Chapter 061 The Eyes of the Wasteland
Chapter 061 The Eyes of the Wasteland
Yan Zhiyu ignored him and immediately stood up and shouted, "Wake up, everyone! Enemy attack!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping quickly shook the person next to him awake.
For a moment, everyone, like Yan Zhiyu, stared blankly into the pitch-black distance.
"Sister Yan, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Xie Linbo asked in a low voice, holding up his gun.
As a warmonger, he naturally had a stronger sense of danger than most people, yet even so, he didn't perceive the slightest danger.
Yan Zhiyu stared ahead, her expression growing increasingly solemn. At this moment, even her scalp tingled: "He's here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of eyes as bright as the sun seemed to transcend time and space and appear.
At that moment, countless people raised their hands or turned their heads to avoid the blinding light.
Even at the base, the blinding sunlight at this moment startled countless people awake from their sleep.
From initial shock to tense restraint and final fear, the whole process took only a few moments.
Countless people thought of that wasteland legend...
At this moment, everyone subconsciously turned their gaze toward Meng Shisan.
Meng Shisan naturally noticed this as well, and he asked Er'er in a low voice, "Was it Him back then?"
Er'er covered her eyes with her hands and shook her head: "He didn't say anything, I don't know."
Without saying much, Meng Shisan picked up Er'er and headed towards Yaoyang.
Yang Jiu and the others who were standing nearby also followed suit.
They had heard the legend of this wasteland countless times, but when they finally saw it, they felt no joy, only unease.
Even so, they still followed.
Ahead, when the blinding sunlight was only a hundred meters or so away from Yan Zhiyu and the others, he asked in surprise, "You actually managed to spot me?"
You could tell that He was genuinely surprised; in all these years, Yan Zhiyu was the first person to discover Him ahead of time.
In the past, He was virtually invincible in the wilderness.
Yan Zhiyu didn't reply; her palms were sweating with nervousness.
Although she had known for a long time that there were mysterious eyes in the wasteland, she still couldn't suppress the fear deep in her heart when she actually saw them with her own eyes.
"Father, Father, it's Him, it's Him! He said Father would come to save Er'er!" Er'er, who was being held in Meng Shisan's arms, said excitedly at that moment.
She recognized that voice; it was all too familiar.
Her words did not surprise Yan Zhiyu and the others, since they already knew that.
On the contrary, Yang Jiu and the others looked over with surprise and doubt.
Now they understood. Meng Shisan had said that someone had seen a pair of eyes in the dark, but they had initially thought it was Meng Shisan himself who had seen it.
So it was this little girl all along?
With Er'er's incredible strength, this little girl is no ordinary person.
"Baozi, do you know anything about him?" Meng Shisan frantically called out to Baozi in his mind.
But Baozi, who is usually very talkative, was like a mute at this moment, not uttering a single word.
Having no other choice, Meng Shisan could only bite the bullet and walk up to Yan Zhiyu and the others, turning his head to ask, "I don't care who you are. Considering you helped Er'er, if you have any needs, just tell me. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can agree to it."
Meng Shisan had no idea what to do with this person.
His eyes are like the sun, and the key is that you can only see his eyes.
Even he couldn't explain what kind of being it was.
"Little girl, I didn't lie to you, did I?" The dazzling sunlight didn't rush to respond to Meng Shisan's words, but instead said to Er'er, "How are you? Is Daddy treating you well?"
Er'er showed no fear whatsoever. Hearing this, she covered her eyes with her little hands and said with a grin, "Daddy is so good to me."
"So, have you cried yet?" This guy seems to really like silly things.
Upon hearing this, Er'er immediately huffed and puffed out, "Er'er won't cry. Last time, the wind was too strong and sand got into my eyes."
For Er'er, although everyone feared the dazzling sun, it had never harmed her and had even warmed her when she was most helpless, so she was not afraid.
Seeing this, the dazzling Yaoyang stopped teasing Er'er and immediately looked at Meng Shisan, saying calmly, "You can call me Yaoyang. I didn't want to make such a big fuss this time, but since I've been discovered, I won't hide it anymore."
