Chapter 72

Two strong parties met, but they did not immediately take action, not even to draw their guns or find cover to prepare for an attack.

Zhang Yueshan and his men stood in the middle of the scene, just staring at the Chagui team.

However, Ye Yun was not surprised by this.

Since the Chagui team had placed the information that could attract Nuya on every LED screen, the CT high command would naturally...

"I know what you're thinking, but unfortunately, you're wrong," Cang Xing said with a chuckle, like a fox who had stolen a hen.

Ye Yun was puzzled, "You know?"

"Of course," Cang Xing said, "You must think they came here to intercept the Chagui team from killing Nuya."

"Isn't that the case?"

"Of course not. Don't you think it would be better to set an ambush in the passage leading here if they wanted to intercept Nuya?"

"What if the Chagui team is prepared?"

"A few stray cats, what use could they be?"

Ye Yun looked at him in surprise, "Then tell me, why did they come here?"

"Zhang Yusheng!" Zhang Yueshan roared from a distance, interrupting their conversation, "We're already here, what the hell are you up to!?"

Ye Yun's eyes widened, and Cang Xing's smile became even more cunning and satisfied.

Tap, tap.

Footsteps slowly sounded, and Zhang Yusheng slowly emerged from behind a car in the corner.

His movements were not particularly fast, and his hands were in his pockets, looking very relaxed.

However, his expression was too calm, calm as if a storm was about to brew.

This man walked between 'Gang Jiu Jun Li' and 'Chagui Team,' and his previously stiff expression finally relaxed, as if he had made an important decision, greeting everyone, "Hello, everyone."

Zhang Yueshan said coldly, "You called us here, what do you want to do? Where is Yulian? Where is the thing?"

"You know you came for the 'thing,' so at least give me a chance to speak."

Zhang Yusheng glanced at him and took a few steps toward the Chagui Team, "Major Roger, it's rare to see you, how are you?"

Roger's face was dark, "Zhang Yusheng, what are you up to? What does my health have to do with you?"

"It was irrelevant, but now that I've made a decision, it's relevant."

Zhang Yusheng said calmly, "Your hidden character, I assume, has completed the statistics, right? According to my experience, the number of Nuya kills on that... hmm, at least before the chaos began, it was (6/20), and after the Nuya on the stage was killed, it became (7/20)?"

"Yes," everyone had experienced the hunting mission, so Roger had no reason to hide it.

Zhang Yusheng stroked his chin, "Unfortunately, it has changed now. I don't know what the first number is, but the second number should have become 21, right?"

"Zhang Yusheng! You dare!"

"You... you did it!?"

"Damn!"

A single word stirred a thousand waves. Zhang Yueshan and Roger both stared at Zhang Yusheng with wide eyes, while Ye Yun's gaze, like a searchlight, swept over Cang Xing, "It's you!"

Cang Xing smiled sweetly, "What about me?"

"Of course, this makes sense!" Ye Yun said, "The reason Nuya infiltrated here but wasn't discovered is that they came in human form, but they had a potion or something that could transform them into Nuya, which they could use at a critical moment!"

He took a deep breath, "I should have thought of it earlier. Although I didn't participate in the siege at Zhang Yafen's house, it was always under surveillance. How could two Nuya suddenly appear? This means there must be something that can turn ordinary people into Nuya!"

"Go on," Cang Xing said with great interest.

Ye Yun continued, "The mission originally stated that there were 20 Nuya, but that was only because the mysterious organization had 20 people with the transformation item. However, the item they had might not be limited to one per person!"

"Rijian and Yuejian are at your disposal, how could a person who likes to get their hands dirty let them do the killing for you? Clearly, you were using them to find the people carrying the item that would turn them into Nuya—though I don't know how you found them—and then using your stealthy attack method to kill them and take the item!"

"I don't know how much Zhang Yusheng was involved, but it's clear you did much more!"

"That's also why I saw your figure when the Nuya appeared in the audience of the venue... You clearly used the item to turn ordinary people into Nuya!"

"Counting the Nuya killed on the stage, we have killed seven, including four on Subway Line 3, two at Zhang Yafen's house, and one on the stage."

"But the one on the stage was created by you, so the original number of 20 would become 21!"

"Very good, then what?" Cang Xing's eyes were filled with a thick smile, more out of genuine desire and excitement.

(What a smart guy, I really want to get stronger with you!)

"Then?" Ye Yun said, his cold sweat pouring down, "Is Zhang Yusheng crazy? What he holds is the key to turning the tide for the Chagui Team! Whoever gets this item, the Chagui Team and the CT high command (Cang Xing reminded, 'Gang Jiu Jun Li') will surely engage in a life-and-death battle! The intensity of this battle will determine the number of the Nuya transformation items in Zhang Yusheng's hands!"

