Chapter 127: It Really Is Organization X!

"I also believe that the Great Kun-Peng is our stroke of good luck!"

Chen Yaxi hopped over, her face lighting up with a smile that had not been seen in many days.

"Oh, you all don't know how much I've wanted to swim in the ocean with the Kun-Peng and all the other sea creatures, but unfortunately..."

Seeing the light fade from Chen Yaxi's eyes, Chen Yi patted her head and spoke with firm determination.

"Little one, don't be nervous or sad. Although we can't promise you when it will be safe to swim in the ocean, you must understand that the reason we cannot go down right now is due to the collective aggression of the zombies."

"After all, the zombies are our sworn enemies. If we were to go down now and they seized the opportunity to counterattack, it would easily cause us trouble. That is the true reason you cannot go down, nothing else."

"Really?" Chen Yaxi's eyes turned resolute. "Brother, if that's the case, I won't be angry. I was only upset because I thought everyone was keeping me out of the water just because I'm young."

"How could that be?" Lu Kai said, looking helpless. "Little Yaxi, we are friends who share the same goals. Even though you are young, none of us view you as a little kid. You really are judging a gentleman's heart with a petty person's measure."

"Shut up." Chu Yunxi rolled her eyes at him. "Why are you being so petty with a little girl?"

Lu Kai looked aggrieved. "I'm not being petty, sister-in-law."

"Enough." Chu Yunxi glanced at him again. "I'm telling you, if you keep being difficult, I'll have your big brother deal with you."

Hearing this, Lu Kai looked at Chen Yi with a wronged expression. Chen Yi waved his hand. "Don't look at me. Your sister-in-law's decision is my decision."

"You two are really in perfect harmony as husband and wife!"

Chen Yi pointed a finger at Lu Kai and raised an eyebrow. "You are my good brother, but if you keep saying things that aren't pleasant to hear, watch out—I might just thrash you!"

"Fine, I get it. Don't worry, I know you wouldn't really hit me. We don't stand on such ceremony between us." Lu Kai chuckled, knowing deep down that Chen Yi wouldn't actually put him in a difficult spot.

With everyone fully prepared, it was time to plan their descent to the seabed. When Chen Yi nodded at the Great Kun-Peng, the creature opened its massive mouth and swallowed them all whole.

However, once inside, Chen Yi realized they had misunderstood. The Great Kun-Peng's abdomen and mouth were separated into two layers, and they were currently staying in the outer layer. As the Kun-Peng began to move, Chen Yi and the others were filled with delight. As the creature descended into the depths of the ocean, those inside could clearly see everything on the seabed.

"Wow!" Chen Yaxi was overjoyed and clapped her hands. "Brother, look! The Great Kun-Peng is like a transparent vessel!"

Chen Yi nodded. "Yes, I never imagined the Great Kun-Peng possessed such a magical ability. I'm glad I didn't doubt it back then; otherwise, we would have missed this new world."

Chu Yunxi tapped Chen Yi on the shoulder. "Setting that aside, look at those frozen zombies that aren't moving. They've been sealed inside these instruments."

"Hmph, there's no need to ask who created so many instruments—it must be those people from the X Organization!" Hu Sanhan and Lu Kai glared with fury. "I never thought these people, evil to their very core, would be plotting such schemes behind our backs!"

Chen Yi nodded, agreeing with them. "Yes, these people truly deserve to die. Based on the situation, there are enough zombies here to have killed over a thousand people."

Velo, the Cicilian, wore a pained expression. "I never thought humanity itself would become the executioner of this catastrophe!"

"Nothing to be surprised about," Chen Yi said with a scoff. "Didn't you intend to strike at us back then?"

At this, the Cicilian turned red with shame. "I... I only did it back then to change the fate of my people, so..."

"Oh, save it," Chen Yaxi interrupted with a huff. "Don't make excuses for yourself!"

"Enough," Chen Yi said, cutting them off before turning his attention to the Kun-Peng.

"Brother Kun-Peng, if we go out, how are we supposed to survive on the seabed?"

The Kun-Peng, sensing Chen Yi's urgency, spoke slowly: *[There is a unique power on the seabed that you humans are unaware of. I will take you to it now. Once you obtain this power, you won't need to study how to extract oxygen; you will be able to survive. Those villains are using that very substance to exist!]*

*"What is the level of danger?"* Chen Yi asked, not rushing to act but seeking specific information from the Kun-Peng.

The Kun-Peng communicated via telepathy: *[Eighty percent danger. The X Organization has personally dispatched heavy forces to defend that area. With my abilities, I could force a breakthrough, but the commotion would be so great that I fear they would rather destroy everything than let you succeed!]*

*So, it's something we can see but cannot touch!* Chen Yi frowned again.

"Alright, let me out first. I will go and scout the situation myself."

"No." Chu Yunxi grabbed Chen Yi's hand, looking nervous. "You cannot. If you do that and something goes wrong, what will happen to me and everyone else here?"

"Boss, you can't..."

Chen Yi waved his hand, his eyes resolute. "My decision is final. Listen well: I am going to scout the path. If you are willing, we will remain friends when I return. If you aren't, I will cut ties with you now and go alone!"

"Big brother is so overbearing!" Though Chen Yaxi said this, her eyes were gentle. She could see that Chen Yi was trying to protect everyone, but such protection inevitably left many feeling deeply worried.

His decisiveness was something everyone was moved by, yet it also filled them with fear. To find a path to survival, he had chosen to shoulder everything alone.

"No!" Chu Yunxi gripped his arm tightly, her brow furrowed. "No matter what you say, you must take me with you. Otherwise, cut ties with me and I'll go anyway! Brother Yi, following you through life and death is no joke!"
