Chapter 158: Chapter 157
"Is this the Ark?"
Murong Yuling couldn't help but marvel at the colossal structures, even larger than aircraft carriers.
"Yes, it is!"
"And it can help us avoid the disaster?"
"That's right. We'll be living here for the foreseeable future."
Murong Yuling nodded, her beautiful eyes gazing deeply at Asura.
To be honest, the two missions she had undertaken with Asura were incredibly easy, almost like winning effortlessly!
This man always seemed to see things others couldn't, truly mysterious!
At this moment.
The entrance to the Ark base was already packed with people!
Countless elite individuals holding tickets were shouting to board the Ark.
However, the Ark wasn't ready yet, so boarding was prohibited.
An hour later.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded throughout the base.
"Attention, all personnel, evacuate the Ark immediately!"
The booming broadcast echoed across the Ark base.
Hearing this, Chen Ye knew the plot was proceeding as expected.
In the original story, the tsunami arrived a day earlier than predicted.
The Vice President of the United States persuaded other world leaders to launch the Ark ahead of schedule.
As for the elite who hadn't boarded yet, they were mercilessly abandoned.
Eventually, a significant supporting character stepped up, convincing the leaders to let others board the Ark, though many died in the ensuing chaos and panic...
Chen Ye didn't want to wait any longer.
Seeing the Ark preparing to launch, he immediately told Murong Yuling, "Follow me!"
With that, Chen Ye strode forward.
Murong Yuling hurried to keep up.
At the entrance, security personnel naturally tried to stop them.
"Sir, please step back! It's not time to board the Ark yet!"
Chen Ye ignored him, waved his hand, and the middle-aged bald man blocking his way was sent flying.
Telekinesis activated!
"Ah!"
The bald man was thrown far away, screaming.
Such a commotion immediately drew everyone's attention.
The numerous security personnel at the entrance all drew their guns and aimed at Chen Ye.
"Sir, stop right now, or we will shoot!"
Chen Ye remained calm, his steps unpaused.
Ignoring the threat of guns!!
The security chief seemed to receive an order through his earpiece and immediately commanded, "Shoot him!"
Bang!
The loud gunshot echoed in the open base.
Hearing the gunshot, all the ordinary people dropped to the ground in fear, with many women and children screaming.
However.
In the next moment.
The entire scene fell silent again!
Everyone stared in disbelief at the bullet, suspended in mid-air.
A fired bullet, traveling at supersonic speed, suddenly stopped and defied physics, hanging in the air, motionless...
Such an eerie sight left everyone incredulous.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The only sounds were Chen Ye and Murong Yuling's footsteps.
Then.
Chen Ye waved his hand, and the bullet flew back, hitting the security chief in the forehead!
Thud!
The security chief collapsed without a scream.
"Fire, kill him!"
Someone ordered.
Upon hearing the command, the security personnel immediately pulled their triggers.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless bullets rained towards Chen Ye and Murong Yuling.
Seeing so many bullets, Murong Yuling's face turned pale.
But trusting Chen Ye, she stayed close to him.
Another strange phenomenon occurred.
Chen Ye raised his hand slightly, and all the bullets stopped, defying logic and hanging in the air.
There were at least a hundred bullets!
If people hadn't clearly seen the earlier single bullet, the sheer number of bullets now left no doubt.
"Oh, my God! What am I seeing?"
"Damn, is this guy a devil?"
"What kind of power is this? My God, it's incredible!"
"Devil, he's a devil!" a terrified rich man exclaimed.
"Does a real superhuman exist in this world?"
People were whispering and questioning in astonishment.
Chen Ye paid no attention to their thoughts and comments!
Having reached this point, he had no need to hide anymore. With his strength, he could do as he pleased.
With a gentle wave…
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Countless bullets flew back.
If they dared to shoot at him, they had to be prepared to be counterattacked!
Of course, due to the sheer number of bullets, Chen Ye couldn't control them precisely.
So, the bullets scattered.
"Ah!!"
Immediately, some security personnel fell, while others were hit in non-lethal areas, crying out in pain.
Chen Ye waved his hand again, and a powerful telekinetic shockwave dispersed the security personnel blocking the way.
Against these ordinary people, his telekinesis was more than enough.
Its deterrent power was also strong enough!
Indeed, Chen Ye was being high-profile to establish dominance, making the leaders fear him!
Since he didn't have a ticket, even if he boarded the Ark, he would be crammed with many common people.
He had come for a vacation; how could he endure such indignity?
He wanted the best room and the best resources!
Chen Ye strode forward, with Murong Yuling closely following.
"Quick, stop him! Stop that monster!!" a terrified leader shouted.
Real soldiers were mobilized, surrounding Chen Ye.
Numerous guns, including high-caliber rifles, were aimed at him.
Chen Ye finally stopped.
Everyone knew that high-caliber bullets had very high kinetic energy and were far more lethal than ordinary pistols. Even with his current mental strength, Chen Ye might not be able to block them.
Of course, Chen Ye could deflect the bullets by altering their trajectory, which shouldn't be a problem.
But this required precise control and was less intimidating.
He had Armament Haki, so getting hit wouldn't matter.
The main concern was potentially injuring Murong Yuling.
Just as Chen Ye was deciding whether to use weapons, a hand suddenly touched his back.
Then, a warm energy flowed into his body through the hand.
Chen Ye immediately felt his strength surge, and his mental power increased.
He looked at Murong Yuling in surprise.
Murong smiled and said, "This is the auxiliary combat ability I got from opening a silver chest yesterday: Amplify! It can boost a teammate's combat power but not my own… I got this thanks to you!"
"Nice ability… hold on tight, I'm going to show them!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Buzz!
A terrifying telekinetic storm erupted, sweeping through the entire army!!
…
(author note: I didn't use Conqueror's Haki to avoid harming the technical staff, which would make it difficult to pilot the Ark!)
