Chapter 189: A Special Wave

"I refuse to accept this!"

At this moment, the red-haired man gritted his teeth once more.

"What right do you have to say such things? I refuse to believe you've already found out everything. Even if you kill me, others will come after you."

"Others coming after us? So you're admitting that your actions are organized?"

As soon as Chen Yi uttered these words, the red-haired man, who had been acting so arrogant just a moment ago, was left completely dumbfounded.

Damn it, how on earth did he blurt that out in the heat of the moment?

Looking at this fool's expression, everyone shook their heads.

Everyone knew that at this point, no matter how he tried to cover it up, it was useless.

Taking a deep breath, the group cast their gazes over him once again.

"Regardless of who sent you, now that this has happened today, there is no turning back. You'd better honestly admit to your faults, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

These words laid out the stakes clearly. Had the situation not been critical, the red-haired man would never have wanted to betray his master at this time.

"Are you going to talk or not?"

Teng Snake swept his tail forward, looping it around the man's neck. His temperament had always been cold and sinister, so he wasn't as easy to talk to as Chen Yi and the others; he simply flicked his fork-like tongue in and out.

"Please don't eat me!"

The red-haired man clutched his head, shivering uncontrollably. "I'll never plot against you guys again!"

"Then obey quickly and tell us everything. That's the only way you'll have a chance of survival."

Continuing to flick his tongue, Teng Snake's eyes gleamed with a faint crimson hue.

"I'm telling you, if you don't give us a clear explanation today, none of you are going to have an easy time either."

Kunpeng pulled Chen Yi aside and whispered a reminder.

"Don't you think doing things this way is a bit too domineering?"

"It's fine."

Chen Yi merely smiled indifferently.

"I think his approach is quite good. At least it lets this bastard know how many means we have at our disposal to deal with him."

"That's true."

Kunpeng looked at the unfolding scene and realized that the situation indeed looked grim, so he stepped aside and let Teng Snake continue his work.

Teng Snake showed no weakness. After shaking his head, he flicked his tongue at the fellow again while his cold tail began to coil tightly around the man's body.

"Don't touch me!"

The man was scared to tears and pissed his pants.

"How disgusting."

Chen Yixi stuck out her tongue in disgust. "How could there be such a person? We couldn't have imagined it in a million years."

Chu Yunxi grabbed Chen Yixi's hand. "Don't be afraid. This guy's just a coward, that's why he's acting like this."

"But it really is terrifying! After all, I've never seen anyone so perverted before."

Chen Yixi stuck out her tongue again, then cast her gaze toward Chen Yi standing before her.

Chen Yi waved his hand. "If you don't want to watch, walk away, Yixi. There are plenty of people like this in society. But I don't want you to keep living a peaceful life over there; if it's too comfortable, everyone ends up like frogs in warm water."

These words instantly brought Chen Yixi to her senses. "Oh, right! I almost forgot about that. If we're really that naive, it's very easy to get killed."

The little girl's cuteness made Chu Yunxi and the others feel a warm sense of comfort.

At such a critical juncture of life and death, having a little girl like this by their side was truly a solace, and suddenly, they all wore expressions of fond amusement.

"Little girl, everything you said is right. Now that we are in a crisis, everyone needs to be extra careful. You must remember that the slightest misstep, and we will all be in deep trouble."

"I know."

Smiling once again, Chen Yixi spread her hands. "It's precisely because I understand this that I feel we should work even harder on certain things. Only by staying close to you can I become stronger."

Looking once again at the changing sky, everyone's mood grew tense once more.

Judging by the looks of it, the situation did not bode well.

The sea of blood surrounding them showed not the slightest sign of receding. Upon closer inspection, the situation remained extremely grave, and the slightest carelessness could still lead to disastrous discrepancies.

Furthermore, the negative conditions at present were continuously escalating. According to the data, the probability of human survival was only ten percent.

Under such difficult circumstances, trying to make a breakthrough again would not be easy.

"Boss!"

At this moment, Lu Kai and a few others stepped forward.

"I think we need to make a proper plan for the future. With so many zombies and whatnot around, they're definitely not easy to deal with. Should we..."

"Don't rush."

Chen Yi gave a faint smile, brimming with absolute confidence.

"It's dangerous, but it's manageable. You must remember: foresight leads to success, while lack of it leads to ruin. We always need a plan. Right now, I don't know what other organizations are up to, but as for the people we have to face, I have a fair idea of their movements."

"Good!"

Lu Kai nodded, excitement flashing in his eyes.

"As long as the boss gives the order, we'll go through fire and water."

"Such a silly notion."

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Yi spread his hands.

"How can you just say something like that? Do you know that if we followed your reasoning at a time like this, we'd definitely ruin everything?"

"Ruin everything?"

Lu Kai looked utterly bewildered.

"Why would we ruin it? Boss, is there something I haven't worked hard enough on?"

"It's not that you aren't working hard."

Chen Yi patted his shoulder with absolute firmness.

"It's just that you're a bit too simple-minded. You handling things so naively doesn't look like the Ah Kai I know at all!"

Lu Kai smiled knowingly at this.

"Since the boss is so capable, I can naturally afford to be a bit lazy. Besides, have you ever thought about it? My weakness is actually just there to set off the boss's brilliance!"

"Enough of that!"

Chen Yi waved his hand.

"I can't argue with you, let's drop it. You—try to be a bit more serious when you can. I don't even know what's going to happen next..."

"What is that thing in there?!"

Chen Yixi pointed her finger toward the sea of blood at that moment.

"Brother, look! In the churning currents, there seems to be some kind of massive creature hiding."

Hearing this, Chen Yi immediately frowned.

As he stepped closer, he indeed saw unusual fluctuations churning within those currents.

Those fluctuations looked rather creepy.

Frowning deeply, Chen Yi immediately spread his wings and flew up.

Observing from high altitude, Chen Yi was certain that some dangerous creature existed down there, but approaching so recklessly was certainly unwise.

Weighing the pros and cons, he still thought of testing the waters in his own way at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, he retrieved a crystal core energy source from his body and tossed it down.

However, the crystal core energy source was simply bounced back out, and what's more, the churning of the water grew even more violent than before.

"Yunxi, analyze the residual energy of this crystal core and tell me what the situation is. I think there's a problem!"
