Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 72: 63: Clubs



"It's probably a walkie-talkie. It's because of our lack of education, sigh."

The man called Brother Chao, Lin Chao, sighed at this moment as well.

"Education? What does that have to do with anything?"

Another man who looked somewhat mixed-race didn't seem to care much. Most Outsiders were illiterate or semi-literate, and few could fully recognize characters. He didn't think wasting time on this would increase their survival rate.

"The Chief once said that the purpose of reading is to broaden your horizons and expand your vision. If we were really familiar with the functions of our own walkie-talkies, then even if this one looks different, we'd know how to use it."

Lin Chao spoke in a calm tone.

The comment made a girl standing nearby, who looked somewhat like Lin Chao and had the delicate features of a beauty, wrinkle her nose and snort lightly.

"All day it's the Chief this, the Chief that, enough already..."

"It should be like this."

Before the girl could finish, Lin Chao had already figured out how to use the walkie-talkie and then stepped under the eaves to take a deep breath looking across.

With the passage of a few points of Yuan Force, he could almost finish the translation at this distance.

This was the high cost-effective special ability bestowed upon them by the will of the world as they walked among the heavens.

As long as the language of the other party was the same, selecting just one person would suffice to successfully complete the translation.

"Hello, our visit this time is for negotiation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tommy, who was already growing impatient, directly asked,

"I want to know right now, was it your people who came back and killed ours two days ago?"

Hearing Tommy's blunt question, those who had initiated the translation were also taken aback.

But they quickly realized that something must have happened and Lin Chao hurriedly explained,

"Although we are not aware of what happened on your side, I believe there's some misunderstanding. Our visit not only aims to negotiate but also involves exchanging some extremely useful information for you."

Tommy had decided to come here, also with his own considerations in mind. They had been on full alert for the past few days, and nothing had happened.

If they had the ability to kill silently as they did last time, there would indeed be no need to capture someone from his side and release them to send a message.

Actually, sincerity was already somewhat apparent.

"You need to convince me. Explain the causes and consequences clearly, and also tell us what you really want to do. Your people have already escaped."

Tommy's words caused Lin Chao to breathe a sigh of relief, and he then began to slowly explain the Abyss and the current situation.

There was no doubt that these unbelievable words caused a tremendous shock to Tommy and his group.

Inconceivable!

Yet, while they were inconceivable, they also made logical sense!

Indeed, it was precisely because they were so inconceivable, coupled with the corroborating appearance of the highland and Rainforest, not to mention the bizarre disappearance of the three individuals, that everything could form a closed loop, making it quite credible!

Sincerity is the greatest Assassin's skill!

After Lin Chao earnestly explained everything in a calm tone, it left Tommy and the others in silence.

"We need to discuss this."

While processing the shocking news, Tommy had also been informed through another walkie-talkie that the boss was starting to come back. However, this walkie-talkie's range was insufficient, and they couldn't directly contact Jack right now.

So he planned to return and use the extended range version at the gathering place to ask for opinions.

"Sure, please do as you see fit."

Lin Chao had no objections.

"Brother Chao, you're too easy-going. Why do you have to tell these natives so much?"

At this point, Zhang Wei again spoke up next to him, somewhat sycophantically and indignantly. Clinging to the powerful as a means of survival was something he learned from a young age.

"The Chief always said, only sincerity can win hearts. We're not doing anything shady, so it's better to speak openly about it."

"Actually, those three have a month to stay in the present world. We could have picked them up at a convenient time and saved them easily, Brother Chao. You have a Grade B rare combat talent that can be on par with an A+ or even Level S ordinary combat talent."

Zhang Wei said this with envy in his heart.

Although the three unlucky individuals had reappeared at the same spot, the ropes that had bound them had been untied when they returned.

After setting a specific time, and drawing some attention on their side, they would be able to retreat successfully after accomplishing their mission.

Even taking an extreme approach, given the combination of the four of them, it wasn't impossible to try to break through directly!

"The president has said that the indigenous people in these world fragments are also flesh and blood, survivors of the world fragments torn apart by the Abyss."

