Some things have actually already made their attitude clear.
Even if he didn't do this, Zhong Xu's death had completely put him and Black Gold Island against each other.
Bai Wu smashed the converter with his axe again and again. This thing, which had almost the same function as the pot he had been expecting, did not make Bai Wu covet it at all. In fact, he knew it very well in his mind.
As early as in the casino, he saw a future.
Those children looked like old people. They said that life was like a casino and death was like a casino ghost. It was the casino that gave them the foundation for their survival, but when the time came to die, they were extremely afraid.
Tens of thousands of years of life were taken away, and talents, memories, life span, human rights, everything no longer belonged to me. Every part of a human being was like food on a plate on the sixth level of the food domain, with the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and limbs all divided up one by one.
It has become something that pleases the rulers and the evil ones.
From that moment on, he and Wujiu knew in their hearts that one day in the future, there would inevitably be a showdown on Black Gold Island.
After returning from the casino, Wujiu applied to become the deputy leader of the Survey Corps. The captain didn't say some things, but Bai Wu saw it clearly.
The captain said that he would not consider change until he had power, but everything he thought, considered and did was to uphold the justice in his heart. From the day he became the captain, there was no moment when he did not want to change the grassroots.
"It's time to go to the bottom floor."
When the converter was smashed to pieces, Bai Wu stopped what he was doing and started walking towards the edge.
There is no elevator on the road to the bottom. If you want to go to the bottom, you have to jump from the edge of the huge pit. This height is useless for everyone.
But Bai Wu and the other two did not jump down. They just walked to the edge of the pit and looked at the scene at the bottom.
The elevator was inside the pit, and the entrance to the bottom floor was outside the pit. Lin Rui and Wu Jiu frowned and looked at the bottom floor, while Bai Wu raised his head and looked upward.
"It's human... Is the bottom floor a prison?" Lin Rui didn't know why there was suddenly a prison here.
"It seems so. There are both men and women among these people, but they look very young," said Wujiu.
Bai Wu discovered that if something was thrown from the top layer, it would pass through the outside of the huge pit and fall directly to the bottom layer.
The broken glass bottle remnants, bright red bloodstains, mutated flies, the scene on the bottom floor is even more messy than the second floor.
This place is as dirty, smelly and disgusting as a sewer. The stinking bodies of humans and evil creatures are soaked in the gray-black sewage, rotting bit by bit, and hatching countless mutant larvae.
The sixth layer is like the bright and shiny surface of the rulers, while the bottom layer is their true heart.
Bai Wu lowered his head and looked at the men and women at the bottom. They also looked at Bai Wu.
When this group of people discovered Bai Wu and the others, they opened their eyes wide and began to rush madly towards the bottom of Bai Wu and Wu Jiu, as if they had seen salvation.
They looked unkempt and dirty, and when they noticed someone approaching, they all made rusty shouts in their throats, all of which were some ah-wu-wu sounds.
I can't hear any meaning at all.
Wujiu and Lin Rui didn't understand what was going on, and they looked at the group of people at the bottom in surprise - they all knelt down.
Men and women began to kneel down and worship Wujiu, Lin Rui, and Bai Wu. After kowtowing several times, they remained kneeling, opened their mouths wide, and looked up at the sky, then stood still without moving.
"What are they doing?" Lin Rui was puzzled.
"I don't know." Wujiu looked at Bai Wu.
Bai Wu frowned and said:
"They were waiting for food, and in this place full of food, they were injected with some kind of drug that amplified the sensation of hunger and thirst."
Lin Rui was puzzled as to how the senior could tell that. Wujiu did not question it at all:
“What’s the point of doing this?”
"brainwashing."
The reason why Bai Wu looked towards the top for the first time was because when he walked to the edge of the pit, he had already seen the notes.
The fat man you killed was a man with a lot of bad taste. He liked to see a group of people who were unwilling to obey him, kneeling down and asking him for food and water when they were extremely hungry and thirsty. Even though this place was called the Food Zone, there were a lot of people who starved to death. They were like scavengers in the end of the world. No matter what was thrown into the pit by the top floor, they would flock in - if their physical strength allowed.
