Dual Worlds: I Have a Doomsday World

Lin Qi witnessed everything that was happening inside Hongshan Camp.

He began to ponder how he could save Ding Yang’s life.

After all, Ding Yang was one of Lin Qi’s few acquaintances in the Doomsday World. The main reason Lin Qi had come to check on Hongshan Camp was for Ding Yang’s sake.

If it weren’t for his friendship with Ding Yang, Lin Qi likely wouldn’t have been willing to take any risks.

Any camp could have relayed a message to Headquarters; there was nothing special about Hongshan Camp.

’I can’t rush this. The more I rush, the harder it will be to save Ding Yang. Hopefully, he’ll be flexible after the Moon Worshipers confirm his identity. Otherwise...’

Lin Qi subconsciously shook his head.

If Ding Yang chose to clash head-on with the Moon Worshipers, it would be nearly impossible to save his life.

However, if Ding Yang died, Lin Qi wouldn’t have to overthink things. He had no connection to anyone else in Hongshan Camp.

When it came time to fight the Moon Worshipers, casualties in Hongshan Camp would be unavoidable.

Even if word got back to Headquarters, Lin Qi wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of pressure.

’I just hope Ding Yang can be flexible.’

...

Perhaps Lin Qi’s hopes had some effect.

The Blood Moon Envoy from Myanmar brought his men to the temporary command post to identify the target. After they pointed out Ding Yang, Ding Yang didn’t act too tough.

Jin Wei walked over to Ding Yang, his face full of doubt. "So you really are Ding Yang?"

Another Blood Moon Envoy was already holding Ding Yang up by the arms. With a bit of blood on his lips, he said, "I’m willing to take you to Mo University Camp, but I have one condition."

Ding Yang’s mind raced. He had just heard Jin Wei’s words and knew with certainty that he absolutely could not die.

’If they take my corpse to Mo University Camp, Lin Qi and Wang Ziru might actually let their guard down.’

’If I go with them alive, I might find a way to turn this around.’

The doubt on Jin Wei’s face faded slightly. ’Now this is more like it! It’s only normal to have conditions!’

’Otherwise, knowing the way Dragon Country People are, I’d really have to suspect some kind of conspiracy was waiting for me.’

Jin Wei’s expression turned mocking. "You’re in no position to negotiate with me. You heard what I said earlier, right? Even if you’re dead, I can still take your corpse to Mo University Camp and achieve my goal."

Ding Yang had already thought of a countermeasure. "No, you’re mistaken. If you take my corpse, you’ll definitely be discovered."

"There’s a Tier Three Awakened sent from Headquarters stationed at Mo University Camp. He can detect and pinpoint any living creature within a hundred-meter radius."

"He’s in charge of security at Mo University Camp now. If a corpse were to appear before him, he would definitely notice!"

Ding Yang’s words were half-truths. He distorted Wang Qiang’s Ability, but he did reveal the true information that Wang Qiang, a Tier Three Extraordinary, existed.

A pure lie is hard to believe, but one mixed with truth is a different story.

Upon hearing this, Jin Wei’s brow furrowed.

He wasn’t about to question the truth of this intelligence. If it was fake, all the better.

But what if it was real?

Everyone had seen the power of Mo University Camp’s weaponry. If they made one mistake, they were all dead.

He had to be extremely cautious.

For this reason, Jin Wei didn’t answer Ding Yang right away. After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "Alright, let’s hear it. What’s your condition?"

Inside the temporary command post, it was as if everyone had stopped breathing.

The leaders of Hongshan Camp all looked toward Ding Yang. They had no idea what he was planning.

But they were willing to trust him.

Ding Yang would never betray his country.

Even if that country was already on the brink of collapse.

"Don’t kill anyone. Don’t kill anyone inside Hongshan Camp."

"I don’t need your promise. Just take me with you to Mo University Camp. As long as you haven’t killed anyone by the time I leave, I’ll cooperate with your operation."

Ding Yang didn’t make any complicated demands. He knew very well that any promise would be nothing but empty words to a Blood Moon Envoy.

They had betrayed humanity itself; why would they value a mere promise?

What Ding Yang wanted was to temporarily protect the survivors of Hongshan Camp.

He had to gamble!

Gamble that he could find a way to turn the tables.

Gamble that Lin Qi would understand the situation and orchestrate a comeback.

More than he trusted himself, Ding Yang trusted Lin Qi.

As long as Lin Qi could turn the tables, the people of Hongshan Camp could be saved.

Ding Yang was trying to buy the survivors a glimmer of hope.

Jin Wei gave Ding Yang a long, hard look. "You should know that this is meaningless. It’s nothing more than a way to console yourself."

Ding Yang shook his head, his gaze firm. Not even caring if the other man could see through his plan, he said, "If you want to make a move on Mo University Camp, this is your only way."

"Of course, I’m also making a bet. I’m betting that you’ll fail. I’m betting that even if I cooperate, Mo University Camp will still sense that something is wrong."

"As long as you lose, even if it means my certain death in this game, the survivors of Hongshan Camp will have a chance to live."

Seeing Jin Wei’s brow furrow even tighter, Ding Yang pressed his advantage. "You can refuse me, but then you’ll have no choice but to try with my corpse. And I can tell you right now, a corpse will be useless!"

"If you choose to refuse, then just kill me now."

Ding Yang raised his head and exposed his neck, feigning retreat as a way to advance.

Beside Jin Wei, the Blood Moon Envoy from Myanmar grew impatient. "Let’s just kill him! Why are we negotiating conditions with him? I refuse to believe a mere Mo University Camp is that hard to deal with!"
