Chapter 100: Heavenly Paths Army
“What? A sandalwood treasure chest can actually be exchanged for 30 Zombie Souls! Seriously? 30 Zombie Souls can be exchanged for food for three days, or 3,000 Wood! This is at least three times the cost of opening the sandalwood treasure chest! Isn’t this a losing deal for him?”
“Oh my G.o.d, the Bronze Treasure Chest is even more ridiculous. One of it can exchange for 150 Zombie Souls, or a set of Cla.s.s 2 Blue Advanced Equipment! Ahhh, d.a.m.n it, I got lucky yesterday and picked one up but ended up opening it. d.a.m.n, I only got a Cla.s.s 2 Blue Tier Martial Longsword. I’ve made a huge loss!”
“Boss Lin Ye is too generous. A Silver Treasure Chest would give us 1,000 Zombie Souls! Or two Cla.s.s 3 Purple Tier equipment! Isn’t he afraid of losing everything from doing this!?”
…
At this moment, all the Chinese citizens who saw the list were all shaken.
They could not understand if Lin Ye had too much money and was trying to burn it or something.
It was clearly a losing deal, yet he still vowed to do it.
Was he putting on a show or was he a true saint?
To save the tens of thousands of people?
No one knew the answer.
This action clearly entered the eyes of the upper echelons of humanity.
Ever since they arrived in this world, the higher-ups of the various major countries seemed to have disappeared, never appearing before the public.
Now though, they appeared.
Far away on an island filled with dark fog, a thousand soldiers equiped with Cla.s.s 2 equipment charged outside the camp.
They were well-equipped and well-trained.
The zombie team that was against them was completely not their match and were killed wantonly.
The few people in the lead were even more powerful.
One drew a flaming saber through the air;
One drew his saber and instantly killed a Level 2 zombie;
One controlled the dagger through kinesis. With a thought, a cold beam of light slashed down with hidden killing intent.
They were in a strange state, unlike any Awakened.
They were more similar to native citizens like Adelia, but their cultivation system was completely different.
Opposite the school field was their bunker camp.
If Lin Ye was here, he would definitely be shocked when he discovered that the speed of development here was actually only slightly inferior to his.
It was already at Level 5 and almost catching up to him.
At this moment, in the bunker.
Three figures clad in purple armor stared at the screen with the Regional Channel with grave expressions.
“Never would I have thought that the citizens of China would live such a miserable life. It is our incompetence as the government which has caused us to let our people down.”
After a long while, the dignified man sitting on the main seat sighed. His voice was filled with helplessness and self-blame.
“There’s no need to take it to heart, Governer Zhu. When the world made that decision, we understood the worst-case scenario. However, now is not the time to regret it. What we are doing concerns the survival of humanity. Our forbearance now is to prepare for the victory of humanity. Endless cycles of life and death must end this season!”
The person who spoke was a refined man who was sitting, his right hand holding a special material textbook.
He looked thin and weak, but his eyes were determined. The light in his eyes flickered with the glimmer of wisdom and decisiveness.
“I understand.”
Governer Zhu sighed and changed the subject, “General Chen Feng, what do you think of this little kid called Lin Ye?”
After some thought, an illusory image flashed across Chen Feng’s eyes. He said slowly, “First of all, I can confirm that he is an Awakened. Furthermore, his awakened talent is of an unimaginably high tier.”
“Secondly, his talent attribute might be related to the treasure chests’ drop rate. It can allow him to make a profit that would be worthwhile for him even if he has to pay two to three times the price.”
“Other than that, I can’t find a more suitable reason. Of course, that’s unless he’s a helpful fool.”
“But from his actions, it clearly isn’t.”
“He’s smart. Every step he takes has a strong purpose. He’s decisive and never sloppy. Also, the video he took is a little impressive. We’re all soldiers, so we know better than others about the state of those native soldiers in the video. Their convictions are like knives, and their loyalty is terrifying.”
“It has only been three days and he could make thousands of people from the underworld loyal to him. It’s impossible for him to not have some tricks up his sleeves.”
“That’s true, you’re right.”
The man sitting at the head of the table rubbed his temples and said in distress, “This is also why we have to separate our soldiers from the native soldiers. They keep a distance from us. Without the help of the chefs or gourmets, their loyalty increases too slowly. They can’t become our core combat power.”
“It’s a pity that the descent of the entire world was too rushed. Our Heavenly Army had to rush to deal with it. All the large armies were split into tens of thousands to successfully avoid the pursuit of the Red-Eyed Zombie King. It’s safe now, but we’re too scattered. We can’t break through any relics in a short while…”
“I wonder how Old Qin’s Demon Suppression Army is doing. I’ve been unable to contact them. They might have met some trouble.”
“The other armies have their own ways of dealing with this. Let’s focus on our task first,” Chen Feng said softly.
“That’s true.”
Governer Zhu nodded and said seriously, “General Chen, use your talent to a.n.a.lyze the information about this Lin Ye. I need more detailed information about him.”
“Hold on, I’m trying to a.n.a.lyze him.”
Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. His pupils reflected a large amount of unknown data and images.
Amongst them were information about Lin Ye during his time in China, as well as his comments and actions on the World Channel and Regional Channel after his arrival.
A moment later, all the images disappeared. He chuckled and said, “An interesting fellow. I will send the specific information privately to the governor later. Overall, this person is in a better state than most humans. The retainment of his humanity is very high. The specific value cannot be measured for the time being, but his initial value is definitely not lower than ours.”
“That strong?!!”
This time, it was a figure on the left who had never spoken.
She was the only woman among the three.
She was young, tall, and pretty.
However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that although she was female, her muscles under the armor were more exaggerated than many men. She looked like a King Kong Barbie in cartoons.
“There are many capable people in this world. Don’t look down on others. Who knows how many terrifying people will be born from this time’s global descent.”
A look of worry appeared on Chen Feng’s face as he gazed deeply at the female King Kong Barbie and instructed, “Zhan Mingyue, your talent is strong. You must not offend this guy. My Heavenly Eye tells me that he’s terrifying. Most importantly…”
At this point, he paused and said with a strange expression, “This person is a little petty. 99% of those who offend him will be killed by him if they don’t submit.”
“So brutal? Didn’t you say that he still retained a large part of his humanity? How could…” Zhan Mingyue frowned.
“Humanity cannot be explained clearly with data. It’s the most difficult to grasp. Heavenly Eye can only provide the numbers from the data. Look at this kid. Anyone who has scolded him, have they spoken after that? Oh, the messages pa.s.s too quickly so you probably can’t see it, but my Heavenly Eye records everything clearly.”
“You mean that he spent a huge amount of Zombie Soul to silence all those who scolded him?” Zhan Mingyue’s eyes revealed her surprise.
Ever since she descended to this world, she had been managing the expenses of the base. Naturally, she knew the fees of the various channels.
If he wanted to silence so many anti-fans, he would have to spend at least a few thousand souls.
