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 88 Enough is Enough, No More Endurance
Wu Ming had previously assured the Meng and Gu families that he would ask Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen about the circumstances of their deaths when Meng Shiwan returned.
But he didn't say when he would ask.
It's not too late to ask after we've won over Meng Shiwan.
Compared to those two families, Meng Shiwan, an eight-elemental ability user as precious as a giant panda, is the most important.
Everything else should step aside.
Jiang Hanyu retorted without backing down, "You're talking nonsense! Right now, all the metal-type ability users in the entire base are working overtime to build the canopy to withstand future disasters."
This concerns the safety of the entire base; Meng Shiwan joining our construction team is absolutely crucial.
"Now is a critical moment for gathering supplies. Meng Shiwan's spatial ability is very valuable, so she needs to join our supply gathering team."
"Join our team, our team is the most important, and the benefits are good."
"As long as you agree, name your salary, and I'll do everything I can to meet it."
Seeing them start chattering and arguing again, Meng Shiwan raised an eyebrow, "You can offer me whatever benefits you want?"
The crowd fell silent instantly, nodding frantically and staring intently at Meng Shiwan.
Eight-eight-elemental ability users, level five ability users, if you're not going to fight over such powerful beings, what are you waiting for?
One of these people is worth a whole bunch of superhumans.
Meng Shiwan smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards.
However, her smile appeared somewhat malicious to everyone else.
Then they heard Meng Shiwan say, "I want to be the base commander."
Everyone: ...
They all shook their heads in unison, "That won't do."
Meng Shiwan pursed her lips, adopting a condescending attitude, "Then I want all the crystal cores in the base."
Everyone: !!!
That's really bold of them.
"That won't work."
Meng Shiwan spread her hands, "You guys are no good at this or that, you're not sincere at all, there's nothing to talk about."
Jiang Hanyu became anxious, "Miss Meng, this isn't how you negotiate. Last time you said you'd consider joining the team only after Meng Qingyue died. Now that Meng Qingyue is dead, you should think it over carefully."
Meng Shiwan corrected him, "I mean, you said you'd join whoever's team you helped me kill Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen. Who killed those two?"
Everyone fell silent.
The deaths of these two people were too suspicious, even somewhat bizarre; just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.
Wu Ming asked in a low voice, "Then, do you know who killed them?"
Regarding the deaths of the two individuals, whether they are seeking the truth or simply observing, everyone is curious about what exactly happened.
It's unbelievable that Meng Qingyue shot and killed Gu Jinchen.
The fact that Gu Jinchen, who had been completely defeated, turned the tables on Meng Qingyue is even more unbelievable.
Even considering all the known superpowers, a reasonable explanation still cannot be found.
Meng Shiwan shrugged. "I don't know."
If she had known, she wouldn't have so many worries about the future.
"You're talking nonsense! You're the one who killed her! Give me back my daughter's life!"
A hysterical roar erupted from behind them.
Everyone turned to look, and Yu Wan was standing not far away, holding a pistol and aiming it at Meng Shiwan.
Meng Hanyuan got out of the car to pull her away, but he was too late; the bullet was fired.
Everyone used their special abilities, especially Jiang Hanyu, who was a metal-type ability user, and he could help Meng Shiwan block an attack.
Unfortunately, there were no speed-type ability users present. Given the speed of bullets, they could only protect themselves, not save Meng Shiwan, who was sitting in the driver's seat and in a higher position.
With a clang.
Everyone quickly turned around to look, and saw that Meng Shiwan's outstretched left hand had a metallic sheen.
She was holding the bullet in her hand.
Jiang Hanyu breathed a sigh of relief and tapped his head. "She's an eighth-level level five ability user, how could she not stop a bullet? I was so focused on how rare she is that I forgot about this."
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw that Meng Shiwan had also produced a pistol.
"No..."
Wu Ming tried to stop her, but Meng Shiwan had already pulled the trigger. The bullet flew out and hit Yu Wan right between the eyebrows.
This time, no one could stop the bullet.
Yu Wan's eyes widened, and she fell straight backward.
Meng Hanyuan stepped forward and caught her, but she was already dead.
He turned and glared fiercely at Meng Shiwan, "If I had known you were this vicious, I should have strangled you when you were born."
She killed Meng Qingyue, and now she's killing Yu Wan right in front of him. She's killed the two people closest to him.
If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled her back then.
Meng Shiwan's murderous intent had not subsided, and she pointed her pistol at Meng Hanyuan.
Meng Hanyuan was shocked, his heart skipped a beat, and his face turned deathly pale. "You, you still want to kill your father?"
At this moment, he felt his blood run cold. If Meng Shiwan dared to kill Yu Wan openly, she might actually dare to kill him.
A cold sweat immediately broke out on his body.
Seeing this, Jiang Hanyu and the others quickly put down Meng Shiwan's pistol and said in a low voice, "What happened just now could be considered self-defense, but now we really can't kill her."
Meng Shiwan holstered her pistol and sneered at Meng Hanyuan, "First of all, I didn't kill Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen."
Secondly, didn't you see that it was your mistress who first raised her gun to kill me?
Finally, didn't you say you didn't have me as your daughter? When it came to a life-or-death situation, you accused me of patricide, and now you're calling me your father? Are you really that cowardly?
