Chapter 2484: Do You Have the Guts to Try?

At this time, the dead soldiers and their families who knelt on the ground to wait for the Special Envoy did not know that the man in the black robe in front of them was no longer the Special Envoy they thought.

According to the regulations, on the day of distributing the antidote, all dead soldiers and their families must line up in this underground square of tens of thousands of square meters in advance to wait, and kneel to welcome the Special Envoy when they see him.

Ye Chen saw so many people kneeling on the ground, and for a time he was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

This underground world, which covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters and has a height of more than ten meters, combined with those huge support columns and the lighting on the top that is as bright as day, makes this space have a sense of magnificent ancient palace. Coupled with thousands of people kneeling in front of him, saying the same sentence in unison, the echo made the entire underground space tremble.

Ye Chen looked at these people and couldn't help frowning, and asked loudly, "Did they force you to kneel, or did you kneel voluntarily?"

One sentence made all the dead soldiers look horrified.

This was the first time they heard the Special Envoy say something other than the established lines.

The so-called established lines were nothing more than asking everyone to thank the English Lord for the antidote, and everyone should do their best to be loyal to the English Lord, and so on.

Therefore, in their impression, the Special Envoy was more like a human tape recorder. Every time he came, he only did two things: one was to supervise the Cavalry Guards to distribute medicine to the dead soldiers, and the other was to repeat the nonsense that these dead soldiers would not believe and would not care about at all.

And Ye Chen suddenly said such a sentence coldly, which really shocked them. They couldn't figure out what happened to this Special Envoy, who dared to speak like this, and even said "they".

Who are they? Aren't they the Anti-Qing Society?

However, isn't the Special Envoy himself a member of the Anti-Qing Society?

Then he should say "we", not "they"!

Just when everyone couldn't figure it out, Ye Chen asked again, "Who is the commander among you? Stand up and speak!"

A middle-aged man in the very center of the first row stood up slowly and said loudly, "Subordinate 390, I am the person in charge here."

Ye Chen hummed and laughed, and asked him, "Answer my question just now, did they force you to kneel here to welcome the Special Envoy, or did you kneel voluntarily?"

390 looked left and right, and said with a somewhat uneasy expression, "Special Envoy, we kneel here to welcome you and the antidote given by the English Lord. This has always been a tradition. Why did you suddenly ask such a question?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Passing the buck, right?"

390 hurriedly bowed and said, "Subordinate dare not! What I represent is not myself, but the three or four thousand men, women, and children behind me, so naturally I dare not talk nonsense."

Ye Chen nodded approvingly. 390 seemed to be quite smart. When he was not sure about his background, he didn't speak too slowly, nor did he show too much loyalty to the Anti-Qing Society. Instead, he defined Ye Chen's question as a "tradition". In this way, he could be considered to be able to attack and defend.

Ye Chen didn't make things too difficult for him, but slowly took off the black robe on his body and revealed his true face to everyone.

This move made all the dead soldiers and their families stunned.

They had never seen the true face of any Special Envoy, because according to the regulations of the Anti-Qing Society, dead soldiers could only meet specific Cavalry Guards, and apart from that, they could not face any other members of this organization.

The reason for this was mainly to prevent them from recognizing any member of the Anti-Qing Society when they went out to perform important tasks.

Therefore, every time a Special Envoy came here, he was dressed in a black robe and covered his face with a black hat.

But this time, Ye Chen broke this rule that had always been followed, which made all the dead soldiers feel nervous involuntarily.

Ye Chen saw that everyone's expression was horrified and their expressions were flustered, so he said indifferently, "To tell you the truth, I am not a Special Envoy of the Anti-Qing Society at all. The real Special Envoy has already been controlled by me. Now, all the Cavalry Guards have sworn loyalty to me and are fighting side by side with me against the entire Anti-Qing Society. So I came here to ask you, are you willing to be like them and fight side by side with me?!"

As soon as Ye Chen said this, the whole scene was in an uproar!

No one expected that things would be so unexpected!

And 390, in shock, couldn't help but say, "Sir, if what you said is true, then we people should all be dead today. Even if you got the antidote from the real Special Envoy, it can only let us live for one more week. Even if we want to fight side by side with you, I'm afraid we are powerless."

390's words made all the dead soldiers who were in shock feel extremely decadent for a time.

Everyone knew that 390 was right.

Once there was no antidote, they would soon die of poison. Even if they wanted to fight the Anti-Qing Society to the death, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to wait for the day to kill the enemy before the battle.

Ye Chen looked at 390 and a group of dead soldiers at this time, and asked curiously, "Are you willing to be controlled by the Anti-Qing Society for generations, or are you willing to fight them to the death?"

390 blurted out, "We are naturally willing to fight to the death, but where do we have such an opportunity? For hundreds of years, dead soldiers have been firmly controlled by the organization. Not to mention that the residence for hundreds of years is comparable to a heavenly prison, the deadly poison in our bodies alone determines that we have no ability to resist at all. Let alone resisting the Anti-Qing Society, we don't even have the ability to resist the Cavalry Guards and escape from here..."

Ye Chen smiled and asked loudly, "If I can completely remove the poison in your bodies, are you willing to fight them to the end?"

390 said without hesitation, "If you can really remove the poison in our bodies, I, 390, am willing to follow you for the rest of my life and serve you!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, looked around, and asked again, "What about the others? Are you willing?"

For a time, a group of people looked at each other.

If what Ye Chen said was true, they were naturally willing.

However, at this time, they didn't dare to believe the "if" that Ye Chen said.

Because, for so many years, so many people had been trying to fight against the deadly poison in their bodies, but no one had succeeded.

In the hearts of dead soldiers, the deadly poison was like an invisible shackle that could not be broken in a lifetime. It was like universal gravitation to them, and they had no ability to fight against it, nor could they hope that it could disappear completely.

Therefore, facing Ye Chen's bold words at this time, everyone didn't know how to answer for a while.

At this time, someone whispered below, "Could this be a trick used by the organization to test our loyalty?"

As soon as this was said, others echoed, and began to discuss in low voices below.

Even 390's expression couldn't help but tighten when he heard this.

He also couldn't distinguish whether Ye Chen was a friend or an enemy.

Ye Chen took out an antidote at this time, looked at 390, and said indifferently, "Since you were the first to express your position, let you set an example for them."

After speaking, he threw the antidote to 390 and said loudly, "Take this antidote, and you can completely remove the deadly poison in your body. Do you have the guts to try? You decide for yourself!"

390 reached out and grabbed the antidote thrown to him, just took a look, and said without hesitation, "You should be the first outsider to find this place in hundreds of years. Just for this point, I, 390, believe you!"

After speaking, he didn't hesitate at all and immediately put the antidote into his mouth! ===== CHAPTER 2485 =====
