Chapter 546 - 400: We Have No Future (Extra for Alliance Leader Bai Shi Yu!)

In the dark, deep Underground Ruins.

Countless shadows moved, a pressing crowd of heads, squeezed forward continuously.

In the spacious corridor, footsteps were dense, everyone, under the leader’s guide, gradually passed through here, heading towards a larger, more spacious room.

The leader kept shouting, chanting slogans, urging the older people in the back not to stop, to keep moving forward.

For those who couldn’t keep up, they would be kicked down by the leaders, then picked up again, pushed to catch up with the troops.

This time, it’s full force mobilization!

No considerations for gender, regardless of age; as long as there is fighting strength, even if they can only pick up an Iron Spear or a long bow, they must keep up with the main force!

The purpose, naturally, is to fight, no doubt about it.

Not only these nearly a thousand people, but also more troops in other Underground Ruins are gathering.

These humans known as "beggars," following another update of the system, can no longer hide among the Survivors, surviving by exchanging various resources for food and water.

Without any Refugee Village tags and suffix badges, they find themselves stuck in transactions and dialogues with Survivors.

Survivors distrust them.

In fact, the vast majority of Survivors resent, even hate them.

The reason? Probably because now they have separated from ordinary Survivors, choosing a much easier path.

They are also ordinary people, but unlike most who strive to survive through their own efforts.

Either due to old age, loss of labor ability.

Or simply laziness, just wanting to lie flat.

For whatever reason, they are not thinking about survival, but about sneaking by.

Always thinking about how to live easier, instead of using the system to strive for survival.

The seven-day disasters constantly showed them people dying around them for various reasons, making them increasingly psychologically fragile, while their panic grew.

Will the next one to die be me?

Hunger, thirst, vicious mutated creatures everywhere outside, and the increasingly terrifying and dangerous disaster every seven days...

Each reason could become the last straw to break them.

Some started to seek other ways out, some became helpless.

Some fell down amidst such hardship.

Nonetheless, a turning point appeared at this time.

Before the third disaster, the repeatedly blocked method by the system on the world channel—everyone knew it was the way to avoid the disaster using Underground Ruins—stimulated their minds, helping them find their own survival path.

Stepping into the Underground Ruins, they gradually found others like themselves, weak, timid, lazy, and afraid of death, in numbers beyond their expectations.

After spending the night of the disaster safely within the Underground Ruins, they decided they would never return to the surface, always making this underground space their new Shelter!

However, before they could adapt to life inside the Underground Ruins, everyone received information claiming to be from an "Executor" linked to someone.

From that moment, those who stayed completely abandoned everything of a "Survivor", fully embracing this new identity of "Survival."

Meanwhile, they had "partners" living together in the Underground Ruins—the Lizardman!

These creatures they once feared suddenly put down their weapons at this moment, even allowing them to settle into the Underground Ruins, with no conflict between them.

Though language differed, the Lizardmen no longer fought with them and wouldn’t attack them.

Moreover, they were amazed to discover the Lizardmen suddenly evolved from using stone tools of primitive civilization to advanced civilization with iron tools and gunpowder!

Between them and the Lizardmen, there was no strict hierarchy, no relationship of domination and subjugation; although some usually call the Lizardmen "Celestial Dragon People Sir," those are just petty people trying to gain more benefits from the Lizardmen.

If anyone dominated, they thought only the mysterious person commanding the Executors counted as their leader.

In daily life, they only needed to act together with the Lizardmen, with no forced relationship between them.

As for that mysterious leader, the price they paid was merely to aid the Lizardmen in collecting food and mining resources.

If any Survivalist wanted to go back, the Executors said they absolutely wouldn’t stop it, but who among those accustomed to this leisurely life as Survivalists would want to be troublesome, struggling Survivors again?

Compared to fighting terrifying disasters, facing terrifying mutated creatures, this lifestyle was simply too comfortable.

Yet not long into this life, they were labeled "beggars" by the strongest Survivor Lin Yue, who had always ranked first on the world leaderboard!

This group was extremely repulsive to the term "beggars," but after several fierce attacks from the Lizardmen and Survivalists against Lin Yue himself and his Shelter ended nearly wiped out, they could only wait for orders from above.

After the last extreme heat disaster, although their numbers slightly reduced, overall, the losses weren’t too great.

Lying low for two days, returning to the various Underground Ruins, they gradually began recuperating, restarting their original lives.

As for dealing with Lin Yue, they always waited for the opportunity from the orders transmitted by the Executors above!

And this time, the opportunity arose.

The Executors issued mobilization to them in various Underground Ruins, instructing them to gather and set out from various places, with all combatants moving to the specified location to assemble!

There, a powerful commander of the human troops, along with over seventy thousand Lizardmen, awaited them!

Ultimately joining up with the strong forces, they would surround Lin Yue’s Shelter with overwhelming numerical advantage, finally conducting a full assault on Lin Yue’s Shelter!

Everyone knew what this represented.

Lin Yue, the strongest Survivor in the world, possessed unimaginably vast quantities of resources, and reserves that anyone would covet.

Also having unmatched influence among Survivors!

His combat power could not be underestimated, but this colossal cake was highly tempting.

Moreover, just eliminating Lin Yue would free those Survivalists from fearing this dreadful Demon King!

The future of the Survivalists must take killing Lin Yue as premise to arrive!
