ATDIWR Chapter 112

Chapter 112: Bring Them All Back? R Base? Clone Base?……

The Power Users from HSD who were monitoring Feng Jiancheng and the others were stunned. They had completely failed to predict that Gu Jinsheng, who was in R Base just minutes ago, would appear in their HSD just a few minutes later.

These monitoring Power Users looked at the surrounding shops filled with local residents taking photos and didn’t know what to do.

“Should we make a move?”

“There are so many people here. If we start fighting, we will definitely harm our own people.”

“Then what should we do? Just watch Gu Jinsheng take them away? Commander Charles will kill us!”

Thinking of the irritable Charles, the few monitors shuddered. They immediately contacted Charles, “Commander Charles, it’s bad, Gu Jinsheng has appeared in our base!”

“How is that possible!” Charles instinctively said.

Just a few minutes ago, he was watching Kobayashi Ichiro’s live stream and saw Gu Jinsheng appear.

Charles had always thought that Gu Jinsheng had taken a plane and infiltrated R Base in advance, and that Kobayashi Ichiro was a useless waste who hadn’t managed the base well, leading to a traitor appearing and letting Gu Jinsheng sneak in.

As for the information Gu Jinsheng posted on the terminal, Charles thought Gu Jinsheng had sent a plane to pick up people, so the entire HSD airspace was completely locked down, ensuring that not even a fly could get in. He had no idea how Gu Jinsheng suddenly appeared inside the HSD Base.

But now wasn’t the time to investigate how Gu Jinsheng got in, Charles ordered, “Send me the address, I’ll rush over right away. Before that, you must keep Gu Jinsheng here for me.”

“But, there are many residents from our base here. If we start fighting, our base residents might get hurt.”

Charles roared, “No matter what the cost, you must keep him here for me! No matter what the cost, do you understand?”

“Understood,” the monitor replied. Just as they were about to make a move, his companion suddenly said in horror, “Cap, Captain, Gu Jinsheng’s hovercar is gone!”

“What!” The captain looked up and saw that the hovercar in the sky was indeed no longer there.

At this moment, his phone was still on a call with Charles, and he hadn’t even had time to hang up before the Jing Shi Base’s vehicle was gone.

“Commander Charles, Gu Jinsheng’s hovercar has disappeared!”

Charles was furious, he was raging, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

“Yes, yes. Gu Jinsheng and them came to our base in a hovercar, suddenly appeared, and suddenly disappeared.”

Charles just felt that these monitors at his base had gone crazy. Those monitors also felt like they were going crazy. What on earth was going on? Who could tell them!

On the hovercar, Feng Jiancheng was so excited he couldn’t control himself. He looked at Gao Wanli and said, “I know you, you are Gao Wanli. Commander Gu, did you really just come from R Base?”

Thunder Dragon flew over, circling in the air. Its large red eyes looked at Feng Jiancheng, “Of course. What’s so surprising about that? Why are you people who live in other bases so ignorant, such bumpkins?”

Feng Jiancheng looked at Thunder Dragon and was even more stunned, “It, is it talking to me?”

Feng Jiancheng and the others couldn’t understand what Thunder Dragon was saying, but they could roughly guess from Thunder Dragon’s expression.

Thunder Dragon was the concretization of Gu Jinsheng’s ability; it shouldn’t be able to talk. Ji An directly changed the subject and said, “Do you know where else there are many of us Xia people? We can go over now and pick them up.”

Feng Jiancheng said, “I know there’s a Xia people street in HSD. This time, many people thought you wouldn’t come, so they didn’t go to the coordinates.”

Ji An said, “Send me the location, and we’ll go there now.”

Feng Jiancheng sent the location to Ji An. He felt like he had just sent it when Ji An on the other side said, “We’re here.”

Feng Jiancheng looked up again and found that they were really on Xia people street.

“How, how did this happen?”

Ji An said, “Let’s go down and call everyone. We’ll explain everything together once everyone is here.”

When Feng Jiancheng appeared on Xia people street, their neighbors looked at him indifferently and said, “Why are you back so quickly? Did you realize that Jing Shi Base can’t come for now, so you didn’t go to the location on the terminal at all?”

Although Feng Jiancheng himself didn’t know how he was back in the blink of an eye, he still pretended to be calm, as if nothing was unusual, and pointed outside, “If you want to return to Xia Country, then quickly pack your things and go. The Jing Shi Base’s vehicle is outside.”

“What?” All the Xia people on the street came out to look. When they realized it was really the Jing Shi Base’s vehicle, these people quickly went back to pack their things.

But because they weren’t prepared, they had lived here for seven years and had too many things to pack up all at once.

