The apocalypse arrived, and Lin Xi unexpectedly turned into a conscious zombie.
From then on, she embarked on a journey to find her family alongside superpowered companions.
When encoun...
"Still at level six, huh?" Yin said with a smirk, but the smile looked anything but malicious.
His words clearly hurt the others present, after all, none of them had reached level six yet!
He stepped aside to stabilize the situation, saying, "Let's not talk about these things today. The main purpose is to tell everyone about the situation here."
Yin nodded, signaling him to continue.
Yun said, "In general, it is indeed similar to Lin Xi's speculation that day. The person behind the arena wants to expand his power and annex the surrounding land. Now we have received a new mission, which requires us to secretly investigate who this separatist with ulterior motives is, how many weapons he has, and the strength of his core troops."
Lin Xi's eyes widened, unable to believe what she had just heard. "We?"
“Yes, but I believe that since Yin has been infiltrating them for so long, he should have found out some information, right?” Yun looked at Yin, who was still elegant.
“I have indeed met the nine people who attended their board meeting, but they are very wary and always sit wherever they please during meetings. So, I have no idea who the mastermind is.”
Yin looked at Lin Xi and the other two, "You guys need to go through the intermediate level. I'll find a way to get you into the group."
For a moment, the three men looked at each other, none of them agreeing to the offer.
"What? Is there a problem?"
This is a huge problem; they're all prepared to concede defeat and run away after the last two games.
However, the organization has now assigned them a new mission, and it seems they can no longer proceed according to their previous plan.
Seeing their troubled expressions, Yin assumed they were worried about encountering each other on the field, so he comforted them, "I will handle things between them, you won't run into each other."
"Was it because you made a move that we kept avoiding each other?"
Yin nodded. "After the first match, it's all the same."
"Since you recognized us, why didn't you come to us sooner and confess your identity?" Chen Jin was very puzzled by this.
Yin explained, "Firstly, I wanted to assess your strengths and weaknesses, and secondly, I was afraid that if I acted rashly, it might attract the attention of other higher-ups."
Jiang Chuan then asked, "How come you were allowed to come today? Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion?"
“Now that you’ve finished a few matches and your reputation has soared, I’ve come here hoping to win you over. What’s wrong with that?” Yin leaned forward slightly. “As far as I know, Puppet came today, and I expect other high-ranking officials will come looking for you in the next two or three days.”
puppet?
Lin Xi was feeling strange when he suddenly remembered that his father's special ability was puppetry. Was he referring to his father?
After Yin finished speaking, she looked at Lin Xi and said, "Speaking of which, you and the puppet do look somewhat alike."
Lin Xi just smiled and said, "Staying a little longer isn't a bad idea, but is it really necessary to play in the intermediate-level competition?"
"Don't want to fight?" Yin looked at the three of them. "Why?"
Chen Jin sighed, "You know, there are too many people you have to kill to advance from the intermediate level."
He usually knocks people unconscious on the field, but even so, he knows that those people are still doomed to die. Thinking of this, he felt a pang of sadness.
“Sometimes, people have to learn to abandon pity in order to become strong.” After saying that, Yin still compromised. “I’ll think of a way when I get back, but don’t get your hopes up too high.”
Yun nodded. "Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave now. It's not good to stay too long."
“You’re right.” Yin stood up. “But what about you? What are your plans?”
"I'll contact you from here. If there's any unusual activity, we'll be responsible for notifying headquarters and providing support."
Yun had already made his own plans. He couldn't just cram everyone into that area; that would mean losing all his hidden cards.
It just so happens that these few haven't shown their faces much, so it's perfect for them to make this hidden move.
After listening, Yin was about to leave when Lin Xi chased after her, asking, "Are you four members of the Gem Badge group very familiar with each other?"
"fine."
Is there anyone named Lin Wang?
Yin asked in confusion, "What?"
Lin Xi pulled out her phone's photo album and handed it over, "This person."
Yin shook his head after looking at it carefully. "I haven't seen him before, but don't worry. There's a guy who's been wearing a mask ever since we first met. I don't know what he looks like, but looking at this photo, the two of them look quite similar."
After saying this, Yin strode away, leaving Lin Xi standing there, her face pale, her knuckles white from gripping her phone too tightly.
“After today, Lu Nancheng and I will also be moving out. Living with you guys would only make us more vulnerable to being exposed.” Yun made the decision after thinking for a moment.
Chen Jin took out the card and handed it over.
Yun frowned at his honest-looking apprentice. "What are you doing?"
"You probably don't have any money, right?" After saying that, Chen Jin seemed to remember something and quietly put the card back.
Yun shook her head. "If we use your card, what's the point of us moving out?"
"Sorry, I didn't think that far ahead for a moment, but I've realized it now. But what about you guys? They usually don't hire people from other places for regular jobs here. Are you going to go and compete too?"
Yun shook her head and refused him, "I just discussed this matter with Yin privately. He can find a middleman to help me handle it. He can take care of things properly over there, so you don't need to worry about us."
Lin Xi nodded, "That's good."
Upon hearing the news, Cheng Sheng held Lin Xi's hand reluctantly, "Sigh, we have to part again."
Lu Nan also looked at Lin Xi, a helpless smile on his lips.
Lin Xi sighed. She was really lucky to have such a pretty face. Even Lu Nan himself didn't realize that someone as carefree as him would unconsciously show her more concern.
Yun acted quickly and moved out that afternoon. Before leaving, he reminded Lin Xi and the other two, "When you go out, put away the badges and bracelets."
The rented room suddenly became quiet, but since everyone knew each other, they all slumped onto the sofa in perfect unison, while Jiang Chuan remained sitting upright.
"Damn it, we're not going to get out anytime soon." Chen Jin stared blankly at the ceiling. "This mission they're talking about seems pretty dangerous. I hope no one dies."
Jiang Chuan crossed his arms and said, "Since it's a mission, let's do it."
Lin Xi felt as if her soul had been ripped out. The longer her time dragged on, the longer her father would have to stay, which meant their situation would become even more dangerous.
Moreover, even after encountering members of the Windhawk Gang with their gem badges, she still couldn't find out Lin Wang's whereabouts. That brat, where did he run off to? How could he have disappeared without a trace?
