Li Yi, through conversation, gained so understanding of the undead in this world. Strictly speaking, these special individuals with undead status do not possess any Transcendent powers.
They rely acquire so traits of the dead after experiencing death, but are otherwise not much different from ordinary people. They remain quite vulnerable, can be killed by firearms, and cannot achieve immortality.
The only useful thing is that this world needs these undead to communicate with the deceased and handle disasters caused by the dead.
Understanding this, Li Yi lost interest and didn’t want to explore what kind of existence the dead truly are. His stay in this world was short, and as long as these undead could help him deal with that building, it would suffice.
The following evening.
"Mr. Taiyi, the operation in the Huaimu City quarantine area to deal with the dead is scheduled to begin at ten. Would you like to watch the scene?" The minister, nad Wang Jianming, personally ca to inform him around eight o’clock.
"You’re quite punctual. I hope this operation won’t disappoint . After all, you’ve already accepted the benefits. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll be very unhappy."
In the conference room, Li Yi sat on a Xiangyun, flipping through various records regarding the undead incidents.
Through official channels, one can always directly and effectively learn the truth about the undead in this world.
He set down the files in his hand and looked at Wang Jianming.
Wang Jianming, the minister, imdiately straightened his face and said, "Rest assured, Mr. Taiyi, the team of undead deployed for this operation is highly experienced and will surely succeed. Moreover, Commander Zhao Hongjie has used all available forces to ensure nothing goes wrong."
He understood very well that this was not just an operation, but it represented a promise to Taiyi and the survival of the entire world.
If that building cannot be destroyed,
then the flas of the Otherworld war might spread here. The people of this world are already troubled enough dealing with the undead and have no power to cope with a strong individual like Taiyi.
"That’s good. You don’t need to bother with next. I’ll be watching your actions from above this city. If you fulfill the mission successfully, I’ll give you a gift before I leave." Li Yi withdrew his gaze and walked forward.
A Xiangyun erged beneath his feet, and ignoring the space ahead, he passed directly through the wall and quickly soared into the sky above.
He can even pass through walls?
A trace of astonishnt appeared in Wang Jianming’s eyes.
No matter how many tis one witnesses this inconceivable Transcendent power, it overturns one’s worldview, and Li Yi’s endless display of such ans leaves no doubt that if he were to get angry, destroying this world would be a piece of cake.
After all, just one large-scale natural disaster could disrupt the balance between the living and the dead, erasing everything here.
"All departnts prepare, Taiyi has left the building for the airspace above Huaimu City. Everyone act according to plan. As always, during this ti, no matter what Mr. Taiyi requests, everyone must try their utmost to comply."
"Additionally, this operation isn’t just a war between the living and the dead, but it pertains to the direction of the world’s fate. I wish everyone safety and well-being."
Wang Jianming took out a walkie-talkie, speaking earnestly and succinctly.
anwhile,
Li Yi had once again, atop a Xiangyun, arrived at the previously quarantined area.
This ti, due to his presence, a great number of people were involved in the operation. Just outside the quarantine zone, he saw many ard personnel directly blocking road traffic.
There were also many ard helicopters in the sky.
Although the technology in this world is only developed to about the nineties, all necessary weaponry is available.
And within the quarantine zone,
many undead had already begun preparations for the operation. So of the undead Li Yi had seen before, like the woman nad Han Chuan, the man with half his body charred, and a young man dressed as if he were in burial robes... although these people were of varying ages.
But being urgently conscripted by a nation to partake in this operation ant they were surely not simple.
"According to the regulations of this world, at ten at night, the living fall asleep, the dead co out. I’d like to know how they use their undead status to eliminate those three invisible ghosts."
Li Yi thought to himself, then glanced behind him.
The dead lying on his back were still there.
And after enduring the first day, by the second night, this weight beca increasingly heavy, easily enough to crush a living person, but still within Li Yi’s tolerance.