At this time, Kong Zhongcheng said, “We can help you pack up all your things, including the furniture at home, but you have to pay us a little for our hard work, not much. One thousand credit points per household.”

Everyone asked about the exchange rate between Jing Shi Base credit points and materials, found the price was very reasonable, and all agreed.

Kong Zhongcheng then led a dozen Power Users from Jing Shi Base to quickly pack up these people’s homes.

Sun Qiang was among them. He thought they would have to fight a big battle upon arriving at R Base and HSD Base. He never dreamed it would be like this, and that he could even make a small windfall. They were like bandits entering a village, they didn’t even need to ask the owners if they wanted their things taken; they just put them into the spatial storage items. They almost packed up the mice in the owners’ homes too.

When they left, the neighbors came to see, good heavens, they had directly dismantled the houses, how come the doors were gone?

After that, Ji An again operated the hovercar to all the coordinates and picked up all the Xia people who could be reached, of course including Godfrey’s family.

At first, Godfrey was a little hesitant. Ji An persuaded, “You secretly opened the base’s protective shield to let me in, Charles will definitely find out, and your whole family will die then.”

“Come to our Jing Shi Base, and I guarantee you will not regret it.”

Godfrey said, “Please tell me the truth, those technologies online…”

“They are only more miraculous than described online, never worse,” Ji An said. “You can see from the hovercar we used to pick people up today the level of technological development in Jing Shi Base. I can guarantee you that you will not regret coming to Jing Shi Base. Jing Shi Base will definitely go further and further.”

“Okay,” Godfrey was finally persuaded by Ji An and followed Ji An to Jing Shi Base. For the rest of his life, he constantly rejoiced in the decision he made that day.

Ji An and Gu Jinsheng also went to other small bases in M Country to pick up people. Those small bases seemed to have watched the live streams online before. As soon as Ji An and the others arrived, they respectfully sent out all the Xia people in the base.

There were even base commanders who expressed their desire to purchase the legendary divine artifacts online from Gu Jinsheng, which Gu Jinsheng politely refused, saying they could discuss it later.

This trip to pick up people was so smooth it felt like a joke.

Charles himself had suffered a defeat at Gu Jinsheng’s hands this time, and with nowhere to vent his pent-up anger, he killed a few followers before making a video call to Dewitt.

Dewitt couldn’t help but tremble when he saw Charles’s video request.

Dewitt ultimately didn’t have the guts to refuse Charles’s video call and finally answered it.

Charles’s spittle seemed to spray onto Dewitt’s face through the screen. He was like a volcano about to erupt.

“Trash! Didn’t you say this plan was foolproof? Why did it still fail? And you let Gu Jinsheng take all the Xia people away!”

Dewitt was very wronged. He was trash, he was useless, Charles was powerful, but hadn’t Charles also let Gu Jinsheng take the Xia people from HSD?

Dewitt couldn’t help but retort, “Commander Charles, the Xia people from HSD Base were also taken away. You should know this was an accident. No one expected Jing Shi Base to actually have a hovercar, and such a fast one!”

Charles was already seething with anger and didn’t expect Dewitt to dare to talk back to him. It sounded like Dewitt was accusing him of being as useless as them.

Charles violently unleashed an ability towards Dewitt on the spot. Fortunately, this was a video call, and only the phone was broken. If Dewitt had been face-to-face with Charles at that moment, he would have been dead.

Dewitt hung up the video call with lingering fear and asked his assistant beside him, “Have you contacted Kobayashi Ichiro?”

The assistant worriedly said, “Not yet. Watching the live stream, Kobayashi Ichiro seems to have been planted with a mental suggestion by a commander from Jing Shi Base. I’m afraid things aren’t looking good.”

As the two were talking, the video on the assistant’s phone suddenly showed it was connecting. The assistant suddenly rejoiced and said, “Commander Dewitt, Kobayashi Ichiro doesn’t seem to be dead!”

Dewitt said, “I knew it. Xia Country people can’t have a Mental-type Power User with such strong mental power. It must be a trick they put on themselves.”

Just as Dewitt finished speaking, the video connected, and Kobayashi Ichiro’s face appeared on the screen.

Dewitt said, “I knew it was just a little trick by Jing Shi Base. Even if you are useless, you are still a max-level Power User. Jing Shi Base doesn’t even have a max-level Power User, how could they easily put a mental suggestion on you!”

“Kobayashi Ichiro, I order you to go online and live stream now, tell everyone that Jing Shi Base is a liar, they didn’t control you mentally at all!”

Kobayashi Ichiro in the video suddenly smiled at Dewitt. His smile was very strange, making Dewitt feel a chill.

Kobayashi Ichiro said, “Dewitt, take a good look at who I am?”

