Chapter 215: Give to Me

(PS: Thanks to Alliance Leader Lu Li slk for the alliance leader reward. An extra chapter is added here. Thanks again for the support.)

Wu Pifu raised his broken broadsword, and the blade immediately transformed according to his will, turning into a sky full of flying blades that swept across the fortress ahead, instantly setting off a violent explosive wave.

These broadsword fragments condensed remotely, forming a phantom broadsword about 30 meters long, held together by invisible power. Wu Pifu jumped up and slashed from afar, instantly slicing three heavy tanks into fragments, accompanied by a series of bloody, blurry explosions.

The Security Society's infantry were already screaming and fleeing frantically. In order to run faster and be more concealed, they weren't just throwing away weapons or taking off bulletproof vests; they were even pulling out grenades and smoke bombs to throw around, causing all kinds of destruction, and even using their weapons to strafe others who were fleeing.

Five of the eight Super Soldier Armament users had already turned into rotting meat. The remaining three were completely terrified and fled in three directions outside the fortress. However, their speed seemed like slow motion in Wu Pifu's eyes. He simply carried his broken broadsword and slashed wildly, and these three Super Soldier Armament users all turned into fragments—and they turned into fragments every time they revived, eventually turning into rotting meat at the edge of the fortress.

Inside the fortress, except for the automatic defense platforms that kept firing at Wu Pifu, there were no more active attackers. The tank troops were wiped out, the combat vehicle troops were wiped out, the infantry were wiped out, and the Super Soldier Armament users were wiped out. The entire fortress had completely fallen into a sea of fire.

But the evil fire in Wu Pifu's heart had not been vented much. He followed his instincts forward, came to a metal platform somewhere in the center of the fortress, raised his broken broadsword, and slashed down several times. After breaking through the metal partition, a thick smell of blood wafted up from below.

Wu Pifu jumped down without thinking and saw a huge blood pit below, with a super-large tank parked in it.

This tank was also a Super Machine, its surface distorted force field tangible, more than an order of magnitude stronger than the Super Machine he had just shattered. At the same time, it was larger, had more and stronger weapon configurations on its surface, and even included several weapons Wu Pifu didn't recognize.

At this very moment, this Super Machine was parked in the blood pit, and large amounts of human blood and human corpses were being transported to this Super Machine via a conveyor belt.

This was originally a metal structure, but these blood and corpses seemed to be constantly devoured by some invisible big mouth. At this moment, the blood pit had bottomed out, and the blood and corpses on the conveyor belt were gradually stopping.

"... The more powerful a Super Machine is, the more 'energy' it actually needs for continuous operation. However, this energy is slaughter—slaughtering more biochemical beasts." A voice sounded from the darkness.

Wu Pifu didn't look back, just looking at the Super Machine. At the same time, he could clearly feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emanating from the Super Machine. Although the magnitude was small, he absolutely would not recognize it wrong—this was definitely spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

As the voice sounded, a man with dozens of tiny wires inserted into his skull, carrying a large number of parts and circuit boards, walked out. His face was as pale as a corpse, yet his expression was dull. At the same time, he said to Wu Pifu: "Slaughter—this is the name of this Super Machine. It is an Overlord-class Super Machine, with infinite power, one machine becoming an army. In its prime, it could even blast a small hill to pieces with a single strike. Its strongest record was killing a thousand-meter biochemical giant beast that rose from the sea single-handedly. That was also an Overlord-class biochemical beast."

Wu Pifu remained silent and walked slowly toward this Super Machine.

The grotesque man continued with a dull expression: "I am the original pilot of 'Slaughter'... All Overlord-class Super Machines have original pilots, and once selected, no one else can pilot them unless I die. But once I die, this Overlord-class Super Machine will gradually degenerate and become a non-Overlord-class Super Machine. So they performed brain surgery on me, and the personnel in the brain-plug control room also fled, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to speak on my own now."

This man seemed to have not spoken for a long time and was eager to confide, or perhaps he wanted to tell Wu Pifu something. He continued to talk to himself: "... Recently I heard that the researchers seem to have come up with a brain virtual cabin that can strip the entire brain of us original Super Machine pilots and put it into this virtual cabin. This way, we wouldn't be truly dead, and we could also assist the pilot in controlling the Super Machine. In this way, the Overlord-class Super Machine would never degenerate."

Wu Pifu turned to look at this grotesque man. After looking for a few seconds, he frowned and said: "You are beyond saving. Your brain and spine have already been replaced by these kinds of parts. Even if you were cured, you would just be a drooling idiot."

The grotesque man paused for several seconds. Although he was expressionless and dull, Wu Pifu still felt that he seemed to reveal some helpless emotions.

"I know I can't be saved, you don't need to emphasize it again..."

The man paused and continued: "Actually, 'Slaughter' isn't that evil. It's a good child, but to start it, it must have life force. The life force of biochemical beasts is the most vigorous; one can equal ten thousand humans, or even more. So in the past, when I piloted it to kill those biochemical beasts, I never needed this 'startup' ritual. But now..."

Wu Pifu naturally understood what he was going to say.

