The middle-aged man seemed to sense danger. He clutched his bag, feeling helpless. Suddenly, he ran towards Wang Zheng.
There were already five strong-looking men surrounding them.
"Give us your bag, or we'll beat you to death. Give us your bag." The five men's expressions were ferocious. At this point, staying alive was the most important. Anyone who came here would be useless. The truly rich and useful would not be in such a low-class warehouse.
"You … you can't do this. I'm going to scream."
The leader, a man with earrings, could not help but laugh. "Scream as you please. See if anyone pays attention to you."
"Kid, move aside. This is none of your business."
Wang Zheng lifted his head, expressionless. But he only said one word. "Scram!"
"Find …" The leader of the men with tattoos and earrings had just finished his sentence when his vision went black. With a boom, his entire body flew seven or eight meters, and he fell to the ground, motionless.
Wang Zheng slowly retracted his leg and looked at the other four people. The other four people were stunned for a moment and quickly dispersed. Wang Zheng slowly sat down.
"Go back to your place. Your cigarette was worth it."
The middle-aged man was stunned. "I can …"
Wang Zheng waved his finger. The middle-aged man could only return to his place. If he had known, he would have bought an extra meal. If that had happened, the other party would definitely have protected him.
But after Wang Zheng's move, although the others coveted it, no one dared to make a move.
There was no logic in this place. The only way to avoid trouble was to make your own rules.
Wang Zheng closed his eyes and rested, waiting for his destination to arrive.
This world was not very long. Clearly, he had joined midway. The Easter Project?
What did the military mean?
Was he gathering information, or disrupting the plan? Was there anyone to receive him? How could he leave?
Clearly, there was nothing. Suddenly, Wang Zheng's lips curled into a smile. Since there was nothing, did that mean he could do whatever he wanted?
He liked a world without boundaries.
The largest city on Maklou was Fallen Paradise. Many people who had never been here might think that this place was very desolate and backward. This thinking was correct, because Maklou's environment was indeed quite bad. There was no day, only eternal darkness, and it was entirely powered by electricity. But Fallen Paradise was one of the most prosperous cities in the Milky Way Alliance. Not only did it produce rare minerals, but it also grew stronger and absorbed many special refugees. They brought with them large amounts of money and connections. Gray locations often meant luxury, decadence, and prosperity. Of course, the price was high.
In contrast to the prosperity of the city, on the other side were the slums and mining areas, where dangerous and arduous work was carried out.
The spaceship had arrived at its destination. Everyone had to be cleaned and disinfected. It was always uncomfortable to have a high-pressure faucet on one's body. It felt no different from washing a pig. On the other side, in the VIP passageway, several groups of people had already disembarked under the red carpet and lights. What awaited them were fresh flowers and beautiful women.
"Mr Qi Bin, Mr Kulifa, it's been hard on you. Welcome to Fallen Paradise, distinguished guests. You will enjoy God-like service here. Your needs are our highest orders."
A sexy beauty in a beige blouse, white skirt, and black high heels said. The height of her collar was just right, and it was faintly discernible. From her aura, it was clear that she had been highly educated. There was no sense of seduction at all.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They had finally arrived at their destination. It was truly safe here. Even the people from the Federation would not be able to enter. At most, they could only sneak in. However, the consequences of sneaking in were very tragic.
That was why this place was called Fallen Paradise.
Money was not the point. Money also came with a place to enjoy. That was the most important thing.
And on the other side, Wang Zheng and the rest were also hurried off the spaceship by soldiers armed to the teeth. What greeted them was a bustling corner of the city, but they were quickly boxed up.
Although they were free people, but in Fallen Paradise, they were just a little better than slaves.
In the faraway Elite Academy, Jiang Feng had just received the news that the six had arrived at their respective mission locations.
The difficulty of this mission was very high. Accurately speaking, they were all cases that gave the Milky Way Alliance headaches. Either it was inconvenient to intervene directly, or the difficulty was too high, and they had not been resolved for a long time. Just like Jiang Feng had said, these were missions that pitted wits and courage. One could even say that luck played a large role. If one was unlucky, he would have died before reaching his destination. It looked like the six of them were pretty lucky.
This mission was still the hardest for Wang Zheng, Olivios, and Lear. Of course, they did not have to complete it. What was important was the process. To the Milky Way Alliance, ability was not the most important, because ability was a double-edged sword. Once one betrayed the Milky Way Alliance, the threat was also the greatest. And this was almost impossible to eliminate. At present, of the experts that had been groomed through proper channels, a third had already fallen to the grey areas, or even completely entered the underworld. And these places always had various ways to break down human weakness.
This mission was not based on completion, but on whether one could persevere.
Zhang Shan and the rest were indeed speechless. Wang Zheng had disappeared again. He had come and gone like a ghost. And Lear, Olivios, and the rest had suddenly gone out to carry out missions. A pity. Zhang Shan had really wanted to see the world with Wang Zheng.
But it could not be helped. This meant that they had not reached that level. And Achilles might have been close, but his physical condition had caused him to miss this opportunity. But it was a blessing in disguise. Such a mission was not necessarily a good thing.
Compared to Student Wang Zheng's miserable state, Zhang Shan and the rest, who had opened their eyes and breathed in the fresh air, were much happier. This was a heavenly life.
The first edition of the Greatest King Competition had ended, but it was not the end. The school had allowed the major teams to re-prepare, expand enrollment, and allow more people to participate. And there had been a major reform in mecha.
The KO Group's external mecha box had gone through various tests and was very suitable for mecha use. Various countries had already begun to add this device to their training, especially for Elite Academy X, which was at the forefront. This meant that the pilots could use abilities similar to teleportation. For Zhang Shan, an additional short-distance teleportation was not much of an advantage. But for others, it was completely different. Clearly, future battles would become more difficult and complicated. And in the future, battles in the main battle environments would be fully opened up, and not just limited to urban battlefields.
The school hoped that everyone could participate, and not just the glory of a few.
When Wang Zheng was not around, Achilles and the rest had to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining the glory of Saruman Snake.
This time, it was the Imperial Glory battle team that had remained intact. But the most tragic was also the Imperial Glory battle team. This was because when Wang Zheng and the rest had left, Imperial Glory was still intact. This could not be a blow to Di Maria.
Of course, this was the speculation of the outside world. But in reality, it was Aslan who had rejected this mission. Aslan had their own trial mode, and at the same time, they had a certain understanding of the direction of this mission in Elite Academy X. Clearly, such a thing did not suit Di Maria's identity.
There were many ways to become strong. It was good to grab the one that suited him. At the same time, Di Maria needed to abandon that useless vanity.
