Chapter 1473: Subtle Alliance (2)
"Then, I'll give you three more days."
"If you still can't find it, I'll destroy another district."
Shaking the wine glass, the 'Big Figure' said casually.
However, the entire 'Nightless City' erupted in angry roars after a brief silence.
Far surpassing the previous amazement.
After all, it was a spectator before, but now it might happen to oneself.
The feeling is completely different.
Sitting there, shaking the wine glass, the 'Big Figure' naturally guessed these things.
He put the glass down and sat up straight.
He spoke in a more serious tone."Of course, there is another solution!"
"Kill me!"
"If you can kill me, everything will change!"
"I will be waiting for you in District 16."
"I am looking forward to it."
After speaking, 'Jing' gave a smile to everyone who saw this projection.
Filled with disdain and contempt.
In his eyes was a cold killing intent.
Seemingly palpable.
Seeing it made one's back turn cold, scalp tingling.
Ultimately, the projection froze.
Then, it disappeared.
All the residents of 'Nightless City' who saw the last scene felt a tightness in their chests, as if their hearts were about to stop.
At the last moment, 'Jing' finally tore off his disguise and revealed the face of the 'Big Figure' supposed to have.
It frightened everyone.
Moreover, it cast a shadow of death over the entire 'Nightless City' instantly.
Jason could swear that this 'Big Figure' did it on purpose.
A great reward will surely attract brave men, indeed.
But it cannot compare to intimidation and temptation combined.
At least, the effect is evident.
Jason turned his head.
At the secret passage entrance, the 'Collaborator' was just standing there dumbfounded.
That Frankenstein-like face showed fear.
Inside the semi-transparent skull, the brain was twitching rapidly like a worm.
The person appeared the moment after the projection, right after the 'bounty' was announced.
There's no doubt, the 'Collaborator' was completely shocked.
Jason could be certain, if the 'Big Figure' hadn't insisted on it being a body, the 'Collaborator' at this moment would definitely surrender to the 'Big Figure' to exchange for a chance to live.
Huff, huff.
The 'Collaborator's' breathing was extremely heavy, face twisted.
Sometimes it was resentful and angry.
Sometimes it was murderous.
Sometimes it was fearful and respectful.
All sorts of emotions surfaced on the 'Collaborator's' face.
Making the already hideous face, even more frightful.
Jason just watched the person.
After about a dozen seconds, the person finally returned to normal.
"Shall we talk?"
The 'Collaborator' looked at Jason and asked tentatively.
Now the situation was extremely clear.
The 'Collaborator' inside 'Nightless City' could not trust a single person.
Except for Jason.
In a world where everyone was an enemy, having an ally was too important.<azd18b> s s Nov3lFre.et</azd18b>
At least,
You are not alone.
Therefore, when the 'Collaborator' spoke, the tone was exceptionally gentle.
Even when facing his so-called parents, the 'Collaborator' never spoke like this.
"Let's talk."
Jason responded.
Although he already had his own plan, Jason did not mind having another helper at this time.
Of course, he wouldn't let the person participate in his plan.
But, at least they could be an auxiliary.
Hearing Jason's affirmative response, the 'Collaborator' let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, Lauren Delder was most afraid of Jason's rejection, and then leaving him alone to face the terrifying 'Jing'.
In the past, the terror of 'Jing' was just a vague concept to Lauren Delder.
So, after gaining 'Extraordinary Power', he changed from Lauren Delder to the 'Collaborator'.
He was self-satisfied about this.
He thought he had become someone on equal footing with the 'Big Figure'.
Was also a big figure.
But in fact?
He was still a pawn.
The 'Big Figure' never even looked at him properly.
The only reason they 'played' with him was to lure out the 'Freedom Army'.
Once confronted with the 'Big Figure's' dignity, when the other became serious, Lauren Delder finally realized his own ridiculousness.
With the destruction of District 26.
Lauren Delder's confidence was also completely shattered.
"I think we should escape!"
Lauren Delder stated bluntly.
His gaze turned towards Zone 30.
If he could, he would never want to go there again in his life.
But right now, there's no choice.
He has to go.
Staying here spells certain death.
Going to Zone 30, there's a slim chance of survival.
What's most important now is resources.
They need to bring enough resources to Zone 30—at least enough to establish a small base.
For one person, the difficulty is immense.
Because, time.
They only have three days.
Plus, the residents of the 'Nightless City' around!
Usually, everyone abides by the unspoken rule of concealing their identities, but at times like this, everyone will be watching those who do.
In fact, the more you try to hide, the more attention you attract.
And once exposed, there's truly no place for a burial.
His strength far exceeds the residents of the 'Nightless City,' but only when their numbers are limited. Facing endless enemies?
His death is merely a matter of time.
Even though, to some extent, he is 'immortal.'
But with Jason, it's different.
Jason's strength is formidable, Lauren Delder could be certain of that.
However, what impressed Lauren Delder most was Jason's Stealth, his ability to remain hidden.
Before Jason showed himself, he hadn't detected any sign of him.
He definitely couldn't go out now.
But if Jason went out to get some supplies, it was feasible.
"The environment there is very harsh. We need certain resources to survive the initial period, at least during the time 'Jing' gives orders. We cannot show ourselves."
"Hmm."
"However, before that, we have another problem to solve."
Jason didn't object.
"Problem?"
Lauren Delder was taken aback.
Then, this former 'collaborator' reacted.
He raised his hand and pointed to the hidden passage behind him.
Jason nodded again.
Lauren Delder frowned and then sighed.
Without a doubt, Lauren Delder had been stirred again.
Earlier it was the 'big shots.'
Now it's the owner of the passage, 'Kulin.'
In Lauren Delder's heart, he once had a sense of reverence for 'Jing,' but for 'Kulin'?
It was pure disdain and use.
So, after using him up, he killed him outright.
But when Jason reminded him, the owner of the passage, 'Kulin,' wasn't dead yet, Lauren Delder almost instinctively thought — was I being used again?
Then, Lauren Delder recalled.
And immediately confirmed.
He was indeed used.
Initially, although he had thoughts of rebelling against 'Jing,' he knew his strength was insufficient, so he planned to endure for a while, continuing to work for 'Jing.'
But 'Kulin' kept teaching him.
Giving him mysterious knowledge.
Causing his strength to grow rapidly.
And occasionally, uttering some leading words.
This made him truly have the idea of rebelling against 'Jing' immediately.
And he seized the opportunity, putting it into action.
Wait!
This opportunity was also proposed by 'Kulin,' communicated through him...
"Damn it!"
"I'm just a fool!"
Lauren Delder evaluated himself this way.
His heart, which was once proud because of obtaining the 'Extraordinary Power,' thoroughly calmed down.
Turning around, Lauren Delder looked towards the passage.
He raised his hand, preparing to release a dense web of threads.
And at this moment —
"Wait."
It's 'Kulin'!
The owner of the passage silently appeared at the entrance, raising his hands high, walking out.
"I think we can talk."
'Kulin' said, not looking at Lauren Delder but at Jason.
"Reason."
Jason asked noncommittally.
"Of course, because of 'Jing'!"
"He is my enemy!"
'Kulin' gritted his teeth, almost roaring: "Back then, he wasn't 'Jing,' but was called Kande, my dear teacher Kande!"
