The positions of the hundred pills were suddenly changed.
At a moment when time stopped flowing, they disregarded spatial distance and forcibly appeared inside the bodies of many members of the Yinghuo clan.
"Pfft...!"
"thump!"
"Ahhhhh!!"
The poison of Dan Shi takes effect extremely quickly, destroying meridians and organs. Those who awaken suffer excruciating pain, howling like madmen, and within a few breaths, they all perish together in the Yellow Springs.
The worst off were the Level 3 Awakeners. Their physical bodies were incredibly strong, and the feeling of being disintegrated from the inside was even more agonizing and prolonged. It took them a full minute to die.
The entire room fell silent, the oppressive atmosphere reaching its peak.
The Level 4 Awakener, who stood stiffly not far away, had a livid face, his breathing was even a little erratic, and his hands and feet seemed to be too afraid to move, but they were trembling slightly.
More than sixty pills were scattered in mid-air around him, less than half a millimeter away from his skin.
Yu Jingyun vaguely saw a blurry, transparent substance surrounding him completely, making him afraid to move. His keen intuition repeatedly pierced his nerves, telling him that this was a threat of death.
"Behaved now, little guy?"
Zhou Sheng snorted and continued:
"You're so arrogant! You should be more humble. And you fat-headed bastard hiding there, do I need to ask you to come out?"
He was met with silence and the faint sound of snot snot snot.
Meeting the two old ghosts' murderous gazes, Yu Jingyun had a bad feeling and feared he would be killed. He hurriedly shouted:
"Come out!! Xiao Dun."
With his stern command, the container shook inexplicably, and a strange man who was severely obese, weighed about 500 or 600 pounds, and was 1.8 meters tall, walked out.
He seemed to have a very low IQ, his eyes were vacant, snot and saliva were running from his mouth and nose, his clothes were tattered, and he reeked of a strong stench. He was trembling with fear.
"You're the one who made him like this, and then took control of him?"
Zhou Sheng noticed something amiss and questioned Yu Jingyun.
"He's my brother, that's how it is. To prevent him from losing control, I had to..."
Yu Jingyun's voice grew softer and softer until he fell silent.
He was a middle-aged man in his thirties with regular features and a build that was neither too thin nor too strong. After being brought into the country by G1, he spent his savings of many years to buy two reagents, which he injected into himself and his younger brother respectively.
However, after the two brothers awakened together, the younger brother still failed to return to normal and remained as mentally challenged as ever, while his power increased day by day, becoming so powerful that it aroused his greed.
Yu Jingyun's ability is 'Blood Stealing', which specifically allows him to implant 'blood seeds' into the bodies of other awakened individuals, thereby intercepting their power and special abilities to enhance himself. The maximum number of seeds he can implant is 5.
Unfortunately, his starting point was outrageously low. Even after receiving the G1 reagent, he was still as weak as a chick, even weaker than most ordinary people. He could only implant the first 'blood seed' into his younger brother.
Immediately, he began to evolve rapidly, breaking through levels 2, 3, and 4 without any difficulty.
He even gained the ability to control minds, which gave rise to a more greedy idea. He convinced himself to target his younger brother, Yu Jingheng, to strengthen his control and make it impossible for the already disabled Yu Jingheng to escape him.
Under Zhou Sheng's coercion, Yu Jingyun confessed everything that had happened in the past few months.
Although he was a Level 4 Awakener, he did not fight his way up from the bloody battlefield. He relied entirely on the glory of his mentally challenged brother, making him outwardly strong but inwardly weak. He was clearly a greedy and mediocre ordinary person.
Even Yinghuo was not established by him, but by the original leader who was controlled by him and then seized power by force.
Knowing the whole story, Zhou Sheng's mockery intensified:
“Brother Xu, see? I told you that these awakened beings who suddenly gained great power have lowly fates, like headless flies. With a little calculation, their destiny can be known.”
"..."
