That's too absolute, isn't it?
Lin Beiyue paused for a moment upon hearing this, then raised the badge in her hand, attempting to prove her identity once again.
"We can prove that we are indeed an exploration team officially dispatched by the Yanlong Kingdom. At the very least, we hope that the leader of your sanctuary will negotiate with us." Lin Beiyue shouted loudly, "We can offer whatever you want, including possible future cooperation on weapons and resources."
"Don't come any closer, retreat immediately!" Seeing Lin Beiyue take a step forward, the two men on the watchtower became even more nervous, their hands gripping their guns trembling.
What happened?
Lin Beiyue felt uncertain.
"Team Leader Lin, something's not right." A team member came to Lin Beiyue's side and whispered, "I just used my telescope to explore the surroundings. It seems like they've had a conflict with something, and there are signs of damage around."
This team member's special ability is clairvoyance.
It's not that the second brother in the Seven Calabash Brothers has eyes that can see a thousand miles, but rather that he can make his eyeballs fly out and travel a thousand miles away, making him a true "thousand-mile eye".
This ability is still very useful at the moment. After all, based on the current strength tests, once his eyeballs fly out, he becomes invulnerable to blades and bullets. Moreover, with brain control, he is essentially a humanoid reconnaissance drone.
As long as no one confines his eyeballs in a cage like a bird, there shouldn't be any problems.
Since most human eyeballs are white, his round eyeball flew out and didn't attract any attention in the white snow. However, after observing around the huge wall, he actually found some useful clues.
The walls here clearly show signs of damage, and the snow is littered with the remnants of battle, indicating that Shelter No. 7 here had just resisted the enemy.
And they just happened to arrive at this time, when they were at their most vigilant. Asking them to open the door to welcome guests seemed a bit too much to ask.
High up on the building, three people were looking in this direction from a distance.
"Will this lure them to Shelter No. 8 and turn them against each other?" Helmod, holding a telescope, took in everything. "Isn't it too easy for Guan Nianshan to get away with it after leading them there?"
“Although he likes to have fun, he never goes too far. He’ll watch from the sidelines to make sure Lin Beiyue and the others don’t suffer too much.” Shi Yin sat on the rooftop, looking like a simple spectator.
“He can’t solve it himself, so Changning still has to do it.” Helmod was speechless: “He got off easy, solving things so easily.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Yin snorted softly: "I just fed Chang Ning candy with concentrated blue crystal cores added. Suddenly absorbing concentrated power and leveling up... he should go into a short sleep."
Helmod: "?"
Helmod: "You tricked him!?"
"Hmm." Shi Yin gave a strange smile: "If you want to exploit the information gap with me, of course you'll have to pay a price."
"Then how can you guarantee that Lin Beiyue and the others will definitely go to Shelter No. 8?" Helmod asked doubtfully. "Although Shelter No. 7 is currently on high alert because it was just damaged, going to Shelter No. 8, which is marked as high-risk... is not a wise choice, is it?"
Shi Yin: "It's certainly not a wise choice, but they have morals."
"Huh?" Helmod scratched his head, wondering why he didn't understand.
What does this have to do with morality?
“Right now, Shelter No. 7 is like a frightened bird, both mentally and physically weakened. It would be impolite to force our way in and disturb them.” Shi Yin’s expression was clearly contemptuous: “This is what happens when children haven’t adapted to the apocalypse.”
“…Alright, no wonder you can only be a lone wolf.” Helmod took a deep breath. “I understand what you’re trying to do now. Your plan this time… well, I have no right to say anything to you.”
Shelter No. 8 and Shelter No. 7 are very close, but Shelter No. 6 is the closest to Yanlong, so they settled in Shelter No. 6 first.
As expected, the group began heading towards Shelter No. 8.
They even left behind supplies.
However, the records in the manual gave too many clues to Lin Beiyue and her group's decision. Shelter No. 7 clearly indicated that cooperation was likely, and the female leader's essential characteristic was kindness.
It's always good to leave room for maneuver in the future. This collaboration is definitely going to fall through, but if we leave some benefits now to build rapport, there will still be many opportunities for future cooperation.
Although these words were suggested by Gu Changge.
Qin Jin was somewhat amused and exasperated by this. He had been taking care of Gu Changge since junior high school because she had a difficult past. Therefore, Qin Jin tried his best to compensate her materially, to the point that Gu Changge had no concept of saving and would give her supplies whenever he asked.
However, after sharing some supplies, the people in Shelter No. 7 did relax a bit, and the woman who was leading them also came out; she was also a woman around twenty years old.
The woman looked unwell; she must have been injured. No wonder they refused to open the door at first, no matter what.
If something were to happen to their leader, the shelter would practically be disbanded.
“Choosing to go to Shelter No. 8 is not a good choice.” Shi Yin shook her head slightly as she watched the people getting closer to Shelter No. 8. “Since I marked him as high-risk, why did he receive this honor?”
Beside her, Freya held a notebook with the map that everyone else had.
The shelter above, number 8, contains detailed information about the shelter leader. The words "high-risk" are highlighted in red and clearly stamped with red clay.
Shelter 8: King's Landing Chapter.
Name: Lin Junyan.
Gender: Male.
Age: 22.
Special ability: Weak defense (can be improved), speed (cannot be improved).
Risk level: High.
The area was quiet, with only the sound of snow pattering. If it weren't for the map confirming that they were heading towards Shelter No. 8, everyone would probably have thought it was a deserted place.
"It's so quiet here." Gu Changge rubbed his hands together and breathed out a breath, but since everyone was wearing combat uniforms, the breath was just for psychological comfort.
"Be careful, the more you do this, the more dangerous it might be," Qin Jin couldn't help but warn.
"I know, Uncle." Gu Changge said helplessly, "Sister Beiyue and I both have our own spaces. If all else fails, we can go in and hide. We have plenty of supplies. We're just too tired."
Otherwise, she wouldn't want to go to other people's territory.
In her previous life, Gu Changge and Qin Jin established their own sanctuary, which later developed into a war alliance. Therefore, she was very averse to stepping into someone else's sanctuary.
Qin Jin was alright; he handled most things and often went to cooperate with various battle groups. Gu Changge, as one of the pillars who had always been stationed there, was most reluctant to visit other battle groups.
People like Gu Changge, who always stay behind to lead their own battle groups, generally live a secluded life. If he hadn't made the wrong decision and set his sights on Shi Yin, he wouldn't have lost Qin Jin, one of the pillars of the team, and ultimately suffered a complete wipeout.
