Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 585: Chapter 274: Rushing Towards Each Other!

Li Yelai exceeded the task requirements, which greatly surprised Giant City.

They had been worried that Li Yelai’s plan might be too risky, yet Li Yelai encountered no issues and even managed to pin the blame on Black Origin City.

This development thrilled Giant City to no end. If the Church were to view the Forbidden Zone with enmity, or even wage war,

the humans of Giant City would laugh themselves to sleep in delight!

Orders were immediately dispatched to prepare the Giant City Night Patrol. They must ensure that the blame firmly stuck to Black Origin City!

Truly worthy of being the Chaos Evil God, the god of war and slaughter! Such toxic foresight in choosing the Divine Chosen! How did you end up picking Li Yelai?

If this happened a few more times, the Blood God Faction might lose even their underpants. Then, a bunch of believers, bare-assed, would chant “Blood Sacrifice, Blood God, Skull Offering Skull Throne,” and the Blood God probably wouldn’t pay them any mind…

“Night General is indeed reliable, but still too risky. Didn’t Main Base plan for him to return to Giant City as an undercover? Then let him come back quickly. Being a double agent is better than staying in the enemy’s lair.”

“Right, and we might even draw out and eliminate all the undercover agents hidden within Giant City!”

“But his intention is to make a trip to No.2 Border City first. Whatever Divine Chosen Burning Roar is up to, he plans to disrupt it.”

“No.2 Border City… Both our Giant Cities have been infiltrated by agents corrupted by Chaos. Therefore, we can’t notify them through official channels. As such, Night General won’t get any support from No.2 Border City.”

“Indeed, and given Night General’s current identity, it’d be hard for No.2 Border City to trust him. Champion Team One almost killed Night General at one point…”

The elders fell into silence. Due to the highly confidential intelligence, the vast majority of the official members were unaware of Li Yelai’s identity, not even knowing that he had become a Chaos Chosen.

This meant Li Yelai could face attacks from his own allies.

This intelligence was tightly sealed within No.3 Border City. The few members privy to it had all signed secrecy agreements with Taboo Items. Not to mention informing No.2 Border City—who knew how deeply infiltrated by traitors No.2 Border City was?

“This is the sorrow of being a Dark Pile…” the old woman said, “but he is not alone. Since No.2 Border City cannot be fully trusted, we shall send our people to assist him.”

“Do we need to inform more members about Night General’s identity? It’s very unsafe! It’s not that I doubt our teammates, but Chaos is too cunning!”

“Yes, indeed, but there is someone who is not among them. She is sufficiently reliable and won’t expose any information. Also, she trusts Night General unreservedly…”

…

Meanwhile, Li Yelai was waiting for Jing Lin in the ark, chatting idly with the Captain.

In this world, the person who knows the most secrets must be the ark captain himself.

Countless secrets are passed through the ark.

Not to mention that both the Book Holder and the mysterious disaster painting are within the ark.

These secrets couldn’t escape the Captain’s perception.

“Copper Face, I know what you’re thinking, so don’t test me. As the Captain, I can’t disclose the secrets I know to others. This is the ark’s neutrality.” After enduring several minutes of Li Yelai’s pointless chatter, the Captain spoke somberly, “Just like your identity, I have not revealed it to the other electors.”

“My identity?”

Li Yelai’s heart stirred, it seemed the Captain was aware that he was a Chaos Chosen?

That made sense; this person controlled the ark, knew the physical locations of all other ark electors…

However, not only is the ark restricted to the ark electors, but there are also limits for the omnipotent Captain. Otherwise, no secret could remain hidden within the ark.

Li Yelai thought to himself; he had wanted to get information on the Wilderness Ranger from the Captain.

To learn about potential Fifth God Believers.

Now, it seemed he had to wait until the assembly to ask the other electors.

Shortly afterward, a blinding white light flared, and Jing Lin stepped out from it.

A golden spatial ripple appeared, and a backpack emerged.

“Inside you’ll find what you need,” said Jing Lin.

After stashing the backpack in his storage space, Li Yelai nodded, “Then thank you.”

“It’s no bother; I’m the one who profited. After all, it’s a Sixth Sense Mysterious Material.” Jing Lin smiled, “Such transactions are always beneficial.”

“You really never stop taking advantage,” Li Yelai quipped, “Please go back first; I need to scout for some intelligence.”

“Alright, see you next time. Stay alive,” said Jing Lin before departing the ark.

Then, Li Yelai spoke up, “Captain, please put me in contact with… Chu He!”

“But…”

This time, Li Yelai didn’t have to wait long before Chu He arrived in the ark.

Chu He, clad in a Beast Skin cloak, still sported a sturdy build, but now he was enveloped in a pungent scent of blood.

Upon seeing Li Yelai seated at the Fourth Ring Seat,

Chu He was not surprised and began, “It seems you’ve passed the challenge and gained some opportunity, your Spiritual Energy has been enhanced again… Congratulations, Copper Face.”

“Thank you, Captain Chu He.” Li Yelai looked at the bloodstains on Chu He’s cloak, “But it seems I’ve caught you at a bad time.”

“It’s also not that bad,” Chu He responded, “During the hunt, I unexpectedly encountered Forbidden Zone Creatures and had to exert some effort, but I killed them all.”

Chu He lived in the Lost Land, without the protection of the Giant City, a very dangerous place.

Besides Extraordinary Creatures, he also had to be wary of the threats from Forbidden Zone Creatures.

This made it difficult for the survivors to develop and they had to constantly be cautious of the restricted area order’s interference. If transformed into Forbidden Zone Humans, that would be the end of everything.
