Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1305 Star Sea (110)
Chapter 1305: Chapter 1305 Star Sea (110)
A group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded Wang Chen, with the dark muzzles of their guns aimed at his vitals.
There was no sign of excitement from seeing a fellow compatriot on their faces, only deep vigilance and suspicion, and even a hint of hidden malice.
Faced with their questioning, Wang Chen calmly replied, "From up above."
"Up above?"
The questioning middle-aged man was momentarily stunned: "Which base? What are you doing here?"
"D01359 Base."
Wang Chen looked deeply at the man and replied again, "I’m here looking for someone."
The middle-aged man was even more surprised: "D01359 Base? Where are you getting all that supply from?"
He glanced at the gas stove, cookware, and uneaten food before Wang Chen, and couldn’t help but swallow: "Has D01359 Base’s self-sufficient farm resumed operations?"
Wang Chen chuckled, "Want to have some?"
Two of them were tempted; after all, the aroma of hot pot was incredibly enticing, a nearly irresistible temptation for people who had long been eating nutritional dry rations.
"No need."
The middle-aged man’s will was evidently strong, shaking his head without being moved: "We’re here to collect supplies."
In his view, the enigma surrounding Wang Chen wasn’t worth the risk, and he had an uneasy feeling about it.
If it weren’t for wanting to know Wang Chen’s background, the middle-aged man would have acted directly!
Wang Chen curiously asked, "Where do you come from?"
These fellows didn’t look like good people, so he withheld his true origin, trying to grasp their background first.
The middle-aged man exchanged a glance with his companion, step by step approaching Wang Chen, while his attitude began to grow more aggressive: "Get up and come with us, you’ll find out soon enough; it’s not safe here!"
He stared at Wang Chen intensely, ready to fight at a moment’s notice.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chen responded readily: "Alright."
He stood up, picking up his backpack.
There was no need to recover the tent and stove on the ground, as the supplies stored within the Starry Seas Ring were so plentiful that they could supply thousands of people without issue.
A young man stepped forward and extended his hand towards Wang Chen: "Give me your bag!"
In his eyes, there was an involuntary gleam of greedy excitement.
Wang Chen sneered, "Who do you think you are?"
This remark instantly provoked the group, prompting the five, including the middle-aged man, to change their expressions, with some even raising their weapons again, aiming them at Wang Chen.
"Courting death!"
The young man attempting to snatch the bag swung his assault rifle, preparing to smash Wang Chen’s head with the butt.
The next moment, they all suddenly felt an invisible force press down, forcing each one to kneel, nearly shattering their kneecaps upon impact.
Meanwhile, the weapons in their hands flew uncontrollably forward, landing behind Wang Chen!
"Ah!"
Cries of pain echoed five-fold!
Wang Chen smiled: "Forgot to tell you, I most dislike having guns pointed at my head."
The middle-aged man’s face twisted painfully, yet he tried his best to remain calm, asking in a trembling voice, "Who... who exactly are you?"
"Don’t worry about who I am for now."
Wang Chen took out a photo of Xu Chengzhi and others, presenting it before them: "Could you please take a look? Have you encountered any of these individuals?"
Saying this, he released the Psychic Power imposed on them.
Talking nicely and acting tough, Wang Chen hadn’t intended to get physical, but the other party insisted on causing trouble, leaving him no choice but to speak with his fists.
Having regained his freedom, the middle-aged man gasped, hesitating to stand, nervously accepting the photos with shaking hands, sweat beading on his forehead.
The moment he laid eyes on Xu Chengzhi’s photo, his pupils contracted briefly, before he nonchalantly moved on to the second photo. freёwebnoѵel.com
Wang Chen patiently waited for the man to finish looking through all the photos, then asked: "So, how is it?"
The middle-aged man’s expression stiffened as he shook his head: "I’m sorry, I’ve never seen them."
Wang Chen couldn’t help but smile: "You’re lying."
The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly, revealing a look of humiliation: "If you insist I’m lying, then kill me!"
"Though I don’t know what you’re trying to hide..."
Wang Chen said coolly, "I do believe you’re a tough guy, but do you think all four of them are just like you?"
He gestured to the other four still kneeling nearby.
The next moment, Wang Chen reached out and grasped the air, a fallen assault rifle was instantly drawn into his hand.
This miraculous scene widened everyone’s eyes.
Wang Chen toyed with the weapon in his hand.
The rifle was an "ancient" model, using "primitive" gunpowder to fire bullets during attacks, different in design from Wang Chen’s own firearm, but with essentially the same principle.
Moreover, its manufacturing craftsmanship wasn’t crude.
Tampas Star had been overrun for only three years, and the peculiar energy radiation had affected this planet for even less time, just within half a year, the Empire’s survivors had adapted to the new environment to develop suitable weapons; their technical ability was truly commendable.
Wang Chen lifted the rifle, aiming at the youngest-looking man nearby.
The latter’s face changed drastically, instinctively wanting to retreat but unable to move, trembling and pleading: "Don’t, don’t kill me, whatever you want to know, I can tell you!"
Wang Chen directed a significant smile at the middle-aged man.
In shame and anger, the middle-aged man growled: "Wu Xiaotian, you’ll get us all killed!"
The young man hung his head in shame, tears streaming down: "I... I don’t want to die."
"As long as you cooperate, no one will die."
Wang Chen said: "Let me introduce myself; I’m Wang Chen, the chief advisor for the Imperial Superpower Management Bureau, tasked this time to carry out a mission on Tampas Star."
The middle-aged man quivered: "You... you’re sent by the Empire?"
Wang Chen nodded: "That’s right, now let me ask you again, have you seen the people in the photos?"
"I suggest you think carefully, I won’t ask the same question a third time!"
The middle-aged man involuntarily shivered and replied dejectedly: "I’ve seen them."
He realized he was no match for Wang Chen.
To die is simple, but to die without meaning is worthless.
"There you go."
Wang Chen smiled: "Now you answer my questions truthfully, I promise not to harm any of you."
"Moreover..."
He paused, offering an irresistible condition: "I can also take you out of Tampas Star!"
Wang Chen’s words carried immense weight, instantly shattering everyone’s mental defenses!
