The Death List Novel - Chapter 261

Chapter 261 A True Lie
“Tang, go over a little bit more. Right, that’s it” The two of them quickly returned to the warehouse. Qin Lun ordered the black-haired youth to park the Apostle Mech in the middle of the warehouse.

The Atlanteans in the warehouse had already woken up, and no one could sleep peacefully in this situation. Seeing the mecha walk over, the crowd quietly moved away from their beds, leaving an empty space for the mecha.

Although they didn’t know what Qin Lun wanted to do, there was a trace of deep worry in their eyes. If the person driving the mecha wasn’t Tang, the warehouse would have been in a mess.

Chi! After parking the mecha, the black-haired youth opened the hatch of the exoskeletal mecha. This hatch was made of a single piece of crystal glass and belonged to the apostles’ spiritual equipment. Its surface contained the power of Laws, which was stronger than ordinary hatches, and its defensive power was no less than a purple-colored shield.

“Mina!” Seeing the mecha open, Karu, who had already returned to the warehouse earlier, hurriedly stepped forward and carried the girl out of the warehouse.

“Grandpa Karu, I saw Dad just now!” Mina rubbed her eyes and a happy smile appeared on her fleshy little face. “Hey, this is … my necklace! Grandpa Kalu, look, the necklace is back!”

Kalu looked at the necklace on Mina’s small hand, his expression becoming more complicated. He calmly said to Qin Lun, “Thank you, my lord!”

“Don’t come out yet, Tang!” Qin Lun smiled and nodded. He greeted the black-haired youth who was about to climb out of the mecha, “Check the mecha and pull out the energy core!”

“Your Excellency, after pulling out the energy core, the mecha won’t be able to move!” Tang hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly, “Furthermore, this item is an apostle equipment. If it is inserted back, it will probably belong to the category of repairing the apostle equipment. I’m afraid it will require a shattered crystal!”

“It doesn’t matter. Just pull it out and give it to me!” Qin Lun had a smile on his face, but his attitude was unusually resolute.

The black-haired youth looked at the apostle mecha with a trace of regret in his eyes. He buried his head and started to work inside. When he came out, he already had a droplet-shaped Doling Crystal in his hand.

Qin Lun took the Doling Crystal from the black-haired youth and examined it carefully. The droplet-shaped crystal was the size of an adult fist and was purple-red. A thick liquid like mercury flowed inside the crystal.

[Dream Magic Crystal: A specialty of the Lannian world. This is a crystal container that contains a high concentration of magic power. The magic power inside the crystal is complex and cannot be absorbed directly by creatures. However, it can be used as a power source for magic tools and magic arrays. After the magic power inside the crystal is used up, you can use various methods to charge it.]

Looking at the description of the items on the death list, Qin Lun smiled faintly. This item was really good. It was basically equivalent to a battery that could be recharged repeatedly. It should be worth quite a bit.

“Although I took away the energy core, just in case, I should add another insurance!” Qin Lun muttered to himself as he looked at the apostle mecha. He flipped his right hand and the Evil Dagger landed in his palm.

“Sir” Seeing Qin Lun’s movements, the black-haired youth was shocked and couldn’t help but step forward to stop him. However, just two steps away, he was stopped by someone. “Meimei …”

“Don’t go, Tang. I don’t want anything to happen to you!” The blonde girl looked at the black-haired youth and shook her head. Her eyes revealed a trace of pleading, “We can’t stop Lord Saint!”

“But” A trace of heartache appeared on the black-haired youth’s face. He turned his head and couldn’t bear to see the tragic state of the mech anymore.

However, Qin Lun, who had sabotaged the mecha, had run into unexpected trouble. When the Evil Dagger landed on the joints of the mecha’s limbs, it would be stopped by a thin barrier of Laws.

Fortunately, the apostle mecha no longer had an energy core, and there were no apostles driving inside, so it could only rely on the durability of the equipment itself. However, the Evil Dagger’s ability to cut off fate was a natural enemy with long-lasting equipment. It could cause damage to all equipment below the Legendary level.

Not long after, the apostle mecha’s limb joints and the sensors on its head were completely severed by the Evil Dagger. This time, even if the energy core was plugged in, it wouldn’t be able to move.

Seeing Qin Lun stop, Ames and Karu, who had been silently waiting beside him, glanced at each other and leaned forward.

“Lord Qin Lun, you’ve already obtained what you want. Can you help us resolve some of our doubts now?” Ames asked cautiously.

However, Qin Lun ignored him immediately. Instead, he turned to Karu and asked, “Have you activated the alert system in the general control room? If those two came out, would this place know immediately?”

