Chapter 313: Influence

However, doing so also carried risks. After much thought, only using the Sixteen Type to lure them away presented the lowest risk.

Of course, there was an even better method, but Liang Yu didn’t want to use it.

That method involved calling for help, specifically getting Lan Ling over. Once the one-man army arrived, it would basically be a massacre.

However, Liang Yu truly didn’t plan to use this method, especially since if Lan Ling saw him, she would give him a certain look.

What wasn’t originally a big deal would likely be misunderstood by others due to her artistic way with words.

So, Liang Yu directly deployed a Sixteen Type outside the house to attract the flying Zerg outside.

As expected, those flying Zerg, upon discovering the blue light emitted by the Sixteen Type, all flew towards it.

Liang Yu hid inside the house, observing through the Satellite’s provided feed, silently calculating the time.

Once all the flying Zerg near the house had been drawn away, Liang Yu called An Jintong, preparing for a quiet evacuation.

However, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred: more and more flying Zerg were attracted to the Sixteen Type, quickly surrounding it.

The flying Zerg that had surrounded the Sixteen Type frantically attacked it within the encirclement.

Liang Yu activated the Sixteen Type’s defense system, and a circular energy shield enveloped it, temporarily fending off the Zerg’s assault.

As the Sixteen Type held out, more flying Zerg continuously gathered at its location in the sky.

Liang Yu checked the distance; it should be enough. He then quickly led An Jintong away from their hiding house.

The commotion they made as they left did not disturb the flying Zerg, who were focused on attacking the Sixteen Type.

This allowed them to successfully move away from the Zerg, but that one Sixteen Type was in a sorry state.

The number of flying Zerg was constantly increasing, and the Sixteen Type was on the verge of collapsing, its defensive energy shield growing dimmer.

Liang Yu’s brows furrowed. He knew that if the Sixteen Type was destroyed and the flying Zerg lost this living target that attracted their attention, they would immediately sense his and An Jintong’s presence and begin to hunt them down.

Liang Yu gritted his teeth, deciding to take a gamble. Anyway, that was a divine punishment; what did it have to do with him, Liang? Who could prove he did it?

Just as the Sixteen Type’s energy shield was about to be breached, in an instant, the Sixteen Type’s dazzling light caused a commotion among the Zerg.

At this moment, Liang Yu, through the backend, quickly adjusted the Sixteen Type’s output power.

Then, the Sixteen Type self-destructed. The immense energy directly vaporized the flying Zerg near it, and the entire Zerg that had surrounded the Sixteen Type was sent flying by the powerful shockwave.

These injured Zerg quickly re-gathered in the sky, looking around as if searching for a new target, and it was then that the world-ending attack truly arrived for the Zerg.

Just before the Zerg could react, a powerful beam of light shot down from the sky, like a blazing sword cutting through the heavens.

It plunged into the Zerg like the Grim Reaper, and wherever it passed, flying Zerg turned to dust.

Liang Yu and An Jintong also noticed this anomaly. They both turned around, stopped their escape, and stood watching this one-sided massacre.

Especially Liang Yu, the instigator, whose acting was particularly exaggerated. It was only because An Jintong’s attention wasn’t on him; otherwise, who could be fooled by such exaggerated acting?

Facing this divine punishment-like attack, the Zerg were powerless. Some larger flying Zerg on the periphery began to unite, attempting to clash with this world-destroying blow.

But what was the difference between this and giving up?

Any flying Zerg that came into contact with the energy beam emitted by the Satellite began to perish. Before long, there were hardly any flying Zerg left in this part of the sky.

Many Survivors in nearby shelters also witnessed this scene.

If during the day, hardly anyone noticed or paid attention, now, in the darkness of night, such a scene was hard not to notice.

The towering pillar of light, though now gone, was deeply etched in the hearts of all Survivors.

Liang Yu was secretly delighted. This way, he not only got rid of the Zerg but also didn’t have to expose himself, which was indeed good. The only problem was that the commotion was quite significant.

But at this moment, he also noticed something was amiss: a group of Survivors was approaching from a distance.

An Jintong and Liang Yu realized something bad was happening; the intentions of these people were definitely not simple.

“What should we do?”

These three words came from An Jintong’s mouth. At this moment, she looked at Liang Yu with some nervousness.

Facing such a situation, a sly person like Liang Yu would certainly hide first and observe the surroundings before acting.

“Why ask? Of course, we hide first and see what happens.”

Saying this, Liang Yu pulled An Jintong into the nearby ruins to hide.

Not long after they entered, the group of Survivors arrived at the Satellite’s attack site. A tall man, who seemed to be their leader, stepped forward.

“Search!”

“Search this area for me!”

“I need to know what just happened!”

The man shouted to the other Survivors.

With the command, these people quickly began to act. All these Survivors scattered and searched the vicinity.

Liang Yu had a headache. Why did these people like to cause trouble? Wouldn’t it be better to just find the supplies they needed?

They insisted on getting involved whenever something happened, which was clearly looking for death.

However, the immediate task was to hide well, otherwise, being found would be troublesome.

Fortunately, the sky was gradually darkening, and they had no lighting tools, so visibility was very low. It might even be possible to blend in.

However, Liang Yu couldn’t blend in; his attire was out of place with these Survivors. An Jintong, on the other hand, could.

So, he pulled An Jintong closer and discussed it with her.

“Let me tell you, I’ll create a diversion later, and you find the right moment to blend in.”

“Or find an opportunity to run away.”

“As for me, you don’t need to worry.”

An Jintong looked at his confident face and, for some reason, did not object, nodding in agreement with what Liang Yu said.

Liang Yu then gave a ghostly smile and quickly ran out, attracting the attention of many Survivors. But this alone wasn’t enough.

After running a certain distance, Liang Yu, fearing they wouldn’t discover his whereabouts, pulled out a flare gun and fired a shot at the man who had spoken earlier.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze focused on Liang Yu, but somehow, Liang Yu had changed his clothes.

Dressed as a clown, he appeared before everyone, but his face lacked the red nose; instead, he wore a monkey mask.

As everyone was filled with doubt, Liang Yu’s words reached everyone’s ears.

“Good evening, dear audience!

“Today, I will perform only one act for everyone present, and that is the ‘Great Disappearing Act.’”
