Chang Jianyi faced the approaching crowd and sneered, "Yin Li, Zhang Xiaoqiang, make your move now!"
Following her words, two nearby girls quickly charged forward, surprisingly wielding steel rebar used by the combat team. They then began to attack the rebels present. Caught off guard, this group, who never expected girls to fight, suffered significant blows. The two girls darted through the crowd like foxes, their movements incredibly swift. The steel rebar in their hands, upon striking a person, would immediately cause a fracture.
"These are Evolvers!" Wu Kai exclaimed, stunned as he witnessed the two girls fighting amidst the crowd. Their speed was simply faster than professional athletes, flashing past people and leaving a trail of injured individuals behind. This level of speed and strength was only achievable by Evolvers.
"Ignore them! If we capture Chang Jianyi, we win!" Dean Hu shouted.
Wang Xiang also regained his senses. These two girls were indeed difficult to deal with, their speed like phantoms. However, as long as Chang Jianyi, their leader, was captured, victory would be theirs.
Thus, over a dozen people surged forward, intending to seize Chang Jianyi. But from Chang Jianyi's sleeves, two daggers slid out. Instead of retreating, she charged forward, meeting the enemy head-on!
"Shuashua..." With two swift and clean strikes, Chang Jianyi slit the throats of two workers. Before they could utter a word, blood gushed from their throats, and they collapsed to the ground, dead. Chang Jianyi continued her relentless assault, and one worker after another fell. Seeing the tide turn, Wang Xiang immediately retreated.
However, Chang Jianyi had already set her sights on him, and there was no way she would let him escape. She quickly pursued him and struck his back with a dagger. Wang Xiang immediately fell to the ground, then turned and began to plead, "Don't kill me, don't kill me! Dean Hu made me do it; he's the mastermind!"
Seeing the vice-leader's ferocity, Tao Xian quickly shouted, "Vice-Leader, don't listen to his excuses! This guy said yesterday that he wanted to steal food and women, and that he'd give each of his workers a wife. He's a scumbag!"
A cold glint flashed in Chang Jianyi's eyes as she plunged a dagger into Wang Xiang's chest. Wang Xiang clutched his chest, struggling, his feet kicking erratically on the ground before he finally gasped his last breath. His eyes remained open, unwilling to close. He couldn't understand why the battle had turned so drastically. They were supposed to be helpless girls, so why did they possess such immense power? Why could they kill so many people in an instant?
Witnessing this, Wu Kai finally remembered. Since the leader could give him evolution serum, he could also give it to those around him. He had thought he was the only Evolver present, but in reality, Evolvers had been hidden all along!
"No, if Shen Feng finds out about today, I'm dead. I can't beat him, and I can't catch up to him. I have to run!" Wu Kai made his decision immediately. He then said to his accomplices, "Everyone scatter and run! Save yourselves if you can. You can't beat them; they're Evolvers!"
With that, Wu Kai prepared to flee. But at that moment, he saw Yu Ren Shu standing in the crowd. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he thought, "It's all her fault. She made the evolution serum. If I can get my hands on her, I can have more Evolvers!"
Thus, Wu Kai decided to risk it all. He charged towards Yu Ren Shu, intending to capture her as a hostage. With a hostage in hand, his safety would be guaranteed!
Wu Kai swiftly reached Yu Ren Shu's side, causing those around her to retreat in fear. He then grabbed her shoulder, pointed the steel rebar at her neck, and declared, "Everyone, stop! Chang Jianyi, let us go now, or I'll kill her!"
Chang Jianyi glanced in his direction, then continued her command, "Attack!"
Wu Kai sensed something was wrong. Why would Chang Jianyi say to attack? Did that mean there were more Evolvers hidden? Where? Where were they!
Wu Kai frantically scanned his surroundings, only to find that everyone else had retreated far away, leaving no one nearby. So, where were the Evolvers hidden?
At this moment, the people who had fled returned, because fifty boys wielding steel rebar had suddenly appeared and blocked their path. Yang Chang shouted, "Break the legs of these people! They are all traitors; let none of them escape!"
Seeing this, Wu Kai felt a bit relieved. So, it was just the combat team members who were hiding. These were ordinary people, nothing to worry about. Thus, the advantage was still theirs! Moreover, Yu Ren Shu was in his grasp. He could already envision cultivating a group of Evolvers as his subordinates, and then he would have everything he desired: money, power, women! All of it would be his.
"Don't come any closer! I'm telling you again, if you don't stop, I'll kill this woman!" Wu Kai arrogantly said to Chang Jianyi, who was killing people in the distance.
Chang Jianyi glanced in Wu Kai's direction and casually replied, "Stop pretending, it's boring!"
"Pretending what? You're not pretending anything!" Wu Kai was confused by Chang Jianyi's words, not understanding their meaning.
But then Wu Kai understood. Chang Jianyi's words weren't actually directed at him. At that moment, Yu Ren Shu, whom he had captured, suddenly grabbed his arm from behind and executed a shoulder throw. Wu Kai was flipped onto the ground. Before he could even get up, his thigh was slashed, and blood poured out.
"What chef doesn't steal a bite, right? Why wouldn't I drink evolution serum?" Yu Ren Shu said with a smile, then tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, exuding charm.
