I Just Want To Retire Quietly

Chapter 19: The Abyss (VII)

Although they are going to help the other world, they cannot rashly enter the base. The people in this world are unpredictable, so it is better to be cautious in everything.

But the middle-aged man was a peripheral member of the base after all, and he could not get the specific situation inside after asking for a long time. He only knew where the farmland was, the grain production was very average, and where the living and activity areas of ordinary people like them were. The hierarchy in the base was very strict, and ordinary people like him had no idea about the situation at the top.

After listening to the middle-aged man's description, Ah San felt that he couldn't go in. If he really wanted to go into such a dangerous place, he might as well just leave. He couldn't spend so much effort and good intentions to help others, only to be caught and tortured in the end.

Moreover, the matter of "The Hole" must never be exposed. If the positions were reversed, and he lived in the end times and knew that he could enter other safe worlds through the "Hole", he would definitely use any means to get to their world through the "Hole".

Although Tan Yan said that people from the other world would disappear into the "void", it is better not to take any risks.

Several people designed several action plans, but they were either dangerous or time-consuming, and none of them was perfect.

"I think the best plan is to snatch a few people's protective clothing at the entrance, and Tan Yan will protect them and hide them outside. After we sneak in and complete the mission, we will release them back." Liang Xian said, "Didn't the uncle just say that sometimes the oxygen underground will become thin, and it is normal for people who are not feeling well to wear protective clothing."

"I don't agree to enter their base. It's like walking into a tiger's mouth." Ah □□ replied, "It will take at least half an hour for you to input the information after you enter. There are too many variables. We should take hostages and ask them to hand over the computer and network together."

"You've also heard from the uncle that human lives are worthless in the apocalypse. What kind of hostages can make them obedient? Even if we kidnap the top leader of the base, it might just play into the hands of his political enemies and take the opportunity to take over." Liang Xian disagreed with this approach, "Unless we kidnap all the leaders of the base, but that's impossible, so..."

"Okay." Tan Yan said suddenly.

"Huh? What's possible?" Liang Xian was puzzled.

"We can tie up all the main leaders." Tan Yan said calmly, "I'll try."

Three people: “…”

Ah San scratched his ears: "How can we surround a base with the strength of four people?"

Tan Yan pressed the knuckles of his other hand with his palm, making the joints crackle: "Use your fist."

Three people: “…”

When they were wondering if Tan Yan was overconfident in his abilities because he possessed super powers, they saw Tan Yan said to the middle-aged man: "Xiao Liu... No, Mr. Liu, is the base just below here?"

Middle-aged Xiao Liu nodded: "I dare not move far away from the base, and the search range is very close to the base gate, so that if there is a meteorite attack, I can hide back as soon as possible."

"That's enough." Tan Yan nodded.

If you think about it carefully, there is a way to get a computer with internet access without entering the base. Isn't it simple

He turned around and picked and chose a meteorite that looked the largest and strongest nearby, which was more than ten meters high. Tan Yan circled the meteorite twice, and seemed to have found a suitable fulcrum. He hugged it with both arms and easily lifted it up.

Three people + middle-aged Xiao Liu: "… "

Qin Li rubbed his eyes and tried to hug the three-meter-high meteorite where they were hiding, but the meteorite did not move at all.

"Report, the density of the meteorite next to us is initially measured to be over 5g/cm, which is much higher than granite. It is suspected to contain metal components. Judging from the volume of the meteorite lifted by Tan Yan, his meteorite..." Qin Li could not continue.

Almost tons...

The four people stared in amazement as Tan Yan easily carried the meteorite to a place a little further away from the base gate that the middle-aged Xiao Liu pointed to, then jumped up easily with the meteorite on one shoulder.

Jump, jump up!

After jumping about dozens of meters high, Tan Yan descended at an extremely fast speed. With a "bang", the meteorite hit the ground heavily, and the entire ground shook violently.

The three people in the protective shield could not feel any wind pressure at all, but the middle-aged Xiao Liu was directly blown away by the storm caused by the meteorite landing. He reacted quickly and immediately pulled out a chain from his waist. The head of the chain was firmly embedded in the ground, which stabilized Xiao Liu's body and prevented him from being blown away by the wind.

The three of them watched the flying rocks being bounced away by the protective shield, and felt ashamed of themselves for wanting to learn super powers.

Even if they understand this power, can they really learn it

Tan Yan dusted himself off, walked back and steadied the still-flying middle-aged Xiao Liu, and asked, "Was the vibration just now enough for the underground base to feel it?"

"It's enough..." the middle-aged Xiao Liu trembled, "If you use a little more strength, the base will collapse."

"It shouldn't be that serious. I didn't intend to destroy the base." Tan Yan was confident. "You should have an emergency communicator to contact the base, right?"

"Yes, yes." When they go out on patrol, if they encounter people from the hostile base or dangerous situations, they can call the base troops.

