145: Chapter 145 Does Teacher Su Want to Step Down and Make Way for Someone Elite?
The exit on the east side of Heaven City.
A blood-colored mushroom cloud rose into the sky at the edge of the horizon, illuminating the night.
The rolling cloud head looked like a clawing giant skeleton, and the rolling thunder sounded like its heart-wrenching roar.
"A blood crystal fission bomb! Xiao Zhuo, did you give a blood crystal fission bomb to Li Jianrong?"
Di Zhenzhen looked at Yun Zhuo in surprise.
"Something like that."
Yun Zhuo gave a casual brush-off, then used the contract to message Jiang Jingjing in the village: "Can you see what's happening over there?"
"I should be able to."
As soon as Jiang Jingjing finished speaking, the Void Realm in front of Yun Zhuo flashed, and a holographic projection appeared before his eyes.
The battle in the large pit in front of the Abandoned Well appeared before everyone's eyes.
Under the moonlight, the desertified mountain summit was illuminated in a silvery white.
A massive black and red pot occupied nearly a third of the summit area. One side was connected to the bridgehead, and the other to the collapsed mountain body, looking like a giant holding a large pot.
At this moment, the pot seemed to be filled with boiling oil, and water had fallen into it, crackling and popping as it exploded everywhere.
What splashed out was blood, severed limbs, and rolling heads, both male and female.
What exploded were various Martial Skills and the venting of their respective spiritual energies.
The unluckiest ones right now were the long-range War Spirit Masters. The large pot was smooth and slippery; anyone who fell in would slide toward the center, getting caught in the slaughter with the melee War Spirit Masters.
In minutes, they were blown to pieces, with body parts scattered everywhere.
After a War Spirit Master and a War Princess undergo Body Integration, they can withstand one fatal blow. Even if they are hacked into pieces, it only results in the Body Integration with the War Princess dissolving; they would be heavily injured but wouldn't die.
But here, there was simply no chance to use potions. As soon as they were blown out, they were either hacked to pieces by others or trampled into meat paste.
A five or six-meter-tall mecha stepping on a person was no joke.
If they happened to be stepped on while the opponent was exerting force against the ground, the person would explode instantly.
There were also lucky ones who rushed out, running along the rim of the pot toward the mountain to find a vantage point to fire into the pot.
The unluckiest ones here were the mercenaries of the Dongji Company. Their long-range mechas had all been guarding the bridgehead earlier and were all blown into the sky by Yun Zhuo's blood crystal fission bomb.
Once the long-range mechas on the Adventurers' side rushed out of the large pot to reach the mountain peaks on both sides and began firing into the pot...
Even if the Dongji Company's mercenaries had better Martial Skills, more items, and better tactical coordination, the battle began to evolve into a one-sided massacre.
There was no longer any suspense in the battle. Yun Zhuo sighed, "It's a good thing I didn't try to be a hero earlier."
When they fought the Rattlesnake Adventure Group before, it was easy because they took the initiative before the enemies could transform and undergo Body Integration, and those enemies didn't have a Rank advantage over them.
At this moment, in the battle in front of the Abandoned Well, the Dongji Company's mercenaries had long since completed their transformation and Body Integration. He and Teacher Su had no advantage whatsoever.
Add to that the Heavenly Pot terrain. The older Teacher Su was a long-range class, and her second form can't fly. Whether she could even make it out was uncertain, let alone providing him with fire support.
Hearing Yun Zhuo's words, Di Zhenzhen also felt a wave of lingering fear.
It was lucky that Xiao Zhuo had called her back then. If she had really rushed over with those people, with her meager strength, she probably would have been blown to bits in an instant.
"Sister Jingjing, keep an eye on their movements."
"Okay."
No matter how many people they lost this time, it was agreed beforehand that he would take forty percent of the spoils, and forty percent it would be.
But afterward, some people would surely regret it. For example, they might hide part of the spoils in the Abandoned Well; since he hadn't gone there himself, he wouldn't know.
