Chapter 229 Even the King of Hell is kinder than her

A thick ball of lightning slowly condensed in mid-air, with flashes of light within it resembling deadly chains, sending chills down the spines of onlookers.

Wang Yonghui, who had been so defiant just moments before, couldn't help but shiver and fall silent.

If such a large ball of lightning hit you, you would surely die.

He silently prayed that Tan Shaohua would run faster and not wait until he died here before coming looking for him.

The lightning bolts grew larger and larger, crackling with electricity, casting a cold, icy light over the surrounding area, like a time bomb—dangerous and terrifying.

Wang Yonghui swallowed hard. "That's enough, that's enough. Even if there were two of these huge mines, I would have killed them. Do you think you need to make such a big fuss to kill me? Do you think I don't know my own limitations?"

Just then, Meng Shiwan keenly sensed a slight fluctuation in the surrounding space.

"So he's a space ability user. No wonder he was able to bring a fighter jet here and blast the mountain without anyone noticing."

As he spoke, the enormous ball of lightning struck towards the area where the space rippled.

Powerful lightning, with unstoppable momentum, spread through the air, seemingly carrying the majesty of tearing apart space and time, darting across that distorted space.

As Meng Shiwan's attention was focused on the space ravaged by lightning, a small spatial rift quietly appeared behind her head, forming a spatial blade that slashed towards the back of Meng Shiwan's head.

If hit, Meng Shiwan's head will explode, and she will have no chance of surviving.

Wang Yonghui, who was standing nearby, widened his eyes when he saw this scene. The higher-ups had said that the person had to be alive; killing them would only cause more trouble.

Clearly, his worries were unnecessary. Just as the spatial blade was about to strike Meng Shiwan's head, she suddenly vanished and reappeared two meters away.

She gathered supernatural power in her hands and violently tore apart the space in front of her, revealing a figure in the dense black new dimension.

The person tried to run away when they saw Meng Shiwan, but she activated her speed ability and kicked the person hiding in the space out.

Tan Shaohua staggered a couple of steps before regaining his balance. He glanced at Meng Shiwan in shock. The surrounding space rippled, and he wanted to run again.

Impatient, Meng Shiwan locked onto the space around him, using her time-manipulation ability to freeze the edge of space, forming a spatial cage that tightly imprisoned him inside.

She snapped, "Run? Are you going to keep running?"

Tan Shaohua, inside the spatial cage, was furious. "The base said you were strong, but they didn't say you were this strong. Are you a monster?"

Wang Yonghui squatted to one side, "It's all over, it's all over, I'm really going to die now."

They knew Meng Shiwan was a formidable opponent during this mission, otherwise they wouldn't have immediately used missiles to bomb the mountain, attempting to inflict a heavy blow on her first, so that they could launch a sneak attack while she was busy rescuing her teammates.

Who knew that she wielded her spatial abilities with such unparalleled skill? How could anyone possibly fight her? Even those with spatial abilities couldn't defeat her.

Before they went on their mission, all the bottles of power-enhancing liquid they drank were wasted.

This was also the first time Meng Shiwan had used her superpowers to their fullest extent. Given her current strength as a level seven superpower user, she usually had no rivals.

Even when dealing with the zombie king, there's no need to use powerful skills.

After today's fight, she herself felt that advanced superhumans were truly amazing, especially in their use of various special abilities, which were almost beyond the realm of humanity.

With spatial abilities, time abilities, speed abilities, and precognitive abilities, he's practically invincible.

It wouldn't be so easy for Tan Shaohua, with his spatial abilities alone, to defeat her.

Meng Shiwan sat back down on the rock, somewhat impatiently. "Can you answer the question from before now? Do you really expect a third person to appear and save you?"

Tan Shaohua and Wang Yonghui exchanged a glance, both of them wearing bitter smiles, and a sense of death settled in their hearts.

Once they fell into this woman's hands, they didn't expect to leave alive.

Tan Shaohua stiffened his neck and said, "Since we're all going to die anyway, there's nothing to say."

Meng Shiwan shrugged. "You're not wrong, but there are many kinds of death. A slit in the throat is death, and being torn to pieces is also death. I think I'm not very good at using the Spatial Blade skill. I can practice more. I wonder what it would look like if I used the Spatial Blade to scrape the flesh off your bodies piece by piece."

Especially since you're a metal-type ability user, you said that after you're enhanced into metal, I could scrape you piece by piece without drawing blood. Maybe in the end, all that's left is your head and you'd still be able to talk. Why don't we give it a try?"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, looking as if she really wanted to know if her guess was right.

Wang Yonghui suddenly felt a chill, a chill that came from the bottom of his heart.

The way he looked at Meng Shiwan was as if he were looking at a psychopath. "You, you're a living devil."

Tan Shaohua scoffed, "Even the King of Hell is much kinder than her."

Meng Shiwan said coldly, "Speak, I don't have that much patience."

"Are you already impatiently waiting for us to finish so you can kill us?" Wang Yonghui couldn't help but chime in.

But after meeting Meng Shiwan's cold gaze, he immediately shut up and honestly answered Meng Shiwan's question.

"I joined the Chuangyuan Base a week after the zombie outbreak. They said the Chuangyuan Base had good benefits, including ability-enhancing fluid. I didn't believe it at first. How could there be ability-enhancing fluid when the apocalypse had only been going on for a week? At that time, I didn't even know what ability-enhancing fluid was."

But seeing how strong the ability users at the Creation Base really were, I joined. Once inside, I discovered they weren't lying; the Creation Base did sell ability enhancement fluids—one bottle cost 100 crystal cores. If you had crystal cores, you could buy them.

Beneath the Chuangyuan Base lies an underwater base, which I've heard has eighteen levels, but I've only been to the top five. I don't know what the lower levels are like. All I know is that the underwater base has very sophisticated equipment and excellent security measures; it's definitely not something that was achieved overnight.

I arrived at the Chuangyuan Base a week after the zombie outbreak and never saw any construction underway. I felt that the underwater base must have been built before the apocalypse.

That's all I know; that's all.

Meng Shiwan frowned. An eighteen-story underwater base was a huge project that might not be completed for several years.

If it was built before the apocalypse, wouldn't anyone have noticed anything unusual?

How did they manage to keep such a huge project in the sea a secret?

She asked, "Where are the al-Qaeda leaders?"

Wang Yonghui shook his head, "I've never seen it. We have no contact with the higher-ups at all. Any tasks are given directly to us by our immediate supervisors."

Meng Shiwan asked, "Do you know anything else?"

"That's all. All we know are superficial things; we can't get to the core."

Meng Shiwan asked Tan Shaohua, "And you?"

Tan Shaohua thought for a moment, "I only know that there is a production workshop for superpower enhancement fluid in the Chuangyuan Base. The benefits there are pretty good. I originally wanted to work there, but I didn't go in. Now I'm out doing a mission, and I'm going to die at your hands."
