At six o'clock, this was the maximum round-trip time that Yang Xiaoyou had received from Kane An. If they still hadn't found anyone on the Snowfield by then, their plan would be to regroup within that time frame and take an alternative approach.
In such a blizzard, it was normal for long-distance communication to be hindered. After wasting three hours, he had less than half the time left to recover his strength.
He was no longer prepared to passively wait for the other party to come to him. Taking advantage of the fact that others were not yet on high alert, a sudden ambush was now his best option.
He had also kept his true strength hidden, which could serve as his greatest asset.
After one person had consumed four whole reindeer, nearly everyone nearby went from astonishment and shock to eventual numbness.
Many eyes were drawn to the barely distended belly, unable to comprehend where all that meat had gone.
At this rate of eating, even if there were still four more, the other party could probably finish them off as well.
During this time, Qian Kai had several impulses to urge Yang Xiaoyou to leave first. However, just as he was about to speak, an inexplicable pressure held him back. The source of that force turned out to be a stunningly beautiful woman, a true femme fatale.
Even those hunters who wanted to leave midway were 'persuaded' to stay.
Of course, Qian Kai supported the persuasion of those hunters; it was necessary not to let the situation here be exposed. Temporarily keeping these people around was essential.
"Hehe, feeling better?" As Yang Xiaoyou paused his actions and cleaned the blood off his hands with the snow beside him, Liang Wuxuan finally spoke after a long silence.
She walked gracefully in front of Yang Xiaoyou and without any hesitation used her delicate fingers to trace the blood at the corner of his mouth, exuding an alluring charm.
At this moment, even Li Zheng's two lackeys finally understood why the President would participate in this event. The ultimate reason seemed to be that terrifying classmate who resembled a devil and appeared unrelated to Li Zheng at all.
They had no idea what had happened from the beginning until now. All they knew was that a hunter had been shot dead, and then the atmosphere turned terrifying.
"Thank you." Looking at the Demoness in front of him, Yang Xiaoyou moved his lips and softly spoke. Although the Demoness was often unpredictable and loved to play around, she had handled the situation exceptionally well during that initial period, completely eliminating any possibility of him being distracted.
"Thanking me is simple; just take me along later," Liang Wuxuan finally revealed her sly side with a mischievous tone.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoyou was momentarily stunned, then raised her head to meet Liang Wuxuan's bright gaze for a long while. Finally, she nodded and said, "I promise you."
"Why hasn't the team leader arrived yet? Tsk, could they have run into some trouble?" One of the deputies from the two converging teams frowned after glancing at the time.
"Haha! Come on, you know the team leader's strength, right? Whether it's that incredible Sniper skill or that terrifying close-combat ability, no ordinary Momentum Level expert can match it. The reason they haven't arrived yet could be due to the atmosphere and environment; even with a general direction, finding someone in the Snowfield takes considerable time." Another middle-aged man with a Blade-Browed appearance chuckled heartily, seemingly unfazed.
"That's true. But to protect him, they even dispatched a strong fighter of that caliber. Ha! Even in such a severely injured state, he dragged two teammates down with him. I will make him understand what it means to suffer worse than death! He must compensate us for all our losses!" After hearing his companion's words, the man regained his composure and turned his sinister gaze toward the man lying on the ground, bound by chains as thick as a thumb.
It was Hades!
At this moment, Hades was not only covered in blood but also appeared to be undergoing some grotesque transformation beneath his skin, as if he were swelling like a rodent. He seemed somewhat delirious, occasionally emitting hoarse growls from his throat like a beast.
"Hey, his physical condition is indeed capable of fully enduring this drug. Recently, after a series of defections, we developed this type of drug. Why should we rely on their thinking abilities? Isn't humanity sufficient? All we need are obedient dogs," remarked another middle-aged man with a knife-like face, revealing a cruel smile.
"I heard that the experimental products sold to those Italians ran into problems in the Chinese Empire. Although the transformation succeeded, they still couldn't be controlled, and their defensive capabilities are much lower than standard products. However, they are significantly cheaper," he continued.
Before he could finish speaking, a series of urgent shouts came through his shoulder-mounted earpiece but quickly fell silent again. This sudden noise caused both men present to change their expressions dramatically.
They began confirming details over their walkie-talkies.
In just that brief moment, only four of the remaining combat-capable members responded.
Two had already lost contact; that brief urgent shout was already the second warning from a team member!
As Momentum Level experts, they nearly missed their chance to warn others—what on earth had they encountered?!
"Everyone gather at Zone B immediately and bring the hostages over! Now! Right away!" After shouting into the walkie-talkie, the two exchanged glances and hesitated for a moment while looking at the experiment subject bound by chains. Finally, they injected another dose of Crimson drug into him.
