But Su Rou knew that if they didn't leave, Zhao Yunhai would kill Lin Yi again.
If Lin Yi died again, Su Rou would have no way to save him.
The last time she saved Lin Yi, it was a brother by her side who was a healer with resurrection abilities, which was god-like and could only be used once a year, requiring a long cooldown period to recover.
Speaking of which, Su Rou was lucky to have two close brothers with powerful abilities.
"No, if you don't leave, if you die, who will resist the Heavenly Palace in the future."
"Your staying will not change the facts, but if you leave, you can change the future and free tens of thousands of people from the rule of the Heavenly Palace base."
Su Rou didn't just let Lin Yi go; she persuaded him in reverse.
Of course, she didn't say anything about prioritizing the bigger picture, as that would be annoying, and she herself disliked being pressured by others to prioritize the bigger picture.
Su Rou's words indeed had an effect, and Lin Yi's face showed hesitation and struggle.
Su Rou could see Lin Yi's hesitation, so she made a decisive move, forcibly converting Lin Yi into data and following her. The four streams of data then flew towards the sky.
Zhao Yunhai, who was rushing to the scene, suddenly looked at the sky, which appeared normal, and pondered, calculating a divination.
It seemed that the protagonist had sensed him and fled.
"Heh." Zhao Yunhai suddenly sneered, "It seems things will not go as this young master wishes."
"Interesting, very interesting."
"Why did you stop?" Wang Fan asked doubtfully.
"He ran."
Zhao Yunhai sighed, concluding that the other party must have had an esper with scouting abilities.
"Amitabha, the Buddha said, meeting is destiny, and we will meet again sooner or later."
Wuchen, the young monk, seeing that his boss was in a bad mood, couldn't help but comfort him.
"Kid, did the Buddha say that?"
Wang Fan's face darkened, wondering if this little monk thought he didn't understand Buddhist scriptures and was just spouting nonsense.
"This young master is not in a hurry; there is plenty of time to play with them slowly."
"Since they have all left, the bombardment will continue. It will stop in half an hour. If by any chance anyone survives, let them live."
Zhao Yunhai's words decided the fate of everyone in Miracle Base.
Wuchen knew this was his boss's biggest concession. He immediately clasped his hands together and looked at Wang Fan, "I say, since the Buddha said it, I am the Buddha, and the Buddha is me."
"Good heavens, you're rebelling! If your Buddha heard this, he'd kill you, you little brat."
Wang Fan chuckled, finding the kid truly amusing.
"Alright, stop fooling around, and follow this young master out of here."
Since the main target had escaped, Zhao Yunhai was too lazy to search for them. He waved his hand, bringing the two into his spatial domain, and vanished from the spot.
Since Lin Yi and the other protagonists intended to oppose him, there would surely be another meeting.
What is meant to be will be; after all, protagonists acting righteously would naturally confront him.
The Heavenly Palace was their target, so Zhao Yunhai's mindset was very stable.
There was only one Heavenly Palace base, which now exuded authority, ruling over tens of millions of people.
The Heavenly Palace headquarters was located in a towering skyscraper, heavily guarded.
Every elevator and exit here was under strict surveillance.
Those who could enter and exit required rigorous screening, except for Wang Fan and his companions, of course, as they were the ones who decided the fate of the Heavenly Palace.
Looking at the skyscraper from the outside, it resembled a divine pillar suppressing all unrest on the ground.
Zhao Yunhai rested there for a day. Miracle Base had become a ruin, and the other four major bases had also fallen prey to the victor's spoils.
Conquering the four major bases was not difficult. Wang Fan had used the zombie siege to cut off their material trade.
Although the four major bases appeared to be cooperating closely, they were, in reality, like isolated castles, making their respective leaders live in constant fear.
It wasn't that they didn't want to clear the zombies outside; they had tried, but soon stopped.
This was because the zombies outside would become enraged and launch attacks if attacked, but would also cease their assault if the attack stopped.
This made the leaders hesitant to launch attacks, as zombies were terrifying, with several appearing to be formidable and standing still in the center.
These zombies were one of the main reasons humans couldn't deal with them.
Another reason was the lack of unity among people, with everyone having their own agenda. Some wanted to re-establish order, while others sought to profit from the chaos.
No one trusted anyone else; everyone wanted to be the leader, and no one wanted to submit to others.
"Are the supplies here?"
Zhao Yunhai stood at the very top of the skyscraper, gazing at the clouds outside, and asked casually.
"Young Master Yun, everything is ready. We have sufficient ammunition." Wang Fan replied from behind.
Zhao Yunhai turned to look at Wang Fan, "Then let's begin. If you find any trace of those people, inform me immediately."
"Take these and place them where those people are."
Zhao Yunhai tossed a few coins to Wang Fan and said lightly.
"Those people sensed this young master's aura and fled. This time, this young master will ensure they cannot escape even with wings."
Wang Fan took the coins, his eyes filled with confusion, "What are these?"
Si Jinyan, standing nearby, seized the opportunity to retort, "If Young Master Yun tells you to do something, just do it. Stop asking so many questions."
"Am I asking you?" Wang Fan rolled his eyes and scoffed.
"These things can track their location and allow me to find them immediately." Zhao Yunhai ignored their bickering and explained to Wang Fan.
"Understood, Young Master Yun."
After speaking, Wang Fan smugly raised his eyebrows at Si Jinyan, silently provoking him.
Si Jinyan closed his mouth and simply ignored Wang Fan, obediently remaining silent.
This attitude made Wang Fan furious; Si Jinyan always managed to irk him.
"Alright, let's get to work."
A'Da urged Wang Fan to hurry up and stop bickering with Si Jinyan.
Wang Fan, accompanied by Chu Ning, began their mission. This time, they would ambush a large force outside the four major bases. The satellites in the sky had long since become inoperable due to lack of maintenance.
These people were effectively blind, and with the zombie siege, their possibility of going out was virtually cut off.
At most, they could use drones to observe the general movement of the zombies, but they couldn't detect the Heavenly Palace forces hidden in the distance and blended with the environment.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi was hiding in one of the four major bases, discussing countermeasures with Su Rou.
To be honest, Lin Yi had considered gathering all those who were dissatisfied with the Heavenly Palace; after all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
"I've already contacted many people. As long as you're willing to step forward, I'll contact them immediately." Su Rou said solemnly, watching Lin Yi.
Lin Yi slowly stood up, looked at Su Rou and the other two, his gaze firm, and said with conviction.
"In the future, I don't know who will die, but if I die, it will be a death with value. I can die on the road of resisting the Heavenly Palace, not on the road of escape."
