The two sides were on the verge of exchanging insults. The commanders of Bases 2 and 5 were hurling insults at each other from afar. Commander Wu did not feel he was in the wrong, but he could not fight against the powerful. The local bully could not suppress the strongman. He still handed over Ximen Hui's body to humanity as a contribution.
Yes, we changed the resources.
—Actually, there's no point in keeping it, but it's a matter of saving face.
Of course, Base Two will soon realize that it's no use for them to take it away.
The people from Base Two originally came for Simon Hui's status as a Level 3 ability user, but now they could only take back a corpse. Their eyes immediately turned to the three Level 3 ability users who were supposedly personally trained by Wang Hao.
They wanted to take one of them with them, but were politely refused.
They were very disappointed, but with Wang Hao's background and the formidable fighting abilities of Mao Anyan and his two companions, they didn't dare to resort to force.
Mao Qiu and her group stayed at Base No. 5 with a purpose: they wanted all women to take this opportunity to become strong and stand up to live, instead of kneeling down to beg for survival.
They had heard their teacher mention the male-to-female ratio of people with superpowers and the types of superpowers they possessed. As a result, they would observe the teams they encountered each time. If An Yao had superpowers, they could easily identify who was a person with superpowers.
As expected, there are far fewer female superpowered individuals than male superpowered individuals; as the teacher said, the ratio is approximately one to four.
After the second red rain, when they set up camp in Red Bean City and went out for training, they often saw adventure teams from the base, but they rarely saw women. The ratio dropped even further, to about one to ten.
Once inside the base, they discovered that, for some reason, most of the women awakened auxiliary abilities, like An Yao, while enhancement abilities were rarely seen.
Furthermore, taking water-based abilities as an example, due to a lack of proper usage, someone who could be a damage dealer is relegated to a support role. However, this doesn't discriminate based on gender.
Mao Qiu and her companions were highly regarded because of their status as Level 3 ability users, and they had a great deal of freedom of movement. Even so, they were still looked down upon and provoked by male ability users, let alone others.
They witnessed the living conditions of women in the apocalypse, and even though they were prepared or had experienced it before, they couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
They planned to teach these female superhumans, who believed they could only play a supporting role, how to control their powers, and to persuade women who were dependent on others to learn combat skills.
They were initially hesitant about whether or not they could teach them cultivation techniques and body-refining skills, but after learning about the base's operating model, they put their minds at ease.
Body Refinement Techniques can be used to obtain loans—actually, it's more accurate to say they can be used to buy on credit, since no collateral is required and there's no interest; you just need to pay "money" periodically.
Therefore, all that everyone lacks is determination.
As for those stinky men, what business is it of theirs?
They had only been with the base for a short time and were still in the process of awakening all the women, but they had already found like-minded people, those they had met in the adventure team before.
001 was a little worried that they might end up rescuing Chu Rongrong.
On the night that Ximen Hui's body was taken out of the base, Di Xiu sensed the call of the Heavenly Dao while cultivating. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the chaotic ball of light had already appeared in the room.
This trespassing Heavenly Dao, speaking in the same tone as the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood, said, "How about you become my chosen one?"
The Heavenly Dao pondered for two whole days, calculating everyone in the world, and finally concluded that no one was more suitable than the mission taker from the Time and Space Administration.
They can contact each other, communicate, and he understands it. Most importantly, no one is more awesome than him.
Di Xiu and 001 both fell silent.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the light sphere thought he was going to refuse again, and suddenly became anxious: "I will give you a reward."
001 suppressed a laugh, stood in front of Di Xiu, and said seriously, "We don't take on private jobs. If you want to assign tasks to my taskers, you have to find someone in the task department and go through the proper channels. I can help you contact them."
After fooling the Heavenly Dao away, 001 winked at Di Xiu and grinned slyly.
It took about three hours for 001 to receive the official mission.
"How about we save the world?"
Seeing the expectation and urging in his eyes, Di Xiu felt a hint of helplessness and nodded in agreement.
It was something that was supposed to be done anyway.
The next moment, he was blessed with good fortune, and 001 also transmitted the mission details to him, with a clearly marked and quite generous reward.
"What should we do? The root cause is these polluted gases, right? Do you have a solution?"
Di Xiu made a hand seal, and a dark red turbid energy appeared in his palm. The thing, like a leech, burrowed into his body.
"What are you doing? Get it out quickly! How can you just put this stuff into your body like that?" 001 hurriedly looked at his hand, her eyes flashing blue as she scanned it from top to bottom, but she couldn't find the turbid energy.
001 scanned it again, then asked blankly, "Where is that thing?"
"Wuji swallowed it."
001: "???"
The Heavenly Dao, who had been eavesdropping the whole time: "!!!"
Di Xiu reached out and ruffled his hair, his brow furrowing slightly before forcing it to relax, revealing a rare look of embarrassment: "Weren't you always curious why I, with Wuji, still lost to Ming Wuqiu?"
"Hmm, so why?" 001 couldn't suppress her curiosity when he brought it up.
He was just looking for a host, not to do a mission. He didn't have that world's timeline. He only managed to get a few words out of Emperor Xiu when they were in prison together. He knew that the Demon Lord was called Ming Wuqiu and that he seemed to have received the inheritance of some demon god. He also had a trash sword called the God-Slaying Sword that could only kill immortals and not gods.
As for the claim that the god cannot be defeated? The true form of the God of War, still harboring rebellion within his seal even after being stabbed in the heart, is right here.
"At that time, Wuji was in a deep slumber digesting the excessive demonic energy it had absorbed. Without the blessing of the sword spirit, Wuji's power was less than two or three times its original strength."
In addition, he was lured into a trap, betrayed due to carelessness, and poisoned by a demon... In short, he lost four parts intelligence and was outmaneuvered six parts, which led to his downfall.
But let's leave those aside; Emperor Xiu still has some image to maintain.
001 looked at his dantian with a speechless expression and said dryly, "He ate too much... and he still hasn't finished digesting?"
"It was digested the night before."
001 opened his mouth, rolled his eyes at the sky, and stammered, "Wasn't it the night before last..."
He was a little worried: "If the Heavenly Dao hears about this, won't it feel like it's been tricked and come after us?"
Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, striking the roof of their building.
Very good, Heaven has heard you.
001 wasn't sure if he had misheard, but it sounded like the clash of swords was mixed in with the thunder?
However, Heaven didn't dare to actually strike Emperor Xiu on the head. It didn't even break through the rooftop. It made a lot of noise but little action, venting its anger on the zombies below the apartment building.
The Heavenly Dao wanted to strike the one hanging on the balcony of Emperor Xiu's room, but Emperor Xiu stopped it.
For a moment, Cai Wenbin wanted to thank him, but the next second the beast said, "I still have a use for him, don't kill him."
"Awoooo ...
Heaven understands all languages under its jurisdiction, and immediately slapped Cai Wenbin across the face, forcing him to reorganize his words.
