NOVEL NEXT Chapter 473: The Strongest in the Game
Shadow clenched his teeth, enduring the pain coming from his abdomen.
"Do you think all internal tester players will join forces? They won't." Tang Xuerou spoke calmly, her actions pressing step by step, cornering Shadow against the laboratory wall.
"Haven't Night Charm and I always stuck together until now?" Shadow gritted his teeth.
Tang Xuerou nodded, "I have to admit, you and Night Charm are very close, but I'm not you. I don't need to team up with others."
"What about you and Ye Xuan now?"
"I just think he's a little better than you."
Just as Tang Xuerou finished speaking, a mutant person lunged at Ye Xuan from the side. Before reaching Tang Xuerou, He Yalan sent it flying with a spinning kick.
"Thanks." Tang Xuerou didn't look back, merely saying this indifferently to He Yalan.
He Yalan watched Tang Xuerou's back, a fleeting glint in her eyes. She had just overheard some of the conversation between Tang Xuerou and Shadow.
However, Tang Xuerou and Shadow had already moved on to fight elsewhere, and He Yalan had no choice but to join Li Hui in attacking those who had become mutants under Night Charm's control.
At this moment, Ye Xuan brought down a mutant close to Night Charm.
"Ye Xuan, kill us all." The captain said to Ye Xuan, looking at a mutant on the ground.
"Right, kill us. I don't want to be anyone's pet." Zhou Shan shouted along.
Ye Xuan looked at the two of them, his silken threads still avoiding them and attacking another mutant behind.
Watching Ye Xuan's actions, Night Charm suddenly laughed, "You really are amusing. They don't even want to live, yet you're leaving them alive. What for, to let them suffer a little longer?"
Hearing Night Charm's words, the captain and Zhou Shan's faces darkened. Ye Xuan knew their sorrow, but he still wanted to find out what had happened at the rescue station.
"After we left, Night Charm went to the rescue station?" Ye Xuan continued to ask.
"Yes, after you left, Night Charm and Shadow came. They then released the captain, turning him into Night Charm's pet, and then the uncontrollable captain..."
Zhou Shan was explaining when he suddenly started to writhe in pain, forced to raise his sharp claws and fiercely swipe at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan could guess what happened next.
After the captain became Night Charm's pet, he started to act uncontrollably, attacking Zhou Shan and the others. They couldn't resist at all; Shadow fed them the mutants' brains, causing a group of people to turn into mutants.
Then, everyone inside the rescue station became Night Charm's pets. Whenever they heard Night Charm's call, they rushed over uncontrollably and attacked Ye Xuan and the others.
"Ye Xuan, where's Dudu? And my wife? Why did the lab become Night Charm's territory?" The captain looked at Ye Xuan, speaking up once again.
Ye Xuan met the captain's gaze, emotions surging within him, finding himself at a loss for words for a moment.
"Speak, Ye Xuan, why don't you talk? You clearly burned Dudu and his mom with fire. Why can't you admit it now?" Night Charm watched Ye Xuan, suddenly laughing.
This Night Charm, just like Shadow, was someone who could spout nonsense without restraint.
"Bullshit! It was you who turned Dudu's mom into the Mother Evil Dragon Host. Dudu missed his mom, but he got bitten by his mom who had become the Mother Evil Dragon Host. Our boss had no choice but to do it."
Li Hui, who was nearby releasing arrows from his bow, quickly retorted Night Charm's claim.
However, even though Li Hui was trying to protect Ye Xuan, his words, once spoken, would inflict immense pain on the commander-in-chief.
Because the commander-in-chief had pinned his last hopes on Dudu and his wife. But it never crossed his mind that his wife would become their Mother Evil Dragon experimental subject, transforming into the Mother Evil Dragon Host.
Moreover, Dudu died alongside her.
"Not bad at all." Ye Mei suddenly burst into laughter, the phosphorescent light in his hand took to the air once again, landing on the commander-in-chief's head.
After receiving the directive from Ye Mei, the commander-in-chief completely lost control.
"Aaaah... kill, kill, kill!"
The commander-in-chief roared, flailing Jiang Li's claws, and once again, he swung them viciously towards Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan's gaze darkened as he watched the commander-in-chief's violent outburst.
The commander-in-chief's emotions were uncontrollable just now, and taking advantage of that, Ye Mei released a phosphorescent light. Once received by the commander-in-chief, he was completely unconscious.
"Ye Xuan, quick, kill us." Zhou Shan, looking at the state the commander-in-chief was in, felt extremely sorrowful and could only urge him desperately.
The flames in Ye Xuan's palms once again flared, it seems that, now, there really was no other choice.
"Boom."
The fierce flames swiftly engulfed the commander-in-chief and Zhou Shan before them.
Zhou Shan closed his eyes, waiting for death to arrive.
"Suddenly, I feel that this game is a bit dull." Ye Mei said with a chuckle as he watched Ye Xuan release the flames.
Ye Xuan gripped the knife tightly in his hand. To Ye Mei, was all this merely a game, simply unamusing?
"Swoosh."
During these days in the death game, Ye Xuan started to feel increasingly the chilling nature of the death game.
People like Ye Mei and Shadow, who completely treated the death game as just a game, could progress much further in it. However, those burdened with attachments, those hoping to save others, saw all their hopes shattered.
This game aims to tell everyone that no matter how much you struggle, it is futile. Once you've entered this game, you can only follow the game's pattern.
However, Ye Mei and Shadow have been brainwashed by this cold game; they've become mere tools.
Ye Xuan did not want to become a tool of this game, but he also did not want to be slaughtered by the players within it due to carrying too many attachments.
He wanted to destroy this game.
But before that, he had to become the strongest within it.
Only by becoming the strongest, by reaching the very end of this game, could Ye Xuan have a chance to destroy this cold game.
"You're right, this game is utterly pointless." Ye Xuan suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ye Mei, who was squatting on the table, suddenly looked up, a touch of surprise in his eyes. Ye Xuan at this second seemed like a completely different person from before.
The Ye Xuan from before seemed like just a kind-hearted high school student, but the current Ye Xuan was different.
Just like Ye Xuan's ID suggested, the Ye Xuan of this moment was like a real Ye Xuan.
