Wang Yi led his team away from the C49 experintal base.
The mont they were out the main gate, he eagerly used the redemption voucher to redeem the Grizzly Tank.
Seeing the tank, a steel beast with a long cannon, Wang Yi laughed heartily, quite pleased with himself.
"We can finally drive a tank!" Wang Yi showed off to Fish-Transford Dragon. "What do you think of our new weapon?"
Fish-Transford Dragon raised a hand, and the entire Grizzly Tank was lifted into mid-air as if by a giant, invisible hand.
"In my humble opinion, this weapon is nothing special!"
Fish-Transford Dragon said nonchalantly as his palm slowly began to clench.
Wang Yi was terrified and quickly shouted, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop! Don’t break it!"
Fish-Transford Dragon withdrew his hand, and the Grizzly Tank fell to the ground with a CLANG, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Wang Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
’Fish-Transford Dragon almost crushed the Grizzly Tank!’
’This quality inspector is sothing else. He can inspect swords and sabers, and he can inspect tanks, too. If he circulated that Gods and Ghosts Avoidance Inner Strength of his, he could probably just crush the Grizzly Tank out of thin air.’
At this thought, Wang Yi’s joy at obtaining the Grizzly Tank diminished by more than half.
’Whether this thing is powerful or not all depends on the comparison. Compared to Fish-Transford Dragon, it’s not even worth ntioning.’
Wang Yi then redeed Universal Fuel and Universal Cannon Shells, and after fiddling with it for a while, he finally started the Grizzly Tank. After driving it around for two laps, the novelty was completely gone.
It was a serious downgrade. Wang Yi had piloted Prototype No. 1 and ridden a Mobile Storm, so driving a tank felt incredibly awkward. He found the thing to be big, dumb, and clunky, a pain to drive, and firing the cannon even required multiple people, which was a huge hassle.
’Oh well, it’s still a tank. I’ll just have my subordinates drive it in the future.’
Wang Yi muttered to himself, and after climbing out of the Grizzly Tank, he imdiately said to Fish-Transford Dragon, "Fish-Transford Dragon, arrange for the Brocade Guard to go to the little train. Have Man Datou bring it over here. Move everything useful from this place onto the train and load it into the rear cars."
"Understood!"
Fish-Transford Dragon gave a cupped-fist salute and quickly went to make the arrangents.
A mont later, the little train ca chugging over. CHUGGA-CHUGGA. A crowd of Soldiers disembarked and poured into the Divine Suffering Place, once again scavenging, exploring, and moving supplies.
Soon, Soldiers ca out carrying things like tables, chairs, and benches, and bustled about loading them onto the little train.
Most of the items inside the Divine Suffering Place had long since decayed, but the tables, chairs, and benches in the residential area were made of alloy—sturdy, solid, and still usable.
Soon, alloy single beds were also carried out one by one.
Fish-Transford Dragon was even more extre. Displaying his powerful Inner Strength, he basically perford Magical Alchemy, tearing out the alloy walls and floors of the base to take with them. It was a violent demolition, stripping the place to the bone.
Even Wang Yi thought this was a bit excessive.
Waterlon watched the Soldiers bustling about, her eyes wide with astonishnt. She was completely stunned.
Wang Yi ca up to her at this mont and said, "Miss Xigua, I’ve told you before that we co from another world. We are on a long journey here, looking for a way to leave. Now, I sincerely invite you to join us, to explore together, and in the future, return to my territory and live a peaceful and happy life. Are you willing?"
"I..." Waterlon’s expression was complicated. After a three-second pause, she asked, "Why invite ? I-I’m just an ordinary Scavenger."
"You haven’t discovered your own Talent yet, Miss Xigua. Believe , you’re exceptional! Join my team, and I will give you extraordinary power and show you a wider, more beautiful world."
"If you can really take away from this hopeless world..."
Waterlon knelt on one knee before Wang Yi, bowing low. "I, Waterlon the Scavenger, pledge my loyalty to you, My Lord!"
"Good! Rise. We’re a team now. You don’t need to call ’My Lord.’ Just call Boss, like everyone else."
"Yes, Boss!"
"Co on, let’s go get you so supplies."
Having a young, beautiful, and Talented woman join the team put Wang Yi in an excellent mood. He imdiately assigned a Jade Jiaolong to Waterlon and gave her so Hemostatic Pills and Fasting Pills.
’Waterlon was also thrilled. She’d never imagined finding an opportunity like this in the apocalypse. Looking at her Boss and her new companions, she felt as if the end of the world was already starting to fade away.’
About two hours later, every usable item in the C49 experintal base had been completely scavenged. During the process, Wang Yi obtained a book: [Yishan’s Experintal Log].
The log was found by Zhang Lengzi. It was clearly a hidden system item that only Wang Yi could read.
"The laboratory is about to be permanently closed. The official order from the Green Land Alliance’s High Council has been issued. As the director here, I’ve had enough of those foolish council mbers. On what grounds do they deny my research? On what grounds do they decide C49’s fate? I was so close. Just a little more ti, a little more funding, and I could have created it perfectly! I must do sothing. Perhaps it’s ti to contact the people from the Crimson Federation..."
"I’ve secured three months. It’s enough! The funding is ample, and my experint will surely be a perfect success. Based on Xinghai, developed from subject no. 666, I will definitely be able to create you!"
"Is this what they call a ’takeover’? My most perfect creation, my Xinghai, will it be taken over too? I can’t accept this..."
"There’s nothing to be done. The ’advent’ and ’takeover’ are now unstoppable. They will all beco Divine. Xinghai cannot escape either. Humanity is dood..."
"Although everything is now irreversible, I refuse to accept it. I stole Xinghai’s primordial fluid. Since I cannot resist, then I will beco one of Them. I will beco Divine!"
"My body has already begun to mutate. It won’t be long, perhaps tomorrow, I will beco a monster. I might lose my mind, but I can’t worry about that anymore..."
"I’ve sealed the laboratory doors. No one can get out. They were once my colleagues, assistants, and students, but soon they will beco my first batch of nutrients..."
"I killed everyone and gained a mont of clarity, but I failed. I couldn’t enslave them, I couldn’t integrate into the ecology. Although I established a strange life connection with Xinghai, with each of us perating the other, this body ultimately cannot beco Divine..."
"I don’t know if a higher-dinsional existence will descend into my body and take over, but I do know that if, one day in the future, I can rge with the Xinghai that has already beco Divine, I might be able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with gods. At that ti, perhaps I will understand what ’advent’ truly is!"
"If, one day in the future, this body is killed by you, and you happen to find this notebook, then congratulations. You have obtained the opportunity to kill a Divine. This body shares a complex life-connection with Xinghai. When this body dies, Xinghai will be affected. It will be severed from the greater ecosystem. Kill It, and I, too, will find eternal rest..."
"I admit, my cris are unforgivable. But for the sake of truth, I have no regrets. Researcher Yishan, signing off from a state of being neither human nor Divine..."
After Wang Yi finished reading [Yishan’s Experintal Log], his mind raced with theories.
’A Bio-Warrior becoming Divine... it doesn’t seem to be a natural transition. Was there so external force involved? Never mind that for now. Xinghai... is that the grassy plain outside? If so, then the next three days are the perfect opportunity to kill It. A Divine... that’s got to count as a major boss, right? It’ll definitely drop loot when I kill it, won’t it?’
Wang Yi’s heart burned with excitent. Since there was an opportunity, he couldn’t let it go to waste. He made up his mind: he would kill a Divine within three days!
