Meng Shiwan struggled desperately in the apocalypse for three years. After death, she was reborn back to three hours before the apocalypse began.
Remembering the betrayal by her own family in...
Chapter 439 A Heavy Decision
Just as Meng Shiwan was about to crash into the ray, she quickly turned around, came behind the system, and used a strong wind to propel the system toward the ray.
The system staggered from the strong wind, and just as it was about to fall onto the ray, the ray disappeared from the sky. It took two steps back to regain its balance.
The next second, he charged forward again, his metal fist smashing towards Meng Shiwan.
Meng Shiwan fought and retreated, saying, "Are you trying to play mind games with me? You actually tried to ambush me?"
Fortunately, she has precognitive abilities; otherwise, she might have fallen victim to the system's tricks.
The system scoffed, "Who can be as cunning as you?"
As it spoke, its attacks became even more ferocious, as if it wished it could kill Meng Shiwan right now.
Meng Shiwan showed no outward sign, but her movements were extremely difficult as she parried the attack. The system's energy had been largely restored, and her strength was much greater than before.
She glanced down and saw that most of the people in the base had gone outside to collect crystal cores, leaving the base empty and even somewhat dilapidated.
The crops grown at the base had already been harvested and consumed during the days spent fighting off the zombie horde.
Many houses were also demolished to make way for the construction of the city walls.
After a moment's thought, Meng Shiwan guided the system to the ground in the base.
She was alone and helpless in the air, but once on the ground, she had helpers.
The system saw through her thoughts and mocked her, "You're not still thinking of using the farm domain to boost your strength, are you? I've already said, the farm was given to you by me, and my strength won't decrease while I'm on the farm."
Similarly, I can now stop your power amplification. You are no match for me now. I advise you to surrender sooner rather than later. Maybe I can spare the people in Dawn Base. Otherwise, everyone here will perish with you.
Meng Shiwan melted the molten metal, and with a gust of wind, it poured towards the system, saying, "So what if it can't amplify? Today I'll make sure you die here."
"Still not giving up, huh? Then let's see."
Despite his boastful words, the system knew very well that Meng Shiwan was no weakling. Even though his abilities had recovered considerably, killing her would still require considerable effort.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be arguing with Meng Shiwan here now.
Meng Shiwan unleashed her supernatural abilities frequently, and the system's lasers swept around wildly. The two fought fiercely, slamming into the ground inside the base.
Several villages within the base were instantly reduced to ashes by the aftershocks of their two attacks.
The two were incredibly fast, their movements intertwined like phantoms, leaving a trail of flying soil and collapsing buildings in their wake.
The already somewhat dilapidated Dawn Base is now even more run-down.
People stood outside the base, the zombie corpses at their feet covered with a thin layer of snow, and everywhere they looked was pure white.
Only within the Dawn Base before them, dark brown earth was exposed, and two phantom figures moved and collided on the ground.
Everyone was worried for Meng Shiwan.
Clearly, this enemy is extremely difficult to deal with.
"The base commander can win, right? The base commander created this land and gave us hope. The base commander will definitely win."
"Yes, we will win."
"God help us, the base commander must win! That robot is absolutely terrifying."
Even the superhumans were watching the battle inside the base. They wanted to help, but in a battle of this magnitude, they would only be cannon fodder sent to their deaths.
Now that all the members of the Dawn Squad were gathered together, Sai Xishi said in a panic, "Wanwan needs me. I have to go and help Wanwan. I have to kill the bad guy who bullied Wanwan."
Ye Sangyu held her tightly, "Don't panic. Although we've all reached level eight after these days of training, the base commander is level nine, and the system seems to be even stronger than the base commander. If we rush in rashly, we might do more harm than good, or even lose our lives. We need to come up with a reasonable plan."
Tao Yarong grabbed Lulu from the side, "Take a look and see how this battle goes."
Lulu closed her eyes, but her brows furrowed tightly.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her eyes filled with terror and fear, and she was trembling all over.
Seeing her expression, the members of the Dawn Squad felt their hearts sink, indicating that Lulu had foreseen an extremely bad outcome.
Qin Nianshu shook her from the side, "Don't just stand there, tell me what you saw? Tell me quickly, it's driving me crazy."
Lulu said in a trembling voice, "I saw it, I saw the base commander fall from the sky, covered in blood, and crash to the ground, never to rise again."
The system utterly wiped out our entire Dawn Base. It's a sea of blood; nothing is left.
Qin Nianshu was so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud. "We lost, we lost?"
Those who heard this turned ashen-faced, unable to imagine such a future.
If the base commander is defeated and Dawn Base is destroyed, the apocalypse in this world will not end; it will continue indefinitely.
I wonder if anyone will rise up in rebellion in the future, wanting to kill the system and end this apocalypse.
We have no idea what other cruel natural disasters we will face in the future, or how long humanity will have to struggle in such a hellish environment.
What they knew was that soon everyone standing there would die.
Tao Yarong gritted her teeth, "No, this isn't the end. We're still here. This battle has never been just the base commander's responsibility; we're still here too."
We always said we couldn't help the base commander much before, but now is the time when we're truly needed. With our help, perhaps the outcome can be changed.
Sai Xishi was so frightened she could barely speak. "I don't want Wanwan to die! I'll die in her place! I want Wanwan to live forever! What should we do now? Tell me, what should we do?"
Tao Yarong shook her head. "I don't know. I don't know what we should do. Faced with the power of the system, we level seven and eight ability users can die with a wave of his hand. We can't join their battle at all. What should we do?"
At this moment, Anjawen remained unusually calm. "Since we're all going to die eventually, let's fight our way out with our lives, let's give the base commander a glimmer of hope for victory."
"Ye Sangyu, stay hidden. Don't show yourself until the crucial moment. In the end, whether we see the future might depend on you."
Ye Sangyu understood. "I know. As long as I'm alive, I will make sure you all live too."
She possesses time-related superpowers, and perhaps in the end, her power can reverse time, giving all the dead a chance to live again.
This is a very heavy decision. No one wants to die if they can live, but now they have no choice.
