Chapter 106
“Martin Luther Bolshevik Bai-ge.”
“Contact EHPBC!” “Cut the signal!” “Cut the signal!!”
…
All major broadcasting companies were in chaos. Most pro-human media managed to cut and switch the broadcast in time, but some media groups controlled by extreme evolutionists did not respond promptly to the International Supervision General Administration’s order.
In front of the news screen, Bai Sheng squinted his eyes, his pupils reflecting Rong Qi’s leisurely sitting posture.
“I come from a distant extraterrestrial civilization. The Evolution Source once elevated our intelligence level in the cosmic jungle to new heights. Five years ago, I brought the Evolution Source to Earth, hoping to find our new kind among Earth’s life forms.”
“This is a gift from an extraterrestrial civilization to humanity.”
Rong Qi gently closed his fingers, and the meteorite instantly turned into a dense fluid, dissolving in his palm.
At the same time, the unique blue glow of the Evolution Source flashed from his entire body and disappeared into his veins in an instant.
— That was a sign that the energy of the meteorite had been completely absorbed by his body.
Although he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Bai Sheng knew that at this moment, countless humans and evolutionists in front of TV screens worldwide were staring in disbelief.
“Based on a comprehensive analysis of the human genome, there should be at least 100 million evolutionists on Earth. However, due to strict control and high-pressure tactics by various governments, the Evolution Source, which should have benefited the entire globe, is only in the hands of a few. As a result, the number of evolved humans is less than 1.3 million.”
“This is nonsense!”
“You’ve ulterior motives!”
“Is he inciting extremist evolutionist organizations to continue attacking meteorite bases in various countries?!”
…
Officials behind him were discussing, and Cameron, sitting at the head of the large conference table, holding an uncut satellite phone, remained expressionless, only his pupils showed a stormy gloom.
“As you can see, the Evolution Source is part of my ability. I can enable ordinary people to evolve and give low-level evolutionists a chance for secondary advancement. I hope that one day the Evolution Source will benefit the entire world, and all our kind will have A-class to S-class powers.”
“No hostility, no conflict; the strong will lead the species to continue advancing in the cosmic jungle.”
Rong Qi leaned back into the armchair, his hands naturally folded on his lap, smiling at the billions of viewers behind the screen.
He did not deliver any passionate speech, nor did he say anything more; his tone was calm and peaceful:
“—Those who want to find me will naturally know how to follow.”
The screen went dark, followed by static filling the TV screen.
In just a few minutes, the video was like a spark silently falling into the boiling oil pan of global affairs.
Immediately, countless humans and evolutionists exploded.
“The number of people who should have evolved is one hundred million” and “low-level evolutionists getting a secondary advancement” – these two bombshells were enough to let desire consume reason, driving people of different races and stances into madness. Internet data swelled to the point of explosion in an instant.
In the living room, Bai Sheng slowly pressed the pause button on the remote control.
“There’s another urgent situation,” Cameron’s deep voice came from the phone.
“News came from EHPBC a few hours ago, and it’s not yet possible to determine if it’s related to Rong Qi’s public speech. A meteorite storage base in Egypt was attacked by armed forces. They have taken high-ranking officials hostage and have breached the base, demanding the government provide the final password to release the Evolution Source over North Africa.”
“Due to the complex local political situation, Chief Supervisor Amatullah cannot take action on her own and has requested assistance from the International Supervision General Administration, hoping to send powerful evolutionists to help suppress the situation.”
Bai Sheng turned his head and exchanged a glance with Shen Zhuo.
Cameron’s meaning was clear, but Bai Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying, “…I can’t take Shen Zhuo to the armed conflict site. He is Rong Qi’s primary target. It’s too dangerous.”
Cameron said, “Don’t worry about that. EHPBC has set up a temporary command post 500 kilometers away from the incident site. Supervisor Shen will assist in directing the suppression operation from there, and after the operation, you will escort him back to Shenhai.”
This arrangement was quite appropriate. Bai Sheng signaled to Shen Zhuo with his eyes, and the latter nodded silently.