As you said, I helped that little girl before, so today I'll take it as my way of repaying that kindness. I want all the river water you collected today.
feasible?"
Hearing this request, Meng Shisan was not surprised. This guy he had never met before must have had a purpose in showing up today.
There aren't many things about these people that would attract attention from others.
This river happens to be one of them.
There's no way around it; ordinary people really can't get their hands on this river water.
"The request isn't unreasonable, but I wonder what use this river water is?" Meng Shisan asked.
"It has many uses," Yaoyang said. "Didn't Liu Jiaming and his gang use this river water to destroy the evidence?"
However, that was only the most insignificant role of the river.
As Yaoyang spoke, his gaze turned to Yan Zhiyu again before continuing, "If this girl can tell me how she sensed me, I wouldn't mind telling you more about the wonders of this river."
Meng Shisan did not agree directly, but looked at Yan Zhiyu instead.
Even though he did want to know, he still hoped that Yan Zhiyu would decide for herself regarding the secret.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Yan Zhiyu didn't hide anything and said directly, "I don't know the specific reason, it's just an instinctive fear."
As for the reason, I can't really say.
As for whether you believe it or not...
"I believe you." Before Yan Zhiyu could finish speaking, Yaoyang interrupted her. He truly believed her. After speaking, he fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he smiled.
Clearly, He got the answer.
This scene left everyone completely bewildered.
Even Yan Zhiyu herself was slightly stunned, thinking to herself, "I, the person involved, don't even know, but you do?"
"Since you've already said that, then I'll tell you what's going on." Yaoyang ignored their doubts and immediately said, "If the water of the Burial Soul River is still there, then it's indeed of no use."
Perhaps destroying the evidence is the greatest benefit you can achieve.
But once they leave the Burial Soul River, the river has many uses.
First of all, you should already know this.
It can nurture your consciousness; in other words, it can serve as a carrier of code.
This single point alone is incredibly tempting to anyone.
It is important to understand that consciousness without a carrier will dissipate.
That's just the first point.
Secondly, it can also strengthen your physical body.
This won't work in the Burial Soul River, since not everyone is as abnormal as Meng Shisan. However, once you leave the Burial Soul River, if you control the amount of water, it can help you temper your physical body.
Thirdly, if used properly, it can also be a very good weapon, capable of both offensive and defensive skills.
If you were to build a moat with this river in your territory, believe me, no one could cross it.
Of course, it has other uses as well, it just depends on what you use to trade.
After Yaoyang finished speaking, he looked at Meng Shisan.
He knew that Meng Shisan possessed something He desired, but it was inconvenient for Him to say it outright.
Meng Shisan didn't understand what He meant at first, but he soon figured it out.
This guy must have his eye on the headless body I left behind in the Burial Soul River.
Aside from that, he couldn't understand what he had that made him worthy of such attention.
However, he did not intend to speak. Since the other party did not say it explicitly, it meant that He did not want the matter of the headless body to become public knowledge.
Meng Shisan then said to Yang Jiu, "Arrange for two people to carry that bucket of river water over."
He didn't really care about the river water, since he could always fetch more at any time.
He would be quite happy to use this to get rid of the person.
Of course, this is why he has the means to extract the river water; for others, this would be an impossible condition.
Seeing that Meng Shisan didn't respond, Yaoyang stopped talking as well.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Interestingly, even all electronic devices were unusually quiet at this moment.
It's important to know that Bei Douchen, Wen Shixin, and even Li Maoran and Liu Jiaming all knew about all of this through electronic devices.
Even so, no one said a word.
They were all playing dead with perfect coordination.
This is very telling.
After a long while, when someone carried the bucket of river water over, everyone turned their gaze as far as possible to the blinding sun.
Meng Shisan went even further and asked, "Do you need us to help you send it back?"
Yaoyang simply smiled, and a flash of white light appeared. Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, the bucket of river water had vanished.
"Let's go, Meng Shisan. If you have any other good stuff, you can trade with me."
No matter when or where, I will hear you whenever you call my name.
These words surprised everyone.
