After receiving 659's look, the general-level zombie didn't show any pretense. He cleared his throat and spoke directly.
"Before I tell you, let me introduce myself first. You must be curious as to why I carry a giant sword on my back?"
As soon as these words came out, 659 and Zhang Ning both blinked and looked at each other without answering.
Of course, there was no look of expectation on his face.
To be honest, they are more concerned about Lu Yu's affairs now. A general-level zombie carrying a giant sword is a bit strange, but it is not the main point.
However, the general opposite seemed determined to tell his story.
Seeing the strange expressions of the two people across from them, they just stopped talking for a moment, and then started talking to themselves.

"My name is Li Baiyi. As of the day the disaster broke out, I have lived for one hundred and sixty-six years."
As soon as the first sentence was spoken, the expressions on 659 and Zhang Ning's faces changed drastically.
One hundred and sixty-six years?
How can this be? !
You must know that before the disaster broke out, the maximum life span of human beings was only 120 years old, and no one exceeded 130 years old at all!
But the general-level zombie in front of him said that he had lived for one hundred and sixty-six years before the disaster.
Could it be that he was already a general-level zombie before the disaster broke out? Is it an experimental subject that the T organization has secretly cultivated for many years?
All kinds of conjectures exploded in the minds of 659 and Zhang Ning. In the end, Zhang Ning couldn't calm down and asked impatiently.
"You are bragging. You lived to be one hundred and sixty-six years old before the disaster broke out. Counting the eleven years after the disaster broke out, is it possible that you are already one hundred and seventy-seven years old?"
Hearing Zhang Ning's inquiry, the general-level zombie named Li Baiyi showed a hint of kindness on his face and nodded in response.
"Yes, counting the eleven years since the disaster broke out, I am already one hundred and seventy-seven years old."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ning immediately lost his composure and decided that the other party was just kidding, because humans simply couldn't live for such a long time!
Seeing that Zhang Ning still wanted to speak, 659 stretched out his hand to stop him and gave him a look that meant he was going to listen.
He had a vague feeling that the weird general-level zombie opposite seemed to be telling the truth.
"One hundred and seventy-seven years, I have waited for a long time, thinking that I would never be able to wait... But God has not failed me! I finally waited!"
"You will become my disciple, the only descendant of the [Zongheng] lineage!"
At this point, the general zombie Li Baiyi raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Ning, his purple eyes filled with determination.
"What? What the hell? What nonsense..."
Looking at the other party's expression and movements, Zhang Ning thought he had heard wrongly. He was stunned for half a minute, then turned to look at 659 beside him.
"Little brother, what did this guy say just now? Did he want to accept me as his disciple?"
659 nodded expressionlessly.
"Holy shit? Is this reasonable?"
Zhang Ning spread his hands and said that he couldn't understand.
Shouldn't we discuss Lu Yu's matter? Why did the topic change so much all of a sudden? And it ended up on his head inexplicably?
"It seems reasonable at the moment."
659 nodded again and responded in a confused manner, then avoided Zhang Ning's inexplicable gaze and looked at the general-level zombie Li Baiyi opposite.
Seeing 659 looking at him, Li Baiyi was not afraid, and there was only determination in his eyes.
"If you agree to be my disciple and inherit the inheritance of [Zongheng], I will let you go and show you a way to survive. If you don't agree, then let's die together in the ground!"
After speaking, Li Baiyi's face showed a hint of determination.
"Holy crap, what is this? You are unarmed now, how dare you threaten the two of us? Have you asked about the giant sword in my hand? Have you asked this invincible little brother next to me?"
Zhang Ning felt speechless. Did the general named Li Baiyi hurt his brain when he fought against the Snake King? Why did his words come out so inexplicably?
"Well, I think it would be better for you to agree. Although becoming his disciple is a bit of a disadvantage, it sounds like a good idea to inherit the [Zongheng] lineage."
Faced with Li Baiyi's threat, 659 not only did not show anger, but nodded in agreement and started to persuade Zhang Ning.
"Damn it, little brother, was your brain also injured in the battle? It shouldn't be? Don't you have that blue shield..."
Zhang Ning's face was full of fuck, and he was completely confused about the situation now.
But it just so happened that everyone knew it, and even though he didn't know it, no one with good intentions could explain it to him.
Finally, Li Baiyi spoke and added.
"The fact that you can afford the inherited weapons of the [Zong] sect proves that you are the person I am waiting for. If you accept the inheritance, everything will be easy. If you don't accept the inheritance, everyone will die!"
"Hey, hey, hey! You can't say that. Didn't my little brother also pick up the giant sword? Why don't you let him accept your inheritance? Do you think I'm easy to talk to and easy to bully?!"
