141: Chapter 141 Special Performance
“Ah? You know all of it?” Rong Po was surprised.
Before he came, Yan Zhengping had privately instructed him to pay more attention and observe more, trying to probe some secrets of the Settlement. But no one else knew about this matter.
“Whether I know or not isn't important. What’s important is that I want you all to know. It's much more effective for you to see it yourselves than for me to tell you,” Oriental Chen said ambiguously.
“Aren't secrets better known by fewer people? But why are you both mysterious and unreservedly open? Isn't this contradictory?” Rong Po asked.
“Of course, secrets are better known by fewer people. But do you think I alone have the ability to fight against this apocalypse? Even if I did, what would be the point if I were the only one left alive?” Oriental Chen retorted.
Rong Po nodded, indicating agreement, but didn't know what to say.
His brain cells were already starting to run out.
“I am not a savior, nor do I want to be one. Just like those students outside, whether they can survive is not for me to decide. The real decision-makers are themselves. It’s the same here. I tell you where the future path is, but whether you walk it depends on you,” Oriental Chen said, patting Rong Po’s shoulder.
He half-understood.
“But in that case, this place might become a target for everyone. Your situation will be very dangerous,” Although Rong Po didn't understand what Oriental Chen wanted to do, he knew the consequences of a leaked secret.
“Then will you become my enemy?” Oriental Chen asked with a smile. He seemed to be joking, yet it didn't feel like it.
“I…” Rong Po was stumped by the question.
He hadn't thought about this question.
Maybe, maybe not, who can say for sure?
He was a soldier, whose duty was to obey orders.
“It doesn’t matter. In this world, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. I have the interests everyone needs here, but it’s impossible to get them without paying a price,” Oriental Chen said with a smile.
“Oh, right. There’s one more thing I want to tell you. The secrets you know are only what I want you to know. You must remember this,” Oriental Chen added.
Rong Po couldn't process it and could only temporarily keep the words in his heart.
“Let’s go, I’ve also prepared a performance for you, as the last stop of the tour,” Saying that, Oriental Chen led Rong Po into a room.
“This…”
Upon entering the room, what came into view was an exceptionally large underground dungeon.
Thousands of zombies were locked in the dungeon.
The two stood at the railing, looking down, with no blind spots.
“Roar~”
The zombies saw someone enter and rushed over frantically.
But the dungeon bars blocked them.
They could only extend their claws, baring their fangs and claws.
“To prepare this performance for you, I put in a lot of effort, so you must watch carefully,” Oriental Chen said with a smile.
Then, he snapped his fingers, and the performance began.
Rong Po had been observing carefully, but saw nothing.
“This is…?” Rong Po didn't understand.
“Keep watching,” Oriental Chen said.
Rong Po nodded.
For some reason, the zombies began to stir restlessly, baring their fangs and claws.
Some zombies suddenly fell to the ground, gradually disappearing from their legs. Then another, and another….
The fallen zombies gradually disappeared, leaving only a crystals.
More and more zombies disappeared, and the crystalss on the ground slowly increased.
These zombies seemed to be under some kind of curse, devoured by a group of invisible demons.
Within a minute, nothing was left on the scene except crystalss.
“This, this, this…” Rong Po was greatly alarmed.
“You see, I can reveal some secrets to you because I have my confidence,” Oriental Chen said with a smile.
He was using both a carrot and a stick.
If he didn't show his teeth, others would think he was just a fat, large lamb.
“How did you do this?” Walking out of the dungeon, Rong Po pressed him.
“As for how I did it, I’m sorry I can’t say. I can only say that friends who come are treated well with good food and drink, but enemies who come will only be treated to death,” Oriental Chen said casually.
“It seems you’re giving us a heads-up!” Rong Po said with a wry smile.
“Well said! That’s exactly what I mean! So that we don’t both get into a difficult situation later,” Oriental Chen didn't speak too bluntly.
“Alright, the tour is over. We should go back.”
…
Mozhou City, Suiyang Anbu.
“Lord Saint Envoy, what did the higher-ups say?” the man asked.
“Currently, not only here, but throughout the entire Huaguo, everyone is not making smooth progress. You should know that many countries in Europe are already completely under the control of our Red Coat Sect. The higher-ups are very displeased. If we don’t produce decent results soon, I’m afraid everyone’s lives will be difficult,” the Saint Envoy said.
“But the rat matter hasn’t been clarified yet, and if we act rashly, the risk is too great,” the man urgently advised.
“We don’t have much time left. Let me reveal a little to you: if we don’t take down Yusu Province quickly, then everyone in our branch will be collectively eliminated.”
