I even saw those brain-eating worms in the group chat—ew~” She shuddered all over, “I’m terrified of insects!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How? Are they scarier than these deformed monsters in Wucheng?” asked Kong Yueze, the messy-haired man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s different—bugs are my childhood trauma!” Xing Tongwen rolled her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reinforcements stationed at the Lotus Hotel in Wucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Yang Yi had arrived and single-handedly destroyed a 36-person amalgam monster, the Wucheng authorities were thrilled and immediately sent a dedicated vehicle to pick them up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way back, Kong Yueze grumbled that his team had been hunting the monster for days and were about to succeed—only for Yang Yi to show up and steal the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Tongwen snorted: “Come on, we chased it for days and nearly got absorbed ourselves—if not for Captain Yang, we’d still be clueless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exposed by his own teammate, Kong Yueze looked embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way to the Lotus Hotel, Yang Yi sensed Wucheng’s oppressive atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pedestrians hurried past, their faces filled with fear, each keeping a wide distance from the others, as if afraid strangers might suddenly turn into monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city had also changed its schedule: during the thickest fog in the morning and evening, everyone stayed indoors; only when the sun came out did people venture out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drastically reduced travel and work hours; once known as the “City That Never Sleeps,” Wucheng had become a “ghost town” even before nightfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Lotus Hotel, after being briefed by scientists, Yang Yi and her team learned the specifics of this A-rank threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These monsters were all once humans; some who entered the fog were transformed by some strange force into deformed amalgams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We once captured a monster for dissection and found that once fused, a person loses all self-awareness—even if their brain remains intact,” Professor Li said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The original human consciousness is twisted and exploited by this strange force, resonating with surrounding dark matter energy to attack ordinary people and Awakeners, inducing mental paralysis—then triggering further fusion and expansion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The larger the monster, the stronger its mental attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imagine what kind of terrifying entity might form if this fusion continues unchecked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi’s heart jolted; she quickly asked: “How many people are missing now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Li sighed. “According to this morning’s count, about 2,765 people are missing—not including those living alone and unreachable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chang’an asked urgently: “And how many have these amalgam monsters killed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Including the 36-person amalgam you killed this morning, we have confirmed 978 deaths. The remaining nearly 1,800 are still listed as missing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Chang’an turned pale: “So there could be a single amalgam monster of nearly two thousand people hiding somewhere in Wucheng?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 36-person amalgam they’d encountered this morning had paralyzed them completely; if a two-thousand-person amalgam existed, its power was beyond his imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yi’s heart also trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. And so far, we haven’t found the cause behind this transformation. If we can’t uncover the root cause, even killing these monsters won’t stop new ones from forming—that’s the real terror,” Professor Li said heavily, then looked at Yang Yi with hope:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain Yang, it’s been eight or nine days since this began, and the situation is worsening. Not only is Wucheng in panic, but the entire Sichuan Province is growing restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All roads leading into Wucheng are now sealed; supplies come from neighboring cities. As long as this crisis persists, the roads won’t reopen. If things continue like this, even if Wucheng’s people don’t die from this strange force, they’ll collapse from exhaustion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Professor Li’s hopeful gaze, Yang Yi could only respond with solemn determination that she would do her best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But inside, she had no clue at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after the briefing, the mayor of Wucheng and the city party secretary personally arrived to invite Yang Yi, Wei Chang’an, and Chen Yushu to dinner, to “show proper hospitality.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because news of Wuming City’s resolution had boosted their confidence in Yang Yi, their attitude toward her was overly enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expectations and warmth only increased Yang Yi’s pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she felt utterly unprepared, she felt she didn’t deserve the meal and politely declined, saying she must immediately dive into the crisis—dinner could wait until the problem was solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people wanted her promise; once they had her verbal commitment, they let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yang Yi stepped out of the Lotus Hotel, Ding Gao’s team was also preparing to depart and saw Wucheng’s officials warmly seeing her off; Ding Gao sneered silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, no wonder they call her the number one Awakener—look at this prestige! Look at this show!” Kong Yueze muttered bitterly, “When will we ever get treated like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you reach S-rank,” Xing Tongwen said, though a little envious, she wasn’t jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This Wucheng crisis isn’t some fire demon burning down the city—it can’t be solved by brute force alone,” Ding Gao said coolly. “We still don’t know what causes these monsters. Even if we kill them all, it won’t help. Let’s see what this ‘God Among Men’ can actually do…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-06-20T07:52:47.920Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dae3c28814e92b4a1f24e3346e392f46c00e24d454a0e01d9ac9fba3fdff0098","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-65","after-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-chapter-63",246,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-becoming-a-god-among-humans-i-just-want-to-cover.jpg"]
