24 Hours to Save the World

Chapter 519: Counted to death

Views:

Zhu Shijiu didn't know that Ba Wang had entered the stage of fighting wits and courage with the air, and he didn't know that Ba Wang mistakenly thought that Lao Luo had betrayed him, so when he saw Lao Luo, he was also confused.

The other students were also quite confused when they saw Lao Luo.

Were the lessons they learned the previous two times not enough, or has this guy already given up resistance

Old Yang was also in doubt: "How dare you show up?"

Lao Luo quickly said, "Misunderstanding! Don't do anything yet, just listen carefully! I'm here to surrender!"

What?!

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Lao Yang said bluntly: "Do you think we are so stupid? If you say you will surrender, will we believe you?"

Lao Luo pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile. It was indeed not that easy. However, according to Ba Wang's guess, Zhu Shijiu should now be thinking of surrendering him. Ba Wang guessed that Zhu Shijiu must have wanted to surrender him because he captured and released him twice before.

When Lao Luo looked at Zhu Shijiu, he felt relieved immediately, because Zhu Shijiu's eyes were different from the mocking eyes of others. Zhu Shijiu's eyes were full of kind concern, just like the eyes of seeing a criminal who had lost his way and returned to the right path.

I have heard that Zhu Shijiu is a kind-hearted person. He behaved like a saint in the assessment to join the organization. Now he is raising the flag to rebel against the senior students. For a moment, Lao Luo also felt that Zhu Shijiu should believe his words.

"I believe it!"

As expected, amidst the mocking voices, Zhu Shijiu stood up and the mocking voices gradually died down.

"What? Zhu Shijiu..."

"Old Yang, there's no need to say more. I had expected that there would be some senior students who were brave enough to resist."

Zhu Shijiu said righteously: "They didn't resist in the past because they didn't have the opportunity to resist. Now that I have risen up, those who know the times should turn back like him! If we ridicule him now because of our doubts, they will never have the opportunity to resist."

These words made everyone quiet down, and Lao Yang sighed: "I understand the truth, but... Alas."

Lao Yang stopped talking, and Lao Luo finally felt relieved.

Zhu Shijiu smiled and said, "Tell me, why did you betray me? What do you want to tell us?"

When Lao Luo got to the point, he tearfully recounted the reasons why their senior students huddled together.

"We have a leader among the senior students named Ba Wang. He has been reluctant to graduate and has been staying in every graduation assessment. He is very powerful and controls all the senior students, requiring them to do things according to his instructions. I had no choice but to lead people to snatch the survival points of the new students before..."

Zhu Shijiu looked at Lao Yang: "Is it true?"

Old Yang nodded: "It's true. We have heard about it, but we only heard a few words and are not very clear."

Zhu Shijiu turned around and said, "Okay, go on."

Lao Luo wiped away his non-existent tears: "Every senior student must follow his instructions, otherwise he will forcibly eliminate the students who don't obey his orders, or even - kill them!"

"There was once a student who didn't want to be the Overlord's man, so he planned to rebel during a graduation exam, but the Overlord himself broke his neck."

Everyone was in an uproar. They obviously didn't expect that someone could be so cruel just because of a mere graduation examination.

"Since then, all of us senior students have submitted to him. As a result, as you can see now, the assessment of the extreme training course has become a one-man show for the Overlord. We can only act according to his rules."

Old Yang couldn't help but ask, "What is he trying to achieve? Why would he prevent others from graduating when he himself won't graduate?"

Lao Luo said, "You don't understand Overlord. His original intention was for our own good. He felt that he was saving those who were about to become black soldiers and die on the battlefield. He would rather not graduate himself and stop other students from repeating the grade like him."

Zhu Shijiu laughed: "After listening to you for so long, it turns out you are just a coward."

Lao Luo shook his head. So far, everything he said was true. Nine truths and one lie would work best.

Lao Luo saw that it was almost done and said, "But the reason why I came here now is because I want to get rid of the control of the Overlord! Zhu Shijiu, you are the most evil genius in history. I have only heard of your name, but I think it should be a piece of cake to fight against the Overlord, so I chose to betray the Overlord."

"So that's how it is." Zhu Shijiu nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

Lao Yang seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Zhu Shijiu.

Lao Luo followed his discussion with Ba Wang and brought out the prepared speech: "Ba Wang... is preparing to gather all his forces to attack you!"

After saying this, he quietly looked at Zhu Shijiu, but saw that Zhu Shijiu didn't react at all.

According to Overlord's speculation, Zhu Shijiu would definitely not confront Overlord head-on, but would try to use him as an undercover agent to break up Overlord's forces.

