The Counterattack of the Villains

When the other five newcomers heard her words, they all frowned, and the three young people looked at her with even more disdain.

Stupid, senior people are so strong, they are all strengthened by rewards. Turning in half means that their strength will be reduced by half.

In this way, you will never be able to catch up with other senior players and will always be at the bottom of the team.

As the saying goes, it’s better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Since you can’t catch up with the veterans anyway, why not form another team and use the complete benefits to strengthen yourself?

Li Mu and the others didn't know what the three young people were thinking, but they didn't care.

On the contrary, I was very interested in this girl who was so calm and almost weird from beginning to end.

What's more important is that the other five newcomers just now were unable to withstand Sadako's mental impact. They were slightly injured and had nosebleeds.

But just now she just frowned and didn't react anymore, acting even stronger than Overlord and the others.

Li Mu smiled and extended his right hand to the girl and said: "My name is Li Mu, I am the temporary captain of this team. My real profession is a mercenary. You are welcome to join the team."

Although he humbles himself as the temporary captain, all the team members already regard him as the real captain.

Apart from him and Zhang Qin, there is no one in this team who can convince others.

The girl looked at Li Mu's hand and did not hold it. She just pinched Li Mu's fingers and shook them up and down, which was considered a handshake.

"Zhao Yingkong, killer."

After hearing the girl's words, everyone subconsciously looked at Ling Dian, but saw that his eyes had just moved away from Zhao Yingkong.

Ling Dian looked at everyone and said calmly: "What are you looking at me doing? There are so many killers in the world, we can't all know each other, and she and I probably don't have the same style."

Zhao Yingkong glanced at Lingdian in surprise. Naturally, she could understand what he said.

The other party is also a killer, but the firearm in his hand, although more sci-fi, is obviously a sniper rifle, which is indeed not the same style as hers.

If we want to use the most accurate term, her profession should actually be called an assassin, not a killer in the ordinary sense.

Assassin is both a profession and a system, with its own skill inheritance and even beliefs unique to this system.

And any character who accepts money to kill people for others can be called a killer, even if this person is usually just a butcher.

Li Mu smiled at Zhao Yingkong and said: "Looking at your condition, you should be inclined towards melee assassination, right? What weapons are you good at using?"

Zhao Yingkong nodded silently and said in a cold voice: "Dagger, steel wire, iron claw, and sword."

Li Mudao: "Except for daggers, we don't have anything else for the time being. Let's wait until we return to the main god space to find a suitable one? Can you use a gun?"

Zhao Yingkong looked at the particle gun in the hands of Li Xiaoyi and others, with a look of longing in his eyes, and said: "I know how to use it, but I don't use it often."

Li Mu saw her gaze and said helplessly: "Don't even think about those energy weapons. There are only a few of them. There is nothing extra. You can only use ordinary firearms for the time being."

After saying that, he took out an MP5, a tactical vest, several spare magazines, a pistol, and a dagger from the Qiankun bag.

"Although the gun is an ordinary gun, the bullets are spiritual rune bullets, which have the power to destroy evil and can cause damage to spiritual bodies."

Although Zhao Yingkong was a little disappointed, he didn't say much and took the things one by one and equipped them.

At this moment, there was movement on Zheng Zha's side. Li Mu, Zhang Qin, Zhan Lan, and Zhao Yingkong all sensed a powerful aura coming from behind.

They turned back to look at Zheng Zha, and when others saw this, they naturally turned around and looked over.

But at this time, in the open space in front of the house, all the neon police officers had fallen to the ground, and a dozen media people had also fallen to the ground.

But at this moment, Zheng Zha's body was steaming with blood energy. He looked just like Sadako just now, except that Sadako had black energy, while he had blood energy.

The next moment, Zheng Zha was seen disintegrating into a cloud of blood mist, and then flew towards a media person.

The blood mist transformed by Peng Zhengzha passed directly through the chest of a media person without leaving any scars.

Just like the blood mist, it is just an illusion and not something that really exists.

However, whenever the blood mist passes through a person, that person's normal face will instantly turn pale, and then they will fall to the ground silently.

A smile appeared on Li Mu's face and he said: "The third level of Blood God's Dharma is completed."

In less than ten seconds, dozens of media people were all turned into corpses, and hundreds of Neon people also fell to the ground within a minute.

The blood mist flew back towards where Li Mu and others were, and re-condensed into Zheng Zha's appearance in front of Li Mu.

Zhan Lan also withdrew his mental energy, reached out and wiped a handful of sweat on his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Zhang Jie looked at the Neon policemen lying on the ground and admired Zheng Zha: "With your efficiency, if you are given a year and a half, it won't be a problem to destroy the Neon country."

Zheng Zha grinned and said with a evil smile: "It's a pity that we only have seven days. After this return, if there are enough reward points, I will redeem the time and come back to have a good time."

"It's only five times the price. One day of smoking in this world is more cost-effective than five days of meditating in the main god's space."

