The End of the Extreme Dao: I Planted a Sacred Tree and Gained Immortality

Chapter 56 Secret
"Two hundred kilograms of charcoal as a deposit." Zhang Famao continued, "I'll leave the Yang Blade with you. If I die in the zombie riot, I won't be able to use up all the charcoal. You can search the town and find it sooner or later. If I'm alive, we can trade again. It depends on what weapon you need. If it's a dagger, it'll be cheap. If the weapon is difficult to make and the work is large, we can discuss the price later."

Zhang Famao's deal was reasonable. Huo Ying pretended to bargain and then closed the deal with 150 kilograms of charcoal.

"Wait a moment, I'll get you some charcoal."

Huo Ying turned around and left, wandered around for a while, and randomly went into an empty house.

There was no zombie in the room. Huo Ying used Wood Release and Lightning Release to create charcoal, and made a large box. He lifted the box easily with a robotic arm.

Returning to the playground, Huo Ying handed the charcoal to Zhang Famao, and under Zhang Famao's strange gaze, he put away the weapon called Yang Dao.

On the other side, Hu Caigen had been watching and found that Huo Ying came back so soon. He couldn't help but muttered: "This guy, could it be that he has a warehouse nearby?"

Not only Hu Caigen, almost everyone present had the same idea. Huo Ying did this on purpose. He had already traded charcoal several times, and he was bound to be noticed. Instead of having everyone's eyes on him, it would be better to divert everyone's attention to the surroundings. It was estimated that for a long time, those who were thinking about his charcoal would search everywhere near the playground.

The playground is very close to the Blue Gene Factory. If anyone suspects that Huo Ying's charcoal is in the factory and enters the factory area to look for it, then Huo Ying cannot be blamed if he dies.

After looking around, Huo Ying didn't find what he wanted, so he left the playground. He was going to return home and ask Liang Yao to check if he was infected.

After turning into an alley, Huo Ying stopped. Not long after, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps. When he saw the people following them, Huo Ying was stunned.

It’s not Hu Caigen, but Wang Haisheng who has a very low presence.

The reason why Huo Ying was surprised was because he heard on the day when the courier infected him that what was enhanced in Wang Haisheng's sense of taste was his sense of taste, not his combat ability. So why was he following him? You know, Huo Ying was fully armed with armor and equipped with a robotic arm.

Wang Haisheng saw Huo Ying waiting for him, hesitated for a moment, and then looked around cautiously.

"Come with me." Wang Haisheng said only one sentence, and then led Huo Ying.

Huo Ying thought about it and felt that Wang Haisheng was not in great danger. Even if there was a trap, he was no match for him. He then followed curiously to see what Wang Haisheng's purpose was.

Wang Haisheng walked out of the town and came to the low hill where he picked up Yangshi.

Taking out a lighter, Wang Haisheng heated up a lot of yang stones, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the yang stones did not become hot.

Without saying a word, Wang Haisheng picked up a small stone as a pen and used a large flat stone as paper to draw marks on it.

You are Huo Ying.

Wang Haisheng pointed at the words on the stone, then put his index finger to his lips, signaling Huo Ying not to make a sound.

Huo Ying stared at Wang Haisheng. He did not reveal his name, but this Wang Haisheng actually knew him.

After a long time, Huo Ying nodded and admitted his identity.

"Your charcoal all has the same taste. There is no way that two charcoals are exactly the same in the world. These charcoals are not collected by you, but created by you!"

Wang Haisheng was so excited that he was madly scratching the boulder with a stone.

Huo Ying's face darkened under his armor. He didn't expect that his secret was discovered by Wang Haisheng using his sense of taste. However, Wang Haisheng wouldn't think that he could threaten him just by knowing his secret.

Today, no one came to the mine. If Wang Haisheng led me here to threaten me, it would be no different from suicide.

Wang Haisheng's eyes were red with excitement, and he wrote on the stone again: "You don't remember anything, right? You survived because you don't remember anything, but it's useless. As long as you stay in this town, you won't live long. You will die sooner or later!"

"I am also an employee of the Blue Gene Factory, and I have also suffered from amnesia!" Seeing the words written by Wang Haisheng, Huo Ying broke out in a thin sweat. He saw a kind of fear and madness in Wang Haisheng's strokes.

"My ability is taste, but taste can strengthen memory. Every time I eat something, I will recall the memories related to this food!"

"I lost my memory and was starving. I found a dead body and I was so hungry that I couldn't control myself and ate a bite."

Wang Haisheng couldn't stop shaking all over: "I remembered the smell of this corpse, and I remembered who he was. I also remembered who I was. It was because of amnesia that we escaped. Once we are discovered, we will all die!"

Huo Ying looked around subconsciously. For some reason, he suddenly felt a creepy feeling in his heart.

Wang Haisheng turned out to be his colleague and he knew him!
Wang Haisheng recalled what happened in the factory. What exactly happened?

Huo Ying bent down, picked up a stone, and without saying a word, wrote on the wall with the stone: "Tell me the truth, and I will give you charcoal, as much as you want."

Wang Haisheng shed tears of excitement, but shook his head in fear and continued to write: "You have to leave with me. I can only tell you when we leave Ailing Town. I can't tell you in Ailing Town. As long as I say it, even if I write it down, it will be found immediately!"

"You have to trust me. I don't have to lie to you. Please, trust me this time."

Wang Haisheng's eyes were full of pleading, tears were falling, and it was hard to tell whether he was excited or scared.

Huo Ying did not answer, but in fact, he had already believed it halfway.

The first time he went to the market to trade, Huo Ying did not bring a wooden helmet. Everyone present at the time saw Huo Ying's appearance clearly, but no one knew that Huo Ying was an employee of the Blue Gene Factory.

Including Liang Yao, who is also a native of Ailing Town.

Therefore, Wang Haisheng must be his colleague, because he could have told him everything about the Blue Gene Factory and his amnesia.

But, if what Wang Haisheng said is true.

Every pore on Huo Ying's body stood up.

If that horror cannot be mentioned, it may even be because of amnesia that he survived.

Huo Ying recalled the information he saw at the Civic Center.

Why is Bai Jie alive?

Sister Bai, have you lost your memory?

Sister Bai and Zhang Yuqi have been trying to restore their memories. Is this a coincidence?

Huo Ying was silent for a long time. Finally, he picked up the pen and wrote on the big stone:

"Next time the courier comes, I'll go with you."

Only the courier has the dispelling rune, and only by following the courier can one leave Ailing Town. Huo Ying decided to wait until the corpse riot is over and the courier comes back, then take Wang Haisheng away. After knowing the truth, he will analyze whether his own strength can protect himself.

As for whether to bring Liang Yao with him, Huo Ying was not going to tell Liang Yao. He couldn't be sure whether Liang Yao was really on his side, or was observing him for Sister Bai and Zhang Yuqi.
