"President, how can this be?!" The purple-haired young man was shocked.
His name is Dai Changlin, awakened with the Mental System's Lightning Control. Because his talent is so high, his hair has been assimilated into the color purple by the thunder element.
Now, he is at the Human Limit Cultivation level, and in terms of individual combat power, he has virtually no rivals in the entire alliance.
This time, as the envoy to the Volcano Race, he is the captain.
"The cost of using Absolute Defense is the consumption of vital energy, although not much is consumed, it should be used sparingly, and the larger the protection area, the greater the consumption."
Chen Tianzhi said, "Your offensive capability is sufficient, but your defense is too weak. This time your primary task is to stay alive, and secondly to gather as much information about the Volcano Race as possible, including the number of strong individuals, building layouts, frequently used weapons, etc."
After a pause, he said solemnly, "The Volcano Race's probes have become more frequent in the past few days, their malice almost overflowing. This battle is inevitable. Whether you can return safely is unknown. This Celestial Marvel serves as a safeguard. You're entrusted with a great responsibility. Without means for survival, I can't rest easy."
Recently, whenever Superpower Users from Earth Civilization ventured out and encountered the Volcano Race, those from the Volcano Race would deliberately release auras to intimidate them, but without directly attacking.
Everyone felt extremely aggrieved. It's not that they didn't want to release their aura in return; it's just that their cultivation level couldn't match theirs.
If not for the need to consider the big picture, members of the hunting teams or demon extermination teams would have liked to directly take out the black-tech weapons made by Mechanicians and bombard them.
Clearly, in these silent confrontations over the past few days, Earth Civilization has been at a disadvantage and suppressed.
During this period, aside from ordinary people who still know nothing, all those in the know feel a sense of grievance, and the entire Alliance Headquarters is in a low-pressure environment.
Before Dai Changlin could feel moved, Chen Tianzhi continued, "It's time to depart. No need to rush; as long as you reach the Volcano Race before dawn tomorrow, I'll be here waiting for your return."
Upon hearing these words, Dai Changlin said no more, saluted deeply, "Changlin will surely return safely and bring back the Celestial Marvel to its rightful owner!"
With that, he resolutely turned around, leading his nine team members towards the direction of the volcano group.
Chen Tianzhi kept watching the ten envoys disappear from view, then solemnly said, "Prepare for battle. Space Transmission ability users get into position. If the ten envoys sacrifice themselves, immediately send in ten strategic nuclear bombs."
"Yes!!"
Everyone in the rear felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly prepared.
As for how to know the status of the ten envoys immediately?
The entire Earth Alliance has excavated several Ancient Ruins in this world, it's not as if there's been no gain.
And most importantly, the Celestial Marvel "Absolute Defense" has another feature: if the user is forcibly controlled, it will cause a huge explosion, then the original owner of the Marvel, no matter how far away, will be able to know immediately.
...
Inside the palace of the Volcano Race.
The elderly Volcano man asked in a deep voice, "The envoys of Earth Civilization have already set out and are expected to arrive before dawn. Are the preparations for controlling the Marvel complete?"
"In response to the chief, everything is fully prepared, just waiting for their arrival. We can definitely obtain important information from them." A middle-aged Volcano man below nodded respectfully.
The elderly Volcano man nodded, "After these few days of probing, the confidence of Earth Civilization is far from as adequate as they present. In that case, let's devour this piece of fat meat to enrich our race. Prepare for full-scale war; although we are confident, we must not underestimate the opponent. The execution power of tech-civilization warfare is reportedly terrifying, let's minimize losses as much as possible."
"Yes!!" The middle-aged Volcano man responded respectfully, ready to leave.
The elderly Volcano man suddenly added, "In this war against Earth Civilization, it's enough to kill the strong ones. Our Volcano Race may not be suited for developing technology, so it's best to leave the weak ones to help us with research."
"Yes!" The middle-aged Volcano man hurriedly went to make arrangements.
