Chapter 777 - 487: Rebellion (Part 2)
Before the bullets pierced through the air rushing towards Wang Zhifan’s head, he yelled loudly:
"Die! Scum!"
This clearly showed that his hatred for Wang Zhifan far exceeded others. It was finally time for him to vent.
However, in the face of the bullet assault, Wang Zhifan acted indifferently. He didn’t even pay attention to the mining leader who was still firing at him fiercely, but instead turned to look at the empty rock wall of the mine shaft and suddenly sneered:
"Heh, don’t hide anymore, come out together!"
But no one responded to Wang Zhifan’s strange-sounding words. Only the mining leader’s bullets continued to barrage him ferociously.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Bullets fired in rapid succession, hitting Wang Zhifan, but strangely, smoke was rising around him with no signs of injury on his body.
This situation appeared bizarre to everyone present. Everyone felt that their captain was extraordinary, except the mining leader, who grew angrier as his attack proved ineffective, throwing away his gun and charging forward in a mining mecha.
"So you’re a supernatural power user! I don’t believe you can’t be killed!"
In the mining leader’s angry words, it could be heard that he had lost his sanity, becoming a fool enslaved by rage.
"Pitiful creature... I was planning to keep you until the end of the month."
Seeing this, Wang Zhifan felt a bit of pity. He realized that this miner, who was somewhat clever in his memory, had now become very strange, undoubtedly influenced by some external force, driven to be used as a tool to test him.
But tools are often guilty too and need to be completely destroyed.
Boom!
In the eyes of everyone, they saw the mining leader, charging at Wang Zhifan in a mining mecha, explode violently like dense sand, with fragments scattering evenly across several meters of ground, dying very thoroughly and horrifically.
"He exploded?!"
"What happened!"
"Oh my god! Is this the captain’s supernatural power?!"
...
This shocking scene left everyone around speechless, whether it was the rebellious miners or the observing security captain, all for the first time witnessing the true power of their captain, feeling fear from the heart.
Because everyone could see that Wang Zhifan’s attack had no sign, no trajectory, almost impossible to defend against, and its power was astonishingly great, leaving them unable to think of a way to respond.
"Return to your respective workstations! I can overlook today’s incident! Otherwise, this person will be an example of breaking the rules!"
Seeing that he had achieved the purpose of intimidating everyone, Wang Zhifan directly spoke up, bringing an end to the farce.
In fact, he had already noticed signs of today’s incident, and the reason he hadn’t intervened to stop it was to see how far things could develop and what external forces would be involved.
But unfortunately, the enemy was more cautious than he anticipated, not easily revealing their true self, only driving a few lackeys to stage this crude act, testing him.
Upon hearing Wang Zhifan speak, everyone hurriedly fled disbanding, except for those security team members who felt somewhat awkward.
"Captain, our mecha and weapons have been locked and won’t activate."
They reported this helpless problem to Wang Zhifan. Originally, the rebellious mining leader might have known the solution, but now that he had turned into a pile of debris, they could only turn to Wang Zhifan for help.
"If they won’t activate, just leave them for now. The base will send someone to solve it. Remember not to delay work, and if any miner dares to slack off, report directly to me."
Wang Zhifan didn’t care about this. Up to now, he had become familiar with all aspects of the daily work. With the ability of "Dream Me Avatar," he didn’t need the security members’ assistance.
"Captain, we understand, we guarantee to complete the task!"
A security team member called Lawrence also came to Wang Zhifan’s side at this moment, taking the lead in assuring Wang Zhifan, his expression exceedingly loyal, a loyalty from the heart.
Without a doubt, Lawrence’s loyalty wasn’t because Wang Zhifan was particularly good to him, but because Lawrence understood how powerful the man in front of him was. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have maintained his stance in upholding Wang Zhifan’s authority during the previous predicament.
With the security team members, having weathered a big storm, quickly dispersing, the previous turmoil finally came to an end. But for Wang Zhifan, things were not over yet.
He first glanced at the mine floor, observing that the body remnants of the rebellious miner he had killed with his ice power appeared to be slowly sinking into the ground, and then he walked toward a side of the mine shaft’s stone wall.
In others’ eyes, the stone wall appeared empty, but in Wang Zhifan’s perception, it was not so. Two invisible figures were still lingering there, forced to stay by his ice power.
"Don’t think of escaping, you two. I’ll ask, and you will answer."
As he approached, Wang Zhifan spoke to the two people he had forcibly detained, with a chilling murderous intent, while slightly reducing the control of his ice power over them.
"Sir, there’s no need for us to be adversaries. Cooperation is the more rational choice. We can help you achieve any goal."
One of them immediately revealed herself from invisibility, appearing as a peculiar NPC with silver-white skin and eyes, looking at Wang Zhifan with great interest.
Beside her, there was another unimpressive short Caucasian male who also revealed himself, silently watching Wang Zhifan.
"Who are you two?"
Wang Zhifan did not recognize these two, so he asked.
"We are members of the Interstellar Freedom Organization, which has control over the entire mining base you are in, or rather, the entire K54 Prison Star is now under the jurisdiction of our Interstellar Freedom Organization."
The peculiar woman with silver-white skin and eyes immediately answered, her tone hinting at a mixture of pride.
"Heh... should I say you’ve seized control here through some means? Aren’t you afraid of reprisal from Kai Bo Group?"
Wang Zhifan’s eyes showed ridicule, not believing their statement.
"Sir, Kai Bo has long abandoned this dangerous planet. Otherwise, your superiors wouldn’t have sold it so easily."
The silver-white-skinned woman replied with a faint smile.
"Impossible, you’re lying to me!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhifan became alert. He clearly remembered the data stating that this planet was exclusively owned by the Kai Bo Group, not allowing outsiders to approach, so it couldn’t have been suddenly abandoned.
"Regarding these matters, you should judge for yourself, sir. What is important now is that our Interstellar Freedom Organization is very interested in you, hoping you can cooperate with our research work, or directly join us. Our organization greatly values individual freedom and technological advancement..."
The woman’s tone carried hints of enticement and threat, attempting to rely on the so-called power of the Interstellar Freedom Organization to intimidate him into changing his adversarial stance.
However, upon hearing her words, Wang Zhifan’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he said:
"I understand! So you are the true difficulty of this mission! Rest easy and go die now!"
With that, he instantly unleashed powerful ice power, turning the two standing before him into ice shards!
"Such weak strength, yet you still wanted to cooperate with me... Next, I shall assist the Kai Bo Group in regaining control over this base and even the planet."
Having instantly killed the two in front of him, Wang Zhifan’s mind cleared considerably, as he had already understood the nuances of this mission, recognizing the pivotal point that hindered players from clearing the stage.
It can be deduced that this mission does not test the players’ mining abilities, but rather their judgment.
The mission objectives required players to complete the performance tasks issued by the Kai Bo Group, but if players got entangled with the spies behind something like the Interstellar Freedom Group, the mission goals would become unattainable, unless the player had a spy identity.
Therefore, having a firm stance is crucial; a prison star that has slipped out of Kai Bo’s control does not meet the mission’s clearance requirements. It must be forcibly corrected, even if Kai Bo’s conduct appears more like that of the antagonist.
