Although they are going to help another world, they can’t enter the base rashly. People in this world are unpredictable, they need to be careful in everything.
But the middle-aged man is only an ordinary member of the base after all, and he couldn’t find out the specific situation inside after asking for a long time. He only knows where the farmland is, the food production is very average, and where these ordinary people live and move around. The hierarchy in the base is stringent, and ordinary people like him don’t know the situation at the top.
After listening to the description of the middle-aged man, Ah San felt even more difficult to go in. If they really need to break into the deep water hole where the dragon lives, the lair where the tiger hides1龍潭虎穴 lóng tán hǔ xué: The deep water hole where the dragon lives, the lair where the tiger hides (idiom); extremely dangerous place., it’s better to just leave, they can’t try their best to help others with good intentions, but be arrested and tortured in the end.
And the ‘void’ thing must not be exposed, if the position is reversed, and he lives in the post-apocalyptic world, if he knows that he can enter other safe world through the ‘void’, he will certainly want to go through the ‘void’ to their world by any means.
Although Tan Yan said that people from other worlds would disappear into the ‘void’, it is better not to take risks.
Several people designed several action plans, but they were either dangerous or time-consuming. None of them was perfect.
“I think the best plan is to snatch the protective clothing of several people at the entrance, Tan Yan will protect and hide them outside, we will sneak in and complete the task, and then put them back.” Liang Xian said, “Didn’t the uncle just say that sometimes the oxygen becomes thinner underground? So wearing protective clothing is normal for people who are not feeling well.”
“I don’t agree to enter their base, it’s tantamount to a wolf entering the tiger’s den2狼入虎口 láng rù hǔkǒu: Might be a pun of 羊入虎口 (yáng rù hǔ kǒu), lit. a lamb in a tiger’s den (idiom); fig. to tread dangerous ground..” Ah San objected, “It will take at least half an hour to input the data after you enter. There are too many variables, you should take hostages and let them send the computer and the network out together.”
“You also heard from Uncle that human life is worthless in the last days, what kind of hostage can make them obedient? Even if we kidnap the top leader of the base, maybe his political enemy will take advantage and use the opportunity to rise to power.” Liang Xian disagrees with this approach, “Unless the entire leadership of the base is tied up, which is impossible, so it is still…”
“Can.” Tan Yan said suddenly.
“Huh? Can what?” Liang Xian was puzzled.
“Can tie up all the main leaders.” Tan Yan said lightly, “I’ll try.”
Three people: “…”
Ah San picks his ears: “How do we surround a base with the power of four people?”
Tan Yan pressed the knuckles of the other hand with his palm, and the knuckles made a ‘crack’ sound: “Using fists.”
Three people: “…”
When they were wondering whether Tan Yan was overconfident in his own strength because of his superpowers, Tan Yan said to the middle-aged uncle: “Xiao Liu… No, Mr. Liu, is the base just below here?”
Middle-aged • Xiao Liu nodded: “I dare not move far away from the base. The search range is very close to the gate of the base, so that if there is a meteorite attack, I can duck back as soon as possible.”
“That’s enough.” Tan Yan nodded.
The way to get a networked computer without entering the base is very simple if you think about it carefully, isn’t it?
He turned around and picked his way across the ground, selecting the largest and most solid-looking meteorite nearby, which was more than ten meters high. Tan Yan circled around the meteor twice, and seemed to find a suitable point of force. He hugged the meteorite with both arms, and lifted the meteorite easily.
Three people + middle-aged Xiao Liu: “…”
Qin Li rubbed his eyes, and tried to hug the three-meter-high meteorite they were hiding in, but the meteorite remained motionless.
“Report, the density of the meteorite around us is initially measured to be above 5g/cm, which is far higher than that of granite, and it is suspected that it contains metal components. Judging from the volume of the meteorite lifted up by Tan Yan, his meteorite…” Qin Li couldn’t continue.
It’s almost a ton…
The four of them watched dumbfounded as Tan Yan easily carried the meteorite to a place a little far away from the base gate pointed out by the middle-aged Xiao Liu. He carried the meteorite on one shoulder, and jumped up easily.
Jump, jumped up!
After jumping about tens of meters high, Tan Yan descended at an extremely fast speed, with a ‘boom’, the meteorite hit the ground heavily, and the whole earth trembled violently.
The three people in the protective cover couldn’t feel the wind pressure at all, but the storm directly blew away the middle-aged Xiao Liu after the meteorite landed. He reacted quickly and immediately popped out a chain from his waist, and the head of the chain was firmly stuck into the ground, which stabilized Xiao Liu’s body so that the wind would not blow him away.
The three people watched the flying stones being bounced away by the protective shield, feeling ashamed in their hearts for wanting to learn superpowers.
Even if they understand this power, can they really learn it?
Tan Yan patted the dust off his body, walked back to stabilize the middle-aged Xiao Liu who was still flying, and asked: “The vibration just now was enough for the underground base to feel it, right?”
“E, enough…” Middle-aged Xiao Liu trembled and said, “You, if you use a little more strength, the base will, will directly collapse.”
“Probably not, I never thought of destroying the base.” Tan Yan is full of confidence, “You should have an emergency communicator on you to contact the base, right?”
“Ha, have.” When they go out on patrol, they can call the base army once they encounter people or dangerous situations in hostile bases.
