Chapter 1 The Start

The moment the first gunshot rang out, it signified the full commencement of the war.

This war wouldn't last long, because Evolvers were essentially crushing ordinary people. Moreover, the EU squad had sophisticated equipment and were facing a group of survivors who were already on the verge of death and had no ability to resist.

"Quick! Quick! Quick! Squads Three and Four, flank from the left and right, and trap the enemy within our range of attack! Speed up the attack and try to resolve the battle within three minutes!" The blond captain roared, issuing combat instructions over the communicator.

Their actions were also very swift, because the gunshots would attract mutated beasts from other areas. Once a Beast King mingled among the mutated beast horde, it could cause them serious harm when they were fighting "Evolvers from other countries."

Yes, although their soldiers had just seen the survivor with their own eyes, the dirty clothes and haggard appearance of the survivor made them feel a little strange, but they didn't think in other directions.

This city had been occupied by the beast tide for a long time, and the EU squad didn't think these people were real survivors. After Lu Chi killed two of their companions, they pre-emptively assumed that these survivors were disguised as "Evolvers from other countries" in order to make them relax their vigilance.

In fact, the true identity of these survivors was no longer important, because the EU squad's style of doing things had always been to "defeat the opponent first, and then conduct inquiries." Whether they were enemies or strangers, they had to first determine that the other party had no ability to resist before interrogating them.

But there wasn't an accurate standard for this "no ability to resist" boundary.

Having the other party raise their hands in surrender counted as having no ability to resist.

Directly killing the opponent until blood flowed like a river also counted as making the other party lose the ability to resist.

The EU's style had always been to disregard other countries, and after Lu Chi killed two of their companions, this EU squad was even more inclined towards the second option.

Thump, thump, thump!

The sound of messy, specially-made military boots stepping on the ground rang out, and the EU Evolvers were once again divided into four squads to surround the area within the thermal sensor.

Lu Chi lurked in that half-collapsed building, observing the movements outside through the cracks in the wall.

"1." He slowly uttered a number from his mouth, remained silent for a few seconds, and then uttered another number: "1."

Buzz!

Bang, bang, bang!

The ear-piercing gunshots rang out, and four more piles of human-shaped flames ignited in the ruins outside.

Although the new energy guns in the hands of the EU Evolvers were very powerful, they had a very obvious defect: they had a short range and needed to be reloaded after each shot. After shooting several shots in a row, someone discovered the problem.

"These 'enemies' don't seem to be Evolvers. The clothes they're wearing aren't disguises. Their combat power is almost equal to zero. They seem to be real survivors!" An EU Evolver said on the intercom system, "We seem to have the wrong target!"

"Should we stop the killings?" The Evolver asked the captain in a deep voice.

At this time, the captain, who had not yet appeared, thought for a moment after hearing the inquiry from his subordinate, and said, "Continue the killings. We cannot determine whether there are Evolvers lurking among these survivors. Perhaps these survivors themselves were released by the enemy to confuse our vision."

"For the sake of absolute safety, leave only three alive for interrogation, and kill everyone else!"

"Move quickly, the mutated beasts will be attracted soon!"

After hearing the captain's instructions, the Evolvers no longer hesitated and began to frantically hunt down the survivors.

Each time the steel knife was swung down, blood splattered.

"8." Lu Chi remained motionless, lurking in the building, observing the situation outside, and said again, "19!"

The numbers Lu Chi whispered in his mouth, the former was the number of EU Evolver squad members who had been exposed within his sight and could be completely controlled by him, and the latter was the number of survivors who had died.

This was a very terrifying figure.

In less than five seconds after the Evolver squad took action, nearly half of the forty-odd survivors had died.

If this EU Evolver squad still hadn't fully appeared or entered Lu Chi's attack range before all these survivors died, then Lu Chi would ultimately not choose to take action.

Because facing eighteen Evolvers with advanced technology at the same time, if there was even a slight deviation in the attack mode Lu Chi had formulated and he was hit by an energy bullet, even he would probably not be able to escape this Hai City ruin.

Lu Chi's entire plan not only required sacrifice, but also required calmness, an almost ruthless calmness.

He had to hide here, maintaining a stone-like stillness before the other party had fully entered his ambush circle, coldly watching those survivors being killed, blood splattering, and falling to the ground with screams.

He couldn't be swayed by emotions, he couldn't be influenced by the outside world.

He alone was involved in the fate of everyone.

The massacre outside continued, the survivors began to run frantically, and the EU Evolvers began to gradually shrink the encirclement inward after clearing the outermost survivors.

In the thermal sensor, the light spots of the survivors began to move quickly.

Pfft!

One cut.

A survivor was cut in half at the waist and fell to the ground.

The EU Evolver waved the steel knife in his hand and chased after the next Evolver expressionlessly.

This was a massacre without any suspense.

But perhaps even the captain of this team didn't realize that as their encirclement narrowed, although these survivors seemed to be fleeing in all directions, in reality, the routes the survivors were fleeing along all pointed in one direction.

The "attack area" that Lu Chi had designated!

One survivor after another fell, and the EU Evolvers gradually became completely exposed within Lu Chi's sight.

If you could overlook this ruin from the sky, you could see that the survivors were using their own corpses to pave a road that guided the EU Evolvers to their deaths.

"16." Lu Chi said softly, squinting his eyes and staring outside, his voice a little low: "31."

The EU Evolver squad had all appeared in Lu Chi's sight, and there were only less than 15 survivors left.

The shadow of death and the ferocious corpses, blood, were nakedly laid out in front of these survivors, enough to make people's psychological defenses collapse.

But these survivors, who seemed the weakest and most vulnerable, now seemed to possess the most steadfast hearts. From beginning to end, none of them deviated from the "guidance route" formulated by Lu Chi, hid in other ruins, or begged the EU Evolvers for mercy, telling them the truth. They followed the route formulated by Lu Chi and faced death calmly.

In the end, the female doctor who was the first to come out with Lu Chi also fell under the knife of the EU Evolver.

She was covered in blood and fell heavily.

Her gaze stared into the distance, as if to pierce through space and land on the child who was waiting for her to return.

She seemed to want to say something, but in the end, she didn't say a word, her eyes lost their radiance, and she died.

And with her death, the blond captain of the EU squad finally stepped into Lu Chi's "attack range"!

"18!" Lu Chi's eyes burst out with a sharp and brilliant light. He held a dagger in his hand and crisscrossed it across his chest, cutting out a ferocious wound. Blood gushed out, and the "Berserk" Divine Descent effect was activated. His attack power and speed instantly increased by one-third!

Boom!

In the ruins, a half-collapsed building suddenly erupted with a shocking roar.

"Kill!"

Two steel knives flew out like missiles, breaking through the plastic steel glass windows, directly piercing through the protective suits and penetrating the chests of two Evolver soldiers in front. The huge force directly impacted their bodies, dragging their entire bodies backward by three meters and nailing them firmly to the wall behind!