Tan Yan took the emergency communicator and handed it to Liang Xian: "I'm not good at making polite remarks, so you guys make the conditions."

His expression was extremely relaxed.

Liang Xian: “…”

He took the communicator with mixed feelings, and put himself in the shoes of the fox who was taking advantage of the tiger's might.

Well, it’s not easy for foxes either.

In fact, he also wanted to immerse himself in thinking about the meaning of life with Ah San Qin Li, but Tan Yan's trust forced him to return to reality. Liang Xian barely pulled himself together, raised his throat, and said in an extremely majestic tone: "People in the base, I will say this once, please listen carefully."

"We need a computer that can contact the country. Please report it to your superiors immediately and have it delivered to the ground within half an hour. I'm sure you all felt the vibration just now. This is just a small greeting gift. From now on, we will attack once every five minutes, and the strength of each attack will be twice that of the previous one. In other words, if you can't get the computer out within half an hour, you will be subjected to 64 times the attack."

"You, you guys...are you aliens or people from the future?" the middle-aged Xiao Liu asked tremblingly, "Why can you survive in the air? Why do you have such powerful strength?"

"We are from Earth," Liang Xian said calmly, "That's all I can tell you."

"With regard to the attack just now, can you still speed it up at 64 times the speed?" Asan no longer cared about computers or the other world. His entire body and mind were focused on Tan Yan.

"I don't know," Tan Yan shook his head, "I'm not good at math."

Ah San, Liang Xian, Qin Li: "..."

Does being bad at math mean being unable to calculate one’s maximum strength, or being unable to accurately calculate 64 times

Don’t be the latter!

Fortunately, Tan Yan was not a person who liked to show off, and he did not think he had done anything shocking. He said to Liang Xian: "But the 64-fold base really can't bear it. I think they can only withstand more than 5 times the pressure at most."

"It's okay. If you send twice as many as them in five minutes, they will immediately take action." Liang Xian said, "We just need to show our decisiveness and determination. This is indeed the fastest and safest method."

First, demonstrate, but at the same time, say that you have no ill intentions and just want to use a computer. The other side will gather forces to attack within these five minutes, but when the next attack comes 5 minutes later, the people in the base will give up resistance.

It's not that there is no power to defeat Tan Yan. Liang Xian believes that nuclear bombs still exist in this world. But no one will use such heavy weapons in their home field. As long as their demands are not too excessive, the base will satisfy them.

Ah San said: "I think you are very skilled in using the power of others to bully others."

Liang Xian was silent.

Although Tan Yan kept saying, "You can do whatever you want, just go ahead and do it, I'm here for you." But no one took him seriously until he really showed his inhuman strength. Everyone thought, even if he had superpowers, what could he do? At most, he would be a little stronger and have a better jumping ability, but human power would never be as good as heavy weapons.

But in reality, the inhuman strength displayed by a person is definitely more shocking than a missile of the same level.

No wonder Tan Yan thought his hearing and speed were average in the real world. If he often showed off his power in the other world...

Liang Xian recalled Tan Yan's performance during military training and felt that it was indeed quite ordinary.

The base was going crazy. They also had surveillance on the ground, which was usually installed to detect huge meteorites. When they heard the voice coming from the emergency communicator of the patrol, they immediately called up the surveillance. They thought that other bases were carrying heavy weapons to attack, and the base leaders were still looking for the responsibility of the patrol personnel. Such a large force was able to enter the base's cordon quietly. What do the patrols do all day!

But the surveillance content made everyone dumbfounded. Four unprotected people were exposed to the sunlight without the protection of the atmosphere. One of them even lifted a meteorite. Are they really human

"They want computers... Commander, do you think aliens want to occupy the Earth through the Earth's network?" asked an important official in the base.

"Bullshit! What is there to occupy on such a broken Earth? Whoever wants it can take it. And maybe the aliens can use high technology to improve the Earth's environment. Isn't it just a computer that can connect to the central network? Give it to them." The commander said very straightforwardly.

"But Commander, isn't it a bit too spineless to let them show off their might like this while we don't even resist?" suggested another important official.

"Minister of Finance, calculate how many troops, weapons, and electricity are needed for a battle, and how much energy is needed to manufacture these weapons. Whoever can guarantee to replenish this energy can go to battle."

The CFO immediately listed the budget, and the astronomical figures on it made everyone in the conference room dumbfounded. This amount of energy was enough to maintain the base for two years, but it was really... unaffordable.

By comparison, handing over the computer seemed easier.

What the commander meant was that if they still wanted to fight after we handed over the computer, we would have no choice but to fight.

The resistance and second attack that Liang Xian expected did not occur. At 4:53 seconds, a desktop computer connected to an Internet cable was moved to the ground.

Four people: “…”

People in the end times are more spineless than they imagined, and they know how to survive better.

They couldn't help but wonder, if the real world also entered the end of the world, what choices would the people on Earth make.