Lin Chao's words were full of 'the president has said,' and his expression remained calm, without showing any complacency for the praises Zhang Wei gave about his talents.

"Brother, we all know you're a die-hard fan of the president, can't you stop mentioning that every time? Plus, that makes you easy to exploit,"

As Lin Chao's twin sister, Lin Xue also felt somewhat exasperated at that moment. Her brother was good at everything but too rigid and by-the-book.

"Yeah, those three guys obviously didn't have money to post missions and were also worried about their safety; that's why they chose to join the society on a whim; their motives are impure."

The mixed-race Tom also spoke up, as if he had some opinions about those few who came seeking help.

As someone from the bottom of the Outsider, Tom had seen plenty of the dark side of things. He liked the Chaoyang Society and the atmosphere within it very much.

However, it was undeniable that even when he joined the Chaoyang Society, he did have the intention of seeking refuge. From his perspective, the president's romantic idealism was impracticable in the Outsider.

"It's okay for them to seek help by joining the society. Helping each other in the Abyss to get through difficulties together is indeed our purpose.

"By being upfront with the natives and sharing so much, I actually want to understand what those three have specifically done. By combining perspectives and statements from both sides, we can better discern a relatively objective truth, can't we?"

Lin Chao's words were naive and sincere, yet they seemed unassailable.

This made Zhang Wei and Tom both fall silent.

No matter whether the two of them could achieve that, but at least having such a teammate, also a strong one, was indeed a fortunate thing.

As people from the bottom of the Outsider, even if they were lucky enough to awaken fighting talents, they still needed to huddle together for warmth.

How could one person survive in such a hellish environment like the Abyss?

Zhang Wei awkwardly thought again of Tao Yu, who had rejected him; a Grade A ordinary fighting talent, not much worse than Super, ah. When Wino, an Inner City person, had an opinion about Tao Yu, he had made it too obvious.

"I knew those two from the Inner City, one dead and the other injured, I should have insisted a bit."

Zhang Wei felt a bit of regret in his heart.

As dusk approached, the four of them took turns arranging the night watch order, ready to make do and spend the night on this rooftop.

The street below was full of zombies; the rooftop here was quite safe.

However, as midnight neared and it was time to change the night watch, the faint roar of an engine made Lin Chao frown. As the sound drew nearer, he quietly woke the others,

"Get up, everyone. Someone's approaching by car. Traveling at night in this environment is unusual."

Even if one was on night watch duty in the Abyss, sleep would be light; the other three grabbed their weapons and responded immediately.

Once up, they too heard the approaching noise, along with the sounds of the awakened zombies moving on the street.

"Let's take a look."

Lin Chao took the lead; they crept to the edge of the roof, secretly peering towards the source of the sound.

They could see a total of four headlights, both in front of the car and on the roof; it must be a sizable vehicle, with lights that were obviously modified to be quite bright.

Dark figures flitted before the lights, the zombies attracted by the sound were struck aside or even run over; it was evident that the vehicle was powerfully driven.

The car weaved aggressively through the streets, "Snake Skin" maneuvering, avoiding some obstacles formed by abandoned vehicles while also choosing paths with fewer zombies.

Occasionally sending a few flying.

When the car reached this T-junction, it executed a drift at the intersection, knocking down several zombies with the rear of the vehicle during the process. After that, the vehicle obviously slowed down, seemingly leading the zombies slowly in another direction.

"Are they luring the zombies away?"

"What on earth are they doing..."

The people on the roof were a bit puzzled.

Watching the vehicle slowly take a number of zombies away, while continuing to throw firecrackers outside, creating an incessant popping noise and a lot of sound.

But soon, the group roughly understood why. After making a round, the car came back from another narrow street.

A person got out of the car, wielding a shovel and effortlessly knocking down a few nearby zombies, then opened a garage and drove the car in.

"It could be someone from this settlement or temporary external support they called in, but it doesn't matter; we haven't deceived them. If an enemy comes, we will block; if water comes, we cover with earth..."

Lin Chao, watching the garage door being pulled down again, still appeared very calm.