Clap, clap, clap.

Cang Xing clapped, "You've deduced so much from such a small detail, you are indeed the man I've chosen."

Ye Yun ignored his perverted teasing, his palms drenched in sweat.

On the other side, both sides had already drawn their guns, and several members of the Chagui Team were subtly moving to protect Zhang Yusheng.

"Don't be impulsive, the item may not be in my hands."

Zhang Yusheng parted the crowd and walked between the two groups, "Major Roger, you haven't told me yet."

Roger sneered, "What's there to say? Of the remaining seven Nuya, three were taken away by you, and four are already dead... I initially had some hope, but now it seems that all the members of the mysterious organization with the Nuya transformation potion are dead, and the potion has been taken by someone unknown!"

He shouted, "Zhang Yusheng, state your terms, and I'll be honest with you. My current mission completion rate is... huh?"

"Beep!"

"Warning! Warning!"

"Three Nuya controllers are still alive!"

"The Nuya controllers have used enhancing drugs!"

"The Nuya controllers can now fully control [Initial Evolution Nuya]!"

"The overall strength of [Initial Evolution Nuya] is 3:1 compared to the current version of Nuya!"

"Game difficulty increased! All player mission rewards/punishments doubled!"

"Available information: Two people currently hold [Initial Transformation Agent], with a total of 13 bottles, capable of transforming 13 Nuya!"

"Main mission [Threat Level] increased!"

"!!! Everyone was stunned."

Ye Yun looked at the scene in disbelief, cold sweat instantly covering his body!

He had killed three players from his own camp, including Rijian and Yuejian, and lost 1300 game points!

Previously, he had completed five regular missions for 2500 points and received 750 points from the Interloper (Part 1) mission, plus his original savings, he had 35910 game points!

If this mission failed and he lost 18000 x 2 = 36000 points, his game points would immediately become negative!

Even if he only went negative by 90 points, he would be kicked out of the game!!!

He must stop all Nuya from appearing!

His gaze darted between the Chagui Team and Gang Jiu Jun Li, and to his surprise, neither side showed overly agitated expressions.

"Gang Jiu Jun Li, since they are prepared to abandon the mission to ensure the Chagui Team's failure, they must have prepared for the punishment. A few hundred thousand game points mean nothing to them," Cang Xing said with a smile.

Ye Yun turned sharply, "How many bottles do you have!?"

"Ten bottles," Cang Xing said honestly, "Zhang Yusheng also has ten bottles, but the evolution liquid in our hands must have some that cannot be used, because the mission prompt said there were 13 bottles... Seven bottles were obtained from the seven unmutated individuals, and 21 bottles were extracted using the centrifuge provided by Zhang Yusheng. Now, it seems that due to some restriction, the original seven individuals are also counted, so it's normal that the seven bottles cannot be used."

Ye Yun said solemnly, "What does Zhang Yusheng want!?"

Before Cang Xing could answer, Roger laughed, "Now, my Nuya kill count is... 11/14. Whether the second number remains unchanged or changes depends on the choice of the person holding the transformation agent."

He said profoundly, "Zhang Yusheng, I can give you a contract for three million game points and a promise of a Chagui Team operation, plus an immediate anti-elimination item... in exchange for the transformation agent in your hands, how about it?"

"Ah," Zhang Yusheng smiled, raising his hand. In his palm, a golden spherical light shield containing ten test tubes of star-blue liquid floated, "I'm not short of money. Just this [Life Guardian] is worth 100,000, and no one can open it without my password."

The light sphere, weightless, was tossed a few times in his palm, and Zhang Yusheng said lazily, "The password? I can't remember it right now. If you want the liquid inside, sure, I set it so that [Life Guardian] will automatically unlock if it remains in one person's possession for more than half an hour."

"Then..."

"Rogue, dare you!" Zhang Yueshan's eyes turned blood red, wanting to rush over to stop him, but it was too late.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yusheng's eyes turned fierce, and he released the light sphere from his hand like a goalkeeper, then kicked it hard, sending the golden light sphere flying toward the parking lot entrance!

"Kill!"

As if the referee had blown the whistle, Gang Jiu Jun Li and the Chagui Team rushed toward the direction where the light sphere disappeared, and the slaughter began between them!

On the other side, Ye Yun also shot forward like lightning, determined to prevent the appearance of Nuya, which was now twice as powerful!

However, just as he was halfway there, a woman in a white sleeveless crop top with a red tie, black-green tight pants, and short, fiery red hair appeared in front of him, her eyes blazing, "Little thief! You're really not dead!"

Vanessa!!!
