TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Exploding to Death

Lu Yunzhou watched the crowd of foolish people arguing below from the distant watchtower with great interest. He was one of the insiders.

Or, to put it another way, he had orchestrated this farce.

After leaving Xie YunChuan’s house that day, he discovered that Baihu Cub not only allowed him to walk freely as Xie YunChuan had said, but it also helped him heal all the internal injuries and hidden ailments in his body.

Lu Yunzhou, who originally planned to find a place to hide and wait for his injuries to heal before leaving the base, immediately changed his plan. He would not forget his deep hatred.

He could not forget the despair when he was caught by Lin Yi while trying to escape, nor could he forget Lin Yan’s contemptuous gaze when he begged Lin Yan to heal his injuries more thoroughly while covered in blood. Even more so, he could not forget Cheng Xie’s smiling face every time he suffered torment from Cheng Xie’s casually spoken words.

So he chose to stay. He wanted to destroy the base, destroy everyone in the base. This hell on earth disguised as a human sanctuary should not exist. Let him be the good person who eliminates evil.

He hadn’t expected things to develop so simply to the point they were now. It was as if even the heavens were helping him. Overnight, the two most important leaders of the base were either dead or missing. Lu Yunzhou only needed to fan the flames a little. In this end of the world already filled with panic, the base, filled with oppression and bullying, was nothing more than a pile of loose sand.

Go out, all of you go out. The starving zombie army outside is waiting for delicious food to be delivered to their door for a feast. Ha!

What’s strange is that Lu Yunzhou searched everywhere but couldn’t find Lin Yi and Lin Yan. Had Cheng Xie used them up and then disposed of the bodies?

Yesterday, eager for revenge, Lu Yunzhou disguised himself and sneaked into the leader’s house to gather information, wanting to see what kind of ruthless character this base leader was.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he heard that Fan Liangchang was about to level up. Lu Yunzhou was secretly alarmed. If he remembered correctly, Fan Liangchang had been a Level 2 ability user a long time ago.

Level 2 ability users were already very powerful. Currently, there were only two or three people in the base who had advanced to become Level 1 ability users. They had only heard that the base leader was a Level 2 ability user, but they had never witnessed the power of Level 2.

Now, leveling up again meant becoming Level 3. How powerful would that be? Xie YunChuan was probably only Level 2 now, and he was already that strong. How terrifying would Level 3 be?

Lu Yunzhou felt that his previous plan to destroy the base should be adapted to the circumstances. Otherwise, he would be digging his own grave.

After hearing this news, he originally wanted to leave and stay far away from this place of trouble. A gentleman takes revenge; ten years is not too late. He would come back later and settle accounts with these people one by one.

Suddenly, he thought of the method of ability level up that he had previously used to deceive Xie YunChuan. Now, Fan Liangchang was not only leveling up in the base, but also said that he was looking for Cheng Xie to protect him?

Wasn’t that completely unrelated to the level up method he had mentioned before? Was his deduction wrong? But according to what Cheng Xie had said to him, the difference shouldn’t be so great, right?

Fortune favors the bold. Since he was already here, Lu Yunzhou decided he had to see what this advancement method was like. After all, he had to level up if he wanted to become stronger. This method was worth the risk.

Lu Yunzhou thought that as long as he didn’t use his abilities easily, he shouldn’t be noticed, right? He secretly warned himself to just take a look, see what was going on, and then retreat quickly before Fan Liangchang broke through.

At first, everything was normal. Fan Liangchang was absorbing crystal cores. The only special thing might be that the colors of his more than a dozen colorful crystal cores were too diverse.

Without needing to get close to feel it, Lu Yunzhou could tell just by looking at the shimmering crystal cores from afar that they were not zombie crystal cores.

Zombie crystal cores only produce one color—blood red, except that the color depth varies depending on the level of the crystal core.

Since they weren’t zombie crystal cores, then they were ability users’ crystal cores. There was no other possibility. Lu Yunzhou cursed in his heart. How many ability users had Fan Liangchang, this conscienceless bastard, harmed?

No wonder people came and went, day and night, no matter how many new people came to the base, no matter how much time passed, there were always only a few ability users in the base. It turned out he was precisely “controlling” the number.

…

He didn’t get to see the legendary Level 3 ability user. It wasn’t because Lu Yunzhou, as he had said, had stopped when he saw the opportunity and controlled his curiosity to run away quickly, but because the person who was originally going to level up… exploded?!

Exploded in the literal sense…!

When a little blood splashed onto Lu Yunzhou’s face as he hid in the corner, Lu Yunzhou was frightened silly. Fan Liangchang had just been absorbing the energy in the crystal cores normally, so how did he suddenly explode?

His body was smashed to pieces. Not even a complete eyeball could be found.

Shock, fear, joy—all kinds of emotions flooded his mind at once. Suppressing his heavy breathing, Lu Yunzhou’s heart pounded, unable to calm down for a long time.

The only person unaffected at the scene was Cheng Xie. There wasn’t a trace of scarlet on his snow-white robe. Lu Yunzhou saw clearly that Cheng Xie was the closest when Fan Liangchang exploded. The tables, chairs, and benches in the entire room were overturned and shattered by the bursting energy.

The two guards at the door were also overturned into the corner, covered in scattered blood and flesh.

Only Cheng Xie was not only unharmed but his clothes were still fluttering as usual.

His remaining plan to tear Cheng Xie into pieces had to change again. He couldn’t afford to provoke him, he couldn’t afford to provoke him. This old man only looked harmless on the surface.

Lu Yunzhou didn’t even want to provoke Lin Yi and Lin Yan, who were following Cheng Xie. Anyway, it was his own grudge. The premise of revenge was to live. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be a painful torture revenge but a vendetta. If he died, no one would remember to avenge him.

The only thing that remained intact after the explosion was the crystal core in Fan Liangchang’s body. Lu Yunzhou originally thought he could pick up a bargain, but regrettably, Cheng Xie took it away in the blink of an eye.

Even if he didn’t blink, he wouldn’t dare to snatch something from that demon!

This old man, even as he was leaving, didn’t forget to take the crystal core. He was so vicious and powerful, did he lack one or two crystal cores? Didn’t he know to leave them behind to benefit others and redeem himself?

With such deep sins, wouldn’t he be able to sleep at night? Dog thing, worse than a beast, may zombies devour you, old and immortal…

Lu Yunzhou cursed heartily in his heart, giving himself a good scolding. The chaotic emotions unconsciously calmed down.

The corner of Cheng Xie’s mouth twitched, twitched, and twitched again. Helplessly, he turned his head and said to the void, “Stop cursing. You finally got out, so do less things that court death. The next person you meet might not be as good-tempered as me.”

After saying that, he left without stopping.