Kobayashi Ichiro’s tone in the video was completely different from the previous Kobayashi Ichiro. The previous Kobayashi Ichiro was Dewitt’s lapdog, wagging his tail whenever he saw Dewitt, but the current Kobayashi Ichiro not only lacked that obsequiousness and flattery but also seemed to have some hatred in him.

Dewitt looked carefully at Kobayashi Ichiro’s face in the video. It was exactly the same as usual, with no difference at all, he couldn’t see anything different. Dewitt couldn’t help but get angry, he said furiously, “Kobayashi Ichiro, I don’t have time to play games with you!”

Kobayashi Ichiro was still smiling, but there was an inexplicable strangeness to that smile. Kobayashi Ichiro said, “Dewitt, look carefully at my face again now!”

Dewitt suddenly found that Kobayashi Ichiro’s face seemed to be changing, little by little becoming younger, and his appearance also changed somewhat.

Dewitt rubbed his eyes incredulously. When he looked at the person in the video again, the person in the video had completely changed. It was a younger face. Dewitt recognized this face, because he had previously instructed Kobayashi Ichiro to have a clone with this face go to Jing Shi Base to seduce Ji An.

Dewitt felt the hairs on his entire body stand up, a chill ran straight up his spine from the soles of his feet, “You, you are a clone?”

Kobayashi Ichiro in the video laughed again. At the same time, many people who looked exactly like Kobayashi Ichiro appeared beside him.

Kobayashi Ichiro said, “Dewitt, let’s formally introduce ourselves. My name is Wang Dazhi, I am a clone. From now on, I will be the commander of R Base. From now on, R Base will be a base of clones. There will be no viviparous humans here!”

“Welcome Dewitt to be our guest at R Base. At the same time, I hope you guard T Base and M Base well, because soon, they will become our second and third bases for clones.”

It wasn’t until the video communication was hung up that Dewitt realized he was covered in cold sweat. Sweat soaked his shirt, and Dewitt looked like he had been washed in water.

The assistant also looked horrified, “What should we do? Commander, R Base seems to have been completely occupied by clones!”

When they first created clones, Dewitt had never thought that one day they would be killed by the life they created!

Charles of HSD Base didn’t know the situation at R Base. He was still unable to vent the anger in his heart from not truly harming Dewitt. His one eye was bloodshot with rage, it seemed like his good eye was about to shed blood.

Thinking of Dewitt’s words, Charles couldn’t help but open his terminal to check the comments online, and then discovered that the entire internet was asking about the hovercar.

The video of Gu Jinsheng picking people up was already spreading rapidly online.

Now everyone knew that Jing Shi Base had a flying hovercar. That vehicle was extremely fast, so fast that it could fly from Asia to Europe in the blink of an eye, and it seemed like it wouldn’t take long to fly around the entire Earth.

Now M Country people were leaving messages online asking what kind of vehicle that hovercar was, and if their M Country had one.

Because M Country had always been suppressing Xia Country online, denying various products made by Xia Country for so long. M Country residents had often mocked Xia Country people as liars and attention seekers.

But this time, Jing Shi Base’s sudden appearance of the hovercar, entering R Country and HSD and other major bases as if entering no man’s land, took away all the Xia people in the bases, while R Base and HSD Base were completely powerless to resist.

Even netizens who were fools started to realize that something was wrong. They frantically @’d the HSD Command asking if M Country had such an amazing hovercar, and if so, why didn’t they use it.

In fact, M Country didn’t have one. Before this, Charles didn’t even know that hovercars existed in the world.

Charles became so agitated he lost his wits, bloodbathing a floor of staff before calming down again.

When Sun Qiang’s feet touched the ground of Jing Shi Base, he still felt a sense of unreality, as if he was still dreaming.

He walked towards the command center and met the friend he had entrusted his last will to before leaving.

His friend was greatly surprised to see Sun Qiang and asked, “Sun Qiang, why are you still at the command center? Didn’t you go? I saw online that Commander Gu and the others seem to have reached R Base.”

Sun Qiang had no expression, he reached out to his friend, “Where is the letter I gave you?”

His friend was bewildered, not knowing why Sun Qiang had this expression, but still returned the letter he had treasured in his jacket pocket to Sun Qiang.

Then Sun Qiang tore up the letter and even ate it.

His friend looked at Sun Qiang as if he were mentally ill, “Are you crazy!”

Sun Qiang felt that he was the one who was crazy for writing that tear-jerking last will back then. If someone saw that last will, he would definitely be socially dead.

What going through life and death together, what fighting to the death, it was all his imagination. He just went out for a ride on a hovercar!

Suddenly, Sun Qiang’s friend heard a commotion outside. He leaned out and looked down from the command center building, seeing Gu Jinsheng and Ji An receiving cheers from the entire command center, along with many unfamiliar figures.