With his thigh injured, Wu Kai couldn't run. He sat on the ground, waving the steel rebar in his hand, threatening everyone not to come closer. However, during this time, the rebels were being dealt with one by one by three Evolvers. Some were killed on the spot, while others had their legs broken and lay on the ground.
Dean Hu and Li Tianxiao, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, tried to escape. But Yang Chang had already been watching them. He stepped forward and struck each of them with a club, leaving both of them groaning on the ground.
At this moment, Chang Jianyi approached Wu Kai step by step. She was already covered in blood. Previously, she had been afraid to even kill zombies. Now, as an Evolver, in her first engagement, she had killed over a dozen people. She suddenly realized that she felt no discomfort. Perhaps, in her eyes, these rebels no longer counted as truly human.
Seeing Chang Jianyi approaching, Wu Kai quickly pleaded, "Vice-Leader, Vice-Leader! I was wrong. I shouldn't have had so many selfish thoughts. I just took a wrong turn. Don't kill me. I can fight for you. As soon as my injuries heal, I can go kill zombies!"
"Heh, too late!" Chang Jianyi hurled her dagger from a distance. Wu Kai quickly defended himself, deflecting the projectile. But he forgot that Chang Jianyi had two weapons. He could dodge the first dagger throw, but the second dagger pierced his heart. Blood surged from his mouth, and moments later, he died.
"Vice-Leader, how should we deal with these people?" Yang Chang also walked up. All the rebels present had been dealt with. Half of them were dead, and the other half had their legs broken.
Chang Jianyi regained her composure and said, "Take the dead and throw them into the lake. Then, tie up the injured. These people will be useful in a couple of days! As for your reward, here you go!"
As she spoke, Chang Jianyi took out a test tube from her person. Inside was a pinkish liquid, which looked incredibly alluring. Yang Chang carefully took the test tube, preparing to drink it immediately, but Chang Jianyi stopped him.
"After drinking it, you won't be able to move for about six hours. You should save it for tonight!" Chang Jianyi said.
Yang Chang looked at the test tube in his hand, his heart filled with excitement. The serum in his hand, once consumed, would turn him into an Evolver. Today, Yang Chang had witnessed the terrifying power of Evolvers. To ordinary people, they were like death gods; ordinary people had no power to resist them. He carefully placed the serum on his person, planning to drink it that night and become one of the Evolvers.
The members of the combat team witnessed this and couldn't help but feel a sense of envy towards Yang Chang.
Later, the deceased were thrown into the lake to feed the fish. The injured, no matter how much they begged, had to face reality and were eventually tied up and taken aside.
"Continue packing. We'll depart for the hotel later!" Chang Jianyi said slowly. The girls immediately resumed packing, feeling fortunate to have escaped. After all, if the rebels had succeeded, they might have faced utter destruction. Now, the girls had also realized that girls could indeed fight, and as long as they became Evolvers, their combat abilities would be far superior to ordinary people.
Then, Chang Jianyi looked into the distance, towards the direction of the villagers. The villagers quickly lowered their heads, not daring to meet Chang Jianyi's gaze. In their eyes, Chang Jianyi had suppressed the rebellion with extremely bloody methods. Now, she was covered in blood, appearing terrifying.
Chang Jianyi was satisfied with their reaction. This proved that today's operation had been a success.
Thanks to an inside informant, Shen Feng and Chang Jianyi had learned of the rebels' actions in advance and prepared accordingly. By eliminating the rebels on the spot today, it served as a significant deterrent to the remaining individuals. After all, Shen Feng and Chang Jianyi would be carrying out their next phase of plans in the coming days, and any factors hindering management had to be dealt with promptly.
Before today, Shen Feng had been concerned whether Li Tianxiao and others would dare to act. Therefore, he had specifically taken the vocational school students with him, laying some groundwork for their rebellion. To describe today's operation, one could use the idiom "luring the snake out of its hole," deliberately provoking unstable elements and then eliminating them!
Concurrently, Shen Feng led his people to a hotel five kilometers away, which would be the main battlefield for their next objective!
"Clear the hotel of zombies immediately to prepare for the arrival of the others!" Shen Feng said directly after getting out of the car. He noticed that there seemed to be insufficient zombies in the vicinity, but that was not a major issue. There were seven hundred people here now, and as long as they didn't encounter ten times their number in zombies, they would have the ability to protect themselves.
Ren Jing took the lead, charging into the hotel with his team. He was working diligently now. As the leader of the combat team and now an Evolver, ordinary zombies could not harm him. The combat team members followed suit.
There were not many people in the hotel to begin with, and the zombies inside were quickly dealt with. The group began to break down doors, clearing out the zombies in the rooms. Of course, if there were any survivors inside, they would be rescued.
Hundreds of meters away, in a club, someone was watching the hotel with binoculars. It was a young man, a cigarette dangling from his lips. As he watched, he muttered, "What's going on with those young people over there? Over a hundred cars, and seven hundred people got out. They can't even fit outside the hotel. What are these people here to do?"
At this moment, a man in a suit and tie approached. He looked to be in his forties, his face exuding authority. A young and beautiful woman was linked to his arm. The man in the suit spoke, "What's the situation? Is there any rescue?"
The man who was watching quickly turned around and said, "Boss, no one has come for rescue yet, but there are over seven hundred people over there, and they seem to be taking over the hotel!"
"Give me the binoculars. I want to get a closer look!" the boss said, then took the binoculars and observed the hotel in the distance.
