Evolution game, nothing more than that!

Everyone was like mad dogs, howling and rushing towards the people around them who had not undergone any changes.

Almost in an instant, almost all the normal people left on the ship were killed. Only the gamers relied on various skills to block this sudden attack.

"What's going on? Why is everyone going crazy all of a sudden?!"

The bearded man asked loudly to everyone around him while smashing the heads of all the mad sailors who rushed towards him one by one. You could vaguely see the skin on his fists turned golden, as if coated with a layer of gold paint.

Golden Bell Cover, this is the skill he obtained after passing the rookie trial. More accurately, it is a technique, a powerful skill that makes the body indestructible and as strong as gold and iron by running the energy of "Qi" in the body.

And he seemed to be quite talented in this area. Even though he was just a beginner, he quickly mastered the little trick of opening the Golden Bell Cover only in certain areas of the body to reduce the consumption of "Qi".

In this way, the skills that originally had very obvious characteristics became much more low-key, and with his current limited amount of "Qi", he could also fight for a longer time.

With his current abilities, even if all the sailors on this ship turned into this horrible state, he could tear them apart one by one without any hindrance.

However, although there was no problem with safety for the time being, he was confused as to why the situation suddenly became like this.

Everything was fine a few minutes ago, and then suddenly everyone went crazy and attacked all normal people.

What is going on?

Can anyone explain it to him?

Well, because of his position, he couldn't see the situation on the bridge and the side of the ship, so he didn't know that the captain and the doctor, two guys who were considered iron wolves in the eyes of all players, had been beaten away.

But he didn't know that the others on the deck did.

"Damn it! Who told that guy to do it? He didn't even discuss it with everyone!"

The girl wielded a Japanese sword, and with her sharp swordsmanship, she killed every enemy who dared to attack her cleanly and efficiently.

Not far from her, the cowboy was holding two revolvers, and every shot hit the target. Whenever he ran out of bullets, he would reload instantly with some fancy moves, like a gun god.

"He must have teamed up with someone else. The doctor was also attacked at the same time. Damn it, they didn't consider our safety at all!"

The cowboy also complained loudly, but the gun in his hand cooperated seamlessly with the gangster girl. The two of them, one long-range and the other close combat, had almost no flaws.

Not far away from them, high school students and priests were also using their respective skills to resist the attacks of the crazy sailors.

However, what no one noticed was that while they were fighting, they were unknowingly approaching the cowboy and the gangster.

The latter two seemed to think that the two men were moving closer to them in order to share the pressure, and they were not alert.

So, the moment the two sides approached a certain distance—

bass!

The priest suddenly thrust the gun sword into the cowboy's back, and the high school student pointed the sci-fi pistol in his hand at the girl's back and pulled the trigger.

However, just then!

boom! ! !

A figure wrapped in lightning fell from the sky and appeared between the four people in the nick of time. He grasped the priest's sword with one hand and blocked the high school student's gun with the other.

The sharp sword edge was stopped by the huge force, and the energy beam that was enough to penetrate several centimeters of steel plate was also defeated by the cellular force field that was almost invulnerable to all evil.

The two men who launched the sneak attack suddenly changed their expressions. One of them decisively dropped his sword, and the other raised his gun and shot at Yi Shen's face. At the same time, he quickly stepped back, immediately keeping a distance from Yi Shen.

Although the cellular force field can block the attack of the energy beam, the strong light it brings cannot be blocked. Yi Shen, dazzled by the shots in the face, missed the opportunity to keep the two people.

When he looked at the scene again, the two men had disappeared just like the captain before.

It was not until this time that the cowboy and the girl finally realized that they were almost ambushed, but were finally rescued by this player who had been very low-key before.

Chapter 49: The End of Chaos, Priory of the Holy Shield

Just after the pastor and the high school student were driven away, a shrill whistle was heard from the cabin, and then the mad sailors suddenly vomited black blood one by one, fell to the ground, and lost their voice.

"..."

"..."

The cowboy and the girl had just escaped death, and then they saw this scene. They couldn't help but feel confused and couldn't figure out the current situation.

They looked at each other, then turned to look at Yi Shen who had just saved them.

After hesitating for a moment, the cowboy said uncomfortably:

"Thank you, we owe you one."

Yi Shen came back to his senses after hearing this, shook his head and said:

"It was just a matter of convenience."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the side, and he didn't know when the figure of Assassin had appeared here.

"when?!"

The cowboy and the girl were startled when they suddenly found someone around them and almost attacked.

It was the younger sister who first recognized the figure's identity and shouted:

"It's you?! I completely forgot you existed!"

After being reminded by his companion, the cowboy finally remembered who the other party was and also showed a look of horror:

"Have you tampered with our memories?"

He thought that they would forget that the other party was the result of some kind of mental interference.

