Luo Lan's previous coma and the gradually fading glow on his body proved to Ren Xiaosu that Luo Lan had really awakened.
Before this, Ren Xiaosu had gotten used to the fact that this fatty was just a normal person. But now, he had really awakened.
But Luo Lan did not answer Ren Xiaosu's question. Instead, he looked at the Kyung Clan soldiers standing next to Zhou Qi.
They still maintained their standing posture, guarding Zhou Qi with all their might.
Ren Xiaosu saw countless dead branches piercing through the bodies of these Kyung Clan soldiers, but none of them hurt Zhou Qi.
These Kyung Clan soldiers had built the strongest wall in the world for Zhou Qi using their mortal bodies.
Luo Lan stood in front of them and said, "Actually, I, Luo Lan, am a fatty with a good life. That's why you all are willing to sacrifice yourselves for me. If I wasn't born into the Kyung Clan and have a powerful younger brother, I would probably be much worse off than you all. I'm not particularly able to endure hardships, and I'm lustful and gluttonous. Even though I'm clearly a coward, I still insist on doing the most dangerous things in the world. "
No one interrupted Luo Lan. Everyone just listened to him quietly.
Luo Lan continued, "When I came out, I joked with y 'all that I would definitely find the most beautiful wives in the Central Plains for y' all to bring back to the Southwest. I'm sorry, I didn't manage to do it. I was just bragging at that time. Y 'all should know that I'm used to bragging, so I can't control my mouth."
"Actually, I'm getting a little off topic. What I wanted to say was that I'll still have to face a lot of dangers in the future, so can y 'all continue to protect me?" Luo Lan stared at the dead Kyung Clan soldiers. The stronghold fell silent, and everyone could only hear their own breathing.
However, the moment Luo Lan finished speaking, golden figures walked out from the bodies of the Kyung Clan soldiers. The golden silhouettes even retained the soldiers' appearances. The platoon leader smiled at Luo Lan and said, "Boss, long time no see."
Before this, the Kyung Clan soldiers had experienced endless darkness and loneliness. They did not know how long they had been there, until they heard a call in the darkness and came to keep the appointment.
Luo Lan's tears rolled down his cheeks again. He smiled as he wiped his tears. "F * ck."
Other than this, Luo Lan didn't know what else to say.
Ren Xiaosu watched silently from the side for a long time. He could not understand what kind of power Luo Lan had, to be able to transform a dead person into another form of existence.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly got excited. If he had a Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll, he would probably copy Luo Lan's power on the spot!
However, it seemed like the prerequisite for this power was that the other party had to be willing to be summoned. These golden figures were like heroic spirits guarding Luo Lan. After they chatted for a while, the golden figures of the 12 Kyung Clan soldiers entered Luo Lan's body one by one.
"Is this the power you awakened?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Yes." Luo Lan nodded and sighed. "I've finally become a supernatural being."
The others did not say much. With outsiders like Li Ran and Zhou Tao around, it would not be appropriate to say too much. It would be better to communicate privately in the future.
Luo Lan turned to the Hope Media reporter, Zhou Tao, and said, "I'll pay 10 million yuan. Can you keep what happened today a secret?"
Zhou Tao shook his head. "I'm sorry, but what happened today is very important, so I have to record it."
Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised. The other party was actually unmoved even in the face of 10 million yuan. Wasn't this Hope Media reporter a little too stubborn?
However, Luo Lan's concerns were necessary. On one hand, Luo Lan did not want others to know he had awakened his power. Sometimes, a trump card like this could be very useful only at a critical moment.
On the other hand, Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue had exposed a lot of things in this battle. In particular, Zhou Yingxue had absorbed the energy of the entire stronghold creeper vine. If anyone found out about this, it might cause a big problem for them.
Luo Lan looked at Zhou Tao and said with a frown, "You can pretend you were just taking refuge today and didn't see anything. As long as you do that, you can earn 10 million yuan. There's probably no better deal in this world than this, right?"
Zhou Tao said stubbornly, "You can kill me to silence me, but you can't make me lie."
Ren Xiaosu sighed. He did not know how to comment on Zhou Tao's spirit anymore. Sometimes, principled intellectuals like him were the most troublesome. They couldn't kill him even if they wanted to.
At this moment, Luo Lan said, "Actually, what you want to record is what happened during today's disaster, right? In other words, how the disaster ended."
"Yes." Zhou Tao nodded. "This matter is very important to all of humanity."
"So my power has nothing to do with this matter. Can you not record it or tell anyone about it? Can you keep it a secret for me?" Luo Lan asked.
Zhou Tao thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure."
Luo Lan then pointed at Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue and said, "The two of them came to this terrifying place to save us. How many people in this world do you think would be willing to risk their lives for their friends? They're our saviors. But after they saved you, you're going to sell them out and tell everyone what powers they have? Is that really appropriate? "
Zhou Tao was starting to feel conflicted.
Luo Lan thought he would have to kidnap a principled person like Zhou Tao with something. He said to Zhou Tao, "I don't mind you recording this incident, nor do I mind if Hope Media publishes it. But I have a suggestion. Can you hide the identity of our savior in the report and only report how 'someone' saved the stronghold? That shouldn't conflict, right?"
Zhou Tao looked at Ren Xiaosu and suddenly wanted to say something. "You —"
"What?" Luo Lan interrupted, "Call him our savior!"
Zhou Tao was speechless.
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
Luo Lan knew he had convinced Zhou Tao. He said with a smile, "I know Hope Media also has confidential files, and a lot of the information was only declassified 50 years later. Why don't you keep this incident in your confidential files?"
Zhou Tao finally sighed. "I'll do as you say."
After getting Zhou Tao's reply, Luo Lan finally felt relieved. Zhou Tao had been following them around all this time, so Luo Lan gradually understood what kind of person Zhou Tao was.
When making a promise with a person like him, there was no need to gauge the heart of a gentleman with one's own yardstick. As long as the other party agreed to it, he would definitely do it.
When the matter was settled, Luo Lan heaved a sigh of relief and felt a little more relaxed. Suddenly, Zhou Qi's voice rang out from next to him. "Fatty, let's see when you're going to help me up …."
Zhou Qi coughed up blood as he spoke. Only then did everyone remember Zhou Qi was still alive.
