Chapter 440 Facing Death

Standing to the side, Luo Xiangchen spoke up, "I'll go tell the other ability users that we'll risk our lives to build a path."

Lu Yu hesitated, "Do you want to use your control-type ability? The ability users have been with the base until now, they should know what to choose in this extreme situation."

You can't force someone to die when it comes to something like this.

Luo Xiangchen shook his head. "Human nature is complex; people are afraid, they might run away, they might back down. We can't lose this time. If we lose, the whole world will continue to suffer. So we can't allow any mistakes."

Before the floodwaters burst, every pebble was crucial; now, every superhuman is just as vital. Even the smallest increase in power from one more superhuman might just secure a greater opportunity for the base commander.

Regardless, every superhuman here must bravely face death to carve out a chance for the base commander.

They cannot gamble; one wrong move and the whole game is lost.

They cannot give those with superpowers the opportunity to choose for themselves; whether they are willing or not, they all have to contribute their share.

After discussing their tactics, the group set off to gather the other ability users.

In reality, they didn't have any tactics. When facing an absolutely powerful enemy, any tactic would be futile.

What they had to do was contribute their meager strength, let it flow together, and make a small impact on the enemy.

Tens of thousands of superhumans within the base gathered in one place, their eyes filled with deep sorrow and worry.

The battle between the base commander and the system shows that the base commander's situation is not optimistic.

They were also waiting to see what countermeasures these base leaders could come up with to wipe out that terrible enemy.

Jiang Yuan grabbed Luo Xiangchen and slowly lifted him into the air. Luo Xiangchen's voice rang out in mid-air.

"Everyone look at me. Now is the time when each of you is needed. The system dies, the apocalypse ends, and everything will slowly return to normal life before the apocalypse."

But if the base commander is defeated, everyone standing here now will die, and this apocalypse may never end.

We bear the weight of the world's future on our shoulders; we must help the base commander forge a path forward.

The choice is simple: will the whole world perish, or will we sacrifice some of our lives to fight for a brighter future for this world? I believe you can all make the right decision.

Upon hearing Luo Xiangchen's words, the superhumans were both shocked and became increasingly solemn.

They hadn't expected things to be this serious; they had simply assumed the robot was an enemy of Dawn Base.

I never imagined that the robot would become the enemy of the entire world.

If they could kill him, this terrible disaster would end, and the possibility of ending everything would be right before their eyes.

Whether the world is destroyed or a glimmer of hope is gained, there is no need to choose.

"Kill the system and end the apocalypse."

"If my life could end the apocalypse, I would do it."

"Kill the system and let everything return to normal."

Looking at the indignant crowd, Luo Xiangchen shouted, "All superhumans, follow us and attack the system! Even ants can kill an elephant. Unleash all your attacks and go all out!"

The Dawn Squad led the charge, followed closely by the superhumans, rushing towards the direction of the battle within the base.

"elder brother!……"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out. Ji Qiu, who was rushing forward with the superhuman, turned his head and saw his sister standing in the crowd, screaming in anguish. She wanted to rush up to him, but was pulled back by an older woman next to her.

Ji Qiu felt a lump in her throat, turned her head away and refused to look again, following the superhuman squad to her death.

If his life could bring a bright future to his sister and to the world, it would all be worth it.

The auntie held onto Ji Chun tightly, saying, "Stop shouting. They are heroes. They need to fight and drive away the enemy so that we can live a good life."

Ji Chun cried her heart out, "I don't want my brother to be a hero, I just want my brother to come back, I want my brother to live, as long as my brother can be by my side, I don't care about having a good life."

The woman sighed, "Good child, we can't help you much, so let's not make things worse."

The superhumans gradually approached the battle zone. Sai Xishi rushed to the front, her eyes red-rimmed. "Wanwan, I promised to fight alongside you this time, but I'm still too weak. I can't stand by your side."

"But it's okay, I'll rush ahead of you and clear a path for you."

She glanced longingly at Meng Shiwan, who was locked in a fierce battle with the system, then unleashed all her supernatural abilities, transforming them into a mental attack that hurtled towards the system.

This mental attack had no effect on the system.

But in the next second, countless attacks came crashing down on the system. Each one was extremely powerful, a fatal blow unleashed by the superhumans using all their abilities.

The system sensed something was wrong and tried to dodge, but Meng Shiwan was faster. She also used all her powers to create a spatial lock, pinning the system to the spot and forcing it to take the hit head-on.

Tens of thousands of powerful attacks crashed down on the system, completely overwhelming it.

Meng Shiwan rushed towards the system at lightning speed, while simultaneously taking out two vials of power-enhancing liquid and gulping them down to replenish her energy. In those critical few seconds, the system was momentarily stunned by the barrage of attacks.

It was during this brief pause that Meng Shiwan seized the opportunity, shooting towards the system like a sharp sword, her hand clenched into a claw, aiming for the system's chest.

Just as her hand pierced through two layers of steel plates and touched the system's chip, her arm was firmly welded into a metal claw, forcefully intercepting her attack.

The system stared at the person in front of it, gritting its teeth, "Meng Shiwan, I told you you can't kill me."

It forcefully pried Meng Shiwan's hand out.

Seeing that her sneak attack had failed, Meng Shiwan gripped and pulled the system's chest wires, pulling it out with her.

A large hole was ripped out of the system's chest, accompanied by sparks and lightning, crackling and popping.

The system gripped Meng Shiwan's arm tightly, while its other hand pulled out a lightsaber and thrust it towards Meng Shiwan's heart.

Meng Shiwan acted decisively, cutting off his own arm to save his life. He smashed his own arm with his other hand and dodged back dozens of meters.

Neither side gained an advantage in this confrontation; Meng Shiwan damaged some of the system's critical lines.

Meng Shiwan also lost an arm.

Her current metallic body cannot be repaired with healing methods. With the system eyeing her covetously, she cannot return to her physical state, as that would only make things more dangerous.