Tan Yan took the emergency communicator and handed it to Liang Xian: “I’m not good at making speeches, you can propose conditions.”
The attitude is incredibly relaxed.
Liang Xian: “…”
He took the communicator with complicated emotions, and put himself in the mood of the fox pretending to be the tiger3狐假虎威 hú jiǎ hǔ wēi: lit. the fox exploits the tiger’s might (idiom); fig. to use powerful connections to intimidate people.
En, foxes also don’t have it easy.
In fact, he also wanted to immerse himself in thinking about the meaning of life with Ah San Qin Li, but Tan Yan’s trust made him have to return to reality. Liang Xian managed to pull himself together, whispered softly, and said in an extremely majestic tone: “People in the base, I’m only going to say this once, please listen carefully.”
“We need a computer that can contact the country, please report to your superiors immediately and send it to the ground within half an hour. I’m sure you all felt the vibration just now, this is just a small greeting, then every five minutes, we will attack once, and each attack will be twice as strong as the previous one, that is, if you can’t get the computer out within half an hour, you will suffer 64 times of the first attack.”
“You, you guys… is an alien or people from the future?” Middle-aged Liu trembled and asked, “Why is it possible to live exposed to the air? Why is there such a powerful force?”
“We are earthlings.” Liang Xian lightly said, “That’s all I can tell you.”
“For the attack just now, you can still do it for 64 times the speed?” Ah San no longer cares about computers or other worlds, focusing all his body and mind on Tan Yan.
“Don’t know.” Tan Yan shook his head, “I’m not good at math.”
Ah San Liang Xian Qin Li: “…”
Mathematics is not good, meaning that you can’t calculate your maximum power, or you can’t accurately calculate 64 times?
Don’t let it be the latter!
Fortunately, Tan Yan is not a person who likes to show off, and he doesn’t feel that he has done anything shocking, he told Liang Xian: “But if it’s 64 times, the base will really not be able to withstand it, I think they can at most withstand more than 5 times the pressure.”
“It’s ok, after 5 minutes, you have to do 2 times the strength, they will act immediately.” Liang Xian said, “We just need to show our decisiveness and determination, this is indeed the fastest and safest way.”
Demonstration first, but at the same time said that he has no malicious intentions, just want to use a computer. The opponent will gather troops to attack within five minutes, but the people at the base will give up resistance when the next attack occurs after five minutes.
It’s not that he doesn’t have the power to defeat Tan Yan, Liang Xian believes that there are still nuclear bombs in this world. But no one will use this kind of heavy weapon on their own home ground. As long as their demands are not too excessive, the base will satisfy them.
Ah San expressed: “I think you are very proficient at pretending to be a tiger.”
Liang Xian remained silent.
Although Tan Yan keeps saying, you can do whatever you want, just do it, there is me. But before he really showed his inhuman strength, no one took it seriously. Everyone thinks, even if you have superpowers, how much can you do? At most, the force is greater, the jumping ability is stronger, and human power, after all, can not compare to heavy weapons.
But in fact, the inhuman power a person displays is definitely more shocking than a missile of the same level.
No wonder Tan Yan thinks his hearing and speed are average in the real world, if he often shows his power like this in another world…
Liang Xian recalled Tan Yan’s performance in military training, and felt that it was indeed quite ordinary.
The base is already going crazy, they also have surveillance on the ground, usually to detect huge meteorites, and the installation is very hidden. When they heard the sound from the emergency communicator out on patrol, they immediately called up the surveillance. I thought it was other bases carrying heavy weapons to attack, and the base leaders were pursuing the responsibility of the field patrols, such a large team could enter the base’s security line silently. What are the patrols doing all day long!
But the content of the surveillance made everyone’s jaw drop, four unprotected people were exposed to the sunlight without the protection of the atmosphere, and one of them also lifted the meteor, are they really human?!
“They want computers… Commander, do you think aliens want to occupy the Earth through the Earth’s network?” One of the key officers at the base asked.
“Fart! What else can be occupied on such a broken earth, whoever wants it will take it. And maybe aliens can use high technology to improve the Earth’s environment, isn’t it just a computer that can connect to the central network? Give it to them.” The commander said very bluntly.
“But Commander, let them show off their power like this, we don’t even resist, isn’t it a bit too spineless?” Another dignitary suggested.
“Financial Officer, you calculate how many troops, how many weapons, how much power, how much energy is needed to manufacture these weapons, come out and calculate. Whoever can guarantee to make up these energy sources can go to war.”
The Chief Financial Officer immediately listed the budget. The above astronomical figure made everyone in the conference room dumbfounded. This energy is enough to maintain the base for two years. It is really… can’t afford to fight.
In contrast, it seems easier to hand over the computer.
What the commander means is, if they still want to fight after handing over the computer, then they can only fight.
Liang Xian never expected that neither resistance nor the second attack would happen. At 4:53 seconds, a desktop computer connected to a network cable was moved to the ground.
Four people: “…”
People in the last days are more spineless than they imagined, and they know how to survive better.
They can’t help but think, if the real world also enters the end times, how will the people on Earth choose?
The author has something to say:
Liang Xian: Huh? I heard I’m the Gong?
Ah San: Hehe
Qin Li: Hehe
