Chapter 93

On the other side.

Zhao Zibing left the palace and rushed to the hospital.

In the intensive care unit, she saw Xia Huilan, who was still asleep.

"Did she wake up this morning?" Zhao Zibing asked.

"Yes, she just fell asleep again. I guess she's about to wake up," Xia Ni said with a smile.

"How do you know?" Zhao Zibing asked.

"I have a connection with her, and her pulse and brain activity also indicate that," Xia Ni replied.

Zhao Zibing looked at Xia Huilan.

She yawned and said sleepily, "What time is it?"

"It's five minutes past one in the afternoon," Xia Ni replied.

"Ah, I'll sleep a bit more. Sleeping is so comfortable," Xia Huilan said, turning over.

"Let me remind you, we have a visitor," Xia Ni said with a smile.

Xia Huilan opened her eyes and immediately saw Zhao Zibing.

She sat up from the bed and said apologetically,

"I'm sorry, Princess, I must look a mess."

"It's fine. You're Xia Wu's sister, and we have a good relationship. I came to see you because it's only right," Zhao Zibing said.

"It seems you also brought me to the hospital," Xia Huilan said.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters. I have something to ask you," Zhao Zibing said.

"What is it?" Xia Huilan asked.

Zhao Zibing opened her phone and tapped lightly.

Several diagrams of mechs immediately appeared on Xia Huilan's phone screen.

"These are a few types of mechs I discovered in another world. They are very advanced. You are the top expert in mechs, so I want you to take a look," Zhao Zibing said.

Xia Huilan was stunned, picked up the phone, and couldn't take her eyes off it.

"They are very advanced... much more advanced than the 92025 robot I designed..." she murmured.

Zhao Zibing watched her silently, her expression subtly changing.

The parallel world is three years ahead.

If Xia Huilan sees the mechs from three years in the future now, how will she react?

What impact will this have on our world?

Zhao Zibing thought to herself.

Suddenly,

Xia Huilan spoke.

"Thank you for showing me these designs. I need to study them and make some improvements to our mechs."

"What kind of improvements?" Zhao Zibing asked.

"Something even better," Xia Huilan said.

She beckoned to Xia Ni.

Xia Ni immediately took out a laptop and handed it to her.

Xia Huilan immediately entered work mode, her hands flying over the keyboard as she said,

"I understand these designs. They are just those things, but I already have an idea to surpass them. I'll start working on it now and try to finish it soon."

"But it's too late, sister. Xia Wu has to go tonight," Xia Ni said.

Xia Huilan's hands paused.

She seemed to enter a certain state, unaffected by anything around her.

A few minutes later,

She deleted everything she had typed and started over.

"Xia Ni."

"Yes."

"Go with Xia Wu tonight."

"Okay, don't worry, sister."

"I can't help but worry. I'll design some uniforms and equipment for you to make you stronger."

"Hehe, you're the best, sister."

Zhao Zibing's eyes twitched as she listened.

—Does this woman know what she's saying?

She felt awkward, unsure whether to stand or leave, and didn't know what else to say.

Suddenly, Xia Huilan turned to look at her.

"May I ask, what's the current situation in the other world?"

"…It's heading towards destruction."

"So, there are almost no humans left, right?" Xia Huilan asked.

"Yes," Zhao Zibing replied.

"Each time you go there, it becomes more dangerous—wasn't it very dangerous last night?" Xia Huilan asked again.

Zhao Zibing was a bit puzzled but nodded, "Only one in ten people who go there come back. There are very few awakened people left in the world now."

"Princess, I have a favor to ask," Xia Huilan said.

Zhao Zibing was taken aback.

She came here to give Xia Huilan the designs and data of mechs from the parallel world three years ahead, asking her to think of ways to design more advanced mechs.

She didn't expect that Xia Huilan would also have a favor to ask.

"Go on," Zhao Zibing said.

"Can you give me a few of the empire's nuclear bombs?" Xia Huilan asked.

"…Xia Huilan, do you know what you're saying?"

"I do. I'll load some nuclear bombs for you to use in the other world—since it's going to be destroyed anyway, the most important thing is for you to come back alive, isn't it?"

Zhao Zibing paused, suddenly remembering the huge monsters she saw last night.

Regular attacks were completely ineffective.

Nuclear weapons…

At the time, humans chose to use nuclear weapons to wipe the place out.

Maybe it really worked?

With this thought, Zhao Zibing became somewhat interested.

"Wait for my news. I need to go back and consult. Even if it's approved, the usage rights will be strictly controlled by me, not by her," Zhao Zibing said, glancing at Xia Ni.

"No problem, I just want you and Xia Wu to come back safely," Xia Huilan said firmly.

Zhao Zibing nodded, turned, and quickly left.

She walked out of the ward, through the corridor, down the stairs, and back to her car.

Only when the car started moving did she murmur,

"Such a sister, who wouldn't like her…"

…

On the other side.

Dongjin City.

