93: Weird Zhuo Kaiyuan!

Luo Yanping shook his head slightly, looked at the man and said, "Xiao Zhou, you always see the core of other problems. However, you still know too little about the three great families of the Capital."

Chen Zhou silently lowered his head.

Luo Yanping then said indifferently, "The resources controlled by the three great families far exceed your imagination."

"Almost everyone who was caught in that heavy rain was paralyzed. But all the Su Family members who were caught in the rain were safe and sound."

"Also, Su Hai's Talent to generate contracts is too practical! Every contract he sells could very well bring in a powerful item, or even a life-saving trump card!"

"And Su Ling, this woman is the most sinister! You must have noticed her ears. With the Su Family's strength, they could even get a Level 3 Crystal Nucleus, and it would be easy for her to reach Level 3! But she still seems to be only Level 0! Why do you think that is?"

Chen Zhou pondered for a moment, his eyes grave as he said, "That woman has a secret."

Luo Yanping nodded slightly: "That woman was very extraordinary even before the apocalypse. Now, as long as she lives, the Su Family will surely grow and prosper!"

Chen Zhou suddenly frowned and said, "Will that woman recruit Lin Chuan?"

Luo Yanping smiled slightly, his tone very certain: "She won't!"

And in the Su Family's team, who had left on their own, Su Hai also asked, "Sister, should we recruit Lin Chuan?"

Su Ling shook her head: "We can't afford to recruit him."

Su Hai then asked: "Then what about just befriending him?"

Su Ling still shook her head: "There's no need for that either."

"Why?"

Su Ling looked at her younger brother sideways and sighed, "Do you really think Luo Yanping is crazy?"

"What?" Su Hai didn't understand.

Su Ling thought for a moment and asked her younger brother, "I remember you wrote a post-reading reflection of over ten thousand words on 'A Brief History of Humankind' last year. Now, I ask you, in the environment created by the Killing Game, how should humanity survive?"

Su Hai didn't grasp the deeper meaning of his sister's question and answered directly, "Do everything possible to become stronger?"

Su Ling looked at her brother's naive face and prompted him again, "What I want is a more macroscopic answer, from the perspective of all humanity."

"Hmm? A macroscopic answer?" Su Hai looked bewildered.

Su Ling sighed, her gaze sweeping over the human corpses scattered everywhere on the streets: "In the environment created by the Killing Game, the rewards for killing are simply too great. Few people can resist the temptation not to kill."

"But if this continues, humanity will constantly kill each other and will inevitably head towards extinction."

"Throughout human history, no matter what stage, the most core goal has always been simply survival."

"In an environment where killing has become extremely common, humanity will inevitably seek new ways of survival for this core goal of 'survival'."

"In such an environment, besides becoming stronger, for humans to survive, they will inevitably form various forces, just like ancient tribes!"

"When no one has the authority to establish a unified 'law' for the world, the existence of 'tribes' will, in another form, guarantee human survival!"

"The future world will inevitably see the emergence of various major forces."

"Among unaligned individuals, there will inevitably still be various killings for Benefit. But for those who join major forces, their survival will be guaranteed to a certain extent."

Su Hai listened to his sister's earnest teachings, deep in thought.

The look in his eyes towards his sister grew more and more worshipful and respectful—

When many people only saw today, only saw themselves.

His sister, however, had already seen the situation clearly and foreseen the future!

Su Ling looked at Su Hai and continued, "In times of chaos, forming forces like this, we 'capitalists' from before the apocalypse actually don't have an advantage. Instead, some grassroots leaders are more easily supported, with a single call rallying many."

"You only see Luo Yanping as an enemy of Lin Chuan, but you don't see the deeper meaning behind it."

Su Hai only then came to his senses: "Luo Yanping wants to attract more people to join his forces by 'antagonizing Lin Chuan'? Does he want to form an anti-Lin Chuan alliance?"

Su Hai smiled slightly: "An anti-Lin Chuan alliance is not quite it. However, in ancient peasant uprisings, didn't they all specifically find a pretext? Luo Yanping being an enemy of Lin Chuan makes it easier to bring those who also harbor hostility towards Lin Chuan under his command."

Su Hai said with a strange expression, "Why are we talking about peasant uprisings? It sounds like Lin Chuan is an emperor or something…"

Su Ling did not refute, but merely said, "Luo Yanping is ruthless and acts decisively, he can be considered a hero in troubled times. But our Su Family doesn't need to be so aggressive; developing in a low-key and steady manner is very good."

Su Hai nodded in conviction: "I'll listen to you for everything, Sister!"

The night grew deeper.

The Capital's chat channel, as expected, erupted with even more frenzied public attacks because Lin Chuan had topped the world slaughter chart!

At this moment, the Old Western-Style House, after the cruel slaughter during the day, was now completely dark and silent.

Only the more than two hundred corpses, rumored to have been killed by Lin Chuan, lay peacefully scattered in every corner of the Old Western-Style House.

A strong smell of blood permeated the air.

Yet at this moment, a thin figure quietly appeared in the Old Western-Style House.

That figure was only in the likeness of a ten-year-old child!

That was…

Zhuo Tianhan's ten-year-old younger brother, Zhuo Kaiyuan!

In the complete darkness, Zhuo Kaiyuan moved extremely quietly, slowly, and cautiously.

Quietly, his small hand touched a cold corpse!

Soon, a layer of black mist rose from the corpse, slowly merging into Zhuo Kaiyuan's body!

And that corpse, which had been relatively intact, completely rotted in an instant!

The stench of decay in the air instantly overshadowed the previous smell of blood!

Zhuo Kaiyuan, a ten-year-old child, showed no disgust or fear at all.

On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement!

Then, one by one, the corpses that Luo Yanping had deliberately left there were all 'sucked' of their black qi by Zhuo Kaiyuan!

Finally, he walked towards the underground Defense Bunker of the Old Western-Style House!

Among the corpses there, over a dozen were from the main Zhuo Family!

Zhuo Kaiyuan showed no sign of pain on his face when he saw the corpses of his relatives.

On the contrary, his eyes grew more excited as he went to touch the corpses of his relatives!

The black qi on these Zhuo Family corpses was mostly even denser than on the other corpses outside!

Especially Zhuo Tianyi's corpse, the black mist was the most concentrated!

Zhuo Kaiyuan's gaze towards that corpse also grew more and more delighted!

He suddenly let out a burp, raised his hand, and pressed the black qi back into Zhuo Tianyi's corpse!

He looked at Zhuo Tianyi with a satisfied expression, and said in a haunting tone, "You're very unwilling, aren't you, my dear sister?"

The corpse lying on the ground naturally could not respond to him.

Zhuo Kaiyuan was not annoyed in the slightest; instead, he smiled sinisterly: "Since you're unwilling, then, live on with me, Sister Tianyi…"

With that, the ten-year-old boy showed a strange smile on his face.

He flipped his palm, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand!

And this dagger, he ruthlessly plunged into his own heart!

What was terrifying was that the blood flowing from his heart was strangely black!

Moreover, despite piercing his heart with such force, the black blood flowed out very slowly.

One drop, two drops, three drops…

Zhuo Kaiyuan struggled for a long time before three drops of blood flowed from his heart, dripping onto Zhuo Tianyi's broken skull, where the Crystal Nucleus had originally been located!
