Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1179 - 124: Small World

Is this reliable?

Gu Yue Ming’s lips moved slightly, saying the same two words.

Xu Shu saw this stance, and immediately understood the situation in his heart.

It seems there’s no problem, safety is guaranteed!

His face instantly filled with a smile, and he extended his hand to Yan Huoxing: "Brother Yan, since that’s the case, it’s better to... "

Just as he finished saying "better," Yan Huoxing was also happily reaching out to shake hands with Xu Shu.

However, at this moment, Xu Shu finally heard the complete content of what Gu Yue Ming said.

What she said was: "No way."

"???" Xu Shu looked at his aunt in shock with wide eyes.

When asked if it’s reliable, why not just say reliable or unreliable? The difference between two and three words is so obvious, isn’t it? Why say "no way"?

And you even said it, but what kind of ridiculous two-second delay is that?

Are you deliberately teasing me?

Xu Shu couldn’t help but complain inwardly, immediately labeling his aunt with the same unreliable label as some robotic little girl.

Honestly, he had a good impression of his aunt all along!

At the same time, he promptly withdrew the hand he stretched out, indicating refusal to cooperate.

Joking is one thing, but this kind of matter can’t be taken lightly. Since it’s not possible, then it’s not possible.

Yan Huoxing originally saw Xu Shu coming to shake hands, knowing that cooperation was established, and was in a great mood, only to enthusiastically grasp at air, leaving him stunned.

After being controlled on the spot for a moment, Yan Huoxing looked at Xu Shu, then at himself, and asked cluelessly: "Uh, brother? What’s your intention?"

Xu Shu then seriously changed his tune: "... It’s better to think again, this matter requires long-term planning."

"..." What’s the meaning of "better think again"!

Yan Huoxing’s smile disappeared for a moment, then climbed back onto his face: "Hahaha! Oh right, you’re correct, it indeed requires consideration. How do you intend to consider it?"

"Mm." Xu Shu nodded, "Please, Brother Yan, wait here for a moment, we’ll be right back, and tell you then."

"No problem, waiting for you, brother!" Yan Huoxing waved his hand, blooming both on his face and in his heart.

It’s just that the bloom on his face was a smile, while in his heart, he was cursing, obvious to any discerning eye.

Xu Shu wasn’t blind, but he didn’t feel any awkwardness, pulling Gu Yue Ming back to the corridor in the hospital.

After almost completely leaving the sight of the "Inextinguishable Grasp," Xu Shu ignited the red talisman paper given by Xie Xiaochan, sending a signal to gather teammates.

This is a "Tracking and Tracing Talisman," which can contact others who have the same talisman within a certain range. The other party can locate it through their own talisman.

Gotta say, these practitioners have quite the skills, creating many odd and peculiar things.

With this function, it’s practically like being gods, comparable to sending a "location information" with a phone in the information age before the Great Catastrophe, incredibly convenient.

Of course, it’s nothing compared to Lie Zhenzi’s direct [share teammate location], but unfortunately, the upgrade drive can’t be opened in the ruins.

While waiting for the teammates to arrive, Xu Shu couldn’t help but ask: "Aunt, why did you just first move your lips to say two words, and then make a sound?"

Gu Yue Ming said earnestly: "Little Xu, don’t you know? The speed of light is 880,000 times faster than the speed of sound! So on rainy days, often you see lightning first and then hear thunder."

Xu Shu: ???

You’re ridiculous!

We were just less than 0.5 meters apart, what does that have to do with lightning and thunder?

Do you believe I’ll blow you up with two big thunders? Damn!

Being straightforward, he first cursed his aunt harshly—in his heart.

Seeing Xu Shu’s displeasure, Gu Yue Ming said sheepishly: "Alright, I’ll tell the truth. Actually, I was originally going to say reliable, because the contract was proof, but then I thought it over and realized it wasn’t right, so I hurriedly changed my words."

"That’s more like it." Xu Shu rolled his eyes, asking her why.

Gu Yue Ming then pursed her lips, pondered her words, and said: "In such a dangerous place, casualties are only normal, and once you lose certain teammates with special functions, exploration obviously cannot continue, such as losing ’Rogue,’ ’Boatman,’ ’Orphan,’ ’Preacher,’ etc.

"Therefore, the term Residual Team Alliance is not uncommon in large relics, and this saying has existed for more than ten years.

"After forming an alliance, both parties can use a contract as proof, and form a blood alliance as a guarantee of cooperation."

Xu Shu listened and nodded, feeling that it seemed procedure-wise there was no problem.

"So why do you think it’s not possible?" He asked.

Gu Yue Ming said: "Because the contract’s restrictive power is not strong. Think about it, why can the Heart Fire Incense Burner reassure people? Because it not only ensures we are not rejected by the ruins, but also ensures that all people burning incense in the same burner can’t harm each other.

"But the contract can’t achieve that. Essentially, the contract is a trigger-type curse witchcraft, only punishing the violator if one side breaches the agreement and tries to kill and seize treasure.

"Such punishment does have a certain level of deterrence, but it can be resisted and purified, merely limiting the violator’s strength, causing serious injury, but rarely directly killing.

"If both sides have similar strength, this contract might hold significant deterrence, due to the high risk of breaching the contract; but as you’ve seen, the opposing team was once top of the Qingyun List, their teammates’ strength is absolutely incomparable to ours in this group.
