Chapter 79 Hostages
The three controlled orcs lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear, unable to utter a word.
They knew that Su Ming would not let them go, but they didn't want to die yet. This contradictory logic made these people give up thinking.
Su Ming freed the corpse and controlled the two people who were still in their beastly form to walk out of the house.
Outside the house, dozens of people have all turned into orcs, some look like werewolves, some like lions, and some like leopards. The violent beast will has transformed their bodies. Their eyes are filled with bloodthirsty and tyrannical light, and the animal nature in their bodies has overwhelmed their humanity.
Su Ming quickly glanced around and frowned when he saw the ordinary residents who were kidnapped.
"By involving innocent civilians, it seems that the gang members have completely lost their conscience." Su Ming said coldly.
The leading lion man let out a sinister laugh from his throat, mixed with the low growl of a wild beast: "Just as an insurance."
While speaking, the lion man was also observing Su Ming. There were two of his own living brothers beside Su Ming, but they were obviously controlled by the other party, which showed that Su Ming's supernatural power was related to control.
Looking at the eyes of those two unlucky guys, they were extremely panicked. From this we can know that the other party's supernatural power can only control a person's body but not his mind.
And there must be a limit to the number of people he can control, otherwise he would be controlling more people by now.
To deal with this kind of supernatural power, just let everyone rush forward at once.
Humph, even though there were some problems along the way, the result was still pretty easy! The lion thought.
While the lion man was observing Su Ming, Su Ming was also observing him.
If his guess was correct, these people should have made a deal with the devil and gained unified abilities.
Because these people have turned into orcs. If all the superpowers in a gang turn themselves into beasts, that would be too much of a coincidence, so this cannot be their superpower.
Hmm...a demon that can turn people into beastmen should be called the Beast Demon, right?
If the two orcs under his control were of the average level of this group of people, it should not be difficult to wipe them out, but now the other side has hostages, which is a big problem.
Su Ming's eyes fell on the hostages. Several of them were so frightened that they had incontinence.
These people are innocent and we must save them.
Um?
Wait …something's wrong.
Su Ming looked at the hostage again and sneered in his heart.
It seems that not all the gangsters are muscular idiots. These people are quite smart and have even mixed their people among the hostages.
This was a brilliant move, they thought he would rescue as many hostages as possible, so they hid their people among the hostages.
In this way, even if all gang members are killed in the end, the accomplices hiding among the hostages can follow him, pretend to seek his protection, and then wait for an opportunity to attack him.
It's a pity that these people don't know that Su Ming's intuition is always accurate. Now he has figured out the real hostages, the third, seventh, and ninth from left to right are all theirs, and the rest should be ordinary civilians.
"Why didn't you rush in just now?" Su Ming asked.
"The place is too small, we can't display our skills." said the leading lion man.
"Boss..." The two orcs controlled by Su Ming looked at the lion man for help, their faces filled with fear and panic.
The lion man didn't even look at them. He stared straight at Su Ming, with a cruel light flashing in his brown pupils. Then, the lion man grinned, revealing his white sharp teeth, and a rough, inhuman sound came from his throat.
"I'll give you five seconds to think about it. If you don't surrender within five seconds, I'll kill one person! Now - 1!"
"You mean to exchange my life for theirs?" Su Ming's eyebrows raised and his expression became much more serious.
"That's it! The choice is yours, 2-!"
"You're right, the choice is mine, go ahead."
Su Ming waved his hand and the two orcs beside him rushed out. The two orcs launched a fierce charge while making cowardly shouts.
They charged into the enemy camp, their hands lashing and punching wildly and with uncontrolled ferocity, while they kept shouting, "It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"
Faced with the attack from their controlled companions, those people were unable to react for a while and didn't know whether to kill or capture them. While they were hesitating, two orcs were directly shot through the stomach by the puppets controlled by Su Ming, and blood was spurting all over the ground.
This scene was just as Su Ming had expected. His previous experiment of letting corpses attack walls proved that the combat effectiveness of puppets was only related to the physical strength of the puppets. He could use silk threads to control the puppets to exert a force of one ton or even several tons, provided that the puppet's body could withstand such an extreme load.
Compared with humans, the power of controlled orcs is greater. For example, Su Ming was very satisfied with the two punches just now.
The effects of those two punches were outstanding, but it was impossible to maintain this kind of attack power in every punch. The stronger the attack, the more attention Su Ming needed to pay.
The two orcs were quickly subdued by other orcs, and Su Ming also released his control over the two men and instead hung the silk thread on the lion man.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Anyone in a group will lose basic IQ. If you want a group not to split, the direction of action must be unified, so a leader is necessary. When the leader is controlled, a group will temporarily lose its judgment.
Just like now, the other party's most correct judgment should be to directly kill the two orcs controlled by him, but because they were once companions, they chose to subdue them instead of killing them. This was the first mistake made by this group of people.
Su Ming was sure that this group of people would make a second mistake soon.
"Boss! What should we do with them?" someone asked.
"Wait! I'm fine! I feel like I can control my body!" the subdued orc shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to him.
All the orcs' eyes were on the lion man in the lead. They expected their leader to give orders, but unfortunately... their boss was now under his control.
Su Ming controlled the lion man to turn around and slowly walk towards the two men.
At this moment, the lion man was extremely shocked! He found that he couldn't move, and even couldn't open ! It was as if there were circles of wire wrapped around his mouth!
No one on the other side noticed that their boss was abnormal, and they thought that he wanted to deal with the two controlled orcs personally. All attention was attracted by the lion man, which was exactly what Su Ming wanted to see.
Su Ming could feel that this lion man was very strong. In order to control him, he had to concentrate and carefully strengthen the control over each silk thread.
This guy is at least three times stronger than the two orcs just now!
