Heroes' Prison

Chapter 364 - 356 Wen Tao’s Interview

Gradually, night fell, and Huang Yi logged off to eat dinner at the Rose Prison canteen.

On his way, everyone Huang Yi met looked at him with concern; they had all heard the announcement and thought that this time Huang Yi was undoubtedly doomed.

"Ah-Yi, do you have a plan this time? This is a hundred Holy Domain warriors!" Thunder God asked while eating.

"I do! But not sure if it will work," Huang Yi nodded, speaking with uncertainty.

"Hello, Brother Yi! Hello, Brother Lei!" Just then, a man approached Huang Yi and called out in a voice as soft as a girl’s. The man was in his twenties, fair and clean, with handsome features and smiling eyes that made him look quite effeminate.

"Sissy Bro, what’s up?" Huang Yi said with a slight smile, teasing the man. This man was indeed a celebrity in Rose Prison because he behaved very femininely, which was why many called him Sissy Bro.

Sissy Bro immediately seated himself in a ladylike manner, legs together, and gushed, "Today, Ice Wind Water Soul called a meeting of the Wind Kingdom’s top brass, and I attended. They have decided to move out in full force—leading millions of members and a group of Allied Guilds—to the outskirts of Dragon City to opportunistically grab the spoils. However, since I’ve only recently entered The Second World and my strength is still too low, he assigned me to stay and defend our base."

"Oh?" Huang Yi and Thunder God both turned to look at Sissy Bro with curiosity.

Sissy Bro, known in The Second World as Lang Ge, was an undercover agent Huang Yi had placed in the Wind Kingdom Guild. Being a strong Rare Class Holder, he was quickly valued by Ice Wind Water Soul and was promoted directly to a high-level position.

Not just him, many brothers from Rose Prison were arranged by Huang Yi and Thunder God to infiltrate various major guilds as undercover agents. Their people had essentially infiltrated large guilds across countries worldwide, even including the Heaven’s Guild under the Pope’s command.

"You’re saying their lair is now very vulnerable, and you’re the biggest authority in that lair? Able to manage Ice Wind Water Soul and make some decisions?" Huang Yi repeated, revealing a smile like a predator sniffing out its prey.

"Yes!" Sissy Bro said with a sinister smile, "So Brother Yi can bring a group of experts over, and I will personally open the city gates to welcome you in. That way, the guild city that Ice Wind Water Soul and his people have worked so hard to establish will fall into our hands."

"Fate, huh!" Thunder God chuckled, shaking his head slightly, "Ice Wind Water Soul wanted to swallow Dragon City, but now they may lose their own base."

"Exactly! He had many others to choose from, but he chose me to stay and guard, practically handing the guild over to us," Sissy Bro laughed and coyly pinched his fingers together, "But I can make only some basic decisions, something like disbanding the guild is out of the question, and I can’t remove the War Flag. That War Flag is paramount. He stationed ten Guardian Mechas there and built a fortress around it, sealed up tight; only he can enter. So, Brother Yi, if you want to take over their guild, you’ll still have to work to breach that fortress, destroy those ten Guardian Mechas, and only then can you take down the War Flag."

"Alright, that’s much less difficult," Huang Yi nodded, patted Sissy Bro’s shoulder, and said, "You’ve done well this time. Tell you what! I’ll bring a Subsidiary Battle Flag over, and after we take down their guild’s War Flag, I’ll plant our flag and turn that place into our sub-territory. You can then become the lord of that land."

"Got it!" Sissy Bro smiled happily.

"I’ve got some good news too!" Just then, Overlord came over with a plate and sat down in front of Huang Yi, hunching his back, "Ah-Yi, my group of young ones found that treasure, but there’s a powerful Guardian at the entrance. We didn’t dare to touch it, so after this storm blows over, you can come place a strong avatar to kill that Guardian!"

"Is it a big treasure?" Huang Yi asked, full of anticipation. It was the Treasure Map he had acquired for breaking the world record, and it was supposed to be very worthwhile.

"Definitely a big treasure!" Overlord smiled with his wrinkles bunching together, "It’s an Underground Palace, very spacious, and the Magic Engravings on the floor are complex and grandiose."

"Then it’s sure to have Legendary Equipment," Thunder God said with a laugh.

...

After finishing dinner, Huang Yi logged back online and headed to the forum.

"The biggest move in history! The Half-Beastmen’s Holy Land dispatches a hundred Holy Domain warriors to assassinate God of Slaughter—An era’s hero about to fall!"

"Wind Kingdom moves out en masse, four hundred guilds join the alliance in a flash, totaling fifteen million people making a beeline for Dragon City—Hero Guild on the brink of destruction!"

"[Heartless Reminiscence Column] Before the fall of God of Slaughter—Revisiting Miao Sha’s short but glorious life, to be remembered by the world forever!"

