Chapter 179: Crafting the Sound-Localization System

With a loud laugh, a fresh trace of approval flickered once again in his eyes.

"Chen Yi, you truly are different from me. You know how to draw inferences from one case to others, and you think far more than we do. Very well, I can tell you this: I am not making an example of anyone; I am officially notifying you that if you continue to contend with us like this, their fate today shall be your tomorrow!"

"Such arrogant words!"

Kunpeng intended to step forward and annihilate this fellow, but Chen Yi stopped him.

"Boss!"

Kunpeng looked at him with some puzzlement. "This guy has already..."

Chen Yi shook his head. "Why bother arguing with a fool?"

"What did you say?"

The commander sitting inside the aircraft also revealed an icy expression. Never had he imagined that even after bringing matters to such a pass, Chen Yi could still respond to his demands with such steady composure, leaving him utterly tongue-tied.

"Chen Yi, what kind of monster are you anyway?"

"You're the monster!"

Faced with the man's provocation, Chen Yaoxi could not help letting out a cold snort.

"If you want to fight my brother, you must be having the worst luck in eight lifetimes. Just wait and see how my brother twists your head off!"

"Little girl, do not be so arrogant and despotic!"

The man replied through gritted teeth, "I am telling you, if you act like this again, once I capture you, I will surely turn you into a specimen!"

"Who dares lay a hand on her?"

Chen Yi's gaze turned chillingly cold as he directly unleashed a toxic ray toward the man's aircraft. Soon, signs of decay began to appear on the fuselage, and the man was forced to swiftly deploy his parachute.

Watching the defense forces continuously materializing around him, Chen Yi chuckled and shook his head. "Do you really think these piece-of-junk toys of yours can deal with me?"

"I know they cannot."

The God of Killing also revealed an icy expression. "However, Chen Yi, if you make a move against me now, you are destined never to find the root cause of humanity's restoration!"

"What?"

Hearing these words, Chen Yi instantly furrowed his brow. "Could it be that all of this was caused by your research institute?"

The God of Killing grew smug. "Never mind whether it was caused by our research organization or not. All you need to care about is whether you can reach a complete and unified agreement on cooperation with us!"

"I will not cooperate with you!"

Chen Yi answered with absolute finality, while simultaneously issuing a warning.

"I will only tell you this: if there is ever a next time you dare to lay a hand on those around me, the consequence will be me hacking all of you into a thousand pieces with my own hands."

A single sentence struck terror into the heart of the hitherto self-assured God of Killing. Seeing that Chen Yi was not joking, he wondered—was he really going to be bullied by a mere punk right here?

No, he was not willing to accept this!

Seeing that this man stubbornly refused to yield, Chen Yi launched another attack, flying straight toward him!

"Protect the Commander-in-Chief!"

At this moment, those sycophants also rushed swiftly toward Chen Yi, attempting to block him, but within moments, Chen Yi sliced them in half with his dual blades.

Watching his subordinates meet a violent death with his own eyes, the previously triumphant fellow finally began to realize Chen Yi's terrifying power.

It turned out that all his previous assumptions had been utterly wrong. To make a complete enemy of Chen Yi meant meeting an exceptionally miserable end.

Observing the man's reaction, Chen Yi knew he had undoubtedly been frightened into submission.

In truth, he could have employed other methods, but since this fellow had relentlessly pushed him into a corner, he had only himself to blame.

Therefore, facing the wretch before him, Chen Yi sneered once more, his gaze once again carrying a glint of murderous intent. "Tell me, how would you like to die today?"

The man did not speak, choosing instead to retreat under the cover of his followers.

"Boss, what should we do with them?"

Lu Kai looked at those lackeys, hatred burning fiercely in his chest. "Are we just going to let them go?"

"Of course not."

A cold smirk curled the corner of Chen Yi's mouth. "Kill them. Leave not a single one alive. Our enemies must never be let off the hook!"

The defense forces, who had still been harboring hopes of a miracle, realized upon hearing Chen Yi's words that all hope was lost. Roaring with rage, they charged wildly toward Chen Yi in a desperate, last-ditch struggle.

"Courting death!"

Hu Sanhan brandished his golden broadsword and cut them down in a few swift strokes, while simultaneously wielding a sniper rifle to sweep across those fellows in a barrage, wiping out a large swathe of them in an instant.

Catching sight of the fellow attempting to make his escape aboard a mysterious submarine, Hu Sanhan swiftly hurled a flying knife. Seeing it strike dead center into the target's arm, a cold sneer played across his eyes.

"Though I cannot kill you, making you suffer a bit of pain is well within reach!"

Struck by the blade, the man gritted his teeth furiously, but he knew he could not stop now, for if Chen Yi made his move, certain death awaited him. Enduring the agonizing pain, he hauled himself directly into the submarine.

Having dispatched these wretches, Chen Yi felt a lingering sense of gloom in his heart. Judging by the words spoken by that man just now, the zombie crisis was likely artificially induced, and the chaos triggered by such man-made actions could be unimaginably vast. The mere thought of it left him deeply unsettled.

Lifting a hand to support his head, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

What on earth should be done next?

"Big brother, don't worry!"

Patting Chen Yi on the shoulder, Chen Yaoxi blinked her eyes and spoke, "Even if we can't resolve these issues right away, with us around, they won't be able to lay a single finger on you!"

"That's right!"

Lu Kai slapped his own chest. "Boss, don't forget you still have brothers like us!"

Chen Yi burst into laughter, a trace of deep emotion warming his eyes.

"Everyone, thank you for your support, but some things truly strike when least expected. I am currently considering whether we should scatter and operate separately."

"It isn't strictly necessary to scatter in order to avoid danger."

Chu Yunxi offered a different perspective at that moment.

"Don't you know that Kunpeng possesses the ability of echolocation? If we simply integrate that echolocation capability into the electronic devices carried by each of us, wouldn't we be able to track those fellows like a beacon and teach them a lesson whenever we please?"

These words left Chen Yi momentarily dumbfounded. He had merely been pondering how to make those villains pay the price, completely overlooking the fact that alternative methods actually existed.

"That's right! If we do that, things become much easier to handle!"

Chu Yunxi's method proved remarkably effective. Once software capable of echolocation was developed, things would no longer require the kind of fretting that had been plaguing him. With a bright, appreciative smile, he looked at Chu Yunxi. "Darling, you really have been a tremendous help this time."

Chu Yunxi let out a light huff. "Now you finally realize how formidable I am—where were you before? Fine, I won't haggle over that with you now. Go properly attend to your own business; since I've given you the method, don't you dare tell me you can't pull it off."

Chen Yi's gaze grew resolute.

"Rest assured, I will get right on it. We certainly have plenty of talented and righteous people in our midst—if I recall correctly, there is a certified genius right here in our software division!"
