RPAGF Chapter 320 Xiyue, Xavier
Chapter 320 Xiyue, Xavier
Sid stood up first, the sound of the stool scraping against the floor was jarring, and he said with a gloomy face, "I have something to do, I'm leaving now."
He hasn't even figured out his base's position yet, so there's no point in him staying. Instead of getting involved in these things, he should sort out his own internal affairs first.
Since Xide was leaving, the others in Beisha naturally wouldn't stay either. However, judging from the expressions of some of them, Lu Yize guessed that some of them already knew about it.
As for why Sid doesn't know, judging from his current reaction, it's clear that he most likely doesn't approve of cooperating with other races.
After the people from Beisha left, the androgynous person from Xiyue smiled innocently and said, "Don't look at me like that. We in Xiyue have already sent those who advocated cooperation with other races to you. I wonder if they regret their choice now."
When the underwater laboratory was first discovered, Chen Mingzhang requested support from several major bases, but was later attacked and killed. Xian Wenrui almost died there, while Mu Fei was actually killed by those people.
Because of Morse, most people in Beisha survived, while all the people in Xiyue were killed.
Hearing his words, Lu Yize and the others realized why only Xi Yue hadn't sent a fifth-level ability user.
They probably assumed that Chen Mingzhang and others also advocated cooperation with the alien races, so they simply sent all the unruly people from the base with them, regardless of whether they lived or died.
It can appease Chen Mingzhang, resolve the troubles within the base, and satisfy the desire of those who want to defect to the alien race—a win-win situation, quite good.
The reason he came this time was because he had previously received the Zerg memories that Zhang Wenjing had transmitted to his mind before her death, and he also learned that Chen Mingzhang and others had established their own base independently of the Donggu Base.
Their self-built base included humans, zombies, alien beasts, sea monsters, and alien plants. They even killed a lot of insectoids. Upon hearing this, Xi Yue, the leader, became very interested.
That's good. At least they've already formed a blood feud, so they probably won't be like those people who choose to submit to the Zerg again and become their lackeys to be slaughtered.
The leader of Xiyue stood up, extended his hand, and spoke solemnly in a male voice, "Xavier, head of the Xiyue base, is there an opportunity to discuss cooperation?"
Lu Yize didn't dislike this person and shook his hand back. "Lu Yize, head of the Nanling Base, we can sit down and talk about the cooperation."
At the Nanling Base, Xavier muttered these words to himself, finding it interesting. This was a move to go against Donggu, which was good; the clearer the ties with Donggu were severed, the better.
Jiang Qinghai watched as Lu Yize and the others left with Xi Yue's people, his brows furrowed, feeling as if things had deviated from expectations.
Lu Yize and the others entered an empty room with the people from Xiyue. Some tables and chairs were scattered around. Zheng Lin used vines to arrange the tables and chairs, and the group sat down facing each other.
Lu Yize asked bluntly, "Did the alien race contact you several months ago?"
“Yes, we did contact each other, but I wasn’t the leader of Xiyue at the time. I just accidentally discovered his dealings with the alien race, so I killed him.” Xavier said this with a beautiful, bloodthirsty smile on his face.
"What are the details of the transaction?" Lu Yize's gaze remained unchanged as he pressed for the answer he wanted to know.
The deal that would lead him to choose to kill the leader is probably not a pleasant one.
Xavier was handsome, a typical Western beauty with blond hair and blue eyes, and deep-set features. However, at this moment, his face turned cold. "The alien race demands that we provide one hundred crystal cores or ability cores every day."
One hundred crystal cores isn't too difficult in the apocalypse, given the large number of zombies, alien plants, beasts, and sea monsters. But if they continue like this, what's the difference between them and enslaving them as miners?
Killing life on the same planet in exchange for a meager daily existence, and with a hundred pills for a day, who knows if the price will go up later? Even if it doesn't go up, what happens when zombies die and alien beasts become extinct? Will they have to kill each other to survive?
It's astonishing that someone would actually agree to such a short-sighted option, arguing that it would buy everyone time to advance.
As long as some zombies and alien beasts die, we can ensure that humans live longer. When humans' superpower levels improve, we won't have to worry about these alien races anymore. What's wrong with this idea?!
Xavier and the leader argued incessantly, until finally the leader decided to kill Xavier, feeling that such a person was not suitable to be used by him.
Xavier, who was already at the fifth rank, was ambushed by the leader and saw the weapons in the hands of those alien races for the first time. If he hadn't been lucky, he probably would have died long ago.
Although I'm still alive, I've been left with some side effects. "My appearance and voice are the result of the serious injuries I suffered during the sneak attack. Don't be afraid. Oh, I can also show you my old photos. I used to be handsome."
Xavier handed over a photograph. The man in the photo had a neat short haircut, wore a military uniform, and had handsome features. He certainly had more masculine hormones than he does now.
Zheng Lin stood with his back to the photo and to the present Xavier. He could tell it was still the same person, but his demeanor was completely different. "Holy crap, what happened to you? What kind of side effects are so outrageous?"
"Don't worry, it's related to my ability. My ability is devouring. I guess it's because she devoured a Zerg of the same level as me that she became like this. But don't worry, she's completely dead."
Back then, the Zerg of Xiyue also sent Zerg to assist their leader at the time in eliminating Xavier, a troublesome individual. However, Xavier unexpectedly chose to turn the tables at the crucial moment.
He devoured the insect and absorbed some of her features, which is why he now has this androgynous appearance. He accepts it well, but many people who see him for the first time seem to have a lot of prejudice against him.
"It's alright, there might still be a cure."
Zheng Lin offered his comfort, thinking that Sheng Xue might have a solution, but since he had only just met Xavier, he remained wary and didn't directly mention Sheng Xue.
"It's not a big problem, it won't have much of an impact as it is."
Xavier had long since come to terms with it; it was just flesh and blood. In this apocalypse, who knew how long he could live? As long as he was alive and able to move, that was enough.
"Speaking of which, I should thank you for the letter you sent back then. It allowed me to clean up a large number of problematic people. I heard that they were all killed by the Zerg. Tsk tsk tsk, when they left, they swore that they would be highly valued by the alien race."
"They came all the way from so far away, so there must be something else attracting them besides the underwater laboratory, such as the legendary black crystal."
