Chapter 112: Chapter 107: Stealth is Risky, Better to Kill Them All

Every Chosen One, the first time they are selected by Analog Horror, allows everyone to check their character attribute panel to validate their strength.

But after that, it’s no longer allowed because once a Chosen One clears an instance, their character attributes more or less increase, and the attributes reflect their strengths and weaknesses to some extent. Therefore, a Chosen One who continuously participates in instances cannot have their attribute panel viewed anymore.

The information about the Chosen One, including their real strength, is always top secret. Even Analog Horror keeps it strictly confidential, and humanity still has no means to detect a Chosen One’s abilities. They can only understand the situation through what the Chosen One reports verbally.

Thus, Dick also faked his IQ, claiming to have increased it to 166, and that’s how Xiao Yi had been suspected of increasing his IQ before.

In short, knowing Xu Woshi’s IQ was the familiar number everyone knew, the streaming audience fell silent again.

Because they couldn’t tell whether this was good or bad.

[IQ 6, to be honest, we’ve already seen from Brother Xiao Yi that the so-called IQ of 6 carries some prank-like implications. In reality, an IQ can’t possibly be 6. That number means that when Analog Horror tests for IQ, all it can say is 6, which basically translates the IQ column to a question mark.]

[Uh, but the problem is... what exactly will happen when two such similar people collide? Is it a good thing or a bad thing—I can’t tell, I really can’t!]

[What we thought was an instance we could breeze through has suddenly turned into an unpredictable stage of fate!?]

[Stop overthinking it. Look at Brother Xiao Yi’s overwhelming strength; Xu Woshi must not be bad either, so just watch peacefully.]

These words finally calmed the audience in the streaming room, and they started watching the broadcast seriously.

Xiao Yi, on his side, finally understood why Xu Yingguang kept emphasizing the need to take good care of Xu Woshi.

This girl indeed needed someone to take care of her. Without careful attention, she could easily harm herself; she had to be closely monitored.

However, what surprised Xiao Yi was that Xu Woshi turned out to be unexpectedly useful, and even strong!

She was not only totally unafraid of those disgusting mutants but even when she killed a Mutant up close, her facial expression didn’t change at all—there was only determination in her eyes.

Xiao Yi couldn’t help but ask, "Xu Woshi, you... you’re really not afraid of those Mutants, huh?"

"Huh? Of course, I’m not." Xu Woshi explained, "I’ve seen enough of those things in movies and games; I’m naturally not scared."

"...Oh! I see!" Xiao Yi could fully understand this point, "To tell the truth, those things are not even as impressive as they are in the movies."

"That’s because of artistic embellishment; they’re obviously exaggerated, just like those videos that always boast about how powerful animals are, but actually, none of them can really compete with us humans."

"Indeed, like how a person can knock out a wolf with two punches."

"A person can also kill a tiger with three punches."

"...Really?" Xiao Yi was skeptical.

"Yes, of course!" Xu Woshi nodded confidently, "But, that’s under the condition that the person is drunk, plus with the adrenaline rush, bypassing the body’s innate protection mechanisms and releasing a strength far more powerful than usual."

"...That makes sense." Xiao Yi nodded in affirmation.

[???]

The streaming audience, inevitably, threw up question marks.

[I’m starting to lose track of their conversation.]

[Is this the resonance between two IQ 6 minds?]

Xiao Yi and Xu Woshi then left the abandoned building.

But as soon as they stepped outside, they encountered even more Mutants, which had surrounded the area making it impenetrable.

"Wait a moment," Xu Yingguang interjected and stopped them, "Let’s clear them out first before we proceed."

"With so many Mutants, wouldn’t it be better to sneak around them quietly?" Xu Woshi asked.

"No," Xu Yingguang explained, "From the previous situation, it is evident that they don’t rely only on sounds to locate humans. Currently, we are unclear about the specific behavior mechanism of the Mutants. Sneaking around might risk being discovered. It is safer to make good use of the terrain and completely eliminate them. Moreover, your weapons are specially made; the firearms aren’t loud and the explosive equipment uses shock energy without a loud bang, so the sound won’t travel far and won’t attract distant Mutants."

"...?"

Xu Woshi still found it hard to understand, but Xiao Yi had already fully grasped it and explained:

"In short, stealth carries a risk of being discovered, but by killing them all, there’s no risk of being discovered, right?"

"That’s right!" Xu Woshi suddenly understood.

"......" Xu Yingguang was silent for a moment before speaking, "Yes, and we can also send supplies. There’s plenty of ammo and explosives, use as much as you need without sparing, and you can also turn on your communication devices now. It’s that decorative thing I told you to hang on your ears."

Hearing this, both of them touched the communication devices on their ears.

Xu Yingguang continued to explain, "That communication device has two modes: one for communication, which allows you to speak with others, and it even has an encrypted line that only you can access. The other is an interception mode, which can capture other people’s communication signals. There’s only one button, one press is for communication, and two quick presses switch to interception. Got it?"

"Got it, let’s start the operation then." After turning on the communication device, Xiao Yi looked towards the Mutants outside the building.

"Okay!" Xu Woshi also pressed her communication device, then she asked Xiao Yi, "So, Xiao Yi, what should I do?"

"You..." Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "You should go up to a higher floor... no, you have to stay within my sight. Just retreat behind me... hide behind that concrete pillar."

"I understand!" Xu Woshi nodded vigorously, " I should provide you with support from the back, right!"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, "You absolutely must not fire your gun, do not let the Mutants discover you."

"...Eh?" Xu Woshi was stunned, "Why? I can be useful too, right?"

Xiao Yi was aware of that, but even if there was the slightest chance of injury, he didn’t want Xu Woshi to take that risk. He had to protect her.

Xu Yingguang understood this too and didn’t object but simply said to Xu Woshi:

"Woshi, listen to him. If there really is an emergency, then you can adapt accordingly."

"...I understand," Xu Woshi replied, somewhat reluctantly nodding her head.