Doesn't that mean this person is monitoring everyone?
That's a bit scary.
Even Wen Shixin and others couldn't do that, right?
Amidst everyone's astonished expressions, Yaoyang chuckled and vanished from their sight in the blink of an eye.
The night, which had been as bright as day, returned to its pitch-black state.
Many people immediately felt their backs were soaked.
Although Yaoyang didn't do anything, he still gave everyone an inexplicable pressure.
"Meng Shisan, you're finished. You actually brought this guy out." Just when everyone was relieved, Shen Mo's voice came from the communicator.
Hearing this, Meng Shisan asked curiously, "Are you afraid of Him?"
"I'm afraid of Him?" Shen Mo retorted stubbornly.
Meng Shisan, however, was not going to tolerate him: "If you weren't afraid, why didn't you dare utter a single word when he was here?"
While criticizing Shen Mo, Meng Shisan simultaneously called for Baozi in his mind.
He genuinely believed that these guys were all afraid of this guy named Yaoyang.
After all, there aren't many people who can scare Baozi, that chatterbox, into shutting up.
At least all the guys who came before have done it.
"Meng Shisan, you got the water from the Burial Soul River?" Just as Shen Mo was speechless, Bei Dou Chen controlled Xu Xin to run over quickly.
"What, you're interested too?"
"If possible, we are also willing to make a deal." Before Bei Douchen could speak, Wen Shixin's voice came from a communicator.
Seeing that they were all like this, Meng Shisan hesitated for a moment and looked at Shen Mo.
You should know that when he took the river water, Shen Mo had a completely indifferent attitude.
But now, judging from everyone's attitude, it's a completely different story.
On second thought, Meng Shisan wished he could slap himself.
Shenmo has no ambitions; His goal is to destroy the world, and He has no desires for personal development.
That's why He doesn't care, but whether it's Beidou Chen or Wen Shixin, these guys have their own demands.
Having figured this out, Meng Shisan was in a much better mood: "A deal is fine, but offer me terms that satisfy me."
"What do you want?" Beidou Chen asked immediately.
Wen Shixin was also listening from the side.
Without any hesitation, Meng Shisan asked, "What is Yaoyang's background?"
When this name was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
It seems that even they themselves are unwilling to mention this name.
"Tell me about it, I'm quite curious too, who exactly is this Yaoyang?" Liu Jiaming, who had never spoken on electronic devices before, asked curiously through the communicator, which was a rare occurrence for him.
"Yeah, everyone, tell us about it!" Li Maoran joined in the fun. "I've heard about it before, but I've never seen it. Since everyone's here today, why don't we tell you?"
Seeing that everyone had peeked out, Meng Shisan couldn't help but laugh.
Sure enough, these guys had been monitoring their side the whole time, and each of them had their own tricks up their sleeves.
"Well, I don't need any river water anyway. You guys chat, I'm leaving first." Seeing this, Shen Mo was the first to back down.
Wen Shixin struggled with the decision, but after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "If you want to mention other conditions, I can consider them. As for this, to be honest, you can ask Him yourself."
"Yes." Beidou Chen nodded immediately. "It's more reliable to ask Him, and He's easier to talk to than us. Just ask Him."
If you insist on asking, then I can only say that this deal has to be abandoned for the time being.
Seeing the two of them like this, Meng Shisan immediately understood that they were both afraid.
I will stop pressuring them now.
No need.
"Then tell me, what can you offer in exchange?"
Before Bei Douchen and the others could speak, Liu Jiaming immediately said, "Thirteen, if you are willing to provide us with some river water for research, we are willing to offer you the bunker in the wasteland in exchange."
"Then why should you bring it out?" Upon hearing this, Yang Jiu immediately became displeased. "Do you really think we can't take it?"
"We know you can take it, but what about the losses? And aren't you worried about us sabotaging it?"
But if you are willing to trade the river water, we guarantee you an intact fortress.
A win-win situation, isn't that good?
Liu Jiaming made this decision after learning that Meng Shisan and his group had obtained the river water.
This thing is incredibly useful to them!
