Chapter 6: Madness Strikes with Malicious Intrigue
The sudden occurrence of the cataclysm has had a great impact on human civilization and social form, and countless terrifying demons have suddenly descended to all corners of the earth through dimensional cracks, and at the very beginning of the cataclysm, it has taken mankind by surprise, so that countless cities have fallen into the hands of a large number of low-level demons, and at the same time, countless lives have died at the hands of cruel low-level demons.
But this situation is only temporary after all, when the human race began to gain a foothold and quickly adapt to the sudden upheaval, the various weapons that the human race once developed to deal with their own race began to show their crazy and dangerous fangs to the demon race.
At the same time, a mysterious organization called [Agency] quietly appeared in the eyes of the people, gathered a large number of people with the ability to awaken the power of the mind, and while joining forces with the army to establish a large number of temporary shelters, as well as several super-large settlements in the future, while broadcasting the information of low-level demons, various matters that need to be paid attention to when surviving, and the location of settlements and shelters, broadcast by radio, this strategy not only saved most people's lives in disguise, but also won the favor and closeness of countless people.
One of the most critical survival rules for the organization's broadcast is: unless you or your team is very strong, don't take chances and move in dangerous areas at night.
The night in the danger area, for people who have experienced a cataclysm, is definitely synonymous with death and fear, not that the demon clan will be greatly strengthened when bathed in the moonlight, or become violent or something, in fact, the main reason is that the night will not only limit people's vision, but also make people unable to foresee the danger as during the day, and make corresponding countermeasures in advance, and the dark and dead environment at night will be like a chronic poison, eroding people's hearts and spirits.
[No matter how unreliable it is, as the leader of the squad, Fang Fang should have taken these into account before deciding to find a place to settle down and rest temporarily......] When you meet Fang Ke, who is not bound by the gravity and common sense of the earth in terms of thinking, Zhao Fei can only comfort himself in this way. But this self-consolation was obviously not convincing, for the creature was still boasting to him about his glorious deeds with the murderer in the middle of the night......
After listening silently to the side for a while, the murderer, who was not interested in this topic and never spoke according to the atmosphere, stood up and said indifferently: "Give it to me in the first half of the night, and hand it over to the second cargo captain in the second half of the night, you have to hurry up and rest." β
"Especially you, newcomer, you're too weak...... We can't take care of you after that, and if you drag your feet, no one will be able to save you. With that, the killer disappeared into the room using his spatial abilities.
There was no prejudice or targeting in his words, and the murderer explained the facts in a flat tone, but even if he was just explaining the facts, it was enough to add blockage to Zhao Fei's heart and cause him unhappiness.
Seeing that Zhao Fei was silent, Fang Ye could only pat him on the shoulder and say, "I'm sorry, that dead face paralysis is like this, never looking at the atmosphere, and never taking into account the mood of others." β
Waving his hand to indicate that he was fine, Zhao Fei smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I don't care, and he is right, my current strength is indeed a drag on you ......"
Although this is due to the character of a murderer, but being bluntly said to his face that his strength is not good or even a burden, anyone's self-esteem will be hurt, although Zhao Fei is not a narrow-minded person, he will not hold a grudge against a murderer, but a low mood is indispensable.
"That's good...... Aha~Aha~" Seeing that Zhao Fei was not angry about this, Fang Fang also smirked for a while, and then suddenly put away his smile, stared at the former with a serious face, and said: "Our blood battle team will not abandon anyone, nor can we sit idly by and ignore those who are in trouble, even if they say those words, they will inevitably rush up to help without hesitation when others are in danger......"
"Maybe this kind of behavior will make people feel very stupid, and even think that we are nosy......"
"Maybe others will think that we are too virgin, or too hypocritical......"
"It's just that when we are too weak, we may not be able to help others, but when we have strength, why should we be stingy with our own strength?"
Under the light of the flashlight, Fang Fang, who completely restrained the smirk and funny temperament on his face, said to Zhao Fei with such a serious expression for the first time: "Maybe we can't save everyone, but at least as far as we can see, we will not hesitate our strength to lend a helping hand to others!" β
Sincerity, uprightness, and perseverance, these things contained in the words and eyes, these are enough for Zhao Fei to understand that Fang Fang's words are not words of comfort to reassure him, but what he has been doing all along, just like they are helping themselves in trouble.
Well, if it weren't for Fang Ke's relationship, Zhao Fei would not have fallen into the predicament of being besieged.
Considering the vigil and the next day, the two did not talk for too long, and went back to bed to rest.

