140: Chapter 140 Airplanes for Energy

On one hand, they accelerated growth to speed up the birth rate, and on the other, they accelerated the feeding speed.

These people really are absolute beasts.

Zhou Tao pointed toward the massive equipment in the center:

"This is the Energy Center. By storing the God-given energy inside, our vessels can obtain kinetic energy. Furthermore, when the ships or shields are attacked, they will automatically consume energy to repair themselves."

"No wonder."

Chen Fan nodded. So the automatic repair of the invisible shields and the ships relied on this.

"Then what is this over here?" Chen Fan pointed toward the corner on the right.

"This side..."

Zhou Tao's eyes were full of fury:

"This is the superpower controller. Any equipment that uses God-given energy can be controlled using this machine.

The Self-Destruct attacks you encountered earlier were controlled by them using this machine. Initially, they only said it was monitoring equipment. I also only just found out that this thing can take over all control permissions."

Chen Fan shook his head repeatedly:

"Tsk tsk tsk, calling them beasts is actually giving them too much credit. Even beasts wouldn't do something like this."

"It's a pity we let them escape." Zhou Tao gritted his teeth, his eyes unconsciously glancing toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan shook his head. "They went through the Sacred Gate; who knows where they were teleported to."

"The Sacred Gate? Then there really is no way," Zhou Tao muttered to himself.

After scanning the area, Chen Fan walked straight toward the superpower controller.

"Can this thing be mass-produced?"

Zhou Tao shook his head. "This was made using the head of a previous generation Leviathan. Unless we can get another head, we can't make a second one."

Chen Fan nodded and stored the superpower controller into his space.

Since his aircraft carrier and planes would all be using the energy spat out by the Leviathan in the future, he absolutely had to have this controller in his hands.

Chen Fan's actions made Zhou Tao's brow twitch a few times.

However, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Chen Fan understood his concerns and smiled slightly:

"Rest assured, since I've spared your lives, I naturally have no interest in manipulating you into committing suicide."

"Understood. Something like this is definitely something you must keep in your own hands."

Zhou Tao breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward the Energy Center.

"The difficulty of making this isn't high. If you want it, you can take it too. We can just make another one later."

"Alright."

Chen Fan nodded and reached out to collect the Energy Center.

As for the reactor on the left, Chen Fan had no interest in it.

Zhou Tao walked straight forward and shut down the reactor.

"Let's go. Let's go see your Commander-in-Chief."

Chen Fan waved his hand and was the first to walk out the door.

He had already occupied the island, but the system had not yet issued the rewards.

Presumably, the most critical step was missing—killing the Commander-in-Chief.

The difficulty of the Superpower Metropolis dungeon was truly significant.

Even a cheater like Chen Fan had to enter many times and bring The Five Women to help before clearing it.

Presumably, the rewards obtained wouldn't be small.

The group walked down the central street. Along the way, many civilians hiding in their rooms pulled back a corner of their curtains to peek out secretly.

News traveled fast. In just this short while, they all knew what had happened in the city.

The matter of the Commander-in-Chief's faction secretly slaughtering civilians to feed the Divine Beast had also been exposed.

While everyone was filled with righteous indignation, they couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity.

Who are they? Why are they helping us?

Under the varied gazes of the crowd, Chen Fan and the others walked to the central plaza.

Chen Fan also saw the suspended Commander-in-Chief and the corpse of Army General Lin Hui.

Zhou Tao's arrival caused the noisy street to gradually fall silent.

The eyes of everyone looking at him became fervent.

"General Zhou!"

In the crowd, someone shouted loudly.

This shout was like a stone thrown into a lake, quickly stirring up a thousand waves and turning into a rising tide of voices.

"General Zhou!"

"General Zhou!"

"..."

Zhou Tao had a smile on his face as he pressed his hands down.

Instantly, the roaring noise came to an abrupt halt.

Zhou Tao took the megaphone handed over by a subordinate and cleared his throat:

"The former Commander-in-Chief and his henchmen have been eliminated."

"You are safe!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted again.

Especially some of the villagers who had come from far away to demand an explanation for the inexplicable disappearance of their family members; they were now streaming with tears.

"My son died so miserably! Waaaah, my poor son."

"Grandfather, may your soul in heaven rest in peace. General Zhou... has avenged you."

"Waaaah, my poor grandpa..."

"They kept us in the dark so cruelly. It turns out the Divine Beast was being fed with our lives all along."

Zhou Tao secretly wiped away a tear, finding it hard to face the crowd.

Taking a deep breath, he spoke again: "This person beside me is General Chen, who broke into the city to help us eradicate the heretics."

After saying that, he handed the megaphone to Chen Fan.

Chen Fan met the gazes of the thousands of civilians and took the megaphone.

His back straightened involuntarily as he raised the long saber in his hand:

"I mainly have three points to say."

"First: This General was invited by General Zhou to come and eliminate the traitors."

As he finished speaking, he swung his long saber, cutting the rope holding the Commander-in-Chief.

The Commander-in-Chief, who was suspended ten meters high, instantly fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Chen Fan gave a cold snort, and with a flash of his blade, he decapitated the Commander-in-Chief.

With a flick of his saber, the head flew toward the crowd.

"This traitor is dead!"

The civilians in the front row stared wide-eyed at the flying head, their eyes instantly overtaken by bloodlust.

"Smash his dog head!"

"Hit it! Smash it!"

"Damn it, don't step on it flat yet, leave a kick for me!"

"You in the front, give it an extra kick for my son!"

The crowd surged. Seeing the head roll to their feet, they gritted their teeth and stomped down hard.

Before long, the Commander-in-Chief's head had been trampled into mincemeat.

After venting their anger, the surrounding civilians looked at Chen Fan with deep respect in their eyes.

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

This way, the clearance evaluation should be even higher.

"Second: Your Divine Beast has been taken away by me. In the future, no one will ever be dragged away to feed it again."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd erupted once more.

Countless people cast grateful looks toward Chen Fan.

Chen Fan's move was equivalent to eliminating their future troubles.

With the Divine Beast gone, even if future rulers had similar ideas, they wouldn't be able to implement them.

However, quite a few people still had concerns in their minds.

If the Divine Beast was taken away, how would their technology develop in the future?

After the cheering, more and more people developed the same thought.

Seeing them quiet down, Chen Fan naturally understood their thoughts.

"Third: In the future, I will supply you with God-given energy through trade."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Seeing that Chen Fan looked approachable, someone gathered their courage and shouted:

"Then may I ask, General Chen, what do we need to trade with you? It won't still be human lives, will it?"

Chen Fan waved his hand and smiled: "Trade with planes. So, you'll have plenty to keep you busy in the future."

"Trade with planes?"

The man was stunned at first. After muttering a few words, he looked at the person beside him in disbelief.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers:

"Planes! We can trade planes for God-given energy? Not human lives?!!"
