Chapter 514: Chapter 511: Don’t Get Eaten by Zombies_1

Boom!

At the moment the beam struck Su Sigui, the red light instantly transformed into a transparent shield. Everything around it was utterly obliterated. Once the red light dispersed, all that remained on the scene was a mass of bloody flesh and a broken knife.

Wen Yulong furrowed his brows as he felt something odd, and suddenly turned his head. Where had Xu Tianyu gone?

"What’s going on?" Three big question marks flashed across his mind, but he immediately ordered through the intercom, "Everyone, start a search! Show me the dead or alive!"

At his command, countless mechas and soldiers down below began a carpet search. But after several hours, they failed to find even a hair from Xu Tianyu.

Helplessly, Wen Yulong had to leave. As he left, he wondered: Had a Level 6 New Human been killed so easily?

As for Xu Tianyu, he assumed the man had escaped. It was a bit regrettable, but as long as his target was accomplished, it was acceptable. What he hadn’t noticed was a seemingly ordinary girl in the crowd on the street, quietly watching everything. She took a water bottle handed over by a young man beside her and sipped from it.

"Wen Yulong, let’s play at our own pace..."

...

"What? You didn’t catch him?"

As soon as Wen Yulong pushed open the door, the man sitting on the sofa in front started asking.

He didn’t say anything, just sat down across from the man.

"Don’t just stare at me like that. Tell me, what have you thought of?"

Wen Yulong didn’t immediately respond. He first took a sip of tea, then slowly said, "How certain are you in killing Li Henian? And why should I trust you, Li Songhua."

Yes, the man sitting across from Wen Yulong was none other than Li Songhua. As for why he was here, anyone with a little understanding of his situation would immediately guess.

With Li Henian and Tang Fu, two Level 6 New Humans, at the Qinshan Base, he created a relationship that looked cozy with them. He not only sold Li Henian an arms production line, but also mining rights, which seemed like an entirely foolish act to other base leaders!

The reason why Li Songhua did this, right from the beginning, was that he was a puppet set up by Jin Liudong. To get rid of Jin Liudong, he needed to make use of a stronger hand, and that hand belonged to Li Henian.

With the support of two Level 6 New Humans, he escaped Jin Liudong’s control, annihilated all the moles infiltrated by Jin Liudong. Even if Jin Liudong knew about it, he dared not make a rash move because of Li Henian’s presence.

Now he had finally developed a force of considerable scale for himself. How could he tolerate the presence of Li Henian and Tang Fu, two Level 6 New Humans, in his territory?

So, Li Songhua was plotting to act. And the reason for his visit was to obtain Wen Yulong’s energy crystals to get rid of Li Henian’s people!

He well-guarded the secret surrounding the energy crystals, so how did Li Songhua know about it? It was because he purposedly told him, Su Sigui had also been a nuisance to Wen Yulong, and wasn’t Li Henian one too?

The only difference was that one was farther away from him than the other, and if he wanted to get rid of them but could do it without lifting a finger, he certainly would. Since Li Songhua showed the intent, Wen Yulong informed him of the existence of the energy crystals.

As long as Li Songhua took the bait, destroying him would be easy afterward, right?

After all, Level 6 New Humans had already surpassed human limits, as demonstrated when Xu Tianyu effortlessly lifted a several ton helicopter with one hand.

"Do you need to trust me? I’m just a merchant. All you need to do is sell your stuff to me."

"Sell to you? I’ve spent so much time, efforts, and resources studying this artifact. And you say just sell?"

"What do you suggest then?"

"Nothing particular, but you saw it too. That was a Level 6 New Human. I’m well aware of your situation. Now, the only reliable thing you have is this."

Li Songhua’s eyes lit up. No more pointless talk, he directly stated, "Only this one? You mean... one million Yajin!"

Wen Yulong didn’t speak, just gently shook his head.

"One twenty-five!"

"You think that’s worth the price?"

Li Songhua hesitated. One million Yajin had already emptied eight-tenths of Qinshan Base’s treasury, and adding more would cripple Qinshan Base’s operation. But considering that turning two Level 6 New Humans was not an easy task, for the sake of his life, he still tentatively proposed, "One thirty. Not a Yajin more."

"How do one hundred and thirty thousand Yajin compare to your life?" Wen Yulong said with a smile on his face.

Li Songhua furrowed his brows. He would not believe that Wen Yulong did not know about the situation at Qinshan Base. One hundred and thirty thousand Yajin was almost like giving away Qinshan Base. Why did he disagree? What did he want?

And moreover, who knew how many energy crystals Wen Yulong had? The advent of these things had already resolved one of the two major difficulties in human technological development. With these things, let alone Level 6, even Level 9 wouldn’t be an issue.

While this might be an exaggeration, it demonstrated the power of the energy crystals.

Li Songhua fell silent for a moment, his face darkened. Wen Yulong still disagreed to this moment. But the phrase he just said, "the only reliable thing you have," conveyed another meaning: "this is your only chance." In other words, he was willing to sell, but found the offer too little. With Qinshan Base left with so little, what did he want in reality?

Suddenly, he thought of something. Now was the apocalypse. What was the most important thing in the apocalypse? So-called Yajin was just a currency, and the real purpose of currency was to purchase things. People bought what they needed most, so what did people need the most at the moment?

Food! Yes, it’s food!

Li Songhua’s eyes lit up, and his face looked a bit better. Wen Yulong, that insidious man, he was indeed considering the survivors in the base.

Food? Although Qinshan Base needed it as well, Li Songhua, who lived there, didn’t care about that. Food for chips; if it’s depleted, then exploit! Anyway, he was the leader of Qinshan Base!

"Five hundred thousand Yajin." Li Songhua this time lowballed more than half of the original price. Wen Yulong narrowed his eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"What else?"

"Two hundred tons of polished rice, fifty tonnes of dried vegetables, ten tons of meat. Are the chips satisfactory now?"

This time, Li Songhua had made a generous offer, his face twitched as he made it.

"It’s still a bit lacking, increase the original offer by thirty percent, I can sell you the energy crystals."

"What!"

Li Songhua sprang up, his aura unleashing without reservation. Wen Yulong showed no reaction, but Wen Yixian at the side revealed her Level 4 New Human aura.

Having stood for a moment, Li Songhua reacted that this was not Qinshan Base, if he were to be killed here, there’d be no one in Qinshan Base to avenge him.

He lowered his voice and said, "De...Deal."

Li Songhua’s anguish could be heard in his tone, while Wen Yulong chuckled, stood up, and patted Li Songhua’s shoulder.

"The stuff will be delivered to you shortly. But remember, never be devoured by zombies. Else, if it creates some monster, I won’t be able to help."
