Chapter 613, Benefactor
Luo Lan’s previous coma, along with the light on his body that was now fading away, were all proving one fact to Ren Xiaosu: Luo Lan had truly awakened.
Before this, Ren Xiaosu had gotten used to the fact that this fatty was just an ordinary person, and now, the other party had awakened.
Only Luo Lan did not answer Ren Xiaosu’s question, but instead looked towards those Qing Clan soldiers beside Zhou Qi.
They still maintained their standing posture, guarding Zhou Qi to the death.
Ren Xiaosu saw countless dead branches penetrate through the bodies of these Qing Clan soldiers, but none of them injured Zhou Qi.
These Qing Clan soldiers, with their mortal bodies, had constructed the world’s strongest wall for Zhou Qi.
Luo Lan stood in front of them and said, “Actually, I, Luo Lan, am just a fat man with a good life to be able to make you all sacrifice your lives for me, if I wasn’t born in the Qing Clan and had a powerful younger brother, I probably would have been a lot worse off than you all. I’m not particularly capable of suffering, and I’m horny and gluttonous, and I’m obviously timid as hell, yet I have to do the most dangerous things in this world.”
No one beside him interrupted Luo Lan, everyone listened to him quietly.
Luo Lan continued, “When I came out I joked with you guys that I would definitely find you the most beautiful wife in the Central Plains for you to bring back to the Southwest, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it, at that time I was just bragging, you all know, I’m a person who is accustomed to bragging and can’t control my mouth …… ”
“Actually a bit off topic, I was going to say, I will still face a lot of dangers in the future, can you guys continue to protect me?” Luo Lan looked fixedly at these dead Qing soldiers, the barriers fell silent, everyone could only hear their own breathing.
Just the moment Luo Lan’s words landed, a golden silhouette surprisingly came out of the bodies of the Qing Clan’s soldiers, that golden silhouette even retained the appearance of these soldiers, the squad leader smiled and looked at Luo Lan and said, “Boss, it’s been a long time.”
Prior to this, Qing’s military people had experienced boundless darkness and loneliness for unknown years, until at some point they heard a call from the darkness and came to the appointment.
Luo Lan’s tears once again stayed in his eyes as he smiled while wiping them, “Grass.”
Aside from such an intonational auxiliary, Luo Lan didn’t know what else he should say.
Ren Xiaosu watched silently from the side for half a day, he was a bit unable to understand what kind of ability Luo Lan had, to be able to turn a dead person back into another form and exist.
Ren Xiaosu’s mood suddenly blazed, if he had a Perfect Grade Skill Atlas in his hand right now, he was afraid that he would have to replicate this skill of Luo Lan’s on the spot!
However, it seemed as if the prerequisite for this ability was that the other party was willing to be summoned in order for it to work, these golden shadows of light were like Ying Spirits guarding Luo Lan, and after they had chatted for a while, the twelve golden shadows of Qing’s soldiers walked into Luo Lan’s body one by one.
“Is this the ability you awakened?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.
“Yes,” Luo Lan nodded with emotion, “I’ve finally become a Transcendent as well.”
Everyone else didn’t say much, next to them were outsiders like Li Ran and Zhou Tao, it wasn’t appropriate to say too much, so it was better to communicate privately later when they had the chance.
However, Luo Lan turned his head to Zhou Tao, a reporter from Hope Media, and said, “I’ll pay 10 million dollars, can you keep today’s events a secret?”
Zhou Tao shook his head, “I’m sorry, what happened today is of great importance, I must record it.”
Ren Xiaosu was a bit surprised that the other party was not moved in the face of ten million dollars, this Hope Media reporter was also a bit too tough, right?
However, Luo Lan’s concern was necessary, on one hand Luo Lan didn’t want others to know that he had awakened, sometimes this kind of bottom card was useful when left at a critical moment.
On the other hand, Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue had exposed a lot of things in this battle, especially Zhou Yingxue who had absorbed the energy of the entire Wall Creeper, this was known by someone who had the intention to do so, and something might go terribly wrong.
Luo Lan looked at Zhou Tao and frowned, “You can pretend that you’re just taking refuge today and didn’t see anything, as long as you can get ten million dollars that way, I’m afraid there’s no more cost-effective business in this world, right?”
Zhou Tao stubbornly said, “You can kill me to silence me, but you can’t make me lie.”
Ren Xiaosu sighed, he didn’t know how to evaluate this spirit of the other party, sometimes, this kind of principled intellectuals are the most headache, kill but can’t kill.
At this time Luo Lan said, “In fact, for you, what you want to record is those things that happened in the midst of today’s disaster right, that is, how the disaster ended.”
“Yes,” Zhou Tao nodded, “This matter is important to all of humanity.”
“So my ability has nothing to do with this matter, can you not record it or say anything about it to the public and keep it a secret for me?” Luo Lan asked.
Zhou Tao nodded after thinking for a while, “Yes.”
Luo Lan pointed at Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue again, “The two of them came to this horrible place in order to save us, how many people in this world do you think are willing to risk their lives for their friends? This is our savior, and then he saved you, and then you turn around and sell him out, is it appropriate to tell everyone what he is capable of?”
Now, Zhou Tao was getting torn as well.
Luo Lan thought to himself, to deal with this kind of principled person, you have to take something to kidnap him, he said to Zhou Tao, “I don’t mind if you record this matter, and I don’t mind if you want the media to publish him, but I have a suggestion, can you conceal the identity of this savior in the report, and only report on how ‘someone ‘ how this ledge was saved, that shouldn’t be a conflict, right?”
Zhou Tao looked at Ren Xiaosu and suddenly wanted to say something: “You ……”
“You what you,” Luo Lan interrupted, “Call the benefactor!”
Zhou Tao: “……”
Ren Xiaosu: “……”
Luo Lan knew that he had persuaded Zhou Tao, he said with a smile, “I know that you Hope Media also have confidential files, a lot of information is declassified after 50 years, this matter, you will put it in the confidential files okay?”
Zhou Tao finally sighed, “I will do as I am told.”
After getting such a reply from Zhou Tao, Luo Lan then let go of her heart, Zhou Tao had been following them for this period of time, so Luo Lan gradually understood what kind of person Zhou Tao was.
With this kind of person to make an agreement, do not need to be small minded to the heart of a gentleman, as long as the other party promised, it will certainly be done.
When this matter is over, Luo Lan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air to feel a little bit relaxed, and suddenly Zhou Qi’s voice came from the side: “I’ll see when you, the fat man, intend to help me up …….”
Zhou Qi while talking, but also while coughing up blood, everyone just remembered, Zhou Qi is not dead yet ……