“Okay.” Bai Sheng suddenly remembered something and casually asked, “What’s the background of this extremist organization this time?”
“Oh, it’s the Round Table, the one that’s been most rampant lately.”
Bai Sheng: “…”
Bai Sheng felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, his mind overwhelmed with expletives, and he glanced nervously at Shen Zhuo.
Fortunately, Shen Zhuo didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. He was looking down, contacting the Shenhai Supervision Office, his expression unchanged.
“On behalf of the United Nations EHPBC Council, I extend the highest respect and gratitude for your contribution to Earth’s peace.” Cameron once again put on that impeccable friendly fake smile: “Proud of you, dear brother-in-law.”
With a click, Cameron hung up the phone, as if spending another second would deplete his already precarious sanity.
Bai Sheng’s sanity was also on the brink. He coughed awkwardly and turned to Shen Zhuo as if nothing had happened:
“Didn’t they say before that the Round Table was a moderate organization? How did they start engaging in extreme violence? Unbelievable, haha…”
Shen Zhuo glanced at him and smiled slightly:
“Yeah, so what kind of people would join the Round Table? They must be muscleheads with brains full of brawn.”
“…” Bai Sheng firmly said, “Only idiots would go!”
Outside the window in the distance, a car from the supervision office sped into the community, coming to take them to the military airport to prepare for departure.
Shen Zhuo put down his phone, looked at the sky, where clouds were beginning to roll in the evening, and exhaled silently.
Rong Qi’s few minutes of global public speech, even if immediately banned, could not stop the overwhelming waves on the Internet. Extremist organizations around the world would quickly rally to him, bringing millions of humans dreaming of evolution, becoming a continuous new force for Rong Qi.
“…We must eliminate him at all costs,” Shen Zhuo muttered, “Otherwise, chaos will ensue soon.”
·
The largest meteorite storage base in North Africa is located in the Delta Desert, established within a heavily guarded military base. In the deepest lead-sealed high-pressure warehouse lies over 200 kilograms of the Evolution Source.
More than a hundred extremist evolutionists from the Round Table took government officials hostage and fiercely clashed with the armed forces, successfully occupying the meteorite storage base in the early hours local time. They began pressuring Chief Supervisor Amatullah to give the final password to open the lead-sealed high-pressure warehouse.
In fact, according to Amatullah’s usual style, if the president had to die, then he had to die. If the Evolution Source spreads out, all of North Africa would immediately plunge into war. This cannot be allowed, and millions of civilians cannot die because of it. But she couldn’t decide this alone and had to report to EHPBC quickly, causing an international uproar. Cameron immediately dispatched a strong armed force to suppress the situation — a total of three people.
Amatullah herself, who had to go, Antonio, who was forcibly conscripted while protesting the budget shortfall at the United Nations, and Bai Sheng, who flew in from afar.
Due to the severity of the incident, EHPBC established a temporary command center at another military base 500 kilometers away, with the council chairman personally overseeing the command. They welcomed Supervisor Shen with the highest honor… and his terrifying wife, who had the strongest combat power on earth.
“——Thank you very much, Mr. Bai. Thank you very much for your contribution to Earth’s peace!” The chairman had encountered Bai Sheng once during the last hearing, and the psychological shadow had yet to dissipate, forcing a smile as he warmly shook hands with Bai Sheng, even though the smile looked like he was in such pain that his face was twitching: “The council will bestow the highest commendation upon you, rest assured and go! Humanity will never forget your merits!”
In the roar of the helicopter, Bai Sheng vigorously patted the chairman’s hand and loudly said, “No problem! It doesn’t matter if they remember or not! I just assume I’m being taken advantage of again by you all, and I don’t plan to die for you!”
Chairman: “…”
“Ahem,” Shen Zhuo cleared his throat discreetly, meaning Bai Sheng should stop.