The elderly Volcano man approached the palace entrance, gazing into the distance, a hint of longing flashing in his old eyes, "The Heavenly Creature that the old ancestor mentioned, is it in that direction? Celestial-level Creatures... Even in a weakened state, our race cannot afford to provoke. I wonder if the old ancestor still has hope to break through..."
At this point, he couldn't help thinking about the direction in which the Celestial-level Creature the old ancestor mentioned was moving...
"It seems Earth Civilization also came from that direction..."
"Were they driven over, or?"
A hint of hesitation flashed in the elderly Volcano man's aged eyes, "Perhaps there still needs to be one final probe, we must not bring hidden dangers to our race!"
Although he doesn't believe Earth Civilization has Celestial-level Creatures.
After all, in legend, civilizations with Celestial-level Creatures are nearly the most advanced civilizations in this world.
And Earth Civilization doesn't seem to have any relation to being a top civilization.
However—
What if?
...
The sun set in the west.
The external temperature had already exceeded three hundred degrees Celsius, approaching four hundred degrees.
At the center of the Safe Zone, Yang Yuan, with the help of a group of soldiers, was rapidly assembling the Radiation-Proof Safe House.
Jia Weixin, the supreme leader of the thirteenth team, was naturally here as well.
However, Jia Weixin was feeling a bit ashamed at the moment, having forgotten such an important matter.
Hunting Celestial-level Creatures would certainly cause a huge commotion. Without the old chief helping him check for gaps and omissions, it's hard to imagine what would happen tomorrow.
In the end, he's not suited for brainwork; he's more suited to leading troops into battle!
Although the building modules were quite heavy, with many Superpower Users helping pass materials, Yang Yuan didn't struggle much.
When the sky completely darkened, the Radiation-Proof Safe House was completed.
This Safe House, although only three meters high, was ten meters wide and over a hundred meters long, composed of over thirty thousand building modules, including the floor, ceiling, walls, door frames, door panels, and ventilation system modules, among others.
Once fully constructed, it looked like a container over a hundred meters long, but inside it was very spacious, with no partitions.
Although many building modules were used, due to the simple structure, the initial upgrade experience was not much.
[Radiation-Proof Safe House Lv.1: 0/10 (In a closed-door state, can defend against normal radiation; cannot be upgraded)]
"Mr. Yang Yuan, how is it?" Jia Weixin asked eagerly.
"Have people move in, including all the women and children," Yang Yuan said. "If there's extra space, you can arrange yourselves; you must move in now."
He wasn't sure if the experience acquisition method for this Radiation-Proof Safe House was the same as his own Safe House.
If it were, having enough people should allow the Safe House to upgrade quickly.
"Alright."
Jia Weixin immediately went to make arrangements.
"Also, leave two spots for Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi," Yang Yuan said.
"Of course." Jia Weixin nodded, specially reserving two spots for Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi, instead of letting them squeeze in with others, blatantly treating them differently.
He realized that he isn't cut out for politics and doesn't need to maintain any balance. As long as rewards and penalties are clear, it's fine.
For everything else, the old chief would help him check for gaps and omissions—perfect.
Yang Yuan looked up at his Firepower Flying Disc under the night sky, then returned to the factory.
"Sir..."
"Sir, you're back? These Plum Blossom Darts are almost worn out."
In the corner, the group of ordinary people responsible for throwing the Plum Blossom Darts hurried over to salute upon seeing him.
This group of people was very diligent; for two days, aside from necessary sleep and mealtime, they were almost constantly throwing Plum Blossom Darts here.
"Thank you for your hard work, you can leave now,"
Yang Yuan let the ordinary workers leave, then looked at the Plum Blossom Darts in front of him.
Very good, even the one with the least experience has over five thousand; these people are indeed diligent.
He immediately spent a bit of experience to repair each of these Plum Blossom Darts, then upgraded them consecutively.
When all the Plum Blossom Darts had been upgraded to the Marvel level, his personal experience finally accumulated enough to reach level twenty-one.