Or they might not hand over what they captured, or hide in the city and only come out after everything had blown over.
In short, while Li Jianrong was trustworthy, that was in the past.
After obtaining so many spoils all at once, whether he was still trustworthy was uncertain.
"Xiao Zhuo, looking at this, the battle will be over soon. Should I send someone to meet them, so they don't come to the village looking for us?"
Hearing Di Zhenzhen's words, Yun Zhuo smiled slightly and said with certainty, "No need. It takes time to clean up the battlefield; they won't be back that quickly."
"With Sister Jingjing watching now, everyone else should take the time to rest."
"Staying up late often is bad for the skin."
Di Zhenzhen smiled slightly. If The two Su sisters hadn't been present, she would have given the boy a glare; he was always so smooth-tongued.
The nuns lit several bonfires. Summit City was unusually cold at night, while it was unusually hot during the day.
This was probably the climate of a desertified mountain region.
Yun Zhuo looked over this abandoned old world city. The firepower of the cyber guanyin in the village could cover the entire city. Should he turn this abandoned city into his base?
If he could support himself with the resources of an entire city, he wouldn't have to worry about money in the future.
Only when his martial power increased would he have the capital to establish himself in this world.
With the help of the System, it shouldn't be a problem for him to reach the ultimate realm of this world.
At that time, he wondered if he could tear through the Void Realm.
He wanted to go home and see. Going back to show off was one thing, but mainly he wanted to verify if his memories were real and if he was the second Fan Xian.
It was still too early to think about that; he would just set a goal for now.
The current task was to build a city. Building a city required a population; where would he get so many people?
Summit City didn't seem to have anything attractive. It was only two hundred kilometers from Central Heaven City. Why would people leave a perfectly good city to settle in this godforsaken place?
Forget it, he'd build a town first, like the Desert Small Town of Dawn City, specifically to serve the Adventurers and Gold Farmers who came to this area to make a living.
After all, it was over two hundred kilometers from Central Heaven City; building a town shouldn't be a problem.
The problem was having the necessary living supplies. The Desert Small Town had farms; what did he have here?
Water. He had to solve the water source problem first.
The water used in the Nun Village was all condensed water extracted from the air.
If he were to build a water station, he might as well just build a farm. Yes, build a farm first, just like in Dawn City.
And it didn't need to be that big; it just needed to ensure the town's self-sufficiency.
"Xiao Zhuo, what are you thinking about?"
The younger Teacher Su brought over a steaming cup of coffee, seeing Yun Zhuo dazing alone on a bench at an abandoned bus stop.
Yun Zhuo smelled the coffee and glanced at her cup. "Drinking coffee? Will you be able to sleep later?"
"This is what Di Zhenzhen gave everyone to stay alert, to keep us from dozing off so we can guard our respective intersections. She even had someone send a large pot to Jiang Jingjing in the village, for fear she might doze off and mess things up."
Yun Zhuo smiled slightly.
The younger Teacher Su held the cup up to him. "Want a taste?"
Yun Zhuo took it, had a sip, and was momentarily stunned.
The younger Teacher Su smiled. "How is it? Isn't the taste familiar?"
Yun Zhuo nodded. "Yeah, it's very similar to the way your sister brews it."
"Of course, it's the same brand of instant coffee."
Saying this, she sat down beside him, naturally leaning against him and then snuggling closer into his arms.
"Are you cold? Come on, let's go over to the bonfire."
"No, I just want to stay alone with you for a while."
"Where's your sister?"
"She's playing with her new skill." At this, a hint of envy appeared in Teacher Su's eyes. "You probably know already; the talent skill she awakened is Space Manipulation.
She's so lucky."
"Your Toss of Heaven and Earth isn't bad either. As long as you have money, there's no opponent you can't kill."
"Xiao Zhuo, why don't you let my sister be your Main Battle WarPrincess instead?"
