At this moment, Lin Fan and his companions arrived in the subterranean world. Observing their surroundings, their minds were filled with questions. What exactly was going on? Thinking carefully, Lin Fan recalled scenes from his past life in this world.
Everything had been beautiful.
Aside from the cities occupied by monsters, forcing humanity to defend their territories, life had been secure.
"How could anyone live underground?" Lin Fan wondered.
He wanted to explore further.
Perhaps something unknown to him had occurred.
"Is anyone there?" Lin Fan called out.
No one responded.
It was very quiet.
As if everyone had vanished.
Long Shen said, "It seems we're being treated as enemies."
Lin Fan replied, "I bear no ill will."
"Who knows?" Long Shen chuckled. Indeed, whether he held malice or not, others couldn't know. If they knew he was harmless, they would have appeared long ago.
Seeing no one emerge, Old Zhang also helped Lin Fan shout, "We are the good guys, not the bad guys!"
The evil rooster glanced at Old Zhang as if he were a fool. Even a fool wouldn't say such a thing.
We are the good guys?
Not the bad guys?
Whoever believes that is a fool.
"Hen, what's wrong?" Old Zhang asked, noticing the hen looking at him with what seemed like admiration. He thought he understood; the words he just spoke seemed perfectly reasonable.
"Cluck, cluck!" the hen replied casually.
The translation was simple:
Idiot!
Ginseng narrowed his eyes. He noticed that since the hen's power surge, it had become a bit arrogant. He couldn't stand it and wanted to tell it, "You're a bit too arrogant. Being a low-key chicken is very important."
"Wait."
Lin Fan raised his hand. Black holes appeared in the surrounding walls, and numerous futuristic cannons emerged.
A vibrating sound echoed.
White light gathered at the muzzles, then transformed into lasers that shot towards Lin Fan and his group.
Lasers pierced through from all directions, blocking their path. These lasers could penetrate any material, no matter how hard.
Lin Fan raised his hand, and a light barrier appeared around them.
When the lasers hit the barrier, they instantly vanished without causing a ripple.
This was their means of resistance.
If this place were truly discovered by the Betrayers of Light, the end result would be a dead end. Resistance was merely to make things difficult for them.
Those operating the cannons were stunned by this sight.
"Impossible."
"What's going on?"
The scene before them left them utterly shocked.
They couldn't believe it.
They knew these weapons couldn't defeat their opponents, but they should at least cause some trouble.
But now…
There was truly no resistance at all.
Lin Fan didn't destroy the weapons. He let the lasers bombard him as he walked forward step by step. He had no choice but to sense his surroundings; he had detected something familiar here.
Long Shen knew Lin Fan didn't intend to retaliate.
He didn't interfere.
He even felt like laughing. These people using these things to attack Lin Fan was like trying to kill someone with feathers.
Soon, Lin Fan arrived at a stone gate. The gate was tightly shut, with a strange white light flowing over it, like some kind of energy substance.
He gripped the crack of the door.
And forced it open.
This scene completely dumbfounded them. This was their last line of defense, how could it be opened so easily?
As the stone gate opened,
Light emerged.
Lin Fan saw many people hiding there. When they saw Lin Fan and his group, their faces were filled with fear and anxiety.
"Hello," Lin Fan said with a smile, withdrawing the light barrier.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"Run, they're here!"
"These damned Betrayers of Light!"
They scattered in all directions as if they had seen the most terrifying thing.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Fan felt quite awkward. He didn't know what was happening. He truly had no other intentions. Touching his face, he felt puzzled.
So strange.
I'm clearly being friendly.
Why do they seem so scared?
Long Shen sighed. As expected, misunderstandings often arose this way. It couldn't be helped. No matter what Lin Fan said now, these people wouldn't believe him.
He was just puzzled about what was happening in this world.
The disparity between the two sides was quite large.
Some lived on the surface, while others lived underground. It was truly a strange situation.
Many people were hiding here, powerless. Faced with this situation, they had no means of resistance and could only huddle in the corners.
As Lin Fan and his companions approached,
These underground people, who mistook Lin Fan for a Betrayer of Light, trembled in fear.
Some held their children.
Some held their wives.
Embracing each other.
Trembling.
Not daring to speak a word.
Just as they thought they were about to be killed, they discovered that these Betrayers of Light didn't attack them. They were very confused, not knowing what was happening.
Lin Fan knew they had misunderstood.
But he didn't want to explain now.
Explanations were pale; actions were more convincing. This situation was perfect. He passed by without harming them, so didn't they feel it was alright?
His friendliness towards them was genuine.
He didn't mean them any harm.
Before long, as Lin Fan was about to reach the control room, the most important place in the underground base, a blocker appeared.
The blocker was an old man, with white hair and decent strength. Compared to the powerless people around him, he seemed out of place.
Long Shen was surprised.
Strange.
A guy with decent strength appeared.
If a cultivation system truly existed, what was going on with these people?
Why didn't they cultivate?
Or was there a problem with this world's cultivation system, with high requirements, not something just anyone could practice?
"Stop!"
The old man blocked Lin Fan's path. He knew he had no chance of winning, but even so, he had to stand up bravely.
Lin Fan said, "I mean you no harm."
The old man replied, "Regardless of your intentions, you are not allowed to pass."
Hearing these words,
Lin Fan shook his head without saying anything more. He had figured it out; some things didn't need too much attention, and they would eventually understand.
Seeing them still approaching, the old man's expression turned serious.
He roared,
"Stop!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
He charged towards Lin Fan at an incredible speed, a powerful force surging from his body. But just as he was about to touch Lin Fan, he was stopped by an invisible force and gently pushed against the wall.
"How…" The old man was shocked.
He couldn't believe it.
