There were many unexpected events on this journey, and she had to postpone some things and change the route. Although she could delegate the orders to others, there were some things that Shiyin wanted to keep to ensure everything went smoothly.
"Of course, I think so too. Those people are very cautious and should have anticipated that they would be tracked after launching their missiles." Helmod replied quickly, as if he had expected Shion's answer.
[But that prison had a metal content of 70%, and the memory of metal is much clearer than that of soil and rock. Perhaps we could ask those mute friends what they saw?]
"Don't you think so, my dear lady?"
Shi Yin: "..."
Shi Yin frowned and leaned back in her chair, tapping the table lightly with her fingertips as Helmod's gaze became increasingly rapid.
"There's a high probability we won't gain anything extra." Shi Yin sighed softly, and Helmod could tell that Shi Yin had already compromised.
"It would be strange if those people could easily reveal their external features; you'd better not get your hopes up."
Those who are united yet suspicious of one another.
You say that the people in the New World are not united, are fighting amongst themselves, and are suspicious of each other? They all yearn for the New World, and their fanaticism for it has reached an absurd level.
You might say they're united and friendly, but they never show their true selves to others, not even their companions. They always communicate through codes, sign language, and secret phrases.
They were so well-armored that even animals couldn't tell what kind of strange creature they were.
Shi Yin has looked through many people's memories and rarely found any flaws. If you follow a path, you will always break off at some point in the middle.
"Okay, I'll make time to go." Shi Yin was silent for a while before agreeing: "Has anyone ever told you that you're much tougher than them?"
Helmod appears to be the most composed and easy-going, but in reality, he is the most ruthless and will not give up until he achieves his goal.
Every conversation felt like a negotiation; he would meticulously organize all the clues and reasons, his words and tone exuding a sense of pressure.
Shi Yin not only had a cooperative relationship with him, but was also a guarantor. Almost every request Helmod made could not be refused by Shi Yin.
"Don't be discouraged. The five of us are one, aren't we?" Helmod smiled confidently. "You and Agarai are both too complacent. It's a pity. We must strive for each other's aspirations."
"Make the pinhole thermostat as soon as possible and explain the principle clearly." Shi Yin tapped the table lightly with her knuckles. She didn't like the feeling of having her initiative taken away: "I can't control you, but all the soldiers of Yanlong Kingdom must be equipped with this before the cold wave arrives."
"Of course, I will do my best." Helmod readily agreed. "It's already in the experimental phase."
"Oh, and also, Agare will probably come looking for you, and might even go with you." Helmod continued, as if remembering something. "Milica got into some trouble and plans to leave for a while, letting those people think he's gone to lure them into a trap."
Coming here is the most convenient option, since you can send him back anytime.
What is this? Are you using her as a teleportation portal?
"You guessed?" Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.
[This is called reasoning, and my accuracy rate is very high.] Helmod expressed his dissatisfaction with Tokine's choice of words: [You can't use such a vague word to describe your brains.]
In short, please keep up the good work this time, and I hope you can bring me more of the truth about the world.
Helmod smiled with satisfaction, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable longing and madness.
“If you hadn’t made that choice, you would actually be a very competent villain.” Shi Yin said helplessly, “I always felt that you chose the wrong side.”
[Same here. It's a pity you gave up on becoming a zombie. Actually, I personally think the new world would be perfect for you.]
“Perhaps you’re right.” Shi Yin rubbed her temples, surprisingly not refuting Helmod’s words: “But I think being a villain would be more conducive to your performance. You’re my biggest problem.”
"I have to admit, being the villain was definitely a lot of fun," Helmod said with a laugh. "I still vividly remember the scene where you cut my 999 lives down to one."
Therefore, I still believe that going against you is not a good choice.
"It can't compare to your mechanical ascension." Shi Yin smiled, making a rare, playful remark.
Okay, I will keep track of your updates. I hope you won't blame me for occasionally intruding on your privacy. I apologize in advance.
I hope everything goes well from now on. Good luck to you all.
As Helmod finished speaking, he seemed to reach out and press something to the side. Immediately afterward, the holographic projection disappeared, and the black square instrument on the desk also went dark.
Black Bat Heavy Duty Prison?
As the holographic projection turned off, Shi Yin's brows furrowed slightly.
It was not surprising to Tokine that the mastermind chose them as scapegoats and used heavy weapons to attack them.
The neutral forces that were exiled were actually among the worst off. Black Bat might not even be considered a rebel; it would be more accurate to say he was coerced or subjugated.
Those behind the scenes are all exceptionally skilled and powerful. Judging from their equipment and command structure, they are clearly part of a sizable nation.
Although working for them carries the risk of being abandoned or discarded as a pawn at any time, there are ultimately powerful figures backing you up.
Like the villains in some books, they always have the right to be arrogant and act recklessly until they are killed by the heroes.
Needless to say, the countries led by the righteous faction were even more formidable. The Five Knights dispersed downwards, forming a pyramid-shaped protective zone, which was teeming with experts.
Therefore, these neutral people who were exiled were very pitiful.
They had no resources whatsoever, so they had to build skyscrapers from scratch.
In the apocalypse, no one is easy to reason with. If you don't do well, you might get confiscated or robbed. And not many people are in the mood to reason with you.
Want to experience what it's like to be surrounded by a massive army in the early days of the apocalypse before you've even established a foothold?
Shi Yin has experienced this before.
Shi Yin, who used to be a lone wolf, killed people and stole the system before building his own shelter. He made too much of a fuss and was surrounded by zombies one afternoon.
A dense, seemingly endless horde of berserkers and manipulators; countless lurking figures hidden in the shadows, undetectable to ordinary people; and even more advanced zombies…
Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he would have a piece of his flesh torn off before he could leave.
An apocalypse that wasn't prevented beforehand is far too terrifying; the old world simply couldn't withstand it.
It can still be said that the old world and the new world are clashing now, with the old world having a slight advantage. But back then, there was no such thing as an old world.
They were nothing more than remnants of a fallen nation, desperately searching among the ruins for their kind whose chances of survival were slim.
