Blue Star.
Qin Feng's livestream room was once again bustling with activity.
Nearly twenty thousand adventurers.
From day one, Qin Feng's popularity far surpassed that of other adventurers.
The difference was.
At first, everyone cursed him.
Now, they all called him "brother."
— 'Brother Feng hit the nail on the head! This is psychological manipulation!'
— 'Disgusting! It's the apocalypse, and he's still using his damn college student status to make Liu Pi feel inferior to her?'
— 'Maybe college students taste better to zombies.'
— 'People like Liu Pi, who are psychologically controlled, don't easily see the truth.'
— 'Right! Persuading him is difficult.'
...
Apocalypse Star.
Hearing Qian Hui's words, Liu Pi was stunned.
"Huihui, you... what do you mean?" he asked his girlfriend blankly.
"Liu Pi!"
Qian Hui was furious. "Do you want me to die?!"
Liu Pi couldn't help but be taken aback.
That's right!
The other party wanted to kill those who made a move. If his girlfriend didn't distance herself, she might also be killed!
"I don't know her!"
Liu Pi shielded his girlfriend. "It's all on me!"
"Damn it!"
Zhou Haiyang was completely flabbergasted.
How deeply poisoned was this guy's mind?
Qian Hui had clearly indicated they were parting ways in the face of disaster, yet he was still stepping up as a shield.
"Captain!"
Wang Shouli frowned. "This kid's brain is fried! Don't waste your breath on him, just knock him out and take him!"
There.
He had said something similar to Qin Feng when he refused to go with him back then.
Now, it was his turn to say it.
The team members could all see that Qin Feng wanted to recruit Liu Pi.
Qin Feng felt a headache coming on.
For someone like Liu Pi, who was psychologically manipulated, normal persuasion methods were useless.
If you spoke ill of his girlfriend, he wouldn't believe you; instead, he would treat you as an enemy.
"Roar!"
Suddenly!
A roar came from the distance.
It was loud.
Anyone could tell it wasn't a normal zombie.
Qin Feng's heart tightened.
Could it be a mutated zombie horde?
Footsteps!
Qin Feng quickly realized there was only one set of footsteps, not a group.
It was clearly a newly mutated Level 4 zombie that hadn't had time to form a zombie legion.
His mind stirred.
He whispered a few words to Zhou Haiyang.
Zhou Haiyang was first stunned, then a strange smile appeared on his face as he quickly ran outside the factory.
"Grandpa is here!" he shouted to the outside.
"Roar!"
The newly mutated Level 4 zombie immediately charged towards them.
It was as if the ground was shaking.
Level 4 mutants had intelligence.
In just a moment.
The mutant charged into the factory and saw a group of over a hundred zombies gathered in one area.
"Roar!"
It began to issue commands.
As a result, those zombies remained motionless.
It became enraged.
I am a Level 4 mutant!
I am the king!
These small fry dare to ignore me?
It furiously charged towards the zombie horde, landing a few heavy slaps.
The result...
The zombies fell down one after another, still not moving.
What was going on?
"Grandpa is here!" Zhou Haiyang, who had retreated into the factory, shouted again.
"Roar!"
The mutant ignored it, leaving the Level 2 zombies, and charged straight inside.
"Retreat."
Qin Feng immediately led his team away.
He created distance from Liu Pi.
The Divine Punishment team was positioned on the outer side, and the mutant first spotted them, lunging at the four of them and the bird with bared teeth.
"Don't bother me!"
Qin Feng pointed towards Liu Pi's side. "There's food over there!"
He wanted to use the mutant to make Liu Pi completely sober up.
Damn it!
Liu Pi's expression changed drastically.
This was the first time he had seen such a large zombie!
Its height.
Its physique.
It far surpassed any he had seen before!
Its massive body, nearly 2.3 meters tall, didn't appear clumsy at all.
Its speed was astonishing.
However, the mutant didn't listen to Qin Feng and continued to pounce on the four of them and the bird.
It would naturally go for the closest target first, why would it ignore the near for the far?
Spatial Shield!
Spatial Blade!
Qin Feng was already at the peak of Level 3. Dealing with a mere Level 4 mutant was as easy as playing.
Shield in front.
To block.
Blade behind.
To slash!
The spatial blade flashed and disappeared.
