Infinite Ebullience
Chapter 138 - 138 41 Be More Ruthless

138: Chapter 41: Be More Ruthless 138: Chapter 41: Be More Ruthless Like taking a leisurely stroll in his own backyard, Yin Shangwu held his Tang Sword in one hand and walked out from his hiding place, paying no mind to the three wolves.

He blankly stared in the direction where Tang Zheng had departed.

“This guy still lacks discipline.” Yin Shangwu couldn’t stand Tang Zheng’s Samaritan mindset.

Everyone else was fighting desperately to make it home alive, but he ironically had the leisure to play the Good Samaritan.

This was an insult to the very meaning of a survivor.

The three white-collar women had witnessed Yin Shangwu’s ruthless killing demeanor just now.

At this moment, they dared not make rash moves.

The dense forest fell silent for a moment, only accompanied by the rustling sound of sea breeze brushing through the leaves.

“What do you want?” The minute seemed as long as a century, and their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.

Finally, the woman in a suspender shirt couldn’t help asking.

“Are you a fool?

Naturally, to kill you and take your spoils of war.” Yin Shangwu’s tone was casual yet filled with a strong scent of blood.

He looked mockingly at the three women, “I won’t applaud your sincere friendship.

I have doubts about it, so…”

“So what?” The white-collar woman quietly observed her surroundings, her mind racking for any weaknesses of the opponent.

“So, I need to use death to test you.” As Yin Shangwu finished his sentence, three bombs were thrown at her.

The premeditated attack fell far short of posing a threat to him.

“Don’t act tough, run!” The young man loudly urged his two friends while throwing himself at Yin Shangwu without hesitation.

“Let’s go together!” The woman in the suspender shirt charged head-first toward Yin Shangwu.

The white-collar woman didn’t utter a word.

Her unflinching charge revealed her determination.

“Commendable.” Yin Shangwu unsheathed his sword and swung a crescent-shaped silver blade, slicing through twenty meters in an instant, landing a hit on the young man’s chest.

Bang, blood splattered.

The young man looked incredulously at his chest where the skin and flesh had torn.

He staggered a few steps back, then face-planted into the ground.

His blood quickly seeped into the soil.

“Little man!” The woman in the suspender cries out in grief.

She was running towards him.

The white-collar woman continued her charge, intending to go down with Yin Shangwu as a human bomb.

“Interesting.” Yin Shangwu withdrew his left leg and tightened his grip around the handle of the sword, taking a ready stance.

As the white-collar woman rushed past him, he swings his sword, fast as lightning.

A slash left a mark from the woman’s left forehead, reaching down to her right abdomen.

In an instant, her clothes burst open, showing her white body.

Blood sprayed out, flooding her vision.

“Run!” Using all her remaining strength, she just managed to squeeze that word out of her throat when the bomb in her hand exploded.

She was blown to pieces, raining blood and flesh hit the branches and grass around them like rain, making a burst of sharp sounds.

“You maniac!” The woman in the suspender shirt burst out in a terrified scream.

As she saw Yin Shangwu walking towards her and her companions’ corpses, she was frightened out of her wits.

She began retreating with both her hands and feet, no longer showing the determination to face death as before.

“Are you breaking down?

Your friendship is just like this.

No matter how noble the reasons, most people would choose to retreat when death truly comes.

Yin Shangwu showed no mercy and continued to provoke her, “Since you’ve killed people, you should be prepared to be killed.

Having friendship cannot be your immunity.

That would be too unfair to those you’ve killed.”

Yin Shangwu walked up to the young man, thrust his Tang sword into his head, and gave it a stir.

Then he pulled it out and flung the blood and brain pulp onto the woman in the suspender shirt’s cheek.

Then he asked, “Don’t you want to take revenge?”

“Ahhhh!” The woman in the suspender shirt screamed in fear.

The chilling blood splashed on her cheek.

A few drops even trickled into her mouth.

At that moment, she started vomiting uncontrollably.

“Won’t you run?

They’re all dead.

No one will know you betrayed your friendship.” Yin Shangwu cut off the young man’s left hand in front of her and took off the totem seal from it.

“You’re a maniac, a demon.” The woman in the suspender shirt scolded him as she staggered to her feet and made a run for it.

She was terrified and did not want to die in such a gruesome manner.

“That’s more like it, otherwise I would’ve wasted all my words.” Seeing her retreating figure, Yin Shangwu showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth without intending to pursue, “Since you’ve run away, you’ll live the rest of your life in regret and guilt, which is much more interesting than killing you.”

“Only broken toys can be fun.” After confirming no one else was around through his radar, Yin Shangwu, who enjoyed a sick sense of humor, started heading back to the abandoned factory.

He didn’t even bother to pick up the totem seal buried in the bloody flesh, it was too dirty.

When he arrived back at the battleground, Lin Weiguo and his team had already cleaned up.

They killed seven players in total and collected fourteen totem seals, including their spoils.

They gave two seals to Zhang Yan and evenly divided the rest amongst the four of them.

