Chapter 431 Becoming the Master of Humanity?
Deep in the ocean, there is a tiny island with a mountain peak protruding from its top.
This once extremely arrogant island nation suffered multiple natural disasters, resulting in the submergence of a large portion of its territory, leaving only a small piece of land above the sea.
There is a large metal disc on this territory; it is the entrance to the underground base.
The survivors of the island nation now live in underground bases.
At this moment, in the base commander's office in the island nation, sat a middle-aged man. He frowned and kept looking at the documents on the table. Finally, he threw them down hard and leaned back in his chair, looking utterly dejected.
"Is there still no country willing to accept us?"
The assistant standing next to him also shook his head with a solemn expression. "The countries that were on good terms with us before said that they are too busy taking care of themselves to help us. The countries around us had tense relations before the apocalypse and were unwilling to accept us."
This is the biggest problem facing the island nation at present.
Previously, seed bases in China had communicated various natural disasters to countries around the world so that people could make plans and take precautions in advance.
After the extreme cold, there are still endless natural disasters such as glaciers and earthquakes waiting to be dealt with.
Island nations, situated in the ocean, know they cannot withstand future disasters, so their best option is to migrate to the mainland as soon as possible.
But where to relocate became the most important question.
Even in this apocalyptic world, large-scale bases belonging to various countries are still defending their territories.
No one would be so kind as to carve out a piece of their own land for someone else to live in.
Everyone knows the saying that it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away. It's easy to invite him, but difficult to send him away.
As a result, the island nation contacted several countries, but none of them were willing to accept it.
The islanders now feel as if a knife is hanging over their heads, not knowing when it will fall, and they don't know which natural disaster will destroy their base in this deep sea.
The base commander has been trying every day to solve this problem, but so far he hasn't found a single clue.
The assistant thought for a moment and suggested, "Isn't the seed base in China saying they're looking for the system? If we can find clues about the system, we can negotiate with them instead of asking for the method to make the ability enhancement fluid. We should be able to get a place for us to stay."
The base commander rubbed his temples. "The prerequisite is finding the system first. According to the information, this system is a product of a highly advanced civilization and seems quite powerful. Ever since the Seed Base said it would use an ability-enhancing fluid to obtain clues about the system, all countries have been searching for it. But so far, no one has been heard of discovering it."
This is no simple matter, but it offers a glimmer of hope. Currently, various countries are eager for the method to produce ability-enhancing fluids. If we can find the system, we can indeed use it to negotiate with other countries.
"We need to find a system, and we must continue contacting various countries. With the climate so changeable these days, the sooner we move to the mainland, the sooner we can feel at ease."
The assistant nodded. "Yes, I'll go and inquire about the situation again."
He turned and left the office, leaving the base commander alone, sighing and lamenting.
He rubbed his aching head, stood up to get a glass of water, and caught a glimpse of a figure on the sofa in front of him.
The base commander looked up and saw a robot standing next to the sofa, its eyes glowing blue, staring straight at him.
The base commander hesitated for a moment, "I don't think I have any robots in my office, right? Wait a minute..."
He quickly pulled out several documents from the table; the photos on them were exactly the same as the robot.
The base commander looked at the robot, his voice trembling, "System?"
Could this be the system that I've been searching high and low for, only to find it effortlessly, the system that I couldn't find anywhere in the world, and now it's standing right in front of me?
this……
Just as the base commander was filled with alarm, the system's mechanical voice sounded, "You seem to have encountered some problem? It seems you need my help to solve it?"
The base commander was momentarily confused as to how the system had appeared here so unexpectedly. He swallowed hard and cautiously watched the other party.
"Yes, our country is too small and is in great danger in the face of the current natural disaster. We must find a way out."
His gaze was fixed on the other person, and his hand was already quietly placed on the emergency button.
According to the information provided by the seed base, this system seems to be far too powerful.
If you wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of minutes.
The system stretched its body, its voice seemingly playful, "How does the information you have describe me?"
The base commander glanced down at the documents in his hand. He didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he knew one thing: he absolutely couldn't afford to provoke them.
The base commander answered the question seriously, "The higher-ups said that you are from an alien civilization with higher-dimensional technology and powerful abilities. This apocalypse was brought about by you, and only by killing you can this apocalypse end."
The system chuckled softly, "Is that all?"
The base commander nodded. "That's all."
The system said, "It seems they've been hiding a lot of the truth. Do you know Meng Shiwan?"
The base chief thought for a moment, "Of course I know. She owns a farm as her base, which is currently the only place where agricultural production can take place, and her superpowers are also very strong."
The system asked, "Do you want it?"
The base commander was startled. "What?"
What do you mean, "Does he want it?" Of course he wants it; who wouldn't?
If they could own a piece of arable land, that would be their biggest bargaining chip, making it much easier to negotiate with other countries about relocating to the mainland.
The system coaxed, "A vast farm, an absolutely powerful ability to replicate superpowers, an endless supply of ability-enhancing fluids, and even more advanced weapons—do you want to become the master of humanity?"
As the base commander listened to its words, his eyes lit up like light bulbs.
He nodded quickly, "Yes, I really want to."
Who wouldn't want that?
In a post-apocalyptic world, the value of owning a farm goes without saying.
They can also possess that powerful superpower, and they can obtain as much superpower enhancement fluid as they need.
And also, to become the master of humanity?
Is the system trying to make him the ruler of humanity?
He longed for it so much. In the past, due to territorial limitations, the idea of human dominance could only be dreamed of but never realized. He could only follow in the footsteps of the big shots.
Now, can he become the ruler of humanity? That would be wonderful.
His good fortune has arrived.
The system chuckled, "Finally, I've met someone who's somewhat normal. I thought all of you humans were mentally ill."
The people it encountered before, Meng Qingyue and Meng Shiwan, and later Old Master Xiao and Xiao Yuye, were all more peculiar in their thought processes than the last.
They either want to kill it, plunder it, or they simply despise it.
This terrible experience made the system feel that the humans on this planet were particularly annoying.
