If there’s anything that could allow Du Ping to survive the sudden rocket attack, then hiding underground seems to be the only choice.
Even if he were the fastest sprinter in the world, under those circumstances, it was absolutely impossible to outrun the range of the bombardnt.
Lin Yue, along with Bai and Little Fierce, approached the towering black smoke column and saw the completely overturned ground and countless body fragnts.
Of course, there were also quite a few Copper Treasure Chests scattered around.
However, the fire here, due to the presence of nurous flammable materials, could not be extinguished.
The heat waves made it impossible for Lin Yue to approach the very edge of the explosion.
But just when he was considering whether to use water to put out these fires or let Bai and Little Fierce gradually spray cold mist, Bai suddenly let out a low growl.
"Gawoo!" It raised its arm, pointing to a position away from the center of the explosion’s smoke column.
Even though that place was also littered with bodies, it was clearly different in so way.
Lin Yue and Bai, along with Little Fierce, circled around, and the Little Ice Lizards also bounced over.
There, was a large rectangular pit that didn’t seem like a product of the rocket’s impact.
Lin Yue felt he had found the right place.
"Bai, are there any human presences below?"
"Gawoo." "Grrr." This ti, both Bai and Little Fierce nodded.
Indeed, they had found the place.
The large rectangular pit was clearly the roof of a shelter, and the power of the rocket had directly collapsed it.
"We need to dig it out. Bai, cool this place down first, and then we’ll dig everything out!"
The subsequent work was straightforward, with machine dogs stepping in, Bai and Little Fierce assisting. After the ice mist drove away the surrounding heat, Lin Yue joined the effort.
Soon, the first level of the shelter was fully excavated, making the next part much simpler.
They only needed to find the entrance going down and proceed bit by bit.
Very soon, they descended several tens of ters underground, and finally, Lin Yue heard roaring sounds coming from below.
After getting Bai and the others ready, Lin Yue suited up with all his protective gear.
Inside, there were two people’s voices. After listening for a while, Lin Yue identified them as an old man and a young man.
The young man was naturally Du Ping, and the old man...
Lin Yue recalled seeing the old man standing next to Du Ping through the Sighting Scope.
"Xiao Liuzi, take everyone and prepare to storm in, control the two people inside imdiately! Bai and Little Fierce, once the people inside stop moving, go seize them both, understand?"
Lin Yue issued the order and also broke open the entrance below!
And then, it was straightforward.
The Little Ice Lizards easily controlled the two people, followed by Bai and Little Fierce grabbing them, pressing them against the wall so they couldn’t move at all.
Then, it was straightforward.
Du Ping cursed incessantly, but Lin Yue was indifferent. The defeated had no chance of escape now, and what remained was interrogation.
It was just as well that both were alive; a pile of mysteries awaited resolution, and if they died, who knew how long it would take to uncover them.
Moreover, knowing the extent of Du Ping’s ability to gather so many Lizardn and beggars here would solve a major puzzle.
However, Lin Yue hadn’t even started questioning before the old man begged for rcy.
"As long as you keep your word, there’s nothing I won’t say!" The old man’s voice lacked any hint of cowardice or fear.
"If you’re straightforward, I’m not the type to dawdle. As long as you tell the truth, I won’t kill you. But if you’re dishonest, don’t bla for not respecting the elderly," Lin Yue assured the old man.
"Ask away, there’s nothing to hide at this point. Life is more important than anything!"
"What’s your na, and how did you know Du Ping? Just tell ," Lin Yue sat down on the sofa, waiting.
"Sun Shuyi, everyone calls Old Sun. The relationship with Du Ping is naturally based on interests."
Old Sun? What a familiar na.
"Interest relationship?"
"Yes, I want your shelter and all your supplies, and he wants your people!"
"Old Sun, you bastard! For survival, you’ll say anything? Even if you tell Lin Yue, he will still kill you!" Du Ping shouted, nearly hysterical!
At the sa ti, Du Ping was frantically calling out to those Executors, but everyone treated him as if he were air.
Even Xing Lingfeng didn’t respond!
"Ignore him, keep talking," Lin Yue remained calm. Du Ping’s reaction was understandable, probably still trying to contact help or sothing.
It’s useless.
If anyone gets close, they’ll imdiately taste bitterness.
Outside, twenty machine dogs were waiting, each ard with two sniper rifles, fully loaded. Additionally, more than four hundred Little Ice Lizards were on standby.
Anyone approaching would be directly eliminated, with no chance of survival.
Whether Lizardn or beggars, none had survived over a minute.
Having dared to co directly here, Lin Yue was well prepared.
However, Old Sun dared to say everything.
Old Sun wanted his shelter and supplies, while Du Ping wanted his people.
But Old Sun didn’t explicitly state Du Ping’s reason, seemingly unaware of it.
"Those Lizardn and beggars, why do they follow your orders? Previously, the siege of my shelter was also under your direction, right?" Lin Yue continued to ask.
"The Lizardn and beggars..." Old Sun coughed, glanced at Du Ping, "They want your gems, Du Ping ntioned..."
"Old Sun, are you out of your mind! You..."
Du Ping tried to say sothing, but his mouth was suddenly stuffed with so cloth or sothing, only able to make muffled sounds in fury.
"Gems... What gems do I have?" Lin Yue imdiately thought about those diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. Did Lizardn value those things that much?
"Du Ping saw a mural in the Underground Ruins, where Lizardn used those gems for sothing. Anyway, it’s very important to the Lizardn, so Du Ping collaborated with them. The Lizardn wanted your gems, so they ca in such numbers; that’s also why yesterday’s events happened,"
Old Sun had his own calculations.
About the Executors, Liu Kai, and others, he wouldn’t speak a word; that mysterious person couldn’t be ntioned either, or even if he escaped, he wouldn’t survive the night.
What Lin Yue wanted to know, as long as it was unimportant, could simply be revealed.
Living a life is better than anything else, isn’t it?
Of course, provided this youngster would let him go.
anwhile, Old Sun opened his system interface, like Du Ping, looking for any chance of survival.
Lin Yue certainly knew what the two were plotting.
"About the gems, I really have no idea. Du Ping, you know this so well, do you have gems?" Lin Yue suddenly turned his head towards Du Ping.
"Mmm mmm mmm!!" Du Ping’s eyes bulged with rage.
"He has one," Old Sun imdiately betrayed Du Ping, "used to summon sothing by the Lizardn, which is why he could use it to... to request reinforcents from the Lizardn and the beggars." Old Sun paused midway.
But Lin Yue read sothing at this mont.
