I Guarantee You'll Die (First Update)
"Dead?"
Ying Xiong's words struck Su Mo like a bolt from the blue. Su Mo, who had been harboring many doubts about Shen Yitian, was immediately stunned.
I still remember the first time I met Shen Yitian, who was serious and extremely professional.
After discussing some details, he didn't even linger, grabbing his umbrella and leaving in a hurry to complete the design. This serious and rigid high-level scholar, just like that, died? "Dead! He knew too much, and he was going to cause trouble, so Ying Tianlong just killed him. I don't know how he died, but our family members are very tight-lipped about it and haven't discussed it in detail."
Su Mo frowned, listening to Ying Xiong's words, his mind racing with thoughts.
Based on previous speculation, even if Shen Yitian wasn't a major participant, he was at least an accomplice.
Watching design drawings flow from one's hands while ignoring their flaws is not the professional conduct expected of a senior engineer.
But now, "Ying Tianlong must have killed him?"
"He definitely killed him. Before the incident, he specifically instructed his subordinates to cooperate. I don't know the specific details, but he definitely did it!"
Ying Xiong spoke with great certainty. Su Mo thought about it and felt that Ying Xiong would not lie about something that had nothing to do with his own interests.
At the same time, a feeling of sadness welled up in Su Mo's heart.
If Ying Xiong is not mistaken, Shen Yitian's death was probably due to this design drawing that he commissioned.
If he hadn't gone to make the request that night, Shen Yitian might still be alive today, still dedicating himself to revitalizing the Tundra Shelter.
Such a scholar, who insisted on his principles even when facing a life-threatening situation, such a respectable person, was thus harmed by his own kind? In the dead of winter, even with his Combat Suit to keep warm, Su Mo only felt cold all over.
Looking at Ying Xiong, who was slumped on the ground, Su Mo's gaze hardened, as if he had made a decision, and he put the spear back into his Storage Space.
"Want some?"
Shaking the remaining two hundred milliliters of Psionic Water in his hand, Su Mo's expression resembled that of a creepy uncle trying to lure a little girl.
Ying Xiong on the ground reacted much faster this time than before, nodding repeatedly with a look of longing to be filled and satisfied.
"Want some water? Make a video call to Ying Tianlong. I'll say a few words to him, and then we'll discuss how this water is yours, and the road ahead is yours too!"
When the bottle containing the Psionic Water was moved to the left, Ying Xiong's gaze followed it to the left; when the bottle was moved to the right, Ying Xiong's gaze followed it to the right.
The blue dots changed with the gestures, like a deadly poison, exuding their own unique charm.
I thought Ying Xiong would still be hung up on this matter, but in reality, Ying Xiong brought up his game interface almost without thinking, indicating that there was no problem at all.
"Ying Tianlong is a beast. Even if you, Su God, were to beat him up and curse him, it would be a disgrace to me, Ying Xiong, to have such a beastly relative."
As he spoke, Ying Xiong angrily slapped the snow beside him, cursing and swearing, looking as if he was determined to sever all ties.
Unfortunately, the movement was too forceful, aggravating his wound and causing him to twitch in pain.
Standing to the side, watching Ying Xiong's performance, Su Mo's face remained completely expressionless.
On the contrary, it was the first time Su Mo had ever seen someone else's game interface, which piqued his curiosity greatly.
As Ying Xiong endured the pain, concentrated, and summoned his Game Panel, his pupils began to dilate, when a message suddenly echoed in Su Mo's ears.
[Record]: Player "Ying Xiong" wants to share his game interface with you. Do you accept? At the same time, even though Su Mo was not paying attention, his own blue panel popped up, prompting him with the connection option.
Having confirmed that there were no problems, Su Mo silently accepted the arrangement.
A phantom ripple flashed through the air, and a screen belonging to Ying Xiong suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Unlike Su Mo's own sky blue screen, this screen flashed a green that signified the absence of any danger.
Ying Xiong was also seeing his interface change to this color for the first time, his expression revealing a hint of shock that Su Mo barely noticed! "Call Ying Tianlong! What are you standing there for?"
Seeing Ying Xiong's blank, thoughtful expression, Su Mo shouted sharply.
Startled by this display of force, Ying Xiong quickly shrank back and began dialing a phone.
After the interface was shared, the chat information between Ying Xiong and Ying Tianlong could also be seen simultaneously. Before the call was connected, Su Mo instructed Ying Xiong to browse through it a few times.
The information above is quite simple and largely consistent with what Ying Xiong said, with only minor differences in details, which are insignificant.
"Didn't answer? Keep calling!"
Ying Tianlong seemed to be busy; this time, the phone rang for only four or five seconds before he hurriedly hung up.
Instructing Ying Xiong to continue dialing, Su Mo patiently waited while listening to the dial tone.
However, even on the fourth attempt, that old dog Ying Tianlong still hung up, and each time it was faster than the last.
"Good! Excellent! Tell Ying Tianlong that you've got my treasure! Ask him if he wants it!"
With a cold laugh, Su Mo watched as Ying Tianlong called back immediately after Ying Xiong sent the message. He then immediately put his newfound knowledge to use, instructing Ying Xiong to hang up the call.
