Chapter 725: Chen Ye, That Idiot

When Number One heard those words, her entire body stiffened, feeling as though every cell in her being had frozen solid.

Number One turned her head rigidly!

Facing that bizarre face.

On that face... where eyes should have been, two gorgeous flowers bloomed instead.

At this moment, Number One felt as though those two flowers had been watered with fresh blood.

As if they had been watered with the blood of her former teammates.

"You... seem so pitiful!"

"I can see that all your teammates seem to be dead!"

Number One's body shook once more!

This girl had been strong enough, the apocalypse had seen death happen far too many times.

She thought she had long since gotten used to it.

Used to death!

Used to struggling alone in the apocalypse!

But now...

Hearing this monster bring it up, it felt as though she was reliving the scenes of her teammates' deaths all over again.

That nightmare seemed to have crawled from her dreams into reality!

Number Two tilted its head slightly, curiously examining Number One.

The spots where its eye sockets should have been were clearly two bright red flowers, yet now, they seemed to be appraising Number One like actual eyes.

As if they could see straight through a person's heart.

"Mhm, they were killed by those things in the sea!"

"Mhm, they died very miserably!"

"Those things in the sea, they're very crude, very rude, they always make a complete mess of everything!"

Number One's body trembled once more, this time, it seemed she could barely even hold onto the Scarlet Hunt in her hands.

As Number Two spoke these words, the expression on its face was very strange.

It was like...

Like a child who had just gotten a new toy.

Curious, probing...

It seemed that the more frightened Number One became.

The more novel it found the situation.

Because of this incident, it had actually lost interest in Chen Ye and the others.

Perhaps in its eyes, no one here could escape from before its gaze.

...

Chen Ye wanted to run, to escape while Number Two's attention was focused on Number One.

But the moment Chen Ye formed that thought.

He discovered that Number Two was somehow already looking at him.

Chen Ye's entire body went cold, and he dared not move again.

Yet the very next instant, Number Two had already shifted its attention back to Number One.

It seemed that Number One's experiences and emotions were quite novel to it.

"Elder Hou, what the hell are you even good for? You're an elder of the Silent Council! Is this really the best you've got?"

Chen Ye watched as Hou Junji was completely buried under the swarm of birds, unable to stop himself from muttering under his breath.

From within the flock of birds, Elder Hou did not respond.

Whether he hadn't heard, or simply didn't want to answer Chen Ye's question, was anyone's guess.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Number Two was curiously investigating Number One.

It didn't pay too much attention to Chen Ye's situation.

Perhaps, to it, no matter what Chen Ye and the others said, it wouldn't change the fact that they were all going to die.

"Elder Hou, you're also a Sequence 4, don't you have some trump card you've been hiding?"

Chen Ye continued to press.

Elder Hou still did not answer.

Chen Ye was furious: "Damn it, if I'd known you were this useless, I wouldn't have bothered calling you over!"

Chen Ye cursed and grumbled.

Screw it, since they were all going to die anyway, Chen Ye couldn't be bothered to stay polite to his creditor.

"Damn it, if I make it out of this alive, I'm absolutely not paying that money back!"

Chen Ye continued to curse.

Sensing that a pair of eyes from within the flock of birds seemed to be staring at him.

Chen Ye pretended he hadn't noticed.

This was no time to be worrying about paying back money!

Chen Ye was trying to save himself, desperately saving himself.

In the current situation, even summoning the Tangled Crowd would be useless.

There was only the ultimate move, Spirit Infusion Resentment Dragon.

The Hatred at his waist was emitting wisps of black aura.

The moment Number Two appeared, Chen Ye could feel that Hatred had entered its first form.

When he killed Song Wei, Hatred had entered its second form.

When he killed Ye, Hatred had entered its third form.

But in this situation now.

Even if Hatred were in its third form, there was no way it could take down Number Two.

Releasing Hatred right now would only make the battle situation even more complicated, without a single benefit.

