"Okay, leave it to me."
Wang Xiaoming nodded and walked out of the observation room, heading straight for the nearby escalator after exiting.
The soldier who came to report walked to Wang Xiaoming's side.
"Mr. Xiaoming, please follow me."
He prepared to lead Wang Xiaoming.
"No need, I can go down from here."
Wang Xiaoming waved his hand, then jumped onto the railing and leaped directly down to the maintenance room below.
"Ah!"
The soldier, seeing Wang Xiaoming jump down, cried out in surprise. Major General Yang in the maintenance room didn't see it due to the angle, but after hearing the sound, he immediately turned around and asked with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"General, he jumped down from here!"
"Jumped down?"
The puzzled Major General Yang looked down at the maintenance room and indeed saw Wang Xiaoming already standing on the floor.
It had been less than 5 seconds since he left the room, so there was no way he could have taken the elevator down in time. That meant there was only one possibility: he really jumped down!
"Is he alright?"
"Yes, General. He seems perfectly fine, walking very normally, without any signs of injury or sluggishness."
"Can the Void Gene really enhance a person to this extent?"
Major General Yang frowned.
"It seems the Void Gene is even more powerful than we imagined."
"Yes, there must be many things we haven't discovered yet."
Colonel Jon, standing beside Major General Yang, nodded in agreement.
"Then, next, let us see what else the Void Gene is capable of."
Major General Yang instructed his men to film the entire process, making sure to capture everything that happened during Wang Xiaoming's battle.
691. Lieutenant Wang Xiaoming
"He's finally here! I've been waiting impatiently!"
Dali'er, lying in the cockpit, watched Wang Xiaoming walk into the maintenance room through the camera of the Ultimate Roar, shouting excitedly. He had made ample preparations to defeat Wang Xiaoming, all for the sake of speed. As long as he was fast enough, he could catch Wang Xiaoming!
"Sorry to keep you waiting, then let us begin."
Wang Xiaoming raised his hand, preparing to fight.
"Wait, Lieutenant Yang, and this gentleman, this is the maintenance room, not a place for fighting. The battlefield is next door."
The maintenance personnel in the maintenance room quickly spoke up. They didn't want the place to be damaged by the fight, as they would be responsible for the repairs. They were already tired enough from changing equipment for the Heavy Roar, and it would be too much trouble to repair the damaged site as well.
"Come with me!"
Dali'er naturally knew where the combat training ground was. He directly accelerated the Ultimate Roar and rushed out. Wang Xiaoming nodded to the relieved maintenance personnel and followed the direction the Ultimate Roar left in.
He walked over very easily and slowly.
"Hurry up! I can't wait any longer!"
Entering the training ground, Dali'er looked at Wang Xiaoming's slow appearance and couldn't help but shout loudly. The sound was amplified through the loudspeaker on the Ultimate Roar, spreading back and forth within the training ground.
"So anxious, it seems Lieutenant Yang, you are ready."
Wang Xiaoming still didn't hurry, asking as he walked.
"Of course, I'm ready!"
"Since you're ready, then..."
The moment Wang Xiaoming stepped into the training ground, he suddenly disappeared from the spot. After he disappeared, the air exploded, and the ground directly cracked open.
Then Wang Xiaoming directly appeared in front of the Ultimate Roar's head.
"Huh!?"
Dali'er, suddenly seeing Wang Xiaoming appear in front of him through the camera, reflexively leaned back in fright, but a warning fist appeared.
Bang—
The Ultimate Roar's head was directly hit by Wang Xiaoming's fist.
The steel-made head was directly punched through, and after the fist punched through the metal skin, the shockwave of the fist driving the air slammed into the Ultimate Roar's body.
The entire part above the chest was blown away by the sudden air impact.
The Ultimate Roar, which was a machine of death and slaughter for humans, was directly blown off its head and then stopped, losing control.
Wang Xiaoming floated down to the ground, and the Ultimate Roar's torso crashed backward with a bang.
Wang Xiaoming patted his hands after landing and walked towards the maintenance room.
"That was easy."
Wang Xiaoming's words stunned everyone watching, and the maintenance personnel in the maintenance room opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a while.
Major General Yang and his subordinates in the observation room were also dumbfounded.
"This... is this also the power of the Void Gene?"
Major General Yang asked Colonel Jon.
"General, although it looks very exaggerated, this should be the power of the Void Gene, after all..."
"Yes, this is indeed the power of the Void Gene!"
Obviously, in this scientific world, there is no transcendent power, so now that a power that science cannot explain has appeared, they can only attribute it to the Void Gene.
"This kind of power is really terrifying. We must study it carefully and figure out how it works."
"Then General, what about Wang Xiaoming?"
"According to his current strength, we may not be able to rashly attack him. The Ultimate Roar is like paper in front of him. We probably can't fight him head-on. Before we figure out the specific strengthening direction of the Void Gene, don't act rashly. Reassure him and give him a military rank. By the way, since he defeated Dali'er, let him be the captain of the Ultimate Roar team. Give him the rank of captain."
Major General Yang easily decided Wang Xiaoming's identity.
"Jon, I'll trouble you to solve his appeasement problem next."
"Yes!"
"Oh, right, find a way to get him to cooperate with the research department. They want to study the Void Gene's enhancement of him. No need to force it; the guys at the research department should know how to handle it."
