The bizarre transformations occurring in Xu Haishui’s body not only made him more cautious and suspicious, but also greedier. Although his purposes were already achieved, he just couldn’t let a chance to survive slip away from his eyes!
He constantly wanted Tang Ye to develop an interest in the "source entity," but the hope ahead remained bleak.
He had the ability to arrange everything, and of course, he clearly understood that it was unwise to make a move against Su Sigui now; Tang Ye himself was no fool. A simple two or three sentences would not easily lead him to clash head-on with Su Sigui.
Nowadays, even Su Sigui dared to give away the Divine God Armor, making it not hard to guess the Divine Rain Project was her reverse scale!
Whoever touched it was dood!
Of course, Tang Ye also wanted to save Xu Haishui, but... he was helpless, unless from the start he chose to coldly stand by and protect his own territory.
"According to the information I gathered, before the Apocalypse, soone conducted a human experint on her, allowing her to perfectly avoid the influences of anti-human substances and even use them for herself. This was the key reason that the Rester evolved to Level 9, aning, soone had already foreseen it before the Apocalypse ca."
"So what then? Did you find the reason?" Tang Ye shook his head after hearing this, it turned out to be exactly the kind of answer he had thought of. Xu Haishui was taken aback for a mont, frowned, then probed after a pause, "Aren’t you even a little curious about the cause of the Apocalypse?"
Tang Ye pursed his lips; to say he wasn’t curious would be a lie. There were no signs before the Apocalypse ca, and even traversing tilines had happened, what else could be impossible?
Was all of this caused by humans? Or was it a conspiracy of an alien civilization? Or were there really bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods in this world?
It’s not that he didn’t trust Xu Haishui. After all, Su Sigui’s influence was right there, and even she couldn’t find anything conclusive. How much could Xu Haishui, who was going alone, actually know?
However, speaking of the cause of the Apocalypse, it seed Su Sigui did not tell him much at the ti. Although he didn’t care about the cause of the Apocalypse back then, when things happened in the future that were out of his control, he had to at least know sothing, right?
So Tang Ye asked: "How much do you know compared to Su Sigui?"
Hearing this, Xu Haishui shook his head and responded to Tang Ye: "What I know is no more than what Su Sigui knows. Everything I know was stolen from the Municipal Governnt Archive. Many clues concerning that Level 9 Rester have been cut off. Those who might know the ins and outs died many years ago, the only route to seeking clues is through investigating the father of that Level 9 Rester."
"Chen Bieli’s father..." Tang Ye tapped the sofa with his fingers, curious and strange, continued to ask: "Who was his father?"
"He was one of the senior executives of the Gene Technology Company, which was the predecessor of the Hidden Dragon Club." This answer made Tang Ye raise an eyebrow. This made the suspicion quite large, and he almost instinctively regarded that company as the culprit for the outbreak of the Apocalypse, but then thought carefully, why would they do this for no reason?
Moreover, before the Apocalypse, did humanity have the technological capability to artificially create a rainstorm that could cover the globe?
"Is her father still alive?"
"No," Xu Haishui shook his head, "He died without a complete body many years ago. The one active in the outside world now is his clone, which was the original Order Guardian."
"Order Guardian?" This answer made Tang Ye suddenly freeze, dazed for a while, and his reaction was rather unexpected, causing Xu Haishui to frown upon seeing this scene.
"Hmm... weird..." he sighed inwardly but showed nothing on his face.
"What’s the matter?"
"The Order Guardian you’re talking about, is it the original, pure Order Guardian?" It wasn’t long before Tang Ye seed to be confirming sothing, asking, but as he posed this question, his heart was filled with anxiety, hoping it wouldn’t be the possibility he thought it was!
Xu Haishui couldn’t fathom why Tang Ye suddenly asked this question. He glanced in Hu Ji’s direction, and seeing that the opposite side had cald down, he no longer paid attention to this side. Finally, he nodded his heavy head towards Tang Ye.
Things seed to be developing in an unforeseen direction for him...
"Yes..."
And with this nod, Tang Ye’s expression turned odd; he soon lowered his voice and asked, "What is her father’s na?"
"Ning Tianlang."
"..." At that mont, the hall beca terrifyingly quiet.
Xu Haishui couldn’t even hear his heartbeat from nothingness to existence anymore, there was only Tang Ye’s heavy breathing. This Zombie King seed to be suppressing sothing, trying to force himself to stay calm.
"How many children did he have?"
"... Not sure, it seems just one..."
"..."
"And the final question, why does his daughter have the surna Chen?"
"Chen Bieli is just an alias..."
"Her real na."
"Ning Yu’er..."
By this ti, the previous nonchalance on Tang Ye’s face had vanished without a trace, and no one could see what expression he was wearing. The air returned to the suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere it had started with.
He fell completely silent, finally understanding all the strange expressions and inexplicable actions he had encountered with Chen Bieli in the past.
Everyone present realized sothing was off but didn’t dare break the atmosphere. None of them were fools; they could clearly see Tang Ye was in a strange state but couldn’t figure out why for the mont, so they had to wait.
Xu Haishui’s body was sowhat stiff too, and compared to the four brothers not far from him, he was under greater pressure!
Recalling what he had said earlier, it seed he hadn’t said anything that would anger Tang Ye. So it might only co down to one thing: sothing he accidentally ntioned that was important to Tang Ye.
Order Guardian?
No, the Order Guardian hadn’t interacted with them much, but they were familiar too.
Ning Tianlang?
Maybe there’s so relation, but still, not quite it.
Ning Yu’er...
Xu Haishui lowered his head, his face cloaked in a layer of shadow, a strange smile vaguely visible.
The atmosphere stayed oppressively tense, even the four zombies beside him started to feel uncomfortable. Since knowing Tang Ye, this was the first ti seeing him like this, which filled them with unease. After not long, Chu Zha cautiously called out to Tang Ye, "Boss?"
Tang Ye wasn’t completely lost. Hearing soone call him, he turned his head and looked briefly, but stood up silently.
"Go contact others, prepare for a confrontation with Su Sigui."
"Huh? Why suddenly like this?"
"I need to save soone. If Su Sigui cooperates, it’ll be as if nothing happened. If not..." Tang Ye paused, said nothing more, shook his clothes, and walked out the door.
