Chapter 9: Wilderness Murder 1
December 1st.
The Evolution Camp entered its final month.
The 101st batch of students who did not pass the second comprehensive test had been eliminated.
Unless there was another opportunity, they would never be able to become an Evolver. They could only find a job in the competitive base city and work hard to climb the social ladder.
However, in the apocalypse where monsters wreaked havoc, it was very dangerous to not have the strength to protect oneself.
No matter how much money they earned, who knew when the base city would be destroyed by a tide of monsters?
By now, more than half of the base cities had been buried in the dust of history.
"Brother Yang, he left the camp," Shi Hou, who had a scar on his face, sent a message to Sun Yang. His gaze fell on the entrance of the camp, where Wang Ye gradually walked away.
"Follow him. Don't get discovered."
"Roger!"
Shi Hou was short, wearing a student's combat uniform with a short knife hanging at his waist. He looked just like the other students who were going out to train.
After the facial recognition was approved, he sped up and followed.
...
Two hours later.
Four lackeys, led by Sun Yang, gathered around an abandoned Audi.
"Where is he?" Sun Yang was furious and questioned Shi Hou.
"I don't know," Shi Hou's face was filled with depression as he pointed at an abandoned building in the distance and explained, "He went in there in the end. I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't follow him. He hasn't come out yet."
"Heh, you're not afraid of being discovered, but of being ambushed by the mutated monsters inside, right?" Ding Jinchao said coldly,
"You make it sound like you're not afraid," Shi Hou was furious.
"Stop talking nonsense, go in and finish him off!" Yan Zhuofeng was 1.88 meters tall, and he stood out among the four of them. His thick arms were like steel, and he carried a battle axe on his back. His aura was brutal.
"Brother Yang wants us to leave no trace, so we have to do it in a place with fewer people," Ding Jinchao said with an expression that read "You idiot".
"This place is about 5.5 kilometers away from the camp. It should be enough," Sun Yang looked around. There were only ruins everywhere.
This was an old neighborhood that had been destroyed. Although the buildings were not particularly dense, there were many hidden spots. The possibility of mutated monsters appearing was very high, and it was quite dangerous.
Had Wang Ye come here to train? Was he crazy or stupid?
"He might have gone the wrong way," Sun Yang didn't think too much about it and said to the three of them, "We'll search in groups of two. Keep a distance and keep in touch. Whichever group finds him, take action immediately. The other group will guard the surroundings and block his way. We must not let him escape! Zhuo Feng, you and Monkey form a team and search inside. Ding and I will go over there."
"Alright!"

"Four."
Wang Ye looked down from a room on the fourth floor through the cracks in the curtains that were full of holes.
"I can settle them altogether."
Wang Ye retracted his gaze and his expression turned cold.
Ten days ago, these four people had ganged up on the original owner of this body and snatched the evolution fruit.
Sun Yang had delivered the fatal blow. His methods were quite ruthless, treating the original owner of this body like a mutated monster.
Ten days later, they were after him again.
They were pressing forward step by step, wanting to eliminate him and leave no way out!
This old residential area was Xingyu New Village. There were no elevators and the houses were dilapidated.
Yesterday, Wang Ye had explored the area and familiarized himself with the surroundings. He had also cleared out some mutated monsters.
Compared to Sun Yang's group of four, not only was he in the dark, but he also had an absolute geographical advantage.
"They're coming up."
Wang Ye could hear the sound of footsteps.
He knew, of course, that Shi Hou had been following him. Even though the latter was stealthy, his senses were much sharper than before.
If he disappeared in this residential building, the first target of the other party's search would definitely be here.
But unexpectedly, only two came up.
"Second floor."
Wang Ye leaned against the door and listened to the footsteps.
"Third floor."
The residential building in Xingyu New Village was not big. It had six floors in total, with two suites on each floor.
Wang Ye was currently hiding in Room 401, which was the room on the left side of the fourth floor. It was very suitable for an ambush.
"Strange, where did he go?" Shi Hou carefully searched every room.
"Did you miss something?" Yan Zhuofeng was holding a battle axe and destroying the rooms violently.
"Impossible. I've been watching this building. He never left!" Shi Hou swore solemnly, and his expression suddenly changed, "Could he have discovered me?"
Yan Zhuofeng laughed out loud and said disdainfully, "So what if he did? Hide? I don't believe that we can't find him if we search this place thoroughly!"
As he spoke, he took the ax and hacked around, causing the veins on his biceps to bulge.
Yan Zhuofeng's score on the strength test was over 60, which was quite high.
"He's not here! Let's go to the fourth floor!" Shi Hou shouted at Yan Zhuofeng, who was still in the room.
Just as he stepped out of the door, his hair stood on end.
As if sensing the impending danger, Shi Hou wanted to retreat, but it was too late.
Chi!
A cold light fell.
Wang Ye turned his chopping attack into a stab and took a step to change his stance.
Even though Shi Hou's reaction was extremely fast, he was no faster than Wang Ye's blade.
The blade mercilessly slashed across his neck, and blood spurted out. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Wang Ye!"
Yan Zhuofeng, who had just walked out of the room, widened his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him. He gripped his battle axe tightly with both hands and slashed at Wang Ye who had appeared at the door.
Pu, pu, pu!
Wang Ye took out a pepper spray. The safety cap had been opened long ago. He aimed at Yan Zhuofeng and sprayed continuously.
Yan Zhuofeng screamed in pain as tears kept flowing out of his eyes. He felt as if his trachea was on fire, and he couldn't stop coughing. The sourc𝗲 of this content nov(𝒆l)bi((n))
He hurriedly retreated and waved his ax.
Wang Ye naturally wouldn't give the other party any chance. He casually threw the pepper spray away and revealed his saber.