"[Wen Tao’s Live Room]: Wen Tao risks his life to go to Dragon City, live broadcasting the fall of God of Slaughter for 24 hours!"

Indeed, that unprecedented hundred Holy Domain warriors firmly occupied the top headlines of the forum, and that announcement also led many guilds looking for easy pickings to join the alliance, hoping to share in the spoils.

This time, virtually everyone, including Huang Yi’s fans, believed he was beyond saving!

Nobody, no players or guilds, could survive under the onslaught of a hundred Holy Domain warriors; they were sure to be blasted to smithereens!

Some players even started making arrangements for his affairs as if he were already gone, compiling some of his achievements like he had already died.

Huang Yi shook his head with a smile in his heart and didn’t delve into those posts, instead, he entered The Second World directly.

At that moment, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and silvery moonlight cascaded down, while the night breeze blew coldly through the streets.

The night was usually a peak time for players to log on, but Dragon City was deserted at this moment. Everyone knew that a hundred Holy Domain Warriors would soon arrive, and by then, it would undoubtedly turn into ruins. To avoid being accidentally killed, those players who weren’t from the Hero Guild had all left the place.

Even the players from the Hero Guild had been ordered by Qin Shiyu and other senior members to relocate to avoid unnecessary casualties, dispersing to various other cities.

Now, Dragon City had essentially become an empty city, a dead city, a wasteland.

"Tap! Tap! Tap!" Just then, a series of uniform footsteps sounded from behind. Huang Yi turned his head to see a Hero Guild Enforcement Team approaching in step.

"I wonder if the guild leader can escape this disaster."

"The guild leader is omnipotent; he should... he should be able to get through it!"

"The guild leader won’t fall so easily, and our Hero Guild won’t be disbanded. I’m going to fight until the last moment!"

"Hey there, my friend!" Soon, the Enforcement Team reached Huang Yi. The captain stopped and nodded at him, saying, "There’s going to be a disaster in Dragon City soon. To avoid unnecessary casualties, we advise you to leave immediately."

At this time, Huang Yi’s appearance had been altered by Oss’ Eye Mask, and the Enforcement Team didn’t recognize him.

"Thank you! The scenery here is quite nice, and I’d like to keep looking around," Huang Yi replied, nodding politely.

The captain of the Enforcement Team didn’t attempt to persuade him any further and quickly led his team away. They seemed to be searching the city, urging people to leave.

Huang Yi watched them disappear into the distance, then stepped forward, wandering aimlessly down the street alone.

In the past at this time, the prosperous shops on both sides of the street would be brightly lit, with the sounds of vendors peddling incessantly and customers bustling about. But now, the doors and windows were shut tight, with only street lights shining lonely, casting long, dim yellow lights and shadows upon Huang Yi.

The maple trees beside the street were already shedding their dry leaves. The night breeze brought a hint of chill; fall was passing, and a cold winter was fast approaching.

"Rustle! Rustle! Rustle!" Just then, at the end of the street, a tall and lean man approached.

He wore a green shirt, elegantly fanning himself, walking unhurriedly with the autumn wind and stepping on fallen leaves, exuding the air of a great scholar.

The man seemed to have noticed Huang Yi as well, hastening his steps with a slight smile as he approached. In the alternating light and shadow of the street lamps, his figure became more distinct as he drew closer.

"Hello everyone! Wen Tao is here, risking life and limb, to live stream from Dragon City..." From a distance, Huang Yi could hear the man speaking.

Huang Yi was slightly startled, realizing that the man before him was the well-known Wen Tao from the forums!

"Right now, we see a solitary man walking down the street ahead. Let’s interview him and get his thoughts on the situation," Wen Tao said, approaching Huang Yi like a reporter.

"My friend, I’m Wen Tao, and I’m currently live streaming on the forum for tens of billions of players interested in this event. A hundred Holy Domain Warriors are about to crush this city, and everyone has already evacuated. Why have you stayed?" asked Wen Tao.

Huang Yi looked into Wen Tao’s eyes, which were like a window, through which tens of billions of players were watching him.

"I’m here to enjoy the scenery," Huang Yi said with a slight smile, his appearance masked by Oss’ Eye Mask, rendering him unrecognizable.

"Do you think Instakill will perish in this disaster?" Wen Tao continued.

At the same time, tens of billions of players watching the live stream on the forum were all staring at the video image of Huang Yi, waiting for his response.

"I think he won’t die," Huang Yi said calmly.

Wen Tao’s eyes lit up, seemingly delighted with the intriguing answer, and he asked, "Why? The opponents are a hundred Holy Domain Warriors, and Instakill is only level 84, with a level 195 Guardian to boot. What reason does he have to survive?"

"Because he doesn’t want to die yet." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets at Starting Point (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
