Pretending To Be A Boss
Chapter 954 - 83: The First in the Human World (Part 2)

After the Angel Envoy joined the battlefield, everything began to change.

On the northern battlefield, the hunters' pressure was intensifying.

Song Que was completely entangled with the Armored Angel Envoy, while Qi Yuan was locked in combat with the Puppet Master.

The elite hunters, including Lin Jue and the One-Eyed King, suddenly found their burdens increasing.

In Baichuan City, they never possessed any innate combat talents, relying solely on the weapons and equipment forged by Ke Ye Liu Lang and the people from Fortress Fifty-One.

The mass-produced version of the Extreme Gauntlet, combined with the endless Soul Crystal resources from the Sea God's Palace, granted the hunters the power to face countless beasts.

But their strength and speed could not be enhanced.

The Extreme Gauntlet could not make a person fast enough to dodge the Exhaustive Ray.

Meanwhile, the corpse beasts and human corpses controlled by the Puppet Master exhibited overwhelming strength and speed, far surpassing what they had in life.

This imbalance in combat power caused the hunters' firepower to diminish further.

Gong Kun wielded his iron sword. Lin Jue brandished his metal bat. The One-Eyed King barely aimed as a dozen enemies surrounded him. Zhong Xiuran, who excelled at setting traps, was forced into melee combat due to the sheer number of enemies.

Even Qi Xun, who had once betrayed Baichuan City, was now fighting alongside them.

Li Zheng, despite losing an arm, stopped the bleeding and quickly returned to the battlefield.

The sins of the Li family could never be absolved.

Yet if they won this battle, today's bravery might slightly redeem the family's image.

Everyone fought on relentlessly across the endless battlefield.

Though they could still barely sustain themselves, it was clear their endurance wouldn't last much longer.

Song Que and the masked Wanzi seemed evenly matched with their enemies.

The northern battlefield had once seen hope, but now it was shrouded in thick shadows.

True despair came with the appearance of the third Angel Envoy.

The most distant figure from the battlefield—a long-haired, burly Angel Envoy—looked like a barbarian with explosive power hidden within his muscles.

But this barbarian Angel Envoy did not join the battle directly.

His long hair swayed as his originally thick brows and bright eyes turned disturbingly blank; his irises vanished, leaving his eyes completely white.

This seemingly possessed act went unnoticed because he was too far from the battlefield.

This Angel Envoy's technique had the longest preparation phase, yet once unleashed, it would cast an atmosphere of inescapable despair over the battlefield.

The Death Puppet Master controlled corpses.

Whipping the corpses of former comrades caused no emotional burden for Lin Jue.

On this life-or-death battlefield, he couldn't afford sentimentality.

The alloy-like bat smashed onto the skulls of the deceased with no hesitation.

Only Ye Feng found himself unable to deal a fatal blow to his former captain, Gu Luo.

Gnashing his teeth, Ye Feng aimed his Extreme Gauntlet at Gu Luo but couldn't bring himself to attack.

Bang!

As Ye Feng hesitated, a bullet suddenly pierced through his shoulder.

The enormous force shattered Ye Feng's shoulder.

Ye Feng didn't even have time to scream; the pain was so intense it rendered him mute.

Gu Luo began frantically lunging at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng turned his head, his vision blurring, desperate to discover who had fired the shot.

When he saw the shooter, Ye Feng's face filled with fear.

The One-Eyed King.

Smoke rose from the muzzle of the sniper rifle as the One-Eyed King aimed at Ye Feng again.

Gu Luo drew closer and closer.

Ye Feng no longer had the capacity to deal with Gu Luo. The sight before him left him in utter despair.

Perhaps death at this moment was the best choice.

The One-Eyed King's eyes suddenly turned completely white as well.

Not just the One-Eyed King, but many hunters who had fought side by side yesterday.

These were the most elite hunters, survivors of the first day, now seemingly possessed on the second day, turning into enemies.

Ye Feng was certain the One-Eyed King wasn't dead. Unlike the corpses being reanimated, the One-Eyed King radiated signs of life, but he and many other hunters seemed to be under spiritual control.

Gu Luo finally reached Ye Feng. Ye Feng had already given up resisting.

Faced with his deceased comrade, he could barely bring himself to act, and against those still alive, it was an impossible task.

Just as Gu Luo prepared to tear Ye Feng apart, a dull thud rang out.

Gu Luo's head deformed as fluid sprayed everywhere.

Lin Jue raised his metal bat and said:

"Get up! If you still have your senses, hurry and stand up! Stop lying on the damn ground pretending to be dead!"

Ye Feng froze. Lin Jue had clearly realized it too—this was likely some kind of enemy technique. Not only were the dead being controlled, but one-third of the living had also fallen under their control.

How were they supposed to keep fighting this battle?

"I... I can't do it…" Blood poured from his shoulder as Ye Feng genuinely found himself unable to fight.

Before the One-Eyed King could fire his second shot, Lin Jue activated the claw mechanism of his Extreme Gauntlet and dragged Ye Feng to a relatively safe spot.

The One-Eyed King appeared fixated on Ye Feng.

Lin Jue didn't hesitate, stepping in front of Ye Feng. Charging at the One-Eyed King, he shouted:

"Baichuan City is behind you! If you can't bring yourself to attack, then everyone you're trying to protect will die!"

Ye Feng opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Brother turning on brother was, to him, an act of unspeakable cruelty.

Lin Jue and the One-Eyed King had fought countless battles together and were the closest of friends within Song Que's squad.

Ye Feng couldn't be like Lin Jue, but he admired him greatly!
