#141 - Chapter 141 Special Performance
"Ah? You know about it?" Rong Po was surprised.
Before he came, Yan Zhengping had privately instructed him to pay more attention and observe more, trying to find out some secrets of the base. But no one else knew about this.
"Whether I know or not is not important. What's important is that I hope you know. It's more useful for you to see it yourselves than for me to tell you," Dongfang Chen said ambiguously.
"Isn't it better for fewer people to know a secret? But why are you being mysterious on the one hand, and openly revealing everything on the other? Isn't that contradictory?" Rong Po asked.
"Of course, it's better for fewer people to know a secret. But do you think I alone have the ability to fight against this apocalypse? Even if I had such ability, what would be the point if I were the only one who survived in the end?" Dongfang Chen retorted.
Rong Po nodded, indicating his 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 trainees outside, whether they can survive is not up to me to decide. The real decision-makers are themselves. The same goes for here. I'm telling you where the future path lies, but whether you take it or not depends on you," Dongfang Chen said, patting Rong Po on the shoulder.
He half-understood.
"But in that case, this place may become the target of public criticism. Your situation will be very dangerous," Rong Po said, although he didn't understand what Dongfang Chen wanted to do, he knew the consequences of leaking secrets.
"Then will you become my enemy?" Dongfang Chen asked with a smile. He seemed to be joking, but it didn't feel like it.
"I..." Rong Po was stumped by the question.
He hadn't thought about this question.
Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't, who could say for sure.
He was a soldier, and his duty was to obey orders.
"It doesn't matter. There are no eternal friends in this world, only eternal interests. I have the interests that everyone needs here, but it's impossible to get them without paying a price," Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
"Oh, right. There's one more thing I want to tell you. The secrets you know are only the ones I want you to know. Be sure to remember this," Dongfang Chen added.
Rong Po couldn't digest 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," Dongfang Chen said, leading Rong Po into a room.
"This..."
After entering the room, what came into view was a particularly large underground prison.
The prison held thousands of zombies.
The two stood at the railing, looking down without any blind spots.
"Roar ~"
The zombies saw someone coming in and rushed over frantically.
But the prison's bars blocked them.
They could only stick out their claws, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
"I've put a lot of effort into preparing this performance for you, so be sure to watch carefully," Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
Then, he snapped his fingers, and the performance began.
Rong Po had been watching carefully, but he didn't see anything.
"This is...?" Rong Po didn't understand.
"Keep watching," Dongfang Chen said.
Rong Po nodded.
The zombies began to stir restlessly for some reason, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.
Some zombies suddenly fell to the ground and gradually disappeared from their legs. Then another one, and another one...
The fallen zombies gradually disappeared, leaving only a crystal core behind.
More and more zombies disappeared, and the crystal cores on the ground slowly increased.
These zombies seemed to be under some kind of curse, being devoured by a group of invisible demons.
In about a minute, nothing was left on the scene except for the crystal cores.
"This, this, this..." Rong Po was horrified.
"You see, I have my confidence in being able to reveal some secrets to you," Dongfang Chen said with a smile.
He was using both carrot and stick.
If he didn't show his teeth, others would think he was just a fat and big lamb.
"How did you do this?" Walking out of the prison, Rong Po asked.
"As for how I did it, I'm sorry I can't say. I can only say that friends are treated with good food, good drinks, and good hospitality, but enemies will only be greeted with death," Dongfang Chen said lightly.
"It seems you're giving us a warning!" Rong Po smiled wryly.
"Well said! That's exactly what I mean! So that we won't be in a difficult position when the time comes," Dongfang Chen didn't say it too bluntly.
"Alright, the tour is over. We should go back."
...
Mozhou City, Suiyang Resettlement.
"Holy Envoy, what did the superiors say?" the man asked.
"Currently, not only us here, but the entire China is not making smooth progress. You should know that many countries in Europe are already completely under the control of our Red Robe Sect. The superiors are very dissatisfied. If we can't produce decent results next, I'm afraid everyone's days will be difficult," the Holy Envoy said.
"But the matter of the rats has not been clarified yet. If we act rashly, the risk is too great," the man suggested anxiously.
"We don't have much time left. I might as well reveal a little to you, if we don't take down Yusu Province as soon as possible, then everyone in our branch will be collectively eliminated."
