CHAPTER 485: CHAPTER 371: UNDERCURRENTS SURGING, THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON AMONG SURVIVORS!_2

Just like a snowball rolling, from a refugee village of a few hundred survivors, to thousands, tens of thousands, or even more...

The refugee village will become a town, become a small city, and eventually a larger city.

Humanity will also follow the same development path as civilization on Earth, evolving from scattered tribes to forming countries with vast territories, until the weaker countries disappear and the stronger ones coexist.

During this time, various kinds of struggles, wars, and other scenes will constantly be staged.

Eventually, it will be similar to Earth, turning into an environment maintaining peace under a delicate balance.

This seems to be a rule, especially since everyone here is from modern times, and rebuilding the systems originally from Earth is something that some people aspire to do.

And these people, led by Lily Kalahao, Caspar, and others, will stir up trouble from this moment on!

"However, even so, it has nothing to do with me," Lin Yue was very clear about his position.

He was an anomaly in this Otherworld.

Not entirely because of his 100% treasure chest drop rate.

Even without it, he wouldn’t easily choose to cooperate with anyone, or be ordered to do things he didn’t want to do.

He wouldn’t become a leader of any refugee village; at least he felt he lacked leadership, interpersonal skills, and management abilities.

So, he has generally kept a certain distance from everyone to this day.

If there’s anyone he thinks is okay, it would be Fei Yue.

Recalling Liu Kai earlier, they got along pretty well until Liu Kai suddenly went mad, killed some people in the refugee village, and defected to the Lizardmen...

Lin Yue recalled that person who only existed in his imagination, moving like a shadow in the dark.

And yet this person indeed existed amid various clues and intelligence.

Took a hundred treasure chests from him, a pile of storage spaces, and even dug through the iron wall he’d set up, overlapping with him in different dimensions for joint actions.

Could this person be Liu Kai?

Or is it that mysterious Du Ping who inexplicably came back to life and appears frequently in the mysterious journal?

Whichever it is, Lin Yue believed this person posed a great threat to him.

Even though this person hasn’t taken further action so far, and hasn’t disseminated the intel about his 100% treasure chest drop rate system, it remains quite dangerous.

"If I really encounter this person, eliminating them immediately would be the most reasonable judgment," Lin Yue thought of this and looked at Fei Yue’s chat logs.

Looking through it, he found that Fei Yue had previously mentioned being invited by Lily Kalahao but declined.

Oh? What about that?

Xing Lingfeng mentioned this to him before, and many people in the world channel are discussing it now, but Fei Yue seems to have never said it himself. Lin Yue thought it never happened.

Lily Kalahao paying attention to Fei Yue shows that she has a high opinion of him.

But, what exactly is the situation?

"Fei Yue, you once refused an invitation from Lily Kalahao? Could you elaborate?"

Lin Yue increasingly felt that this Lily Kalahao was somewhat dangerous.

It seemed like she was at the forefront in absorbing and consolidating weaker refugee villages while targeting potential resource-rich ones like Xing Lingfeng and Fei Yue’s villages, ranked higher in the world...

Consolidation? Annexation? Alliance?

All are possible.

Soon, Fei Yue sent back information.

"Before the disaster struck, Lily Kalahao sent messages to me and everyone in our refugee village, demanding we join her village; otherwise, the consequences were unpredictable."

Hmm? What’s going on?

Sent messages to everyone in Feiyue Refugee Village?

"So... you refused, didn’t you?" Lin Yue pondered. Lily Kalahao’s actions were indeed surprising.

Equivalent to offering the entire Feiyue Refugee Village to her!

If just one person wanted to surrender to Lily Kalahao, it could sway a significant number, leading to the village being destabilized and possibly collapsing!

Finally, Lily Kalahao returning to entice would face little difficulty.

If still refused, she would use her numerical advantage to launch an attack...

Brilliant.

"Yes, I refused her proposal on behalf of everyone in the refugee village. For me, guarding this village left by Guard Third Master is something I must do, even at the cost of my life. Moreover, I don’t think we should yield to anyone. Our refugee village has grown from being weak to world-ranked ninth, proving this point."

Fei Yue’s response was very different from before.

Lin Yue felt this person was reborn, like a different individual.

"So, no one opposed?" He asked further, eager to learn more.

"There was opposition, more than one person even."

Oh, indeed.

Lily Kalahao’s ruthless style, and there’s a problem.

How could this person know everyone’s contact information? Finding every person in a refugee village isn’t easy.

Unless...

"Those people were swayed by Lily Kalahao, becoming hers, so that’s how they knew all your contacts, right?" Lin Yue replied.

"Exactly. That’s what happened. Those few people were directly expelled from the refugee village; they were later additions who joined us. If it weren’t for their stupidity, we might have fallen into chaos and been overrun while distracted." Fei Yue’s response aligned with Lin Yue’s expectations.

As expected.

Perhaps, Lily Kalahao may have been doing this for quite some time.

Sending her own people to various refugee villages, then using these spies to disrupt and unsettle the villages.

When the time was right, she issued warnings to everyone in the villages; her spies caused a shift toward the surrendering side...

That way, she could destroy a refugee village from within, and Lily Kalahao could seize the victory.

Based on the information gathered, Lin Yue deduced these general situations.

There might be more methods as well.

Speaking of which, if true, Kamal James’ recruitment ad seems pretty low-class.

"Alright, if there’s any situation on your side, contact me immediately."

"Understood. You should be careful as well," Fei Yue said lastly.

Lin Yue closed the chat panel, and in the world chat panel, he searched for Lily Kalahao’s name again.

Then, he clicked on her profile picture.

The face of a woman with dark brown hair, a stern yet fierce expression, appeared before him.

She looked to be about in her thirties. According to the world ranking and her village’s score with the shelter population bonus, her village should have 574 people in total.

people, indeed a pretty astonishing number.

In this Otherworld, she’s genuinely formidable, rushing to the second rank on the leaderboard swiftly, leading so many survivors through numerous disasters, proving she does possess significant capability.

However, the greatest feeling this person brought to him was the word "danger."

From the so-called "Top Five Alliance" to the current suggestions to join her refugee village, her ambition is undeniable.

Furthermore, her means are quite despicable; despite her true capability, Lin Yue could not agree with the things she did to expand her power.

"Ultimately, it’s necessary to stay vigilant of this person."

Lin Yue sent a message to Xing Lingfeng inquiring about Lily Kalahao’s matters, and Xing Lingfeng replied shortly after.

"As you said, that woman is very dangerous. The few newcomers we have seem to be her spies, and we’ve clearly rejected her but suffered no other damage."

"So, do you have any other information about her?"

Indeed? Just as I suspected... this person is truly terrifying!

Lin Yue furrowed his brow.

After a while, Xing Lingfeng replied again, "This person is too dangerous. I estimate she’ll take more actions soon. By the way, I obtained definite intel. Lily Kalahao is reportedly linked to the Lizardmen and the beggars; she leveraged their power for rapid development. Lin Yue, do you want to investigate?"

Oh?

It seems like quite an incredible piece of intel.
