Wen Xishu didn’t consider himself a good person; there was definitely something extremely vile in his personality.
After checking the sequences, Wen Xishu said:
"You said this time I also received a reward from the entire faction? What is it?"
"You’ll know when you return to the Bunker. Everyone will be grateful to you. I’m really curious how long it will take for you to climb to the highest position in the Bunker’s political hierarchies."
The black Deceitful Head smiled, its mouth never closing.
Wen Xishu suddenly noticed something was off.
"Are you laughing? Don’t you usually have many strange laughs?"
"Ah! You finally noticed, huh? See, I told you he would notice? This time, I’m mimicking a bat’s laugh! You know, human ears can’t hear it!"
With its mouth wide open and pretending to laugh out loud, but without making any sound...
Wen Xishu gave a forced smile, feeling that the guide was very childish.
But he thought about it...
If he were the guide, facing countless Bunker Players, giving repeated directions and being trapped in such a place, he would probably choose to find amusement amidst suffering too, right?
"I should return to the Bunker. You three, I will come back to see you soon. Hmm, I look forward to hearing your new laughs."
After saying this, Wen Xishu’s figure disappeared.
After he disappeared, the black Deceitful Head suddenly froze.
"Did he just say he looks forward to our new laughs?"
The red Deceitful Head said:
"Yes, you didn’t mishear."
The white Deceitful Head nodded:
"He really is a good person."
The black Deceitful Head felt somewhat uncomfortable:
"Ah... My self-amusement was found out, but now I feel lonely."
The red Deceitful Head said:
"But haven’t we always been lonely?"
The white Deceitful Head shook its head:
"No, you brute, you don’t understand. Loneliness is something that comes when you are no longer isolated."
"If he dies, how long will it take for the next person to care about your laughter?"
Hearing this, the red Deceitful Head also seemed to grow melancholic.
...
...
The Bunker.
When people saw the third vortex descending, they began to rejoice.
Inside the safe house, Evelyn marveled at the sight, likening it to shooting the sun...
However, what followed was even more shocking information.
[Due to the influence of Bunker Tower Climber Wen Xishu, the lifespan of all Bunker People is increased by 1 year. The resistance to disease of all Bunker humans is increased by twenty-five percent.]
This news was not unfamiliar to everyone; after all, not long ago, they had received news of a 2-year lifespan increase and a +2 Anti-Magic Value.
But when similar news appeared again, everyone was still taken aback.
The entire Bunker fell silent collectively for a few seconds.
After these few seconds, the joy in everyone’s hearts was completely ignited.
The door to the safe house opened, and Wen Xishu appeared before everyone.
Seeing Albert’s extreme happiness, Evelyn couldn’t help but chuckle:
"Welcome back, our hero."
Albert said:
"It seems you’ve gained quite a bit this time."
Wen Xishu did not deny it. Whether it was seeing Wen Chaohua or getting six whole sequences, he felt it was a fruitful trip.
So he said:
"There’s not much more to say. Old principal, I’m ready to battle the next vortex."
Evelyn thought to herself: As expected, just like Albert said, this kid is truly crazy.
Albert said:
"I fear that after the next vortex, the Great Devouring will end. With the appearance of safe houses and your efforts... this will probably be the most straightforward Great Devouring in human history."
Wen Xishu smiled:
"There’s one more thing. I need your help, old principal."
When Wen Xishu said this, he looked at Evelyn.
This was one of the Five Elders, second only to the legendary Albert in the Bunker.
The safe house could still retain some abilities of the Three Towers, so Wen Xishu was somewhat concerned whether the information he mentioned would be detected by Evelyn.
Albert said:
"Everyone out."
The old principal understood, knowing that Wen Xishu was about to speak about something extremely important and secretive.
Evelyn smiled:
"It seems you’re guarding against me?"
She didn’t use any Desire Sequence to dissolve Wen Xishu’s hostility. If she really wanted to, she could do it without anyone noticing.
But Evelyn just politely walked out, not wanting to be directly driven out like Liu Zhizai.
The young man in front of her gave Evelyn the feeling of a younger Albert. Someone who, even without Albert’s backing, could take extreme measures.
Seeing Evelyn leave calmly, Wen Xishu couldn’t help but have a bit of goodwill towards this distinguished elder.
Albert said:
"Go ahead, what do you intend to discuss with me?"
Wen Xishu said nonchalantly:
"Principal, I saw an old acquaintance."
Albert frowned slightly:
"Who?"
Wen Xishu said seriously:
"My brother, Wen Chaohua."
