Therefore, he had to kill Bai Longfei.
Otherwise, if Bai Longfei was left alive, all of his subordinates combined wouldn't be able to outsmart this formidable figure.
Predictably, if he didn't kill Bai Longfei, the base city he left behind, and his subordinates, would likely fall apart under Bai Longfei's attacks.
Hearing Lin Changqing's words, Bai Longfei's expression changed slightly, a bitter look on his face: "City Lord Lin, can you really not spare my life? With my allegiance, the entire Bai'an City will sincerely submit to City Lord Lin. Killing me is indeed easy for City Lord Lin now, but it will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction from my Bai'an City. If City Lord Lin can spare my life, I will definitely help City Lord Lin unify the post-apocalyptic world."
Bai Longfei was begging for mercy. He didn't think about resisting or escaping. It was pointless. When you saw the ten-thousand-meter-long black steel train behind Lin Changqing, no one would have the idea of resisting.
The power of a level-five train cannot be matched by a level-four train. Bai Longfei's current train, when summoned, is at most three thousand meters long, far from the Ironclad behind Lin Changqing.
Therefore, he didn't plan to resist or escape, but chose to beg for mercy.
"Please, City Lord Lin, spare my life. Killing me would do more harm than good!" Bai Longfei looked at Lin Changqing nervously. He didn't want to die, but now it was not up to him. His life was in this man's hands.
"Bai Longfei, you are indeed a talent. But I must kill you to feel at ease." Lin Changqing shook his head indifferently. "If I wasn't leaving the wasteland, I might have spared your life, but I am about to leave here, so do you think I can spare your life? Do you think I would be comfortable leaving you here?"
Hearing Lin Changqing's words, Bai Longfei's expression changed drastically again. He keenly grasped a piece of information: Lin Changqing was leaving the wasteland. He was a smart man, and now he knew that begging for mercy was useless.
His face was bitter. If Lin Changqing was leaving, he really couldn't survive.
However, immediately, a flash of inspiration struck him. He seemed to have grasped something. He looked at Lin Changqing as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "You're leaving here? Are you looking for something? I have relevant information about that thing. If I tell you, can you spare my life?"
"Oh, you have relevant information about that thing." Lin Changqing glanced at Bai Longfei in surprise. What he was looking for was the Great Terror. Perhaps only he knew about it in this world. How could Bai Longfei know? However, Bai Longfei's next words made him hesitate.
"My ancestors collected many secret manuals and materials. The secret manuals record that more than two thousand years ago, a level-five train master was born in this world. In the end, he left the wasteland and headed towards the center of the world, supposedly to look for something." Bai Longfei said, "My family now has secret manuals about him, recording some of his information, and even relevant information about what he was looking for. If you spare my life, I can give those to you."
[Hearing Bai Longfei's words, you are very surprised. Bai Longfei said that a level-five train master was born more than two thousand years ago. If you go by the time, this person may be Qin Wushang. After all, he, like you, has entered the hundredth floor.]
[If this is the case, you really have to look at this record about Qin Wushang. After all, you currently know nothing about the Great Terror. If you can obtain his relevant information, it can be considered some understanding.]
"Go and bring out that secret manual. If the things inside are really useful to me, I will spare your life." Lin Changqing pondered for a moment and said. Hearing this, Bai Longfei immediately looked happy and thanked him repeatedly.
Afterwards, Bai Longfei hurriedly led Lin Changqing to his home. He walked into a room on the west side, dug out a box from under the wall, then opened the box and handed it to Lin Changqing.
"I found it, City Lord Lin, please look. The relevant information about that level-five train master more than two thousand years ago is all in this book. Please take your time to read it." Bai Longfei handed the box to Lin Changqing, with a nervous look in his eyes, after all, this concerned his life.
Inside the box was a yellowed ancient book. Lin Changqing opened it and looked at it.
[The first ten pages of this book record some of the deeds of that level-five train master, for example, he called himself '朕' (zhen, an imperial 'I'), and like you, he rose rapidly, reaching level five train in just a few decades. Seeing this, you are even more convinced that the level-five train master more than two thousand years ago was Qin Wushang, because the time and the trajectory of the person match up.]
[You continue to flip through it. The last ten pages record that this level-five train master seemed to be looking for something. Some people in this book record that the thing that the level-five train master was looking for was something that could pierce the sky.]
[On the last page of the book, you even saw that Qin Wushang prepared Starry Sky Stones and Earth Tree when he set out to find that thing.]
"Starry Sky Stones, Earth Tree, what did Qin Wushang prepare these two things for?" Lin Changqing narrowed his eyes and pondered. Starry Sky Stone is a kind of treasure in the post-apocalyptic world, a relatively high-grade energy ore.
Ordinary energy ore can support the train to run on the wasteland for a day, but Starry Sky Stone can help the train run for a month.
Earth Tree is a kind of tree in the northern foothills of the wasteland. Its bark is harder than the hardest steel and can be used to forge train parts.
When Lin Changqing upgraded to a level-three train, he replaced his carriage skin with the bark of the Earth Tree.
[You don't know why Qin Wushang looked for these two things before looking for the Great Terror. This book does not specifically mention the reason, but you feel that Qin Wushang's preparation of these two things was not aimless. You think about it and still follow the secret manual. Before leaving, pack more of these two things.]
[In general, you think this secret manual is still a bit helpful to you, at least it lets you know about the Starry Sky Stone and Earth Tree.]
"How is it? City Lord Lin, can you spare my life?" Bai Longfei looked at Lin Changqing with great anticipation.
"Your book is indeed useful to me." Lin Changqing nodded, "How about this, I will spare your life. But you must give up something, I must destroy your level-four train."
Hearing Lin Changqing's words, Bai Longfei was both happy and worried. He was happy that Lin Changqing finally agreed to spare his life. He was worried that his level-four train could not be kept, but then he thought about it and was relieved. Being able to survive in the post-apocalyptic world is the best thing. If there is no level-four train, then so be it. As long as he is alive, everything is possible.
[In this way, you destroyed Bai Longfei's level-four train, spared his life, and then drove the Ironclad back to the base city, loaded some Starry Sky Stones and Earth Tree bark onto the train, and then started off to find the Great Terror.]
[Two months later, under the guidance of the dark, you drove the Ironclad to the deepest part of the post-apocalyptic world. Here you saw a wooden house.]
"Is the Great Terror in the wooden house?"
[You get off the train and approach the wooden house step by step.]