Sometimes it was food scraps, which was the greatest reward for this group of low-class people, and sometimes it was disgusting vomit, or even... something more disgusting. But there was an unwritten rule that the things they threw down had to be edible, and this group of people had to eat them all, otherwise... they would experience a long period of hunger, just like now.
Everyone knelt down, thinking that Wujiu Baiwu was a messenger from the top floor, and that Baiwu and others would bring delicious food.
They open their mouths wide, and no matter how smelly and rotten the food is, as long as it can be accepted by the body, they will not reject it.
They had already surrendered, and each of them looked extremely pious. Generally speaking, in this situation, Zhong Xu's brainwashing work was half completed.
They have become slaves who are willing to do anything for food, and are willing to worship Zhong Xu, who gave them food, as a god.
For Zhong Xu, the greatest value of human life is to provide entertainment. He feels happy watching others amuse themselves, watching others become food, and watching others suffer.
Bai Wu suddenly felt very fortunate that he had really killed Zhong Xu.
"This world is terrible, but our existence has finally made it a little cleaner."
Wujiu knew that Bai Wu rarely expressed such sentiments.
If he knew how Bai Wu spent his childhood, he might even think that the fact that this person did not become a perverted murderer and actually had a sense of justice based on popular values was a miracle in itself.
Before leaving the Food Domain and the Color Domain and returning to the tower, Bai Wu and his group rescued these people, and he took them to the top floor of the Food Domain.
They ate and drank like crazy, as if they would eat as much as they could, even if it meant bursting their stomachs.
These people did not return to the roulette wheel, and their minds had long been destroyed by Zhong Xu. In the end, Bai Wu just left them on the top floor of the food domain and had no intention of taking them away.
At least they wouldn't die of hunger.
Before returning to the tower, Bai Wu took Lin Rui and Wujiu and started walking towards the Color Realm.
He needs one more thing.
"Zhong Xu's death will cause great turmoil. Although no one knows about it now, this news will eventually be revealed. I believe that before long, Zhong Xu's death will be known to other rulers."
Wujiu nodded and said:
"What are you going to do?"
"Captain, can we trust Qin Zong?"
Calling the legion commander by his name, Bai Wu was obviously reminded of something because Zhong Xu mentioned the Qin family at the beginning, and he also lost his favor for Qin Zong, the descendant of the ruler.
Wujiu said:
"Captain? Why do you suddenly ask this?"
"I want to go to the fifth floor. I need some new cards."
To confront the forces of Black Gold Island, Bai Wu knew that he was not strong enough at the moment. He needed some bargaining chips.
"Are you planning to let the captain be your guide?"
"Yes, if Qin Zong is trustworthy, let him introduce me to the fifth floor. I want to talk to one of the rulers."
After meeting Zhong Xu and the Order Group, although Bai Wu had never been to the fifth floor of the tower, he already knew about the Eight Great Families.
The Zhong family and the Qin family should be isolated.
The Yan family, the Xie family, the Liu family, the Wang family, the Pang family, and the Zheng family seemed to have formed a short-lived alliance.
"You want to talk to the ruler of the Qin family?"
"No, the ruler of the Qin family is the next one we are going to take down."
It was just a simple sentence, but it contained a huge amount of information. Wujiu looked at Bai Wu in surprise.
Wujiu still felt a little uncomfortable with Bai Wu’s way of thinking.
"what do you think?"
"Captain, do you remember the question I asked when we went to the mental hospital? Will we offend a ruler by finding Yan Jiu?"
The three of them have passed the suspension bridge and returned to the fifth level of the Color Domain. Bai Wu looked at the remains of Zhong Xu. The huge head was difficult to identify because Zhong Xu maintained his evil and fallen form.
Evil will be reduced to ashes once it enters the tower, but fortunately there are other things that can replace it.
After a few seconds of recollection, Wujiu recalled some of the things he had said before. At that time, Bai Wu asked himself what would happen if he learned about the ruler's scandal from Yan Jiu.
Wujiu's answer at that time was exactly what Bai Wu was thinking at this moment:
"It's okay. The fifth level is also called the ruler level. You may offend one of the big guys, but you will definitely get the favor of another big guy."
Checks and balances.
There are eight rulers. Although if one dies the number becomes seven, as long as there are greater than or equal to three, checks and balances are needed.
