"But we really met!" Hu Xiaoguo said, raising his head.
Zhang Fan was confused.
"Anyway, let's go there and take a look first."
"Lord Barbarian King, if that place is really as dangerous as Daiyu said, let me go there for you!"
Xiao Lingwei's face was expressionless and her voice was calm.
Zhang Fan shook his head.
"No need, you can just come along."
Xiao Lingwei said nothing and just nodded.
After saying that, Zhang Fan asked Hu Xiaoguo and others to lead the way, leading Yuan Shaohua towards the terrifying cellar they said.
Daiyu was still a little scared and grabbed Zhang Fan's arm with one hand.
Zhang Fan lowered his head and glanced at Daiyu, who was trembling slightly, and said softly.
"If you are really scared, don't go. Just stay here and wait for me."
When Daiyu heard this, she immediately shook her head.
"I do not want……"
Zhang Fan sighed and had no choice but to let Daiyu hold his arm tightly while comforting her.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't put you in danger."
Daiyu bit her lip and nodded gently.
Yuan Shaohua kept frowning in confusion, wishing he could quickly go to the terrifying cellar they mentioned to find out!
According to their memory, several people first arrived in front of the experimental building, and then walked forward along the shadows.
When they reached an open space, several people suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan asked.
Hu Xiaoguo and the others looked at each other and looked at each other.
Daiyu couldn't help clenching her hands and frowning.
Hu Xiaoguo said hesitantly.
"Lord Huiman King, the terrifying cellar we encountered was originally here!"
Zhang Fan looked around, there was an open space around him, and there was nothing!
Yuan Shaohua was also puzzled and said directly.
"There's nothing here! Where is it?"
Hu Xiaoguo and others also felt strange, walked around and then came back.
Daiyu gritted her teeth slightly.
"That's right! It's right here! I remember that dead branch on the ground! At that time, the entrance to the cellar was right here!"
Seeing Daiyu's determination, Hu Xiaoguo and others also echoed her.
But the fact is that there is really nothing here!
"Miss Daiyu, are you sure there really was a cellar at that time? Wasn't it some hallucination?"
"It's not an illusion, my double walked in! And was killed! The monster also controlled me!"
Hu Xiaoguo was also a little anxious.
"It's definitely not an illusion! We were standing here at the time! The entrance to the cellar was about ten meters away from us! We heard a voice similar to Lord Barbarian King, so Sister Daiyu summoned a substitute!"
Another person who was with Daiyu and the others also said.
"Yes! It's not an hallucination! One of my abilities is to resist hallucinations! If it's an hallucination, I can definitely detect it!"
"We watched Miss Daiyu's substitute go to the cellar with our own eyes!"
Yuan Shaohua touched his nose, obviously not knowing what to do.
Zhang Fan thought for a while, then turned around and asked Daiyu.
"Do you remember where the entrance to the cellar is? Take me to see it."
Daiyu frowned and gritted her teeth, nodded, then took a deep breath and led Zhang Fan towards the direction in her memory.
Daiyu and Zhang Fan walked forward for about ten meters, then Daiyu stopped and said.
"The original entrance is right here..."
Daiyu stepped on the ground and faced the empty ground, and she felt a little unsure about what she said!
"Okay, you stay away first and I'll take a look."
When Zhang Fan asked, Daiyu nodded, then stepped back to where she was at the beginning, stood next to Xiao Lingwei, and mustered up the courage to grab Xiao Lingwei's hand.
Xiao Lingwei subconsciously wanted to throw away, but when she saw Daiyu looking like she was about to cry, she took a deep breath and endured it.
Zhang Fan stood on the open space and walked around, but didn't find anything unusual.
"Professor Yuan, where was this place before?"
After Zhang Fan found nothing unusual, he shouted to Yuan Shaohua!
Yuan Shaohua scratched his head.
"Lord Huiman King, this place used to be like this. It was just an ordinary open space. There is nothing special about it, and there is no cellar as the Daiyu girls call it!"
Zhang Fan nodded and then gave instructions.
"You all stand back further."
Everyone stepped back another two or three meters.
Zhang Fan knelt down on one knee, raised his right fist, and then slammed it into the ground with all his strength!
"Boom──!"
After a loud noise, a huge pit one meter deep was created on the ground!
This was not enough, Zhang Fan continued to use force and smashed the ground around him!
