Chapter 28, Lesson 1 of Life: Forgetting Your Roots!
"Now, let's begin!"
"Remember, our primary objective is to 'reclaim' the Wish, assess its threat level and controllability. Avoid escalating the conflict unless absolutely necessary. However, if resistance is encountered… I authorize you to use all necessary means to ensure control!"
At Zhao Guoqiang's command, the special forces team inside the military vehicle sprang into action, weapons in hand, and rushed out of the vehicle.
The other high-ranking military personnel present, however, were immediately intrigued.
"It's actually the Dragon Soul Special Forces?"
Upon hearing this, Beiwei was also startled.
Dragon Soul Special Forces Team, the most elite secret special operations team in the Great Xia Dynasty, bar none!
The entire team consists of the best of the best soldiers!
But this special operations team is not known for that, but for the cutting-edge equipment they use.
The equipment they used was all cutting-edge weaponry, representing the most advanced technology currently available in Great Xia!
For example, the rifle in the hand of one of the team members is the latest individual weapon of the Great Xia Dynasty - the electromagnetic sniper rifle!
Silent, no fire, no spent cartridges!
The bullet can easily penetrate a 12-centimeter steel plate!
Top-notch combat skills paired with cutting-edge weaponry...
Bevy looked worried.
However, she wasn't worried about Xu Yuan, but rather about these special operations soldiers.
Based on his impression of Xu Yuan's terrifying strength, there was absolutely no way he could lose to this Dragon Soul team.
Why would she need to look for a savior? Why not just go directly to the Dragon Soul Squad?
Her concern was that Xu Yuan might accidentally kill someone, which would be a serious matter.
Even if this Dragon Soul team accidentally hurts Xu Yuan's family...
Just imagining the potential consequences sent chills down Beiwei's spine!
The wish that you worked so hard to obtain could very well be pushed to the opposite side of humanity!
"General Zhao! Stop your actions immediately! You have no idea what the consequences will be!"
"I can't contain my anger!" Bevy shouted.
Unfortunately, Zhao Guoqiang ignored Bei Wei's reminder.
The same applies to other high-ranking military personnel attending the meeting.
Although the scientific and technological achievements submitted by Bevy have proven the doomsday theory.
But they remained skeptical of Xu Yuan—the savior Bevy spoke of.
Especially for an army that adheres to collectivism—God? How many divisions does God have?
Even if we wish we could withstand bullets from firearms, what about the most advanced electromagnetic weapons?
They watched as the Dragon Soul Special Forces team quickly disappeared into various parts of the Happiness Community.
Bevy's face was filled with despair and anger.
She never expected Zhao Guoqiang to be so stupid!
Even more unexpectedly, the other party dared to bypass him and attack Xu Yuan!
Now, even if she went to Xingfu Community immediately to stop it, it would be too late.
All she could do was take out her phone and send a warning message to Xu Yuan.
It's not that I'm afraid Xu Yuan will get hurt, but rather that I want to ensure that Xu Yuan won't be pushed into an opposing position!
Then, disregarding the fact that she was in a meeting, Bevy grabbed her Porsche car keys, which she hadn't touched for days, and rushed out of the study...
……
Happiness Community.
Xu Yuan had just finished packing her clothes and was preparing to move to the new house with Lao Xu and Xu Meng.
But when he pushed open the door and saw the large and small packages in Lao Xu's hands, Xu Yuan was filled with questions.
"...Old Xu, we don't need to bring those patched clothes, right? It's inappropriate to wear these kinds of clothes while living in a villa."
"You've forgotten your roots!" Old Xu looked at Xu Yuan with a pained expression. "Don't forget, you became famous because you came from a poor family. I have to maintain a persona for these clothes during my live streams!"
"This is experience from the martial arts world!"
Make a wish: ...
"So you want to do live streaming? Our family shouldn't be short of money from now on."
He has confirmed that the power of the Four Gods is gradually infecting the world.
We may be entering a completely new era for humanity.
Even if the bounty on those infected is low, it should be at least several hundred thousand, right?
But to everyone's surprise, Lao Xu's reaction was completely beyond Xu Yuan's expectations.
"Go ahead and broadcast! How come you're not short of money?" Old Xu counted on his fingers, his face full of heartache. "Three million was gone after buying the house. Your sister's tuition, property management fees, living expenses... everything costs money!"
"Dad knows you're all grown up now, and I can't help you with your affairs anymore, but I still have to earn money. I've only ever heard of people sponging off their parents, never sponging off their children!"
