TSIAGBICATMWI Chapter 84

Chapter 84: Court Death

“Don’t we both know it? After saying so much, don’t deceive yourself. You’re someone who’s walked through the early days of the apocalypse step by step. You can’t not know that if Luo Shuyou awakened his abilities before being bitten, then those low-level zombies’ bites in the early days wouldn’t have given him a chance to relapse.”

Lu Yunzhou adopted a rather aggressive stance. He wanted Xie YunChuan to face reality, he wanted to strike at Xie YunChuan, why was he always so successful and smooth-sailing?

This was a typical case of turning a blind eye to others’ suffering, while being green with envy at their success.

Thinking of Luo Shuyou’s specialness, Lu Yunzhou couldn’t deny that Luo Shuyou was likely among the first to awaken abilities in the apocalypse.

But so what? What he was saying was all well-founded. Luo Shuyou wouldn’t be so easily cured, and whether he could be cured at all was another matter.

Anyway, from what he knew, Cheng Xie’s research was all about treating those infected before zombification. He hadn’t heard of him catching a zombie to try and restore it to a human.

Lu Yunzhou might have completely forgotten by now what caused Luo Shuyou to become like this, or perhaps he remembered, but his conscience was gone, his sense of morality was low, and he didn’t feel it was his fault at all. His few remaining feelings of shame had vanished.

Xie YunChuan had always been the one who understood Luo Shuyou’s condition best. Even though he had many unanswered questions and many conclusions were just guesses, he thought clearly and was open-minded. He wouldn’t be provoked or lose faith by Lu Yunzhou’s words.

Patting the non-existent dust on his thigh, perhaps just feeling unlucky, Xie YunChuan stood up and said, “Finished? If you’re finished, please leave. Goodbye, and don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”

Whether it was true or not, useful or useless, finding Cheng Xie to get to the bottom of it was what mattered. He didn’t need Lu Yunzhou to lecture him at length about how Luo Shuyou was so different from others, how difficult it would be to recover.

Lu Yunzhou feigned concern and said, “Don’t blame me for hitting you hard, I just don’t want you to be full of hope and then be met with despair. Saying this is to prepare you mentally, it’s for your own good.”

Xie YunChuan nodded earnestly, “Yes, I accept your kindness, you can leave.”

Lu Yunzhou felt like he had punched cotton. Xie YunChuan was completely unaffected, making him look like a clown.

He coughed a few times, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said weakly, “Considering I’ve told you so much, can you have your White Tiger Cub help me again? I can’t move at all now.”

Xie YunChuan coldly retorted, “Every time you want me to save you, you always add the premise that you helped me before. If you want an equal exchange, you should weigh the value of the two times I saved you.

You want to feel at ease and believe we’re even, I don’t mind, because I don’t expect you to be of any use to me, but that’s not a reason for you to take an inch and want a mile.”

After that speech, even Lu Yunzhou’s face, which had been thickened through practice, couldn’t help but blush.

Indeed, he knew he was quite shameless, but what could he do?

He knew Xie YunChuan’s character. He had never seen him meddle in things out of compassion. Calling him cold-blooded was even flattering him.

Except for things related to Luo Shuyou, you couldn’t see a trace of human warmth in him.

He couldn’t understand how he could be so devoted to Luo Shuyou, living and dying for him. It was simply a bug in his emotionless machine!

“If I don’t emphasize these things, would you save me?” If he didn’t show a little leverage, he might already be a cold corpse.

Xie YunChuan said decisively, “No!”

Lu Yunzhou sneered, “Then guess why I emphasized it?”

Since they had already laid everything out on the table, Lu Yunzhou no longer acted submissively. He wasn’t a completely shameless person, or rather, he cared about his reputation more than anyone, but if he cared about his reputation, he couldn’t care about his life!

In a life-or-death situation, what did it matter to be a little thick-skinned?

Xie YunChuan smiled, using the same rhetoric to answer him, “Then guess if I will save you?”

Lu Yunzhou looked up at Xie YunChuan, sneering, “Heh! Healing ability plus a special infected body, guess how many people will ‘like’ your Luo Shuyou?”

Not to mention anyone far away, just that madman Cheng Xie, Lu Yunzhou believed that compared to Lin Yi, he would be a thousand times, ten thousand times more interested in Luo Shuyou. That was a truly one-in-a-million experimental subject.

Not to mention that Xie YunChuan had a White Tiger Cub with the ability to purify zombie poison, and himself, his powerful strength meant a high-level crystal core. Although Xie YunChuan was indeed difficult to kill, killing him would yield more than just a little benefit. Someone would always weigh the pros and cons and make a different choice.

This threat was blatant, without any concealment.

Unfortunately, Xie YunChuan didn’t seem threatened, but asked with some sigh, “How did you become like this?”

Lu Yunzhou: “Is it strange?”

“No!”

“It’s just… I thought you could hold on a little longer.” To let himself live a little longer.

Lu Yunzhou sneered, “You haven’t changed at all.” He hadn’t realized Xie YunChuan’s killing intent, thinking that threatening him with Luo Shuyou would at least make Xie YunChuan save him.

He wasn’t asking for much, just a simple matter, Xie YunChuan wouldn’t lose anything.

He just wanted Xie YunChuan to move his mouth, to say a few words so the White Tiger Cub could save him. Why was it so difficult?

“Don’t worry, as long as you let the White Tiger Cub save me, you don’t need to completely cure me, just make me able to move freely, and I will definitely keep it a secret, I guarantee I won’t mention anything about Luo Shuyou or you. You know, Luo Shuyou was troubled because of me, I really don’t want to hurt him.

And I will definitely repay you in the future. Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, how do you know you won’t have to ask me one day?”

He even had the nerve to mention the matter of Luo Shuyou being burdened by him. That was the thing Xie YunChuan regretted most in his life, but Lu Yunzhou proudly regarded it as one of the bargaining chips to persuade Xie YunChuan.

Lu Yunzhou didn’t know that the moment he mentioned Luo Shuyou, in Xie YunChuan’s mind, he was already a dead man.

Xie YunChuan was too kind to him, making him think that Xie YunChuan simply not saving him and wanting him to fend for himself was some kind of outrageous injustice.

He probably forgot that now Xie YunChuan could kill him with just a flick of his finger.

As long as he died, then all the threats in his mouth would disappear, and he would also eliminate this ticking time bomb who knew all of Luo Shuyou’s secrets.

Silently watching Lu Yunzhou still babbling, looking at the energy accumulating in his palm, Xie YunChuan’s eyes darkened:

What to do? It seems like Lu Yunzhou must die!

Humph!