After a while, several deep pits appeared in the originally good ground.
But the cellar that Daiyu and others mentioned was not seen at all!
Seeing that there was no result, Zhang Fan couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to pat the dust on his hands and walked towards Daiyu and the others.
"This is indeed strange."
Zhang Fan said, and then ordered Yuan Shaohua.
"Professor Yuan, please pay attention to this matter in the future. If it happens again, come to me."
Yuan Shaohua nodded in agreement.
Then Zhang Fan looked at Daiyu and the others and said calmly.
"You guys are also frightened. You can't find the cellar for the time being. You should go back and have a good rest."
Hu Xiaoguo looked at Daiyu who had her head lowered, then turned to look at Zhang Fan and asked cautiously.
"Lord Barbarian King, do you believe that we are telling the truth?"
Zhang Fan laughed angrily.
"Of course I believe it, otherwise why would I come to the cellar with you?"
Hu Xiaoguo shook his head, "No, I mean, even if you don't find the entrance to the cellar, you still believe that we didn't lie to you, right?"
Zhang Fan nodded.
"Yes. Of course I believe it! No matter whether I find the entrance to the cellar or not, I believe what you said is true."
After that, he added.
"You don't have to think too much. There are indeed many weird things about this matter, but these are not important. This world is weird enough! Zombies! Monsters! Sea of piranha flowers! Weird forest!"
"In the past, these were things that only existed in novels and movies, but now, don't they still appear in front of us? So, even if something weird happens, I will not question the authenticity of it."
"What's more, so many of you have gone through this together. How could I suspect that you are lying just because I didn't find it myself?"
After Zhang Fan finished speaking, Hu Xiaoguo breathed a sigh of relief.
He murmured, "That's good..."
Zhang Fan smiled and said again.
"As for the deep pit..."
Before Zhang Fan could finish speaking, Yuan Shaohua immediately spoke up.
"Lord Barbarian King, please rest assured, I will ask Captain Hu to handle it!"
Zhang Fan nodded, and then left with Daiyu and others.
After the affairs of Tomorrow's Ark Team come to an end, Zhang Fan can always take a good rest.
Regarding the monster in the cellar, Zhang Fan naturally explained the situation to the secretariat and asked the secretariat to pay attention to it.
"Lord Barbarian King, if it is true as Miss Daiyu said, there is a corridor in the cellar, there are lights on both sides of the corridor, and there is an iron door to imprison unknown monsters. Then there is a great probability that the people who built this cellar are more developed than us.
Much faster!”
Zhang Fan could not deny it.
Another wise man added, "Currently, the information we have is really limited! Based on the limited information, we have made some guesses! It is very likely that some power groups have already entered the next stage!"
"We don't know whether there will be any qualitative changes when the superpowers upgrade to a certain level! But as the abilities improve, it is very possible to capture some monsters and study them!"
Zhang Fan agreed, "Yes, the Arknights team has done this part of the research!"
Another wise man said, "The research of the Arknights team is still at a superficial stage, but it cannot be ruled out that other forces have already researched it to a deeper level!"
Zhang Fan thought about it carefully and said again.
"The location where Daiyu and the others discovered this time was in the Arknights Team camp, but Yuan Shaohua made it clear that he didn't know about it. I also believe that Arknights Team didn't know about it. But based on my understanding of the other major forces, they didn't.
It may develop to that point. Are there forces in the west of the city that we don't know about?"
"Lord Barbarian King, we cannot rule out the possibility!"
Zhang Fan thought about it and felt a little headache!
It seems that regarding the issue of forces in the west of the city, Hu Xingguo and others will still have to be summoned to discuss!
After talking to the people at the secretariat, Zhang Fan sat down and thought about it carefully.
According to the Secretariat, some forces may have developed very far ahead of their time!
But I am still at the stage of how to survive!
Two years are like a curse, hanging over Zhang Fan's life!
Apart from becoming stronger, Zhang Fan has no other choice!
Of course, it’s not like Zhang Fan hasn’t considered trying it out on his own!
However, a person's road may be even more difficult than the current road!
Zhang Fan was never the protagonist of this world, he was just an unlucky guy played by God!
From my last life until my death, I was just an ant!
In this life, relying on a little more intelligence and opportunities than others, I managed to obtain an ability that seemed pretty good!
Then rely on this ability to form a team.
