and some grievance.
His buttocks hurt x3.
Zhou Yuan instantly showed the expression of a subway elder looking at a phone, not even glancing at Zhang San. He wasn’t worthy.
“First tell me where you hid the blood beads, or I can push you down a second time.” Xiahou Yun interrupted Zhang San’s process of pouring out his feelings.
“Alright.” Zhang San was very honest.
He felt Xiahou Yun probably wouldn’t actually kill him.
Xiahou Yun knew how powerful the factory director was, and as the factory director’s trusted subordinate, if he, Zhang San, died here, it would make the factory director furious.
“They’re hidden under the trash can at Building 11, Unit 2 of Tianxing Garden residential complex.” Zhang San’s tone was frank, but he was secretly pleased. As long as he escaped this disaster, he could welcome a happy life afterward. No matter how clever Xiahou Yun was, wasn’t he still deceived by him?
“Good.” Xiahou Yun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his smile much more genuine as he looked toward Lin Yebai:
“Sir, now we can kill him.”
“Zhang San, such a lawless thug who has repeatedly spoken insolently and offended you, should rightfully die under your knife, ending his mediocre life.”
“Mm.” Lin Yebai slowly raised his hand, placing the knife against Zhang San’s neck.
Zhang San’s pupils dilated in shock, sweat pouring down like rain.
Monster World (29)
In Lin Yebai’s eyes, Zhang San becoming points was the best outcome. Without stopping, the blade was covered with a thin layer of blade intent:
“Spare his life——” A male voice suddenly came from the distance, with extremely strong penetrating power. But that person was too far away, everyone could only see a small black dot, and no one paid much attention.
[Big White Rabbit Milk Candy]: The classic scene has appeared [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon]: Place your bets, guess whether Zhang San will die today [The Ordinary Me]: I think he will [Class Representative]: I think so too Lin Yebai glanced toward where the voice came from.“I still have five hundred blood pearls……” Zhang San found an opportunity and hurriedly spoke his last bargaining chip.
If he didn’t speak now, he might die.
“Where are they?” Lin Yebai saw that Zhang San didn’t seem very smart, so he asked tentatively.
Perhaps he could get an answer, which would be some gain.
“If I tell you, will you let me go?” Zhang San looked at the factory director getting closer and closer, feeling that he might escape disaster.
Lin Yebai didn’t agree, the blade penetrated more than half an inch into Zhang San’s neck.
“I’ll tell… I’ll only tell Zhou Yuan, is that okay?” Zhang San’s face was deathly pale, tears rolling down.
Zhou Yuan was one of his own people, and would become his wife sooner or later anyway.
Lin Yebai looked toward Zhou Yuan.
Even though very reluctant, thinking of the huge sum in Zhang San’s hands, Zhou Yuan was still tempted and nodded slightly.
“Put your head over here, I’ll whisper it in your ear.” Zhang San was delighted – Zhou Yuan was actually willing to listen, what did this mean? It meant Zhou Yuan accepted him.
Zhou Yuan frowned, his face full of disgust, very reluctantly cooperating with Zhang San, finally hearing clearly the location Zhang San mentioned.
“Yuan Yuan, don’t you have something you want to say to me?” Zhang San felt his bold confession today was very romantic – any girl would be moved.
“Yes……” Having learned the whereabouts of the five hundred blood pearls, Zhou Yuan was in a good mood. Even if he gave Brother Lin four hundred, he could still keep one hundred. His eyes even curved slightly, extremely bright.
“Ah……” Zhang San’s eyes lit up. Was what he most anticipated finally going to happen?
Sure enough, true love had to go through the trials of life and death to transform.
Zhou Yuan leaned close to Zhang San’s ear, lowered his voice and quietly said something.
[Literary Mentor]: Who is it beside me~ saying~ love me never changes [Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Just for this one sentence~ even heartbreak brings no regret~ [Watermelon Patch Sinner]: Rain heartbroken~ wind in tears~Lin Yebai had good hearing – whether it was Zhang San’s location for hiding the 500 blood pearls, or what Zhou Yuan said, he heard everything clearly.
