"What's wrong with him?" Wu Zhenhua grabbed Xue Shizong and mouthed silently.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xue Shizong looked back. He saw Qi Yuan, who was usually relaxed, now looking troubled, his expression changing several times.
Then, Qi Yuan leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
But Xue Shizong could tell from his expression that the situation had worsened.
Xue Shizong immediately became serious, forcing himself to stay alert.
Could it be that the Corpse-Eating Queen Bee was much more troublesome than the cursed monsters of Sakura Island?
That made sense. If not, why would Qi Xi still be unconscious, and why would Qi Yuan have let the Corpse-Eating Queen Bee escape?
He couldn't let his guard down. If Qi Yuan were to be assimilated, he might still be able to salvage the situation with his superhuman abilities.
Wu Zhenhua had wanted to chat with Xue Shizong about Qi Yuan's odd behavior, but after Xue Shizong glanced back at Qi Yuan, his expression also became strange.
What was wrong with these guys?
Wu Zhenhua rubbed his crew cut again. The world of young people was too hard to understand...
Qi Yuan paid no attention to their movements. He maintained a wide-range mental connection.
As the vehicle sped forward, he repeatedly performed the same operation, his mind becoming more focused.
"Sigh... We've come so far, why do we still have to face Golden Eyes?"
"How long can we brothers survive under his hand?"
"Should we release that one first? What if we all die before we get the chance to use it?"
These were the thoughts of the monsters.
Qi Yuan's spirits lifted, and he carefully sensed the energy situation on his body.
No reaction...
He tensed up reflexively, then relaxed.
This was quite normal. After witnessing the miserable deaths of the Centipede Woman's four monsters, if they could still harbor killing intent, then these monsters wouldn't be subordinates of the Corpse-Eating Queen Bee.
The monsters seemed to be in conversation, their thoughts changing with the dialogue.
"I almost forgot, besides Qi Yuan, there are other SS-level Superhumans. Golden Eyes alone is enough trouble, how can there be others?"
Qi Yuan deduced that some monster must have mentioned other superhumans.
"Surely we can't all attack together?"
Hmm, this was probably them discussing tactics.
"A few minutes? I remember the master seemed to have changed the plan, choosing to complete the minimum requirements, just enough to level up."
His eyes suddenly opened. Cities were divided by humans; monsters didn't necessarily need to fully infect an entire city to level up.
Time was running out.
Although SSS-level didn't mean he had no chance, this monster believed in developing sneakily and might not confront him directly.
Observing from the shadows while subordinates fought suited its personality better.
A few thousand meters wasn't short, but it wasn't long either. The convoy ran red lights, drove against traffic, changed lanes and speeds at will, and soon they saw a large forest.
This vast black forest gave them a momentary illusion that they weren't in the city, but in the wilderness.
"The situation is much worse than Sakura Island."
Wu Zhenhua finally joined the ranks of the grim-faced. His complexion could now be described as ashen.
The supporting members from other countries didn't look much better. They had never so keenly realized an important fact until this moment.
Monsters were intelligent!
They would adjust their strategies based on past failures.
The monsters of San Zhu emerged so successfully because humans were unprepared and didn't take interfering actions.
But from the grand descent in Shen City, to the covert spread through the internet in Sakura Island, to now exploiting the information gap between high-ranking officials and civilians, it fully demonstrated that monsters were constantly observing humans.
Their leveling-up paths and characteristics of preying on humans meant that monsters wouldn't cooperate in most situations.
But what about after humans implemented their cleanup plan?
When they realized that a single monster couldn't level up under human siege, it was only a matter of time before monsters chose to cooperate.
For a human strongman to emerge, they needed to grow from infancy to a certain age before having self-protection abilities.
In contrast, as long as there was a fusion domain, monsters would continually emerge. Some monsters were born at E-level, but others were born at mid to high levels.
Moreover, there were places humans had never set foot in or cleared of monsters, such as mountain peaks, oceans, deep deserts, and so on.
Not to mention that some high-ranking officials could cause more damage than monsters when they sabotaged humans.
Like the awakening and development of superhuman abilities, human experiments had never stopped.
Like how New York City had so many superhumans, yet they huddled in the city center to protect the elite and powerful.
Once monsters united, which side would be stronger?
The answer to this question was undoubtedly monsters.
They had both human-like intelligence and the jungle law of beasts, with strong obedience to hierarchical suppression. C-level and above monsters had the ability to lead lower-level monsters.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines. They had to increase their strength as soon as possible.
However, humans weren't entirely without hope...
Jeanna, the Priest, and others all turned their gaze towards Qi Yuan's direction, as if trying to capture his movements through the vehicle, to reassure themselves and no longer feel so anxious.
If anyone could truly advance to become an SSS-level Superhuman, it would definitely be Qi Yuan.
They thought to themselves, completely forgetting their previous wary thoughts. Humanity was now on the brink of extinction, in danger of annihilation at any moment. Did national boundaries even matter anymore?
Qi Yuan, on whom they pinned such high hopes, was oblivious to this. He was closest to this group of people and had long since blocked out their thoughts.
As the vehicles continued to approach the eerie and terrifying black forest, he finally caught a thought.
"Those useless subordinates don't seem to have encountered any enemies yet."
"If they just obediently follow my plan, they should be able to buy enough time, but why do I feel so uneasy?"
It recalled the scene it had witnessed in Shen City.
Those eyes, once seen, could never be forgotten...
Like a deity looking down upon all things, everything was fleeting, all creatures were mere ants before him.
At that moment, it had only one thought.
Run! If it didn't run now, it would be too late!
Even after so much time had passed, recalling it still sent chills down its spine.
"No, the urgent task now is to level up as soon as possible!"
"Golden Eyes human... inferior... forget it, once I reach SSS-level, won't Golden Eyes be easy to deal with!"
"Kill him, avenge the humiliation!"
Familiar power surged up endlessly, and Qi Yuan's aura began to rise, gradually approaching that of a deity. His every move seemed to carry a rhythm. It was as if he wasn't sitting in a car seat, but on an incomparably magnificent, sacred, and inviolable divine throne.
His eyes also changed to the purest gold color, seemingly able to see everything in the world across space.
Qi Yuan calmly looked towards the depths of the forest...
Indeed, the experience card was different from the passive ability. The experience card required the enemy to be within his mental sensing range and captured by his mental sensing to take effect.

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
