Chapter 177 I'm Really Not a Scoundrel



Moreover, everyone in the team had overheard their conversation. If Su Lin cared about this, he would have asked in person long ago, without needing Jia Zhengyi's help.

"Brother, my analysis last time was indeed correct."

Xiao Linlin lowered her voice and looked at the two big men in front of her: "Wang Dalu is indeed hiding something. He has methods other than the usual ways to avoid punishment for failure. I guess... his logistics level should be quite high, at least in the first tier of the entire system."

"Um."

Su Lin glanced up at Wang Dalu, then continued to peruse the Foundation Establishment Manual in his hand.

He had anticipated this; everyone in this world has their own secrets, and many secrets are not worth delving into.

Even if someone like Darren Wang knows his secret, what difference does it make?

This kind of stubborn person is worthless if you force him to reveal his secrets; it will only cause trouble and isn't worth it.

Jia Zhengyi, however, was very curious, and the two were still whispering to each other: "Dalu, will your escape this time be successful or a failure?"

"I don't know, I'm just taking a chance, I don't care about success or failure."

"You're talking nonsense. You've already met my boss, how could you possibly fail this time?"

"Um... I encountered it last time too, but I couldn't escape."

Wang Dalu scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He didn't want to bring up what happened last time. He gave the map to Su Lin, but now he didn't have a map himself and couldn't find an escape route.

"That's your own problem, it's definitely not my boss's fault."

Jia Zhengyi patted Wang Dalu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You met a powerful figure and still failed. Look for your own problems. You couldn't even seize such a good opportunity."

"Yes, yes, Commander Jia is right."

Wang Dalu nodded repeatedly, making Jia Zhengyi overjoyed.

At this moment, Xiao Linlin's voice came through the headset: "Brother Jia, if we calculate based on a full match lasting 10 days, and also consider the monthly promotion matches, we can only have three full-time matches each month."

"I just discussed it with my brother. We spent too long in the waiting area last time. We probably won't be able to continue two full-time escape matches before the next promotion."

"Therefore, in these two matches, we must clear one quickly so as not to delay the next promotion match."

"As for this world... I don't think it's suitable for me to stay here for long. What do you think, Brother Jia?"

Xiao Linlin asked, and Jia Zhengyi understood what she meant. He looked around at the dark underground world and, considering that it was a technologically advanced and dangerous world with little oxygen, he figured there wouldn't be much spiritual energy left.

This place is clearly unsuitable for cultivating immortality, let alone staying for long.

"I think so too. This round should be completed quickly, within 10 days."

After adjusting his headset and replying, Jia Zhengyi patted Wang Dalu on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to the surface and build an oxygen-generating core."

"Huh, go straight to the surface?"

Wang Dalu was taken aback and couldn't help but shout a reminder: "Brother! These creatures can be found in the shallow waters. We don't need to go to the surface. Even just going to a place slightly closer to the surface would be fine. It's too dangerous up there!"

"What's there to be cowardly about? The top fan will carry you, just relax and enjoy the ride."

Jia Zhengyi sneered and waved his hand with an air of bravado: "March at full speed!"

At Jia Zhengyi's command, a low chant of magic came from the center of the group, and waves of magical energy quickly enveloped the entire group, greatly increasing the movement speed of the followers.

The elves, like ghosts in the night, whistled through the darkness like the wind.

While applying medicine to himself, Jia Zhengyi followed closely behind, saying, "Wang Dalu, keep up!"

"Too fast! Too fast!"

Wang Dalu yelled and took off running after them, shouting, "Bro! Slow down, how come you guys are so fast!"

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. If you can't keep up, find a place to hide."

After Jia Zhengyi finished speaking, he ignored him and focused intently on running.

Don't even mention Wang Dalu thinking it's fast. Jia Zhengyi has been training for so long, and with the physical qualities and fighting skills of an intermediate knight, he can barely keep up with the team's speed.

If we talked to Wang Dalu any longer, he might get left behind.

As the group marched at high speed, they soon followed the road marked on the map and headed upwards.

The closer you get to the surface, the more difficult the roads become, and the surrounding area is almost deserted. Occasionally, there are elite human teams armed with technological weapons stationed and patrolling nearby, but they are all shielded from detection by concealment magic, and the teams easily break into smaller groups and pass through silently.

After bypassing these human guards, the road became increasingly narrow, and after ten minutes, the road ahead was completely blocked!

An extremely thick steel gate blocked their way. Su Lin reached out and touched it, then looked at Xiao Linlin: "It's at least five meters thick, and there's another gate in front of it, with no gaps at all."

Su Lin could sense that the entire road ahead was blocked by a pure alloy metal gate, stretching for at least several thousand meters.

It seems that the underground humans are indeed very well-prepared, having built almost an entire underground Great Wall, isolating them from everything on the surface.

"If this place is blocked, then it seems that other places are blocked as well."

Xiao Linlin was deep in thought when laughter came from the back of the group: "Hey, why are you running so fast? I was just thinking that there was definitely no road ahead."

Everyone turned around and saw Wang Dalu, panting, following them out of the darkness. He smiled and explained, "I know this place. The locals call it the Wall of Fearlessness. It's made of pure alien technology using molten metal. They say it's incredibly powerful! It's been protecting the underground humans for many years!"

"Although it looks airtight, there are actually secret passages that require a password to pass through."

"However, the road to the surface is reserved by humanity for future counterattacks. Ordinary people do not know about it and have no way to use it. It requires authorization from multiple high-ranking members of the alliance to open. Its level of secrecy is equivalent to that of Earth's nuclear bomb."

Wang Dalu explained, and Jia Zhengyi parted the crowd, looking at him with some surprise: "You kid... you actually caught up? You're pretty nimble on your feet!"

Jia Zhengyi had noticed that Wang Dalu was following the group at a distance. He thought the kid might fall behind at any time, but he didn't expect him to catch up so quickly and not be left behind.

"Brother, I already told you I'm not a scoundrel, I have some skills."

Wang Dalu smiled smugly, then sighed, "It's a pity you didn't let me finish. Now... we have to go back. If we want to go to the surface, we need to find a way to contact the local alliance organization first."

Before he could finish his sentence, his gaze suddenly went straight ahead, his mouth gaped open silently, and his face was filled with terror.

"Holy crap? Holy crap! What is she doing?!"
