I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1024 - 538: Both Sides Reach a Consensus in Their Thinking

"Could it be that the Deceit Zone wants to seize power?" The thought suddenly popped into the Corpse King's mind.

The gray mist certainly wouldn't seize power; if it really wanted to act, there's no need to spy, it would directly attack me.

Only the Deceit Zone, which also has power, would use these means to suppress him. The ghosts' brains are certainly much better than the zombies under his command.

"If this is truly the case, then it's going to be difficult." The more the Corpse King pondered, the more probable it seemed.

"The defenses of the Deceit Zone are not something I can break, and they are all supernatural beings that don't need to eat; win or lose, they have the upper hand."

"While on my side, once a servant dies, we lose one, and replenishing forces depends on the platform."

Thinking this, the Corpse King felt frustrated. As the future ruler of the world, how could he rely on the platform's whims? Clearly, he should enjoy better treatment and life, but here he was in a city void of anything, ruling over a bunch of idiots without any benefits.

Some things shouldn't be thought about deeply; thinking too much throws the Corpse King's mindset off balance.

"No, I can't let things slide like this; I have to reclaim all my rightful power." The Corpse King's eyes narrowed as his mind raced with thoughts of how to remove the gray mist and Deceit Zone.

Hmm, aside from using my strength to defeat these two.

...

"Strange, just now the Corpse King was up, looking all fierce as if he was about to act, but then he sat back down like a deflated balloon," Shura remarked with curiosity.

He couldn't enter the Ghosts' Shelter, and investigating it wasn't easy. As for the gray mist, it's everywhere, not much significance there; instead, the Corpse King had a lot of secrets to dig up, so he stealthily returned.

Finally, seeing the usually idle Corpse King move a bit today, only to retreat.

"Did he notice something?" Shura instantly pondered.

The Tai Sui Gu keeps hunting zombies; he too occasionally spies on the Corpse King through some zombies. Saying the Corpse King is entirely unaware of this seems unlikely.

"So it's a plan to lure the snake out of its hole!" The thought of this gave Shura a chill. Not only is the Corpse King powerful, but he's also remarkably patient.

If it were him and he knew someone was targeting him, there's no way he could sit so calmly; he'd immediately investigate and eliminate the threat.

"Given the Corpse King's ability to remain calm, there's bound to be a big move next. I need to head back and inform the Grand Heaven Position and ***, prepare quickly; otherwise, when they act, and we're unprepared, the challenge failure would be probable."

Shura thought this and knew he couldn't continue monitoring the Corpse King.

To avoid the opposing side spreading fake intel through him, leading him into a trap.

Since the opponent knows someone is secretly observing, the real plan wouldn't be revealed, only insignificant or false intel will be given, indirectly mitigating the impact of the information leak.

"Only three days left, I wonder if that's enough." Shura felt uncertain.

Gu Shanhai's previous reversal array is complete, just not yet deployed, due to missing zombie data from the Grand Heaven Position.

It's been procrastinated all along.

Luckily, setting up the reversal array isn't hard. He saw Gu Shanhai's 'one-click' dummy package; the entire process takes only three minutes to transform an array node.

No need to worry about time, just focus on when the Grand Heaven Position can finish collecting the zombie samples Gu Shanhai needs.

"This will likely be dragged to the last day; *** is being too reckless this way."

Shura felt Gu Shanhai's idea is stable, but the approach was risky: if they act on the last day, it's easy to succeed.

But if they fail, there'd be no chance left.

"Well, this is probably the most prudent approach, even if it's still quite risky." Shura realized: failing means no next time; with only these three BOSS's strength, he and Grand Heaven Position are confident facing only the Corpse King. As for the gray mist, he thinks it's a 50-50 chance.

In such a situation, there's no guarantee of success; risk is a normal factor.

Gu Shanhai's approach minimizes loss; at least, if they fail they won't worry about dying once.

Thinking while heading back.

"Back so early today? Did you make a big find?" Grand Heaven Position asked seeing Shura return, the first one to speak.

Typically, at this time, Shura would be outside collecting various intel, unless it's major incidents, he'd only return at night, sometimes even the next morning with lots of data.

"A bit, here's how it is..." Shura briefly outlined the Corpse King's anomaly.

Grand Heaven Position pondered for a moment before asking, "Could it be overthinking? Maybe the Corpse King just felt numb sitting and got up for some exercise." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That's impossible, I've observed him for so many days, only today did this bizarre situation occur, indicating significant meaning." Shura said gravely.

"Really?" Grand Heaven Position was skeptical, thinking Shura might be overthinking.

"You can check via Tai Sui Gu, see if there's any zombie movement; if there is, it means even if not as I speculated, the Corpse King has other plans." Shura considered that he might be imagining things, thus using the Grand Heaven Position's Tai Sui Gu for further confirmation.

Regarding those zombies he controls, they're more for monitoring the Corpse King; authority to command zombies isn't his, it's all in the Corpse King's hands, he can't meddle in these affairs.

Controlling other zombies is a power of the Corpse King; other zombies won't listen to commands from any other than the Corpse King.

"Huh, indeed all zombies seem to move in the same direction, like being summoned." Grand Heaven Position's expression slightly changed.

"Could it be a gathering, the Corpse King discovered us?"

At this moment, it naturally crossed Grand Heaven Position's mind that they might be exposed.

Why else gather the zombies? Attack the gray mist or Ghosts' Shelter? What a joke, everyone knows these three BOSS are together, how could they do that?

Even for internal conflict, there has to be a cause.

The gray mist is gaseous and sleeping, Ghosts' Shelter stays closed off, there's no interaction.

How could there be internal strife or interest disputes? Saying it's not aimed at them, Grand Heaven Position wouldn't believe.

"Direction of movement?" Shura asked, his face darkening, knowing the seriousness.

"This direction!" Grand Heaven Position quickly pointed out the direction on the map.

"That's where the Corpse King is, there's definitely a big plan; we need to prevent or sabotage it swiftly." Shura recognized the direction immediately, he visits daily, how would he not know?

Gu Shanhai felt odd, like sensing an impending storm.

Yet Gu Shanhai stayed silent, with only three days left, some zombie activity was expected; doing nothing would really be suspicious.

They've invaded, yet the local defenses showed no reaction.

At least, the All Ghosts Survival Platform would notify the Corpse King; lately, zombies have been sent into the city daily to bolster Corpse King's forces.
