279: I don't like eating other people's leftovers.
From the watchtower on the ground of Lianzhou Base, Tian Ming sat in the observation room at the top of the watchtower, commanding his Nanometer Avatar to kill.
The Avatar could combine into one or disperse for reconnaissance, covering an area of a hundred kilometers.
No matter which direction the zombies attacked from, they would be annihilated by the Avatar.
Moreover, Tian Ming also found that the Nanometer Avatar became more and more intuitive to use, almost instantly grasping his intentions and, to a certain extent, making autonomous decisions.
Their Degree of tacit understanding was one hundred percent, greatly increasing his harvesting efficiency.
It was just as the saying goes: "A man sits at home, and Red Crystal Cores fall from the sky."
This was the so-called dimensionality reduction strike; you thought Tian Ming was on the fifth floor, but he was actually in the atmosphere.
With a creak, the door to the watchtower room opened, and a beautiful woman entered, carrying a kettle and a basket of fresh fruits.
"Instructor Lu!" the woman called out softly, her voice gentle and pleasant, like a spring breeze, making one feel incredibly comfortable.
Tian Ming looked back and saw the woman wearing a fitted military uniform and a military cap, which made her already delicate features even more charming.
Tian Ming smiled; he knew this woman.
She was one of the heads of logistics management at Lianzhou Base, named Zhou Sumei, 22 years old.
Although young, she was one of the important figures in the management.
She basically had the final say on the food supply from the underground agricultural department, a true backbone of the Base.
Zhou Sumei walked forward, placed the kettle and basket on the table, and smiled gently, "Instructor Lu, I've brought you some fruit and water.
You've been so busy here; you must be very tired, right? Have some fruit and rest."
As she spoke, she arranged the fruits and other items and personally poured Tian Ming a cup of water.
"Thank you!" Tian Ming said politely, then leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on the window.
His Nanometer Avatar was spread throughout the area, and images would occasionally be transmitted into Tian Ming's mind.
Tian Ming was like a monitor, aware of every movement around the Base.
After Zhou Sumei put down the items, she turned and walked towards the door, closing it, but showing no intention of leaving.
"Just leave the things here and go.
The relocation of Base personnel will last at least half a month or more," Tian Ming said without turning, casually popping a small tomato into his mouth.
"Instructor Lu, I've seen you staying here for the past two days, manipulating that 'black mist'.
Can you really handle it like this? You must be very tired, right?"
Tian Ming paused, a smile playing on his lips, and he casually took another tomato, putting it into his mouth.
He slowly said, "That's not smoke; that's my Nanometer Avatar.
With this, an area of a hundred kilometers is under my surveillance.
Unless it's a particularly powerful Corpse King, I generally don't need to act; the Avatar can handle it."
Zhou Sumei walked over with a smile, "I heard Instructor Lu is the only Full Element Ability User in the entire alliance.
Ordinary Superpower Users only control six elements, but you can control all elements.
Doesn't that mean you're invincible?"
As Zhou Sumei spoke, she slowly placed her hand on Tian Ming's shoulder and gently kneaded it, giving him a massage.
Tian Ming smiled.
This girl wasn't here to deliver fruit; she was clearly here for a massage.
Her small hands on his shoulders actually felt quite comfortable.
"Where are you putting your hands?"
Zhou Sumei paused, then immediately giggled, "Instructor Lu, please don't misunderstand.
It's all because of you that the people of our Lianzhou Base don't have to live in fear anymore.
You're working so hard; isn't it only right that I give you a massage?
How's the pressure?"
"The pressure is good; it's quite comfortable.
But how many men have these hands massaged?" Tian Ming's tone was extremely calm, but his words carried a sting.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhou Sumei's face, but she quickly smiled and said, "You're joking.
I'm too busy with work; how could I possibly massage anyone else?"
"Is that so? Then I'm relieved.
I'm a bit of a clean freak; I don't like using things that others have used," Tian Ming smiled, letting Zhou Sumei's hands continue to massage his shoulders.
Although Zhou Sumei was only 22, she was clearly a very resourceful woman.
She could manipulate some men in the palm of her hand.
For a young Ability User like Tian Ming, who was only twenty-five or twenty-six, Zhou Sumei knew that playing hard to get was the best strategy against such a vigorous young man.
"Instructor Lu, you look very young.
How old are you?"
"Twenty-five, maybe twenty-four.
I was adopted, so I don't really know when I was born."
Zhou Sumei smiled and said, "Then you're older than me.
If you don't mind, can I call you Gege?"
Before Tian Ming could answer, Zhou Sumei, while rubbing Tian Ming's shoulder, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Gege~!"
Tian Ming's scalp tingled.
Goodness, she really knew how to play the game.
This woman was even more skilled than Lisa.
When Lisa tried to seduce him, she went straight for full disclosure.
But Zhou Sumei was clearly more advanced.
Generally speaking, most men would easily get carried away by such an offensive.
Tian Ming smiled slightly and gently patted the back of Zhou Sumei's hand, signaling her to stop massaging.
"You'd better stop.
I don't think this is a massage at all; this kind of massage, most people can't resist."
Zhou Sumei's face flushed slightly, then she giggled, "Gege, you're so naughty.
If you can't resist, then don't resist."
The atmosphere was already built up, but the smile on Tian Ming's face disappeared.
"Go to work.
I'm not your type.
And you, well, you're not my preferred type either."
Zhou Sumei was stunned by Tian Ming's sudden change.
She hadn't expected him to reject her so directly.
A hint of grievance appeared on her face as she said, "You haven't even tasted this dish; how do you know you don't like it?
You're so powerful; even if you taste it and don't pay, no one can do anything to you, right?
As the saying goes, 'don't eat for nothing.'
How will you know if you don't try?"
Tian Ming looked at Zhou Sumei and said indifferently, "Go and do your work properly!"
Zhou Sumei's expression changed slightly.
She seemed a bit angry and was about to say something when a current of air directly confined her.
Immediately after, the door opened in mid-air, and Tian Ming directly used the air current to send her outside the door.
Bang!
The door slammed shut, and Zhou Sumei stood at the entrance, instantly stunned.
Her foolproof offensive had actually failed in front of this young man.
She was both anxious and angry, and she knocked on the door.
But an air cushion had formed on the door; her hand couldn't even touch the door, and as soon as she got close, she was pushed away.
"Fine, you just wait.
You won't even eat what's delivered to your door."
Tian Ming's voice came from inside, "I told you, I don't like eating leftovers.
These small tomatoes are good, though.
Thanks!"
"You..." Zhou Sumei stamped her foot in anger.
