Qing Wentao stared in disbelief at the butler behind him, who was holding a large pair of scissors.
This is the manifestation of the butler's superpower. As a high-level superpower user, and also of the metal element, as long as he has anything of the metal element on him, such as the iron stone he always holds in his hand, and the iron chain necklace around his neck, which looks thin, can be melted into a very sharp weapon.
When these two are combined, the butler's weapon is directly transformed into his most proficient weapon: iron shears.
This is the weapon he has always used, sharp and versatile when killing enemies.
The butler now wore a cold expression, and his eyes no longer held the fawning look he had when speaking to Qing Wentao.
His expression was ruthless, and he said in a rough voice, "Sorry, boss."
After saying that, he pulled out the scissors. The giant scissors condensed into an iron ball, which he held in his hand. One part of the ball then condensed into a necklace about the thickness of a little finger.
When he was with Qing Mingxiu, he always kept the necklace in his pocket and never dared to take it out. The iron ball could only be kept in his room. Now he carries it in his hand all day, or keeps it within easy reach.
This would make it convenient for him to combine his preferred weapons at any time.
Before Qing Wentao could even question anyone, he collapsed, blood gushing from his body and bright red liquid still flowing from the gruesome blood hole.
The high-level superhumans behind him all looked at the butler in shock. Just a moment ago, he was smiling and enjoying family time with them, but now they were facing off against each other.
They even killed their former boss in such a cruel way.
Qing Li only showed a slight surprise at the moment Qing Wentao was killed, but it was fleeting and almost impossible to discern anything.
His indifferent gaze swept over the butler.
When the butler met his gaze, his straight back slumped slightly, and he smiled obsequiously, saying, "Chief, this is my pledge of loyalty. I killed the man, and I will bear any blame for what happened. My special ability is currently at the mid-high level, which may be of some small use to your future endeavors. Please spare my life for now."
He knew he couldn't ask for too much at this moment. Qing Wentao was a fool, but he wasn't. In front of all the bases, this man had never relied on intelligence to manage the entire base.
In the early days of the apocalypse, his strength surpassed that of all other superhumans. Not to mention that so many years have passed and there are now many high-level superhumans, but this one is not only at the high level, but may be at an even deeper level. Not to mention the strongest one, Captain Ye Shang.
The butler always knew how to make choices. He put his own greatest value before him, only asking for a meager life.
At that moment, Ye Shang's voice came from behind.
"But I don't think you'll get out of here alive."
The butler watched Ye Shang slowly walk forward, and sweat began to pour from his forehead.
The daytime temperature was over 40 degrees Celsius, and everyone was dressed lightly, yet they inexplicably felt a chill.
The butler, who was already hunched over, bent even lower.
"Captain Ye, you should be able to see my strength. I know that war will break out soon. The abilities of a high-level superhuman are enough to make him a decent cannon fodder on the battlefield."
That's right, he saw himself as cannon fodder. As long as he could survive now, he could work hard to earn military credits during the war and maybe turn the tide.
Ye Shang looked at him with a half-smile, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, then you can report to Qin Wu's side."
Qin Wu always treated his teammates and brothers with a cheerful demeanor, but he was a different person when dealing with enemies, especially the one in front of him who had killed Qing Li's father as a sign of surrender.
Although the butler didn't know much about Qin Wu's role, he guessed that he was a member of the management team in the Fifth Base. It was just a pity that he wasn't assigned to Captain Song Wenwen, whom he had heard about before.
"Thank you, Captain Ye."
The other high-level ability users standing to the side all stared blankly at this scene. The butler had already found a new employer, but what about them?
Someone spoke up at this moment: "Captain Ye, we are also high-level ability users, we are useful too."
Upon hearing this, everyone chimed in, "Yes, leader, we are also high-level ability users, and we are also a fighting force."
Ye Shang's lips curled slightly: "Sure, all of you go and report to Qin Wu, and we'll put you into a group."
Upon hearing this, the high-level ability users instantly cheered, "Thank you, Captain Ye, thank you, leader."
Qingli watched as Ye Shang arranged where everyone would go. He knew Ye Shang's plan when she handed the housekeeper over to Qin Wu.
"Take my father to be buried."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
They were dressed entirely in black, with black masks covering their faces, and the masks showed no sign of anything.
Without saying a word, the two men stepped forward and carried Qing Wentao away.
Qingli looked at the astonishment in everyone's eyes as if she hadn't seen it. "Let's go. Butler, summon the managers of the First Base. We need to have another meeting to sort out the work situation."
Although he and Ye Shang came out without any people, the hidden superhumans who had been following him wouldn't simply disappear just because they weren't there.
This group of people has a special ability: each of them can hide their figure. As long as they don't appear in front of others like this, no one will notice them.
This team consists of 500 people who take turns protecting the people who have been rescued.
Although he himself is very strong and hardly needs any protection, Zhou Yi'an said that this is the rule and also a mark of being the leader of the various bases.
