After the Skyfall

Chapter 825 Disagreement
Through conversation, Li Yi gained some understanding of the living dead in this world. Strictly speaking, these special people with the identity of living dead did not possess extraordinary power.

They simply possess some characteristics of the dead after experiencing death; otherwise, they are not much different from ordinary people. They remain fragile, can be killed by guns, and cannot achieve immortality.

The only useful thing about them is that the world needs these living dead to communicate with the dead and deal with the disasters caused by them.

After understanding this, Li Yi lost interest and didn't want to explore how the dead existed. He had only been in this world for a short time, and these living dead just needed to help him get rid of that building.

The next day, in the evening.

"Mr. Taiyi, the operation targeting the dead bodies in the sealed-off area of ​​Huaimu City is about to begin at 10 o'clock. Would you like to go to the scene to take a look?" Minister Wang Jianming came to inform him personally at around 8 o'clock.

"You guys are pretty punctual. I hope this operation won't disappoint me. After all, you've already accepted the benefits, and I'll be very unhappy if you can't deliver."

Inside the conference room, Li Yi, seated atop auspicious clouds, was reviewing various records related to the deaths.

Official channels are always the most direct and effective way to understand the truth about the dead in this world.

He put down the files in his hand and looked at Wang Jianming.

Minister Wang Jianming's expression hardened, and he immediately said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Taiyi, this time the team we have dispatched is a highly experienced living dead squad. We are sure to succeed. Moreover, this time, Chief Zhao Hongjie has also used all available resources to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

He understood, of course, that this was not just a simple operation; it represented a promise to Taiyi and the very survival of the world.

If that building cannot be destroyed.

Then the war in the other world will very likely spread here. The people of this world are already having enough trouble dealing with the dead, and they simply don't have the strength to deal with a powerful figure like Taiyi.

"That's good. You don't need to worry about me anymore. I'll be watching you from the skies above the city. If you successfully complete your mission, I'll give you a gift before I leave." Li Yi withdrew his gaze and walked forward.

A cloud of auspiciousness rose from beneath his feet, and then, ignoring what lay ahead, he passed directly through the wall and flew into the sky outside in the blink of an eye.

Can it even pass through walls?

A look of surprise flashed in Wang Jianming's eyes.

This incredible, extraordinary power can overturn one's worldview no matter how many times one sees it, and the endless stream of methods Li Yi displays leaves no doubt that if he were to get angry, he could destroy this world with ease.

After all, all it takes is a large-scale natural disaster to break the balance between the living and the dead, and make everything here cease to exist.

"All departments, get ready. Taiyi has left the building and is heading over Huaimu City. Everyone, proceed according to plan. As I said before, whatever needs Mr. Taiyi may have during this time, everyone must try their best to meet them."

"Furthermore, this operation is not just a war between the living and the dead, but also concerns the fate of the entire world. I wish all the living good health."

Wang Jianming took out a walkie-talkie and said a few words in a very solemn and brief manner.

at the same time.

Li Yi has returned to the previously sealed-off area, riding on auspicious clouds.

This time, however, because of him, a large number of people participated in the operation. Just outside the blockade zone, he saw many armed personnel directly blocking road traffic.

There were also many armed helicopters in the sky.

Although the world's technology has only developed to around the 1990s, it already has all the necessary weapons and equipment.

Within the lockdown zone.

Many of the undead have already begun preparing for the operation. Li Yi had seen some of them before, such as the woman named Han Chuan, the man with half of his body burned, and a young man dressed in what looked like a shroud for the dead, although these people were all of different ages.

However, it must be extraordinary that someone could be urgently mobilized by a country to participate in this operation at this moment.

"According to the rules of this world, at 10 p.m., the living go to sleep and the dead are active. I'd like to know how they used their status as the living dead to kill those three invisible ghosts."

Li Yi thought to himself, then glanced behind him.

The dead body lying behind him still exists.

Moreover, after enduring the first day, by the evening of the second day, the thing had become increasingly heavy. This weight could easily crush a living person to death, but for Li Yi, it was still within his tolerance range.

As time goes by little by little.

The undead within the sealed-off area also began to move.