Bai Sheng reached out and pulled Shen Zhuo over, holding him tightly while gripping the chairman’s hand: “It’s one thing to take advantage of me, but taking advantage of my partner is absolutely unacceptable. After this is over, make sure to give our Supervisor Shen a raise! Otherwise, there won’t be a next time!”
The chairman, clearly not as skilled as Cameron, almost twisted his forced smile. Only then did Bai Sheng let go and walk towards the waiting armed helicopter, but after a few steps, he suddenly turned back, ran over, hugged Shen Zhuo from behind, and affectionately rubbed his cheek against Shen Zhuo’s before quickly leaving again.
All the officials present: “…”
Everyone’s mind flashed back to the moment when the tyrant launched his shocking campaign, feeling like the Hellhound King had deliberately marked Supervisor Shen with his scent before leaving. The only possible interpretation: intimidation.
Shen Zhuo remained calm as usual, signaling Shui Ronghua to follow him. As he passed the chairman, he slightly turned his head and whispered, “You heard what he said, right?”
“…” The chairman almost choked.
·
Outside the military base was the desert, and the armed helicopter was already ready to depart. Besides the pilot, the cabin had only two high-ranking supervisors who had to work.
Amatullah looked gloomy, while Antonio smoked angrily, with the base map in front of him that no one wanted to look at.
“I say, can you stop it? Who’s the long face for?” Amatullah finally couldn’t stand it and snatched the cigarette from Antonio’s hand, “That one-billion-euro budget has already been signed off for me. Who told you to go protest at the UN, demanding half of it? Why do you always want to take a share of the budget from me, Margot, and Celine? If you’re so eager to join the sisterhood, why don’t you go get a surgery first, huh?”
Antonio grabbed his cigarette back, furious: “The entire South American district has so little budget that I’m about to sell myself! What will I sell after surgery?!”
Amatullah’s gaze slowly moved to his perky butt.
“…” Antonio was furious: “My quarterly budget was halved, where’s your conscience? Where’s humanity? I’m forced to work overtime globally every day with this little salary; I can’t even do my ancestral protection racket. Are you still human! At least give me 20 million!”
“I advise you not to be too unreasonable, Mr. Antonio. The number of evolutionists in our North African district has increased tenfold without any increase in the budget. That one billion was something I had to threaten Cameron with hanging myself in his office to get. It’s already mine! Understand?! Cameron gave Shenhai six billion; if you have the guts, go protest Shen’s budget! Are you scared?!”
“Who says I’m scared? Do you think I’m afraid of Shen Zhuo?!” Antonio angrily put out his cigarette, swearing: “I’ll go find Shen Zhuo, and if worst comes to worst, we’ll fight to the death. I will tell him how… how…”
The cabin door suddenly opened.
“How honored I am to fight alongside my dear friend for the sake of human peace.” Antonio turned around calmly: “Martin Luther Bolshevik Bai-ge.”
Bai Sheng cheerfully climbed into the cabin, waving: “Yo! Comrades!”
Amatullah covered her face with one hand, a vein bulging at her temple, not wanting to look at these two idiots.
The armed helicopter slowly took off, roaring towards the meteorite base 500 kilometers away.
·
“…Alright, alright, after this is done, I’ll give you 20 million out of my budget. I really can’t give any more.” An hour later, Amatullah finally succumbed to the barrage of words, exhausted, ending the bargaining: “Reclaim the military base, rescue the important hostages, eliminate the extremist militants, and capture the main leaders of the Round Table. Note that if any hostages die, you don’t get the 20 million. Deal?”
Antonio sullenly said, “Hmph.”
Amatullah mercilessly said, “What are you ‘hmphing’ about? Look at Bai Sheng, how many times has he been taken advantage of without getting a single penny for his hard work? Did he say anything?”
Both of them looked at Bai Sheng at the same time.
Bai Sheng turned a deaf ear to it and was studying the base blueprint seriously. He was the only person in the entire cabin who was preparing for the operation.
“…” Antonio thought for a moment, feeling a bit comforted by the reasoning. At this moment, the pilot’s call came through the noise: “Report, Supervisors! We’re approaching the target base; prepare to jump!”
