Chapter 119: Mecha's First Appearance, Forced Coercion
The joint alliance formed by more than a dozen bases including Happiness, Anhe, and Hope is intended to put pressure on the Jingshi base to achieve their ultimate goal. Therefore, in order to maximize the pressure, this video conference is public and can be seen by any individual or base related to Lingquan.
Guangjia, Hao Rui and others knew that it was unrealistic to obtain the spiritual spring by just uniting a few small bases, so they took the mass line. There were many people resisting, so even a strong person like Gu Jinsheng had to take them into consideration.
Their thoughts were correct to some extent. After this video call, many bases or individuals were uneasy. The spies sent by other bases were ready to make a move, secretly stirring up trouble and shaking many people. Almost at the moment when the video call was hung up, countless video calls came in, trying to join the alliance and get a share of the Zero Spring Water.
Hao Rui's face flushed with excitement after receiving the call. He completely forgot his worries about the Beijing base calling him. He said in a high-pitched and excited voice: "I have received many applications to join our communication, including five from the base alone."
Guangjia's face was also beaming, he was in high spirits and full of smiles, "I received a communication from a level 7 advanced psychic, he expressed his willingness to join us. If the Jing City base really attacks our alliance, he agreed to lend a hand when necessary and stand with us."
"Really?" Shaohao said in surprise, "Great, a level seven psychic, that's a top psychic. I remember Gu Jinsheng was only level seven. I don't know who will be more powerful between the two of them."
"No matter who is more powerful, the damage and harm that a level 7 psychic can cause is unimaginable. With the addition of this high-level psychic, even if the Jing City Base wants to attack us, they will always have to take some precautions."
Guangjia, Shaohao and Hao Rui looked at each other and laughed. They were confident that they had already seen the situation where the Jingshi base had to hand over the zero spring water regardless of their unwillingness.
This alliance of seemingly dozens of small bases may seem insignificant, but the storm it has stirred up internationally and within the territory of Xia cannot be underestimated. Many small bases are ready to move. They are unwilling to join the alliance formed by Guangjia and others, fearing that they, the small bases that joined later, will have no say in the alliance and can only get some soup, but they also want to have a share of it. In the end, they quietly formed one alliance after another, and soon they would also take the form of a global public video call to put pressure on the Jing City base in order to get the spiritual spring water.
Charles from M Base was sitting in his office, laughing so hard that he fell backwards and slapped his thighs with his hands, making a slapping sound.
Although Charles, the seventh-level mutant, is not very powerful, his superpowers are stacked up by the mutant crystal cores, and he is far from the strength of a real seventh-level mutant. But he is a seventh-level mutant after all, and his superpowers should not be underestimated.
He slapped his thighs so hard that the assistant next to him secretly wondered if Charles' thighs were bloody.
Is Commander-in-Chief Charles now so crazy that he can't even feel pain?
Crazy, this is crazy, Commander-in-Chief Charles has gone completely crazy!
The assistant shrank his shoulders in fear. If it weren't for his reason controlling him, he would have fled from here.
Charles laughed loudly and said to several other large bases in Country M on the other side of the video: "I've told you long ago that Xia Country is a mess. As long as we find the right method, they will start fighting among themselves without us. Look, haven't some bases already begun to protest? Believe me, it won't be long before war breaks out in Xia Country, and that will be a good time for us to take action."
The man in the other party’s video also laughed and said, “Isn’t this the same old saying from the Xia Kingdom, ‘When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman gains.’
Another man said, "Then let's wait and see what happens next. At the same time, I wish you all the best in advance and a successful start."
Inside the Jing City base, Gu Jinsheng looked at Ji An and asked casually, "Who should we send?"
That attitude didn't take the small base alliances that were jumping up and down seriously at all, as if they were just ants that could be wiped out with a wave of the hand.
In fact, with the current strength of the Jing City Base, it would be easy to wipe out those small bases. The alliance of those small bases was not unaware of the disparity in strength between the two sides, and they relied on the kindness that the Jing City Base had always shown in not wanting to kill innocent people.
"I'll go." He Tao raised his hand and said, "It's just a small matter, I can do it, there's no need for you guys to help."
However, Ji An shook his head, "Jin Sheng, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to do it yourself this time."
"Why?" He Tao was puzzled. "Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? They are just a few small bases."
Kong Zhongcheng followed up and said, "God Ji, if you are really worried, I can go there. They are just small fry, and it would be too much of an honor for the boss to go there in person."
As a person who is in tune with others, Gu Jinsheng understands Ji An better than anyone else. "Mecha."
It feels really good to have someone understand you with just a glance or a smile. Ji An couldn't help but smile, "Yes. Now that our mecha has been successfully developed, we can't just leave it at home and gather dust. It's time to go out for a walk."