Meng Hanyuan's face turned red and white as she spoke. "Yu Wan is your mother. How could you disrespect her and even kill her? Do you have any humanity left?"
Besides, you're a superhuman; you could have easily blocked her. Yu Wan couldn't have killed you, yet you still fought back. You're vicious and inhuman.
You were the only one at the scene of Meng Qingyue's death. Who else could it be but you? How could I have given birth to such a thing as you?
Meng Shiwan clenched her fists; when she could no longer tolerate it, there was no need to endure it any longer.
Jiang Hanyu immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly turned to persuade Meng Shiwan, only to find the driver's seat empty.
When she turned around again, Meng Shiwan was already standing next to Meng Hanyuan.
The metallic fist slammed down, each punch landing squarely.
“My mother died a long time ago. Wasn’t she driven to her death by you? Meng Qingyue is only one year younger than me, and you cheated on her so early.”
"How dare you, a beast like you, claim to be my father? You're disgusting."
"Yu Wan is a mistress. I may be able to stop a bullet, but I really want to kill her. What can you do about it?"
"You'd better never leave the base in your life. If I ever see you outside, you won't live a second longer."
"Also, you'd better not close your eyes when you sleep. The day I decide to leave the base, I'll definitely kill you first."
A metal fist hitting an ordinary person is not something they can easily withstand.
After just a few punches, Meng Hanyuan was already swollen all over like a pig and passed out.
Meng Shiwan stopped, her cold gaze sweeping over the stunned crowd standing beside the RV.
"I hit someone, what should be done?"
The head of the public security department scratched his head vigorously, "Well, then you'll have to pay a fine."
We can't really deal with this level 5, level 8 ability user who has a bad temper, can we? Wouldn't that offend people?
Meng Shiwan flashed back to the RV, picked up the precious metal jewelry she had collected in the crystal core collection box during this trip.
She returned to the driver's seat and handed it to the head of the security department, asking, "Is this enough?"
The head of the public security department quickly took it, saying, "That's enough, that's enough."
Jiang Hanyu stared at Meng Shiwan with bright eyes. Speed ability, it really is a speed ability.
At the Central Hospital, Meng Shiwan only used her speed ability when dodging bullets in the operating room, but the footage was not very clear, so they couldn't be sure.
It's now confirmed that she really does have speed powers.
Seeing that they still wouldn't give up, Meng Shiwan said calmly, "I won't join any department. I've organized a team of superhumans: Tao Yarong, Lei Zhe, An Jiewen, and that water-type superhuman I rescued. They're all in my team now."
If your base can accommodate us, then please don't bother us again.
If they can't accommodate us, we can always go to another base.
This time, her attitude was very clear.
"Yes, yes, we can be friends, even if we can't be teammates. Since we're friends, consider these eight male models a gift from me. We should try to work together more often in the future."
Jiang Hanyu reacted quickly and spoke very tactfully.
Such a powerful superhuman, it's understandable that we couldn't recruit him.
If they annoy people away and they go to other bases, that would be their biggest sin.
Although Meng Shiwan cannot serve the base, we might need her help in a critical moment when we are in real danger, so we still need to maintain a good relationship with her.
Meng Shiwan was speechless. "Keep the male model for yourself. I don't need him."
The crowd could only regretfully make way and stop blocking her.
At this time, Tao Yarong and the others also found out through the examination.
Lei Zhe excitedly poked his head out of the truck's cab window, "Sis, Level 4 ability! I really am a Level 4 ability user..."
He was only halfway through his shout when he noticed the group of people standing next to him, and two dead bodies nearby.
He quickly shut his mouth and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Wu Ming's eyes lit up again when he saw Lei Zhe.
He yelled at Lei Zhe, "Don't quit your job, I'll give you a raise..."
As Wu Mingzheng was speaking, he felt a chill down his spine. He turned around and saw Meng Shiwan staring at him.
Wu Ming laughed awkwardly, "Just kidding, just kidding. He's your teammate now, I can't do something like poaching someone."
When Lei Zhe heard this, he felt that what he said sounded sarcastic and unsettling.
What does "digging up someone's partner" mean? Is he saying that his sister is trying to steal his partner?
The woman could tolerate this, but he couldn't. He immediately retorted, "Minister Wu, you should know why we resigned, right? When you sent us to the Central Hospital to die, why weren't you so enthusiastic?"
The boomerang struck Wu Ming, leaving him speechless for a moment.
He had tried to dissuade Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen from making things difficult for these people several times, but to no avail.
He didn't want to offend both families at the same time, so he turned a blind eye to one of them.
Who knew that these people would benefit from this misfortune and end up following Meng Shiwan?
Now things are really messed up. Meng Shiwan has recruited a total of four teammates, and he has already offended three of them.
What kind of situation is this?
It will definitely be even harder to ask Meng Shiwan for help in the future.
Wu Ming explained, "It's a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I still have a few bottles of good wine. Let's have a meal together another day and talk it out."
Lei Zhe scoffed, "No need. I'm injured. If I drink any more, I'll really die."
Wu Ming scratched his head in frustration. It was all Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen's fault for being troublesome. It would be much easier if they died and stopped causing trouble.
Those who use their position to make things difficult for others are not good people in the first place.
