Chapter 1918: Chapter 1918
"Old... Old Ren..." The soldier called Little Wu by Ren Xingtang looked somewhat hesitant, but Ren Xingtang paid no attention to it and said to the other soldier next to him, "Give him the knife!"
The soldier was silent for a moment, then finally lowered his head, unclasped the zombie-slaying knife from his waist, and solemnly handed it over to Little Wu with both hands.
"I..." Taking the knife, Little Wu’s eyes turned red at once. Ren Xingtang usually treated him well, and he was someone who valued loyalty. Suddenly being asked to act against Ren Xingtang, he felt extremely unwilling in his heart.
"Do it! This is an order!"
"Hurry up!" Ren Xingtang suddenly turned his head, looking seriously at Little Wu, who was holding the knife in bewilderment. Soon, he winked at him twice with a solemn expression, which made Little Wu startle, but he quickly realized that after spending so much time together, he almost forgot that this guy was Level 7 New Human!
And at the Level 7 stage, New Humans have the ability of limb regeneration, though the pain is something they have to endure.
"Alright!" Receiving the cue, Little Wu quickly nodded, no longer hesitating, took a deep breath, raised the zombie-slaying knife high, and then slashed down with force!
The next second, one of Ren Xingtang’s arms flew off, with blood dripping from the severed end, everyone dumbfoundedly staring at him. Ryle also displayed great surprise, as from what he knew of humans, these creatures were very resistant to something called pain.
Everything Ren Xingtang said was true, and Ryle could testify to that. He saw that this man called Ren Xingtang didn’t know exactly who among the people present had been replaced by his followers, so he incited him to prove everything. He initially thought this guy would back down for fear of pain, but his ruthlessness exceeded the boundaries Ryle had drawn in his mind.
He greatly admired such people, but those he admired often met bad ends. Just like now, he became increasingly interested in Ren Xingtang, just as he was interested in Tang Ye; he also wanted to see the other person kneel down and beg for mercy! Follow current novᴇls on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
This is truly amusing.
And a fun game is one that players often play for a long time, unwilling to quit.
So why would he want to withdraw early?
With that slash, the soldier called Little Wu used all his strength. Of course, this was also to make Ren Xingtang suffer a little less pain. However, even so, the pain from the severed limb caused this iron-blooded tough guy’s forehead to bead with cold sweat; his severed arm trembled slightly, yet the hand holding Dou’s Flying Cloud Cannon remained firmly pressed, not loosening a bit!
Similarly, he didn’t let his gaze fall on his severed arm even for a second, keeping an eye on everyone in front, fearing that if he wasn’t paying attention, they would rush forward and seize it.
Everyone present didn’t know what to say, just watching Ren Xingtang, recalling his actions just now, marveling at his madness!
Soon, Ren Xingtang’s severed arm stopped bleeding, the flesh around the cut slowly squirmed, gradually recovering, during the self-healing process, a tingling sensation from above becoming irresistible to the point of wanting to reach out to scratch it, but fortunately, Ren Xingtang held it in.
Looking at the current self-healing speed, it would likely take only three or four days for his severed arm to fully heal.
"Alright... I’ve set an example first, you all saw clearly! I haven’t been replaced by a zombie, I, Ren Xingtang, am still the same Ren Xingtang, I always have been, next, it’s your turn!"
The atmosphere became awkward once more. Ryle, seeing this scene, nodded his head. Indeed, while Ren Xingtang dared to cut off his own arm under the pain of severed limb, not everyone would do the same. However, this time he was going to be disappointed again; among those in the conference room, there were some truly ruthless like Ren Xingtang himself, so just as Ren Xingtang’s words fell, a few people drew their knives without a word and slashed at their own arms on the spot!
They then endured the severe pain to show the severed limb to everyone, with a self-healing speed almost on par with Ren Xingtang, proving that they hadn’t been replaced by zombies. Since someone had already set such an example, more hesitant people began to borrow knives from others, thinking since limbs could regenerate anyway, gritting their teeth and cutting off their own arms, proving their identities to others.
As time passed, more and more people proved they weren’t zombies, leaving even the last few hesitant to endure the pain of limb severance fearing they’d be misunderstood if they didn’t cut, so after weighing the pros and cons between Ryle and Ren Xingtang, finally summoned the courage to cut off their own arms!
Before long, those who had cut off their arms all chose to stand on Ren Xingtang’s side, leaving the last six people, who expressionlessly watched from Ryle’s side unmoved. However, by now, they didn’t need to prove anything either; among those in the conference room, these six people were the ones replaced by zombies!
Among these six, included the military-uniformed man who was the first to agree to the anti-human organization entering the Mengjiao base, and the remaining five were those who likewise agreed one after another following the man!
Clearly, these were the insiders Ryle arranged!
"Old Peng... you’re no longer Old Peng!"
"Huaiwen you... sigh..."
Seeing the remaining six people, their acquaintances couldn’t help showing complex expressions. If not for Ren Xingtang, they might never know that the brother who was chatting and laughing with them just yesterday was no longer himself.
Only Ren Xingtang remained calm, he had foreseen this long ago, so whatever the outcome, he wouldn’t be surprised; he simply and quietly watched Ryle, since now they had already torn the pretense, the following reaction from the other side should be within expectations, right?
But surprisingly, contrary to expectations, Ryle didn’t become infuriated with embarrassment as people imagined. He just waved his hand, sighed, and then stopped pretending.
"That’s right, they have indeed turned into zombies, but..." As he spoke, the smile on Ryle’s face grew radiant, that smile would give people chills!
"You don’t even have a Level 8 New Human, how can you fight me? Ren Xingtang, right? You don’t think with just that broken toy in your hand? Hahahaha~" Faced with Ryle’s mocking, Ren Xingtang’s expression remained unchanged, responding firmly, "Since I dared to come, I have naturally made sufficient preparations to deal with you!"
When Ren Xingtang spoke these words, he was very confident, even Ryle couldn’t quite figure it out.
"Hehehe, what preparations? Have you clearly seen that these six people are all Level 8 zombies, not to mention me yet, aren’t you afraid at all? As for your confidence... could it be because you’ve invited Su Sigui from Cloud Gorge Base?"
