The dashing short-haired woman still had a smile on her face, and gently raised one hand.
The twenty-odd people standing at the very front, their hands uncontrollably gripping their necks, their feet off the ground, floating in mid-air.
Their faces were filled with fear, their arms were bulging with veins, and they tried with all their might to remove their hands from their necks, but to no avail.
"Keep going, why did you stop?"
The ringleaders: "..."
Others: "..."
They stared at Qi An in horror. What kind of terrifying superpower was this? It could actually make someone's feet leave the ground and fly into the air?
They were educated, and faced with this situation, they had only one thought in their minds.
Newton, come and take a look, is this fucking reasonable?
Qi An glanced down and saw everyone hunched over, heads bowed, like quails.
She looked at the twenty-odd conspicuous bags floating in mid-air and said, "You ask me why? Let me tell you, it's because I can crush you all with one hand."
After saying that, Qi An clenched his raised hand tightly, his five fingers snapping shut.
With her movements, bang... bang... bang... the sound of flesh and blood exploding in the air rang out continuously.
The mutants in the air were like water balloons that suddenly exploded, their blood and flesh splattering all over the people below.
"ah……"
They were terrified by the bizarre scene, and screams filled the air.
The contempt and indifference in their eyes when they looked at Qi An were gone, replaced by deep fear.
This is not a human, it's a devil.
The screams ceased, and the crowd fell silent, their necks drooping stiffly, as if afraid of being noticed by the devil and turning into fireworks in the sky.
Qi An nodded in satisfaction.
That's exactly the effect she wanted. To deal with these people, you have to instill fear in them so they will submit.
Ata had previously asked her how to restore order to the post-apocalyptic world, and Qi An countered with, "Do you know how I subdued the demon race and became the Demon King?"
One word: kill.
Kill everyone who blocks your path or objects to your dissent, and you'll become the rule-maker, with all the order determined by you.
If you point at a lion and say it's a tiger, the people below will nod and say that the tiger is really majestic.
Power is always accompanied by fear, and it can be said that it is forged through bloodshed.
In peacetime, why do most people not dare to kill? Is it because they are kind and loving?
No, it's because I'm afraid of being punished, afraid of going to jail and being shot.
What establishes order? It is reverence!
Behind love and peace lies fear and submission to power.
Qi An clapped his hands and adopted a more relaxed tone: "Alright, I noticed the atmosphere was a bit dull just now, so let's have a performance to lighten the mood. Did everyone think the performance was great?"
Everyone: "..."
I dare not answer, I absolutely dare not answer.
If the answer is brilliant, she'll say, "Then let's do another one." If the answer isn't brilliant, she'll say, "Then you perform something even more brilliant." What should I do?
They could only force awkward smiles at Qi An to show their ingratiation.
Qi An asked again with a sincere expression, "Does anyone else have any opinions? You can speak up, I'm a very democratic person."
This question can be answered.
Everyone eagerly took the lead, answering louder and louder than the last.
"No objections, whatever the boss says goes. We trust your abilities."
"What's there to complain about? We'd be more than happy to have you as our boss."
"It is our honor to serve you. If anyone has any objections, I will be the first to disagree."
Another person shouted the slogan, "Our boss has unparalleled divine skills, will unify the world, and will reign supreme for thousands of years."
Qi An: "..."
Why does this word sound so familiar?
Ata, who had watched a lot of dramas, laughed so hard he hiccuped: "Haha, boss, this guy thinks you're Dongfang Bubai."
Qi An said, "Well, it passed unanimously. It seems everyone agrees. But if you knowingly break the rules in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Everyone quickly declared: "No, no, we will be ambassadors of love and peace from now on."
Aotian Base was thus taken over by Qi An, who even changed its name.
"Let's call him Dongfang Bubai," Qi An decided.
Li Aotian and his fellow inmates were tied to the flagpole in the square, exposed to the cold wind, scorching sun, rain, and snow, serving as a stark reminder of the consequences of disobeying the people in the base.
They longed for liberation every moment, wishing to die as soon as possible; never before had they hated being mutants as much as they did now.
Because they don't need to eat or drink, and they don't know hot or cold, they can hang here for their entire lives and never die. They can only suffer like this, neither human nor ghost.
They wanted to beg Qi An to kill them, but because they had lost their tongues, they could not speak and could only plead with sobs.
Qi An smiled: "I haven't had enough fun yet. What am I supposed to do if you all die?"
They still felt too comfortable. Qi An moved his hand, and they became hungry, in pain, cold, and hot, but they never died.
Enjoy it.
Qi An walked away humming a song.
Having successfully taken down the most challenging base, Qi An left his team members to manage it and went to Tomorrow Base alone.
It only took Qi An half a day to subdue Tomorrow's Base.
Tomorrow Base, as the name suggests, is a place where people just want to live well and welcome one tomorrow after another.
The reason they are bullied all the time is because they lack fighting power and food supplies.
So, Qi An first demonstrated his power, which was beyond human comprehension, and then explained his intention to restore normal order.
Finally, she went to the base's fields, sprinkled some water, and a miracle happened.
Everyone watched in disbelief as the seeds in the ground began to sprout, grow, and bear heavy fruit at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than half a day, the once barren land was covered with grains and vegetables, which were large and had a high yield.
People excitedly touched this and smelled that, feeling as if it were a beautiful dream.
After looking for a long time, they saw that the grains and vegetables were still there and continuing to grow. Overjoyed, they wept tears of joy, looking at Qi An as if he were a god.
Have the gods finally appeared to save them?
The little girl, pale and thin, asked the most heartbreaking question in her most innocent voice: "Mommy, will we never go hungry again?"
The woman, though young, already looked weathered. Tears streaming down her face, she smiled and nodded: "Yes, I won't go hungry anymore, and I'll be able to eat my fill every meal."
When the apocalypse came, her daughter was still in her womb and was only born safely thanks to the protection of the Tomorrow Base.
She was born in the apocalypse and has never seen what the normal world is like.
Every time her mother talks about her past life, her face is filled with longing and an unimaginable sense of bewilderment.
They live in big houses that are warm in winter and cool in summer, have plenty of food and warm clothes, don't have to worry about being killed, and can wear beautiful clothes and go to school in a place called school.
Did such a life ever really exist?
As time went on, not only the children, but even she herself began to feel disoriented, thinking that those were beautiful dreams she had created.
But now, she has a feeling that her dream may soon come true.