Assassin glanced at them and said lightly:

"Don't think too much about it. It's just a little trick to eliminate the sense of presence."

As she spoke, she turned her gaze towards Yi Shen:

"You missed, too?"

"There's nothing I can do. That captain has a skill that allows him to disappear instantly. Even though I was moving very quickly, I was still a step too slow."

Yi Shen shrugged, but there was not much disappointment on his face.

In fact, he had expected that the first raid would fail to achieve any results.

After all, this was a mission with so many players participating. He didn't believe that the captain, who should theoretically be the big boss, would be killed so easily by him.

The only thing that surprised him was the way the other party escaped.

He could be sure that the captain at that time was not simply invisible, but had really disappeared in the real world!

After all, no matter what kind of invisibility, the existence of the invisible object cannot be erased, and the elemental vision's observation of energy is enough to see through most of the light-distorting type of invisibility tricks.

But the captain was different. After he disappeared, Yi Shen's elemental vision did not observe anything, and even the lightning that was bombarded out at the same time did not touch any object. This was enough to show that the other party physically disappeared on the spot at that moment.

Did he escape to another dimension? Or was he teleporting?

Yi Shen is still unclear.

However, his failure can be said to be excusable, and he was even prepared for it. But on Assassin's side, looking at the way the doctor escaped, it didn't seem like he could disappear like the captain. How could he have failed as well?

Facing Yi Shen's inquiring gaze, Assassin shrugged and explained:

"That doctor actually had some kind of protective force field surrounding him. My attack bounced back the moment it touched him, and he broke through the ship and escaped. I can't fly, so there was nothing I could do."

"Wait, wait! Are you two in the same group?"

The cowboy finally reacted and realized that the two people in front of him had formed an alliance just like them.

"You're allowed to form a secret alliance, but the rest of us can't cooperate with each other?"

Assassin glanced at him and immediately retorted.

"..."

The cowboy was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to ask why you didn't say anything before attacking him, but when he thought about how he had just been rescued by Yi Shen, he didn't have the face to say it.

Of course, if he thought about it carefully, he could understand that before figuring out who the "wolf" in the game was, the other party would certainly not inform others of his actions.

Being able to rescue someone when they are attacked is already a sign of their kindness.

The girl next to her glanced at her companion who was not very good at judging the air, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

To ease the atmosphere, she changed the topic to the sailors who suddenly vomited black blood and died on the ground:

"You guys did this too?"

"No, not me."

Assassin shook his head.

"Not me either."

Yi Shen also denied it.

In fact, this was what he had been thinking about before. He had been prepared for problems with these sailors. He was not even too surprised that they suddenly went crazy and turned into mad dogs and attacked others. However, this inexplicable death was really beyond his expectations.

"I did it!"

A deep and rich voice sounded at the cabin entrance.

When everyone turned around, they saw the blood-stained chef standing at the door, holding a sharp knife that was also covered in blood.

"It's you?!"

The cowboy and the girl both had an expression of disbelief on their faces, and subconsciously took a guarded stance.

After all, when the captain and the doctor revealed that he was a "wolf" and the other crew members went crazy, they would naturally be instinctively wary of NPC crew members like the chef.

Fortunately, Yi Shen and Assassin did not do so.

They looked at each other and thought about what they had discovered before.

“Those poisons!”

The two said in unison.

"You poisoned everyone. Did these crazy sailors suddenly die because the poison in their bodies took effect?"

Yi Shen asked.

"To be more precise, activation."

The chef raised his other hand and showed everyone a small bone whistle in his hand.

"That whistle just now..."

Assassin suddenly realized, and immediately showed a curious expression:

"You can actually activate poison with sound? How does that work?"

“…This is my little trick.”

The chef shook his head without explaining.

"That's right. These kinds of things are everyone's trump cards, so we really shouldn't ask."

Assassin nodded, indicating that he had indeed been very active, and then continued to ask:

"But you have to answer another question—who are you? What is your relationship with the captain and doctor of this ship?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the chef glanced at Assassin, then at Yi Shen and the others, and realized that everyone was looking at him, so he knew that he had no choice but to answer.

Sighing, he pulled out a shield-shaped emblem with a cross and a rose from his pocket:

"I'm from the Priory of the Holy Shield. I was sent here to investigate Captain Charles, who is suspected of being a cultist and offering blood sacrifices to evil gods."

As he spoke, he looked at the many corpses on the ground and sighed again:

"It's a pity that I was still a step too slow. By the time I realized what was wrong, most of the crew had already been secretly transformed into ghouls. To prevent things from getting completely out of control, I poisoned everyone's food, intending to leave everyone at sea! But what I didn't expect was that some of you suddenly attacked the cultists, and the ghouls were activated. Then you saw what happened..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was stunned by this series of information.

It turns out that these crew members were not only mind-controlled, but also transformed into zombies?
