Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 959 - 385: Citywide Chaos (10,000) (Part 3)
Fortunately, he was protected by an interstellar-level nano-power armor, and in the end, Lu Xingchen held back his strength. Qin Feng wasn’t seriously injured, but he fell into a coma, his eyes rolling back due to a mental disturbance, foaming at the mouth and convulsing. This wretched appearance was a far cry from the confident person who had previously passionately declared his intent to challenge the Twelve Star Lords and the Four Heavenly Kings at the recruitment meeting.
Seeing this scene, Li Jian’s face turned ashen. He immediately turned around and charged at the descending Lu Xingchen with anger.
"You cheated! What happened to Captain Qin’s drones?!"
"Hey, are you even being reasonable?" At this point, KIKI, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, stepped out, his face full of disdain, and said, "Not even everyone else can use power armor, and we haven’t even mentioned how you’ve been using so many pre-made drones as weapons. Now you say we cheated just because you lost. Everyone saw the duel; if you lose, you lose. Can’t you show a little dignity?"
KIKI’s words were not only a criticism but a moral strike as well. The recruitment battle rules required others not to use weapons in combat, but since Qin Feng had a mechanical superpower, most people on the scene tacitly accepted his use of drones and battle armor as part of his tactics, without considering the inherent unfairness of the fight.
If you prepared 10,000 drones or a robot army in advance, how could that prove a test of superpower strength?
KIKI’s point made several people realize—if Qin Feng fought with pre-made drones, so be it. Now that he lost, can he not accept it?
Li Jian, upon hearing this, became infuriated. He glared at KIKI, finally realizing,
"Oh, I know it was you! You’re the Mechanical Superpower User! Hand over our drones!"
"Tch, who would want your drones?" KIKI, the typical troublemaker, put her hands on her hips in a feisty pose and began to curse, "A loss is a loss. In such critical times, a team’s captain doesn’t need to be the best fighter; what’s important is the ability to lead the team to survive. The things mechanical superpowers can do are numerous—manufacturing weapons and ammo, modifying convoy defenses, expanding creation space, making tools for farming and breeding, even building shelters, vehicles, flying devices, and starships. These are all significant potentials. You may not fight better than a fire superpower, but at least show some respect for your teammates. Is this how you treat us new team members?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the thousands already recruited into the Unlimited Fleet burst into uproar, while the onlookers became rowdy, with all sorts of discussions, ridicule, and commentary, making the recruited team members feel very embarrassed. Their ’captain’ was now being carried away, charred, and the judge hosting the recruitment meeting was still at odds with the team’s core members. This awkward atmosphere made many start to consider retiring, and many felt this recruitment meeting might fail, so some began to leave the team.
"You!" Li Jian’s face turned black; he felt the situation was about to spiral out of control. In his earpiece, Wen Dong was shouting at him, "Stabilize the situation, arrange sub-teams and accommodations, and bring everyone to the outpost!"
Li Jian’s gaze shifted continuously, sweeping over KIKI and Lu Xingchen; his expression quickly softened, saying, "Fire power is indeed formidable, with high attack power, and superpower battles are inherently uncertain. But our goal is the Abnormal Body, and Miss Chen is right. As a Mechanical Superpower User, you should know best; mechanical superpowers hold the greatest potential in functionality and support. As a Civilization Creation level superpower, there’s much room for development. I believe if we unite, we can definitely create miracles!"
KIKI squinted and smiled, then gestured towards Qin Feng, who was being carried away in the back: "How about we wait for the captain to wake up before making decisions? With so many watching, everyone might feel this Fire superpower user is more fit to be captain?"
Lu Xingchen folded his hands behind his back and nodded in agreement, "I, no objection."
In an instant, everyone’s expression changed, and they all looked at Lu Xingchen. The spectacle of the Fire God descending had indeed attracted many fans, causing a frenzy online. Lu Xingchen’s fame rose sharply, quickly entering the ranks of well-known experts despite not being in the Evolution Light rankings.
Hearing these words, Li Jian’s face looked horrible. Even an idiot could see these people were here to make trouble. But he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, and had to ask Wen Dong for help.
"It’s bad; these two are here to cause trouble, and the scene is getting out of control."
Just as he finished speaking, Wu Bin, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, suddenly turned coldly and left the team.
"King Wu, where are you going!!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
A recruitment officer shouted anxiously, but Wu Bin left the square in silence, clearly not planning to return.
At this moment, Lu Xingchen and KIKI exchanged a glance and followed Lin Xian’s arrangement, also leaving the square...
Three of the Four Heavenly Kings left at once, and seeing this, Li Jian was dumbfounded. With these big names leaving, the square erupted in an uproar, and many newly joined members also left.
"That’s it. They’ve fallen apart before recruitment is even complete. This alliance is probably doomed..." Someone gloated.