Li Mu punched him lightly on the chest and reminded: "You can smoke Neon Man as much as you like, but you still have to take it easy and don't lose your mind in the rapid increase in strength."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha stopped smiling and said seriously: "Don't worry about this, I won't mess around. Even if I want to mess around, it will be in this country at most."

Li Mu smiled, said nothing more, and turned to everyone: "Let's leave here first. After more than ten minutes, Neon's senior management may have noticed the situation here."

"This time the Metropolitan Police suffered a big setback. I'm afraid the Self-Defense Forces will be dispatched next time. Although we are not afraid no matter how many people come, we are afraid that the other party will directly fire a cluster of artillery fire or launch missiles."

[By the way, the best app for reading aloud and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, install the latest version. 】

After hearing this, all the senior people looked solemn and responded accordingly.

Li Mu asked Zhan Lan again: "How is your mental energy consumption? Can you still hold on?"

Zhan Lan said: "Controlling a person with a radius of one kilometer for a few minutes only consumed less than 30% of my mental power. On the contrary, Sadako's mental impact at that moment consumed a full 20%, and now I still have half left."

Li Mudao: "That's enough. You can use a mental barrier to cover us in a while and completely hide our whereabouts."

Zhan Lan nodded and said, "No problem."

Li Mu asked Chu Xuan again: "Where do you think we should go?"

Chu Xuan said: "If we don't have Zhan Lan, I would suggest going to a densely populated place. The best choice is Ginza."

"There are a sufficient number and weight of hostages there to deter the Neon government from using large-scale weapons."

"But with Zhan Lan's mental barrier, we can do the opposite and try to go to secluded and uninhabited places."

"This way we only have to deal with threats from ghosts and monsters, without having to worry about human armies."

"The worst situation for us is to be flanked by ghosts and the army and face double threats."

"So... we're going west, leaving Tokyo and going to the mountainous and forested Yamanashi area. Do we have enough food?"

Zhan Lan said: "I have three cubic meters of food with me, which is very sufficient. It is enough even for newcomers."

Chu Xuan said to Li Mu: "Then there is no problem, so be it!"

Li Mu nodded and ordered to everyone: "Let's set off and target Yamanashi County."

The team set off immediately, and Zhan Lan set up a mental barrier with a radius of six meters, covering them like an upside-down bowl.

This mental barrier prevents surveillance cameras and any electronic equipment, including satellites, from detecting them.

Pedestrians encountered on the road will automatically ignore them.

It's not that they can't see it, but that kind of blindness and neglect that makes no impression on them at all, just like seeing a few trees or a few rocks.

Nearly three kilometers after leaving Jiaye's home, Zhan Lan used mental control to seize a 19-seater minibus.

Zhang Jie then drove to Yamanashi Prefecture, about 120 kilometers away. Zhan Lan still covered the minibus with a mental barrier.

In the car, Li Mu smiled at the five newcomers and said, "Guys, although you don't plan to join the team, you are still traveling with us all the way, so you should tell yourself where you are!"

The older young man was the first to speak: "Qi Tengyi, his profession is an antique appraiser."

"Lu Renjia, you are still a college student now."

"Xiao Bingyi, just graduated from college and is unemployed."

"Wei Zhongding, a senior student."

The three of them are just like their names, extremely ordinary.

After all, passerby A, soldier B, and members of the public are all considered cannon fodder.

The beautiful woman, who had already changed her clothes on the way out of Jiaye's house, still looked so lazy, exuding a seductive aura at all times.

At this time, she wore a loose white chiffon shirt on her upper body, a pair of wide-leg pants on her lower body, and a pair of hiking shoes on her feet. She looked like an urban beauty.

She said slowly: "Ming Yanwei, a public relations manager by profession. I used to really want to travel around Neon. I didn't expect that I could fulfill this wish before I die."

Qi Teng and others looked at her in surprise. How come she seemed to have suicidal tendencies?

Although they were also completely disappointed with reality and could not find the meaning of life, at least they did not think about death or anything.

The senior people all turned around to look at her, sighing and shaking their heads, why can't they think about such a beauty?

Li Mu didn't pay too much attention to her, but asked Qi Teng and others: "Can I ask why you don't want to join the team?"

The three young men looked at each other in confusion. None of them spoke, but all looked at Qi Tengyi.

Obviously, this older young man has established his leadership position among the newcomers in this short period of time.

Qi Tengyi said with some hesitation: "The main reason is that I think that since we are destined to enter the same world, then we should be natural teammates."

"You are seniors. As seniors, shouldn't you take care of the newcomers?"

"Newcomers are already very fragile and urgently need to strengthen their income and improve their survival rate, but you still want to take away half of our income, which makes us feel..."

He didn't finish what he said, but everyone understood what he meant. The senior people either sneered or showed disdain.

People like Zheng Zha, who had a bit of a Virgin heart, shook their heads and sighed.

And Li Mu finished what he said for him: "You feel exploited, right? You can think so, we don't force anything."

