Zhang Ping pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I am very grateful for Professor Zhou's affirmation, but I still have a lot of things to do, so... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't accept Professor Zhou's invitation."
"Is that so? That's a pity." Professor Zhou said somewhat disappointedly after hearing Zhang Ping's reply.
He took off his glasses, wiped them, and then put them back on. He continued, "Captain Zhang, you know what? In my eyes, the safety of the base is above all else. Any factors that may threaten the safety of the base must be eliminated. I don't like to be a bad guy, so anyone who accidentally breaks in, I will give him a chance to live."
"… "
Zhang Ping narrowed his eyes, realizing that Professor Zhou was planning to turn against him because he refused the invitation.
He looked at Professor Zhou and asked, "So, you will kill anyone who refuses your invitation?"
"What else? This is the last spark of mankind and the bottom line of civilization. Anyone who touches the bottom line... I will kill them all!" Professor Zhou looked at Zhang Ping and said seriously.
The reason why he was friendly to Zhang Ping before was that if Zhang Ping accepted his invitation, he would be his companion in the future. But since Zhang Ping has rejected the invitation, there is no need to pretend to be a good guy anymore.
Zhang Ping sighed and slowly stood up from his seat.
"What? You want to fight me?" Professor Zhou also stood up from his chair and looked at Zhang Ping with a playful smile.
Zhang Ping said seriously, "Do you know? In the rules set by the rescue team, killing is a serious crime. Although my hands are stained with the blood of many people, at least I can say that the people I killed all deserved to die. So... Professor Zhou, what about you?"
"Haha, for the last spark of mankind, the people I killed are naturally the ones who deserve to die, and you... deserve to die!" Professor Zhou said calmly.
The next moment, a large number of golden lines appeared in the entire space.
Zhang Ping was stuck around these golden threads, unable to move at all. Any movement would result in bloody marks being left on him by the golden threads.
"Isn't it strange? Why can't you use your superpowers, but I can? Different arrangements of base runes will have different effects, and the superpowers in my body are all inlaid with new base runes, so they are not only immune to the effects of the base runes in the base, but also any superpowers that are not inlaid with base runes are 'inferior' in front of my abilities."
Professor Zhou was confident of victory. He looked at Zhang Ping and said with a smile, "You are fighting me in my home court. You have no chance of winning from the beginning."
In fact, the principle is very simple. When superpowers collide, what is being competed is not only the strength of the superpowers themselves, but also the degree of impact on vacuum energy.
This is equivalent to the so-called mastery of rules in some novels. A practitioner who masters 1% of the rules naturally cannot beat a practitioner who masters 10% of the rules.
"It seems like you have decided to take me down?"
Zhang Ping knew very well that Professor Zhou told him this not because he wanted to leak the secret, but because he thought he was doomed.
However, Professor Zhou shook his head and sighed, "I just haven't talked to anyone for a long time, and I just wanted to show off. After all, these are all my research results, but I can only keep them in my heart like a secret. Do you know how painful this is?"
