Chapter 141 - 136: The Karma of a Great Emperor Is Too Great for Mengde to Bear

Chapter 141: Chapter 136: The Karma of a Great Emperor Is Too Great for Mengde to Bear

It was common knowledge that Telekinesis attacks were formless!

For anyone with a ridiculously tough physical defense, it was practically an overwhelming, higher-dimensional assault!

This was true for Tiezhu!

And it was just as true for someone like Han Niba!

Han Niba’s last-second attempt to struggle was doomed to be nothing more than a death throe.

The ethereal Telekinesis Sword plunged straight into Han Niba’s forehead.

He was utterly powerless to resist!

As a Superpower Crystal Core dropped to the ground, Han Niba’s massive body collapsed on the spot!

The leader of West City Base had finally met his end!

His great, ball-like body crashed to the ground, carving out a huge crater!

But one had to admit, Han Niba’s strength had been considerable.

If he hadn’t run into Mengde, he probably would have lived quite a comfortable life in the apocalypse.

After all, evolving through a twisted path like consumption caused one’s Superpower Level to rise very quickly!

Watching their boss annihilate a monster that the three of them couldn’t even handle with a mere wave of his hand...

Leng Feng and the other two were filled with nothing but awe!

’Look at that. That’s our boss!’

"Boss has the air of an invincible emperor!"

Mengde’s face darkened.

"If you don’t know how to give a compliment, then don’t say anything at all!"

"That kind of talk can get people killed!"

’The karmic weight of being called an ’emperor’ is too much. I can’t bear it!’

With their leader, Han Niba, dead, there was no one left in West City Base who could resist Mengde.

All that remained was to clear out the base’s granary and supplies.

Gao Qiu and his men had certainly scavenged a ton of supplies during this time.

And now, it would all fall into his lap!

Furthermore, although the West City Base granary was located in an air-raid shelter, it had more than one entrance.

Otherwise, if he had to go through that main tunnel, the stench would have killed him.

Led by a guard, Mengde and his men quickly entered the granary through another entrance.

This entrance was supposedly a "back door" that the guards had secretly dug to avoid being eaten by their leader.

Now, it was his to use.

Upon entering the granary, Mengde discovered that the supplies inside exceeded his wildest imagination.

’This is a massive post-apocalyptic pantry!’

Its scale was comparable to a ten-billion-dollar-class Walmart warehouse!

Mengde was ecstatic. He had a one-track mind: loot, loot, loot!

Of course, he didn’t take everything.

He left a little for Leng Feng and the others to take back.

What went into his personal space was his own.

The rest was for the base!

Yes, Mengde was just that principled about separating public and private assets.

Even though he already possessed more supplies than he could count.

But in the apocalypse, supplies were like "money" before the end of the world.

Who would ever complain about having too much money?

And no one would dare say they weren’t interested in money.

With the exception of a certain Mr. Ma, of course.

After emerging from the granary, Mengde went to the center of West City Base.

Seventy or eighty Superpower Users were being held captive there.

This was the group of Superpower Users that Mengde had ordered Leng Feng and his men to capture alive.

Leng Feng and the others had already tried to persuade them to surrender.

Those who could be persuaded were persuaded.

They got the full treatment: a "Seed of Consciousness" for each!

Of course, anyone who had committed inhumane acts was excluded.

As for those who couldn’t be persuaded, who would rather die than join, and those who had committed inhumane acts...

For example, like their leader, those who had eaten human flesh were also unacceptable!

After all, certain viruses were no joke!

There was no telling if they were contagious!

After a round of selection, over thirty Superpower Users remained!

They had been beaten half to death, yet they still glared at him defiantly.

Mengde, naturally, wasn’t about to indulge them!

’Won’t surrender?’

’Hehehe... Then you can become test subjects for my Superpower-stripping experiments!’

’They’re all prime leeks, ready for harvest!’

’It’d be a waste not to cut them!’

Walking up to the first Superpower User, Mengde smiled brightly.

"Don’t be afraid. I’ll treat you well!"

That smile made the Superpower User panic, a chill running down his spine!

"What... what are you going to do? I, Lu Renjia, would rather die out here than surrender to you!"

Heh!

’This guy’s pretty loyal!’

"Also... I’m telling you, a warrior can be killed but not humiliated!"

"I, Lu Renjia, am an entertainer, not a prostitute!"

"Don’t even think about it!"

As he spoke, the guy even clutched his collar tightly.

Mengde was exasperated.

’What the hell?’

He irritably smacked the guy on the head.

"Gimme that!"

The system prompt immediately popped up.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have successfully stripped the B-Level Superpower, Bursting Fire Fist, from the Tier Three Superpower User, Lu Renjia!]

Another Superpower stripped and acquired.

But Mengde wasn’t a heartless guy.

He had the art of the deal down to a science.

A fair trade!

After taking the man’s Superpower, he turned around and offered a fifty-cent, flour-based chicken leg from some knock-off shopping app in exchange.

Upon receiving the chicken leg, Lu Renjia’s face immediately lit up with joy.

’Getting slapped in exchange for a chicken leg.’

’What a great deal!’

’And to think I was so hostile to him just a moment ago.’

’I feel so bad now!’

After all, even though they were guarding such a huge granary and never had to worry about going hungry, they rarely got to eat meat.

The last time they ate meat was... well, the last time they ate meat!

"Thank you, thank you!"

"You’re such a good person!"

"If I’d known it would be like this, why would I have resisted?!"

"Is it too late to surrender now?"

Seeing Lu Renjia so moved he was about to cry, the corner of Mengde’s mouth twitched violently.

"What do you think? Eat up. It’s good to have a full stomach before you hit the road!"

Lu Renjia thought "hit the road" meant the road back to the base and immediately nodded happily.

With the first one done, the rest were easy.

Some even eagerly offered up their heads.

Mengde smilingly accepted them all!

In just a short while, he had pocketed over thirty Superpowers!

And all it cost him were thirty-odd, practically free, fifty-cent chicken legs.

This was a massive win!

Meanwhile, the thirty-plus Superpower Users whose powers he had taken were still happily enjoying their chicken legs.

Little did they know, this was their last supper!

Mengde shook his head and signaled for Leng Feng and his men to act!

He had given these people a chance.

’Surrendering now? It’s too late!’

Amidst a series of gunshots, Mengde led the convoy of survivors and headed toward Yulong Base.

The sky had long since grown dark!

However, before leaving, to prevent any viral mutations from occurring in the air-raid shelter...

...and giving birth to even more terrifying monsters...

Mengde had Leng Feng and his men burn the shelter to the ground.

Due to the large number of survivors, Mengde spent a considerable amount of time on the road.

He only managed to return to his Yulong Base the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.

Although it wasn’t even seven o’clock, the guards at the base’s main gate were already on duty.

This time, he had brought back over a thousand survivors.

Adding them to the two thousand-plus people already at his base...

...the survivor population of Yulong Base was now approaching four thousand.

The task of settling them in was, of course, handed over to Yourong and her group of Bikang girls.

But the women weren’t awake yet.

He thought about it and decided not to wake them.

The reason was simple: so many women, and Mengde’s ’gun’ could only handle so much!

Besides, there were still two other women in the RV.

He had really worn out Fei’er and Xiaoyao on the road, and they were both fast asleep.

He carried both women back to their rooms.

Only then did Mengde sneak over to Sister Yun’s place.

’He hadn’t had nearly enough of this intellectual beauty’s flavor!’

He lifted the blanket...

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... What’s under this blanket... so snowy white and dazzling..."

"Hehehe..."

The next second, Sister Yun, still deep in sleep, frowned slightly...
