Chapter 99 The Collective Upgrade of the Red Phoenixes?

Zhao Shu's corpse slammed onto the ground.

It let out a dull thud.

Blood gushed from the gash in his throat, soaking into the gray concrete and spreading wider, turning darker and blacker as it congealed.

"Murder! He actually committed murder!"

"President Zhao is dead!!!"

"Holy crap! This is a safe zone!"

"Why hasn't the Eye of Peace reacted!"

Countless gazes shot toward the sky in unison!

That giant golden eye was still suspended there, its pupil a vertical slit!

It looked down at the corpse that was still twitching!

But nothing happened, as if it were a broken machine!

For a moment, everyone fell into a panic... One must understand, everyone believed the Living Area was absolutely safe, and that no matter how much one courted death, they would be fine!

As long as you didn't go to Road No. 3, no one could do anything to you!

But now, this law had been broken; one could still be killed in the Living Area, even... having their throat slit right in front of the Eye of Peace... Chen Yu flicked the blood droplets off the giant bone-cleaver and turned to walk away.

The crowd automatically parted to make a wide path, keeping an unusually far distance.

Zhang Wanyue, Shen Qingci, and the others didn't speak; they simply stepped aside, revealing the two teachers behind them.

"Chen Yu! Student Chen Yu!"

Without a second word, Director Wang fell to his knees with a thud: "Well done! This Director knew you weren't an ordinary person! I've been annoyed with that Zhao Shu kid for a long time!"

Professor Zhou also snapped to his senses and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, Student Chen Yu, you are ridding the people of a pest! That Zhao Shu usually loved bullying students! As teachers, it wasn't easy for us to say anything..."

"Your move today was truly... truly..."

He got stuck, unable to think of a suitable word.

"Truly a hero emerging from the youth!"

Director Wang picked up the slack, nodding frantically: "Student Chen Yu, the two of us support you!"

Chen Yu walked up to them and spoke indifferently: "This organization of yours, how many people are in it total?"

Director Wang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke: "You mean the Four Great Societies? There are over seventy core members in total."

He was dying to spill everything he knew: "Right! The two of us are in charge of the supply registry; there's enough food for at least a hundred people for a month! It's all stored in Villa No. 6!"

Professor Zhou also hurriedly added: "Yes, yes, the supplies are extremely abundant! Actually, we originally planned to win you over; we just didn't expect to meet this way..."

The two spoke with a hint of regret.

Chen Yu gave a cold laugh: "Is that so? Weren't you two trying to trick the supplies out of my hands just now?"

Director Wang and Professor Zhou were stunned at the same time.

"Thud."

Two heads hit the ground simultaneously.

Blood sprayed from the neck cavities and then showered down with a splash.

"Bang."

"Bang."

The two bodies fell one after another, crashing onto the ground.

The attack was so sudden that the two Old Geezers didn't even have time to use their Talents.

The surroundings were deathly silent.

Until Chen Yu's figure reappeared; golden body card -1.

Wang Mengmeng was the first to approach, asking in a low voice: "Brother Chen Yu... are you okay?"

Chen Yu glanced at her, about to say something.

Suddenly, he saw the red luan panel... [red luan Identified: Wang Mengmeng]

[red luan Number: 2]

[Connection Nature: Domestication Connection / physiological connection]

[Connection Depth: Lv.10]

[Current Effective Multiplier: 100x]

She skipped levels too?!

She was originally only Lv.6 and had stayed there for a long time; he hadn't expected her to suddenly skip levels!

Chen Yu shook his head: "I'm fine."

Li Mengyao stood to the side, her face still a bit pale, her lips pursed, saying nothing.

Yang Kexin stared at the bone-cleaver and suddenly spoke: "Um... that knife, do you want me to wipe it for you?"

Chen Yu handed the knife over.

Yang Kexin took the knife and almost dropped it on the ground.

It weighed a full 20 pounds.

She lifted it with effort, scrutinized it carefully, and secretly marveled: it was countless times more refined than the bone-cleaver she had made herself. She pulled a cloth from her backpack and lowered her head to start wiping.

Wait... Chen Yu's eyebrows suddenly twitched.

Yang Kexin's red luan level had also increased?!

No, it seemed like all of them had increased?!

Chen Yu immediately checked the panel!

Deng Yuxin (Subconscious Safety Entrustment / physiological connection): Lv.18

Wang Mengmeng (Domestication Connection / physiological connection): Lv.10

Yang Kexin (value pact / physiological connection): Lv.15

Zhang Wanyue (Trust Consensus): Lv.15

Li Mengyao (asymmetric attachment): Lv.15

Shen Qingci (physiological connection): Lv.12

Lin Yue (Twisted Love): Lv.?

Qiao Xi (physiological connection): Lv.8

Indeed, after the incident just now, everyone's level had increased except for Lin Yue's!

Although the increases were small, they had indeed all moved in unison!

'Could it be that my killing just now made them more loyal?'

Chen Yu really couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only guess this.

If that were really the case...

...then there was a brand new channel for increasing connection levels.

"This..."

Liu Ming and the others stood frozen in place.

Those corpses were lying right at their feet, blood still seeping out, dark red and black.

Sun Hui swallowed hard: "This is way too brutal..."

Miao Yin whispered: "Why does it feel almost the same as what Director Yu said?"

"Shh!"

Liu Xiaoqian glared at her!

Miao Yin shrank her neck in fear and didn't dare speak further... Zuo Shi was one of the braver ones; she pursed her lips and took two steps forward: "Chen Yu, are we still going to the Villa Area?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Of course."

This time, Liu Xiaoqian took the initiative: "Then we'll see you off!"

Chen Yu glanced at her and shook his head: "No need, can't I get there just by crossing the residential area?"

Zuo Shi nodded: "Yes, crossing the residential area leads to the outskirts of the Villa Area; it'll take forty minutes at most."

Just then, Zhang Yufeng suddenly walked out from the very back, step by step, until he was in front of Chen Yu.

His face was pale, and then he bent his waist.

He gave a bow.

Ninety degrees.

"Chen Yu."

"Back at the beach, when I said those things... it was my big mouth being stupid. I'm sorry."

His waist remained bent, not daring to straighten up.

Liu Ming and Sun Hui were both stunned, staring at him blankly.

Chen Yu spoke indifferently: "Stand up."

Zhang Yufeng straightened his back and retreated to Liu Ming's side, keeping his head down and saying nothing more.

Chen Yu suddenly thought of something and looked at Zuo Shi.

Immediately after, a black card appeared.

Except for Wang Mengmeng, who showed surprise with a "?", everyone else had long expected it.

"This is an invitation card."

"I know."

"I'll give you three days. If you're willing, bring it and come find me."

"Three days?"

"Yes, your team values you quite a bit, so the decision is yours. It doesn't matter if you disagree; you'll just have to return the card to me."

"Okay..."

Zuo Shi looked down at the card in her hand and didn't speak again.

Chen Yu had just turned around.

"Chen Yu!"

Liu Ming suddenly shouted.

Chen Yu stopped and looked back at him.

Liu Ming took two steps forward: "Zuo Shi doesn't need to consider it for three days; she's going with you now."