In the middle of the night, the city, which has long lost its prosperity and vitality, looks like a huge cemetery, and the tireless monsters are still roaming the streets and alleys, and the piercing howls that sound from time to time add a sense of horror to this long-dead city.
The night in the danger zone is enough to terrify ordinary people from the senses alone, and the darkness seems to have no effect on the lower demons at all, and they will always repeat their actions - wandering aimlessly around the city without discovering humans.
Even if someone with the ability to find the truth kept vigil, Zhao Fei couldn't sleep peacefully.
For some reason, since nightfall, Zhao Fei felt restless, and the restlessness in his heart even made him unable to calm down and fall asleep, and now, this feeling has reached its peak.
This is a vague perception of danger, or any creature will more or less have this kind of danger prediction trait, but Zhao Fei, who has obtained the power of mental imagery and has stronger mental power than ordinary people, can feel the hints brought to him by premonition more clearly.
Something is looming over itself.
The hints brought to him by the premonition are limited to this, as for what the specific crisis is and how to avoid it, Zhao Fei is at a loss, completely confused.
[I can't sleep anyway, so just get up and go to the balcony to breathe......]
Not to mention Zhao Fei, who was haunted by his own premonition of crisis, the murderer in charge of the vigil on the other side seemed to have discovered some clues.
Unlike Zhao Fei's inexplicable premonition of crisis, the murderer did indeed find something wrong.
A group of about twenty low-level demons, under the cover of night, are quietly moving in the direction of a certain residential area, under the order of a certain consciousness, they disguise themselves as low-level demons wandering around, and advance towards the destination little by little, but this disguise is too clumsy, more than twenty low-level demons are huddled together, even if there is night as a cover, but it still attracts the attention of the murderer.
By the moonlight, the murderer standing on the balcony blowing the cold wind alone, looked down at the group of low-level demons roaming the streets, silently pulled out the dagger he carried with him, and kicked the small stone at his feet at the sneaky low-level demons.
Just like water droplets falling into a hot oil pot, the low-level demons who had been carefully hiding their whereabouts simply tore off their disguises after discovering that their whereabouts were exposed, and the twenty or so low-level demons accelerated violently, quickly passing through the streets full of vehicles, and rushing towards the residential area where the murderer was.
The dagger engraved with mysterious lines, under the illumination of the moonlight, began to gradually flicker with pure white light, after activating the magic runes on the dagger, the pure white light almost in the blink of an eye, covered the dagger itself, and transformed into the form of the 'Radiant Blade' that Zhao Fei had seen during the day.
Looking at the low-level demons who gave up their disguises and approached quickly, the killer snorted coldly at Zhao Fei, who had just run to the balcony to breathe, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Newcomer, hurry up and wake up the second cargo captain, I'll go to meet it first! With that, he jumped off the balcony.
Different from ordinary residential buildings, although Zhao Fei and the others live on the third floor, the second floor is a huge platform that connects the three residential buildings, with the physical fitness of low-level demons, they can easily jump to the big platform on the second floor, if they are allowed to attack the windows and balconies of the utility room from the platform as a pedal, waiting for Zhao Fei and his party, it is natural that the retreat is blocked, and they can't even escape!
"Huh?! Oh! Good! Although he didn't understand the ins and outs, Zhao Fei still carried out the murderer's order very well - he turned around and ran back to the bedroom, kicking the sleeping Fang off the bed.
By the time Zhao Fei and Fang Ke rushed back to the balcony, the fastest low-level demons had already stood on the roof of the car and jumped onto the platform, and the battle between the murderer and the low-level demon was about to break out, the spatial ability was quietly activated, and the light blade in the murderer's hand flickered, cutting through several arcs in the night, and it was easy to cut off the heads of the first few demons.
It's just that it's not just these demons who are responsible for the attack!
When more low-level demons jumped onto the platform on the second floor together, even the killers with spatial abilities couldn't kill them all at once.
The killer only had time to stop the four demons who rushed up, and the remaining low-level demons had already taken advantage of the moment when the killer was being dragged back, jumped onto the large platform on the second floor, and divided into two teams, one team continued to delay the killer, and the other team rushed towards the balcony on the third floor without hesitation.
βTimealterγβ
There was still an echo of the unknown chant when the ability could be activated, and in the next second, the heads of the three unlucky low-level demons on the platform on the second floor were scooped open by the murder weapon of the unknown body, and their bodies fell straight to the ground according to the inertia!
