As soon as the girl's words fell, the room exploded with chaos.
"What did she say? She wants to kill us all?"
"This woman is insane, she must be insane!"
"There are more of us than her, don't be afraid."
"Death might be a kind of relief..."
Xu Xiaoyou's gaze swiftly swept across the crowd, observing the expressions on people's faces. She quickly raised her gun, aid at the middle-aged woman in front of her, and before she could react, blood splattered!
"Ah!"
Seeing the girl actually fire the gun, screams echoed throughout the room as people scattered in panic, creating chaos.
The middle-aged woman's eyes widened, blood gushing from the hole in her head, her last expression frozen on her face, as if she couldn't believe the other party would decisively shoot her. Her corpulent body fell to the ground with a dull thud.
Xu Xiaoyou quickly moved forward, firing a few more shots in succession. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the middle-aged woman's corpulent body rapidly shriveled, her skin collapsing like a piece of wrinkled cloth, with blood continuously flowing from her seven orifices accompanied by rising black smoke.
She had turned into a puppet!
"That Puppet Master is not among these people, let's go."
Xu Xiaoyou put away her gun, ignored the shocked eyes of everyone, directly pushed open the door to the room, and headed deeper into another hidden passage.
Although Tang Xin didn't quite understand what had happened, her eyes quickly beca resolute and followed the girl out the door.
Lin Sheng held his breath, glanced at the terrified, uncertain refugees in the room, snorted coldly, and then picked up the knife in his hand, leaving with the girl.
After a brief silence, soone in the room trembled and said, "That crazy girl is gone..."
"What should we do?"
Qin Yong looked complexly in the direction the girl had gone, then glanced at the second aunt who had already turned into a lifeless puppet.
He stepped forward and said, "If there was a puppet in the room before, then our location is likely already exposed."
" If you don't want to die, you must leave here quickly."
"Qin Yong!" At this ti, a middle-aged woman in the crowd spoke up, "Look at the kind of people you've brought in! She killed your second aunt, she killed people!"
Qin Yong pressed his temples, forced himself to say, "That wasn't second aunt, you all saw it, she had already turned into a monster long ago, the others helped us solve a hidden threat."
"She's just a murderer!" "She just said she wanted to kill us all."
At this ti, Qin Yong noticed movent in the distance, his hearing was very sharp, far sharper than ordinary people, which was his innate talent.
Rustling, rustling.
Qin Yong's pupils constricted as he slowly looked up, seeing many monsters approaching their direction.
"If we don't leave now, it will be too late!" he turned back and shouted to everyone.
Many refugees quickly got up, organized their belongings, took their bundles and survival supplies, and gathered behind the young man, as he was the backbone for everyone at this mont.
"If you want to leave, you leave. Outside is full of monsters, this is the only safe place!"
Qin Yong couldn't be bothered with the unreasonable woman anymore. He had seen her true colors, and even if he took her along, she would only drag everyone down.
He understood the weight of responsibility on his shoulders only after becoming a leader.
For the spark of civilization, he was willing to fan the flas, willing to lead by example, take on more dangers, even if it only made the weak fla on this snowfield a bit brighter.
But he would never let the fla everyone was working to protect be extinguished by a few individuals.
He led a group of young n and the refugees who were willing to follow him, leaving the room, leaving her to fend for herself.
After everyone left, the woman looked around proudly: "If they want to leave, let them leave. Once the chaos passes, everything in the village will be mine, then I'll go to another settlent."
Just as her words fell, the heavy sound of doors being hit rang out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
She watched in horror as the door dented by dozens of centiters was suddenly slamd open, and a mass of bodies entwined puppets surged in from outside.
At that mont, she finally thought of running, as she turned around, the previously fallen woman puppet was already behind her, with a bloody, mutilated face and empty sockets looking directly at her.
"Ah!"
The silence over the mountain forest was broken by the startled cry of a bird.
A flock of vultures seed to be attracted by the scent of blood on the group, circling above them, lingering.
They returned to the outpost on the mountain and finally t up with Chen San.
Chen San, with a sowhat grim expression, stood at the alloy gate, with a curtain connecting to the outpost signal in front of him, seeming to be communicating with soone.
"Almost everyone in the settlent has turned into puppets; Li Yin and Qing are also dead."
When he noticed the group approaching, Chen San looked up, nodded slightly to everyone, and upon realizing soone was missing, furrowed his brow:
"Where is Lin Xing?"
Seeing everyone looking sowhat heavy-hearted and not very well, he guessed sothing, sighed softly, and didn't ask further.
"We et again, Miss Xu." The young man in the communication curtain chuckled. "I can tell that the operations aren't going too smoothly."
"Have you found the Puppet Master?"
Xu Xiaoyou remained silent. She had initially judged that the Puppet Master was disguised among the survivors in the basent, and her words were rely a test.
In unexpected events, the micro-expressions of the first mont do not lie; she observed the expressions of everyone present, seeing only panic, except the middle-aged woman who showed a cunning smile of success, which is why she decisively shot her.
But that woman was also just a puppet. The actual Puppet Master was not among that group.
Who could it be, did she miss so information?
Xu Xiaoyou thought quickly, recalling her previous observations to ensure she hadn't overlooked any critical information.
She and Tang Xin had searched almost the entire settlent, so if the Puppet Master wasn't in that basent, where would he hide?
At this mont, Jian Liu said, "Puppet Master Yorick, a very troubleso guy, cunning, suspicious by nature, with a strong anti-reconnaissance capability."
"If you have a direct confrontation with him, pay attention to his mimicking Puppet Mother, his own Spiritual Power is not enough to support controlling so many puppets at once."
"He controls hundreds of puppets through the Puppet Mother, more accurately by controlling a dozen Puppet Nails through the Puppet Mother, and then those dozen Puppet Nails control the remaining puppets."
"If a conflict occurs, prioritize taking out the Puppet Mother, it can directly paralyze his puppet network."
Hearing about the Puppet Mother made Chen San's face darken, involuntarily recalling the woman in the stilt house earlier, watching her split into a nearly five-ter-tall monster. If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have been pierced by those spider-like limbs.