Xu Yuan fell silent.
As one's power grows stronger and gradually surpasses that of humans, one's mindset inevitably becomes affected.
He had the illusion more than once that he was a god looking down on all living beings.
Just like when he killed those Reformers, he, a graduate who had never even killed a chicken, was able to kill all of them without batting an eye...
Fortunately, Lao Xu and Xu Meng are still alive.
It was they who made me remember.
I... am still a human being!
A warm smile appeared on Xu Yuan's face.
"Okay, then let's take them all, we..."
Xu Yuan suddenly stopped speaking, and his brows furrowed.
hum...
A sense of being locked on, carrying a clear sense of malice, like a cold spider silk, gently stuck to his brow.
Almost at the same time.
"Ding-dong."
It's information from Bevy.
Xu Yuan glanced at the message on her phone screen and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Sure enough, some people couldn't sit still any longer!
Xu Yuan turned her head and glanced at Lao Xu and Xu Meng, her tone as calm as if she were going out to pick up a package.
"Old Xu, Xiao Meng, you two wait for me at home. I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
Although Xu Yuan's tone was very calm, as a seasoned veteran, he still sensed something was wrong. One hand subconsciously reached for the blade that he had been hiding in his pocket, while the other hand firmly protected Xu Meng behind his back.
Under Lao Xu's worried gaze.
Make a wish, open the door, walk out of the room, and close the door.
Then we arrived at the entrance of the building.
At this moment, the Happiness Community was deathly silent; even the sounds of cicadas and birds had disappeared.
Xu Yuan stood in front of the stairwell, looking at the stranger who appeared before her.
He wore a black combat uniform without any markings, his figure was as upright as a pine tree, and his eyes were sharp.
Just by standing there, you can smell the steely aura emanating from him.
"Mr. Xu Yuan?" the man spoke, his tone polite yet coldly hard. "We are here to request your cooperation in an investigation. Please come with us."
Xu Yuan didn't say anything.
He just shook his head.
His gaze then swept past the man and landed on the distant rooftop, his tone tinged with impatience.
"Tell the sniper on the rooftop that his sniper rifle is useless against me. Also, that guy outside the gate of the complex, he must be your superior, right?"
The man's pupils contracted instantly!
Is this their opponent this time?
"Fire!"
Almost the instant he opened his mouth, a faint, almost inaudible sound rang out from the distant rooftop.
That wasn't the roar of gunpowder weapons, but the sound of a special projectile tearing through the air after an electromagnetic coil is accelerated to its limit!
A specially designed projectile strikes directly at the center of the wisher's forehead!
Time seemed to slow down countless times at this moment.
In the top-secret meeting channel, the senior executives present stared intently at the live broadcast.
On the military vehicle, General Zhao also watched the live feed transmitted from the recorders carried by the special forces soldiers.
then.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xu Yuan remained unmoved as the bullet struck him between the eyebrows!
But before their eyes could fully turn to ecstasy, a scene that filled them with immense terror unfolded.
The bullet struck the center of the wisher's forehead.
But that's where it ends.
It felt like hitting an impregnable city wall.
The round projectile rotates continuously and is constantly flattened under the force of thrust.
Until finally it turned into a... pancake!
"Ding!"
With a soft thud, the bullet fell to the ground.
silence!
Deathly silence!
The cold expressions on the faces of the special forces soldiers on the scene shattered completely, leaving only horror and bewilderment.
Is this even human?
General, we are never afraid of powerful enemies.
But how can you fight if you can't break through their defenses?
The same applies to top-secret channels.
As high-ranking personnel with sufficient security clearance, they had all heard Bevy say that Wishing was the future savior, and extremely powerful.
Only now did they fully understand the despair Bevy felt when she spoke of the apocalypse and the anticipation she expressed when making a wish…
As for General Zhao inside the military vehicle...
He looked at the remote tactical device in his hand.
Xu Yuan's face appeared on the instrument screen—from the miniature tactical camera on the team member's body.
"You must be General Zhao? I've come to find you!"
After a moment of silence, General Zhao spoke.
"Alright, but please don't take your anger out on the soldiers. This is my order, and I will bear all the consequences."
He had barely finished speaking.
The sound of making a wish rang out again, but this time it came from outside the car window.
Through the bulletproof glass of the car window, he could clearly see General Zhao's suddenly changed expression inside the military vehicle.
"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me now?"
