Apocalypse: I watch a survival game in a safe house

Deng Yuanbo's words sounded as if he was lobbying for Zhu Zheng.

But Zhang Yi couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he said, "I'm used to being free and I don't like being controlled. As the captain, do I have to do whatever the higher-ups tell me to do?"

Deng Yuanbo smiled and said, "But even if you are in Tianhai City, can you disobey the orders of Blizzard City?"

Zhang Yi smiled meaningfully and said, "At least there's room for flexibility."

I can't refuse it openly, but can't I just ignore it secretly?

It is impossible for Blizzard City to adopt high-pressure management on the Thirteen Guardians of Jiangnan, at least it will not force them to do anything.

Otherwise, the entire area will collapse.

Deng Yuanbo raised an eyebrow. "Young people nowadays are all like you! They don't seek fame or fortune, they just want to be well off. They don't even want the chance to be a leader."

He sighed: "Ah, times have really changed!"

Zhang Yi smiled.

"Indeed, things are different from your time. So please understand my choice!"

Deng Yuanbo shook his head.

"I don't mind that. Let me put it this way, I'll let you be the temporary captain. Is that acceptable to you?"

"Temporary captain?"

Zhang Yi repeated these four words, looking relaxed, and did not say anything else.

Isn't that the person who leads the team temporarily and takes the responsibility?

What are the benefits after the mission is completed?

Deng Yuanbo walked over and said to him with a smile, "The decision to make you the captain was the result of many people's discussion."

"Everyone admires your casual and unpretentious personality."

"Don't worry, if you do this, it won't be in vain. I'll make you an offer you can't refuse!"

Zhang Yi's eyes lit up.

"Oh?"

Deng Yuanbo said leisurely, "You, the aliens from the outer city, have no concept of superpowers. Besides relying on your innate talents, you can only slowly grope your way forward like a blind man touching an elephant."

"This will cause you to take many detours and even waste your talents."

"And our Deng Group has been researching supernatural powers for over 50 years!"

Zhang Yi's eyes flashed. "Half a century of history? Could it be that mutants have existed for a long time?"

Deng Yuanbo said: "Mutation itself is an inevitable occurrence in the process of biological evolution."

"Given the vast human population, mutants have appeared throughout history. It's just that now, in an era of large-scale mutation, they've become widely known."

"Of course, in the past, we studied mutants for the purpose of developing drugs and for military use. To be honest, this research has made our Deng Group quite a bit of money."

He smiled at Zhang Yi and said, "We have a mature team that can help you and your companions improve your strength and develop your potential! We can also provide the best training."

"You are indeed very strong now, but you still have a lot of room for improvement. Not to mention the companions around you."

"Now, it's hard for them to keep up with you, right?"

Zhang Yi had no way to refute this.

The gap in talent has made the strength gap within their team increasingly obvious.

However, Zhang Yi was still unwilling to trust Deng Yuanbo easily.

"I don't understand, why are you helping me?"

"To be frank, if you want me to become the Deng family's thug and do your bidding, I can't do it."

Who knew that after hearing this, Deng Yuanbo would throw his neck back and burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Of course I wouldn't have such an idea. Even Zhu Zhengyong's position as the investigation team leader couldn't attract you. I wouldn't think that the Deng family can offer a better condition."

Zhang Yi was even more confused.

"Then, what good does this matter bring to you that makes you want to help me like this?"

The smile on Deng Yuanbo's face slowly faded.

He didn't know what he remembered and fell into silence. Then he slowly turned his back and looked at the falling snow in the courtyard.

Zhang Yi waited for his reply.

After a full minute, Zhang Yi's patience was almost exhausted, and Deng Yuanbo finally spoke in a deep voice:

"I'm helping you to avenge my nephew."

Zhang Yi immediately thought of Deng Shentong, the handsome and confident man who had little communication with him.

Zhang Yi was caught off guard by Deng Shentong's death.

As the head of the Deng family, Deng Yuanbo could not accept this cruel fact.

"Revenge? You don't need to tell me that. I will also kill all the people in Eclipse Moon."

Zhang Yi said slowly.

Unexpectedly, Deng Yuanbo shook his head.

"The one who killed my nephew, Eclipse Moon, was just a knife. The real culprit must be in Blizzard City!"

Zhang Yi was shocked.

Although he had doubts about this matter, it became more likely when it came from the mouth of the big boss Deng Yuanbo.

"The people of Blizzard City killed Deng Shentong? This..."

Zhang Yi didn't know how to comment. This matter itself had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved in the power struggle in Blizzard City.

Deng Yuanbo's eyes were filled with gloom.

"My nephew has been gifted and exceptionally intelligent since childhood. After the apocalypse, with the full support of our Deng family, he has become one of the most powerful extraordinary people in the Jiangnan region!"

"His future was full of hope. He could have become the most brilliant figure of this era."

"But it's inevitable that some people will be jealous of him."

Deng Yuanbo turned around and looked at Zhang Yi.

"Someone borrowed Eclipse's knife and killed him!"

Zhang Yi frowned slightly. "If you know who did it, why don't you go find Zhu Shuai? With the Deng family's power, even if the other party is a master at the level of the investigation team leader, they can wipe him out, right?"

Deng Yuanbo said: "I don't know who did it yet. But I can determine the scope."

"Whoever benefits most from the death of the supernatural power will be the biggest suspect."

Deng Yuanbo did not mention any names.

But the words gave Zhang Yi a deep shock.

Not going to find Zhu Zheng means that he may not even trust Zhu Zheng.

After all, Zhu Zheng may also want to eliminate the up-and-coming Deng Shentong in order to consolidate his own power.

Not to mention the other forces in Blizzard City.

Tu Yunlie, the Samsara Squad, or other factions in Blizzard City may be the planners of this action.

Zhang Yi sensed the complexity of this, so he said to Deng Yuanbo:

"I don't want to get involved. Even if the conditions you offer sound tempting, if we get caught up in the storm of power struggle, I and those around me will probably die without a burial place!"

If Zhu Zheng is really the mastermind behind this, what can he use to fight the other party?
