TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 72

Chapter 72: The Gap

Lu Yunzhou blankly stared at the scene before him. The difference between people was born from comparison, and the contrast at this moment was particularly direct and tragic.

He thought that the solution was to painstakingly and gradually solve a little bit each day.

But the result…!

Unbeknownst to Lu Yunzhou, Xie YunChuan had once again left him far behind on the road to becoming a god.

Lu Yunzhou was completely crushed, he thought his lightning ability was already very strong, but now compared with Xie YunChuan, he was just a frog in a well who had never seen the world.

“What’s that move called?”

“Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers, just made it up.” Indeed, this was the first time he used this skill, and it was also a new move unlocked after this upgrade.

Lu Yunzhou said with embarrassment, “Is the ‘flower’ the ‘flower’ as in brains?”

“Whatever, as long as you’re happy.”

“I’m not happy, can I learn it?”

“Sure!” Xie YunChuan was not stingy at all.

“Huh?” Lu Yunzhou looked at him expectantly.

“First of all, you have to have wood-type abilities.” Xie YunChuan knew that Lu Yunzhou had awakened lightning abilities, and it was not difficult to guess from the fighting marks outside that he was just teasing him.

A faint sentence poured a basin of ice water on Lu Yunzhou, chilling him to the bone, “Can you please act like a human being?”

“Stop talking nonsense, can you move? Get up and let’s go.” During the conversation, Xie YunChuan operated the wooden vines to dig out all the crystal cores, wash them with clean water, and collect them.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have the leisure to bicker with Lu Yunzhou here, his Shuyou was still waiting for him to go back.

Lu Yunzhou supported the railing, trembling as he propped himself up. Seeing that Xie YunChuan had no intention of coming over to help, he weakly said, “Big brother, can’t you come and give me a hand?”

Xie YunChuan said angrily, “Aren’t you much better? Why do you still need someone to help you?”

His whole body was covered in dirty blood, which really made Xie YunChuan have no desire to lend a hand. Disgusting!

Despite his unwillingness, he still went over to help Lu Yunzhou walk.

Because he saw that his legs were shaking when he stood up, he was afraid that if he helped him a step later, Lu Yunzhou would fall straight to the ground and rest in peace forever.

Xie YunChuan thought irritably, why does he always encounter this jinx, and every time he looks like he’s half-dead?

If he didn’t need to inquire about Cheng Xie’s research, he wouldn’t want to take him away at all.

In the dark night, Jiang Long and others who were originally following Xie YunChuan watched him knock out the guard and enter the underground arena. San Haozi whispered, “Brother Long, are we still following?”

Jiang Long slapped him hard on the head and roared in a low voice, “Follow you, you big-headed ghost! He’s going to die, are you going too? Don’t you know what’s inside?”

Except for the ordinary people in the lower district, almost everyone knew that this underground arena was filled with many zombies. This was a publicly known secret that everyone kept silent about.

However, many people only knew that there were many zombies inside, but they didn’t know the specifics.

Recently, level one ability users could clearly feel the energy fluctuations surging from below, knowing that they had basically evolved into primary zombies.

Therefore, Jiang Long would not easily try to explore what was inside. He didn’t want to before, and now he didn’t dare.

Speaking of this, San Haozi was a little worried. He said with melancholy, “Brother, do you think there will be any problems with so many zombies locked up in our base?”

Jiang Long said with a sinister smile, “Yes, how can there not be? There are big problems, okay?”

It would be strange if there were no problems. If you walk by the river often, how can you not get your shoes wet? It’s only a matter of time.

Hu Zi interjected, “Then why don’t you guys do something about it?” Why condone such a big disaster in the base?

“Do something? Who’s going to do something? Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door. Anyway, the first ones to suffer if the zombies break out of their cages are those powerless ordinary people. Ability users always have a chance to escape, so why bother!”

Those who have the ability to manage have the ability to protect themselves. Who would be willing to tempt fate? The people whose lives are really threatened don’t have the ability to manage, and they don’t even know there’s such a thing. Isn’t that how it is!

Jiang Long was not an extremely vicious person, but he was definitely not a good person. He couldn’t possibly manage this matter, what did it have to do with him? It’s not him who will die.

Indifference was a major characteristic of human nature in the end of the world, and in this Half-Moon City base, this characteristic was fully reflected.

Hearing Jiang Long say this, Hu Zi and San Haozi, as ordinary people, felt a chill in their hearts and didn’t say anything more about it.

They knew that they couldn’t change anything.

Indeed, no one would care. In their understanding, ability users would not be infected with the virus and mutate, so the threat of zombies to them was greatly reduced. No one would care when the zombies locked in the base would break out of their cages and enjoy the feast.

Anyway, they wouldn’t be the main course at the feast.

Su Genglie asked, “Then are we just waiting for him to come out here?” He didn’t participate in their previous topic.

One was: He didn’t have the ability to participate. He still didn’t think that water-type abilities would have any powerful attack power. Moreover, the opponent was a living dead zombie with a copper head and iron arms. Wanting to shatter a zombie with the power of water was just a fantasy.

The only benefit was convenience in life, and this convenience was not even as useful as a bag of bread.

The second was: His thoughts were the same as Jiang Long’s. There was no need to manage that matter. When you and a group of people become the prey of a tiger at the same time, you don’t need to outrun the tiger, you just need to outrun the weakest person.

And he, obviously, couldn’t be the weakest.

Jiang Long frowned, looking at the entrance of the arena, which was like the abyss’s giant mouth of a beast. The heavy black color seemed to have the dark power to devour everything.

He thought for a moment, then got up and walked back, whispering, “Let’s go back, the person who has the courage to break into this place is not a simple character, it’s better for us to provoke him less.”

It must be said that he had a good eye.

Hu Zi and San Haozi looked at each other for a moment and followed silently.

The only one who was strongly dissatisfied was Su Genglie, because Jiang Long had promised before that if he got Xie YunChuan’s crystal core this time, it would belong to him.

He was wondering if it was because of this promise that Jiang Long gave up this opportunity so easily.

Although he felt that his ability was not very lethal, who wouldn’t want to upgrade their ability and become stronger?

Because his ability was very weak, he was even more eager to be improved.

Silently following at the end, his scorpion-like vicious gaze glared at Jiang Long’s back.

No matter how much unwillingness and resentment he had, he had to succumb and listen to Jiang Long.

Because he clearly knew that although he and Jiang Long were both ability users in the four-person group, Jiang Long had never taken him seriously, let alone listened to his opinions.