"But brother, I still want to tell you that this is not a game between big and small, but a real world where people can die."

"Senior people are relatively strong, but when faced with the infinite horrors of the plot world, they dare not say that they can survive 100%."

"Taking care of newcomers means taking certain risks. To put it bluntly, we are not relatives, so why should we risk our lives to take care of you?"

"If you are already very strong in reality and can provide combat effectiveness to the team, it doesn't matter even if you don't receive any income. After all, there is a situation called 'technical investment'."

"But you are obviously not qualified. I am not telling you this to persuade you to join the team so that I can earn half of your income, nor am I trying to ridicule you."

"I just want to tell you a truth. In the main god's space, nothing should be done. No one wants to die. Everything is for survival."

After saying this, he ignored the newcomers and went to discuss with Chu Xuan the strategic direction of the plot world this time. The other senior people also listened attentively.

And his words are naturally impossible to convince newcomers who have a very bad impression of the team and are determined to go it alone.

As for Ming Yanwei, she is different from other reincarnations who are just disappointed with reality. She has a death wish and is the kind of person who is completely desperate and has no expectations for anything.

So it doesn't matter to her whether she joins the team or whether she can survive. In this case, if she joins and will be exploited, it's better not to join.

Li Mu didn't expect the newcomers to figure it out, because his words were not actually meant for Qi Tengyi and the others, but mainly for Zhao Yingkong.

After hearing these words, Zhao Yingkong's eyes indeed flashed with a gleam of light. It was obvious that Get had understood some of these points.

So, she only needs to show her fighting power and prove her worth to keep half of her profits?

very good.

…

More than an hour later, the car stopped at the foot of a large mountain called Mount Shikura, about 20 kilometers away from Yamanashi Prefecture.

The mountains here are high and densely forested, and there are few residents nearby, making it a perfect place for them to hide.

Of course, it is also suitable for ghosts to hide, so they must find a relatively open place with relatively flat terrain to settle down.

After discussions between Li Mu and Chu Xuan, and with the support of all the team members, they decided to fight a positional battle with the ghosts in the neon urban legend.

It is much better to just wait for the ghosts to come to your door like this, than to be in a complicated city, having to deal with the power of neon officials at any time, being exhausted, and being attacked by ghosts that appear out of nowhere if you are not careful.

Perhaps because today was the first day, after experiencing the opening attack by the Metropolitan Police Department and Sadako's stabbing in the back, they didn't encounter any trouble again.

Zheng Zha used his blood spirit power to completely corrode the minibus. Without any trace left, the team began to head towards the mountains.

During the journey, the veterans and newcomers formed two distinct teams.

The senior team members led the way with Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie leading the way. Each held a Nepali dog-leg knife to clear away the thorns and bushes, allowing the team to move normally in the roadless mountain forest.

Li Mu, Zhang Qin and his wife were in the rear, and the most important one, Zhan Lan, was in the center of the group. It was only then that she was able to rest.

From the moment she entered the plot world, it can be said that she was the one who had the hardest time. In less than three hours, her beta-level spiritual power was reduced to only 40%.

From this we can also see the importance of her as a person with special mental strength.

The newcomers followed closely behind Li Mu and Zhang Qin. Several young people took great care of Ming Yanwei. In addition, her own physical strength was not bad, so she did not hold back.

But after all, they were newcomers who had not undergone any strengthening. After walking on the mountain road for nearly two hours, each of them began to have weak legs, gasping for air, and their clothes were soaked with sweat.

However, while walking, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie in front suddenly stopped, looked at each other, turned around and shouted to Li Mu: "Brother-in-law, come and take a look."

Li Mu and Zhang Qin quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"

Zheng Zha pointed ahead and said, "Look, there is a mountain road here."

Zhang Jie frowned and said: "Having a road means that people often walk on it, and it will definitely lead to human settlements. But in this era, who still lives in the deep mountains and old forests?"

Li Xiaoyi, who came forward, smiled and said: "There can't be a ninja village hidden in this mountain, right?"

Li Mu was silent for a moment, then asked Chu Xuan: "What do you think?"

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and said: "If you can't hide, our goal is not to hide, but to find a suitable place as a position."

"Anyway, this is a deep mountain and old forest. There are no telephone poles or anything nearby. Even if there is a village, it is impossible to know the news a hundred kilometers away."

"Even if there is really any problem, can't we not be able to do what the Japanese did in China? For example, Sanguang and so on."

A sharp light flashed in the eyes of all the veterans, and they had no objections to Chu Xuan's words.

Zheng Zha frowned and said: "It's too early to say this now. Let me go and investigate the situation first. If there is no threat to us, there is no need to kill them all."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's fine, but you'd better not show your body."

"I see."

After Zheng Zha finished speaking, his figure immediately turned into a cloud of blood mist, rushed into the bushes, and flew forward among the trees along the mountain road. The dense bushes did not pose any obstacle to the blood mist.
