Chapter 322 Winning Over "You all know what happened next. The giant beast looked in this direction for a while, and then suddenly let out a mournful cry towards the sky."
"I don't know what it saw, but then it led the beast tide to migrate here."
The giant beast's ability was prophecy. Lu Yize remained silent, thinking of some things from his previous life. In the late stages of the apocalypse, the land collapsed, the environment was harsh, dust covered the buildings, and the whole world was shrouded in a dark hue.
The sky and the earth were almost one, and a dim orange-red color enveloped the entire planet. Humans and monsters alike were surviving in the ruins, and devouring rotting flesh was considered a gift from heaven.
They were trapped in a small, resource-scarce place, fighting to the death every day, and until their deaths, few people knew that they were just a group of trapped beasts.
A group of trapped beasts meant only for amusement and mockery, their lifeline for advancement restricted, with even the strongest in the world only reaching the sixth rank.
Without the ability to resist, what good is discovering the truth? It only brings you one step closer to death.
This is a natural reservoir of crystal cores. The day they discover the truth will only bring them closer to having their crystal cores/powerful cores harvested.
Ordinary people kneeling on the ground with their children, dying under the scorching sun; withered and dried-up exotic plants; mountains of white bones of sea beasts piled up in the now dry ocean; their former hometown has become a mass grave.
Perhaps this is the future that the giant deer saw, and Lu Yize personally experienced such a world for fifteen years. Despair alone is enough to distort a person's will.
A mere prophecy was enough to make that giant beast set aside all its prejudices and hatred, and come to its doomed place with a death wish.
All I could do was leave behind a word of advice and protect them with my life once.
It had long anticipated death and accepted it calmly; what it wanted in exchange was the chance for the strange beasts that followed it to survive.
And, secretly, I want to give its only remaining child a chance to survive.
"They probably foresaw the destruction of our planet."
Lu Yize spoke in the calmest tone, making the most devastating prediction. After he finished speaking, he looked at Xavier and said, "The remaining fawn is also currently at our base. Do you want revenge?"
Xavier was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Although he had guessed that the fawn was probably still alive, he felt relieved when he learned that it really was alive.
A very subtle emotion.
"No, it was too young to fight back then. It couldn't kill anyone. Why would I seek revenge?"
Thinking of the other fawn whose core had been removed and then devoured within the base, Xavier momentarily understood the giant deer's feelings. How could an intelligent being not hate watching its own child being slaughtered?
But it unleashed a beast tide, causing so many deaths, so it can't be considered innocent. Xavier shook his head, trying not to think about it; it was a messy account that couldn't be settled.
"Well, that's good. After all, we may have more cooperation in the future. Let's put these grudges aside for now. They're internal matters. If the alien races take advantage of this, it will benefit outsiders."
Lu Yize was already at his limit in saying so much, so Chen Mingzhang tacitly took over and spoke for him.
“I can understand you. Back then, the Zombie King killed many people in our base, but after the appearance of the alien race, we reached a consensus with the Zombie King and temporarily cooperated.”
"Do you think we don't hate? Of course we hate. How can we easily let go of a blood feud? For example, although Fan Jian was said to have died from possession by a foreign race, the real cause of death was Xie Hongyang's murder."
"His childhood sweetheart still can't let go. She hates Xie Hongyang, but she hates even more the alien races that created this apocalypse. If it weren't for their greed, how could we have ended up in this apocalypse?"
"From the zombies' perspective, do they want to become zombies? You may have heard that Xie Hongyang always wears a skull around his waist. That skull is none other than his wife."
"His wife, whom he personally devoured and bit on the first day he became a zombie, died, and as a zombie's ability level increases, his memories will gradually return."
"They gradually regained their human senses, their human memories, and everything about their former human form, yet they were no longer human. Many high-level zombies vomited uncontrollably when they recalled their memories of eating people."
"The struggle between appetite and reason, the conflict between humanity and the instincts of zombies—aren't all of these things the fault of the alien races that created this apocalypse?"
“There are still people who have put the cart before the horse, willing to work for these culprits and turn their blades against people in the same predicament as themselves, or against strange beasts and sea monsters.”
Chen Mingzhang wasn't just saying these things to Xavier; he also caught a glimpse of Sid standing outside the door, not yet inside. These words were clearly meant for Sid, whose stance was still wavering.
Chen Mingzhang's words were straightforward and to the point, hitting the nail on the head. After he finished speaking, Xi De, who was outside the door, walked into the room and looked at the people present with a complicated expression.
