Chapter 311 The Final Battle 4
If I hadn't been so unlucky as to get a tiny scratch from a zombie, I'd probably be living in the same survivor base as her right now. Maybe we could even be friends, but now…
"Aren't you the Pajama Hero who saves people?! Why are you attacking our base now?!" Jin Susu shouted angrily.
The righteous tone made Zhao Lexi choke, and she raised her hand and knocked her unconscious.
It sounds like we've been deceived by the Changsheng Society, but after being separated for so long, we can't tell what's going on in people's hearts. We'll find out the truth when we get back and let Gao Jue hear it.
Carrying Jin Susu, Zhao Lexi retraced her steps and found that only a few people remained in the hall, and Zhao Shikang was nowhere to be seen. She grabbed someone at random and asked, "Where are the others?"
Upon recognizing Zhao Lexi, the man said respectfully, "They've gone to support Captain Li."
The people from the Capital Base and the Beicang Base were divided into four teams and came down from the fourth floor. Two teams entered the hall, but few remained. One team held the stairwell hall and suffered heavy casualties, which Zhao Lexi had seen. However, the fate of the fourth team, led by Li Musheng, was still unknown. It was assumed that the monsters would not let them go, which was why they rushed to meet them.
Zhao Lexi wanted to entrust Jin Susu to his care, but then she remembered that Jin Susu was still hostile towards her and would definitely resist if she woke up. The people cleaning up the battlefield couldn't defeat her, and there would inevitably be casualties. So she continued to carry Jin Susu on her shoulder, crossed the hall, and ran towards the fourth passage.
The other end of the passage was pitch black and completely silent, which was clearly not normal.
Zhao Lexi raised her hand, and a thin wall of wind enveloped her and Jin Susu, while also binding her to her body to prevent her from falling.
He then took out two large searchlights from the space and carried them into the darkness.
Snapped.
Zhao Lexi pressed the switch, and two bright lights pierced the darkness, illuminating the figure of the man in front of her.
"Are you so ashamed that you don't even dare to turn on the lights?" Zhao Lexi shoved the light from her left hand directly into the man's face, trying to see who it was.
The man, wearing a mask, did not try to hide.
"Are you Lingbao Tianzun or Yuanshi Tianzun?" The Three Pure Ones are the top leadership of the Longevity Society, namely Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.
Pan Jinming, the Moral Celestial, has been taken into custody by the capital base and will not regain his freedom even if he survives.
The remaining ones are Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun. Gao Jue said that they always wear masks when they appear in public, so no one has ever seen what they look like.
"I am Lingbao Tianzun." The man's voice was hoarse, as if he were using a voice changer.
"Oh." Zhao Lexi spun the lamp in her right hand and saw that her third brother and the others were suspended in mid-air by white silk threads, their supernatural energy fluctuations faint.
"It's good that he's not dead," Zhao Lexi said, looking at the masked man.
The man continued, "I greatly admire your abilities."
Zhao Lexi agreed: "My strength is indeed very strong."
"If we cooperate..."
"You are not worthy."
"...I promised you you could become the new Moral Celestial...What did you say! Naïve! Don't think that just because I'm talking to you nicely, I'm afraid of you. I can kill your brother right now!"
"If you're not afraid of me, why don't you just fight me directly? You only dare to threaten me with my brother?" Zhao Lexi laughed sarcastically. "Why do you think I would dare to leave my brother's side knowing that this place is dangerous? Hmm~~~" The masked man had a bad feeling. That roundabout "hmm" with a hint of contempt seemed to be ringing in his ear. How could that be? The person was clearly still standing ten meters away from him. Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Lexi turned into a phantom and disappeared from his sight.
"Don't move. Otherwise I'll kill them..." Lingbao Tianzun's supernatural power fluctuated violently, and the threads wrapped around everyone tightened instantly, but only for a moment, and Zhao Lexi appeared in front of him.
The next moment, he lost consciousness, the threads came undone, and everyone fell to the ground.
The silk threads also fell down one after another.
Awakened by the pain, Zhao Shikang opened his eyes abruptly, rolling over to be on guard. He saw that everyone around him was lying unconscious on the ground, except for Li Musheng, who was also conscious, though severely injured in the previous battle with the monster. Although Li Musheng was also wary, he couldn't get up. Then, Zhao Shikang recognized Zhao Lexi's back, seeing his sister crouching about ten meters away, doing something he couldn't tell what.
He rushed over: "Lele, are you alright?"
When he reached Zhao Lexi's side, he noticed the masked man lying on the ground. Recalling what happened before he fainted, he remembered that he and his companions had come to support Li Musheng, but he inexplicably fainted after seeing this masked man.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw my younger sister.
"You saved us! Who is he?"
"He said his name was Lingbao Tianzun." Zhao Lexi didn't dare to gamble on whether this person's supernatural abilities were anything special, fearing that he might hurt her brother, so she simply killed him to get rid of the problem.
He was full of threats of cooperation. Zhao Lexi thought he was very capable, but it turned out he was just an evolved human who had just reached level seven. He was able to evolve, probably thanks to the Saint.
She tried for a long time but couldn't remove the mask from his face. Frustrated, she used a little force and smashed the mask on his face. Fragments of metal fell to the ground, revealing the true face of Lingbao Tianzun.
He is a well-maintained, middle-aged, fair-skinned man.
I've never met Zhao Lexi.
Zhao Shikang exclaimed in surprise, "It's him!"
Who is he?
"A capitalist, rumored to be the richest person in the country, with some unclear and ambiguous relationship with the higher-ups. But he is very low-key and never appears on the wealth rankings. I have only seen him on TV."
"No wonder he can become the Celestial Venerable Lingbao. It's just a pity that he couldn't attract the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi this time," Zhao Lexi said regretfully.
Next, it's time to deal with the battlefield.
Zhao Lexi did not participate; she only took Jin Susu away for Gao Jue to interrogate.
It turned out that after they parted ways at the training course, Shian Company also went there. At that time, Jin Susu hadn't mutated yet. She was drugged and taken back to Shian Company, naturally becoming Professor Feng's experimental subject. Miraculously, she survived and became a naturally evolved human. After that, she regarded Professor Feng as her savior. Professor Feng valued her talent and was happy to play the good guy, training her as his bodyguard. After testing her a few times and learning that she had extremely upright values, he chose to hide the shady dealings of Shian Company, only letting her focus on improving her strength so that she could save her life in critical moments.
She was present when the Beicang base was purging Shian Company, but at that time she didn't know what was happening. Professor Feng took her away, lying to her that bad guys were attacking the base and stealing resources. Under her and Wu Gang's protection, the three of them successfully found the Changsheng base.
After Professor Feng also became an evolved human, his talent was average, so he valued Jin Susu even more and even regarded her as his goddaughter, while continuing to hide his shady research from her.
The members of the Longevity Society have different values, so Professor Feng and others do experiments in a way that is not as blatant as Shian Company. As a result, she has been kept in the dark until now, always believing that the Longevity Base is an oasis in the apocalypse, a paradise for survivors.