If nothing serious was wrong and he could still come around, they could proceed with the next step of implanting commands. But if something unexpected happened? Then everyone here would pay with their lives!
"Such a pity, I only managed to take down two. After all, they are strong at the Momentum Level, each one of them is invisible, truly something I can't learn," Yang Xiaoyou sighed as she dropped the body with its neck twisted into an irregular shape onto the ground.
"Oh dear. I had no idea he would have such high resistance to my commands. He actually broke through midway," Liang Wuxuan emerged from behind Yang Xiaoyou, speaking in a tone of regret, though there was no trace of remorse on her face that could be interpreted as schadenfreude.
It was surprising that she had followed along, and it was clear that although she couldn't directly participate in the battle, the Demoness's support abilities were exceptional.
Strong at the Momentum Level. Although they had resistance against her abilities, a single oversight in a duel among experts could lead to fatal consequences. Moreover, Yang Xiaoyou had recovered to her current state and could unleash terrifying attack power. It wouldn't be difficult to catch a Momentum Level expert off guard and eliminate them in an instant.
Unfortunately, during the second encounter, although their flesh strength was similar, the opponent possessed a mental will that far exceeded the first person’s. This caused a slight flaw in the Demoness's support; even though she quickly defeated her opponent, it still triggered a warning.
At this moment, Yang Xiaoyou could better appreciate the terrifying ability of her inner persona to effortlessly eliminate four Momentum Level experts simultaneously!
Here, just a slightly stronger opponent had issued a warning. Back then in the Snowfield, there was also Kane An, a formidable character whose overall capabilities were only slightly inferior to her current normal state!
"If there were still seven left, it might be a bit challenging but doable. I originally planned to take down two more before forcing them to gather," Yang Xiaoyou clenched her palm, feeling her recovery from that massive consumption. She couldn't help but sigh lightly. It seemed she was still pushing herself too hard; it appeared that she would need the Demoness's assistance.
Inside an abandoned farm,
"No! I really didn't deceive you! Honestly, there's just one son of a master inside. Although he's skilled, he definitely isn't your match. Please let me go," Li Zheng pleaded tearfully with the fierce terrorists surrounding him, spilling all his secrets.
"He really didn't lie to you. Hmm, six? It seems my useless subordinate dragged another one into this mess. I'm truly sorry for the trouble caused," just as the group of twenty-six prepared to impose further measures on Li Zheng, a light voice floated in from outside the farm.
Then two figures stepped into the farm one after another.
Upon seeing the newcomers' faces, several people were initially startled before joy flashed across their expressions; they had found what they sought without much effort.
Even Li Zheng wore an ecstatic expression at that moment but soon turned serious and shouted loudly, "Look at what you've done! What trouble have you brought upon us! Each person should bear their own responsibility! Hurry up and come over! Do you want me to keep carrying this burden for you?!"
After shouting, he raised his head with a fawning expression towards the others who were preparing something nearby. However, before he could say anything further, a gunshot rang out and pierced through his skull. Red and white brain matter splattered everywhere as he fell lifelessly to the ground, seemingly unaware of why his assailants had chosen to kill him.
Since it has already lost its utility, keeping it is pointless.
The Tour Guide, witnessing Li Zheng's tragic state, displayed a look of horror and despair on his face.
"Alright, I've come over. Why the rush? Where's my useless subordinate?" Yang Xiaoyou stood before Liang Wuxuan, showing no signs of emotion upon seeing Li Zheng's corpse.
"Subordinate? That fellow was your subordinate? What happened to our people? Who did this?" The remaining Blade-Browed man retorted with a question. In his view, the other party had used some cunning scheme to ambush the two subordinates who had lost contact.
However, with twenty-six of them still intact, they found themselves unable to escape from the grasp of just a few individuals.
Although this operation had encountered some inexplicable setbacks and they couldn't reach their group leader for the time being, at least the outcome was successful. Therefore, he needed to clarify the other party's confidence and hidden cards.
"Of course they are dead. Both those in the town and the five who chased after us. As for the one who did it, that would be me. Allow me to reintroduce myself: I am Yang Xiaoyou, the current head of Hive Security Company, here to send you all to the underworld." With an innocent expression, Yang Xiaoyou's eyes sparkled with a smile that brought an extremely eerie atmosphere.
At the same time, standing behind him, Liang Wuxuan followed Yang Xiaoyou's instructions and threw seven colorful jade pendants into the air.
Channeling her innate regal presence, she murmured, "Shatter, Illusions of Flowers and Water."
That sounded so familiar; it must be an illusion.
