Chapter 1383 A Place of Shame
Chen Mu said "Oh" and didn't ask any further questions.
Right now, Xiao Ye has also led several powerful individuals out of the Great Rift Valley.
They were carrying loads full of ghost money, so much so that the eerie sacks were almost bursting.
Seeing this, Chen Mu said to Xiao Shi and the Wilderness Wanderer beside him:
"You two are just sitting around doing nothing, go help them out and get it done quickly."
"okay!"
Xiao Shi and the Wilderness Wanderer went to carry out the order, leaving only Chen Mu and Ye Changsheng at the scene.
Chen Mu didn't waste any words and explained his plan.
Ye Changsheng was somewhat surprised, yet it was also expected. "Mr. Chen, you said you want to revive Dr. Shen?"
"Yes, any questions?"
“No problem, of course I have no objection,” Ye Changsheng said. “In fact, since you gave me a resurrection spot, Boss Chen, I’ve always wanted to revive him. It’s just that…”
"It's alright, it's only human nature," Chen Mu said understandingly.
Chen Mu knew that although there were many resurrection slots available, the number allocated to Ye Changsheng was not particularly large.
With limited slots available, Ye Changsheng naturally thought of reviving his close comrades first.
Therefore, Chen Mu could completely understand why Shen Hanmeng wasn't revived in time, and he wouldn't blame him.
Human nature!
Chen Mu knew that if the water was too clear, there would be no fish. People are selfish, and one cannot expect subordinates to be completely selfless and not consider their own friends at all.
Having selfish motives isn't all bad. In fact, selfishness is one of the methods Chen Mu uses to control his subordinates.
Upon hearing this, Ye Changsheng knew that Boss Chen had misunderstood.
He quickly explained, "Mr. Chen, it's not that I'm reluctant to give up the spot. It's just... Dr. Shen might not be dead yet."
"What did you say? He's not dead yet?" This time it was Chen Mu's turn to be surprised.
How could he survive for so long in this bizarre post-apocalyptic world—without the protection of the Stormline (which is basically gone) and without the protection of Wangjiang Watch (Chen Mu doesn't have such a person under his command)?
Chen Mu couldn't help but want to bestow upon Shen Hanmeng the title of "King of Endurance".
"How did he do that? Where is he now?" Chen Mu pressed, eager to know how this "King of Endurance" had survived.
Ye Changsheng had never revealed this news to me before. But that's normal, as my relationship with Ye Changsheng is getting closer and closer.
It's only natural that we didn't reveal everything to each other when we first met.
Ye Changsheng replied, "Mr. Chen, please don't get agitated. I'm actually not sure whether Dr. Shen is alive or not."
I even personally believe that Dr. Shen is dead. And I'm not entirely sure of his exact location; I only know a general area.
If you, Mr. Chen, wish to revive him…
At this point, Ye Changsheng paused, seemingly struggling with his thoughts.
But after only a second of hesitation, Ye Changsheng said, "If you want to revive him, I can take you to that place. It's just that that place is not very honorable."
Hearing Ye Changsheng say this, Chen Mu became even more puzzled.
What does it mean to say that it's uncertain whether someone is alive or dead?
And why is that place called "not very honorable"?
Chen Mu said, "Of course we must revive him. There's no time to lose, take me there now."
Ye Changsheng nodded. "No problem. Let's go now. That place isn't far from us, probably only about 500 kilometers away."
"If Mr. Chen doesn't mind, let's go together. It's best not to bring anyone else."
Chen Mu smiled and said, "Okay. Why so mysterious?"
Deep down, Chen Mu also wanted to know where Dr. Shen had "died," a place that Ye Changsheng had kept so secret.
At this moment, Xiao Shi and his party flew up from below the Great Rift Valley.
They carried several sacks of ghost money, making repeated trips up and down the mountain.
Because the Great Rift Valley is quite narrow, care must be taken to avoid hitting the black hole. Therefore, the carrying capacity of each transport trip is very limited.
Chen Mu shouted to Xiao Shi, "You guys transport them here first, and then move them all back to Wangjiang Shouwang when you're done."
I have something to attend to with Chief Night, so I'll be leaving now.
"Okay, boss!" Xiao Shi replied.
Chen Mu asked Ye Changsheng to lead the way, and the two of them took off into the air in the west.
During the flight, Ye Changsheng remained silent.
Chen Mu followed quietly behind, and the two of them sped through the air.
After flying for more than ten minutes, Ye Changsheng began to slowly decelerate.
Chen Mu discovered that the two had flown into a dense, deep mountain.
Looking down from the air, the deep mountains are not the dense forests one might imagine.
The reason is simple: the previous "floods from all directions" had already washed away the entire world.
In this bizarre post-apocalyptic world, apart from a few specific locations, you can't find any large patches of trees anywhere else.
The once lush forest below has now turned into dry, decaying trees.
Thousands upon thousands of once green trees have now turned into withered trunks, lying haphazardly on the ground.
This feeling is like a head that's about to go bald, with only dry, horizontal hairs left.
As the two descended, a putrid stench assaulted their nostrils.
That's the unpleasant smell emitted when trees rot.
Chen Mu couldn't help but marvel at how the microorganisms that decompose tree corpses had actually survived the catastrophe of the "Four Directions Flood".
Moreover, the rotting corpses after the flood provided a paradise-like environment for the growth of microorganisms.
Sometimes, seemingly insignificant insignificance can be a survival strategy, allowing one to escape unscathed during a catastrophe.
At this moment, Ye Changsheng pointed ahead and said to Chen Mu:
"Mr. Chen, I think we should be here by now."
Chen Mu looked up and saw a large, flat, open area in front of him.
Its openness was such that Chen Mu couldn't even see the end of it at a glance.
He adjusted his flight altitude and flew upwards, finally taking in the entire view.
Judging from its outline, it's a circular, flat piece of land. It's quite large, about the size of a small city!
The ground is paved with cement, but it is cracked everywhere.
In addition, there are many ruins and rubble, as well as ruins formed by a large number of collapsed "iron towers".
Chen Mu was somewhat surprised that such a large piece of land had been cleared out deep in the mountains and forests.
"Is this your Storm Defense Line's territory?" Chen Mu asked curiously. "What's the purpose of such a large place?"
Judging from the ruins, there are relatively few buildings here, less than ten.
What remained were mostly abandoned iron towers. There were also quite a few things that Chen Mu could vaguely make out…
Those things looked familiar. They were cylindrical in shape, with pointed tops…
"Rockets?" Chen Mu recognized them; those "iron tower" ruins must have once been rocket launch towers.
Is this a rocket launch center?
"Chief Night, is this the place you called disgraceful?" Chen Mu asked in confusion.