Kong Zhongcheng and others' eyes lit up, "Forced coercion."
Zhou Qin clapped his hands vigorously, "How cool! Who would try to reason with them? It's the end of the world now, and you still can't tell who has the stronger fist is the one who is right?"
He Tao looked at Gu Jinsheng with envy, "No wonder the commander-in-chief had to come out in person. We are talking about that mecha. Apart from the commander-in-chief, none of us can connect to it mentally and cannot drive it."
The mechas developed by Ji An are divided into different levels according to the level of mental power. The Mecha No. 1 he built himself has extremely high requirements for mental power. So far, only he and Gu Jinsheng can connect to it in the entire base.
Ji An is not a combat loser, on the contrary, he is very good at actual combat. Although he has been busy with research recently, he has not given up actual combat and will train whenever he has time.
However, since Ji An is now a key protected person, he should not participate in the battle and should be kept out of danger as much as possible.
Kong Zhongcheng said with a shy smile: "God Ji, do you think there is any way to quickly improve my mental strength? I also want a mecha."
Ji An said: "If you want to improve your mental power, you can do more mental power combat training on the hologram on weekdays, but it also takes time. As for the mecha, we will produce mechas corresponding to different mental power levels in the future to ensure that no matter what level of mental power users are, they can drive the mechas."
Wan Xueying's eyes lit up, "God Ji, you plan to form a mecha army."
"I plan to equip all combat personnel in our base with mechas." Ji An said.
"Cool!" Zhou Qin jumped up from the ground in excitement. He was so excited that he even reached out and patted his boss, Commander Gu, on the shoulder. "Boss, you are so lucky to be the partner of God Ji."
Gu Jinsheng's eyes fell on Zhou Qin's hand on his shoulder. Zhou Qin suddenly felt a chill on the back of his hand, and he withdrew his hand awkwardly.
Gu Jinsheng turned his gaze to Ji An, and his cold eyes were instantly filled with tenderness.
Gu Jinsheng nodded to Ji An, "I'll go and be back soon."
It seems like they are not going to fight, but going out shopping.
Kong Zhongcheng chased after Gu Jinsheng and shouted, "Boss, I'll go with you. How many teams are you going to take with you?"
Gu Jinsheng's voice without any intonation sounded, "I myself."
"Without a team?"
Gu Jinsheng did not answer, but sneered. Anyone could understand what he meant. How could those small fry be worthy?
At the same time, Hao Rui, Shao Hao, Guang Jia and others were still discussing today's events in the base. They had naively believed that they would be able to get a share of the spiritual spring water no matter what, and even began to imagine how to use the spiritual spring water after getting it.
"I heard that spiritual spring water can cure zombie transformation. If I have one more of this thing, wouldn't I have one more life? When the time comes, I will store all the spiritual spring water in the storage space, and the highest bidder will get it." Shaohao imagined.
"You actually have storage props. That thing is very expensive for takeout. Your base must be really rich." Guangjia said sourly.
He had wanted to buy one for a long time, but it was too expensive. Unless the whole base mobilized, he couldn't afford it. But even though he was the boss of the base, if he wanted all the residents of the base to take out their savings just to buy him a storage tool, that would be impossible. It would be more likely that they would overthrow him.
Shaohao said nonchalantly, "Of course we can buy it. It's so expensive in Jingshi Base. How can we afford it in a small base like ours? But just because I don't have it now doesn't mean I won't have it after I get the spiritual spring water. Once I get the spiritual spring water, naturally someone will come with a lot of storage items to exchange for it. By then, maybe we will have treatment cabins and scanners. We can use one or throw one away. We may even get a few hovercrafts to play with."
Hao Rui boasted proudly: "I do have a storage item. Didn't my base surrender to the Beijing base? I bought it at the internal price. It's not bad, not expensive."
Guangjia and Shaohao stared at Hao Rui jealously. Guangjia said jealously, "It's nothing. Once I get the spiritual spring water, a storage item will be nothing. A treatment cabin and a hovercraft will be easy to get."
Shaohao thought of that scene and laughed, "Yes, we are rich, hahahaha..."
They have been completely corrupted by greed, and have not considered at all that even if the Jing City base really regressed and allowed them to obtain the spiritual spring water, in the face of huge profits, whether they have the strength to guard the rare treasure.
"Commander-in-chief, something bad has happened. There's an iron giant outside..." A mutant crawled in, looking panicked.
The three of them looked at each other, quickly cooled down from their high excitement, and looked grim.
"Why are you so flustered!" Hao Rui shouted, then thought of a possibility and said with an unpleasant expression: "The hovercraft at the Jingshi base?"
Shaohao gritted his teeth, "How dare they? Aren't they afraid that other bases in Xia Country will unite to fight against him?"