“If you had killed those who ran away, we would have left this damn forest and gone home to rest.” Lin Weiguo sighed and added, “Yin Shangwu went after you.

You didn’t encounter him?”

“No, there are still two more, sorry, it’s all my fault.” Tang Zheng began to regret letting those three go.

He had acted too hastily.

As a leader, he should have prioritized the survival rate of his team members.

They were the ones who trusted him.

What if something went wrong and they couldn’t return tomorrow?

How would he bear that responsibility?

“You’ve already done well.

Don’t apologize.

With one more hunt, we can leave.” Lin Weiguo patted Tang Zheng’s shoulder, signaling him not to worry, and then called everyone back to the abandoned factory, “Tonight, we need to have a victory party, a pity we don’t have any wine.”

“Tang Zheng, whatever you do, I’ll stand firmly by your side.” Li Xinlan held Tang Zheng’s hand, with a blush on her cheeks, she made a promise.

Then, when he was caught off guard, she kissed him.

It was a prolonged and emotional kiss, seemingly filling the dense forest with a layer of ambiguous atmosphere.

“Do you feel like you’ve betrayed their trust?” Yin Shangwu somehow found her way behind Tang Zheng and casually asked, but she was thrilled.

She enjoyed seeing others in pain and struggle, especially men like Tang Zheng who repeatedly frustrated her.

Seeing him suffer made her happy, “No matter how cunning you are, you’re still human.”

“It’s none of your business.” Tang Zheng didn’t bother with her and silently followed her.

He didn’t anticipate that Yin Shangwu’s words meant he had let go of three of his prey.

“I wonder what his reaction would be if I told Tang Zheng about the current state of the three guys?” Yin Shangwu hesitated for a moment, then decided to remain silent.

It’s not the time to torment Tang Zheng, nor create any conflict with him, “Nevermind, there will be plenty of opportunities to train him in the future.”

“I have to be more ruthless, ruthless, even more ruthless,” Tang Zheng was admonishing himself over and over, unaware that he was being watched.

“Brother Tang, you’ve already got the eight totem seals, why don’t you guys leave Death Island?” After finishing lunch at the abandoned factory, Zhang Yan, who had been worrying all night, posed her question.

“I can tell, you guys are not staying just for the money.”

No one answered her.

After all, the four survivors didn’t want to expose the secret of the room and be eradicated by the Silver Trojan.

“Stop asking.

All you have to do is be obedient, and we will give you the eight totem seals.” Li Xinlan tried to avoid any awkwardness and made a promise.

The girl pouted in dissatisfaction and gloomily retreated to a corner to doodle.

What she needed was not these stuff.

“By the way, I got some information about Qin Yan and Bai Guo, but it’s from three days ago.” Tang Zheng briefly narrated, wanting to hear their thoughts.

“You plan to depart this afternoon to search for them, right?” Li Xinlan immediately guessed what Tang Zheng was thinking and expressed her support, “I have no objections.”

“Neither do I.” Lin Weiguo also nodded in agreement.

“No, you’ve misunderstood.

We can’t risk our lives over outdated information.

I plan to take action after collecting enough totem seals at noon tomorrow.

Lin, you’re injured and shouldn’t take the risk with us.

We can’t let your wife worry either.” Tang Zheng’s target was Yin Shangwu.

He wanted her on his war chariot.

Such powerful battle strength should not be wasted.

“I am not the kind of scum that will leave my friends to run away myself.” Lin Weiguo shook his head, “If I go back early, I will definitely have a guilty conscience.”

“Me too.” Li Xinlan shot Tang Zheng an irritated look, “Aren’t we friends?

That’s really hurtful what you said.”

“Hey, hey, can you guys stop acting out this touching scene in front of me?

Tang Zheng, I understand what you’re implying.

I’ll go, but I really do want to know who these two women are and why are they worth you risking your life for?” Yin Shangwu was watching these two talking about friendship.

She felt a strong urge to test them, but fortunately, she controlled herself.

“They’re just regular friends whom I’ve been through some hardships with.” Tang Zheng thought of Qin Yan’s attitude towards him and couldn’t gauge properly.

Tang Zheng didn’t realize that Li Xinlan and other stewardesses’ relationship could only be described as cordial.

It couldn’t be called a close friendship.

Her willingness to take risks was purely due to her trust in him.

The same was true of Lin Weiguo; he didn’t need appreciation from Qin Yan or Bai Guo.

He was just trying to give his all to help achieve his friend’s goals.

“A bunch of lunatics, idiots.” Yin Shangwu muttered to herself.

Her gaze swept over the three people.

For some reason, her heart suddenly felt some loss and envy.

She also began to deeply envy Tang Zheng.

Until noon the next day, this sense of jealousy did not disappear.

Instead, it was like a seed, deeply rooted in Yin Shangwu’s heart, sprouting.

“Today’s goal is to get all the totem seals.” Tang Zheng observed the transport plane flying across the sky and shouted, “Depart, and then victory!”
