Chapter 1027 Xiao Bai's Intentions

"What! Say that again!"

Deep in the mining area, when Qin Zhong heard the news brought by Wang Yue, the elements in his body almost became chaotic as he was resonating with them.

After Qin Zhong had exerted a great deal of effort to calm the rampaging elements within his body, he turned around and asked with a look of surprise, "Are you sure you don't have a fever or are talking nonsense? Xiao Yibai and Ding Kai appeared outside the base and claimed they wanted to see me?"

"I wouldn't dare joke about something like this, Brother Qin. You should go back now, the whole base is going crazy!"

Seeing Qin Zhong's incredulous expression, Wang Yue tugged at his sleeve and said, "You know how strong Xiao Yibai is. He's not someone we can handle. Luckily, they didn't do anything too outrageous after they appeared. They just claimed they wanted to see you, but that already made us very nervous!"

Wang Yue was right; they were indeed terrified when Xiao Yibai and Ding Kai appeared outside the base.

Ordinary soldiers were unaware of Xiao Yibai's terrifying power, but Wang Boshen and others had seen the battle video of Xiao Yibai and Aoman, and were well aware of this man's terrifying combat strength.

If this guy has a moment of despair and goes on a killing spree inside the base, he could probably empty out more than half of it.

"Why is Xiao Yibai coming to see me out of the blue? Is he here to take revenge?"

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Qin Zhong's brows furrowed instantly. Although after his battle with Chen Fang, he was certain that he possessed combat strength no less than Xiao Yibai's, it was still just a guess.

It's important to understand that in a battle between two people, combat strength is only one aspect; combat experience is even more crucial. No matter how confident Qin Zhong is, he doesn't believe that someone like him, who only became an evolved human after the apocalypse, can truly fight someone like Xiao Yibai to a draw.

Besides, even if I could escape, what would happen to all the people at the base?

"No, I have to go back right away!"

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong took a deep breath, told Wang Yue to come back later, and then leaped out of the mine at an extremely fast speed.

After bursting out of the mine, Qin Zhong immediately spread his four wings and flew towards the base. In less than a minute, he was flying over the base.

Fortunately, the tragic scene of corpses strewn across the land that he had imagined did not materialize.

At this moment, Xiao Yibai was standing quietly on an open ground a few hundred meters away from the base, while outside the base gate, Ding Kai was communicating with Yan Shikai and Wang Boshen.

On the base's perimeter wall, almost all the evolved beings had gathered there, their faces tense, ready to fight at any moment.

"Brother Qin, it's Brother Qin back!"

As Qin Zhong's figure streaked across the sky, everyone on the wall breathed a sigh of relief.

In their minds, as long as Qin Chong returns, there is nothing that cannot be resolved.

"Ding Kai, long time no see!"

With a sudden descent, Qin landed heavily in front of Ding Kai, his gaze simultaneously turning to Xiao Yibai.

"Hehe, Brother Qin, long time no see..." Ding Kai's pupils contracted slightly when he saw Qin Zhong coming alone.

After not seeing him for a while, Qin Chong felt completely different from before. Although Qin Chong was strong before, he could only feel a strong pressure in front of him.

But the feeling Qin Zhong gave him now was just like the feeling Xiao Yibai gave him: majestic as a mountain, surging as the sea, with no discernible depth.

However, he quickly composed himself and greeted Qin Chong with a smile, reminiscing about the past. Ding Kai's smile was very sincere, and judging from his expression alone, no one would guess that Qin Chong was once Qin Chong's sworn enemy who had swept away the capital's foundation.

……

"Hehe, long time no see. I wonder how Mr. Shen and Principal Leng have been lately?"

Seeing Ding Kai's beaming face, Qin Zhong also put on a smile and said, "Last time, because of the invasion of arrogance, I almost died there. If it weren't for Minister Li Lian's life-or-death struggle, I'm afraid I would have..."

"Yes, I understand."

Ding Kai chuckled softly, turned to look at Xiao Yibai not far away, and said with a smile, "This visit is at the behest of Elder Shen and Director Xiao. Both of you hope to form an alliance with your department to jointly resist the invasion of the Demon Mountain."

"Oh, Director Xiao actually takes a liking to a nobody like me?"

Upon hearing Ding Kai's words, Qin Zhong looked surprised and asked, "Actually, in terms of combat strength, my Tiangang organization has only been established for a short time, and its foundation is naturally not as good as other organizations. For example, the Bayu Military Government is very suitable as an ally. Why would you think of a penniless guy like me?"

To be honest, Qin Zhong had prepared for the two sides to fall out beforehand. After all, he had taken advantage of the situation to seize all the supplies in the Kyoto base. He thought it was impossible for them to be so magnanimous as to not pursue the matter.

But at this moment, the sudden reversal was beyond Qin Zhong's expectations, and he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Hehe, Qin Zhong, excessive modesty is hypocrisy."

Just then, Xiao Yibai suddenly looked up at Qin Zhong, his gaze icy, and his voice equally cold as he said, "You are also human. In this apocalypse, you either surrender to the X-star people, like Devil Mountain, and become an obedient dog; or you stand tall like a human being, ally with us, and fight for the future of humanity. The choice is yours!"

"Ok?"

Xiao Yibai's words, though brief, were profound. After listening, Qin Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly. He had to admit that Xiao Yibai understood perfectly well that he indeed had no third way to go.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't waste any more words."

After a moment's thought, Qin Zhong shrugged and said, "Forming an alliance is no problem, but I'm a little curious why you came to me today to form an alliance."

"Because of Principal Leng!"

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xiao Yibai took a deep breath and said, word by word, "If it were up to my nature, I probably would have already taught you a lesson for being such a bold junior. But Principal Leng told us that you are humanity's only hope. Although I don't believe you can become humanity's savior, I do believe in Principal Leng. So, I'll reluctantly form an alliance with you!"

"Oh!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yibai's words, Qin Zhong lowered his head and pondered. He had to admit that he had heard Principal Leng say more than once that he could predict the future, and that he seemed to have the approval of the upper echelons of the Kyoto government.

But the key question is, can I really become the person everyone expects me to be?

"Okay, I believe you, but I hope that our alliance is not just a facade while we are secretly plotting against each other."

Qin Zhong raised his head, looked at Xiao Yibai, and said, "You should also know the fighting power of the X-star people. If we cannot sincerely form an alliance, I'm afraid we will only end up dying together. So, either we don't form an alliance, or after forming an alliance, we sincerely cooperate to eliminate Demon Mountain as soon as possible, and then fight against the X-star people's invasion with all our might!"

Since things have come to this point, Qin Zhong might as well be more explicit.

In his view, the Kyoto government was no longer trustworthy, and it would be too tiring and not worth it to continue the infighting they had done before.
