Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era-Chapter 52: Are You The Blood God?

[The magnetic needle of the Absolute Compass spun for a while before pointing northwest from your current location.]

["Scarlet should be there. Unfortunately, the compass only finds the general direction where a target is located, but can’t know how far they are or their life status."]

[Hearing your words, Jade also found it a pity. However, she was already satisfied that the two of you wouldn’t have to start from scratch, with not even knowing where the target of the quest is.] 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

[Currently, you and Jade are fully adorned with a set of Bronze-grade equipment. They weren’t worth mentioning, but they still provided some effects or stat boosts that made it better to wear them than not.]

[As for weapons, you and Jade used Initial Silver-grade weapons. Yours was that swift gauntlet, while Jade’s was a Bloodsucker Hunting Weapon that was in the form of a long blade.]

[With your current power, this much preparation might be overkill since Scarlet herself wasn’t weak.]

[The Hunter Coalition mostly relied on numbers, as well as the Church relying on the townspeople to stir up public opinion, denouncing Scarlet and inducing her to give up and surrender.]

[However, you didn’t care if it was overkill. Even in the Global Ocean Survival World in the previous simulation, due to your cautiousness, you only died due to the damn World Will not play fair with that shitty Great Filter.]

[Otherwise, you would have lived long enough to even find the method that can allow eating a second fairy fruit.]

[Being perfectly ready was one of your life’s core philosophies, aside from exterminating the enemies down to their roots.]

[Because of that, you and Jade equipped every item that you could.]

[Before setting off, you reminded Jade, "We’ll use our concealment skills first."]

["Afterwards, I’ll use my Multiplication ability to multiply the concealment effects. When we’re near enemies, make sure to divide their attention away from us so that it will be foolproof."]

["If we are left with no choice but to attack, we’ll use blood manipulation to restrain and knock them out."]

[Listening to your plan, Jade believed it was feasible.]

[So, you and Jade used the Presence Concealment and Silent Steps skills and proceeded with the plan.]

[Since both of you were allies, you could still detect each other’s presence, which prevented the awkward situation of losing each other.]

[Following the direction pointed by the compass, you started multiplying your and Jade’s agility, evading the sea of trees that obstructed your paths.]

[After a minute of travel, you both saw a wooden house in a forest clearing.]

[However, Scarlet wasn’t there, so Jade and you had to continue. But before leaving, you didn’t forget to take a glance and use your talent on it.]

{Hint Prompt: Red Riding Hood’s house, which was built by her late grandfather. She isn’t at home, and there’s nothing valuable inside.}

[While continuing to sprint in the forest, you communicated with Jade via the private messaging feature.]

{Zayne: Jade, that house is Scarlet’s. Since she isn’t there, she likely encountered trouble outside, so we might have to hurry.}

{Jade: Let’s do it this way. I’ll divide our energy cost, and you’ll multiply the distance we will cover.}

[Agreeing on Jade’s plan, you took the initiative to hold her hand, then used your multiplication ability to achieve something akin to short-distance teleportation.]

[With Jade dividing the energy cost and you multiplying energy recovery, both of you together were like perpetual machines.]

[In just under half a minute of continuous teleportation, you both heard sounds of gunshots.]

[Holding Jade’s hand, you high jumped and hovered in the air by multiplying upward force.]

[Hovering high in the sky, you and Jade got a bird’s eye view with trees no longer obstructing your vision.]

[Looking at a certain area, you saw a red-hooded figure weaving through the trees.]

[Behind her were hunters hot on her pursuit. They were holding hunting rifles, which they’d occasionally fire at the red-hooded figure, hence the occasional gunshot sounds.]

[When you multiplied your eyesight to achieve telescopic vision, you saw Red Riding Hood’s hood being smeared with blood.]

[It doesn’t seem to be the blood of the hunters, especially when the area near her shoulder was perforated by what seemed to be a gunshot wound.]

["Those hunters are truly having a death wish. Too bad we can’t slaughter them. From the looks of it, aside from a few who truly wanted to kill Scarlet, the others were more likely forced by the church to hunt her."]

[Hearing your words, Jade extended her hand, and a blood sphere appeared, becoming larger until it formed into a blood cloud.]

[After the blood cloud was formed, Jade controlled it to hover in the sky above the hunters and pursue them. "Since we can’t kill them, we’ll just restrain them as planned."]

[You nodded and used your multiplication ability, "Multiply the blood clouds by a hundred!"]

[In an instant, a hundred blood clouds appeared above the sky and completely had all the hunters within their range.]

[The blood clouds obscured the sunlight, casting a shadow that attracted the attention of the hunters.]

[However, it was already too late!]

["Blood Rain!"]

[Under Jade’s control, the blood clouds dripped raindrops that landed on the hunters below.]

["Blood Paralysis!"]

[As soon as the blood raindrops landed on the hunters’ skin, they seeped into their pores and entered their bloodstream.]

[Afterwards, under Jade’s activation, the blood energy contained within the blood raindrops erupted, seizing control of the blood flow of the hunters.]

[With their blood flow seized, they were nothing but blood slaves, unable to even control their bodies, paralyzing them in place.]

[As mere humans, their blood was weak. Even a Bloodsucker Commoner’s blood could hijack their bloodstream and paralyze them, let alone a High Human like Jade.]

[Since you and Jade didn’t plan on killing them, Jade merely controlled their bloodstream to temporarily prevent blood from flowing into their brains, causing them to faint.]

[After all the hunters fainted, you and Jade removed your presence concealment, which attracted Scarlet’s attention.]

[Scarlet’s keen senses had noticed the blood clouds before, so she didn’t continue fleeing but waited to see the mastermind behind it.]

[Sure enough, when Scarlet saw you and Jade descending from the sky, she couldn’t help but blurt out, asking, "Are you both the Blood God?"]
