Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Cluckers, Chicken, Mobile Ingredient Warehouse

Dustin Sullivan and Lily Underwood both caught the vicious sneak attack aimed at the back of Seraphina Sullivan’s head out of the corners of their eyes.

However, their steps only faltered for a moment; they didn’t immediately rush to help.

Dustin Sullivan’s gaze was calm, as if he were assessing something.

Beneath her mask, Lily Underwood’s brows furrowed. She tightened her grip on her weapon but ultimately made no move.

Their thoughts were surprisingly in sync. ’If Seraphina Sullivan can’t even handle a sneak attack of this level, she’s not destined to last long in this cruel competition. She isn’t worthy of being our partner, and getting rid of a dead weight early isn’t a bad thing.’

The flimsy nature of their team spirit was on full display.

Seraphina Sullivan paid it no mind.

She had long understood that in a place like this, people you could trust your back to were few and far between. In the end, survival depended solely on oneself.

She had never placed her hopes of survival in the hands of others.

Just as the cold blade was about to touch a strand of her hair...

Seraphina Sullivan’s figure shifted slightly to the side before she spun around, her left hand shooting out.

With unerring precision, she seized the attacker’s knife-wielding wrist!

"What?!" The attacker’s pupils constricted, the smug, vicious grin on his face instantly freezing.

In its place was utter disbelief!

He felt as if his wrist were clamped in a steel vise. No matter how much strength he exerted, it wouldn’t budge an inch!

The attacker’s eyes filled with terror. ’Where did this woman get such terrifying strength?!’

Seraphina Sullivan sneered inwardly. ’Those five Power Apples weren’t for nothing!’

Though she wasn’t a King of Fortune like Sean Chandler who had directly awakened the [Monster Power] Talent, the pure Power she’d accumulated had long since surpassed that of an ordinary person.

CRACK!

A sickening crunch of breaking bone rang out clearly!

"AAGH—!!!" The man let out a blood-curdling scream like a pig being slaughtered. His wrist twisted at an unnatural angle, and his machete fell to the ground with a CLANG.

Seraphina Sullivan didn’t even spare a glance at his face, contorted in agony.

Grabbing his arm by the broken wrist, she put her core into it and, as if tossing a bag of trash, effortlessly swung the man—who was much larger than her—and slammed him violently against a thick nearby tree!

THUD!

The man crashed heavily against the tree trunk and tumbled to the ground. Besides his broken wrist, who knew how many other bones in his body were shattered. He could only curl up like a pile of sludge, letting out pained moans.

Seraphina Sullivan shot him a cold glance.

She didn’t kill him, and it wasn’t out of some saintly compassion.

Instead, she knew perfectly well that in this perilous Slaughter Pasture, the fear and despair endured by someone who had lost their ability to fight and could only await death was far crueler than being killed cleanly.

"You shouldn’t have provoked me."

She left him with those words, ignoring the crippled man. She bent down to pick up her machete and the one he had dropped, then turned and quickly vanished into the forest, her movements decisive and resolute.

This series of clean, powerful movements brought a flash of surprise and approval to Dustin Sullivan’s eyes. Beneath her mask, the corners of Lily Underwood’s mouth also curved up slightly.

It seemed no one in this hastily formed, flimsy team was a simple character.

Ash gulped as he watched the scene, then followed behind Seraphina Sullivan with a silent Sean Chandler.

He knew that as long as he obediently stuck by Seraphina Sullivan’s side, he could save his own skin. This time, he was still determined to stick with her.

After the brief commotion over the weapons, the real slaughter began.

Lily Underwood tightened her grip on the long-handled axe she had chosen and looked at Dustin Sullivan. "What’s our plan? Do we look for targets together and then take them down as a group?"
