Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 898: Chapter 36: Negotiation (Part 2)

Mafu Lake is a peculiar lake formed after a meteor phenomenon, and there have been quite a few records of aliens in this area.

In the early 20th century, someone discovered a cave in this area with an unknown destination. After decades of exploration, no one has truly reached the bottom of the Mafu Lake cave, so there are rumors that this cave leads to hell, and it’s the only road to hell on Earth.

Considering that the lizards living in this area can enter the underground, someone once attempted to install camera equipment on the lizards to explore underground, but once entering deeper underground, any advanced equipment would malfunction and fail.

After numerous experiments, the US Government finally ordered the "road to hell" to be covered with a soil mound, until the current international exchange activity, proposed by Lady Serlin, to conduct the final team assessment in this area, bringing it back into the public eye.

With a clear objective, Aisha and the others quickly descended until they saw the five openings.

"Descend," Aisha ordered, and the group proceeded toward the central opening.

After entering the central opening, they quickly discovered there was a light source inside.

The darkness was dispelled, but they simultaneously saw two other people.

"Wang Shuai, and you, the lizard girl, who would have expected your luck, five choices, and you picked the right one with a twenty percent chance," Aisha saw others already in the cave, not surprised, but she was somewhat astonished to see that among the three Chinese exchange students, two had entered the only cave with vitality.

Seeing the lizards crawling at Yiyi’s feet, Aisha suddenly realized, she had forgotten that someone could utilize their innate abilities without equipment, letting her lizard partners scout the way.

Wang Shuai followed closely behind Yiyi. As soon as he entered the cave, he rushed down, leveraging his Gold Grade flying abilities to grasp Yiyi’s falling figure.

After pondering for a moment, they decided Yiyi would use the gobi lizards living in this area to walk downward.

Having confirmed the central cave was the way to life, Yiyi deliberately marked the cave so that Xiao Xian would find the correct route upon descending.

Unfortunately, she didn’t expect that a tremor caused Xiao Xian to mistakenly enter another cave.

"Don’t pretend to be mysterious, clearly there are six openings, not five choices. And Ye Heng, you’re indeed in cahoots with them; aren’t you afraid the campus will charge you with treason for your actions this time," Yiyi retorted sharply, inwardly worried why Xiao Xian hadn’t appeared yet.

"What do you mean five or six? Lizard girl, you can’t be so dumb as to not even count. However, your skill in commanding lizards is quite impressive. Being of Beastman descent, if you agree to work with the US Government, you can enjoy the same treatment as the people above ground." Aisha surveyed the surroundings, and upon seeing a lustrous, jade-like white pillar deep inside the cave, her face showed a hint of delight.

The Mafu Stone, it must be the legendary stone pillar formed by Mafu Stone. Such a brilliant material has never been seen on Earth, resembling diamond yet also like suet white jade.

The surface of the pillar glowed with a soft, warm light, and just a glance would make one’s soul sway.

Seeing Aisha’s confident demeanor and Ye Heng’s smug demeanor, Wang Shuai could pretty much guess the situation of those above ground, most likely it was worsened.

Area 51, the US Army’s Air Force base.

Over a hundred different cultivators from various countries; if he were the US Military Government, what would he do?

As someone from the Wang Family, with a military background, Wang Shuai clearly understood what kind of existence different cultivators were to the ruling class over the years.

Different cultivators are both a sharp blade and a blood-poisoning dagger.

Their powerful abilities and life spans beyond ordinary people, whatever the kind, are deadly temptations to governments worldwide.

"Aisha, since we’re all underground, how about we have a negotiation," despite the storm surging in his heart, Wang Shuai tried to remain calm.

"Negotiate? Wang Shuai, at this point, whether above or below ground, you’re surrounded by us inside and out; what negotiation do you think you can make with me? I know you like that lizard girl, as long as you both agree to join us, I guarantee the two of you can be together. Plus, the Wang Family can no longer interfere in any of your affairs. Whatever position you hold in the Chinese military, the US can offer a higher rank." Aisha and other US personnel still hold Wang Shuai in high regard, a leader among the younger generation of Chinese different cultivators.

"The conditions are indeed generous, something to consider. However, I have a few more demands," Wang Shuai took another look at Yiyi, and in a split second, Yiyi saw something in his determined gaze.

"What demands?" Aisha, seeing hope in the negotiation, pressed on.

"First, kill Ye Heng, I detest traitors." Wang Shuai chuckled, pointing the spearhead at Ye Heng.

"You’re crazy, you dare suggest Miss Aisha kill me, Wang Shuai, what do you think you are, we’re both Gold Grade, why would you think Miss Aisha would sacrifice me for you, I can help cultivate the experimental poppies, Miss Aisha, have you forgotten about that batch of sunlight poppies." Ye Heng was startled by Wang Shuai’s words.

"Shut up, Ye Heng, who allowed you to leak laboratory matters," Aisha’s beautiful eyes turned vicious, glaring at Ye Heng, "Sorry, Ye Heng still holds some value to us."

"Then I’m sorry, negotiations have failed. Since there’s nothing left to discuss, it’s a fight to the death," Wang Shuai said, turning over an item in his hand. (To be continued.
