"Lu Yu didn't fulfill the promised reward in the transaction?"
659 and Zhang Ning both had stunned expressions on their faces and said in unison.
It sounds like Lu Yu cheated Chen Youguo?
No wonder the other party would tell this secret when he was drunk. Is this a pouring out of bitterness?
After figuring out the ins and outs, 659 once again fell into deep thought.
Since Lu Yu is not dead, why should he hide?
According to Xiaoyi's description, at least several years have passed since this incident happened.
If Lu Yu did not die during this period, why were the humans still retreating?
Is it possible that Lu Yu in this timeline has already stood on the opposite side of the human race?
Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in 659's eyes.
As a world breaker, his mission is indeed to protect Lu Yu.
But this is also based on the premise that Lu Yu will help humans.
If Lu Yu stands on the opposite side of the human race, the mission of the World Splitter will also change.
From protection to killing!
"Perhaps the reason why timeline 4982 came to an end is because Lu Yu did not die..."
Whispering silently in his heart, 659 began to change his mind.
But at this moment, Zhang Ning suddenly asked, interrupting his thoughts.
"Hey, Li Baiyi, what is the deal that Lu Yu and Chen Youguo reached? You said that he failed to fulfill the promise of the deal. What promise was it?"
"Hiss... uh..." Li Baiyi took a breath of cold air and frowned slightly.
"I heard from the drunk Chen Youguo that the Chen Nuo Lu Yu gave him seemed to be an opportunity to become a king. You must have heard of it, right?"
"Becoming a king?"
The two listeners repeated it in unison again. Zhang Ning was still confused, while 659 seemed to have heard some very crucial information.
"What is a king-level thing? A more powerful mutant zombie? I don't seem to have heard the name of this type of zombie..."
Zhang Ning murmured, and immediately expressed his thoughts.
And 659 frowned, staring at the back of Li Baiyi's head and asking.
"Lu Yu found a way to become a king?"
"I don't know. To be honest, I don't even know what the king level is. I guess this is just a term made up by Lu Yu to trick Chen Youguo into resurrecting him."
Li Baiyi did not look back, and naturally did not hear the seriousness in 659's tone. He just told the situation at that time.
"The undead in this timeline don't know about the existence of the king? Or is this general named Li Baiyi deliberately deceiving me?"
659 was secretly surprised, and looked at Li Baiyi with a hint of wariness in his eyes.
"Hey, that's strange. This road doesn't work. Zhang Ning, did you remember it wrong?"
At this moment, the three of them turned an angle and saw the scene in front of them clearly.
Under the faint red light, the intersection in front of the passage was full of gravel and soil.
This is a dead end.
Hearing Li Baiyi's inquiry, Zhang Ning took two steps forward, picked up a piece of soil, crushed it into pieces and put it in his hands.
"The soil is still very damp, it should have just formed..."
"The passage collapsed?"
659 looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but asked.
"It should be, maybe it was the earthquake just now that collapsed this passage..."
Putting down the broken soil in his hands, Zhang Ning let out a long sigh.
Returning the way we came did not work. It seemed that if we wanted to leave the cave, we needed to find another way.
"Follow the same path you took when planting the explosives."
659 briefly looked at the landslide in front of him and said.
Unlike Zhang Ning's observation of the soil, 659's attention was mostly focused on the sand grains emitting red fluorescence.
"good."
Zhang Ning had no objection and turned around and walked towards the back after responding.
However, Li Baiyi's face showed a little fatigue, and he said with some pleading.
"Um... young hero... can I put down the body and rest for a while? I can't carry it anymore..."
Hearing this, 659 and Zhang Ning stopped at the same time and looked over with suspicion and dissatisfaction.
"I'm really not playing tricks... I really can't carry it anymore. As you all know, the physical strength of general-level zombies is far less than that of other mutated zombies. If the characteristics of general-level zombies are removed, we can't even carry the first-level soldiers." No one can do it..."
"Those are also ordinary general-level zombies. Are you an ordinary general-level zombie?" 659 did not listen to Li Baiyi's explanation and retorted casually.
"Even if I was a martial arts practitioner during my lifetime, I have been a zombie for eleven years now, right? To be honest, in addition to the sword moves I used to kill the iron-headed viper before, I have used many attack moves that require Qi. Can’t come out anymore…”
Li Baiyi looked aggrieved, as if he was complaining that 659 and Zhang Ning did not agree with him turning the corpse on his back into a zombie.
Because that way, he wouldn't have to work hard to carry it.
"Stop playing tricks! Leave now!"
659's eyes turned cold and he said in a cold tone.
It's not that he doesn't want to rest here, it's mainly because the time it takes for an earthquake to occur cannot be estimated. If he stays in this den for a second longer, he will be in greater danger.