Then relying on this team! I got to where I am now step by step.
Only those born as protagonists dare to fight alone! Zhang Fan knows that he is not one!
If he had relied on his own strength, Zhang Fan might have died a hundred thousand times!
After thinking about this clearly, Zhang Fan no longer struggled.
The most important thing now is still to increase your strength!
As for the truth of this world, let him go to hell!
Now it’s just Team Arknights!
But then there will be the Self-Help for Social Animals, the University Alliance, the Rainbow Hall, and the Little Flower Team, which has yet to find a breakthrough!
And Zhang Fan’s previous plan doesn’t know how long it can last!
This time the move to annex the Arknights team has been controlled as small as possible!
But Zhang Fan is really not sure whether the news has been exposed!
Zhang Fan thought for a while and decided to test it out first!
Fortunately, among the remaining four major forces, three have already infiltrated Zhang Fan's people.
The Social Animal Alliance is Zhang Fan’s next goal!
So Zhang Fan first contacted Wang Jiaying.
When Wang Jiaying received the news from Zhang Fan, Xu Feng was beside her!
Wang Jiaying's body stiffened involuntarily, but she quickly returned to normal.
Xu Feng didn't notice anything strange about Wang Jiaying, and focused on discussing with his subordinates where to earn higher crystal cores!
After suffering a loss in the university league, Xu Feng was eager to upgrade his level again! But the higher the level, the more crystal cores are needed!
Xu Feng only needs the last three million crystal cores to successfully reach level seven!
This is a height that no one in the entire Long'an city has reached! Xu Feng wants to be the first!
When the time comes, what kind of barbarian king! What kind of green king! He will only be given the chance to carry shoes!
Wang Jiaying looked normal on the surface and only communicated with Zhang Fan in private.
Zhang Fan first asked if there was any news coming from within the Social Animal Self-Help Gang.
Wang Jiaying didn't know why, so she said it truthfully.
"Lord Huiman King, everything in the Social Animal Self-Help Group is as usual."
Zhang Fan asked again, "Is there any news about the Arknights team?"
Wang Jiaying thought Zhang Fan wanted to know more about this force, so she briefly introduced it.
Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Wang Jiaying's answer.
It seems that at least the Social Animal Self-Help Gang has not received any news about the annexation of the Arknights team.
But Wang Jiaying became a little anxious when she saw Zhang Fan asking about the Arknights team.
"Lord Barbarian King, when will you come to handle the affairs of our social animal self-help group?"
Zhang Fanfan asked, "What? Is there anything new?"
Wang Jiaying was a little anxious.
"If possible, I hope you can solve the problem here as soon as possible, because Xu Feng may be promoted to level seven in a few days! By then..."
Wang Jiaying hesitated to speak, and subconsciously frowned.
"What? What's the problem?"
Xu Feng saw Wang Jiaying staring at something and frowning, thinking there was something wrong with what he just said!
Wang Jiaying was talking to Zhang Fan when Xu Feng asked, which startled her. She quickly came to her senses and barely moved her mouth.
Xu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wang Jiaying with bright eyes.
"What were you thinking just now?!"
Wang Jiaying's mind was racing, and soon she pretended to be annoyed and sighed, and the forced smile on her face disappeared immediately!
Xu Feng was confused and asked.
"What's wrong with you? Okay, you were frowning just now, and now you're sighing!"
Wang Jiaying slowly shook her head.
"Gang Leader, I'm fine, I just suddenly thought of..."
Wang Jiaying stopped talking and then said again.
"Forget it, it's okay! You can continue with the question you just asked."
Xu Feng was even more curious, and at the same time he frowned impatiently.
"Just say what you are told! Why are you hesitating!"
Wang Jiaying immediately put on an aggrieved look, tears welling up in her eyes.
He lowered his head and whispered.
"I'm afraid you will punish me if I tell you!"
When Xu Feng saw Wang Jiaying's pitiful look, he immediately laughed obscenely again.
"Oh, baby, baby! No, just say what bothered you just now!"
Wang Jiaying felt disgusted in her heart and pretended to be shy on the surface.
"Then I said, you can't blame me!"
"Go ahead! I don't blame you!"
Wang Jiaying suppressed the nausea in her heart, pinched her throat and twisted her body around.
"I just heard you say that you were about to be promoted to level seven, and I felt that the distance between me and you seemed to have suddenly widened..."
