479: Unfair, go alone to the final election site
The scorching sun shone brightly.
Yishan Base.
Inside a newly constructed house.
General Yang and all the high-ranking officials sat behind a long table.
In front of them were the eight currently existing evolvers of Yishan Base.
Among the eight summoned evolvers, Zhao Ling was wrapped in bandages, making him seem somewhat out of place.
Everyone's gaze still occasionally shifted between him and Nie Fangping.
Zhao Ling did indeed lose, but could it be said that Zhao Ling was weak?
It could only be said that Zhao Ling's opponent, this A Man named Fang Ping, was too abnormal!
"Ahem, the reason I called everyone here this time is to determine the ownership of the Savior candidate slot."
Among the many high-ranking officials, an old cadre next to General Yang stated the purpose to everyone.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone, including the other high-ranking officials, looked towards Nie Fangping.
The Savior candidate slot, it was clear in everyone's hearts who the person should be.
"Let General Yang announce it."
The old cadre looked at the White-Haired Old Man sitting in the middle.
After his words fell, the scene suddenly fell into silence.
"General Yang?"
"Hmm?" The White-Haired Old Man seemed to have just come back to his senses.
The Secretary (to Mei Jin) next to him reminded him, "You are to announce the final ownership of the Savior candidate slot."
"Oh, the final ownership of the slot..." General Yang heard the reminder, his cloudy gaze looking towards the most prominent figure in the crowd, Nie Fangping, and then glancing at Zhao Ling, who was covered in injuries.
After a long period of contemplation, the White-Haired Old Man said indifferently, "The Savior candidate slot belongs to Zhao Ling."
"Three days later, Kyoto will send a special plane to pick you up, Zhao Ling. Remember to be prepared during this time."
General Yang's words were very clear.
But everyone who heard them felt as if they had misheard.
The slot belongs to Zhao Ling?!
What's going on?
Didn't Fang Ping win?
Even the evolvers who originally supported Zhao Ling in the evolver team were confused at this moment.
"General Yang, did you perhaps say it wrong? The slot belongs to Zhao Ling?"
Seeing the surrounding gazes, the Secretary (to Mei Jin) next to him reminded the White-Haired Old Man.
"I didn't say it wrong."
This sentence, even more so, brought a suffocating silence, making everyone around instantly quiet.
"I'm old. When the Savior election officially begins, I will resign from my position." Finally, after leaving this sentence, General Yang, with his hands behind his back, stood up and left.
Seeing this scene, the people around shifted their gaze and it fell on Zhao Ling again.
"I didn't expect that Captain was already pre-selected..."
A team member behind him said, their tone somewhat strange.
"Then why hold a duel, it's a waste of time."
"And what? I only value strength, hmph... ridiculous."
Among the evolvers, some shook their heads speechlessly.
Their gazes towards Zhao Ling were once again covered with a different meaning.
And Zhao Ling himself, obviously, didn't expect this situation.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Nie Fangping, only to see that the other party was also looking over.
"You're quite lucky to have a woman and a father-in-law who care about you."
"Unlike me... I don't even have my only family."
Finally, he added in his heart, "If the System hadn't shown me the hope of resurrection, I would probably be a madman by now."
After leaving this sentence, Nie Fangping turned and left.
And Zhao Ling always frowned, he didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
He turned his head to look at the people from the other evolver teams next to him.
He saw that they also left, shaking their heads with a different look in their eyes.
Standing in the empty house.
Zhao Ling had clearly obtained the Savior candidate slot, but he felt a sense of oppression.
"This slot should have been his..."
"However, if I truly become one of the four Saviors, I will be worthy of this slot."
...
Yishan Base entrance.
Nie Fangping slowly arrived here.
Behind him followed some evolvers.
Originally, they were not familiar with Nie Fangping, and even had some hostility towards him because of Zhao Ling.
But after today's battle, everyone was deeply impressed by the other party.
They wanted to step forward to get closer, but because of Zhao Ling, they felt like they were all in the same boat.
"Fang Ping... are you leaving?"
Among the evolvers behind, one person asked.
Looking at the other party, Nie Fangping said casually, "Yes, it's time to go."
"Where are you going? Isn't staying in the base the best choice?" An evolver tried to persuade him.
As soon as he said this, someone next to him nudged him, giving him a look that said 'if you don't know how to talk, don't talk'.
In front of everyone, something that should have belonged to him was directly given to someone else.
Anyone with a bit of backbone would not stay and serve Yishan Base anymore.
"Brother Fang, where are you planning to go next?" Someone else asked.
"To participate in the Savior election."
"Participate in the Savior election?" The others looked at each other, "But didn't that candidate slot go to Zhao Ling? To participate in the final election, you must have a candidate slot."
"The slot was given to Zhao Ling, but the strength wasn't."
Nie Fangping walked towards the outside of the base, "I have the strength to compete for Savior, why can't I participate?"
"A slot cannot define everything."
As he finished speaking, Nie Fangping strode towards the outside of the base.
Seeing this scene, everyone around felt a sense of suffocation.
Witnessing injustice firsthand and being powerless to do anything about it felt truly bad.
"The location of the Savior election is Bear City in North America. How could Fang Ping possibly cross half the World and reach Bear City in less than ten days..."
Standing at the entrance of Yishan Base, looking at Nie Fangping in the distance, everyone couldn't help but murmur.
And Nie Fangping.
After he left Yishan Base and was out of people's sight, the gaze in his physical body became vacant.
With the consumption of a Swarm Larva, it was recycled into energy.
As early as when Yang Qianqian found General Yang, he had already guessed the final ownership of the slot.
As expected, it fell on Zhao Ling.
Facing this injustice, Nie Fangping looked at the sky above and could only say that it was Heaven's will, that Heaven was on Zhao Ling's side.
However, this did not prevent him from participating in the Savior election.
Now, he had the record of defeating Zhao Ling.
In Yishan Base, General Yang could have the final say and make his own decisions.
But in front of the entire World.
The final choice would still come down to strength.
With the record of defeating Zhao Ling as a foundation, upon arriving at the election location, the greatest pressure would not be on him, but on Zhao Ling, who got in 'through connections', and General Yang, who sent him there!
As for how to get to the other side of the World.
For Humans, it was difficult without the help of an airplane.
But for Nie Fangping, who was an insect, it was very simple.
Think about it.
A Man, who should have obtained the Savior candidate slot based on his strength, was openly manipulated by the higher-ups, who gave the slot to his defeated opponent.
Facing injustice, the A Man knew that anger was futile and left in silence.
But at the final moment, he appeared at the location of the final Savior election!
He crossed half the World, and with his strength, he once again told everyone that he was more deserving of this slot than the person who relied on connections!
Such a script, just by hearing it, just by thinking about it, makes people feel incredible.
And similarly.
When all these things were revealed, Nie Fangping was certain that he had already secured half of the four final Savior slots!
Crossing half the planet within seven days, walking through Cities surrounded by countless Zombies, this was already a symbol of super strength!