"Who isn't afraid of death? Death is like the ultimate punishment, and no one can escape it," Li Kunlun said casually.

Wu Xiaode looked at him deeply and suddenly smiled.

"Actually, it's like this—

"I came to talk to you about joining the film company."

"Someone will contact you later. Once you have a better understanding of our company, we can sign the contract. Is that okay?"

"Of course."

"Great, we'll meet later—by then, you'll get some surprises," Wu Xiaode said mysteriously.

"See you later," Li Kunlun said, curious and excited.

Wu Xiaode waved at him, walked to the car by the basketball court, and got in.

At this moment, Li Kunlun noticed that six black cars were parked on the road outside the court.

As he watched, the cars slowly moved and quickly left the school.

Twenty minutes later.

On the plane.

Wu Xiaode picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Li Kunlun's materials have been sent to you… Yes, take a look."

"Why should I do this?" Xiao Baihong's annoyed voice came from the receiver.

"Help me out, I'm really busy. You can help him awaken," Wu Xiaode said.

"I've never heard of helping someone awaken," Xiao Baihong said.

"It is possible. I've done it before."

"You?"

"Yes. I'll tell you about Qian Mingkui's case, and then—

"This Li Kunlun is afraid of death. You can scare him to see if it awakens him."

"Afraid of death? That sounds interesting—But is he really worth it?"

"Trust me, he is."

"Alright, I'll trust you this time. I'll take care of it. Take me out for dinner tonight."

"Sure!"

The call ended.

Wu Xiaode leaned back, rested on the seat, and took a few minutes to relax.

The Book of the Undead suddenly opened, showing lines of icy text:

"Xia Huilan's fate has changed again."

"Note: The fate line of the current world has already changed once. This is the second time. If it changes a third time, the current world will undergo unprecedented changes."

Wu Xiaode's heart skipped a beat.

The first time Xia Huilan's fate changed was when he returned from the Death Pit and saved her.

At that time, her fate change led to many things changing.

Now it's the second time.

What happened?

Why does her fate line affect the world so much?

As he thought, a message popped up on his phone:

"Your sister is fine, no need to worry. I showed her the mech information from the other world."

"She's designing new mechs."

This was a message from Zhao Zibing.

So that's it!

Wu Xiaode immediately called Xia Huilan's number.

After a moment, he found it couldn't connect.

Then, the phone automatically connected to another number.

Xia Ni's voice came through:

"Xiao Wu, she's designing mechs and doesn't want anyone to disturb her. Even I was kicked out."

"Is Lan Jie feeling better?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"She slept and is much better now. Don't worry."

"That's good. I'll come over after I finish my work."

"Okay, we'll wait for you."

The call ended.

Everything was unstoppable, and he didn't want to stop it either.

Now, let Xia Huilan design even stronger mechs to help the future.

And he needed to become stronger immediately!

Wu Xiaode looked at the floating Book of the Undead.

Seemingly sensing his will, the book opened, showing lines of icy text:

"A new day has begun."

"Current soul power: 18/18, virtue 1."

"You can use today's permission to accept a new commission from the Wall of Wishes."

"Find a commission," Wu Xiaode thought.

Mist suddenly appeared.

Endless mist enveloped the surroundings like an illusion.

In the swirling mist, a broken wall appeared.

The Wall of Wishes!

Wu Xiaode placed his hand on the wall and said softly, "Come, give me today's commission."

The next second,

Among the densely packed slips of paper on the Wall of Wishes, one slip fluttered in the wind, detached from the wall, and slowly landed in Wu Xiaode's hand.

The slip read:

"1500 years ago."

"When I was in trouble, I rested in White Horse Village for a while."

"The people there were very simple and took care of me."

"But White Horse Village is about to be destroyed."

"Who can save those villagers?"

"If someone can do it, I will offer soul power and some sword techniques as a reward."

Sword techniques?

Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.

First, the Iron Wire Fist, then the Wind and Snow Lone Traveler's saber techniques, and now a spirit can teach sword techniques.

This should be a low-level human civilization world.

But so many powerful spirits have stayed here.

—Although only I know this, it's actually very important.

Is this world really so low-level?

Wu Xiaode thought of the church deep underground and the roar of the one-eyed giant from even deeper.

The Death Pit is deep underground.

Even deeper, there is a palace full of black eggs.

Then?

Are there even more terrifying monsters hidden underground?

Wu Xiaode shook his head and temporarily put these questions aside.

The most important thing now is to become stronger!

He said,

"I accept this commission."

As soon as he spoke, the slip turned into a cluster of fine light points.

The light points danced in the air and gradually merged into Wu Xiaode's body.

He closed his eyes and quickly understood the situation.

In three hours,

White Horse Village will be massacred.

He must get there immediately!

Wu Xiaode checked the navigation, stood up, and walked to the cockpit.

"Hello, can I help you?"

A charming flight attendant asked.

"Can we change the flight to Qinshan City?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Of course. This flight is for your service. We will start the scheduling immediately," the flight attendant said with a sweet smile.