Zhang San’s body suddenly trembled, pupils constricted, heart dead as ash, eyeballs slightly protruding, looking at Zhou Yuan in disbelief, lips trembling slightly, wanting to speak but stopping.
The next moment, his head flew out, rolled on the ground, bounced several meters high, bouncing continuously.
Worthy of its rubber texture, extraordinarily bouncy.
[Killed intermediate aberrant x1]
[Points +500]
Lin Yebai was somewhat disappointed, but not surprised. Although Zhang San had a special constitution, his actual combat power hadn’t exceeded the limits of intermediate aberrants, still having major flaws, far inferior to Ergou.
“Such audacity, daring to kill even my workshop head——”
The male voice got closer and closer, with a fat body shape that looked like a meat ball with wings from a distance, flying at decent speed, looking somewhat comical.
“Xiahou Yun, are you willing to serve me?” The only aberrant he cared about was Xiahou Yun – a doctor, too precious.
“Factory Owner Daren is joking. Being able to serve you is my honor.” Xiahou Yun smiled slightly, seeming extremely honored, but in his heart was thinking about Zhang San’s five hundred blood pearls. If he could scrape some out and offer them to Lin Yebai, that would be even better.
“Good, you’re indeed someone who knows the times. Since that’s the case, kneel down and kowtow three times to me.” The flying fat man had a face full of flesh, eyes squeezed into thin slits, heavy dark circles, looking extremely arrogant. Strange black mist swirled around his body, with powerful aura that couldn’t be ignored, faintly feeling like it exceeded Ergou.
“Factory Owner Daren, you’re joking……” A hint of coldness flashed in Xiahou Yun’s eyes.
“You said you’d serve me, so from now on your life belongs to me. How can you be unwilling to even kneel and kowtow?”
“And you others, if you also want to serve me, kneel down together.”
The factory director raised his chin, looking at the others with strong contempt and disdain.
“Unwilling to kneel? Then this factory director can only reluctantly accept your blood pearls.”
“Attack! Tear their flesh off piece by piece.”
The factory director’s voice was shrill, instantly reminding people of eunuchs in TV dramas, speaking in a strange, affected manner. He didn’t attack personally, seemingly feeling it beneath his dignity. Spreading his wings, he flew dozens of meters away, only watching coldly from the side.
The mindless low-level aberrants were the most numerous and also the most worthless. No matter how many died, he wouldn’t care. If he could beat Xiahou Yun and the others half to death, then subdue them, it would be much more worthwhile than a bunch of useless low-level aberrants. As for taking action personally… that didn’t suit his noble status. As a superior, how could he do everything personally?
The aberrants were extremely numerous. After a batch was killed, the remaining aberrants continuously surged onto the bridge. Unlike Zhang San’s command, the factory director had absolute control. Under his command, those aberrants had black mist pouring from their eyes, mouths and noses, their combat power improved by more than one level, completely frenzied, as if wanting to burn all the essence of the blood pearls in their skulls, very troublesome.
Even though Zhou Yuan and Coach Wang weren’t ordinary low-level aberrants, they still struggled greatly to cope. Xiahou Yun was much better, still able to share others’ pressure.
On the other side of the bridge, huge rumbling sounds suddenly came.
To block the aberrants catching up, they chose to blow up the bridge. The remaining people’s faces instantly became very ugly, especially Xiahou Yun.
He had a good relationship with Song Yao and had provided considerable help for establishing the shelter. Although he had always hidden things from Song Yao, he had never thought of betrayal, much less betrayed the shelter even once.
“You all retreat.” Lin Yebai had anticipated this long ago, telling Zhou Yuan and others to retreat to land.
The bridge was only half blown up, the remaining half was still solid, but fighting on the bridge made it easy to fall into the river.
“Sir?” Xiahou Yun wanted to stay close to Lin Yebai at all times.
“You go with them too.” Lin Yebai already had a plan in mind.
“Yes.” Xiahou Yun pulled open the deformed car door, dragging out Wang Zherongyao who was hiding inside playing dead.
“Cluck cluck cluck……” The old hen huddled sadly in the trunk, long forgotten by everyone.
Xiahou Yun casually picked it up, receiving the old hen’s extremely grateful look.
