The scene instantly descended into chaos. The numerous “human-level” members hadn’t yet figured out what was happening when they saw a group of “human-level” members take action.
They pounced on Earth Rat, who had just fallen to the ground. Four people pinned down his four limbs, one person grabbed a “Tao” and stuffed it into his mouth, and Man-Monkey also pulled out two pens from her pocket at this moment, viciously stabbing them down toward his eyes.
In an instant, wails erupted and blood splattered—two pens penetrated deep into Earth Rat’s eye sockets.
He hadn’t realized at all that half of the “human-level” members standing before him were “rebels.” Caught off guard for a moment, his eyes instantly lost their vision.
Although these “zodiacs” had gathered here lazily wanting to break down the door, for all the “rebels,” this was already a critical life-or-death moment. The killing intent of both sides was not on the same level—Man-Monkey and her companions struck without any hesitation.
“Mmm-mmm-mmm!!!” Earth Rat began screaming and violently shaking, throwing the people on his body to the side.
Man-Monkey had wanted to pull out the pens and stab his neck again, but clearly there was no longer an opportunity.
She rolled to one side with a flip. With a thought, she raised her head and said to the numerous “zodiacs” frozen in place, “This Earth Rat is a ‘rebel’! We can’t let him live!”
“Wha…?”
After these words, everyone was shocked.
The Man-Pig who had knocked down Earth Rat sprang up from the ground with a “whoosh”: “That’s fucking right!! I’ve long suspected he was a traitor!!”
Auntie Tong stared blankly at the plump Man-Pig before her, feeling that his figure was very familiar, but how could he be Man-Pig?
Aside from Earth Tiger’s students, all the “zodiacs” fell into brief confusion. They seemed to no longer know who was on their side.
Currently, the only “earth-level” member who could act stood in place without moving—a thin, bespectacled Earth Monkey with a bland expression.
Seeing that no one was following his command, Man-Pig could only step forward himself, raising his plump fist to throw a punch at Earth Rat, who was rolling on the ground.
*Smack.*
Before the fist could land on Earth Rat’s face, the bespectacled Earth Monkey reached out and gripped his wrist.
Earth Monkey held this wrist that was as hard as diamond and instantly frowned. The Man-Pig before him looked plump, but his wrist was as if it had undergone the most rigorous training.
“What’s wrong…?” Man-Pig asked.
“Wait. From now on, no one is allowed to act on their own,” Earth Monkey replied coldly.
Man-Pig slowly swallowed upon hearing this and asked, “We’re not killing this traitor?”
“It’s not time yet,” Earth Monkey said. “I currently have no way to determine who to trust. If I’ve wronged you, I’ll apologize to you personally afterward.”
“Oh…” Man-Pig nodded as if he half-understood, then slowly withdrew his fist, but his eyes kept glancing toward Earth Monkey.
Why did this type of “zodiac” representing “intelligence” have to appear here of all places?
Earth Monkey said to a “human-level” member behind him, “You go dig out all the ‘Tao’ from Earth Rat’s mouth. I want to hear him speak. The rest of you, no one is allowed to move.”
“Oh… okay, all right.” That “human-level” member nodded and hurriedly walked over to begin clearing the foreign objects from Earth Rat’s oral cavity.
Man-Pig’s eyes darted left and right, thinking about how to respond to what was about to happen next.
Earth Monkey looked at him with cold eyes at this moment, then asked, “What you said just now… ‘Xiao Chan, run’—what does that mean?”
“Uh…” Man-Pig froze. It seemed he hadn’t thought through how to answer this question.
“Just now, this Earth Rat wanted to kill a ‘participant.’ How did you determine from this action that he was a traitor?” Earth Monkey asked again.
“I…”
Two consecutive questions pinned Man-Pig in place.
Man-Monkey also wiped the blood from her pen at this moment and quickly pondered the current situation. Although she didn’t know what identity this Man-Pig before her had, the only ones who would act at this time were their own people, right?
She slowly stepped forward, trying to use the most neutral voice possible to say to Earth Monkey, “Earth Monkey, you don’t know—it should be because…”
“I’m not asking you,” Earth Monkey coldly interrupted. “I’ll deal with your issue later.”
Man-Monkey paused after hearing this, looking with a serious expression at the several “classmates” beside her, momentarily speechless.
The current scene seemed to be controlled by this Earth Monkey, but from another perspective, this was also a good thing.
If he intended to investigate thoroughly here, it would naturally take considerable time, which would buy precious minutes for the people fighting below.
Earth Monkey turned his gaze to Man-Pig again: “I’m asking you.”
“Hey…” Man-Pig laughed foolishly, then scratched his head. “Well… you don’t know, but this time there’s actually a special unit in charge of this ‘reversal.’ We ‘zodiacs’ hired some ‘participants’…”
Hearing this unclear answer, Earth Monkey slowly frowned. He looked at Man-Pig, then reached up to push his glasses. “You’re saying they’re the ones you hired?”
“That’s exactly right!” Man-Pig slapped his thigh. “Almost caused a misunderstanding.”
“Good. One last question,” Earth Monkey said. “Who is your teacher? When did he hire these people?”
“I…” Man-Pig paused again after hearing this, then said mysteriously, “This seems like something I can’t really say… I might have to tell you quietly…”
Earth Monkey nodded: “Fine.”
Man-Pig knew he didn’t have many chances left. He could only slow down his movements as much as possible, slowly leaning forward, getting close to the other’s ear.
Before he could speak, Earth Rat lying on the ground finally had all the “Tao” dug out from his mouth. Wailing and screaming, he roared loudly, “Cough… he’s lying!!”
Earth Monkey’s expression instantly turned cold. Just as he was about to strike at Man-Pig beside him, Man-Pig suddenly executed a headbutt, fiercely ramming into Earth Monkey’s temple.
A tremendous sound rang out. Earth Monkey’s glasses flew off, and Man-Pig also cried out in pain, clutching his own forehead. Both retreated several steps.
Taking advantage of the two “earth-level” members being unable to act, Earth Tiger’s many students pounced to attack once again.
The several “Jidao” members hiding inside the door also roughly distinguished who the enemies were and took the opportunity to release their “echoes,” launching an offensive toward Earth Monkey’s body.
The scene instantly became chaotic beyond measure. Some “human-level zodiacs” who hadn’t figured out the situation hadn’t even determined who the enemies were before being pinned to the ground by other “human-level zodiacs.”
Auntie Tong hurriedly came to Man-Pig’s side at this moment: “Oh my!! Old Lu! What are you doing?! How did you become a ‘zodiac’?!”
“Fucking hurts like hell!!” Old Lu clutched his head and roared loudly. “Xiao Chan, get back inside the door!! I’ll hold them off for you here!!”