The assistant who ran in was still catching his breath and said wheezingly, "It's not a hovercraft. I've seen a hovercraft in the Beijing base on the video, but it's not that one. The big guy outside is more than three meters tall and looks like it's made of steel. If I have to say what it looks like, it looks like Iron Man in the pre-apocalyptic movie."
The three of them didn't dare to delay and quickly ran outside. On the way, Guangjia even had a glimmer of hope and said, "Could it be that the high-level psychic who contacted me online has arrived? Since he can become a high-level psychic, it is not impossible that he has some adventures or special treasures."
Shaohao was worried that he might have gotten away with it. He always had an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he felt more that someone was coming from the Jing City base.
But at this point, there was no point in saying more, Shaohao could only say: "I hope so."
The three of them quickly ran to the base square and saw a steel giant suspended above the base. Just as the assistant described, it was more than three meters tall and its entire body seemed to be made of metal, but it didn't look like any other metal they had seen before. Seeing it up close, the sense of oppression was particularly strong.
At this time, someone handed over a loud speaker. Guangjia took it and shouted to the steel giant in the air with a sympathetic heart: "You are a guest. We have absolutely no ill will towards you. Could you please tell us your name so that we know your name? If you have anything to say, please come in and we can talk slowly. Everything can be discussed."
The bases where Guangjia and others were located were all small bases within the territory of Xia State. They would hide as much as possible and never dare to confront the big bases. If they accidentally provoked the big bases, they would bow and apologize. Whether it was ceding land as compensation or giving away beautiful women, anyway, as long as they could calm the other party's anger, they would do whatever they wanted.
Logically speaking, they dare not confront a behemoth like the Jingshi Base. In the final analysis, they are just blinded by greed. The Jingshi Base has been acting relatively mildly internally recently. For example, it has been adhering to the principle of common development and common protection internally, such as nutritional supplements and holograms, which are beneficial to the country and the people. This has made these villains greedy.
"Beijing base." Gu Jinsheng didn't even bother to say his own name, "Come and fight."
Guangjia's face suddenly turned gloomy. He didn't expect that the Jing City Base would actually dare to accept the challenge.
Guangjia said gloomily, "Isn't Jingshi Base afraid that attacking us will arouse the resentment of more superpowers? We don't have any excessive demands, just a little bit of spiritual spring water. It is a gift from nature, a lifeline for all mankind. Doesn't Jingshi Base have any qualms about taking it all for itself? When you wake up in the middle of the night, don't you feel guilty when you see the new lesions outside? As long as you hand over the spiritual spring water, you can save thousands of people infected with the loss virus."
Guangjia totally didn’t believe what Ji An said in his speech that the spiritual spring water couldn’t cure zombie transformation.
While delaying time, Guangjia secretly sent a message for help to the seventh-level high-level psychic who had contacted him. One urgent message for help after another was sent to the high-level psychic's communication device as if urging his life.
Shaohao saw Guangjia's little move, stepped out and tried to delay time, saying: "The Jingshi base is selfish, and a hero like you would not want to be in the same boat with them. You must have been deceived by them before. Why don't you join us now and turn back? It is better than becoming a sinner of mankind and being infamous for eternity."
A few people didn't know that the visitor was Gu Jinsheng, and they still had the mentality of inciting rebellion. If they knew that the visitor was Gu Jinsheng, they would definitely not talk so much nonsense.
There were still some clear-headed people in the base. When they saw the huge monster in the sky outside, they knew that their small base could not withstand it, so they packed up their bags and sneaked away.
The three of them didn't know that the base behind them was in chaos and many people took advantage of the chaos to escape. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to take care of it at this moment.
Gu Jinsheng didn't listen to any of these people's nonsense. He was just giving those who were drifting with the wind and had no control over their lives a chance to escape.
Gu Jinsheng looked at the time on the screen in front of him and said, "Countdown to escape, five minutes."
Guangjia's face turned red with anger. The other party didn't give him face and didn't take him seriously at all.
"Sir, don't be too arrogant. Although I don't know where your equipment came from, I think it's impossible for you to not take a seventh-level high-priced psychic seriously."
Guangjia raised his head and said in a haughty manner: "We have teamed up with a level 7 high-level psychic in our base."
Guangjia was the chief commander of the small base where he was located. He was only a level 4 peak power user. This level of power was unique in the base, so he became the chief commander. The rest were all level 3 power users or below.
No one has ever seen a level seven high-priced psychic, only heard of it in legends, so people think that level seven psychics are like gods and everyone should be as afraid of them as they are.
In fact, most people do think so. Level 7 superpowers are already the peak level of superpowers. But the problem is that is for others. For Gu Jinsheng, who is also a level 7 superpower and a leader among the level 7 superpowers, he is just a little brother.
Gu Jinsheng didn't reply at all. He waved his iron arm, and a countdown composed of a light curtain appeared above the base.
