Chapter 54 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (54)

With a sneer, Shi Minzhi said to Bai Tang, “Little Captain, he’s the kind of person who would cry and beg for mercy while pushing me around.”

Bai Tang lazily replied, “What kind of demon or monster have you run into now?”

Shi Minzhi sighed wistfully, “I once thought that I had been abandoned by the Heavens and everyone.”

Pausing for a moment, Shi Minzhi probed with a hint of a smile, “Little Captain, you wouldn’t abandon me, would you? If you did, I would truly have no one. Little Captain, even if you don’t want to do the reforming mission, you still have to want me.”

Bai Tang covered her lips and laughed, “As long as you don’t give up, I won’t leave.”

Shi Minzhi’s smile deepened, “Little Captain, I’ll remember, you have to remember too.”

Bai Tang nodded and picked up a stick from the ground, drawing random shapes on the earth. 

The two of them looked strange together.

Coward squeezed its way in and laid at Bai Tang’s feet, warily watching Shi Minzhi. It remembered that Shi Minzhi had almost killed it once. This person was not a good one.

Ji Mengmeng, looking disheveled, found Shi Moxuan and exclaimed, “You’re not helping me!”

Shi Moxuan pushed her away, “How can I help you? You saw it too, with just a wave of her hand, she could take your crystal core and give it to someone else. How can I help? Should I sacrifice myself?”

As Shi Moxuan’s words were spoken, Ji Mengmeng grabbed onto his clothes, “Are you just going to abandon me like this?”

Shi Moxuan held back his emotions and comforted her, “Mengmeng, we can’t just charge in. We have to use the power of others. Once we’re inside the base, we’ll spread the word.”

Ji Mengmeng didn’t understand, “Spread the word for what? To make her look good?”

Shi Moxuan explained, “This is not a good thing. The more noise we make, the better. Naturally, many people will see her as a thorn in their side and some will help us deal with her. This way, Mengmeng, we can protect ourselves and watch the situation unfold.”

Ji Mengmeng anxiously asked, “How do we do it?”

Shi Moxuan smiled, “Once we’re inside the base, you go and accuse Bai Tang of her crimes. The more people that hear about it, the better. Mengmeng, I’ve found a good method, don’t you think you should…”

As the words escaped his lips, Shi Moxuan cast an ambiguous glance at Ji Mengmeng. 

If it weren’t for the fact that there were no other attractive women in their team, he would have cast her aside long ago. Alas, he had yet to taste the sweetness of Ding Jing, the young girl in their midst.

As the conversation came to an end, the others in the team looked on in silence, their expressions twisted. Fortunately, Bai Tang was too far away to hear their words.

Within half an hour, Shi Moxuan had hastily gathered his team and set out for the base. 

The key to victory was to strike first.

The voice of the zombie tree demon once again echoed in Shi Minzhi’s ears, “Pay close attention to Bai Tang’s condition. If that sword appears by her side and she does not retrieve it, it will signify that her cultivation is almost depleted.”

Shi Minzhi understood and his smile deepened.

How foolish, not to conserve one’s cultivation. Just any random person could be wasted on.

Unbelievable!

“Are you sure that speaking with me in this manner will not be heard by anyone else?” Shi Minzhi asked again.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that he had overlooked something…

The zombie tree demon replied, “If Bai Tang still had 40% of her cultivation, I would still fear her. Otherwise, do you think she would have locked me up instead of directly killing me? If I were not currently low in cultivation and in need of your help, I would have already killed her.”

Shi Minzhi was even more satisfied, but he did not fully trust the zombie tree demon. Whether the transaction would be upheld or not would depend on its willingness to abide by it.

Two days later, following their original plan of action, Bai Tang and her team members arrived at the government’s base.

Bai Tang immediately jumped out of the car and sought out the person who was in charge of taking everyone’s temperature, “Little brother, can you please call your leader for us?”

This person did not know Bai Tang at all, “Too many people want to see our leader. Do you think every random person gets to call the leader?”
