Bai Ye nodded. "Then that's settled. Contact me if you get any news."
Bai Ye rose again and pushed open the door to leave.
Although he had agreed to Jin Sha's request to kill Liu Shiyue, the name Liu Shiyue felt very unfamiliar to Bai Ye.
As the vice president of the Cang Long Society, Bai Ye should definitely know him.
However, in Bai Ye's memories from his previous life, there were three vice presidents of the Cang Long Society: Lin Lintong, Xia Cheng, and Leicester Lewis.
This meant that Bai Ye had no recollection of anyone named Liu Shiyue, and he knew nothing about this name.
However, it wasn't entirely unexpected.
As the Cang Long Society developed, it evolved from relying solely on its own world to recruiting members, undergoing several transformations.
Survival of the fittest meant constant changes in many positions.
Take the three names Bai Ye remembered: Lin Lintong, Xia Cheng, and Leicester, none of them were from the world of supernatural abilities. Before joining the Cang Long Society, they were all considered experts in their own right.
Among them, Xia Cheng even had some prior acquaintance with Bai Ye.
This was a genuine connection.
After Bai Ye became one of the "Double Whites" of the Eastern District, many people wanted to pledge their loyalty to him, as following a strong individual was also 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 Society later, it was quite ordinary – because the Cang Long Society offered too much.
Bai Ye didn't blame Xia Cheng at the time. Xia Cheng's trump cards back then were the super-quality supreme skills, the Six Meridian Divine Sword and Ling Xi Yi Zhi.
The Cang Long Society tempted Xia Cheng by offering the final incomplete scroll of the Six Meridian Divine Sword's last move and the final incomplete scroll of Ling Xi Yi Zhi.
It was no wonder Xia Cheng agreed. Who would give up an opportunity to transform from a first-class expert into a top-tier master?
Bai Ye shook his head and then snapped back to reality.
The topic had strayed too far. He needed to focus on the present.
In short, Bai Ye had no memory of the person named Liu Shiyue. Since that was the case, he would have to borrow the power of the Evil Spirit Group.
Bai Ye mused as he left the restaurant.
"Well then, it's time to hit the road!"
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 Mount Nantian Spider in his previous life, so he knew it was located in the eastern part of the region.
Therefore, he just needed to continue moving in that direction.
However, it was impossible to reach the future 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 he would have to traverse quite a few regions.
But Bai Ye wasn't in a hurry. He had time now. Bai Ye clearly understood that he had already passed the "searching" phase.
This meant that Bai Ye no longer needed to specifically search for anything to rapidly increase his strength.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Steel Slime, and the Five Spirits Incantations were all highly valuable. Therefore, Bai Ye just needed to steadily improve these three aspects, and his strength would naturally increase.
Of course, he would still visit forbidden zones if necessary, take any good items he found, and strive to collect fragments of God Stones.
However, Bai Ye believed that his current strength was gradually becoming a cohesive system. Before completing this existing system, he didn't need to deliberately seek out new ones.
But if any new opportunities presented themselves, Bai Ye would not refuse them.
...
Five days after leaving the ancient town, Bai Ye finally saw a massive regional boundary.
After passing through it, a city of tall buildings appeared before Bai Ye.
"A modern world region?"
Bai Ye glanced around. Judging by the architecture, it was a modern civilized area.
But it was hard to say what specific kind of region it was.
Modern civilization encompassed many regions; for example, supernatural ability zones and supernatural zones could both be set in a modern civilized environment.
Even in some future technology zones, although energy weapons were used, other aspects of development might not be advanced, and the living environment could still resemble modern civilization.
"No matter what..." Bai Ye looked up at the night sky and said, "I'll find a place to stay first."
Bai Ye thought to himself as he walked along the pedestrian crossing.
It was already very late at night.
Occasional cars could still be seen on the street, but there were no pedestrians on the sidewalks.
Bai Ye walked for a while, then stopped in front of an ATM. After looking around, he snapped his fingers.
The surveillance camera on the side suddenly crackled with electricity. Then, Bai Ye looked at the ATM. A similar arc of electricity appeared, and the ATM began to dispense cash.
Bai Ye casually put the money away.
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, he heard a rustling sound from a nearby alley.
Bai Ye paused and looked into the alley.
Deep in 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 reached 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 man in the suit lay a woman.
The woman's abdomen had been cut open, and her internal organs, mixed with blood, were scattered all over the ground.
At that 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 incredibly ferocious, as half of it was covered in blood.
What's more, a palm-sized piece of flesh was dangling from the man's mouth, which he was continuously chewing!
Bai Ye's expression immediately changed, and he felt a wave of nausea.
Cannibalism!
That man was eating people!
"Food..." The moment the man saw Bai Ye, his eyes gleamed, and he seemed to suddenly become excited. He looked at Bai Ye and muttered, "Food, I'm hungry!"
Suddenly, amidst his murmuring, the man charged at Bai Ye, opening his blood-soaked mouth.
Bai Ye frowned. Was this a supernatural zone?
Or a post-apocalyptic zone?
Was this guy something like a zombie?
But zombies shouldn't be able to speak, right?
Bai Ye mused as he watched the man in the suit charge towards him. He abruptly raised his leg and kicked the man in the chest.
Bang!
Bai Ye didn't use too much force, he just wanted to kick the man away.
As a result, the kick to the man's chest sent him flying, crashing heavily against the wall behind him. His expression contorted in pain, showing his bared teeth.
Bai Ye tilted his head...
This guy is so weak!
...
