Chapter 183: Absolute Impact

The arrival of the Cat King left everyone in Organization X utterly stunned. Chen Yi and his team seemed to have miracles unfolding at every turn, causing their hearts to skip a beat this time as well. The fighter jets, initially ready to strike at any moment, halted midair.

At this moment, Lu Kai and the others dared not act rashly. After all, Chen Yi had made it clear: if the enemy did not initiate an attack, it would be improper to strike first. So, they watched cautiously.

Meanwhile, the Cat King had nearly wiped out the horde of infected rats but noticed something troubling. These rats, infected with the zombie virus, still retained reproductive capabilities. Each time one died, new rats would emerge, inheriting their powers and evolving new abilities.

This revelation shook the Cat King, who had previously believed his strength was enough to handle everything. Now, he felt himself faltering, even fearing he might be killed.

“What are you hesitating for?” The Zombie Monkey, growing arrogant, taunted. He had always believed the Cat King was all show. But upon seeing the Cat King’s grim expression, he snarled, “What? Are you mocking me now? Don’t think you can win—I won’t show mercy.”

“Whatever,” the Zombie Monkey replied, cracking his joints and sharpening his gaze. “I’m going to make a move.”

With a furious roar, he surged forward and swiftly clawed through a line of zombies, killing them all instantly.

The Cat King was stunned. Even with his abilities, he had never expected such a move. The Zombie Monkey’s explosive power was truly astonishing.

Ignoring the Cat King’s reaction, the Zombie Monkey dashed forward relentlessly.

Chen Yi watched this scene with a hint of surprise. Previously, he had thought the zombie monkey king might not be up to the task, but now it seemed the monkey was handling things far better than any human could.

“Wow, this monkey is incredible,” Chen Yaxi said excitedly. “Brother Monkey, you really are a top dog.”

Encouraged by Yaxi’s praise, the Zombie Monkey fought even harder. After all, he was king of the monkeys and refused to lose to the fat cat before him.

Just as everyone prepared for the next battle, the massive Disaster Curse Wheel appeared once again before them all. Yet this time, no matter how many sacrifices Chen Yi and the others threw in, they could not change the rewards dispensed by the wheel. Chen Yi’s heart sank—could this mean the sacrifices required would be even greater?

“Boss!” Lu Kai hurried over, his eyes filled with unease. “This might be bad.”

“I know,” Chen Yi frowned deeply. “I’ve never seen anything like this. Looks like this is going to be much more difficult.”

Suddenly, someone shoved Chen Yi, trying to push him beneath the Disaster Curse Wheel.

Reacting swiftly, Chen Yi spread his wings to avoid the wheel’s light, then slashed off the attacker’s head.

His gaze turned icy as he saw a badge fall from the body. Despite all precautions, they had still been betrayed—the enemy had already infiltrated their ranks.

“Are you alright, Boss?”

“A Yi!”

Lu Kai, Chu Yunxi, and the others tensed up, realizing just how grave the situation had been. If Chen Yi hadn’t acted quickly, the consequences would have been disastrous. It was clear the attacker intended to kill Chen Yi in this accident.

But who could be so vile as to secretly plant agents within their team?

Scanning everyone swiftly, Chen Yi clenched his fists. Someone was determined to turn their good fortune into a nightmare.

The group exchanged wary glances, unsure who was orchestrating this treachery. Meanwhile, the fallen assailant’s body began to mutate, absorbing the toxic dampness from the ground and rejoining its severed head.

None of Chen Yi’s team had ever witnessed such a mutation. It seemed the enemy had calculated perfectly: Chen Yi would kill this creature first, only for it to gain a second evolutionary power.

Sure enough, as the being possessed this body, the power of the Disaster Curse Wheel miraculously infused into it.

“This is bad,” Lu Kai frowned. “No matter how much power we sacrifice, it doesn’t help—it all goes into this guy. Is there really no way for us...?”

At that moment, a voice echoed from the sky.

“The third round of the human extinction mission begins now. The rule for this round: those who can survive for one month under the onslaught of apocalypse zombies pass. Continue to challenge survival. Failure results in immediate elimination.”

Chen Yi stared at the disappearing wheel in the sky, frowning deeply.

This was a new kind of game, seemingly predetermined by fate, though he could not be sure yet.

But one thing was clear: many more would die.

The Cat King had intended to survive through Chen Yi, but upon hearing the new rules, he began to struggle.

Sensing the Cat King’s intention to seize control of his body, Chen Yi acted preemptively, grabbing his throat.

The Cat King was shocked.

“Master, what are you doing?”

“Still calling me master?” Chen Yi’s eyes turned cold.

“You clearly planned to ambush us. What else were you thinking?”

“No, I swear I wouldn’t dare.”

The Cat King trembled, finally realizing Chen Yi’s terrifying insight. If he continued to cause trouble, he might lose his life entirely. So he shook his head vigorously.

“Master, please give me one more chance. I promise I won’t do this again.”

Watching his desperate plea, Chen Yi threw him to the ground and severed the tail that allowed him to possess human bodies.

The pain of losing his tail made the Cat King roar in fury, lashing out at Chen Yi. But when he met Chen Yi’s icy gaze, he immediately submitted, lying still and defiant no longer.

To resist Chen Yi now would be suicidal.

“I know the rules now,” Chen Yi said. “In this round, survival belongs to the strong. Those who truly follow me, I welcome. Those who don’t can get lost—especially you, Cat King.”

Chen Yi’s blade pressed against the Cat King’s chin, making the latter shiver in fear.

“We made a pact—you can’t…”

“A pact means nothing,” Chen Yi’s eyes gleamed with murderous intent. “I can break it whenever I want. Whether I do or not depends on your own fate.”
