ATFBETIBM Chapter 525

Little Overlord was completely surrounded and had no way to escape.

Above, clouds began to gather.

These clouds appeared too suddenly, but everyone’s attention was entirely elsewhere.

“Boom!” A bolt of lightning split the sky, making it look like cracked glass, with spider web-like blue beams shattering the heavens.

“Little Overlord,” Sun Ning’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as she aimed the laser gun in her hand at him, “Today is the day you die.”

A beam of high-molecular light shot out, targeting Little Overlord’s heart.

Little Overlord dodged narrowly, but suddenly he heard the sound of something slicing through the air.

The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Little Overlord looked over and saw a cold, gleaming knife embedded in his arm.

“Fuck,” Little Overlord cursed. He pulled out the knife and threw it on the ground, quickly getting a healing card from his backpack.

A faint, warm green light enveloped his body, but the wound on his arm showed no signs of healing.

Lin Jue had already taken out another knife from his backpack. “My knives aren’t ordinary props. They’re S-level weapon props called ‘Venom Fang,’ that have an added attribute of toxic attack. Anyone hit by my ‘Venom Fang’ will die within eight hours. Even a healing card won’t help. Unless you return to the game lobby, not even a god can save you.”

Little Overlord was burning with anger. His chest ached, and a sweet metallic taste spread from his throat, causing him to cough up blood.

Lin Jue’s eyes were cold. “The poison has entered your lungs. Spitting blood is just the first step. Soon, you’ll feel severe pain in your limbs, and the slightest touch will bring a burning sensation. Then your organs will start to decay. In about six hours, you’ll be unable to move, waiting for death to come.”

Sun Ning frowned. “I wanted to avenge my brother personally, Lin Jue.”

Amid Little Overlord’s astonished gaze, Lin Jue handed the knife in his hand towards Sun Ning. “How about you add another stab?”

“He’ll die more thoroughly.”

Little Overlord: “!”

‘Bastard!’

“Boom!”

Another bolt of lightning struck.

This time the lightning was thick and strong, heading straight for them.

Lin Jue sensed something wrong and pulled Sun Ning, who was closest to him, away and dodged to the side.

The lightning hit the trees and where Lin Jue had stood just moments ago. The lush grass and leaves turned into charred remnants, and flames spread, burning the forest.

Another bolt of lightning gathered overhead, obviously aimed at them.

Hongyue frowned. “Little Overlord, what side are you really on? The Rebel Alliance or the Black Bronze Legion?”

Little Overlord wiped the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand and glanced at the lightning in the sky. “Hehe, take a guess.”

Song Yuantian: “This isn’t the electric shock from the system’s punishment. The system’s punishment is just a sudden electric shock to the body, without such external natural phenomena.”

The wind howled, lightning flashed, and thunder roared.

“It’s nit?” Hongyue could only shout to make her voice heard. “So is this some kind of divine punishment?”

“Forget it, time’s running out. I’ll kill Little Overlord first.”

Seeing Hongyue raise her sword, a figure appeared silently from behind like a ghost, grabbed Little Overlord, and swiftly disappeared.

Hongyue’s sword swept through the air, missing its target.

They chased after the disappearing figure, looked at each other and Hongyue slowly lowered her weapon.

“How was my acting?”

Song Yuantian praised, “There’s not a trace of acting, it’s completely genuine.”

Sun Ning stared at the figure disappearing into the distance. “The rest is up to you, God Xin.”

…

The trees in front of Little Overlord’s eyes quickly flew back as he was carried. He raised his head slightly and saw a handsome young man putting in all his effort to run ahead.

Sweat dripped from the young man’s forehead, and his white shirt was stained with dirt and blood.

Though disheveled, the young man’s eyes remained resolute.

Little Overlord grabbed onto God Xin’s arm, wanting to ask something, but he felt something sticky where his palm touched.

He was stunned for a moment, then lifted his hand and found his palm covered in red.

‘Injured?’

‘You can obviously escape by yourself, but you have to take me with you?’

‘Just because I know how to deal with Adam?’

Little Overlord’s eyes gradually became bewildered. Until Bai Lixin brought him to a safe place and set him down, he still hadn’t come to his senses.

Bai Lixin took out a healing card from his backpack after putting Little Overlord down.

Looking at Bai Lixin busy figure, Little Overlord grabbed his arm. “Don’t waste your effort. The healing card won’t work for me. I’ve been poisoned by Lin Jue’s ‘Venom Fang.’ I’ll die in eight hours, unless I return to the horror game lobby.”

Bai Lixin: “Then return to the horror game lobby within eight hours. We’re approaching the place where Dr. Serkhi is creating Adam. Hold on a little longer, you won’t die.”

Little Overlord tilted his head and struggled to keep his eyes open. “Bai Lixin, why did you save me? We’re enemies.”

Bai Lixin: “I never considered us enemies. Think about it, isn’t the source of our conflict the tokens? You went to great lengths to get your tokens, but I easily won them from you. If it were me, I’d be unhappy too? Besides that, do we have any other conflicts?”