Xu Xin ignored Zhou Sheng and just looked at the foolish Yu Jingheng. He felt a pang of sadness. How pitiful it was that someone who possessed such terrifying power had become a puppet.
Chapter 350 The Side Effects of G1, The Two-Year Period
"Fate? Senior, how did you divine such an ethereal thing?"
Yu Jingyun's voice trembled slightly as he spoke. He never imagined that his life would be so far away, and that the other party would be spying on him.
That's not something you should be concerned about.
Zhou Sheng answered irrelevantly, his smile growing increasingly playful, and said:
"You and your good brother will die soon, captured and killed by the Security Council's experts."
"You idiot, do you really think the spot you're sitting on is so easy to sit in?"
"Trying to recruit awakened individuals and become the leader of the organization—regardless of your initial intentions, the things your henchmen have done, such as plundering the Security Council's resources, are enough to warrant your death a thousand times over. Moreover, you've also secretly killed members of the Security Council, haven't you?"
"Senior, I...I...didn't...they provoked me first..."
Yu Jingyun's eyes darted around, and he spoke timidly, showing none of the arrogance that a Level 4 Awakened should have. His face was deathly pale.
"Let your silly little brother sleep for a while, I'll take you somewhere."
Zhou Sheng decided to let this coward see his own fate so that he could make better use of him.
"Where?" Yu Jingyun asked, somewhat frightened and showing resistance.
"So much nonsense."
Zhou Sheng patiently explained the function of the inner world to him.
After a moment, Yu Jingyun lowered his guard slightly and hesitantly controlled Yu Jingheng to fall into a deep sleep. The mountain-like fat man lay in front of the container, snoring loudly.
"Relax your mind."
"good....."
"Buzz!"
In an instant, Zhou Sheng dragged Yu Jingyun and Xu Xin into the inner world, where they found themselves on a vast plain. The sky was gray and overcast, and there was not a single living being within a hundred miles.
"Use your pig brain and think about when you'll die before I come looking for you."
Zhou Sheng asked Yu Jingyun to verify it.
With a "whoosh!", a fireball the size of a basketball appeared in front of Yu Jingyun, who was filled with astonishment.
Is it really possible? Could the contents inside be real?
“Break it down and you’ll see what you’re looking for. The world has changed, and many people’s influence on the world has shifted. Someone like you, who only has power but doesn’t cultivate the spirit, is already weak. You’re lucky. In the past, this fireball would probably be much bigger, and you wouldn’t be able to open it.”
Zhou Sheng taught him the specific operating methods and also invited Xu Xin along the way:
"Want to give it a try? Old friend, it's a rare treat, why not ask me what you want to know?"
"......"
Xu Xin sighed numbly, plopped down on the ground, lay back on the lawn, and closed his eyes.
He had many questions, of course, including what his master thought of him before he left, and whether Senior Brother Dong ultimately regretted his actions.
However, those were questions he wanted to ask 72 years ago, and they have no meaning for him now, when he is heartbroken.
On the other side, Zhou Sheng's cursing voice could be heard.
"Push harder, you useless piece of trash, you're dragging your feet."
"Senior, this thing is way too hard."
Yu Jingyun used all his strength and finally smashed the fireball with his bare hands. Countless streams of grayish-white light flew towards his brow.
In an instant, time seemed to freeze, but the scene before our eyes changed.
"you.....!!"
Yu Jingyun felt an excruciating pain in his chest and didn't even have the strength to speak.
He saw an old man with white hair and an otherworldly air, his body radiating golden light. His raised right hand crackled with lightning, piercing straight through his heart, causing blood to gush out like a spring.
Yu Jingheng, who was standing nearby, also suffered a calamity. Only half of his obese body remained, which was smashed into the ruins, and his upper body was completely gone.
The surrounding area was littered with corpses. None of the members of Yinghuo were able to escape. They were either killed by the Security Council experts who followed them, or wiped out by one mech after another.
