316: Li Wang Fantasy
Lord Li's orders quickly spread, and the entire base entered a state of tension.
Soon, the base's broadcast system came to life.
Lord Li stood in the broadcast room, microphone in hand: "Lu Tianming, I know you are in Su Yuan Base.
I have ordered all of our kind to engage in unlimited killing and evolution.
If you don't leave this base, we will abandon this human breeding center, and we'll all perish together."
Tian Ming, who was currently moving through the depths of the base, heard the broadcast and was slightly startled.
He knew that Lord Li was truly desperate.
This was a base-wide broadcast, and besides Tian Ming, the people trapped within the base also heard it.
For these people, Tian Ming's arrival was not a savior, but a bringer of disaster.
The entire base began to boil with activity, and everyone, both humans and zombies, started searching for Tian Ming.
"Damn it, this isn't saving people; this is making us sacrifices!"
"Right, the Alliance has already abandoned us.
If it weren't for that all-element Ability User, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."
The internal personnel of the base were furious, especially the technical staff who had received "death-exemption passes" and the working staff who maintained the base's operations.
They could have lived well; as long as they obeyed, the zombies had no intention of treating them as food.
Now, with Lu Tianming's arrival, it was equivalent to cutting off their path to survival.
The entire base had over 600,000 people, and with orderly consumption, it could last for at least twenty years, by which time new populations would replenish it.
Those technical personnel would never be rotated out, so how could they welcome Tian Ming to save them?
Soon, Tian Ming's location was pinpointed by the technical staff.
After it was found, it was immediately reported to Lord Li through the zombies.
Tian Ming's plan to kill the Corpse King was also disrupted by this sudden situation.
A large group of people, armed with tools, blocked him tightly in a passage.
There was no need for the zombies to act; Lord Li's broadcast had completely pushed the survivors in the base to Tian Ming's opposite side.
"Lu Tianming, get out of Su Yuan Base!" a worker holding a large wrench shouted at Tian Ming, who was cornered in the passage.
Tian Ming's figure faded, disappearing into the air; he had activated his etherealization ability.
He wouldn't argue with these people; the move Lord Li played was, overall, quite clever.
To catch the bandit, first catch the king.
Tian Ming quickly moved towards the broadcast room, and in just a moment, he arrived at the broadcast room where Lord Li was located.
Lord Li looked at Tian Ming, who appeared before him, without any surprise on his face; instead, he revealed a meaningful smile.
If the human breeding in the base was messed up, Jiang Chen would not let him off.
If he kept compromising, his subordinates would die one by one at Tian Ming's hands.
Lord Li was not stupid; although he was not Tian Ming's opponent, he now held over 600,000 human lives in his hands, and this was his leverage against Tian Ming.
"Lu Tianming, you really came.
What, are you here to settle scores with me?"
Tian Ming smiled coldly: "I admit you are very clever, even changing my view that you Corpse Kings are brainless."
Lord Li smiled indifferently and slowly said, "My Corpse Emperor can do nothing against you.
I thought you would show some restraint for the sake of these 600,000 lives, but you keep killing my subordinates, and at increasingly higher ranks.
Then I can only throw caution to the wind.
You can kill me.
Without my presence in this base, all the zombies will riot, and you won't be able to save anyone.
600,000 people, ah, at least three or four Corpse Kings even more powerful than me could be created."
"Are you threatening me?" Tian Ming's tone was icy.
"I wouldn't dare threaten an all-element Ability User.
Go ahead and kill.
Our race has over a billion members, and like you humans, we also have reproductive capabilities.
If you can kill them all, then go ahead.
If you disregard the lives of these 600,000 people today, how will you be able to stand firm in the Alliance in the future?"
Tian Ming waved his hand, and black carbon fibers directly entangled Lord Li.
Lord Li's bones creaked, bearing immense pressure.
Several guarding leaders nearby immediately pounced on Tian Ming.
"Lu Tianming, don't harm our king!" The guarding leader's eyes gleamed with cold light, and his palms directly transformed into sharp blades, stabbing directly at Tian Ming.
Tian Ming's figure remained still, and several black mists gradually rose.
No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, and No. 5 avatars appeared directly, and countless Nanometer Avatars surged towards the leader, directly tearing the zombie into pieces.
The Corpse Kings who rushed over were also resolved by Tian Ming's avatars, and the zombies throughout the base began to riot.
One by one, blue Red Crystal Cores melted into the avatars' bodies.
And among them, two red Red Crystal Cores, dropped by the leaders, fell into Tian Ming's hands.
With more than half of his subordinates instantly lost, Lord Li's eyes were filled with rage, but his heart was also filled with fear.
Now, he finally understood why the Corpse Emperor Jiang Chen was unwilling to directly confront Tian Ming.
Tian Ming looked at Lord Li and slowly said, "Now, stop the corpse race riot in the base, immediately!"
As Tian Ming spoke, he directly absorbed the red Red Crystal Cores in his hand.
Under the impact of two streams of energy, Tian Ming's eyes also turned blood-red, looking extremely terrifying.
Keeping Lord Li alive was also to stabilize the corpse race.
Tian Ming could not be indifferent to the lives of 600,000 people.
The base was in chaos.
The zombies in the civilian area began to feast, the owners of the vegetable plots began to destroy them, and many zombies began to evolve uncontrollably.
If Lord Li did not stop them, once a Corpse King more powerful than Lord Li appeared, then Su Yuan Base would inevitably become an extremely serious tragedy.
A hint of disdain appeared at the corner of Lord Li's mouth: "Lu Tianming, you killed my subordinate leaders, do you think I will still compromise?
If I die, more of our kind will evolve.
At that time, I wonder how you will stop them.
Hahahaha..."
Lord Li's laughter was extremely arrogant, and this defiance made Tian Ming not hesitate at all.
An extremely strong laser beam shot towards Lord Li's head, and his entire head was melted by the incredibly powerful beam of light.
The king of Su Yuan Base died in Tian Ming's hands just like that.
A deep red Red Crystal Core appeared in Tian Ming's hand.
This Red Crystal Core was extremely rich in energy.
Tian Ming gripped the Red Crystal Core in his hand, and a hint of excitement appeared in his blood-red eyes.
As the Red Crystal Core was absorbed, in that instant, a powerful energy surge permeated his limbs and bones; every cell was screaming frantically.
Amidst the energy surge, Tian Ming felt an extremely strong cramping sensation in his chest, and the immense pain made him suddenly jolt.
The scene before his eyes quickly receded; Lord Li was still bound by the carbon fibers, and in his eyes, a faint blue light was staring at him.
And the sharp blade formed by the guarding leader's hand had directly pierced his chest.
Even the armor formed by the Nanometer Avatars did not block the guarding leader's sharp blade.
Everything that had just happened was an illusion.
All the Nanometer Avatars had also fallen into the illusion with him, losing their ability to fight and counterattack.