Little Overlord blinked, and felt that what Bai Lixin said seemed to make sense.

Indeed, there wasn’t much deep-seated hatred between them.

Back then, when Bai Lixin cunningly won all the tokens from him, didn’t it just show that Bai Lixin was selfish and opportunistic?

In the end, they were both of the same kind of person.

If he could ally with Song Yuantian and the others for his own benefit, then he could also betray them for his own benefit.

Moreover, Bai Lixin had saved him in such a critical moment.

After the life and death situation, Little Overlord finally saw it clearly.

There were no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

Now that Bai Lixin had betrayed the Sand Sea Guild for him, he had no way back.

Actually, upon careful consideration, setting aside their previous conflicts, he quite admired Bai Lixin as a person.

Courageous, resourceful, and decisive in battle.

Father said, it was these kinds of people that it needed the most.

It would be a pity for him to die here.

“Now that you’ve betrayed the Sand Sea Guild, if you have the chance to leave here, would you like to ally with the Shentian Guild?”

The young man shook his head. “I don’t really want to.”

Little Overlord: “Why?”

Bai Lixin: “I killed their people to save myself. They won’t let me off easily. If I ally with the Shentian Guild, I’ll just become a target.”

Little Overlord: “No, as long as I’m here, the Shentian Guild is nothing. I’ll make them dare not touch you. They won’t even dare to touch a hair on your head.”

“Let’s talk about it later.” Bai Lixin helped Little Overlord up. “Let’s deal with the current situation first.”

“Dr. Serkhi has set up a base underground in this park. We can sneak in. I’ll take you to find Adam.”

“But do you really know how to stop Adam’s birth? Are you not lying to me?” Bai Lixin scrutinized Little Overlord.

Little Overlord: “How could I possibly be lying to you?”

Bai Lixin: “Why not? Haven’t you lied to people before? Just tell me, and I’ll analyze whether it’s reasonable or not.”

Little Overlord hesitated for two seconds, torn between telling Bai Lixin the method or going back to find his lackeys.

But after a moment’s thought, he quickly dismissed the latter option.

Leaving aside the fact that there was only one day left until Adam’s birth, even if there were more days, he wouldn’t have the time. Those wastes could wait, but the poison in his body couldn’t.

Moreover, judging by Bai Lixin’s demeanor, if he didn’t tell him the method, Bai Lixin wouldn’t bring him in.

After some internal struggle, he reached his hand into the air, and a black mosaic appeared in his palm out of nowhere.

“This is an AI virus. By implanting this virus, we can eliminate Adam from the inside.”

Thick bangs hang down, blocking Bai Lixin’s eyes.

Little Overlord continued, “I’m the only one who possesses this virus in the entire copy. So, only I can stop Adam’s birth once I reach where Adam is.”

Bai Lixin stood up. “Let’s go. I’ll take you to find Adam.”

At that moment, a large truck was slowly approaching. Bai Lixin grabbed Little Overlord’s collar and leaped onto the roof of the cargo compartment.

The truck entered an abandoned garage. Little Overlord heard the sound of the transmission clicking, and the cargo compartment, along with the garage, slowly descended with a “clank.”

This was already the second time he was infiltrating, so Bai Lixin was familiar with the process. Even though he was dragging along an injured Little Overlord, Bai Lixin smoothly led him into the base.

He had seen Adam’s location in the second-level of the virtual world before. At that time, the base was heavily damaged, and many places were unrecognizable.

With the help of S419M, who provided a comparison chart, they managed to locate Adam.

Having returned to this place, Bai Lixin couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

Not long ago, they had come for Li Cangshan, who had already been transformed into a robot.

Just a few days ago, Li Cangshan was still alive and well in front of him.

But in just a few days, everyone had forgotten his appearance, his name, and even him as a person.

After their last visit, S419M obtained a panoramic view of the underground base. With its help, he easily avoided all surveillance and got closer to where Adam was.

Along the way, the security was not tight, and they arrived at Adam’s processing hall without much difficulty.

The white painted door exuded a sense of technology and futurism. As the door opened, rows of robotic soldiers appeared in the room.

They all faced the door, as if they had already anticipated someone’s arrival and were waiting to capture them.

Standing among these robots was a man with gray hair. His face was frosty, his hands were behind his back, and his emotionless eyes stared outside. “I’ve been waiting for you.”

Little Overlord subconsciously looked at Bai Lixin beside him, only to realize that Bai Lixin had disappeared long ago. The surroundings were empty, with only his own figure.

Serkhi: “You’re still looking around? I’m talking about you!”

Little Overlord: “?”

‘Damn it…’

Serkhi raised his hand. “Catch him!”

Little Overlord ran away. He was already seriously injured, and his chest hurt when he ran. He coughed up blood as he ran and cursed, “Bai Lixin, I’ll definitely kill you!!!”

Serkhi: “You still have the strength to shout? Don’t let him escape!”

Little Overlord: “…”

‘Fuck!’

A vast number of robots poured out, and in an instant, only Serkhi and the two robot guards beside him were left in the vast space.