“Brother Lin, be careful.” Zhou Yuan actually wasn’t worried about Lin Yebai’s safety.
Brother Lin definitely wasn’t someone who would actively sacrifice himself for others. Having them retreat must mean he had other plans – they just needed to protect their own lives.
Apart from Zhou Yuan, Coach Wang, and Xiahou Yun’s group, everyone else from the shelter had perished.
On the other side of the bridge, Song Yao and others might have escaped danger – the factory director showed no intention of flying over.
Lin Yebai first sent Zhou Yuan and others back to land, then with swift blade work, heads rolled and fell, attracting countless aberrants.
The bridge was already broken. The completely mindless aberrants followed Lin Yebai rushing toward the break, falling into the river like dumplings, while Lin Yebai used this gap to fly out with light movement skills, stepping on the many aberrant heads, casually harvesting some points.
Originally the factory director paid more attention to Xiahou Yun, but Lin Yebai’s operation was too impressive, inevitably drawing more of his attention.
“My goodness, Brother Lin is truly Brother Lin.” Zhou Yuan was dumbfounded.
All the aberrants were led away by Lin Yebai to perform free-fall exercises, actually making Zhou Yuan and others on the highway much safer.
[Turkey Flavored Crispy Rice]: Now entering the stage is the aberrant diving team from the abyssal radiation world. What good results will they bring? Stay tuned—— [Sweet and Sour Pork Intestine]: This is a group of vigorous athletes, here they come! They rush toward the diving board, directly free-falling. Oh, look at that bald aberrant, its diving posture looks so good! [Man Upon Man]: Long-awaited diving competition, simply makes one’s blood boil! [Charcoal Grilled Great Demon Dragon]: All Heavens Food Delivery, fast no matter what you eat Lin Yebai could no longer look directly at the barrage. He was waiting to see when the factory director would personally enter the battle.Zhang San’s head was still on the bridge, not carried down by the continuously bridge-jumping aberrants.
The blood pearl from Zhang San was particularly deep in color, very rich. Holding it felt heavy, and Lin Yebai used it to replenish his consumed internal energy.
The aberrants controlled by the factory director all had empty brains, no blood pearls.
They had already consumed too much – even if Lin Yebai didn’t kill them, they would die from self-exhaustion.
“Long-haired young man, I very much appreciate your blade technique. Since you killed Zhang San, how about filling his vacancy?”
“As long as you become workshop head, from now on you’ll be second only to one, above ten thousand……”
The factory director developed a talent-cherishing heart, hoping Lin Yebai would give up resistance early.
Lin Yebai wasn’t moved. Just from the factory director’s behavior, the next few sentences definitely wouldn’t be anything good.
“As long as you kneel down and call me father, from now on you’ll be my godson. This is a good thing Zhang San begged for but couldn’t get!” The factory director’s eyes couldn’t help but become loving.
[I Am a Little Green Dragon]: The factory director is done for. Even if he doesn’t die today, he’ll die eventually [Guthana the Dark God]: Shocked, this is the first time I’ve actively seen someone make baby become a son! This damn! My fists are clenched [Peace for a Lifetime]: Hope baby can safely get through today’s crisis, amen [Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Zhang San was the most miserable today, sigh Lin Yebai often felt there were few normal people in this world. Maybe Old Wang was the only one… forget it.“Young man, why aren’t you responding? Are you so excited you can’t speak???” The factory director smugly touched his triple-layered chin, thinking to himself that his aura was getting stronger and stronger. If this continued, who could withstand it?
[Blind Student]: Do you think the fat guy used Xiahou’s medicine? [The Ordinary Me]: Who is Xiahou? [Uchiha Boba Milk Tea]: Dr. Xia. The fat guy probably used it, isn’t he being presumptuous now? Really an unfilial son [Soft Cat Ears]: Baby, hurry up! In the name of the father, teach him the principles of being human! [Crispy Shark]: Why doesn’t the factory director have Dr. Xia’s symptoms? Did he take too little medicine? [Abyss Monarch]: Frowning, thinking darkly: “It’s time to increase the dosage!”“Quick, call me father.” The factory director was full of anticipation.
