Chapter 1805 - 1808: After Surviving

Chapter 1805: Chapter 1808: After Surviving

Xin Lifeng felt a tremor run through his body upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s words.

He never considered anything like this before!

Not attacking?!

Directly targeting the island, blowing it up, and then sending away this group of experts?!

Let’s not even discuss whether it’s possible or doable.

He had just one question.

How did such an idea even come to mind?!

Would a normal person think this way?!

"Feeling perplexed?"

Lu Xiaobu laughed, "Then let’s listen together."

Soon, Lu Xiaobu brought Xin Lifeng to the adjacent operations room.

This was a newly established department specifically targeting the high-level forces in the Chaotic Land.

"Young Master Bu!"

Everyone stood up to salute as Lu Xiaobu entered.

"Sit, continue with what you were doing."

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

Xin Lifeng noticed that the people here wore different kinds of clothing.

Some wore camouflage uniforms similar to the Dragon Group he had seen before, some wore white lab coats, and others wore earth-colored clothes.

He couldn’t quite figure out their roles.

"Alright, let’s continue."

Xiao Zhi tapped the table and said.

He was much more mature now.

"After Xiaobu proposed this idea, we conducted research on the plan and found it highly feasible. Let’s go over it briefly now."

"First, the possibility of destroying Gourd Island. This is entirely possible, as you all know I once had a crazy plan to turn the entire Blood Continent into a weapon."

Said Xiao Zhi, awkwardly scratching his head.

The group shared a knowing smile.

"Ahem." Xiao Zhi cleared his throat twice and continued, "That plan was a bit insane, but it was that very insanity that gave us some foundation for this island destruction concept."

"The experiment data shows that it is entirely feasible to blow a piece of land off an island. Here are the relevant data, have a look."

With that, he distributed the information.

"As you read, listen to my explanation."

"Based on this, we had Professor Zhang conduct a survey of the geology of Northeast Gourd Island, discovering in the end..."

Xin Lifeng listened intently and even obtained a copy of the data to examine carefully.

These insights once again expanded his horizons.

However, Lu Xiaobu wasn’t interested in attending the discussion since the results would eventually be forwarded to him.

Hence, he got up and left.

He wanted to check out the core area.

He was looking for a person, or rather, a group of people!

The former black market boss, Sao Bao, and the people from that world, whom he personally sowed seeds to release.

Logically, he now controlled everywhere except for the Chaotic Land, yet he hadn’t found that guy’s clan.

Could they not have arrived?!

That’s impossible!

Lu Xiaobu approached the core, it was still the familiar cave.

However, the old man who used to be at the entrance had disappeared, possibly having gone to the Chaotic Land.

At this moment, people from the Iron Cavalry and Dragon Group were coming and going through the cave.

The structure of this core had been thoroughly explored, unlike the heart-shaped core of the Blood Continent, here it resembled a beehive with interconnected passages.

It wasn’t his first time coming here; he was always looking for the seed he’d casually planted.

But do you remember? Back then, he wandered around for a long time inside, and finally, just casually tossed the seed, so he forgot where it landed.

"Xiaobu."

At this point, a clear voice called out.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t need to turn around to know it was Little Hot Pepper.

Sure enough, the next moment he felt a weight on his body as Little Hot Pepper climbed onto his back.

"Where are you heading?"

Little Hot Pepper swung her body with a cheeky grin.

Liang Lan, Xue Lin, Su Luoxue, and Wu Qianmin weren’t ones to stay idle, finding their own roles to keep busy, but Little Hot Pepper was different, doing no work at all.

"Just strolling around the core." Lu Xiaobu laughed.

"Sure, I’ll keep you company!" Little Hot Pepper giggled.

"Who’s accompanying whom, you’re just riding on my back!"

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes.

"I could carry you if you dared," Little Hot Pepper chuckled.

Being small has its advantages, like evoking protective instincts!

Although as cultivators now, their weight defies normal understanding.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

Lu Xiaobu laughed, but despite his words, continued carrying Little Hot Pepper inside.

"This thing is so strange, neither rock nor animal."

Little Hot Pepper curiously touched the wall beside the corridor.

"Who’s to say it doesn’t have a consciousness?"

Lu Xiaobu chuckled.

He wasn’t just guessing; it was a possibility.

World Tree seeds imbued intelligence on the core; why couldn’t the core itself be sentient?

But for now, it was only a hypothesis.

"Argh! Scary!"

Little Hot Pepper shrank back, "The idea of this thing having consciousness is terrifying!"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Xiaobu was amused.

"Hey, Xiaobu, what do you plan to do after unifying Gourd Island?"

Like a child, Little Hot Pepper flitted from topic to topic.

"Once unified, it’s time to meet our old rival."

Lu Xiaobu chuckled, a gleam in his eyes, "This whole game was intended for that moment."

"Oh, Lin Feng! He’s something else, always trying to outdo you, from ordinary human to cultivator, and it’s still not over!" Little Hot Pepper pouted, "Jerk!"

Women tend to be wary of anything close to their man!

"Sometimes, it’s not just him wanting to compete either." Lu Xiaobu laughed, "Even though I’ve always found these matters trivial, having come this far, I can’t deny Lin Feng’s point."

"Maybe I didn’t even realize it myself, that I want to finish this game too!"

"Really? Since when have you been so competitive, Xiaobu?" Little Hot Pepper blinked.

"Hahahaha!" Lu Xiaobu burst into laughter, "Men, sometimes they’ll fight over who pees farther, let alone at our level!"

"Boring, always so competitive!" Little Hot Pepper rolled her eyes.

After a pause, she asked again, "And what about after the match?"

"After the match?" Lu Xiaobu thought for a moment, then smiled, "Maybe the real question is, what next if we survive?"

At this point, the conversation took a serious turn, prompting Little Hot Pepper to cling onto Lu Xiaobu and deliberately change the topic.

Clearly, she understood what those words implied.