Chen Ye glanced at Sun Xixi and Jiang Rou.

At this moment, the pink-haired girl was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, seemingly meditating.

It seemed that this little girl hadn't given up either, apparently planning to use this time to recover as much as she could.

Jiang Rou was the same, seemingly using some very strange method to recover her Supernatural Power.

Wu Zehui was still lying on the Golden Cudgel, breathing heavily, no longer speaking.

Although he wasn't meditating, he seemed to be recovering in his own way.

And that Number Two...

Didn't care about any of it at all.

What other way was there to save himself?

Was he really going to have to release the Resentment Dragon?

If he really did release the Resentment Dragon.

Then there was a good chance that thing wouldn't listen to his commands, and instead, the first person it would want to go after would be him.

Just like the Eight-Limbed Human Face back then.

Save himself! Save himself!

"Hey, Chun Chun, do you still have any cards you haven't played?"

Chen Ye kicked Xiong Baochun, who looked like a defeated rooster.

Xiong Baochun couldn't be bothered to care about what this idiot Chen Ye called him at this point.

Anyway, this bastard's smart mouth wouldn't have more than a few minutes left to run, they were all going to die soon!

Just as Chen Ye thought Xiong Baochun had no way out.

Xiong Baochun silently pulled a syringe from his pocket.

This syringe wasn't a Sequence Serum, the two just happened to both be syringes.

Inside the syringe's tube lay a red liquid.

Seeing that red liquid.

Chen Ye was momentarily stunned, instantly realizing what it was.

He had seen it before in the Silent Council Shop.

The price of this thing wasn't cheap either, it seemed to cost around three thousand Silent Gold Coins.

It was said that this thing only worked on Sequence 1 and Sequence 2 superhumans. After using this syringe, the user would have their Sequence rank increased by one level in a very short period of time.

But this thing also had side effects. Any superhuman who used this serum would never be able to advance to Mid Sequence for the rest of their lives.

Moreover, this wasn't the only side effect.

Being unable to advance to Mid Sequence for life was just one of its side effects.

It was said that this thing was extracted from other Anomalies.

After using it, if one wasn't careful, they might even fail to advance and instead become a new Anomaly themselves.

That was why Chen Ye hadn't exchanged for this thing back then, and had chosen the Wonder's Heart instead.

Very few other superhumans exchanged for this thing either.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Baochun actually had one.

"Back then, when I had just been officially promoted, Captain Song gave this to me!"

"They said I was of the Guardian Sequence, and this thing was perfect for me!"

"Captain Song..."

Xiong Baochun fell silent, grieving...

Suddenly, Xiong Baochun felt his hand grow lighter, and then felt a pain in his buttocks.

He quickly turned his head...

And found that idiot Chen Ye, one hand holding that red syringe, with the needle already jammed into his perky rear.

And that fool Chen Ye was forcefully pushing the red liquid into his buttocks with great effort.

Because that idiot Chen Ye had pushed it in too fast, almost instantaneously.

Xiong Baochun could clearly feel the sensation of the liquid being squeezed into his backside.

Xiong Baochun glared furiously: "Damn it... I hadn't even decided whether to use it or not!"

"Screw that, we're about to die, what the hell are you blabbering about!"

Chen Ye pulled the syringe out, the red liquid had already been completely pushed into Xiong Baochun's perky rear, the syringe was useless now!

"If you didn't use it now, you'd never get the chance!"

Xiong Baochun wanted to say more, but then felt an incredibly scorching energy spreading from his buttocks throughout his entire body.

When the Supernatural Power in his body encountered this energy, it was like fire meeting gasoline.

At this moment, Xiong Baochun felt as though he had been set ablaze.

"Ahhh~~~"

Xiong Baochun roared to the heavens!

Xiong Baochun of the Guardian Sequence 2 was advancing toward Sequence 3 at a speed that was hard for ordinary people to imagine!
