Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

As soon as these words were spoken, the air between the two of them seemed to drop several degrees.

Li Qingxia was slightly stunned, a look of confusion on his face: "I... I just ran over here, this is just my normal speed. It might be related to my ability, so I took some shortcuts."

Li Chenqiu narrowed his eyes slightly: "After we separated, which direction did you go in?"

"Just the two o'clock direction you mentioned, what's wrong?"

Li Chenqiu was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Li Qingxia.

If the other party had gone in the direction he had indicated, it would have taken them at least ten minutes longer to arrive after hearing the commotion.

But there was also a possibility that Li Qingxia hadn't gone in the direction he had indicated at all, which was why he was able to arrive so quickly. But he was only a First Restriction, how could he have avoided the search of these Resurrected? It didn't make sense!

Thinking of this, Li Chenqiu re-evaluated his second brother.

"Are you seeing red? Why are you staring at me like that? I'm your brother, you can't do anything rash!" Li Qingxia hugged himself tightly, cautiously retreating.

Li Chenqiu rolled his eyes at him: "If I was seeing red, would you still be standing here safe and sound?"

After saying that, Li Chenqiu bent down and lifted Xu Yuan with one hand, biting into his neck and sucking his blood greedily.

Xu Yuan's burly body withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Xiao Qiu... you..." Li Qingxia looked at Li Chenqiu in shock.

After sucking Xu Yuan's blood, Li Chenqiu released his shriveled corpse and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, saying:

"I've shed too much blood in this place. If someone suspects me and gets my hair or other DNA samples, they'll be able to find me. So I have to break through the Second Restriction to change my genes."

As Li Chenqiu spoke, he kicked a corpse in front of Li Qingxia: "Second Brother, have some too. After all, human blood is quite expensive outside."

"This..." Li Qingxia stood there, unmoving, for some unknown reason.

"It's no different from what you usually drink, just a little fresher. If you mind, then forget it," Li Chenqiu said blandly, then walked to Feng Qian's corpse and lifted her up with one hand.

But this time, he didn't bite directly. Instead, he closed his eyes as if adjusting something.

After drinking Xu Yuan's blood, his body was already in a saturated state, and surging life energy was nourishing every cell, slowly improving various physical functions.

Li Chenqiu could clearly feel that he was only one step away from the qualitative change of the Second Restriction. He could cross this step by waiting, but Li Chenqiu didn't have time. He chose to use more life energy to break through the shackles of his body.

"Huff~" Li Chenqiu took a deep breath: "The feeling of my whole body cracking open shouldn't be too painful, right?"

Li Chenqiu grinned, opened his mouth, and bit into Feng Qian's neck.

Red blood gurgled from the carotid artery, flowing down Li Chenqiu's throat into his stomach, and then transforming into life energy, surging towards the limbs and bones of his body.

In an instant, Li Chenqiu's eyes turned blood red, and his body trembled uncontrollably. The sound of tearing and wriggling echoed within him, and under his fair skin, it was as if countless centipedes were crawling back and forth.

Li Chenqiu had never experienced such pain. He felt as if he was lying on a bed full of needles, rolling back and forth, his body constantly being pierced, torn, and increasingly so.

But even so, Li Chenqiu didn't scream. He released Feng Qian and walked alone into the mountains, shouting back without turning his head: "I'm going to find something, Second Brother, wait for me here for a moment."

"Okay, be careful," Li Qingxia called out with concern.

After Li Chenqiu completely stepped into the shadows, his body suddenly became like a broken porcelain doll, covered with fine bloodstains all over, and bright red blood slowly flowed out along the bloodstains.

With Li Chenqiu's next step, his leg collapsed like mud mixed with water. Losing support, his whole body fell to the ground with a "plop", like a pool of mud, his whole being enveloped in boundless pain.

Fortunately, Li Chenqiu had destroyed his tear glands and vocal cords in advance, so he didn't cry or make any sound. In the darkness, only a shapeless batter could be seen boiling like boiling water.

...

By the stream, Li Qingxia walked among the corpses with his hands in his pockets, his leisurely posture completely different from before.

"He actually killed them all. I knew I shouldn't have come. I wonder if he'll suspect me," Li Qingxia tapped his chin rhythmically with his finger.

After thinking for a while, Li Qingxia smiled helplessly: "Oh well, let fate decide!"

After saying that, Li Qingxia took a step, and when his foot landed again, Li Qingxia's figure had already come to a position a hundred meters away and sat down quietly, waiting for Li Chenqiu to proceed step by step.

From the moment the name Li Chenqiu appeared, the gears of fate had already turned silently.

If Li Chenqiu could remain suspicious of everything, he might be able to see some things clearly, such as who called him to the gate of Fourth Senior High School, who pointed him to the wrong floor, who found him the part-time job, and who let him see the peeper on the bus.

...

...

North Huang Mountain Bonfire Party

If ten minutes ago, this place was full of laughter and joy, but now, ten minutes later, this place was a river of blood, and everywhere you looked there were severed limbs and broken arms.

A group of Resurrected wearing security uniforms were searching the square for humans who were pretending to be dead.

In front of the blazing bonfire, two men stood facing each other, with a wooden box placed between them. On the front of the box was a string of bloody numbers: 9413.

One of the men had a gloomy complexion, chapped lips, and his exposed skin was bloodless. The other man had a well-proportioned figure and always wore a faint smile on his face.

"Horse-Face, it was agreed that our New World would be responsible for this operation. You Underworld people are so enthusiastic, you've transferred over two hundred Resurrected at once, and you've even sent a master like you."

"Wasn't that because I was afraid something might happen? Besides, transporting thousands of corpses at once, it's easier to move them with more people," the gloomy-faced man replied with a smile.

"Since it's just transporting corpses, then why do your people follow our people when they go to other places to search for surviving humans?" Shen Yuanguo's pupils deepened slightly.

"Wasn't that because I was afraid something might happen?" Horse-Face smiled insincerely, his eyes full of gentleness and friendliness.

"That's well said. Did you already expect that something might happen to our people at North Huang Mountain?"

"I'm not sure about that, but I think if you leave now, maybe this accident won't happen."

"What if we don't leave?" Shen Yuanguo lowered his eyes.

"Then I can't guarantee you'll leave here alive." Horse-Face tilted his head and revealed a terrifying smile, drawing a horizontal blade from his waist and sticking it next to the wooden box.