He had no children of his own and didn’t think he’d have a son in the future. This knife-wielding boy looked good and was as handsome as himself. Although he looked sickly, his combat endurance was strong – completely good son material!
Lin Yebai finally looked toward the fat factory director, his eyes rich with blood color. This should be a high-level aberrant, right?
Monster World (30)
“Quick, call me father!” The fat factory director spoke urgently, his eyes full of expectation.
He felt a secret joy in his heart. Seeing me with that kind of look in his eyes—was he thinking of accepting me as his father?
Lin Yebai raised his head slightly. The sound of wind, rushing river water, and aberrant roars overlapped, and he became unprecedentedly calm. In the past, always concerned about internal energy consumption and his body’s endurance, he had never been able to fight to his heart’s content. Today, too many aberrants had died, and he had invisibly gained nourishment from their blood energy.
Those killing moves he couldn’t use before might now be worth attempting.
His emotions showed no fluctuation as he coldly gazed at the factory director’s position and delivered a horizontal slash.
A blood-colored blade light traced a crescent moon trajectory through the air, magnificent and graceful, as if it would cleave the factory director in half vertically.
Even though the two were separated by more than ten meters, the factory director felt that sharp edge. He frantically flapped his wings, his round body somewhat awkwardly managing to dodge that strike.
However, the blade intent didn’t dissipate and fell directly onto the bridge.
The bridge, which had already endured too much, developed a clean break with smooth edges. The remaining half quickly fractured with thunderous roars, crashing down with enormous splashes.
All the aberrants on the bridge didn’t need to go through the jumping procedure—they fell directly into the river.
The mutated fish school below was nearly mad with joy, opening their mouths wide, waiting to be fed. Some got a bite of meat, some got chunks of brick, some got their mouths stuffed with car parts—everyone had gains.
“Pinch me,” Zhou Yuan said dazedly, feeling a strong sense of unreality.
“I feel like the dimensional wall has been broken…”
Why couldn’t he slash out such blade energy with his cleaver?
So cool! So awesome! So thrilling!
Xiahou Yun and Coach Wang immediately seized this opportunity to pinch Zhou Yuan hard.
“Hiss—”
Zhou Yuan sucked in a cold breath, his face turning pale:
“Damn, you guys pinched too hard.”
Is this what good brothers are like? Understood, understood.
After slashing out that strike, Lin Yebai’s internal energy was directly reduced by half. The blood bead from Zhang San shrank considerably as a result, with the depleted portion turning into tiny blood-colored dust that scattered across the sky.
With the bridge collapsed, Lin Yebai was like a graceful feather, light and natural, floating several times in the air before landing directly on the road.
Having been hunted for years, his lightness skill was as outstanding as his blade technique.
The factory director had been in the air all along, holding the advantage. Lightness skills often needed leverage points, so fighting in the air wasn’t advantageous.
The urgent task was to find a way to lure the factory director down.
Thinking of this, Lin Yebai’s face grew even paler.
“Brother Lin, are you okay?”
“Sir, are you alright?”
Zhou Yuan and Xiahou Yun spoke in unison, then looked at each other warily after speaking.
Want to steal his favor?
Heh, men are truly scheming.
“You’re also surnamed Lin? Like the “double wood” Lin? I’m also surnamed Lin…” The factory director became excited, increasingly convinced this was the son heaven had bestowed upon him. This was simply too precious.
“Son, I really admire you. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”
“Those who died before were all cannon fodder—I don’t feel bad about losing any number of them. If you obediently listen, you’ll be the crown prince of the world’s number one leather factory in the future. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” He flapped his wings, moving closer to Lin Yebai.
The factory director’s wings weren’t bird-like feathers but rather bat-like wings, utterly lacking in beauty. They could support his terrifying weight, with clearly visible muscle contours on the wing membranes.
[Crispy Shark]: Why does the factory director have such useful talent yet still guard a leather factory? [I Am a Little Green Dragon]: If this were me, I’d have established an aberrant empire long ago [The Ordinary Me]: Looking at his not-too-bright face, can’t you guess? [Fat Tiger]: Really pitiful, being able to grow so big without a brain must be very difficult, right? [Super Rich Tangerine Seat]: Have to say, the factory director has one advantage—good eye for talent Lin Yebai fell silent again, unable to suppress a light cough, seemingly deep in thought.The factory director might be fat and ugly, but everyone could see his troublesome nature. This guy was definitely not easy to deal with. If they could resolve this peacefully, that would be ideal.
