Chapter 26: Step into my territory and dare to negotiate terms with me
In the immortal cultivation world, one day equated to ten days in the doomsday realm. Wu Ping had spent two days cultivating immortals while it had been twenty days in the doomsday world. The school remained the same, but the walls had grown taller, more people filled the premises, and fortifications adorned the main buildings. Doors and windows were sealed tightly.
Standing atop a building, Wu Ping surveyed the surroundings and muttered, “Is it really three-legged? Forget it, they just need someone to take care of the tree for me.” Regardless of whether people were human, the tree held the utmost importance.
Twenty days later, in a classroom-turned-meeting room, a large conference table dominated the space. Five people sat around it—Cao Ke, Cao Ling, Xu Feifei, a long-haired man, and a one-eyed man. The two newcomers eyed Xu Feifei and Cao Ke. They were the bosses from the first shelter Wu Ping had encountered, their small refuge washed away in the zombie evolution frenzy.
In the ongoing struggle for survival, they arrived at the school, clashed with Xu Feifei and her group, and escalated into a standoff. Wu Ping had been away; in the meantime, both groups reached the second level of evolution. Unable to overpower each other, they divided the land and coexisted for ten days.
Tensions rose when some women, including Xu Feifei, switched sides. The doomsday environment heightened emotions, leading to renewed conflict. Despite their rough demeanour, the struggle yielded the same results. The two newcomers, intrigued by rumours of Wu Ping’s strength, were surprised to learn he had been absent for over 20 days.
Speculating that Wu Ping had reached at least the third or fourth level of evolution, they found solace in the thought that he might have ventured into the realm of the strong. This realisation relieved them, as they believed that if Wu Ping had not returned by now, he might have chosen not to come back.
The prospect of having numerous women under their control excited the two newcomers, particularly Cao Ke and her companions. The idea of playing freely with them appealed to their rough nature. The group, unaware of Wu Ping’s fate, continued navigating the challenges of the doomsday world.
This isn’t right.
“Cao Ke, I’ve outlined the terms before. I’ll trade food and water for the women on your side. This is the third time my brother has come. Just three simple requests. Understand? Don’t be shameless!” The long-haired man slammed the table.
Cao Ling’s fiery temper flared up instantly. “No matter how much you insist, it’s impossible. Did you hear that? That woman was given to you by us. I don’t know how many hands she’s passed through, and I still hold onto her. I’m not afraid of filth!”
“Cao Ling, stop pretending. One, I think it’s two. Beautiful flowers are coming in.” While the long-haired man spoke, a timid girl entered and stood next to him. She weakly said, “I’m sorry, Sister Cao. I think it might be better to follow them. We don’t have much food and water.”
“Do you hear that, Cao Ling? Do you still want me to reveal your family background?”
“You have nothing to eat anymore. Yes, we’re all second-level evolutionists, but the three of you can’t do anything against me and my brother. We can wait. Who’s going out to find food? After going out, there are two people left, two to two. Are we still afraid of you?”
“If you know what’s good for you, make an honest deal or kneel and beg. Xu Feifei, you’re pretty bold. I haven’t ridden a big horse yet. Help my brother out; he’ll give you a bread bag!”
The bald head next to him laughed unscrupulously.
“If you do what my brother said, we can discuss it. Will we manage this place together and live like Earth emperors?”
“As for that man, Wu Ping, right? He’s been gone for more than 20 days. He may not want you anymore. He hates you as a burden. It’s better to follow me. I’ve established a shelter. Follow me, and you won’t go hungry,” the bald man said proudly.
Applause echoed.
Everyone present turned their heads but found no one around. The long-haired man listened carefully. Opening the curtains, they saw a handsome young man in black standing on a dark cloud, applauding with a smile.
This strange scene frightened the long-haired man. Stammering, he asked, “Are you… human or a ghost?!”
This immediately attracted others’ attention. Excitement filled their eyes when Cao Ke and the others saw Wu Ping. Cao Ke, the leader identified by Wu Ping, had considered the problems mentioned by the bald man.
Now Wu Ping was back.
They breathed a sigh of relief. Whether Wu Ping was good or bad, he didn’t force them into anything. They could live like human beings.
Dark clouds rose from Wu Ping’s feet, quickly blocking the window. Hideous zombies and evil spirits loomed, staring at the living flesh in the room.
When did these two brothers meet in that terrifying formation?
Legs and bellies cramped. Xu Feifei stepped forward, opening the window. Wu Ping walked in and sat down. Zombies and evil spirits outside quickly poured in, hovering in every corner of the classroom, staring at them.
“Entering my territory to negotiate with my people?”
“Here are a few new ways to play. Listen up.”
“Light the sky lantern, peel, cut alive, wash your intestines, and draw bones…”