Sun Qiang’s friend finally seemed to realize something. He stupidly asked, “Could it be that you’re back from a mission?”

Sun Qiang said, “Didn’t you check the terminal?”

Sun Qiang’s friend said, “I had work, I was busy just now, and you came to find me just after I finished.”

In the square of the command center, everyone was screaming, boiling, and cheering.

Red flags fluttered in the wind, and the inspiring national anthem played in the square.

“Long live! Long live! Long live Xia Country! Long live Jing Shi Base!!!”

“Long live! Long live! Long live Xia Country! Long live Jing Shi Base!!!”

“Long live! Long live! Long live Xia Country! Long live Jing Shi Base!!!”

Everyone was shouting. Such an intense atmosphere couldn’t help but infect the Xia people who had just returned. They had tears in their eyes and followed the shouts of “Long live!”, singing praises to their motherland!

Gu Jinsheng and Ji An exchanged glances, also moved by the passionate atmosphere.

Ji An tightly held Gu Jinsheng’s hand and shouted loudly, “Jinsheng, Jing Shi Base will get better and better! One day, everyone will know that being a Xia Country person is our greatest pride and fortune!”

Gu Jinsheng looked back at Ji An, “I believe you. You are the salvation of Jing Shi Base, the hope of humanity! With you here, Xia Country will definitely develop better and better!”

As for the talents who were brought back, after a seven-day quarantine, they registered their identities and were released, free to move around the base.

And it was only at this moment that they truly realized what kind of paradise they had arrived in.

Jing Shi Base was exactly the same as before The Apocalypse. Street food stalls were everywhere, selling everything. This wasn’t the most important thing. The most important thing was that those buying delicious food at these stalls were mainly minors.

Gao Wanli exclaimed, “How do these children have so many credit points? Is it okay for them to eat and drink so much? Won’t they get scolded by their parents if they find out?”

The stall owner was clearly accustomed to this question. He directly asked, “Are you guys new from another base? If you stay in our base for a while, you’ll know. Our base is different from other bases, people in our base don’t have the concept of hunger.”

Gao Wanli and the others’ eyes widened, only thinking that the stall owner was bragging. This was The Apocalypse! If there was no hunger in The Apocalypse, what would it be?

The stall owner looked at the few people strangely and asked, “Why do you seem to disbelieve it? Didn’t you join our base for the nutrient solution? You should know that nutrient solution, which is impossible to buy outside, only costs a few credit points or over a dozen credit points per dose in our base. Even a month’s supply of nutrient solution only costs a couple hundred yuan per dose.

But everyone doesn’t eat that, unless they go out on missions they might bring a few doses.”

Feng Jiancheng swallowed, asking, “So, what was said online is all true? We have treatments here for broken legs that even Healing-type Power Users can’t heal, and spatial storage items that ordinary people can use but have larger storage space than Space-type Power Users?”

“Of course,” the stall owner looked at Feng Jiancheng and the others strangely, “Which base are you from? How can you ask such common sense questions? Didn’t you join our base because of these technologies? Could it be that you still believe the idiotic comments on foreign websites? Who doesn’t know that foreigners deliberately smear our base online to suppress us? Unfortunately, our base is only developing better and better.”

Gao Wanli and Feng Jiancheng and the others who had just been brought back from abroad, only at this moment truly realized that their motherland had developed to an unimaginable degree in the short seven years they were away.

The stall owner continued, “Didn’t you watch the live stream? When our base went to R Country and HSD to pick people up, Commander Gu drove that hovercar. It was incredibly fast, zooming! It went to several bases in the blink of an eye. Have you ever seen a car that fast and can fly before?”

The stall owner was proud, saying smugly, “Do I need to say anything else? That hovercar represents the technological level of our base.”

Gao Wanli was a researcher. He had heard Ji An briefly introduce the hovercar, oh no, it should be called a floating car.

The technical principle of the floating car originated from the abilities of Space Power Users, utilizing the technology of spatial teleportation.

Gao Wanli was completely confused at the time, and it wasn’t until others explained it that he realized Ji An had also used the spatial teleportation ability of a Space Power User to rescue Luo City Base.

He also learned that in addition to storing things, the spatial ability of Space Power Users could have other uses.

Gao Wanli sighed, “Returning to the country, I finally understand what it means for a bumpkin to enter the city!”

Feng Jiancheng also sighed, “Fortunately, we came back. Otherwise, by the next time we come back, our country might have already entered the interstellar age.”

Gao Wanli said, “I’m going to record the life in Jing Shi Base now, to let those who are still living under the deception of Kobayashi Ichiro and Charles know what level of technology Jing Shi Base has developed to now. That’s a speed M Country can’t catch up to even with a rocket.”
