Bai Ye nodded. "Then it's settled. Contact me if you get any news."
Bai Ye rose again and pushed the door open to leave.
Although he had agreed to Jin Sha's request to kill Liu Shi Yue, the name Liu Shi Yue felt very unfamiliar to Bai Ye.
As the vice president of the Cang Long Hui, Bai Ye should certainly know of him.
However, in Bai Ye's memories from his previous life, there were three vice presidents of the Cang Long Hui: Lin Lin Dong, Xia Cheng, and Lestervis Levi.
This meant that Bai Ye had no recollection of anyone named Liu Shi Yue, and he knew nothing about this name.
Still, it wasn't entirely unexpected.
The Cang Long Hui had undergone several transformations as it developed, evolving from relying solely on its own world to recruiting members.
Survival of the fittest meant that many positions would change hands.
Take the three names in Bai Ye's memory: Lin Lin Dong, Xia Cheng, and Lestervis were not from the world of supernatural abilities. Before joining the Cang Long Hui, they were all considered experts in their own right.
Among them, Xia Cheng and Bai Ye had a bit of a history.
This was a genuine connection.
After Bai Ye became one of the "Two Whites" of the Eastern District, many people wanted to align themselves with him. After all, following a strong individual was a way of survival.
Xia Cheng was one of them. He had once charged into battle for Bai Ye and had also received Bai Ye's protection.
As for how he ended up in the Cang Long Hui later, it was quite ordinary – because the Cang Long Hui offered too much.
At the time, Bai Ye didn't blame Xia Cheng. Xia Cheng's trump cards then were the super-quality supreme martial arts, the Six-Meridian Divine Sword and the Spirit Rhino Finger.
The Cang Long Hui enticed Xia Cheng with the final incomplete scroll of the Six-Meridian Divine Sword and the final incomplete scroll of the Spirit Rhino Finger.
It was only natural that Xia Cheng couldn't refuse. Who would pass up the opportunity to transform from a first-class expert into an ultimate master?
Bai Ye shook his head and then came back to his senses.
The topic had strayed too far; he needed to focus on the present.
In short, Bai Ye had no impression of the person named Liu Shi Yue. Since that was the case, he would have to borrow the influence of the Evil Spirit Gang.
Thinking this, Bai Ye left the restaurant.
"Now, it's time to travel!"
Bai Ye stretched and then left the ancient town.
The Eastern District, as the name suggested, was the easternmost part of the World Battlefield.
Bai Ye had been to that spider mountain in his previous life, so he knew it was located in the eastern region.
Therefore, he just needed to continue moving in that direction.
However, it was impossible to reach the futuristic technology zone so quickly.
In the later stages of the World Battlefield, the Eastern District encompassed all areas along the eastern border.
The emphasis was on the word "border," so one had to traverse through quite a few areas.
But Bai Ye was not in a hurry. He had time. Bai Ye knew very well that he had passed the "searching" phase.
That is to say, Bai Ye no longer needed to specifically seek out things to improve his strength in a short period.
The Thunder Fruit, Iron Slime, and Five Spirit Incantations were all very valuable. Therefore, Bai Ye only needed to steadily improve these three aspects, and his strength would naturally increase.
Of course, he still needed to visit forbidden zones when appropriate, take what good things were available, and also strive to collect fragments of the God Stone.
However, Bai Ye believed that his current strength had gradually formed a system. Before completing the existing system, he didn't need to deliberately seek out new ones.
But if there were any, Bai Ye wouldn't refuse.
...
Five days after leaving the ancient town, Bai Ye finally saw a massive regional boundary.
After passing through it, a cluster of tall buildings appeared before Bai Ye.
"A modern world zone?"
Bai Ye looked around. Judging by the buildings, it was a modern civilization area.
But it was difficult to say what specific kind of area it was.
There were many zones under modern civilization, such as supernatural ability zones and paranormal zones, which could all be modern civilization environments.
Even in some futuristic technology zones, although energy weapons were used, other aspects of development were not very advanced, and it was normal for the living environment to still resemble modern civilization.
"Regardless..." Bai Ye looked up at the night sky and said, "I'll find a place to stay first."
Thinking this, Bai Ye walked forward along the pedestrian crossing.
It was already very late at night.
Occasionally, he could still see some cars on the street, but there were no pedestrians on the pedestrian crossing at all.
After walking for a while, Bai Ye stopped in front of an ATM. After looking around, he snapped his fingers.
Sparks suddenly erupted from the nearby surveillance camera. Then, Bai Ye glanced at the ATM, and another arc of electricity appeared. The ATM began to dispense money.
Bai Ye casually collected the money.
Although he didn't know how large this area was, he would definitely need money to stay here tonight.
Just as Bai Ye took the money and was about to leave, a rustling sound came from a nearby alley.
Bai Ye paused for a moment and then looked into the alley.
Deep within the alley, a figure was crouching on the ground, doing something.
But...
There was the smell of blood!
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes and walked into the alley.
As he entered the depths of the alley, Bai Ye discovered that the person crouching on the ground was a man in a suit, and in front of the suited man lay a woman.
The woman's abdomen had been cut open, her internal organs mixed with blood, scattered all over the ground.
At this very moment...
The man suddenly turned his head to look at Bai Ye.
Under the dim starlight of the night, the man's face was extremely ferocious, because half of his face was covered in blood.
Even a palm-sized piece of flesh was dangling from the man's mouth as he continuously chewed!
Bai Ye's expression changed drastically, and he felt a wave of nausea.
Cannibalism!
That man was eating people!
"Food..." The moment the man saw Bai Ye, his eyes lit up with a strange light, as if he had suddenly become excited. He looked at Bai Ye and muttered, "Food, I'm hungry!"
Suddenly, amidst his muttering, the man charged at Bai Ye, opening his gaping maw.
Bai Ye frowned. Was this place a paranormal zone?
Or something like a doomsday zone?
Was the other party something like a zombie?
But zombies shouldn't be able to speak, right?
While thinking, Bai Ye looked at the suited man charging at him and forcefully raised his leg, kicking him in the chest.
*Bang!*
Bai Ye didn't use too much force; he just wanted to kick the man away.
As a result, this kick to the chest sent the man flying back, slamming heavily against the wall behind him. His expression contorted in pain.
Bai Ye tilted his head...
This guy is so weak!
