Without a moment's hesitation, he waved the cake under Smith's nose and immediately ran away, leaving Smith's angry roar behind him.
At that time, Vera made up her mind that it was better not to visit Smith unless necessary, lest they be arrested and forced to work together.
Nobody expected it, nobody expected it at all, in the end he still couldn't escape his fate.
“Smith, look me in the eyes and answer me, where has our brotherhood gone?”
We've been friends for ages, how can you bear to let me suffer along with you?
Have you forgotten everything from the past?
Inside the office, Vilia questioned Smith, but there wasn't a trace of remorse on the other's face.
"Brotherhood? All those past events? When you deliberately used cake to annoy me, we became strangers."
I'm stuck with these jobs, and you're not getting away with it either! We're going to die together!
Several staff members passing by outside the office heard the commotion inside. Instead of slowing down, they quickened their pace and walked further away.
Superhumans have very strong perception abilities. If they were discovered eating melons at the door, the price they would pay might be suffering together. They were unwilling to enter the hell of overtime work together just for a moment of curiosity.
[And so, your settlement continues to develop rapidly, with the deployment of mental weapons spreading from home guards and outward exploration teams. Some people who had participated in militia training but did not join the home guards also received some of these weapons.]
Yes, your settlement is that well-off now, after all, resources are plentiful, and mental weapons, due to their strength, have much lower maintenance costs than regular weapons.
Meanwhile, with the large-scale awakening of mental armor, the number of extraordinary individuals in the gathering place is also steadily increasing.
More strong individuals mean more high-quality labor, and you can conveniently expand the existing space of your settlements, with new farmland being cultivated and new houses being built.
[You were caught by Smith and Viria on one occasion, and after completing part of the paperwork, you found yourself standing at the management center, the very heart of this community.]
Looking at the crowds below, more and more young new faces walk on the street. Whether they are children or adults, they all have smiles on their faces, filled with anticipation and hope for the future.
A vibrant scene of life, where everything flourishes, is right before our eyes; your gathering place is thriving.
However, the brighter the light, the deeper the shadow. Your actions of joining forces with other settlements to increase development and strengthen their combat capabilities have attracted some ill-intentioned entities.
In a dark cave, a remote area at least ten kilometers away from Evan's settlement number twenty-three, a group of beings clad in black robes gathered.
"Is it confirmed? Is it confirmed to be this place? What caused the changes in those settlements in this area?"
"Yes, although for some reason all of our infiltrators were discovered, the dark passage outside the settlement is our home turf."
By lurking near the group and eavesdropping on their conversations, it can be basically determined that the root cause of these changes in settlements lies in that place not far away.
It seems they've produced a powerful leader, very capable, who has connected all these settlements.
"Have they united? So what? No matter how much humanity struggles, it will never have light, a future, or hope."
It's just a gathering place; let's try our old methods. If that doesn't work, we'll go all out.
