Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

One bombshell announcement after another.

The hunters' expressions varied.

Among them, He Jun is the most obvious.

Her wide eyes and slightly open mouth spoke volumes about her shock and disbelief.

Li Zhi wasn't sure if she was shocked by her question or incredulous that she wanted to travel by airship, but that didn't stop her from choosing her as the starting point early on.

"Since you raided my plain, there have been at least 20 corpses along the way, not even counting the ones dragged away by those hyena orcs. If you say those people have nothing to do with you..."

Li Zhi smiled slightly: "Then I will punish you for breach of contract."

She spread her hands; Article 11, Section 2 of the previous contract clearly stated:

[Party B must provide true and complete information and avoid concealing any material facts. If Party B intentionally conceals facts or fails to fulfill its obligation to inform, Party A has the right to terminate the contract and claim compensation up to 1000 gold (this compensation shall be borne by all members of the Hunter's Guild)].

"1000 gold coins?!" He Jun's voice almost cracked. "Why don't you just rob someone???"

Li Zhi: "I don't want your 1000 gold coins. I'm just a righteous person who wants to get the truth for these dead compatriots."

Li Zhi's gaze lingered on Wu Rentuya and Su Su for a second, then returned to He Jun: "That group that instigated others not to collect Apocalypse Dust, you were the ones who led it, weren't you?"

Through the cloak, He Jun couldn't see Li Zhi's expression, but she could feel his tangible, oppressive gaze.

She swallowed hard, and subconsciously turned her head, wanting to find Su Su.

He Jun was some distance from the railing, and Su Su, who was below the flying boat, couldn't make eye contact with her at all.

But whether it was a mother's heart or something else, Su Su answered the question for her: "We did not instigate anyone not to collect Apocalypse Dust. When we first created the group, we just wanted to use our homemade parachutes to exchange for more resources."

Li Zhi laughed: "Then how come your own parachutes landed safely, while other people's parachutes just crashed down with a thud?"

Su Su: "When we sold the parachutes, we warned that if you didn't have any skydiving experience, we didn't recommend buying them. But everyone who bought them said they had experience. You know how it is for beginners. We can't verify for everyone whether they actually have that kind of experience. Can you blame us for that?"

Li Zhi: "Aunt Su, what I'm asking is, why did you, our own people, everyone land safely, and what a coincidence that you all landed in the same spot?"

Su Su seemed to realize that she couldn't fool Li Zhi by evading the main point, so she sighed softly and said in a frank tone, "Then I'll be frank. We are also selecting team members during the sales process. As you can see, there is already a basic team here. After selecting suitable team members, we will train them in skydiving knowledge. This is a benefit for team members and is not included in the cost of selling parachutes."

Li Zhi glanced at Wu Yin out of the corner of his eye.

Wu Yin still looked pitiful and at a loss.

She secretly took two photos with the panel before continuing, "So, you mean that after training, all of your frail team members landed safely, while those tall consumers were torn to pieces."

Before Su Su could speak, Li Zhi directly exposed, "And one of them is your husband."

Her true eyes can see the identities of the living, and of course, they can also see the corpses.

Especially between related people, there will be arrows connecting them.

Li Zhi discovered a very interesting phenomenon.

Of those who died from the falls, a third had connections with the hunter group; the more severe the fall, the deeper the connection.

Su Su's composure, which she had maintained, shattered, and she looked towards He Jun in a panic.

However, separated by the thick hull of the ship, she couldn't see He Jun's expression at all.

He Jun spoke up, "So what? My mom has tried to persuade him many times. Who can blame him if he insists on jumping?"

Li Zhi: "What about the others?"

He Jun's eyes flashed with hostility: "How would I know about the others?"

Li Zhi looked at Su Su: "Then do you know?"

Su Su fell silent.

This is the biggest secret that allows their hunter group to survive; it must never be known to anyone.

Li Zhi sighed, "It seems you're determined to keep this a secret. In that case, I'll have no choice but to claim some compensation for the loss of information according to the contract..."

He Jun: "You've been planning to steal everything from us for a long time! And you talk about seeking justice? You're a robber!"

Li Zhi: "I've already said I'm not that kind of human. We're all compatriots. I don't want to exterminate you. Just hand over all the Apocalypse Dust."

He Jun's hostile expression faltered for a moment, then he looked somewhat bewildered: "You want the Apocalypse Dust?"

Li Zhi added: "And that flying boat."

He Jun: "You should have said so earlier, but it's just..."

Su Su interrupted her daughter: "He Jun!"

Her voice was resolute: "We absolutely disagree."

Li Zhi: "Then 1000 gold coins."

Urentuya: "You absolutely have to come along. All you've ever wanted is the Apocalypse Dust, haven't you?"

After all this maneuvering, the true intentions are finally revealed.

It would be strange if Urentuya hadn't guessed her purpose.

Li Zhi frankly said, "I really want to know how those people died. Of course, I did come to your hideout because of Tianqi Micro Dust."

After the airship landed, Li Zhi disembarked as if he were in a trance. When he came to his senses, he didn't immediately get back on the ship because he caught a glimpse of the Apocalypse Dust covering the ground.

—At the time, she roughly counted and found that there were more than 30 of them around the airship.

Moreover, all of these apocalyptic dust particles were scattered around the dead.

There are 11 visible corpses on the plains, each surrounded by at least 6 Apocalyptic Dust particles, and there are also many body parts along the path leading into the forest.

How much Apocalyptic Dust might be here?

Before Li Zhi could even finish his calculations, he rushed off to collect the Apocalypse Dust.

She casually mentioned to Master Hao and the others that the price of Apocalypse Dust would increase, because she didn't want them to suspect her actions of digging through the body parts to find Apocalypse Dust.

Later, the hunters arrived.

Li Zhi's first thought was how to escape. He assumed they had come looking for him because the two airships had landed one after the other, making them too conspicuous. He didn't consider the possibility that they were looking towards Tianqi Weichen.

It wasn't until she confronted the hunters and noticed the rustling of the small cloth bags hanging at their waists, and the absence of a single speck of dust around the carcasses stretching into the forest, that she realized how true it was.

Li Zhi guessed that the hunter group might not have come because of them at all, but rather because they already had plans to come here.

Later, Li Zhi piloted the flying boat back to the base with the hunter group, and confirmed his guess halfway there.

The base was too far from the plain where they landed; they couldn't have set off after seeing the airship.

That leaves only one correct answer: these people are well aware that there is Apocalyptic Dust here, and they came specifically for the Apocalyptic Dust.

Then, considering that on the second day of the newbie period, someone was already promoting in the regional chat that you didn't need to collect Apocalypse Dust, and even created a large group with over 1300 members at that time...

Li Zhi didn't even dare to imagine how much Apocalypse Dust the person behind this group had accumulated.

She was afraid that if she got too excited, Tan Sheng and He Jun next to her would notice something was wrong.

What an incredible coincidence!

This allowed her to encounter such a vast amount of Apocalyptic Dust!

I'm grateful to myself for disembarking.

Grateful to the hunters who came to rob us.

Grateful for "luck"!
