The three people at the very back of the group were the three leaders of the Advanced Alliance: Chen Zhou, the middle-aged merchant, and Tie Dao.
Unbeknownst to them, the three had long since become the core of the advanced alliance.
Needless to say, the middle-aged merchants and the railway workers had led the Advanced Alliance through the tenth floor for a long time. Chen Zhou, on the other hand, had made such a great contribution to the Advanced Alliance not long after he entered, not only leading the Advanced Alliance to the ninth floor, but also leading it to the eighth floor.
If we really have to rank them by merit, Chen Zhou is probably the one who has made the greatest contribution to the Advanced Alliance.
It not only became the wish of the Advanced Alliance, but also accomplished what many in the Advanced Alliance wanted to do.
Therefore, Chen Zhou, along with the middle-aged merchant and Tie Dao, became leaders of the Advanced Alliance. Although no one said it, they had already accepted Chen Zhou in their hearts, and Tie Dao was already being groomed by Chen Zhou to be the next leader of the Advanced Alliance.
He had long wanted to hand over the Advanced Alliance to Chen Zhou, because Chen Zhou's strength and abilities far surpassed his own.
That's why he saw the best candidate for the next leader of the Advanced Alliance, and that's why he made the choice to select someone to cover the rear.
The decision to have someone cover the rear was indeed beyond everyone's imagination. However, no one thought of it that way; they were all focused on how to escape the demonic energy as quickly as possible. So only Chen Zhou and the middle-aged merchant noticed it, but the middle-aged merchant didn't think of it, while Chen Zhou did.
So it seems that only Chen Zhou knows what the railway is thinking.
"You know what I'm going to do?" Tie Dao asked. Tie Dao had never mentioned his plans before, so how did Chen Zhou know? Was he trying to trick him into revealing his thoughts?
“Your actions clearly show that you’re trying to cover the retreat for the Advanced Alliance so they can have more time to move forward and buy more time. You want to be the one struck by lightning next, don’t you?” Chen Zhou said.
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, the middleman's expression changed drastically; the railway actually thought that way.
Tie Dao nodded slowly and replied, "You're absolutely right. That's exactly what I was thinking. I want to do something for the Advanced Alliance. Besides, I'm not of much use to the Advanced Alliance anymore. Once I reach the eighth level, my strength will be very low. I don't think I can lead the Advanced Alliance to higher levels, but you can."
“That’s a completely irresponsible idea,” the middle-aged vendor said.
“You are the leader of the Advanced Alliance. Everyone recognizes you and respects you as their leader, not because of your strength or ability, but because of the bond they have with the Alliance. They trust you. If you go there now, the Advanced Alliance may cease to exist,” the middle-aged merchant continued.
The middle-aged merchant was absolutely right. The reason this Advanced Alliance was united was entirely because of Tie Dao. Everyone was gathered together because of him. If he were to die, the Advanced Alliance would most likely disintegrate as soon as they reached the eighth level. That is, assuming they could even reach the eighth level.
"What did you say?" The railway worker clearly did not believe what the middle-aged merchant was saying.
“I’m absolutely right,” the middle-aged vendor said.
Then the middle-aged vendor thought for a moment and continued, "You should think this over carefully! Now is definitely not the time for you to be individualistic and sacrifice yourself."
After the middle-aged vendor finished speaking, the railway immediately fell silent.
But at that moment, the vortex of demonic energy behind them began to churn, and the lightning roared even louder.
The group decided
A series of crackling sounds came from behind. But no one turned around; they were afraid that if they did, the lightning would strike them.
Meanwhile, the three leaders were still in the rear.
The railway did not choose to catch up immediately.
"Since I have chosen to cover the rear, I will definitely do so," the railway worker said slowly.
That's just how the railway is.
Then the lightning bolts grew larger and larger, but they were almost fully charged and would soon unleash their attack.
No one knew who this lightning would strike. But the man in front felt increasingly safe, because the three leaders of the Advanced Alliance were behind him.
"Bang bang bang..."
Recently, the lightning behind them violently condensed into streaks, now exceeding the range of the demonic energy vortex. Chen Zhou initially thought this lightning would strike them, but it was merely a prelude; the lightning would only grow larger as it was unleashed. At this moment, the lightning was still far from being able to reach them.
The distance of the lightning will increase as you go further back.
That is the lightning that eventually comes into being.
That lightning will eventually strike someone.
"You two hurry up and get ahead. I'll stay at the back so as not to endanger you two," Chen Zhou from the railway team said.
"I have entrusted the Advanced Alliance to the two of you. You two must take good care of it for me. Even if the Advanced Alliance eventually falls apart as you said, I hope you can rebuild its glory." Tie Dao said.
Upon entering this magical city, Railway Flower's biggest concern was the Advanced Alliance, but she couldn't let go of it.
He was even willing to do anything for the Advanced Alliance, such as sacrificing his life for it.
He had already witnessed the glory of the Advanced Alliance, and he was already very satisfied to have fought alongside 90% of the army in Shanghai to obtain half of the land certificate for the ninth floor. So he had no regrets about dying.