The mutant's left arm was instantly severed.
It wasn't that Qin Feng's aim was poor, but he intentionally didn't kill it.
"Aow..."
The mutant screamed in pain.
High intelligence meant it could assess the situation.
It realized that this "food" in front of it was much stronger than itself.
It couldn't afford to provoke it!
"I told you there's food over there."
Qin Feng pointed towards Liu Pi's side. "If you bother me again, I'll chop your head off!"
Not good!
Liu Pi was greatly alarmed.
He immediately activated his ability.
From tens of meters away, among the over a hundred zombies, four suddenly woke up.
The mutant, not daring to provoke Qin Feng, looked in the direction he pointed...
And lunged at Liu Pi!
At the same time, the four awakened Level 2 zombies charged towards the mutant like a pack of wild dogs.
Some grabbed its legs.
Some hugged its waist.
In any case, they bit down as soon as they caught it.
The mutant was furious.
It grabbed one of the zombies gnawing on its neck.
One hand gripping its foot.
The other hand gripping its body.
Tear!
With a sickening crack, the Level 2 zombie was directly torn in half, becoming two pieces.
The gap was too great.
Let alone four Level 2 zombies, even a hundred wouldn't make a difference.
They couldn't break through its defenses!
One.
Another one.
The Level 2 zombies controlled by Liu Pi were being slaughtered by the mutant!
Every time one died, Liu Pi would awaken a new one and continue to surround the mutant.
His limit for controlling zombies simultaneously was four.
But...
They couldn't break through its defenses!
What was the point of having over a hundred zombies?
There would come a time when they would all be killed.
"Huihui! Run, I'll hold it off!" Liu Pi roared.
"Oh..."
Qian Hui and Xu Jinzhou were ashen-faced with fear.
"Did I tell you to leave?"
Qin Feng flashed and blocked the exit.
Thud!
Xu Jinzhou immediately knelt down, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Sir, I... I don't know them!"
"It was Qian Hui who told Liu Pi to kill you. I didn't say a word the entire time!"
"Bullshit!"
Zhou Haiyang stepped forward and kicked him. "If you don't know them, why were you with them? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
"It's true..."
Xu Jinzhou ignored the pain and cried out, "Qian Hui! You bitch, do you want to watch me die?!"
Thud!
Qian Hui actually knelt down stiffly.
"Please... spare Teacher!"
"He's just my teacher, he really has nothing to do with us!"
"I'm Liu Pi's girlfriend!"
What was going on?
Before the advent of death, she was helping Xu Jinzhou escape, unconcerned about her own life?
Liu Pi was utterly bewildered.
When Qin Feng was about to kill him, Qian Hui immediately distanced herself.
When Xu Jinzhou faced death, she desperately tried to protect him.
In her heart...
Who was more important?
"I want to hear the truth."
Clang!
Qin Feng drew his strange saber and said word by word, "Otherwise, all of you die!"
"Don't take me for a fool!"
The strange saber.
Pressed against Xu Jinzhou's neck, Qin Feng stared coldly at Qian Hui.
"No... don't kill him! Don't..."
Qian Hui cried, her emotions completely breaking down. "I love Teacher, I only love Teacher in this life, please..."
"I'm just a weak woman. If Teacher is gone..."
"If he dies, I won't live either!"
"Bitch!"
Xu Jinzhou was terrified. "Don't say random things... Liu Pi is your boyfriend!"
He didn't want to be involved with Qian Hui.
Otherwise, he might be killed!
"Teacher, I never loved him. My heart only has you. I can die for you!" Qian Hui cried.
"You..."
"I know you dislike me dating Liu Pi."
Qian Hui sobbed, tears filling her face. "But my family is poor! When I got into college, my family couldn't afford the tuition, so I could only be with him."
"Only he was foolish enough to work to support me through university. I had no choice!"
"I swear! I never let him touch me, I gave everything to you!"
"At most, he only held my hand!"
"You know, my first time was with you..."
Qin Feng: ...
Zhou Haiyang, Han Ling, Wang Shouli: ...
Their worldviews were shattered.
It wasn't just Qian Hui manipulating Liu Pi?
She, in turn, was being manipulated by Xu Jinzhou!
"Caw caw!"
Birdy chirped happily, waiting for the follow-up to the manipulation drama, continuing to spectate.
