Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1308 Star Sea (113)

Superpower user!

The scene in front of him made Mu Haitao feel like he’d seen a ghost.

As an A-level War Professional, he was no stranger to superpowers, and had even witnessed a variety of special abilities.

But in Mu Haitao’s view, these abilities were at most amusing, their combat effectiveness not even as good as a particle pistol.

It wasn’t until now that he realized how shallow his understanding was!

The extraordinary abilities Wang Chen displayed were unheard of by Mu Haitao, and were ridiculously strong.

However, despite the shock, the will of this Imperial Army major was not broken. He threw away the pistol with an empty chamber, twisted his body sharply into the air, and kicked his left leg at Wang Chen again.

Mu Haitao’s move was still quite impressive.

The next moment, however, he felt the world spin around him, instantly losing control of his body, and then he crashed heavily to the floor, his body colliding with the metal ground with a dull thud.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Wang Chen held Mu Haitao’s right ankle and swung the eighty-kilogram A-level War Professional, then slammed him down again.

Once, twice, three times!

Despite Mu Haitao’s robust physique, after three rounds of swings, his entire skeletal structure was nearly shattered, his internal organs were severely impacted, leaving him dazed and enfeebled.

Completely lost the ability to resist!

"Commander!"

At this moment, the warriors guarding the hallway rushed in.

Before they could raise their weapons at Wang Chen, they were knocked unconscious to the ground by an invisible force.

"Stop, stop."

Mu Haitao, who was thrown to the ground by Wang Chen, struggled a bit and weakly said, "I, I surrender."

He had no choice but to surrender. Wang Chen’s strength was too formidable, even overturning his common sense, an opponent he simply couldn’t contend with. Holding out stubbornly would only result in massive casualties.

At least Wang Chen hadn’t killed anyone yet — which meant there was still a chance for negotiation.

Seeing Mu Haitao relent, Wang Chen retracted his spiritual energy.

He pulled up a chair and sat down.

Mu Haitao struggled to get up, looking at Wang Chen with a complex gaze: "Who, who are you really?"

"Wang Chen, Chief Consultant of the Imperial Superpower Management Bureau."

"Super Ability Management Bureau?"

Mu Haitao’s eyes became bewildered: "Is there such a department?"

Wang Chen took out a cigarette and lit it: "Just established."

"I see." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Mu Haitao gave a bitter smile: "Can I have a cigarette?"

He exerted all his strength to sit on the chair opposite Wang Chen, engaging in a face-to-face conversation to maintain his last shred of dignity.

Wang Chen nodded and handed over the whole pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Since the other party was being sensible, he didn’t want a bloody confrontation, after all, they were all part of the Empire and faced the threat of the Nether Tribe together.

"Thank you."

Mu Haitao accepted the cigarettes and lighter, regaining some strength.

"Chief Mu!"

At this moment, another group of fully armed warriors rushed up the command tower.

"I’m fine!"

Mu Haitao quickly stopped their actions, loudly saying: "It was just a misunderstanding, take them away for treatment, don’t worry about anything else."

The newly arrived warriors hesitated, as the scene didn’t seem like a misunderstanding.

Mu Haitao shouted fiercely: "Execute the order!"

Facing such a powerful superpower user, having more soldiers was meaningless. He had no doubt Wang Chen could kill everyone in an instant if he wanted to.

So under Mu Haitao’s stern command, the soldiers could only carry away the unconscious personnel, leaving Mu Haitao alone to face Wang Chen.

Mu Haitao lit a cigarette, taking two deep puffs, and exhaled deeply: "I haven’t tasted this in ages."

Wang Chen chuckled: "As the leader of this base, you don’t even have a pack of cigarettes?"

"There are no cigarettes in the base’s reserves."

Mu Haitao gave a bitter smile: "The little we gathered from outside, I redistributed to others."

To maintain the stability of the base, he did everything he could, making significant sacrifices to ensure fairness.

Instead of ruling the survivors like a tyrant.

Wang Chen shook his head and asked: "Are they still alive?"

"Seven people, all alive!"

Mu Haitao said solemnly: "They are Imperial Army soldiers, so am I. I will not aim my gun at fellow comrades!"

"However, to keep everyone unaware of the situation beyond the planet, I temporarily confined them in the cell."

Wang Chen was curious: "Why?"

Mu Haitao was silent.

After a moment, he finally replied: "This question I cannot answer, nor do I want to fabricate a reason to deceive you. It doesn’t matter if you kill me, but don’t punish the others."

"I’ll take full responsibility for everything!"

After a pause, this Imperial Army major continued: "Xu Chengzhi’s special task force was attacked by the Nether Tribe Hunter shortly after landing."

"Their weapons and equipment had already failed, without our rescue, not a single one would have survived."

"For this, we sacrificed five comrades!"

"Chief Wang..."

Mu Haitao gazed at Wang Chen: "I’m not saying this to take credit, just hoping that you, seeing as we saved them, could take some survivors off this planet when you return."

"As for me personally, do as you wish!"

Wang Chen laughed.

Truthfully, if talking in terms of merit, Mu Haitao was at most slightly at fault for restricting the freedom of Xu Chengzhi and his team. Balancing the merits and demerits, the merits far outweighed the faults, and he was actually worthy of commendation.

Yet he displayed such a sacrificial mindset, which was very intriguing!

In fact, Wang Chen had already guessed a few reasons.

This Imperial Army major, nine out of ten, had joined the rebellion, and his deliberate concealment of Outer Domain information from the survivors, willing to be executed by Wang Chen without explaining why, must have an extremely significant plot.

It wasn’t difficult to guess his plot.

But Wang Chen didn’t directly expose it, instead, he stood and said: "Take me to see them."

"Okay."

Mu Haitao immediately extinguished his cigarette and stood up as well.

By now, he was almost fully recovered.

The cells holding Xu Chengzhi and others were just below the command tower, accessible by elevator.

After some twists and turns, Wang Chen finally saw his mission target.

To be honest, Wang Chen did not expect that the first thing he’d see upon meeting Xu Chengzhi was him playing chess with someone.

Moreover, that someone was a young and beautiful girl!

"She is my daughter, Mu Zhenzhen."

Mu Haitao said expressionlessly: "She’s nineteen this year."

Wang Chen couldn’t help but glance at him.

Was this some sort of beauty trap?

And Xu Chengzhi, who was confined, did not look like a prisoner at all. He was playing chess and chatting with Mu Zhenzhen, filling the air with the sickly sweet scent of romance.

Until Mu Haitao coughed loudly twice!
