Chapter 879: Su of Suzhou, Yang of the Sun!
Liu Pangzi immediately caught the implied meaning.
Its expression visibly brightened with excitement, "You mean… we can use the Anchor Point to go back to the original era?"
Su Yang picked up a carbonated beverage, took a sip, savoring the delightful dance of sweet water on his palate, and couldn't help but close his eyes in comfort.
After a while, it said, "Why not?"
Liu Pangzi's pupils flickered, and his body kept trembling.
The chopsticks in his hand slipped, Clack! and fell to the ground.
It looked down, its eyes filled with sheer elation.
Just as it was about to speak, it suddenly thought of the many difficulties and loopholes here.
The mood that had just risen sank again.
Su Yang caught the subtle shift in Liu Pangzi's gaze and asked, "Speak up if you have something to say, let out any gas, don't hide it."
Liu Pangzi inhaled deeply, "Brother Yang, I'm not raining cold water on you, we're Zombies, how can we escape this cage?"
"Although the Anchor Point exists, we are not Players after all."
"We lack the Divine‑granted Seal Mark; even if we could truly teleport, we might encounter unimaginable horrors."
"At the light end, we'd be reduced to powder and bone; at the heavy end, we'd face an irrecoverable ten‑thousand‑calamity!"
Su Yang, unhurried, took a paper to wipe his Mouth, "You think I haven't considered similar issues?"
Liu Pangzi let out a bitter laugh, "To put it bluntly, merely being alive is already a rare blessing amid misfortune."
Su Yang disagreed, saying, "Self‑deprecation is not a good trait; since I can grant you Resurrection, I can create other miracles."
Liu Pangzi made no rebuttal to the words, yet his heart was filled with doubt.
Obviously, the handsome man before him had Copy‑ed every aspect of Su Yang.
But the two are ultimately not the same kind of person.
In essence, there is a huge difference.
Although Su Yang displayed incredible Innate Talent before it, his arm still couldn't twist around his thigh.
No matter how strong, can one be stronger than the Divine in the heavens?
No matter how capable, won't one still be locked up and raised like livestock?
Moreover, Su Yang is still not a Player.
If we step onto that land, we will inevitably be erased by the rules.
Zombies have no reason or possibility to escape this place.
Thus, although Liu Pangzi harbors hope, he also knows his own limits.
Originally, Su Yang gave him a Draw a Cake, and Liu Pangzi only thought of escaping the Building Body, finding a plot on Titan Planet to live.
The two together are far better than being alone.
But never did they expect it to have such great ambition.
"Is it that you don't want to, or that you're afraid?" Su Yang slightly lifted his eyelids.
"Of course I want to, I just don't want to chase these unrealistic dreams." Liu Pangzi scratched his head.
"If I had a way to let you live a normal life, to turn you into a normal person, would you be willing?"
A voice, like a Demon's whisper, echoed beside his ear.
Liu Pangzi subconsciously thought it a joke and wanted Su Yang to stop.
But when he looked up, he saw its serious, deep eyes.
In that moment, Liu Pangzi was stunned.
"You have an Anchor Point, and also teleportation."
"And I possess the Innate Talent to create everything, as long as you want, as long as you dare…"
"Then the two of us will stake everything on one try!" Su Yang said.
Bet?
Liu Pangzi hesitated.
Indeed, before absolute rules, even the strongest Innate Talent is futile.
"Why a prison? Can't we just find a populated Planet to live on?" Liu Pangzi asked, puzzled.
"Do you have Anchor Points on other Planets?" Su Yang retorted.
"Well… no." Liu Pangzi sounded like a deflated rubber ball.
In fact, there are many Anchor Points, but the vast majority reside on Players.
Those are the Dependents of Yue Zhao from before.
Now that Yue Zhao is dead, the Anchor Points naturally vanished.
Yet that Continent still retains a single Anchor Point.
It's the only one!
At present, Su Yang throws out a temptation, and honestly Liu Pangzi is very moved.
Does it not also wish its life to continue?
Does it not also want to preserve this consciousness and thought?
Having tasted death, it now wants to seize every chance of survival.
But Desire is infinite.
Beyond merely staying alive, it also wants more.
"We can only go to a world ruled by the Divine, but that's fine; with our abilities, we can still shine brightly there." Su Yang tempted.
"But… we lack the Divine‑granted Seal Mark; what does that even mean there?"
"Also, every player must play the Death Game; if we are left behind after the next game starts, we will inevitably be noticed!" Liu Pangzi voiced his worry.
Su Yang smiled slightly, "I've already considered the issues you mentioned."
"First, the Seven-Day Deadline still has a few days left; strictly speaking, it's not yet the Buffer Period."
"Second, your era has the Midway Join rule; since they can get in, why can't we?"
"As for the Death Game…"
"Have you ever heard of Binding?"
Liu Pangzi thought carefully, then shook his head.
Su Yang patiently explained, "Binding, as the name suggests, means that all damage the selected target endures is shared with the player who is bound."
"If he lives, you live; if he dies, you die too!"
"At the same time, Binding can bring others to participate in the same Death Game."
"In that case, when we get there we can play the game just like the masses."
Liu Pangzi fell into contemplation.
"It does sound like a decent method."
"As Su Yang said, this is a High Stakes Gamble."
"No one can guarantee that after we go there we won't be executed immediately."
"Moreover, no one knows whether Midway Join is a Two‑way Passage."
"But as long as we land smoothly, with Binding we might rest easy."
"At least we can survive the Buffer Period."
"So then… what status are we?" Liu Pangzi asked.
"Free Person." Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Do you already have a candidate for Binding in mind?"
Hearing that, a face automatically surfaced in Su Yang's mind.
It nodded slightly, "You also know this person."
"Who?" Liu Pangzi leaned forward slightly.
"When the time comes, you'll know; who is bound is never the point, the point is whether you are willing to go with me?" Su Yang stared at it.
Liu Pangzi did not answer immediately, his heart constantly struggling.
It knew that the reason Su Yang let it resurrect and offered an Olive Branch
was entirely because it knew the Anchor Point's location.
Without that capability, it would inevitably be abandoned.
Strictly speaking, Su Yang and Su Yang are essentially the same.
Therefore, it worries whether a situation like using people forward but not backward might arise.
Su Yang, seeing Liu Pangzi's fluctuating expression, said calmly, "I know what you're worried about—nothing but a trust issue."
"You don't need to worry about that at all; the prison forbids internal killing, even if you and I aren't proper players."
"The chance comes only once; see how you grasp it."
Liu Pangzi furrowed his brows, deliberated for a long time, then made up his mind.
It slapped the table, "I'm in!"
Su Yang smiled knowingly, nodded approvingly, "Very good, this will be the most correct decision you've ever made in this life."
Without waiting for Liu Pangzi to ask for details,
Su Yang stood up and said, "Until then, I can no longer bear the Zombie title."
"From now on, you are neither called Liu Pangzi nor Liu Zhangbo."
Liu Pangzi asked, "Then what should I be called?"
Su Yang's eyes flickered, "Liu Zhangfeng!"
Liu… Chang… Feng?
"Sounds good."
Liu Zhangfeng seemed to accept the new name, "And you?"
"Me…"
Su Yang stared at the constantly bubbling broth, a corner of his mouth lifting, "I am Su Yang!"
"Su of Suzhou…"
"The Yang of the Sun!"
