Chapter 1121: The mastermind behind the scenes reveals themself! Don't come near me!

A single missile directly severed all hope of "rebirth."

The impact was so strong that a massive crater appeared on the ground.

All the monsters perished under the power of the missile.

When it comes down to it, they were still carbon-based lifeforms.

Anything made of flesh and blood will fear high temperatures.

Their tolerance limit is far lower than that of metal.

Even the building structures melted away, let alone flesh and blood.

A few minutes later, the turmoil gradually subsided.

The survivors pushed aside the debris on their bodies and crawled out from the ruins.

Zhang Tiancheng looked at the black, flocculent matter drifting in the air, a hint of curiosity appearing in his eyes.

"Is it over?"

"Cough, cough, damn it."

Wang Defa touched his head, looked down, and discovered his palm was stained with an unknown, viscous, blood-colored substance.

It looked like fragments of some monster's internal organs.

It disgusted him to the core.

"They're all dead..." one person murmured, looking at the devastated land.

"Wait, where is Su Yang?" Lin Yang suddenly asked.

Qin Weiyang tossed her hair and pointed forward, saying, "Over there."

Lin Yang looked up abruptly and saw a black figure standing quietly, holding a piece of metal plate that had been turned red-hot.

"He's still alive?!" Lin Yang's eyes lit up with joy, and he rushed over.

"Su Yang!"

Lin Yang leaped up, hanging onto him like a koala.

"You're heavy," Su Yang said, casually tossing the metal plate aside.

"What are you talking about? I only weigh a hundred-something jin, alright?" Lin Yang chuckled.

"That hundred-something jin was before your gene modification; you're far more than that now," Su Yang glanced at him sideways and smiled.

"I don't care, I'm light anyway, and you're strong, so you have to carry me," Lin Yang shook his head.

At this moment, Qin Weiyang walked over and looked him up and down.

Her gaze then landed on the injury on Su Yang's chest.

A large hole had been torn open in his chest, and even his internal organs were clearly visible.

She furrowed her brows and took out an injection.

Su Yang had just raised his hand to refuse when he saw her eyes filled with warning: "You have to listen to me this time."

Hearing the tone that sounded like she was coaxing a child, Su Yang was left speechless.

It was just that the expression displayed by his current demon body was somewhat chilling.

As the injection pierced his skin, the injuries on Su Yang's body healed instantly.

He looked at Qin Weiyang and said solemnly, "Thanks."

A faint smile appeared on Qin Weiyang's cold face.

In that instant, it was like spring flowers blooming, making one feel an unprecedented sense of peace.

"Playing favorites, are we? Why don't you smile at me?" Lin Yang expressed his dissatisfaction.

As soon as these words were out, Qin Weiyang immediately retracted her smile, turned around, and walked away: "Boring!"

"Hey!" Lin Yang shouted that it was unfair and chased after her, determined to demand an explanation.

Su Yang watched the scene of the two chasing each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Suddenly, a rope was thrown down from the sky.

Immediately after, a figure slid down along the rope.

Looking at the face in front of him, Su Yang reached out his hand: "Long time no see, Brother Huang."

The person who arrived was none other than Huang Hua, still dressed in his usual eccentric Daoist attire.

His hair was tied up, and he wore a square-shaped hat.

"It seems you knew it was me all along?" Huang Hua reached out to shake his hand.

Su Yang explained: "To be honest, I initially suspected it was Zhuge Chen, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem quite right."

"After all, if he were my dependent, there would be no reason for him to hide."

"At the very least, he wouldn't have taken so long to come forward and acknowledge me."

Huang Hua nodded secretly upon hearing this and continued: "When did you find out?"

Su Yang paused slightly, pondered for a long time, and then said: "... It must have been that strange warning sign."

Huang Hua's heart stirred: "The one outside the abandoned office building?"

Su Yang nodded: "Such a new 'Caution: Radiation' sign was not only abrupt but also inexplicable."

Not long ago, when they set off from the White Bear statue with Lian Shiqi's group to find the Blue Whale Company's experimental products, they had noticed this strange scene.

Initially, Zhuang Wu thought it was just a prank.

But Su Yang had kept an extra eye on it.

It wasn't until he was clearing mines alone that he unexpectedly felt the scene was somewhat familiar.

It was quite similar to the experience of fighting against foreign enemies in Jinshan City.

Then, combining this with the beginning of everything—

Yue Lan "seeing" the Bee King.

At this point, Su Yang deduced that the mastermind behind all this must be Huang Hua.

And not Zhuge Chen.

"It's not that I didn't want to greet you, it's just that the situation forced my hand, and it wasn't convenient for me to show my face," Huang Hua explained.

"Completely understand, you Free People have too many issues," Su Yang nodded.

Huang Hua sensed the exclusionary attitude in his tone and asked: "You don't want to become a Free Person?"

Su Yang neither admitted nor denied it, just smiled and said: "I've been trying hard to do so, but as you can see..."

"Without your help, I certainly wouldn't have been able to make it this far."

"Talents are gifts bestowed by the Divine, but they are also shackles."

"But after three whole death games, having lost such a great aid, I don't have the confidence to survive."

"Everything has two sides; at this stage, I don't want to pick a side."

Huang Hua nodded in agreement upon hearing this: "Indeed, your talent is hard to give up for the time being."

"But you must also know that the further time goes on, the smaller your opportunities will become."

"When that time comes, wanting to take off this 'outer garment' won't be such a simple matter."

Su Yang finally understood.

Everything Huang Hua did wasn't just for his own main quest.

It was more about wanting Su Yang to become someone like him.

To be precise—

Someone from the same camp.

Regarding this, Su Yang said: "When the time comes, it will naturally happen; if it's not meant for me, forcing it won't help, don't you think?"

Huang Hua shook his head: "I don't have as much courage as you."

?

Su Yang looked at him with a strange expression: "You dare to bet your life on the kindness and loyalty of your roommates, yet you say you don't have as much courage as me?"

Facing the teasing, Huang Hua didn't show much of a reaction.

He just smiled.

Just as he was about to continue persuading him, a sudden change occurred!

"Puchi!"

A sound rang out, and a figure behind Su Yang suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Turning his head to look, he saw a corpse with blood flowing from its skull lying on the ground.

And standing directly in front of the corpse was a woman holding an axe.

The woman's eyes were vacant, and her face was expressionless.

The next moment, she suddenly erupted and killed a nearby player.

The incident happened so suddenly that everyone didn't even react in time.

"Ali, what are you doing?"

The woman's partner suddenly stepped forward to subdue her, eyes filled with deep disbelief.

The person she had killed was none other than a partner from her own team.

Su Yang frowned slightly, and just as he was about to have Wang Defa figure out the reason, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his brain.

"Ugh!"

Su Yang's legs went weak, and he instantly knelt on the ground, the familiar pain surging in like a tide.

His head felt as if it were about to be torn in two!

"Su Yang?!"

Not far away, Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang, who were debating, saw this and their expressions changed, and they rushed over.

"Don't come over!"

Su Yang gasped for breath, his pupils gradually dilating.

How familiar this pain was.

It was exactly the punishment the other party used the chip in his brain to inflict when he first defied Gao Zhiyi.

But clearly, the "re-modification" had already cleared the chip away completely.

But how...

"Roar!"

Su Yang let out an inhuman roar, his twisting body suddenly freezing.

Immediately after, he stood up stiffly...

And suddenly lunged at Lin Yang to kill him!

"Die!"
