Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

"Understand what?"

Zhou Lie raised his head, the blood flames in his eyes throbbing even more violently.

His voice deepened, yet carried an eerie calm:

"I understand that humans are too weak."

Only by becoming the bizarre can we survive.

He raised his hand, pointing to the densely packed arenas around him, to the hazy dome above his head, and to the distant, faintly visible observation deck:

Do you know what this is?

This is just an ordinary amusement park in the eerie world, designed for those who seek strange entertainment.

And we must obediently complete any tasks they set, within their rules.

Su Ye frowned:

"Just because of this, you're going to become a monster?"

Zhou Lie gave Su Ye a strange look, his eyes filled with surprise, amusement, and a hint of mockery bordering on pity.

"Aren't you the same?"

He asked rhetorically.

Su Ye was taken aback.

Zhou Lie continued:

"I didn't even blame you for killing my two toys, and you're asking me this?"

Su Ye was momentarily speechless after hearing that.

Toy?

Xu Xin and Xu Jiang?

He instantly realized that Zhou Lie knew about Xu Xin and Xu Jiang's deaths, and knew that he had killed them.

But he used the word "toy".

"you……?"

Su Ye stared at him, trying to find a familiar emotion on his face.

Zhou Lie smiled, a smile that was calm and serene:

Are you asking me if I'm not angry?

Why get angry?

They're just two toys.

He raised his hand, glancing casually at the stars on his wristband:

"It seemed to be somewhat useful, letting them lead the blood food for me, and then slowly attract more prey, and then devour them."

Who knew that two people couldn't beat you alone?

Su Ye's heart was in turmoil.

He desperately tried to recall Zhou Lie from his memories—the Zhou Lie who depended on Wu Feng and Wang Kui for survival during the apocalypse, the Zhou Lie who was heartbroken after Xu Xin's death, and the Zhou Lie who was willing to risk his life to avenge Xu Xin.

Such feelings couldn't possibly be fake.

So what's in front of me...

He's no longer Zhou Lie.

Just as that big man said, his body had been taken over by something.

He suppressed the chill in his heart and kept a straight face.

No rush, let's get some information out of them first.

"Have you all recovered your strength?"

Zhou Lie nodded casually:

"Of course. As long as we transform into something strange, our strength will not be affected."

He paused, his eyes flashing with blood-red flames:

"Of course, there are also many outliers."

They didn't want to be like us, so they were just cannon fodder.

When the game begins, they will all die.

Su Ye sneered inwardly.

Outcasts? You're the outcasts, not the outcasts.

But he didn't say it aloud; he just kept asking:

"What are the rules of this arena?"

Zhou Lie turned around, facing the endless grid of squares, his back view appearing somewhat unreal in the dim light.

His voice drifted over.

There are no rules.

"Kill your opponent, and you will survive."

Otherwise, it's death.

Su Ye frowned:

"Isn't there any other way?"

What if two people in an arena don't fight and just waste time?

Zhou Lie turned around, and his smile sent a chill down Su Ye's spine.

"Would you like to give it a try?"

He didn't answer directly, but his statement itself was the answer.

Su Ye's eyes flickered.

He didn't pursue the question further, but instead changed his approach:

"What's your current strength?"

Zhou Lie looked down at his hands, his fingers clenching and then opening again, as if he were sensing something.

"Me? I'm currently at the peak of the third tier."

He raised his head, his eyes blazing with even more intense bloodlust, his tone filled with undisguised ambition:

"When this game is over, with the stars I have..."

He glanced at his wristband, then at Su Ye:

"In addition to the gains from capturing those aliens."

I can definitely reach the pinnacle of the second round of the game, level six.

Once I leave, I will be invincible.

After Zhou Lie said "unrivaled in this world", he ignored Su Ye.

He turned around, facing the observation deck, his gaze piercing through the glass curtain wall and landing on the huge transparent dome below.

Everything on the first floor was laid out before them: those still playing chess, the roaming hunters, the evil happening in the corners—all like a silent, unspoken drama.

Su Ye stood there, staring at his back for a few seconds.

Sixth rank. Unrivaled in this world.

These words echoed in his mind, but they did not stir any emotion within him.

Su Ye never believed in anything "invincible". Since the apocalypse, no one has been able to break the power of the rule-based strangeness. Even among strangenesses of the same level, humans cannot defeat them.

All those who underestimated the supernatural ended up dying in some inconspicuous corner.

Su Ye stood there silently for a few seconds, then turned and left, following his memory, walking in the direction where the burly man had disappeared.

After passing through the hall and going around a passage, Su Ye saw the three people in a corner.

The burly man was sitting on a sofa that usually seated four or five people, but now he was the only one sitting there, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

The man and woman sat on the sofas on either side of it, one wiping the dagger in his hand, and the other staring at the entrance to the passage.

Su Ye's footsteps startled them.

Upon recognizing Su Ye, the burly man raised an eyebrow but remained silent.

Su Ye stopped a few steps away, raised his hands, and indicated that he meant no harm.

"it's me."

"I have some questions to ask."

The big man stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.

He waved to his two companions, who relaxed a little, but their eyes remained fixed on Su Ye.

"ask."

The burly man spoke, his voice still deep and resonant.

Su Ye didn't beat around the bush and directly asked the question that was on his mind:

"How did you determine who was hacked and who wasn't?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the big man's eyes, then he grinned.

"That's a good question."

He straightened up and took two steps closer to Su Ye.

"It's very simple, just look at the outward appearance."

He raised his hand and pointed to the groups of two or three people standing in the distance:

"If they are invaded, because the rules here suppress the power of sequence, the corrupted power of sequence within them will unconsciously leak out, showing obvious characteristics."

for example--"

He paused, then lowered his voice:

"It doesn't look like normal sequence power at all; it's mixed with something that looks evil."

That is a characteristic of the corrupted sequence power.

These are people you can recognize at a glance.

Su Ye frowned slightly.

He recalled the blood flames in Zhou Lie's eyes.

"However, there is another situation to be aware of."

The big man paused.

"If the power of the sequence reaches the fourth level, even if it is not corrupted, it will exhibit some external characteristics because the power of the sequence is too strong."

At this point, you need to make your own judgment.

He pointed to his eyes:

"Read their eyes."

Those who have been corrupted have no sense of humanity in their eyes.

Those people could easily distinguish between the supernatural and the human, and all humans were their prey.

So if you stare at them for a long time, they will naturally reveal their weaknesses.

You'll understand this feeling after experiencing it a few more times.

Su Ye remained silent for a few seconds, processing this information.

Then he looked up and asked the second question:

"If I want to go down and hunt, who are the right people?"
