"Aaaaah! I'll fight you to the death! Give us back those devices...give them back to us!"
The old man sprang to his feet, freeing himself from the two men's support, and ran over in two strides, punching and kicking the mecha while cursing incessantly.
……………………………………………
"This old fellow truly lives up to his reputation as the most temperamental and scientifically obsessed academician in this particle research institute. Meeting him today, he is indeed extraordinary."
Mo Ran stared speechlessly at the images transmitted from the mecha, then, as if she had discovered something, turned her gaze toward a direction within the military base.
...
"This...isn't that Academician Yang Tian? He's still alive!"
"Yes! I heard that he disappeared after the particle research institute fell, I never expected him to be here alive!"
The group of high-ranking officials who rushed over were immediately shocked by the scene before them, but someone quickly recognized who the old man who was punching and kicking was.
Two soldiers immediately stepped forward and pulled Yang Tian, who was being punched and kicked, away.
"Let me go! I'm going to settle this score with this beast! I'm going to beat him to death!"
"Yang... Yang Tian, it really is you, you're still alive!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yang Tian was startled. He turned around and saw an old man walking quickly toward him.
"Old Liu, is that you?"
Old Liu quickly stepped forward and gave Yang Tian a big hug, which disgusted Yang Tian so much that he pushed him away.
"Get out! What do you think you're doing? Two old men acting all lovey-dovey here, how disgusting!"
Even so, Yang Tian's face was still beaming with joy.
"Comrade Yang Tian, we are glad you are still alive. We don't know what happened to make you so angry. Could you tell us in detail?"
As one of the higher-ups spoke, his gaze swept past Yang Tian and fell upon the mecha behind him, and he immediately understood the situation.
"This is what happened...!"
Yang Tian, like a student who had been bullied and was complaining to the teacher, recounted everything in detail, including all the grievances he had suffered.
Upon hearing what Yang Tian said, the group of executives exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.
"So that's how it is, Comrade Yang Tian. We apologize to you for not having the personnel to carry out a rescue immediately, which caused you to be trapped inside for so long."
"At the same time, I need to tell you something: our world is no longer what it used to be. Our equipment has been affected, resulting in..."
As everyone was talking, the mecha began to move, slowly walking in one direction.
...
"Wh...what! Technology...our technology has been destroyed...how could this happen?"
"I... I thought the panel I saw was just a hallucination caused by staying inside for too long, but I didn't expect it to be real!"
After listening to what the high-ranking officials had to say, Yang Tian felt as if the sky had collapsed. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but fortunately, the soldiers next to him caught him in time.
"So those cutting-edge devices are basically just a pile of scrap metal, so it wouldn't really matter if he took them."
"Comrade Yang Tian, you've been through so much, I'm afraid your body can't take it. You should go down and rest for a while. We'll arrange a room for you."
Yang Tian and several other researchers, led by several soldiers, went into the base.
"Comrade Yang Tian, the particle research institute you are in is outside of Shanghai, which means that person has gone outside the city."
"After several days of reconnaissance by the soldiers, the entire city of Shanghai has been surrounded by countless monsters, and there is no way out."
"For that person to be able to leave the city under such conditions, he must either possess certain skills or be extremely powerful."
"Let's go talk to him. That mech should be able to contact him."
After discussing it, the group began to walk towards the direction where the mech was located.
...
Under Mo Ran's control, the mecha arrived at the open space in front of the base's hangar.
At this moment, many fighter jets, numerous infantry fighting vehicles, and countless weapons were placed on the open ground.
A superhuman with the ability to create things is currently modifying these fighter jets and weapons.
Seeing the giant mech slowly approaching, everyone was terrified and quickly dropped what they were doing to get away from the area.
The soldiers standing guard around the area were also tense, all staring intently at the mecha, afraid that it might suddenly do something bad.
"Is this the fifth-generation fighter jet developed by China? The specs look really good, and the appearance is very imposing and cool. We could ask them for some."
"The new skill I acquired is quite interesting. By the way, I can start using the (S)-level skill now."
Mo Ran glanced at the ability panel out of the corner of her eye, where her new skills were being displayed.
