After Death, I Became a Superhuman-Chapter 58 – As long as you kneel fast enough
The Lord of Shadows now feels more and more that the so-called Anti-Superman Plan is simply a dead end. The decision to organize this plan was ridiculous from the beginning, and now it seems that all they have done is to accelerate the inevitable process of destruction. If they weren't so eager to court death, others might not have come knocking on their door so soon.
It is said that subordinates are difficult to deal with as soon as the leader opens his mouth. What's even more infuriating is that the people at headquarters, who knows where they are hiding in some corner of a safe house, came up with such a brainless idea, and in the end, it was the subordinates who suffered.
To put it bluntly, this operation is truly a clown show.
To put it in a more intelligent way, the leaders are probably considering a transformation to play the role of Batman's opponent.
"A single rocket hit... wait a minute," the observer's voice gradually became doubtful, "he seems to... catch it barehanded!?"
In fact, there was no need for him to say it. Everyone saw this scene clearly from the base's surveillance.
Facing the rocket coming towards him, Jiang Bei didn't dodge or avoid it. He quickly reached out his right hand and grabbed it. The rocket's tail sprayed flames desperately, but the tremendous thrust seemed to disappear in his hand. His arm didn't even tremble.
He even effortlessly changed the direction of the rocket.
Smoke filled the room as a loud explosion blew open the next wall. Jiang Bei stepped through the rising dust, like the Terminator emerging from a raging fire.
The captain beside the Lord of Shadows was now pale, looking at the Lord of Shadows in disbelief, "Did he... just catch a rocket launcher barehanded?"
"Yeah," the Lord of Shadows nodded, "It seems so."
He appeared quite calm.
This slightly calmed the captain's shocked emotions. The personnel in this base already regarded the Lord of Shadows as a god, and seeing him so calm, with an air of confidence, was comforting. The captain thought to himself, the Lord is truly extraordinary.
Taking another glance at the Water Queen beside him, he saw that she was equally calm, as if she had everything under control. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
Twenty seconds later, the alloy door of the room they were in began to be torn and deformed. With sharp sounds, they were pulled out of the sliding track and fell like two balls of waste paper. Jiang Bei appeared behind the door.
The captain held his gun and retreated to the side, holding his breath. Obviously, the next scene would be a fierce battle between the two leaders of the base and this enemy. Even if the leaders eventually won, it would be a brutal fight...
"Please spare me, boss!"
The Lord of Shadows pounced at lightning speed.
The captain: ?
The situation was completely different from what he had expected, causing his mind to short-circuit for a moment.
Did the Lord... kneel?
What does this mean?
He immediately thought that the Lord's thoughts were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them. Could this also be part of the tactics?
Looking at the Water Queen beside him...
...Wow, when did the Water Queen become so wet!?
It seemed that the Water Queen had soaked herself with her ability, her already light clothing sticking to her body, outlining her graceful and full curves.
The captain's eyes were fixed, he had never dared to look the Water Queen in the eye before, completely unaware of how broad-minded she was. Combined with this wet and tempting appearance, he couldn't move his eyes away.
And she even deliberately opened her collar, twisting her flawless curves, her seductive eyes seemed to shoot out electricity, making people's bodies tingle and their blood rush.
The captain was not only enjoying the sight, but also deeply shocked.
No, is this still the Water Queen he knows?
That lofty Ice Queen who always had a cold and stern face?
And the Lord of Shadows, who was kneeling on the ground, saw this scene and couldn't help but curse in his heart, cursing his teammate for not playing fair and using such a despicable trick to steal the limelight.
Damn it, isn't tolerance a virtue? So what?
The Water Queen's seductive eyes moved, swaying her slender waist as she walked away. The Superman on the opposite side thought for a moment, slowly raised his hand, and reached towards her head. The Water Queen obediently lowered her head like a well-behaved cat, longing for her owner's touch.
The Lord of Shadows knew that she was probably still alive, while he was most likely finished.
He even somewhat sadly imagined whether Superman might be interested in men. He thought his physique was still passable...
But it wasn't the head pat he had imagined.
Jiang Bei reached out his hand, but stopped in front of the Water Queen's white forehead, flicking his middle finger.
A crisp sound of a cracked skull.
The Water Queen's head tilted back, and with a flick of his finger, her whole body flew backwards and embedded into the wall, her beautiful figure stuck in the human-shaped hole, unable to be pulled out.
The astonishing finger strength left the captain beside her dumbfounded, feeling that even the long-lost martial art of Eagle Claw Fist was probably nothing compared to this.
If it weren't for the Extraordinary Being, this finger would have probably blown her head off.
Jiang Bei remained calm.
Who are you trying to fool with this wet appearance? If I want to see it, I will naturally look at it myself. Is it worth your effort to create all these unnecessary things?