Instead of deploying everyone, they selected ten people to form a temporary team. If they failed, a second team, and a third team, would take their place. Clearly, when dealing with the dead, more people aren't always better.

"Everyone, I am Zhang Yan, the team leader in charge of this area in Huaimu City."

At that moment, a middle-aged man approached the makeshift team and went straight to the point: "In that building ahead, we can confirm that there are three dead bodies: a man, a woman, and a girl. They look like a family of three."

"But these three victims were not simple."

Zhang Yan was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"No need to say so much. I know how dangerous this family of three is. The entire building has become a haunted house. Such dead people are rare. Moreover, if the living dead in Huaimu City could be dealt with, there would be no need to seal off this area."

"Moreover, the higher-ups are attaching extraordinary importance to this mission. Judging from the personnel configuration, this is a mission that must be completed. In other words, all of us undead can die, but we must eliminate those three undead and dismantle this haunted house, right?"

A man reeking of decay and stench stared at Zhang Yan with numb eyes.

Zhang Yan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Jiang Yan, this is a mission that must be completed."

"Is it because of that person?" A living dead man next to him pointed to the sky.

But the next moment, Han Chuan immediately slapped the living dead man's hand away, his gray-white eyes revealing a warning: "Don't point randomly. Just do your own thing. That person, no, that one can't even be called a person. He has the power to destroy the world of the living."

“That’s right. Someone who can cut out a river over a hundred kilometers long with a single finger can’t really be called human. Calling him a god wouldn’t be an exaggeration. So all of us here have become monkeys, and we’re going to put on a show of a war between the living and the dead for him?” The man just sneered at Han Chuan.

Han Chuan coldly said, "You're wrong. This isn't a performance. This is about saving our world. Since you know that the one above you possesses that level of power, you probably don't want to see a group of such beings fighting and killing each other in our world."

"This building is unintentionally connected to another world. He came to our world through this building. If we cannot destroy this building, countless more people like him will appear in the future."

"So that's how it is." The expressions of the crowd gradually became serious.

They were urgently summoned here and didn't know much about the inside story. They only knew a little bit about many things, so they inevitably had suspicions in their hearts.

"What if the building is destroyed, and the one on top doesn't intend to leave and plans to stay in our world forever? Can't we make him leave first before we take action?" Suddenly, the man named Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.

Han Chuan frowned.

She didn't think too much about it; she was just obeying orders and doing what she was supposed to do. After all, the person she was dealing with was the superior, and what agreement was reached was beyond her knowledge.

But Jiang Yan's words sparked some unusual thoughts in them.

If the operation goes smoothly and the building is destroyed, wouldn't Taiyi remain in this world forever, and no one from another world be able to subdue him?
If that's the case, the entire world will become this person's plaything in the future.

"I think it's necessary to communicate with the higher-ups about this matter, and the operation should be postponed." Han Chuan immediately looked at Zhang Yan and said very seriously.

Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Whatever the problem, let's finish this task first."

“It will be too late once the mission is completed,” Jiang Yan said in a deep voice. “Moreover, this opportunity only comes once, and it concerns the fate of the world. Are we going to treat it so casually? If this problem is not resolved, I refuse to take action.”

"Me too." Someone immediately agreed with him.

Han Chuan also frowned, lost in thought.

Zhang Yan's face darkened. He hadn't expected such a conflict to arise so close to the operation's time.

"You need to understand what the consequences will be if you refuse this mission. I'll say it again: complete the mission first and don't think about anything else. As for that person's existence, someone will take care of it."

“If this Taiyi decides to live in this world forever, it will be a real catastrophe for us. Haven’t you ever wondered what if this person is immortal?” Jiang Yan said, “I don’t care about death. I’m just doing my best to correct the mistakes you’ve made.”

"This world is too small to contain the existence of a god."

Zhang Yan immediately fell silent.

He had to admit that Jiang Yan's words made sense. If the building were destroyed after the mission was completed, severing the connection with the other world, Taiyi might just decide to stay here and not leave.

With his power and abilities, the entire world will become his plaything.

No one can afford to bear the risk of the world collapsing.

After all, you only get one chance; if you choose wrong, you're doomed.