Biochemical beasts cannot be raised, because once they come into contact with metal or the like, these metals will mix with the biochemical beast's blood and flesh and split into new biochemical beasts, so they cannot be imprisoned or raised.

This also led to the Security Society being unable to be prepared for the energy required for the Super Machine's startup at any time.

However, thinking from another direction, biochemical beasts cannot be raised, but humans can...

At the same time, Wu Pifu also knew the source of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the Super Machine... It converted life into spiritual energy of heaven and earth through some method.

This was also the reason why those biochemical beasts with bounties above ten thousand tons possessed spiritual energy of heaven and earth—it was because their life force was powerful, and their life force could be converted into spiritual energy of heaven and earth in some way.

Then... is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth the root of the pollution in this Dream World?

Wu Pifu looked at the man and said: "Any last words?"

The man looked at Wu Pifu with dull, dead-fish eyes, then looked at the big hole in the ceiling that had been destroyed, and said: "I can neither feel pain nor fear now, and I don't even have the desire to survive. Every day I am locked in the debugging cabin, injected with various hormones that keep me alive. You ask me if I have any last words... I guess my last words would be that I want to die, or rather, I don't even have the desire to die anymore."

Wu Pifu slowly raised his sword. He thought for a moment and asked: "Do you have any relatives left?"

The man shook his head.

"Any friends?"

The man shook his head. "... Anything left undone?"

The man looked at Wu Pifu and said: "I don't remember. A lot of the cerebral cortex in my memory area has been cut away... There seems to be a group of people, we swore to change this world, to overthrow the three major societies, I don't remember anything else... If you have time, can you go to the Red Leaf Tavern in Tiaohai City and sit for a while? I have always been thinking about that place in my mind, but I forgot why I kept thinking about it."

Wu Pifu nodded silently. He raised the broken broadsword in his hand and asked: "What is your name?"

"I forgot."

Wu Pifu came up from the underground Super Machine parking area. The man was dead, the Overlord-class Super Machine was shattered, and a metal sphere the size of a ping-pong ball rolled out from the core of this Super Machine. It was bronze-colored, and wisps of spiritual energy of heaven and earth were constantly emanating from this metal sphere. Although the magnitude was not much, it was the only source of spiritual energy of heaven and earth that Wu Pifu could find now.

Then he followed his intuition and walked toward one of the buildings in the fortress.

The inside of the building was already empty. He didn't care, carrying his broadsword and slashing down. He didn't even take the elevator, breaking through the floors all the way down, and then landed among hundreds of elite soldiers.

These soldiers were aiming various weapons at the elevator entrance. He fell straight from the ceiling, crushing more than ten people on the spot. Then, the blade light flashed from the broken broadsword in his hand. In just an instant, within a circle with a diameter of ten meters, only various severed limbs remained.

There were still soldiers who were not dead. They pulled the triggers at Wu Pifu like crazy, and some soldiers shouted and ran toward the elevator or inside, but whether they were attacking or fleeing, a few seconds later they all turned into lumps of meat.

Wu Pifu said nothing and continued to walk toward the depths of the basement. Then he stopped in front of a nuclear-proof metal door in the innermost part, slashed forward with the broadsword in his hand, and this thick metal door several meters wide shattered directly.

Behind this door were seven panicked old men.

!

"We don't have to..."

Wu Pifu walked up and pressed down with one palm, directly pressing this old man into meat paste. One of his eyeballs shot up and landed on the face of another old man.

"Ah!!"

This old man scratched his face like crazy, and the next second he also turned into meat paste directly.

The remaining five old men kept retreating backward, and soon they retreated to the wall. This room was not big, and they didn't even have a place to escape.

"You can't kill us! The Security Society protects the entire human world, we..."

Wu Pifu pressed down with another palm, but the speed of this palm was very slow, so slow that the old man's body was slowly compressed, and he didn't die for a while, just screaming frantically, kicking his arms and palms around, spraying feces and urine, and eventually, he was still pressed into a meat patty.

"Ah!"

Two more old men went crazy. They each took out pistols and aimed them at their own temples, but before they could pull the triggers, the broken broadsword in Wu Pifu's hand slashed off their arms.

Then two palms pressed on their heads. In their frantic and desperate screams and gazes, Wu Pifu slowly, slowly pressed them into meat patties.

"Are you still unable to speak human language at this time?" Wu Pifu suddenly said at this moment: "You protected humanity? No, you just protected your power and status."

The remaining two old men suddenly had their eyes light up. Since he spoke, it meant there was a turning point!

One old man immediately said: "What do you want? You can have whatever you want, we can give you anything!"

Wu Pifu chuckled, shook the blood and flesh on his hands and said: "Feng Wensi, whom you sent to kill me earlier, said when he saw me counterattack and kill the Security Society soldiers, that these soldiers had families and wives, and that I had a cruel heart for killing them."

"I replied that I would send him, his backers, his leaders, his colleagues, and his whole family to be buried with these soldiers. So now, give it to me!"

The two old men screamed in their hearts that it was bad, but their backs were against the metal wall, and there was no way to retreat. Wu Pifu's hands finally pressed on their heads, and then he compressed their bodies bit by bit at a very slow speed.

"Give me your lives!"