"Being able to restrain other rulers is our bargaining chip when facing the rulers, but I must meet with the ruler who can talk to me. As long as he is willing to help us, Zhong Xu's death will not cause us any trouble in the future. On the contrary, we can get the support of a powerful force."
"What power? Who are you looking for?" Wujiu didn't quite understand.
"Xie family, the power of technology." Bai Wu did not elaborate.
Violet cut Zhong Xu into many pieces, but only the head of Zhong Xue was sawed off.
Bai Wu picked up Zhong Xue's head and threw it into the storage bag. This thing could indicate something to the Xie family... or the person he really wanted to meet.
The purpose of cooperating with the Xie family is to continue to survive in the tower, and the ultimate goal is to find the forces outside the tower behind the Xie family.
Behind the Xie family is Zero of the Mechanical City, the king of the largest mechanical kingdom outside the tower.
Only monsters can defeat monsters. To fight against Jingwu, Bai Wu is not stupid enough to think that he or the captain at this stage can do it.
"I need a chance to enter the fifth floor. The only person who can give me this opportunity is Qin Zong, the commander of our investigation corps. But if Qin Zong is not trustworthy, I will cancel this plan. I don't know Qin Zong, but I believe in the captain. This matter cannot be delayed, so I need the captain's judgment."
This is a rare thing. After all, most of the time, Bai Wu is used to making decisions on his own and rarely asks for other people's opinions.
Wujiu pondered for a long time before answering seriously:
"The leader is a righteous man."
"Then he is also a poor man."
Wujiu didn’t know what this sentence meant for the time being.
Bai Wu did not elaborate, but as a descendant of the ruling family, the Qin family, pursuing justice was almost equivalent to violating the ancestral teachings.
It's like Zhong Xu has a son who fights for justice for the people. Bai Wu can imagine that the relationship between this son and Zhong Xu must be very bad.
But because of this, he can choose to believe Qin Zong.
…
…
The final farewell is approaching.
Bai Wu and Lin Rui chatted about some topics related to the masked weirdo. They were both very curious about this guy whose identity was unknown and whose behavior was quite strange and unruly.
At the same time, Bai Wu also pointed out that the power in Lin Rui should be the spread of the fusion disease. Lin Rui could not be as powerful as the first generation masked monster, but he would not suffer the backlash of the power of time and space.
Before leaving, Bai Wu activated the return wheel.
Lin Rui said:
"Senior, you must be careful in the tower. That person said that there are creatures living in the tower that are stronger than the monsters outside the tower."
"I see."
What the first generation masked monster mentioned should be something from the sixth or even seventh floor.
But that is something Bai Wu will not touch for now. He will not seek death like Cain.
"Today's journey is very meaningful to me. Senior, will we meet again?" Lin Rui was a little reluctant.
"Of course, Baichuan City needs you. As the successor or disciple of the first generation of masked monsters, you have to help Jiang Yimi because he owes her that. Find Baichuan City and Baichuan Middle School. One day, we and countless people who yearn for freedom will gather in that place."
After floating rootlessly for seven hundred years, Lin Rui, who had been wandering in time and space for seven hundred years, actually had a feeling that he was about to return home.
For Bai Wu, this gathering is the starting point for defeating Zhong Xu and overthrowing the ruler of the tower.
For Jiang Yimi, Nie Chongshan and Gu Hailin, this is the beginning of building a shelter.
For Lin Rui, it means having a real place to stay after a seven hundred year journey.
For Chen Shuyue, it was a way of putting the past to rest, and she also learned the thoughts of her two good friends, which strengthened her determination to take the path she wanted to take.
The scene-stealing Eye of Prell always has some strange habits, such as saying something every time before returning.
The current area is 90% explored, and there are a lot of evil left. It's a pity to waste these beautiful and warm milk... Well, let's talk about business. All the doomsday fragments have been transferred. I believe you also know where these fragments have been transferred. Black Gold Island is a good place. If you liberate it, you will get a lot of doomsday fragments in the area.
But don't be too ambitious. Let the prophet A'yan tell you that the poor little thing is waiting for your rescue, and on your next journey, you may not be able to get rid of the six brats from the rulers' families and the little liar~ Hohohoho, I'm already looking forward to it.