"Of course! Those guys are more cunning than anyone when it comes to things like this."
"Very well, let's go down and congratulate Captain Wang Xiaoming now."
"Indeed, as the newly appointed captain, he certainly deserves congratulations."
Under General Yang's lead, they descended from the observation room, taking the elevator down together into the ready room.
Inside the ready room, Wang Xiaoming had already returned from the training grounds, and Daril also climbed out of the cockpit.
When he was instantly defeated at the beginning, Daril was stunned. He remained in the cockpit, bewildered, for a full ten seconds before he realized that the Ultimate Roar he was piloting had been instantly killed by Wang Xiaoming with a single punch – a punch that offered no chance of resistance!
The alarm inside the cockpit clearly indicated that the Ultimate Roar's connection had been severed. Before the interruption, its head had exploded.
His head was blown apart with a single punch? Is that even possible? He had already adjusted his speed to the maximum, but it was useless. The opponent rushed over at a speed he couldn't comprehend and blew him away with one punch.
Climbing out of the cockpit, Daril watched Wang Xiaoming calmly walk back and couldn't help but ask,
"Are you even human?"
"Of course, I'm human."
Wang Xiaoming replied with a smile.
"It's just that I'm a billion times stronger than ordinary humans."
"That's right, Mr. Xiaoming is certainly human! Just the strongest human there is."
Brigadier General Yang walked over from the elevator entrance, applauding as he approached.
"Mr. Xiaoming's power is truly astonishing."
"Is that so? Then I must thank General Yang for the compliment."
Wang Xiaoming maintained his usual smile.
"Daril, how about it? Do you admit defeat this time?"
Brigadier General Yang looked at Daril. He was disappointed in Daril. He wanted Daril to probe Wang Xiaoming's depths, but he hadn't gleaned anything at all. He was defeated by Wang Xiaoming with a single punch right from the start, making him somewhat useless. It led to his current inability to estimate Wang Xiaoming's strength, making it difficult to act against Wang Xiaoming. He could only cooperate with Wang Xiaoming for now.
"Hmph, I admit defeat!"
Daril understood that his father was angry. He couldn't resist Brigadier General Yang, so he lowered his head and admitted defeat. He also admitted defeat in his heart because Wang Xiaoming's speed was too fast. He didn't even have time to react.
"Then, next is Mr. Xiaoming's treatment."
Brigadier General Yang looked at Wang Xiaoming.
"Mr. Xiaoming, I heard you want to join us. Considering your abilities, I can temporarily grant you the rank of captain. As for your position, you will be responsible for leading the entire Ultimate Roar team. Is that acceptable?"
"Captain's treatment, huh? Very well, I agree."
Wang Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction.
Ranks and titles didn't matter. Soon, the entire base would be his.
692. Jiang Shenya Joins the Villain Camp
"Good morning, Captain Wang!"
"Good morning, soldier."
In the GHQ headquarters' dormitory area, as soon as Wang Xiaoming stepped out of his room, he was saluted by the guard responsible for standing watch at the entrance of the dormitory area, and Wang Xiaoming also returned the salute cooperatively.
Not far from leaving the dormitory area, Wang Xiaoming encountered an acquaintance, Colonel Jon, who had brought him into this base.
"Captain Wang, good morning."
"Colonel Jon, good morning."
Wang Xiaoming and Jon smiled at each other, then walked shoulder to shoulder towards the main base.
"Colonel Jon, does Brigadier General Yang have any instructions for today?"
Jon looked around, and after discovering that there was no one else nearby, he leaned closer to Wang Xiaoming's ear.
"Brigadier General Yang asked me to pass on a message to you."
Where did you learn this imperial army translator act from?
Wang Xiaoming wanted to laugh a little, but he still whispered back.
"Oh? What did he say?"
"He has already helped you add all the permissions inside the base. Now you can go anywhere inside the base, but to prevent accidents, try to avoid being discovered by others as much as possible."
"Okay, I understand."
Wang Xiaoming nodded in satisfaction.
After becoming a captain in the GHQ base, Wang Xiaoming controlled Jon with illusions the next day. After that, Wang Xiaoming directly controlled Brigadier General Yang. The base's highest commander and his confidants directly became Wang Xiaoming's people, and Wang Xiaoming's actions inside the base suddenly became unimpeded.
Wang Xiaoming could go everywhere, but many places only recognized the card and not the person, so Wang Xiaoming had some trouble when he went there. So Wang Xiaoming asked Brigadier General Yang to write all his permissions into it.
And now, Brigadier General Yang has written all the permissions into Wang Xiaoming's identification card.
"Oh, right, the research department needs to do new research. Captain Wang, would you like to go over there?"
"Research, huh? Of course, I have to go there. After all, our GHQ's mission is to eliminate the Apocalypse Virus and allow humans to return to their original world."
"That's right, everything we do is for the sake of humanity!"
Jon smiled and nodded. The purpose of GHQ's establishment was to control Japan and, at the same time, control the Apocalypse Virus. If they could thoroughly research this virus, that would be great.
However, GHQ has not yet fully researched this virus. They have only researched a Void Gene, but the fatality rate of the Void Gene is ridiculously high. Basically, injection is equivalent to waiting to die. Wang Xiaoming, as the only person who has successfully survived after injection, is the best research material.