With a loud "boom," the incredibly realistic scene plunged into darkness, pulling Yu Jingyun back into the inner world. He was terrified, his whole body turning cold, and he gasped for breath. The feelings of despair and hatred lingered in his mind for a long time.
Both brothers were Level 4 Awakeners, yet they died such a tragic death?!
"Did you see it clearly?" Zhou Shengming asked knowingly.
"...Can I ask a few more questions?"
Yu Jingyun was still not sure and needed to verify it multiple times. He was prepared to ask some private questions that only he knew.
"ask."
With Zhou Sheng's permission, Yu Jingyun didn't hold back in letting all sorts of thoughts surface.
"Wow!!"
"Wow!!"
"Wow!!"
Within seconds, three fist-sized fireballs appeared out of thin air. Yu Jingyun destroyed them one after another, and after getting the answer, he fell silent, feeling very bad.
"Senior...what is it that you came to see me about?" he asked, voicing the question that had been nagging at him.
“It’s not just you. I’m going to find all the other unlucky guys who were killed like you and put you all together to deal with Zhang Zhiwei. As long as you hold him off, I’ll have a chance to kill the brat next to him.”
Zhou Sheng didn't hide anything; he said whatever was on his mind.
"You choose."
"Come with me, or wait to be killed?"
"It's worth a try."
Yu Jingyun nodded. His life was still being held hostage by these two. Even if he could hide for a while, he couldn't hide forever.
"Alright, come with me to the next city."
The group left the underground plaza and disappeared without a trace.
Over the next few days, Zhou Sheng, Xu Xin, and Yu Jingyun traveled to various jurisdictions, dodging various Security Council checkpoints along the way, and then used the same methods to recruit two awakened individuals.
The fat, mentally challenged man also had a chance to act. Under his brother's orders, he severely injured a Level 4 Awakened who had gotten into a conflict. His strength was undoubtedly the strongest among the four.
If Zhou Sheng hadn't stopped him, that man would have surely died.
With this, the four awakened individuals were gathered, awaiting only the right opportunity to carry out their encirclement and suppression plan.
........
It was 9:30 p.m. on May 26th.
Nearly two weeks have passed since the attack on the Celestial Master's Mansion, and the number of Level 4 Awakened individuals causing trouble within the territory has begun to slowly increase.
Even with three guild leaders hunting down rebels on the front lines, they still couldn't suppress the constant counterattacks.
Of the seven vice presidents and 28 councilors, some were seriously injured and sent to the rear for treatment. Not everyone is like those three monsters standing at the top, winning every battle.
A significant number of Security Council elites died while suppressing the insurgents; some were former company employees, while others were key figures from various factions within the underworld, totaling 216 people.
This tug-of-war seems to be nearing its end, yet it also seems to have just begun; no one knows how long this situation will last.
The situation overseas is even worse. Smaller countries are completely unable to withstand the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of awakened individuals, and their order has been utterly destroyed. Meanwhile, major powers are still cleaning up the mess, constantly deploying all sorts of trump cards of scientific research and weaponry to the battlefield, just to buy more time to retaliate.
That night, in the southwest region, Lu Jin, having completed her mission, took a short rest before attending an online meeting on time.
The meeting was chaired by Wei Yuanming, but unlike the previous meetings, the 38 portrait windows that used to be full now only have 27 people. A total of 11 people were unable to attend due to injuries, and most of them were still in a deep coma or even in danger of death.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work during this period. The project at Chixia University will be completed in about a month, and all the approval procedures have been completed."
When Wei Yuanming announced the news, there were very few responses.
"Is that so? Okay..."
"Finally, I have a solution."
"But this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go."
Everyone was exhausted, and their voices were a little hoarse.
They were either fighting or on their way to fight every day. If it weren't for their extraordinary physical condition, they would have died of exhaustion long ago after two months of such high-pressure conditions where they could only get a few hours of rest each day.
Wei Yuanming noticed his colleague's haggard appearance and, feeling sorry for him, quickly sped up the meeting and focused on the key points.
