Chapter 436 Prepare to Die
From the very beginning, the system intended to use these people as cannon fodder.
He remained cold and unmoved. "Can you buy what I gave you elsewhere? Besides, the price I gave you was quite low. I've already given you the benefits. My only request is that you kill Meng Shiwan. Whether you can kill her or not is a matter of your ability. What does it have to do with me?"
"You..." The base commander's temples throbbed with anger, but he couldn't really break ties with the system in front of him.
He could only suppress his anger and said, "You know Meng Shiwan's abilities. She's already at level nine. How are we supposed to kill her? I think we should bind ourselves first, grant me the ability to replicate, and once I reach level nine, I will definitely help you kill Meng Shiwan."
Anyway, as you said before, we'd have to be bound together sooner or later, so why don't we bind ourselves sooner? Improving my strength will also benefit you.
His plan was meticulously crafted, but the system wasn't buying it at all. "You're dreaming. If you can kill her, then kill her. If you can't, I'll find someone else to kill her. Whoever kills Meng Shiwan, I'll bind to them."
Ever since the system was tricked by a few humans, it no longer trusts humans at all.
The system had no intention of binding itself to humans again. It was now paranoid and distrustful of everyone. It only wanted to kill Meng Shiwan to avenge itself before finding another way to collect the crystal cores.
Upon hearing this, the base commander, fearing the system would escape and his dream of becoming the master of humanity would be shattered, had no choice but to accept his fate.
"Alright, I'll think of another way. No matter how powerful Meng Shiwan is, she's still human. I refuse to believe I can't kill her."
Just then, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
The sudden explosion in the quiet room created a tense and urgent atmosphere.
The base commander answered the phone, his face instantly turning deathly pale. "What! The warehouse was robbed? What do you mean by 'the warehouse was robbed'? The warehouse is heavily guarded, how could it have been robbed?"
A more urgent voice came from the other end of the phone, "The supernatural ability monitoring device detected supernatural fluctuations inside the warehouse, but disappeared without pinpointing the exact location of the fluctuations."
All the supplies in the warehouse also disappeared along with it, likely the work of a spatial ability user. However, this user is very powerful; our instruments can only detect the energy fluctuations, but cannot lock onto the target.
The base commander's heart pounded. "How much has been stolen?"
"The supplies in warehouses one, two, and three have all been stolen. Now, a supernatural energy fluctuation has been detected in warehouse four... No, the supplies in warehouse four have already been stolen, and they are heading to warehouse five..."
Warehouse No. 5 was robbed...
Warehouse No. 6 was robbed...
...
Warehouse number ten was robbed... everything, everything is gone.
In just a few seconds, all the supplies in their ten warehouses were stolen.
The base commander slumped into his chair with a thud, his eyes vacant, feeling as if the sky had fallen.
These ten warehouses contain all the supplies for their island base—food, fuel, medical supplies, weapons, and so on—and are the foundation of this base.
The theft of supplies meant they had nothing left to rely on, and even the people in the base would go hungry.
"How could this happen? Who did this?"
The ability to empty ten warehouses in just a few seconds indicates that the storage capacity and the level of the superpower must be considerable.
The system stood up first, muttering, "Meng Shiwan is here?"
The system's first reaction was to run. Its energy had not fully recovered yet, and it was not the time to confront Meng Shiwan.
"Meng Shiwan!" the base commander screamed. He wanted to say something more, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to speak again.
Suddenly, the wall beside them collapsed, revealing a huge, curved, smooth metal wall in front of them.
Judging from the extent of the building's collapse, the metal wall appears to be enormous, piercing straight through.
The assistant curiously stepped forward and touched it, then his lips trembled with fear. "This...this...this...this...this is the latest type of nuclear weapon! The outer casing is made of this metal..."
"My God!" The base commander panicked and tried to run away.
But he knew very well that under the attack of this weapon, it would be useless to run anywhere; there was no way to dodge it.
He lunged at the system as if grasping at a straw, crying out, "Help me!"
The system didn't even glance at him before disappearing on the spot and running away.
The next second, the nuclear bomb exploded, creating a huge crater on the entire island. A mushroom cloud rose from the sea, the ice and snow melted, seawater flooded in, and the island completely disappeared from the map.
Meng Shiwan stood far away in mid-air, watching the huge mushroom cloud slowly rise and dissipate. She watched indifferently until a spatial fluctuation spread around her.
She quickly located the position, "Found you."
Meng Shiwan's figure flashed, and the metal block arm swung towards a space, smashing into the space's fluctuations and forcefully knocking out the figure inside.
The system's image flickered, and it said resentfully, "Why are you holding me back? Have you forgotten? Everything you have is thanks to me, you ungrateful bastard."
Meng Shiwan scoffed, "Don't give me this nonsense. Aren't you going to keep bothering me? What are you doing in Japan? Just because you like it here?"
Furthermore, you are still relentlessly releasing invading energy into this world, destroying it into its current state, and now you want to talk to me about gratitude?
The system said fiercely, "Don't worry about what this world is like. Look at yourself first. You've become so powerful, and you're the base leader whom everyone hopes for. What more could you want?"
Meng Shiwan looked at him as if he were an idiot. "Are you out of your mind? Have you ever seen anyone who would willingly become a king among beggars? What use is it for me to rule this broken-down world?"
system:……
That makes some sense.
Meng Shiwan lunged forward and, taking advantage of the system's momentary lapse in attention, punched its metal head, sending it flying into the spatial rift behind it. Meng Shiwan then followed closely behind and entered the rift.
When they reappeared, they were already above the Dawn Base.
Meng Shiwan continued her offensive relentlessly, giving the system no chance to breathe. "You said that the farm is my spatial domain. Fighting here will increase my strength by fifty percent and decrease the enemy's strength by fifty percent."
The system snorted coldly, dodging Meng Shiwan's attack. "You're overthinking it. I created this place, and my strength won't be reduced."
Meng Shiwan laughed, "My strength boost is real and substantial. Today, you'll die right here."
"You're the one who's going to die? You're the one who's going to die!"
The system dodged Meng Shiwan's attack and arrived above the zombie horde. It slowly spread its arms, and the zombie horde below, which had been roaring and attacking, suddenly stopped and looked up at the system.
Immediately afterwards, countless zombie skulls shattered, and their crystal cores rapidly rose into the air, converging towards the system.