“Yes, the alarm system in the main control room is connected to the sensors in the warehouse. If the two saints escape from the main control room, the alarm light will light up with a red signal!” Karu nodded and pointed at an explosion-proof lamp above the warehouse.

‘”So there’s still some time” Qin Lun smiled, rubbed his hands and turned to look at Ames. “Alright then, if you have any questions, you can ask them now!”

“My lord, can you tell us why the floating cities that invaded Atlantis haven’t attacked the Holy City yet? What do the orange-colored shields that appeared in the Holy City represent these past two days?” Ames licked his dry lips and looked at Qin Lun with a burning gaze.

‘”Those orange-yellow shields are the battle zones created by the shattered starry sky in the Holy City. As for why the floating cities of the intelligent races are still outside the city … Of course, it’s because they are waiting for the final outcome of the battle!” Qin Lun said calmly, “Once the battle is over, they will send troops into the city to completely end the war in Atlantis.”

“A hegemonic battle? Sir, is the Holy City going to become a battlefield again? However, we no longer have any resistance here. Why are we still fighting a hegemonic war?” Anris and Karu took a deep breath and continued to ask with trembling voices.

“Don’t worry, this war has nothing to do with you! It’s the cities of the apostles hired by the intelligent races to divide up the huge cake of the Holy City of Atlantis.” Qin Lun smiled faintly and said, “This war is called the City War. It’s just an apostle war. There are no intelligent races involved!”

“We are involved in the war of the saints?!” Qin Lun’s voice wasn’t low, and the warehouse was in an uproar.

“Quiet, quiet!” Anlis and Karu shouted loudly towards the surroundings. After everyone calmed down a little, they looked at Qin Lun with pale faces. “Sir, since those orange-yellow shields were created by the Shattered Universe, do you have a way to open the Universal Portal and teleport us out?”

“We can’t open it yet. This urban battle will take two weeks. After two weeks, the portal can be reopened.” Qin Lun smiled and continued, “The apostles who entered the battlefield were sealed off. They didn’t even have food or water. This was a complete battle for survival!”

“In that case, you’ve been lying to us!” Anger flashed in Karu’s eyes, and he felt dizzy. With a muffled snort, he fell to the ground.

“Deceive you? No, no, I’m not deceiving you. I just promised that if you survive, I’ll let you teleport away. If you don’t survive, then you can’t blame me!” Qin Lun shook his head calmly.

“My lord, although we are not soldiers, we have been fighting against wild creatures for the past two years. Please let us fight alongside you to win this hegemonic battle for you!” An Lisi’s expression was uncertain, and he quickly gritted his teeth and made a decision.

‘”Anlis” Kalu, who was sitting on the ground, raised his head with a flush on his face. At this moment, the chief priest of the Anka tribe finally felt that Amis was more suited to lead the refugee army than he was.

“Oh?” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and looked at the old priest seriously for the first time. A trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He then shook his head with a smile, “Your decision is very good, but it’s unrealistic! If your number is not 130, but 13,000, then it’s really possible that you will last for two weeks under the siege of 200 apostles!”

“Two hundred professional saints” Ames finally lost his voice, his eyes filled with despair.

Kalu suddenly remembered something and struggled to get up from the ground. He pulled Anris and anxiously said, “Anris, let’s split up before dawn. After all, these saints are not here specifically for us. As long as we hide, some of them should survive.”

“Dudu!” While the Atlanteans in the warehouse were panicking, the police lights at the top of the warehouse began to flash with a fiery red light.

“Haha, those two people have finally come out!” Qin Lun’s eyes shone with a cold light. He sized up the warehouse and smiled. “Then … you can go on your way!”

“You want to kill us?!” Anlis and Karu were stunned at the same time, their eyes widening in disbelief.

“Didn’t I say that? This battle is a battle for survival. You have stored so much food and clean water here, which is not very beneficial to my plan!” Qin Lun grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. He took out a light body technique scroll from his bosom and tore it apart.

He kicked his feet and rolled up like the wind, landing at the entrance of the warehouse. His left hand with the “sacrificial” gloves aimed at the opening mechanism of the warehouse gate. As a wave of laws flashed across the gloves, a huge spider web covered the gate mechanism tightly.

Tier 5 biochemical spell-spider web spell!

“Stop!” Seeing this, a trace of sorrow flashed through Ames’s eyes. With one last glimmer of hope, he shouted, “Sir, we are willing to burn the food and water in the warehouse …”

“Stupid!” Qin Lun turned his head and his eyes turned blood red. “You actually believe that fellow. Uncle Joey is truly sad for you! Don’t you think that you are also walking bread in the eyes of those apostles?”
