Chapter 1989: Chapter 1989

"Alright, you can get up now." Tang Ye waved his hand at Xu Haishui, who then stood up from the ground.

"Explain clearly, what exactly is going on with you?" Tang Ye asked him. It was only now that Xu Haishui raised his head, although his expression was somewhat unnatural.

He pondered for a while, then shook his head, "I don’t know either. I’ve checked many records, and what’s happening to me is unprecedented."

"I can’t remember clearly..."

"Do you know the cause?" Hearing Tang Ye’s question, Xu Haishui thought again. Not long after, he looked at Tang Ye and asked, "Khan, do you remember the mutants?"

"Mutants..." Tang Ye muttered, quickly recalling that mutants were a type of zombie. However, until now, only the old members of the Peace Party knew about them, and no one else has heard of encountering them. The mutants were their unique name for that type of zombie, whose appearance was more horrifying and eerie than regular zombies. The more they killed, the more appeared, and they spread quickly. At that time, the only solution was relying on zombies to eat them, and among them, Xu Haishui consumed the most. It was because of this that he had the chance to evolve to a higher level, with a qualitative leap in combat power!

"Is it because of that?" Tang Ye frowned. In hindsight, he increasingly felt that those mutants were not zombies but creatures even more pure in monstrosity than zombies!

Xu Haishui nodded, "Most likely..."

"You mentioned you were self-rescuing earlier, so what was your method?"

"That’s because I found the source of the mutants."

"Hmm?" Tang Ye raised an eyebrow and continued, "What is the source?"

Upon this question, Xu Haishui’s expression turned serious. He said, "It’s the core of the Divine Rain Plan, that source entity, that Level 9 Rester!"

Tang Ye pursed his lips, vaguely understanding Xu Haishui’s meaning. He shook his head and said, "Don’t expect me to save that person. To make Su Sigui give up on the Divine Rain Plan is a million-to-one impossibility, and besides, I won’t do it. You should know whose side I am on."

Xu Haishui’s expression didn’t change. He had already achieved his purpose. Whether Tang Ye refused him was irrelevant. After Tang Ye spoke, he was silent for a few seconds, then addressed Tang Ye.

"I told you, don’t put your hopes on me, unless you have a better plan."

"No..." Xu Haishui shook his head. Looking at the expression on the other’s face, it seemed he had something to discuss, and Tang Ye’s brow gradually furrowed.

"If you also want to end the apocalypse, it doesn’t necessarily have to be done by putting the initiative in Su Sigui’s hands..." Xu Haishui said this with some hesitation. It was clear he wasn’t certain what kind of reaction Tang Ye would have to his words. What was the relationship between him and Su Sigui at this point? He couldn’t ascertain, and perhaps he was just testing the waters.

Fortunately, Tang Ye did not have a negative reaction. Instead, he showed some interest, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Xu Haishui breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the relationship between the other party and Su Sigui wasn’t as deep as he had imagined. But then, why would Su Sigui give such a precious item like the Divine God Armor to Tang Ye?

Quickly organizing his thoughts, Xu Haishui continued, "If things go on , even if in the end, Khan, you win the battle against other Zombie Kings, the benefits you gain will ultimately be limited."

"There’s one thing we must pay attention to: those who can be affected by the Divine Rain Plan are not just Level 8 and below zombies and new humans. Those at Level 9 will also be fatally damaged by the Divine Rain!"

"In other words, the Divine Rain Plan is truly a weapon of destruction! Would you really be willing to let someone else hold such a weapon?"

Faced with Xu Haishui’s question, Tang Ye did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand slightly, saying, "Continue."

"So instead of letting Su Sigui hold it, have you ever thought about becoming this wielder yourself? Using the Divine Rain Plan’s lethality against evolved species, kill other Zombie Kings. After the battle ends, you can completely eliminate all future threats to you, restoring the world to the state it was before the Apocalypse. At that moment, you’d be the only Zombie King left in the world, becoming a king! No one would be able to challenge your rule, and all that you see will belong to you."

He spoke neither too fast nor too slow, but there was a sense of urgency in his tone. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Haishui quickly shut his mouth, knowing well that anyone with a desire for power couldn’t refuse such a temptation!

What is the king of the world? This is the king of the world!

With only one Zombie King remaining and the rest being ordinary people like ants, what could stand against him?

What a wondrous world that would be!

Tang Ye looked deeply at Xu Haishui. In terms of ambition, he couldn’t compare to Xu Haishui, the ambitious schemer. If he hadn’t heard Xu Haishui’s words today, he really wouldn’t have thought of seizing control of the Divine Rain Plan from Su Sigui and committing a series of ignoble acts like burning bridges after crossing them.

But to be fair, if he followed Xu Haishui’s idea, the benefits Tang Ye could gain would be maximized. According to his original anticipation, even if he won the war against other Zombie Kings, ultimately, the world would not return to the state it was before the Apocalypse; it would only usher in another new era. He would survive to the end, though he would be the king of the world, but perhaps one day be overthrown by a young dragon slayer.

Xu Haishui’s approach was ruthless and crazy, directly flipping the table, severing the evolutionary path of others, letting them live as ordinary people for life!

Whether other zombies could exist, or survive after evolving, would all depend on his own will!

But unfortunately, Tang Ye didn’t have a strong longing for power. Everything he currently had was merely a byproduct of reaching a certain individual stage.

Therefore, he remained silent and did not answer immediately. Perhaps the biggest reason was that now was not the time to turn against Su Sigui. However, Xu Haishui seemed to see something and spoke again, "Also, Khan, that Level 9 Rester holds unimaginable value!"

"What value does she have?" Tang Ye absentmindedly responded, thinking that besides generating some strange zombies, the Rester’s greatest value likely lay in hiding the secret of why the apocalypse occurred.

If it were only these things, Tang Ye had no interest at all, and he knew that Xu Haishui’s knowledge wouldn’t surpass Su Sigui’s either.