Looking out from the porthole, the golden desert stretched infinitely, and the military base occupied by the Round Table was beneath them, with black smoke billowing from the rooftops.
Bai Sheng put down the map, stretched his shoulders, and sighed.
“This damn helicopter always makes me dizzy. I heard the Gulfstream G600 is now only 58 million USD after a price drop. Maybe I should buy one as a wedding gift for Supervisor Shen.”
Antonio: “…”
Amatullah: “…”
An indescribable silence enveloped the cabin.
Bai Sheng modestly nodded, turned, opened the cabin door, and jumped into the wind.
For an S-class, this flight altitude didn’t even require a parachute. As the ground rapidly approached with the wind howling, he landed steadily with a thud, rolling smoothly to his feet.
Two more thuds followed as Amatullah and Antonio landed, quickly getting up and adjusting their gear and headsets.
The military base was vast, arranged in a circular formation around the central meteorite storage depot.
Just like the Fort St. Carter base that Bai Sheng and Shen Zhuo had visited before, the meteorite storage here was built ten levels underground, heavily guarded by various mechanisms, and over a hundred extreme evolutionists had already successfully infiltrated the underground.
In the distance, sandstorms raged, the high walls and electric fences had been destroyed, and overturned tanks were still burning with roaring flames. The surface buildings were devastated.
“Command center, command center.” Bai Sheng looked around and tapped his headset, “We have arrived successfully. Any instructions?”
The command center was brightly lit, staff hurried about, and real-time satellite images filled an entire wall of monitoring screens. The EHPBC council chairman and a group of high-ranking officials stood in front of the command platform.
“This is the command center, I am Supervisor Shen.” Shen Zhuo stood beside the council chairman, wearing a command headset, looking up at the satellite monitoring images: “The situation on the ground is very dangerous. According to intelligence, about a thousand armed militants have breached the outer buildings, likely taking over the armory and possessing high-firepower heavy weapons. Please proceed with caution.”
Antonio was shocked: “A thousand? Are there that many?”
“Most of the followers in extreme evolution organizations are humans, commonly known as the Submission Faction,” Shen Zhuo said, “Satellite images show these human militants are mostly distributed on the surface. Your position is too conspicuous. I suggest moving towards the four o’clock direction…”
Before he could finish, Bai Sheng shouted, “Watch out!”
Gunfire erupted in the distance, as a group of militants discovered them, firing wildly while charging forward. Antonio couldn’t dodge in time, a bullet piercing through his head, splattering a spray of blood!
With a dull thud, his body fell to the ground.
“Reporting to the command center, reporting to the command center!” Amatullah darted into cover, joyfully pressing her headset: “Antonio is down, Antonio is down!”
The expressions of all the officials in front of the command desk went blank for a moment.
Gunfire roared, sand flew, and five seconds later, Antonio suddenly jerked up, clumsily climbing off the ground, clutching his head and gritting his teeth: “Do you think you can get away with my 20 million just like this?!”
Amatullah: “…”
Bai Sheng patted her shoulder comfortingly.
The gunshot wound that pierced Antonio’s head slowly healed, with even the last bit of skin completely restored. Then, facing the oncoming militants, he slammed his palm to the ground—
It was clearly silent, but a thunderous sound seemed to resonate from deep within the desert.
S-class ability, No War Zone.
Centered on the caster, within a maximum radius of 4000 kilometers, all thermal weapons and their platforms cease to function, including aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and even nuclear weapons.
Once activated, this ability affects everyone indiscriminately, making them unable to deliver precise strikes, hence classified as strong S-class.
Maximum duration: 24 hours. Cooldown period: 30 days.
The rain of bullets stopped instantly, and the air plunged into silence.
The group of militants hadn’t yet realized what had happened when Bai Sheng snapped his fingers.
Under the power of gravity, the sand surged like a giant wave, burying them alive in the ground.
It’s interesting to see them 3 SS & S class combinations fight together owo. Usually it’s mc, ml, and the kids.
