Chapter 76

On one side, there was a pursuit and gunfight, and on the other, a non-human melee. Despite his strong desire to seize and destroy the conversion agent inside the golden spherical light shield, Ye Yun was at a loss for what to do at this moment.

Without a doubt, even though he was part of the T team, the bad impression he had left earlier meant that if he rushed in now, he would likely be immediately attacked by both sides.

While he was pondering, a wave of killing intent surged from behind.

Ye Yun turned around vigilantly, only to find that Winifred had already emerged from the passage.

The two made eye contact, and Ye Yun saw a hint of weariness in Winifred's eyes, not physical, but mental, as if she was tired.

Ye Yun was surprised. He thought that since Winifred was an elite of the CT team, she must have seen similar scenes before. What could be causing this sense of weakness?

But then, he saw Zhang Yusheng, who had deep bloodshot eyes, standing behind Winifred. He also looked exhausted, and the only expression on his face was deep hatred.

Regarding these two, Ye Yun was naturally cautious, but not overly fearful. He asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Zhang Yusheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "The Unlucky Wolf! I must kill him! Using Roger's hands to vent my hatred is not enough; I must kill him with my own hands!"

Winifred plopped down into the nearest spectator seat and said deeply, "I underestimated the Unlucky Wolf. He actually used [ZX-III]!"

Ye Yun asked curiously, "What is [ZX-III]?"

Zhang Yusheng explained, "It's a type of neurotoxin, likely mixed into the solid carbon dioxide used as fog on the stage. Inhaling it makes people mentally vulnerable and easily susceptible to manipulation. In other words..."

Winifred continued, "In other words, the Unlucky Wolf must have already detected the plan between the T team's cross-dresser and Zhang Yusheng. Instead of informing Zhang Yusheng, he secretly pushed the plan, making the chaos and riots even more intense! This is why both sides of the ordinary players were so疯狂地屠杀平民的原因。"

Ye Yun drew a sharp breath, "Why did he do this? Zhang Yusheng, I heard that person is the backup you brought in? Like Winifred?"

Winifred spat, "I'm nothing like that scum!"

Since they couldn't join the chaos anyway, Zhang Yusheng explained, "Major Winifred belongs to the largest CT organization in China, the [Republican Guard], specifically the southern front division [Five-Star Emblem Shield]. The Unlucky Wolf, on the other hand, is from the independent team [Seven Wolves]. The Five-Star Emblem Shield and Seven Wolves have cooperated in several major events and mainline missions in the past, but overall, they are not allies. This time, Zhang Yushan went to the mainland to find reinforcements. I originally thought only the Five-Star Emblem Shield would send people, but I didn't expect the Unlucky Wolf to come as well, and apparently, he was hired at a high price by Zhang Yushan."

Ye Yun asked, "Why? Just because this person is exceptionally intelligent?"

"Because he is ruthless!" Winifred said fiercely, "This scum should have been a T! The Seven Wolves act without restraint, using anyone and any organization to their advantage, and they don't treat human lives as human lives. They are brutal and merciless. Zhang Yushan hired such a person because, although the Seven Wolves' actions will make many of his own people cannon fodder, they can thoroughly annihilate the enemy... Zhang Yushan has long harbored ambitions to dominate Hong Kong, so..."

"You're wrong," Zhang Yusheng said with a cold laugh, "For someone from the Republican Guard, you should understand. Zhang Yushan is just a puppet of the Seven Wolves and the [No. 3 Research Institute]!"

"What!?" Winifred looked up in surprise.

"No. 3 Research Institute?" Ye Yun asked curiously, "What is that?"

"A group of scientists who claim to be neutral and good (NG) but are actually a bunch of evil bastards!" Zhang Yusheng said angrily.

Winifred said, "What do you mean? The Republican Guard and the No. 3 Research Institute have dealings. Their actions are very much in line with the neutral and good style."

Zhang Yusheng sneered, "That's because you only see the surface! Do you remember who Zhang Yushan is to me?"

"My father."

"Exactly! My father's name is Zhang Yushan, the former head of the Hong Kong Anti-Black Group, a man who truly hated evil. Even when my sister and I were threatened by criminals as children, my father never compromised! He always believed that the interests of the people... the 'public' interests were greater than those of the family. Because of this character and his abilities, my father received countless medals and was personally received by the Special Administrative Region's Chief Executive and national leaders!"

Zhang Yusheng's eyes swept over Zhang Yushan, who was fighting alongside Roger, "But now? Selfish, sacrificing the people, treating subordinates as cannon fodder... humph, this Zhang Yushan is not my father!"

Ye Yun listened in silence. The image of Zhang Yusheng's father was not so different from his own uncle. Being raised by such a father, it was only natural that Zhang Yusheng would lean towards extreme justice.

Winifred frowned, "But he is Zhang Yushan, after the No. 3 Research Institute..."

She suddenly froze, her gaze on Zhang Yusheng turning to shock.

Zhang Yusheng said, "Exactly, my father was critically injured in a battle two years ago and was near death. The No. 3 Research Institute contacted the Special Administrative Region's Chief Executive, taking my father away under the pretext of treatment. When he returned... humph, he wasn't even a gamer, but when he came back, he had the rank of a lieutenant colonel and used ruthless methods to eliminate his rivals, quickly securing the highest position in the Hong Kong CT and founding the Kowloon Military."

His eyes were filled with cold fury, "This Zhang Yushan, apart from my father's memories and face, has nothing in common with my father! Later, I found out that although the No. 3 Research Institute claims to be neutral and good and deals with CT teams from various countries, they actually have more contact with chaotic good (CG) players like the Seven Wolves! Many military and police heroes valued by the national CT groups and sent to the No. 3 Research Institute for treatment were brainwashed and reprogrammed before being returned. They appear to follow the orders of the national CT groups, but secretly, they obey the hidden chaotic good (CG) organizations!"

Snap!

A light sound caught the attention of Zhang Yusheng and Winifred.

Ye Yun's fists were cracking, and the plastic back of the seat in his hand was already crushed to pieces.

He said, word by word, "No. 3 Research Institute...?"

"Exactly, it's the same institution where your uncle 'Dragon and Phoenix' was sent for treatment," a soft but sinister voice said.

"It's you!"

"Unlucky Wolf!!!"

"Is what you said true!?"

Ye Yun, Zhang Yusheng, and Winifred suddenly looked at the man who had just appeared.

PS: Now you understand why Zhang Yusheng acted the way he did earlier, right?