Although Zhang Ning was timid by nature, he was currently aroused by Li Baiyi's repeated threats.
Let’s not talk about vertical and horizontal inheritance.
The other party's attitude alone is very problematic, it doesn't look like he's asking for help at all!
Do you really think that he, a second-level ability user, is a fool?
Hearing Zhang Ning's words, General Zombie Li Baiyi glanced at 659 first.
After finding that there was no abnormal expression on the other party's face, he spoke.
"The young hero was able to pick up the giant sword, but he actually relied on the power of the weapon, not because he himself was recognized."
"But you are different, your blood has been absorbed by it! You are the successor I am waiting for!"
After listening to the other party's explanation, the anger on Zhang Ning's face disappeared a lot, but he still asked with some suspicion.
"But I didn't mean to get the blood on it at all. Maybe this little brother's blood can be absorbed by the giant sword..."
Before Zhang Ning could continue speaking, 659 decisively bit his finger and dripped blood on the blade.
The bright red blood droplets flowed on the surface of the sword's edge, showing no signs of being absorbed.
"You see, only your blood will be absorbed by the giant sword."
659 retracted his finger and said calmly.
"Damn it, what happened to my little brother? Why did he become a group with that zombie?"
Zhang Ning first looked at the blood beads on the sword's edge, and then looked at 659.
"It's not that he and I became a team, it was fate."
659 opened his mouth to answer, and the green on his monocle flashed across like a swimming fish.
After staring at the young man in front of him for a long time, Zhang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.
Under the red fluorescence of the cave wall, a strange light flashed in his eyes.
After a long silence, the middle-aged man sighed and said in compromise.
"Well, I don't know why, but I always feel that listening to you is not wrong..." Turning to look at Li Baiyi, Zhang Ning said helplessly.
"I promise you to accept the inheritance of [Zongheng]."
The moment Zhang Ning agreed, a large number of characters erupted from 659's monocle again, but this time the young man was well prepared. With a tap of his fingertips, he immediately turned off the input of core energy.
"Okay...okay! Hahahaha, that's great!"
There was a look of joy on the face of the general zombie, as if he had finally accomplished something important and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.
"Hey, don't just say yes, where's the inheritance? Where's the technique? You're not allowed to teach me two sets of swordsmanship or something?"
Zhang Ning was very practical. Since the other party said that he wanted to become a disciple of Zongheng's lineage and inherit the inheritance of Zongheng, he should definitely teach him something.
You can't throw a giant sword at him and the inheritance will be over, right?
That would be too hasty.
Seeing Zhang Ning's "humbly asking for advice" look on his face, Li Baiyi's smile froze, as if he had thought of something, and he spoke with some embarrassment.
"I really don't have the inherited skills with me...but I can tell you where to get them!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ning's expression suddenly fell.
Do you think the other party is playing a trick on you?
There are no techniques, no secret books, and only a giant sword. What kind of inheritance is this?
No inheritance of any kind should be so careless!
Probably worried that Zhang Ning would regret it, Li Baiyi quickly answered.
"I really didn't lie to you. I originally came out this time just to get some food before nightfall, but unexpectedly I met the destined successor of Zongheng..."
Seeing the embarrassed look on the general-level zombie's face, Zhang Ning rolled his eyes angrily.
"Hey, okay, okay, let's put the inheritance aside for now. I'm more concerned about Lu Yu's affairs than this."
The topic was brought back on track.
Li Baiyi also knew that he really couldn't handle the inheritance matter for a while, so he had to calm down his excitement and speak.
"What Lu Yu said is absolutely true. It is not an excuse made up to deceive you. Moreover, I am also going to tell you another fact."
"What fact?"
Zhang Ning and 659 asked in unison.
"Lu Yu is still alive."
"..."
Zhang Ning and 659 were stunned for a moment, and three seconds later, a curse word burst out from their mouths at the same time.
"Fuck!"
Lu Yu is still alive? !
This news is undoubtedly the biggest news for the two!
It is not only of great significance to 659, the world splitter, but also to Zhang Ning and even the remaining humans on timeline 4982. It is a vital event!
Just when the two were about to ask for details, the entire underground space suddenly shook violently!
Fine sand and gravel fell from high places, and cracks visible to the naked eye grew and spread on the cave wall!
"What's going on? There's an earthquake?"
659 noticed the changes in his surroundings at the first moment. He didn't bother to ask Li Baiyi about Lu Yu's details, and quickly cast a questioning look at Zhang Ning.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning was also confused, looking at the cracks on the cave wall in horror, not knowing what to do.
"It must be an earthquake! Let's run!"
In the end, the one who reacted fastest was the general-level zombie Li Baiyi. He suddenly jumped up from the ground, stepped forward, and rushed towards the giant sword stuck on the ground...