Besides, he also knew that this kind of woman couldn't be trusted.
After all... the fox has three burrows.
And Xiao Qi is still watching, there definitely can't be any inappropriate content.
The Lord of Shadows trembled all over, already lying on the ground like a salted fish. On the other hand, the captain gradually regained his senses and his gaze became resolute.
He raised his gun and aimed it at Jiang Bei, shouting, "Eternal Electronic Wizard..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Lord of Shadows, who was lying next to him, suddenly jumped up and slapped him, knocking him out.
"Crazy person! What are you risking your life for a few hundred bucks a month?"
The Lord of Shadows cursed loudly, then immediately knelt back down on the ground, with a smile on his face.
"Boss, no need for you to take action, I have already taken care of it, haha..."
Jiang Bei: ...
...
...
Sky Eye Association, Department of Security.Mr. Lou sat behind his desk, leaning back in his chair and yawning widely. His sleepy appearance was like someone who had just crawled out of bed.
"Here are the minutes of your meeting, sir."
Tang Wen placed a document on the desk in front of him.
Mr. Lou squinted his nearly closed eyes: "Again? I just finished memorizing a set of minutes on the car ride back from the airport!"
"Oh, is that so?" Tang Wen said, "Then what was the content of those minutes?"
Mr. Lou was momentarily speechless. After a few seconds, he said: "Uh... improve efficiency, ensure community safety... things like that..."
Tang Wen smiled: "I'm sure those were included, sir."
Mr. Lou awkwardly sat up and obediently picked up the minutes on the desk and began to flip through them.
As he flipped, he couldn't help but ask: "I heard there's a new plan for a sequence laboratory on the agenda, which involves a large investment... Do we really need to spend so much money on this?"
"Of course. Guiding and stimulating sequence advancement is our eternal core goal." Tang Wen said.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.
"But won't it... be too expensive? After all, so far, progress has been very limited, hasn't it?" Mr. Lou frowned, "I mean, after so much research, I heard that only a very small number of Extraordinary Beings have successfully been guided to advance... and it was later confirmed that they were people who originally had that potential. All the experiment did was slightly speed up the process."
"Yes, from the current stage, the cost-effectiveness of investment and return is indeed not very high. But even so, we have to do it, because there is no other choice." Tang Wen shrugged, "Because if one day the means to advance to sequence A or even a higher level is really discovered, we certainly don't want this technology to appear in the hands of the enemy first, right?"
Mr. Lou thought for a moment.
"That seems to be the case." He propped his chin, "It seems that this unjust money must be spent. If an extreme madman like the Electronic Wizard gets hold of this technology first..."
"Or other continents, other regions." Tang Wen said.
Mr. Lou nodded: "Yes, or other continents, other..."
Then he realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute, other continents? Aren't we supposed to be in the same federation? Aren't we all on the same side?"
Tang Wen laughed.
"Currently, yes." He said, "But before the federation was established, everyone was fighting each other, squabbling for centuries."
"Uh... okay."
Mr. Lou rubbed his temples and put down the document in his hand.
He felt a bit overwhelmed.
The office door opened, and Li Xiao'an poked his head in hurriedly: "Chief! Outside... you guys need to come see this?"
"What's going on?"
Tang Wen frowned. Mr. Lou also got up in confusion, and the two of them followed Li Xiao'an quickly outside.
Then they saw this scene.
Superman was carrying a huge iron box - it looked like a whole room forcibly ripped out from a military-grade base, as if he was carrying a huge space capsule - flying towards their Sky Eye base.
He landed on the ground, put down the alloy-sealed room, and pulled open the door.
The room was packed with personnel from the Electronic Wizard, from the leading Shadow Lord and Watercolor Queen, to the low-ranking lackeys, all lined up neatly, hands on their heads, lying in the room, not daring to move.
Jiang Bei opened the door and cleared his throat.
The Shadow Lord quickly spoke: "We are members of the local branch of the Electronic Wizard, heinous and extremely evil terrorists!"
The Watercolor Queen added: "We two are the ringleaders!"
"That's right, just us two!" The Shadow Lord nodded repeatedly with a mournful face.
Sky Eye agents: "?"
"Um, that's about it."
Jiang Bei glanced at the treasury value in his field of vision, which was starting to jump up again, and couldn't help but smile slightly, waving his hand.
"Everyone's busy."
After saying that, he rose into the air and disappeared into the sky.
Mr. Lou and Tang Wen looked in the direction where he disappeared, and then at the... not so safe safe house he had left on the ground, falling into a strange silence for a moment.
After a while, Mr. Lou spoke.
"You're right." He said, "We should increase our research efforts on sequence advancement."