But would Lin Yebai acknowledge a thief as his father?
No matter how one thought about it, it was impossible, so there was no point in saying soft words. They could only hope Lin Yebai would defeat the factory director.
“Defeat me,” Lin Yebai glanced at the factory director, completely serious.
“Fine, if I win, you’ll be my son.” The factory director smiled happily, patting his fat belly and asking with a laugh:
“What’s your name?”
“Lin Yebai.”
“What kind of lousy name is that? Not nice at all… Your father here is called Lin Fugui—that’s the kind of name rich people should have. With your weak and frail build, why don’t we call you Lin Dazhuang instead!” (TL: Lin “Big Healthy”)
[Guthana the Dark God]: Pfft [One Needle From Me]: Sorry… hahahahahaha [Little Pudding]: Hehehehehe [Literary Mentor]: Dazhuang carries beautiful hopes… forget it hahahahahaha [Soft Cat Ears]: Poor baby being persecuted, hugs and sobs hahahahahaha Lin Yebai’s face visibly darkened.This was the first time others had seen him so angry—they all stared, thinking they might never see this again.
“Zhuangzhuang…” Factory Director Lin Fugui was completely oblivious that crisis had arrived, still smiling with a benevolent expression.
“As your father, I won’t bully you. There happens to be a group of mid-level aberrants—practice with them.”
Lin Fugui could play around and joke, but he didn’t treat his dog’s life as a joke. That big brain on his neck was still quite useful, and he didn’t want to fall here.
Lin Yebai’s blade technique was indeed not to be underestimated.
First, he’d force him to the brink to see his limits.
As for Zhou Yuan, Xiahou Yun and the others, Lin Fugui casually called some aberrants to surround them.
If he killed them and made deadly enemies, it would be completely counterproductive.
Lin Yebai faced several mid-level aberrants alone and was temporarily suppressed.
Lin Fugui watched with great satisfaction. Good, his strength was still within control. Ultimate moves couldn’t be used casually—he wasn’t worried about his son committing patricide.
The mid-level aberrants surrounding Lin Yebai totaled seven, each mutated differently.
There was a middle-aged strong man who had grown six arms, each holding a different weapon—nunchucks, fruit knife, frying pan—all present. He had large iron pots on his chest and back, both offensive and defensive.
There was a sheep-headed person, unfortunately a sheep, whose body was covered with a layer of soft, curly wool, who had to “baa” every so often.
There was an auntie with four legs, expression fierce, with pitch-black sharp fingernails as weapons, the nail beds full of blackened flesh.
There were also human-bodied scorpion-tailed aberrants, mutated Tibetan mastiff aberrants, human-headed cockroach-bodied aberrants, and rat-man aberrants similar to the Rat King—none held back, all striking at Lin Yebai’s vital points.
Lin Yebai’s face grew increasingly pale, his brow slightly furrowed. Under the siege of seven mid-level aberrants, he gradually fell into disadvantage, making observers feel deeply anxious.
[White Umbrella] tipped Star Coins x1000 [White Umbrella]: Baby, go for it [Abyss Monarch]: Eyes deep and mysterious, as if containing myriad stars, lips slightly curved: “Don’t worry about him—he hasn’t suffered any real losses yet.”There were still many low-level aberrants around, controlled by Lin Fugui, cooperating to hinder Lin Yebai’s movements.
Lin Yebai wasn’t polite either—any low-level aberrants that came, he accepted them all, beheading every one.
Soon corpses piled up on the ground, occasionally rolling out one or two blood beads.
The first mid-level aberrant to die under Lin Yebai’s blade was the rat-man.
A familiar death—decapitation.
“I suddenly realized Brother Lin is quite vengeful…” Zhou Yuan and the others had been watching the battle while thinking of escape methods.
“Has rats offended sir before?” Xiahou Yun was curious.
“Same as Zhang San,” Zhou Yuan remembered the singing and dancing rat-man again, his mouth twitching.