As ti passed bit by bit,
the undead within the quarantine zone began to take action.
They didn’t deploy everyone, but selected ten individuals to form a temporary squad. If they failed, a second squad and a third squad would follow.
Evidently, when dealing with the dead, more numbers don’t necessarily an better results.
"Everyone, I am Zhang Yan, the leader responsible for this area in Huaimu City."
At this mont, a middle-aged man ca before this temporary squad, getting straight to the point: "In that building ahead, it’s confird there are three dead people, a man, a woman, and a girl, looking like a family of three."
"But these three deceased are not simple..."
Zhang Yan was interrupted just as he was about to finish.
"No need for details. I’m already aware of the dangers posed by that family of three. The entire building has turned into a haunted house. Such deceased are rare, and if the undead of Huaimu City could handle them, this area wouldn’t have been quarantined."
"Moreover, this task has drawn unusual attention from above. Judging by the personnel setup, this task must be completed. aning, all of us undead can die, but we must eliminate those three undead and lift the curse from that haunted house, right?"
A man exuding a rotting stench stared blankly at Zhang Yan and spoke.
Zhang Yan paused for a mont, then nodded, "Yes, Jiang Yan, this task must be completed."
"Because of that person?" An undead standing beside pointed upward.
However, the next mont, Han Chuan quickly slapped down the undead’s hand, her ashen eyes showing a warning look: "Don’t point recklessly, just do your part. That person, no, he should not even be referred to as human. He possesses the power to destroy the world of the living."
"Indeed, a being who can swipe a finger and carve a river over a hundred kiloters long cannot be considered human. Calling him a deity would not be an exaggeration. So are all of us here turned into monkeys to perform a battle between the living and the dead for him to watch?" The man who spoke earlier just sneered in response to Han Chuan.
Han Chuan said coldly, "You’re wrong, this isn’t a performance. This is saving our world. Since you know the being above possesses such imnse power, you surely wouldn’t want to see a group of such existences fight endlessly in our world."
"This building accidentally connected to another world, allowing him to co to our world. If we can’t destroy this building, in the future, countless such beings will appear."
"So that’s how it is." The crowd’s expressions gradually turned solemn.
They had been urgently conscripted and didn’t fully understand the inside story; they only knew bits and pieces, leaving room for doubt in their hearts.
"If the building is destroyed, and the being above doesn’t plan to leave, intending to linger forever in our world, what then? Can’t we wait for him to leave first before we act?" Suddenly, the man nad Jiang Yan spoke deeply.
Han Chuan frowned.
She hadn’t thought that far. She was just following orders, doing her job, and the negotiations with Mr. Taiyi were handled by superiors. What agreents were reached during the process was sothing she couldn’t know.
But Jiang Yan’s words stirred so unusual thoughts among them.
If the mission succeeds, the building is destroyed, the Otherworld connection is severed, wouldn’t this Taiyi remain in this world indefinitely, with no one from the Otherworld able to confront him?
If that’s the case, this entire world would beco the plaything of this individual.
"I think this issue should be communicated with higher-ups, and the operation should be postponed." Han Chuan imdiately looked at Zhang Yan and said seriously.
Zhang Yan hesitated and said, "Let’s complete the task first before discussing any issues."
"It will be too late once the task is completed," Jiang Yan said gravely. "Besides, this chance is one in a lifeti, affecting the fate of the world. Is it really sothing to approach so casually? If this issue isn’t resolved, I refuse to proceed."
"The world is too small to accommodate the presence of a god."
Zhang Yan imdiately fell silent.
He had to admit, whether he liked it or not, Jiang Yan had a point. If the mission was accomplished and the building destroyed, this Taiyi could just remain in this world indefinitely, and no one from the Otherworld could co to subdue him.
With his power and ability, the entire world could beco his plaything.
No one could bear the risk of such a world falling into ruin.
After all, there’s only one chance, and a wrong choice would an irreversible catastrophe.
