The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Like most men, Ye Xiao has absolutely no resistance to weapons.

As a child, Ye Xiao could only play with toy guns. He thought he would never have the chance to touch a gun in his life if he didn't join the army. But when he came here, he not only used pistols and submachine guns, but now he is also playing with a Gatling gun.

I have to say, the feeling of suppressing firepower was absolutely exhilarating!

The tremors from the recoil of his subordinates made him feel unusually excited, as if his blood was boiling and every violent factor within him was activated.

The surge of adrenaline from this pleasurable sensation left Ye Xiao feeling no fear or apprehension whatsoever, only indescribable excitement and pleasure.

Not only him, but also the viewers in the live broadcast room were all infected.

[Physics Holy Sword: Wow, that feels so good! I want to play too!]

[Bulbasaur: Are you done playing? It's my turn!]

[The Heart of Isaac: Oh no, I suddenly feel like going!]

[Sanhu: I've never touched a gun in my life, it feels so cool, a man's dream!]

[My heart was captured by you: Holy crap, Gatling gun and Barrett, that's awesome!]

[Han Jiangxue: Damn it, he got his pleasure!]

……

Having just finished the battle, Ye Xiao's hand was still a little numb as he pulled his hand back from the machine gun grip. He was still savoring the feeling when Ye Xing's sudden action caught his attention.

Just as Han Yu and the others were about to speak, they followed Ye Xiao's gaze and caught up with Ye Xing's figure.

She moved with incredible speed, instantly leaping to the side of the level-three mutant's corpse. Her jet-black right hand reached directly into the mangled, wide-open chest, and from the filthy black blood, pulled out a red seed core much larger than her palm.

This core is different from the previous ones; it has completely fused with the heart and is wrapped in a black, viscous substance resembling blood vessels.

Ye Xing's dark hand gripped the strange seed core. No longer obscured by her dirty hair, her somewhat dirty and bewildered face was revealed. Her eyes were now shining as she stared intently at the object in her hand, drooling with desire.

Ye Xing suddenly opened his mouth wide, as if he was about to bite into the seed kernel in his hand.

Upon seeing this, Ye Xiao exclaimed in surprise, shouting:

"Ye Xing, wait, you can't eat this!"

Ye Xing, who had just opened his mouth, froze, staring blankly at Ye Xiao who was rushing towards him.

Ye Xiao ran up to Ye Xing in a few steps, reached out and put the seed core into his inventory, and then gave Ye Xing a serious lecture.

"We don't even know if there's anything wrong with this stuff. How can you just put anything in your mouth? Who knows if it will make you sick or cause a mutation? Don't eat random things next time, you hear me?"

The disheveled, bald girl in front of him nodded with a slightly aggrieved look and shrank back.

Ye Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare for Ye Xing to be so obedient, especially since he was an evolved form recorded in the experimental data.

Although the experimental data mentions that evolved organisms can absorb the power of the seed nucleus to further evolve, there is also a great risk of mutation.

Ye Xing's obedient and well-behaved nature is a rare and unexpected gain. He will become a powerful force by his side in the future, and he can't afford to lose him because of his careless eating habits.

Footsteps slowly approached, and Lan Ling returned carrying a sniper rifle.

She raised her hand and gave Ye Xiao a high five, a smile playing on her lips. "Great teamwork!"

Then, Lan Ling looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "This thing should be of great research value. Should we take the corpse back?"

Ye Xiao knew what Lan Ling meant; she wanted him to summon experts for research.

Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment. Putting aside whether the conditions were right for the time being, there was only one spot available for targeted teleportation, and even one expert might not be able to figure anything out.

However, he did obtain a lot of research materials from the "divine messenger," which might come in handy.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it'll be easy to take back. Let's leave it here for now! Let's deal with those people first!"

As Ye Xiao finished speaking, Lan Ling looked coldly at the crowd that was gathering in this direction in a daze.

"Dead? The demon is dead?"

"They killed the demon!"

Zhu Hongchang and his group showed no fear whatsoever as they walked up to Ye Xiao and his companions.

A hint of confusion crossed Zhu Hongchang's eyes. "You're still alive? What about the divine messenger?"

A divine messenger? Ha!

Ye Xiao was about to say that someone was dead, but when his gaze fell on the shocked crowd that had gathered around him, he suddenly swallowed the words that were about to come out.

He had a premonition that if the divine messenger died at his hands, it would likely cause considerable turmoil.

Ye Xiao's eyes darted around, and he said, "Your divine messenger, having suppressed the demon for a long time, has returned to the embrace of God. He entrusted me with the power he bestowed upon you to kill the demon and lead you to a safe place."

[Sanhu: 6, my brother Xiao is talking nonsense again!]

[Liangliang is me: My brother Xiao is lying again!]

……

"Divine messenger, thank you for your salvation!"

Those around them knelt down devoutly and sorrowfully, prostrating themselves on the ground, covering their faces with their hands, and praying loudly.

They all praised the sacrifice of the divine messenger. Zhu Hongchang's face twisted for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and knelt down to worship Ye Xiao like the others.

"We beseech a new divine messenger to lead us away from suffering and the pursuit of demons, and to guide us!"

As Zhu Hongchang shouted, the surrounding crowd also began to kneel down and shout in unison:

"We beg for a new divine messenger to guide us!"

[Liangliang is me: 6]

[Setting Sun and Cold Snow: 6]

[Pharaoh Elden: 6, My brother Xiao has become a divine messenger!]

……

Chen Ge, Zhou Hu, and the others were completely baffled and stood there dumbfounded. Lan Ling frowned, unsure of what to say.

Ye Xiao stood silently in place, looking at the men and women, the old and the young, and at these people who should have seemed rational, now bowing down to him as if possessed. He felt both amused and pathetic.

Ye Xiao didn't know what to say. Just a moment ago he was a sacrificial offering, and now he had become the new divine messenger!

As expected, my premonition that I didn't directly say that I killed the divine messenger was correct!

Otherwise, they wouldn't be bowing down to him now, but would be attacking him.

However, Ye Xiao glanced at Zhu Hongchang. This guy should have already guessed what was going on, but why did he put him in the position of the new divine envoy?

Ye Xiao frowned, then shamelessly began to play the role of a divine messenger, and said:

"Alright, the demon has been defeated. Go and rest. It's getting dark soon. Head to the base tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

After everyone knelt and bowed, they stood up. The adults led the children to a corner, while some went to clean up the bodies of their dead companions.

Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Hongchang, who was about to leave, and called out:

"Zhu Hongchang, you stay!"

The middle-aged man paused, turned around calmly, and bowed his head in response, "Please give your orders, Divine Envoy!"

Ye Xiao finally understood one thing completely: why he had been "deceived" by these guys.

Because they weren't deceived; these people genuinely wanted their cars repaired, and the entire transaction was real.

The only difference is that they need to be asymptomatic as a sacrifice to the "messenger of the gods".

But for these people whose consciousness and perception are distorted, this is not doing a bad thing. Offering themselves as sacrifices to God, giving God power, and suppressing the devil, they believe it is an honor, an extremely honorable thing.

They were completely at ease because they didn't feel they were doing anything wrong, or even doing it openly and honestly. They had no ulterior motives whatsoever, so they were calm and composed, and therefore Ye Xiao and the others couldn't sense any malice from them.

But this cognitive distortion brings about the most chilling and imperceptible danger.
