Chapter 167 Cooperation

"Fight side by side?" Li Tianran smiled when he heard this. "I once destroyed your Miracle Building and killed a large number of your followers. Now you can actually say the words 'fight side by side' so calmly…"

"In your eyes, is everything expendable for the sake of survival?"

"If you abandon all normal emotions, hatred, affection, friendship… if you discard all these things, even if you can live forever, what's the point?"

"Hurricane Apostle, what are you living for?"

Faced with Li Tianran's clearly sharp question, the Hurricane Apostle's expression didn't change at all. "The meaning of survival lies in survival itself. You can continue to feel your own existence, feel the sea breeze on your face, feel the extreme speed of galloping in the sky, eat delicious food, overlook this land, and enjoy all the pleasure brought by 'life'!"

Listening to the Hurricane Apostle's words, Li Tianran finally understood why these apostles always seemed so indifferent to everything in the world. Even the lives of their own followers didn't seem very important in their eyes!

These apostles have lived for too long.

So long that they have seen too much parting, war, and betrayal in the world. They have been glorious and fallen into the abyss. They no longer have surging passion, only a decaying soul in a seemingly young body!

They can easily accept what Li Tianran cannot accept, and they can easily give up what Li Tianran seems to think is very important.

In their world, only their own lives are the most important.

As long as they can continue to exist, the destruction of everything in the world has nothing to do with them.

Dignity, hatred, friendship…

These things that make up the human emotional world are worthless in the eyes of the apostles!

"Living for the sake of living… such a life is extremely boring." Li Tianran said softly.

"You don't understand the meaning of survival at all, because you have never experienced the darkest life-threatening situation. When you truly walk through the edge of death once, you will know that everything in the world is unimportant, and only survival is the only thing." A trace of pain appeared in the Hurricane Apostle's eyes, as if recalling some tragic past.

"Forget it, we don't need to continue discussing our views on survival…"

The Hurricane Apostle spoke, abruptly interrupting the topic. It looked at Li Tianran and asked very seriously, "Li Tianran, please answer my question!"

"Regarding the matter of cooperation, what is your answer?"

Li Tianran stroked his chin, his eyes fell on the Hurricane Apostle, his expression uncertain.

In his mind, two choices were constantly swaying.

If he wants to kill the Hurricane Apostle now, it is the best opportunity. Once he misses it, it will be very difficult to do it again next time!

But as the Hurricane Apostle said, killing it will not bring any substantial benefits except for getting the title of [Killing Apostle]!

Before long, ancient civilizations will fully revive, and the technological weapons in the Miracle Building will all be restored. In that case, a Hurricane Apostle who has already lost the Miracle Building will not be able to cause much trouble at all.

If he kills the Hurricane Apostle now, he will definitely not be able to obtain the remaining core crystal, and he will only eliminate a small threat…

It seems a bit not worth the loss!

Soon, Li Tianran made a decision.

"Regarding cooperation, I can agree to it." Li Tianran finally spoke, but before the Hurricane Apostle could speak, he continued, "I will provide your tribe with a safe living space and provide you with shelter!"

"But I have one condition!"

"That is, you must stay on Hurricane Island. Without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to leave Hurricane Island half a step, including you."

Li Tianran said in a very firm tone: "If you agree to this condition, then our cooperation can begin now. If you don't agree, then there is no need for us to continue talking."

Letting the Hurricane Apostle and his followers stay on Hurricane Island is essentially to monitor and control them!

Although they have lost the Miracle Building, they are still a group of powerful secondary evolved creatures, the top creatures on Blue Star. Once they are out of control in the human world, the consequences will be extremely serious.

As for Hurricane Island, it is Li Tianran's base camp, not only with strong firepower but also with a "suppression" effect. Li Tianran can also check the actions of the Hurricane tribe at any time. Once any changes occur, Li Tianran can cancel their "identity authentication" and use the shelter skill to suppress them, killing them all in the shortest time.

And most importantly, Li Tianran's arrangement of them on Hurricane Island has a more bloody and cruel meaning.

That is, if one day in the future, Li Tianran suddenly wants to go back on his word, unilaterally tear up the cooperation agreement with the Hurricane Apostle, when eliminating the Hurricane tribe… it will also be very time-saving and labor-saving!

"Okay." Unexpectedly, the Hurricane Apostle agreed extremely readily.

Its attitude stunned Li Tianran.

Being able to agree to this kind of condition, which is obviously [I am the fish, and others are the knife], does the Hurricane Apostle trust Li Tianran's credibility so much?

But the next moment, the Hurricane Apostle put forward its own conditions.

"I can stay on Hurricane Island with my tribe and accept your surveillance, but I also have one condition…" The Hurricane Apostle was silent for a moment, pointed at Li Tianran's chest and said, "I need someone who has a very close relationship with you to live with us."

"Once you want to go back on your word one day in the future and want to attack us, we will kill this person immediately…"

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just asking for a guarantee for my tribe. Everyone knows that words are the least binding. I need something more powerful to make our cooperative relationship stronger!"

Faced with the Hurricane Apostle's request, Li Tianran was amused.

"Make it clear, you are the one who took the initiative to propose cooperation now, you are begging me!" Li Tianran asked unceremoniously: "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

"I took the initiative to propose cooperation, but I'm not begging you… because I also have chips that you need in my hand!" Faced with the major event of its own survival, the Hurricane Apostle did not back down and said every word: "I took the initiative to hand over my chips, and you also need to express your sincerity!"

"Otherwise, this is not cooperation, but deception!"