After being hung up five times in a row, Su Mo finally instructed Ying Xiong to connect on the sixth attempt.
The screen flickered for a moment, and as the signal stabilized, Ying Tianlong's face appeared on the screen.
When Su Mo first saw this beast, he remembered its appearance at a glance.
Nothing more.
Ying Tianlong's appearance is simply too distinctive.
A scar ran along Ying Tianlong's left forehead and down to the bottom of his right chin.
That wasn't all. His entire face looked as if it had been scalded with hot water, covered with distorted skin and mucous membranes from his injuries. Combined with his lewd grin, it was utterly repulsive to look at.
"Ying Xiong, you got your hands on Su Mo's treasure? What is it? Tell your uncle quickly, what kind of good stuff is it that makes this guy live so comfortably!"
At first glance, Ying Tianlong's eyes gleamed with lust, failing to notice Ying Xiong's Ying Xiong pale face due to blood loss.
The snowy landscape behind Ying Xiong's background was also not visible, nor was Oreo standing in the corner of the video.
He gestured for Ying Xiong to flip the video. In the video, Ying Xiong's face suddenly disappeared, and in its place was Su Mo's smiling face.
"Ying Tianlong, it's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Su Mo. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Seeing Ying Tianlong's face darken in the video, Su Mo's smile gradually widened.
Meanwhile, the anger that had been building up inside Su Mo because of Shen Yitian's death made his eyes seem to be spitting fire.
"Hahaha, I was wondering how you, you old dog, could be so ugly. No wonder you survived the apocalypse; it turns out you scared away the monsters with your dog face, didn't you?"
"The things I like are vulgar, but they do make me happy. You're vulgar too, but you're a piece of trash. You don't actually think you can get my 'treasure' by relying on these people, do you? Huh? Have you fried your brain?"
While Ying Tianlong was still confused, Su Mo spoke very quickly and launched a classic confrontation.
Given the distance between the two of them, it's unrealistic to think they can deal with Ying Tianlong right now.
But there are some things a person can be useless at, but they cannot refrain from doing! "Young man, you don't understand."
"I bet you're going to threaten me again, saying what you'll do in the future. Hey, Ying Tianlong, you're not a three-year-old. What are you threatening me for? I think it's uncertain whether you'll even survive this disaster. You'd better shut your mouth and stop spouting nonsense all day long."
As a keyboard warrior in the game, if Su Mo couldn't even subdue someone as shameless as Ying Tianlong, he naturally wouldn't make this call and get angry for nothing.
On the other end of the video call, Ying Tianlong's old face showed no emotion.
But from the tension in the muscles around his neck, Su Mo could still sense the unease in his heart.
"Getting impatient? Come on, what do you have to say?" With a shrug, Su Mo handed over the right to speak.
"Su Mo."
"Ying Tianlong, don't worry, it won't be long. When I see you again, you will be dead, I promise!"
"I promise!"
Just as Ying Tianlong uttered his name, Su Mo, whose hand had been hanging limply at his waist, rudely interrupted him.
At the same time, he suddenly drew his pistol and, without even looking, shot Ying Xiong in the forehead.
The deafening roar, accompanied by Ying Xiong's screams, and Su Mo's final smile, were etched into the scene.
Seeing Ying Tianlong finally unable to hold back his astonished expression, and the national curse that was about to be uttered.
The moment the video ended, Su Mo lost all composure and burst out laughing!
"Ying Tianlong, one day I'll make you pay for scheming against me."
Solemnly recording Ying Tianlong on the kill list in the Doomsday Laws, Su Mo looked at Ying Xiong, who still had an incredulous Ying Xiong, with icy eyes.
No matter how Ying Xiong or flowery Ying Xiong's words may be,
Shen Yitian was killed by Ying Tianlong because Ying Xiong leaked the base's location! Harming his own people, betraying humanity, and leaking the design plans—any one of these crimes alone could have earned him countless executions.
Ending his suffering so simply, without letting all the humans still in the camp vent their anger on him, was already a very lenient way of treating him.
After rummaging around, Su Mo found the Shelter Core beneath Ying Xiong.
It was damaged, and no different from an ordinary person's.
"After all this time, working like a dog for others and still not making anything of himself, this kind of person still wants to play mind games. Even without me, he'll ruin himself one day."
After calling out to Oreo, Su Mo didn't have much time to dig a hole and bury Ying Xiong. He simply summoned a shovel and collapsed the top, burying Ying Xiong underneath.
"Be a good person in your next life!"
Su Mo glanced at Ying Xiong, who still had half a foot outside the landslide, then turned and left.
With the footprints of the way there, the return journey was incredibly smooth this time.
With practiced ease, Su Mo returned to the base in less than ten minutes.
During this process, he even used leaves to wipe away most of the bloodstains on his body and used snow to clean the thick blood plasma off the spear.
Without the thick stench of blood, his originally menacing appearance suddenly became more kind and refined.
From a distance, Su Mo first used his Old Phone to observe everyone's positions, and then used binoculars to confirm that there were no problems before slowly emerging from the shadows.
