Hu Chan's words shocked everyone.
Even Chu Baxing, who had been absorbed in the complicated central control panel, suddenly turned to look at him.
"One hundred… kilometers outside?"
Gu Yunpeng thought for a moment and said, "I can feel the drill cabin moving rapidly underground. Chairman Qin developed this top-level mobility tool himself, so going a hundred kilometers outside the safe zone isn't difficult. But you still have to be careful."
"Then you're underestimating Boss Qin," Hu Chan corrected him again, "Back when Boss Qin was traveling on foot, he already went more than a hundred kilometers outside the safe zone. Wait, no, I think it was more than two hundred kilometers."
"You walked over two hundred kilometers outside the safe zone? Holy Son Hu, are you talking nonsense?"
Hu Chan glanced at Zhao Sifang calmly, "Boss Qin is sitting right there in front. Ask him yourself."
The group looked together at Qin Siyang in the driver's seat, relaxed and at ease.
"More or less."
Qin Siyang replied simply and continued thinking about his conversation with Zhang Kuang, sorting through matters related to the day the apocalypse arrived.
After hearing Qin Siyang confirm it himself, the group stayed stunned for quite a while.
A strange look crossed Gu Yunpeng's handsome face, "Chairman Qin is actually this fierce?"
Even Chu Baxing, who always kept a cold expression, had his lips trembling slightly, like he could not believe what he had just heard.
Maybe because he felt these people did not have bad intentions, Hu Chan did not keep up the Holy Son act like he did outside. He started talking more as well.
He continued, "Where do you think the materials in Boss Qin's storage box that could rival a nation's wealth came from? They couldn't have been picked up near the safe zone, right?"
Zhao Sifang scratched his thick beard, "That's honestly what I thought… I figured Brother Qin had high talent, strong ability, good luck, people backing him inside the safe zone, and gods protecting him outside the safe zone… I didn't expect all that wealth of his was earned blade by blade."
Gu Yunpeng said, "Chairman Qin usually hunts gods this far away, so what kind of main sacrifice disc armor did he use to open his Path of the Believer?"
Chu Baxing also looked toward Qin Siyang, hoping for an answer.
But Qin Siyang acted as if he had not heard them. His eyes stayed fixed on the pitch-black view beyond the windshield, still lost in thought.
"Based on Boss Qin's personality, he definitely won't say it. But there's no doubt that the Path of the Believer he summoned is at minimum a [Dawn Grade]."
Chu Baxing asked, "[Dawn Grade] isn't that already the highest-ranked Path of the Believer? Why do you say at minimum?"
Even Qin Siyang, focused on driving the drill cabin, had the same question in his mind.
Even a top professor like Li Tianming believed the highest level of the Path of the Believer was [Dawn Grade]. Qin Siyang himself had only seen a Path of the Believer several times brighter than [Dawn Grade] when he broke through.
He did not even know what that level was called, so he casually named it [Noon Grade]. Why was Hu Chan so certain that higher levels existed?
After Chu Baxing asked, no reply came.
Hu Chan glanced at him, lifted his chin, and could not be bothered answering him, still annoyed that Chu Baxing had squeezed him out of the passenger seat.
"Holy Son Hu, Chu Baxing is right. Didn't everyone say [Dawn Grade] is the highest? Is there really something above it? Can you clear this up for me?"
Only after Gu Yunpeng spoke did Hu Chan explain, "Of course I don't know whether there's a higher-ranked Path of the Believer above [Dawn Grade]."
"Then why say that?"
Hu Chan's eyes lit up as he looked at Qin Siyang, who appeared calm while driving, "I may not understand the Path of the Believer, but I understand Boss Qin."
"He can even share something as special as the drill cabin with us. If there's something he refuses to talk about, then its value definitely surpasses the drill cabin. If he only had the well-known [Dawn Grade] Path of the Believer, he definitely wouldn't keep it from us. I think the value of a [Dawn Grade] Path of the Believer is still a little lacking."
After hearing this, Qin Siyang gave a slight nod.
So it was not that Hu Chan had made some great discovery, but that he analyzed him from the angle of human nature?
As expected, people involved with churches in the apocalypse all had dirty minds.
But Qin Siyang had no intention of blaming Hu Chan either.
He had already completed his breakthrough anyway. Even if others guessed what his sacrifices were, it would not matter much.
As long as nobody discovered that he had awakened the [Origin Sequence], that was enough.
Seeing Qin Siyang stay silent, the group shifted from discussing his Path of the Believer sacrifices to talking about preparations for their own sacrifices.
Inside the safe zone, everyone schemed against one another. When opening a Path of the Believer, every person guarded themselves carefully against everyone around them.
Normally, discussing sacrifices with others before reaching Sequence Level Six was extremely inappropriate.
But when it came to the Path of the Believer, no faction had enough experience or enough samples to verify anything. They could only make guesses based on individual cases.
Even though they were all talented members of the new generation, the strength of one person or one faction was ultimately limited. While collecting sacrifices, they would inevitably take wrong turns.
And in the apocalypse, where they all understood jungle law, it was impossible for them to openly discuss such matters with others.
But whether it was because Chu Baxing and the others naturally got along in this way, or because Qin Siyang sat above them all as the leading figure, the discussion actually went quite smoothly. They each shared some valuable information they had learned and exchanged analyses.
Because high-level information almost never circulated, and the forces behind all four of them were completely different, every statement one person made would make the other three think deeply.
Inside the drill cabin, their relationship slowly built up through this back-and-forth conversation.
Meanwhile, Qin Siyang continued driving silently, still thinking about Zhang Kuang's words.
Before being reborn into this world, his memories had been no different from most people's. He used to believe the safe zones and the United Government had been established overnight.
Only after his rebirth did his logical thinking stop being affected.
That was when he immediately noticed the historical contradictions surrounding the day the apocalypse arrived.
As for what different perspective or discoveries he had gained after rebirth?
Qin Siyang thought it over repeatedly but still could not find anything.
He desperately wanted to know the secret behind the arrival of the apocalypse. Maybe it could even reveal why he had been reborn.
Unfortunately, his memories of New Year's Day ten years ago were simply too vague.
Trying to provide useful information to Zhang Kuang, who had researched this for years, was still too difficult.
However, he remembered Li Tianming mentioning before that Zhang Kuang had always believed the sacrifices for the Path of the Believer had other uses. Whether it was the opposing nature of the two main sacrifice disc armors or the point values of the secondary sacrifices, none of it had ever received a complete and convincing explanation.
In other words, Zhang Kuang had always believed there were other solutions to the Path of the Believer. He simply had not discovered the [Path to Godhood].
Qin Siyang thought to himself, 'If I tell Director Zhang about the Origin Sequence, would it help him guess the truth behind the day the apocalypse arrived?'