“Understood.” Xiahou Yun pressed his lips together, trying hard to maintain a serious, grave expression.
The blood bead from Zhang San in Lin Yebai’s hand completely shattered. His face instantly became much paler, his form unsteady, and he seemed about to collapse—
“Ah!!!” Zhou Yuan’s heart clenched into a knot.
The scorpion-tailed aberrant seized the opportunity, swinging its tail. The poisonous stinger was about to pierce Lin Yebai.
A flash of blade light, and the entire tail flew out, piercing the cockroach aberrant’s belly.
“Ah—” The scorpion-tailed aberrant let out a miserable scream, blood flowing like a fountain from the severed area.
Lin Fugui’s expression suddenly turned cold. What trash—this subordinate was too useless and had become worthless.
The second head Lin Yebai severed was the scorpion-tailed aberrant’s. For this, he was severely struck by the six-armed strong man’s club.
He stood supported by his blade, coughing continuously, covering his lips with his hand. His fingertips showed traces of blood, the light in his eyes dimming, his weakness alarming.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes were about to split with rage, almost rushing out, but was held back by Xiahou Yun.
Lin Yebai hadn’t reached his limit yet—he must be planning something.
“He definitely can’t go on!” The cockroach aberrant shrieked as it charged toward Lin Yebai, wanting revenge.
A flash of blade light, and its head was gone.
This strike seemed to use all his strength. Lin Yebai sat on the pile of corpses, coldly watching the other aberrants. Even in this moment, sitting there, he still had a sense of cold, solitary pride.
The four-legged auntie aberrant watched warily, somewhat defensive, not daring to approach.
The six-armed strong man began to regret—he was afraid the future crown prince would rise to power. It looked like he’d hit hard, but actually he’d controlled his strength, just tapping lightly. He hoped he hadn’t caused any real harm.
The sheep-headed aberrant, being stared at by Lin Yebai, had all its wool standing on end. Mustering courage, it “baa-ed” at Lin Yebai.
Lin Yebai trembled continuously, coughing weakly. This series of battles had triggered his condition, the corners of his eyes taking on a crimson hue. He was clearly severely ill, appearing to have no ability to resist.
“Sigh… Dazhuang, your constitution is still too poor.” Lin Fugui sighed.
The mutated Tibetan mastiff aberrant circled behind Lin Yebai and opened its bloody maw.
Thick, putrid stench enveloped him. Lin Yebai backhanded a strike, instantly severing the dog’s head. Half his face was drenched in blood, the mark on his forehead burning hot, the red in his eyes growing heavier.
The next instant, he slashed out a gorgeous blade light, shooting straight toward Lin Fugui, who was watching the battle in the air.
The second strike was truly too fast.
No one saw his blade trajectory clearly. When they realized what happened, the blood-colored blade light had already reached Lin Fugui, carrying deadly killing intent and unstoppable sharp blade will.
Even though Lin Fugui dodged in time, he was still struck on one wing.
Nearly two-thirds of his right wing was severed, barely hanging by a connection. Pitch-black blood dripped down, burning away completely in the air. Soon mist swirled around the wound.
“Kill! Kill them all!”
“Don’t let a single one escape!”
Killing intent surged in Lin Fugui’s eyes—he no longer had any thought of taking a son.
The pressure on Zhou Yuan’s side increased. Even with Xiahou Yun’s tremendous strength, protecting all of them was impossible. They were soon scattered under the aberrants’ attacks.
Lin Fugui most wanted to kill Lin Yebai. He could no longer fly freely and was forced to land, not daring to get too close to Lin Yebai. He commanded all aberrants to kill Lin Yebai at any cost.
Lin Yebai ignored the other aberrants’ attacks and pursued Lin Fugui.
As long as he killed Lin Fugui, the other aberrants would lose control, and they could escape successfully.
“Mommy—”
The little spider’s anxious call came. Lin Yebai glanced quickly and saw Coach Wang being surrounded by aberrants, falling from the broken bridge edge. He threw the cat bag containing the little spiders far away, leaving it on the road. At some point, mist had risen from the river surface, gray and hazy, obscuring everything.