—Of course, Lao Luo did not know that the premise for Ba Wang to establish this condition was that Ba Wang believed that Lao Luo had betrayed him. Only when Lao Luo had betrayed him and told Zhu Shijiu all his plans, would Zhu Shijiu choose to take advantage of the situation. This was Ba Wang’s logical chain.

Therefore, Overlord also misjudged Zhu Shijiu's reaction.

I never thought that Zhu Shijiu actually nodded at this moment: "Okay, I am also preparing to fight against Ba Wang and the others. In this case, instead of waiting for them to come to us, we might as well take the initiative to attack."

Lao Luo was a little confused: "Wait, wait, are you planning to lead everyone to fight against Overlord and his men?"

Zhu Shijiu asked back: "What else?"

Lao Luo: "Isn't this a bit unwise? Let me make a suggestion. Why don't we use a strategy and send me undercover..." He was still thinking about Ba Wang's plan.

"No need to be so fancy, we just need to take the initiative and attack. I am confident that I can lead our men to defeat Overlord and his men."

You are sure of it! There are 13 people in Ba Wang's group. After arriving at the scene, with the five of them, there are 18 people. 18 people against 30 people, even one against two is more than enough. The ability of senior students is more than just one against two!

Just as Lao Luo was about to speak, he suddenly heard Zhu Shijiu say, "They only have 13 people, but we have 5 senior students, plus 30 new students. I think this configuration should be enough. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lao Luo broke out in a sweat.

Yes, in his haste, he actually forgot that he was pretending to surrender, and Zhu Shijiu considered them as combat power, so he wanted to fight against the Overlord... It was a close call. Lao Luo wiped the sweat off his forehead. If Zhu Shijiu knew that he didn't consider them as combat power, then Zhu Shijiu would react.

Lao Luo changed his mind and realized that it was not that Ba Wang and the others were incapable of fighting Zhu Shijiu head-on, but that they wanted to catch Zhu Shijiu and the others in one fell swoop, so they set a trap.

If that’s the case, then if he takes Zhu Shijiu and the others with him directly, wouldn’t that solve the problem once and for all without having to put in so much effort

What Lao Luo could think of, the other four senior students also thought of. They looked at each other and then said quickly: "I think we have a chance of winning! Let's do it! It's easier to just fight head-on!"

Zhu Shijiu nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's go!"

At this time, Lao Yang immediately pulled Zhu Shijiu over and asked, "Are you serious?"

Zhu Shijiu smiled and patted Lao Yang on the shoulder: "I told you, everything is under control. Do you think that when he gets in front of the Overlord, the Overlord will still believe him?"

Old Yang was shocked: "You mean..."

Zhu Shijiu had figured everything out by now, and said calmly, "This guy pretended to betray, but he didn't actually betray Overlord. But Overlord thought he had betrayed, so he gave him a mission to carry out."

"Why do you think he was so stubborn as to attack us again after we released him? I'm afraid it was because my strategy of alienating him worked. The Overlord had begun to doubt him, so I asked him to prove his loyalty. In the end, he failed to prove his loyalty and was easily captured by me. And letting him go again at that time was also my strategy of alienating him."

"Now Overlord has sent him here to pretend to surrender, but my decision just now was obviously not what he and Overlord expected. What do you think Overlord will think after he gets there?"

"What would you think?" Old Yang couldn't help but follow Zhu Shijiu's thoughts.

"Twice in a row, Lao Luo did not follow the instructions of the Overlord. At that time, in the eyes of the Overlord, will there be any other explanation for Lao Luo besides betrayal?"

Old Yang took a deep breath. He didn't expect there was such a deep calculation behind this.

This guy has a really dirty heart. In his eyes, the conspiracy of Lao Luo and others is as cute as a little lamb.

But Lao Yang still had a doubt: "This, this, this... when the fight breaks out, won't Lao Luo and the others attack us together with Ba Wang and the others?"

Zhu Shijiu smiled: "The Overlord is so domineering. If Lao Luo knew that he was already a traitor in the eyes of the Overlord, then his only chance would be this graduation assessment. Do you think Lao Luo would take the risk to help the Overlord defeat us, or would he grit his teeth and help us defeat the Overlord in one go?"

Old Yang was stunned and then fell into deep thought, but Zhu Shijiu had already left. He walked to Old Luo and others and had a pleasant conversation with them.

A cruel tyrant and a gentle genius.

If they choose the Overlord, the Overlord will not only continue to doubt them, but will also continue to persecute them in future assessments.

Choose Zhu Shijiu. Zhu Shijiu will have a great chance of defeating Ba Wang and others with his huge force.

The outcome of who to choose seems to have been determined.

Lao Luo and his men were calculated to death.