"I really can't walk anymore. If you want to take action, just do it to your heart's content!"
Li Baiyi fell backward and sat on the ground with his body, acting like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"You really think I don't dare?"
659's face froze, and the blue light on his left arm instantly turned red!
A crackling sound came from the palm, and the arc of electricity could be faintly seen.
Although Li Baiyi's existence may change the dimensional slope of the 4892 timeline, this does not mean that 659 does not dare to kill him.
Because in 659's perception, no matter how close the timeline of the Red Moon World is to the center line, it cannot change the fact that it has come to an end!
The human race is already so weak, even if there are ten Lu Yu standing on the human race's side, it will not help.
What's more, Lu Yu is very likely to be on the opposite side of the human race.
There is no need to worry too much about the timeline that has been abandoned by many world breakers!
Just when 659 was about to take action, Zhang Ning stopped him.
"Hey, young man, don't be so impulsive. If you really kill him, who will move little Ada's body? Just take a break. I don't think this earthquake will happen again for a while..."
While Zhang Ning was trying to smooth things over, he looked towards Li Baiyi.
It's not that he really wants to save the life of a general-level zombie, it's mainly because the opponent still has the 'Inherited Secret Book' in his hand. Without that thing, the giant sword in Zhang Ning's hand is just a giant sword.
"Oh, yes, yes, the earthquake won't happen for a while. I'll just take a rest and I'll be fine in a while..."
Li Baiyi also got off the slope, quickly put on a cooperative posture, and kept saying.
"It's too dangerous. The underground nest may collapse at any time!" 659 retorted, looking at Zhang Ning in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning chuckled and not only didn't listen, but actually waved at him, indicating that he could listen.
"Young man, I just saw it on the road. The previous shaking was probably not caused by an earthquake."
"What?"
659 raised his eyebrows with surprise on his face.
If the shaking is not caused by an earthquake, what is causing it?
"Listen to me first."
Zhang Ning pulled 659's shoulders over and continued to whisper.
"I don't know what caused the earthquake, but I can conclude that the earthquake was local!"
"Because along the way, except for the signs of collapse in the previous underground nest, the walls of the other passages are intact, without even a single crack."
Hearing this, 659's raised eyebrows wrinkled again.
"But didn't it collapse here too?"
"The collapse here was not caused by an earthquake. Little brother, take a look. There are no cracks on the surrounding walls. These gravels and soil should have been pushed out by something..."
Zhang Ning whispered and pointed at it.
Looking in the direction of his finger, 659 found an irregular-shaped hole at the top of the passage.
The surroundings are blocked by a large amount of gravel and soil, and you can't see it at all unless you look carefully.
"Well, if it's not caused by an earthquake, then it's fine."
Although the expression on 659's face was still cold, he clearly believed what Zhang Ning said.
Ignoring the general-level zombie Li Baiyi sitting on the ground, he walked towards the collapsed rubble and began to check the sand on the ground.
We need to rest anyway, so why not study these minerals containing psychic energy.
Maybe you can follow these particles to find veins of minerals, and then you can replenish your spiritual energy.
Seeing 659 squatting on the ground and studying the grains of sand, Li Baiyi naturally knew that the other party would no longer urge him to hurry up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, completely different from the previous rogue appearance.
Moving his body, Li Baiyi approached Zhang Ning, as if he wanted to talk to him.
"What are you doing? Stay away from me and keep a safe distance of one meter!"
Zhang Ning, who was standing with his sword in his hand, saw Li Baiyi approaching, and a hint of vigilance suddenly appeared on his face.
"Let's talk, don't be so serious..."
The smile on Li Baiyi's face did not diminish, but he still obeyed Zhang Ning's request and kept a certain distance from him.
"What's there to talk about? Didn't I promise you to accept the inheritance of [Zongheng]... When we get out of the underground cave and get some martial arts secrets, we will go our separate ways. You walk on your single-plank bridge, and I Take my Yangguan Road..."
Zhang Ning had no interest in chatting with Li Baiyi at all, so he said something casually and looked away.
Unexpectedly, Li Baiyi had no intention of giving up and continued chasing after him.
"It's not a martial arts secret book, it's a Zongheng inheritance. As long as you accept the inheritance, you can understand the Zongheng way. If you are talented, you can transcend the realm of heaven and humans and achieve immortality!"
"It sounds like cultivating an immortal, but in the end it's probably just a sword manual..." Zhang Ning complained softly.
I don’t know if Li Baiyi didn’t hear it or ignored it on purpose.
In short, he did not stop talking, but continued to speak, and even kept it secret.
"You still don't know the name of this giant sword? Guess what it's called?"
"Uh...big sword?"
"It's called Tianque..."
