Bro, Are You Seriously Gonna Max Out Your Points in One Go?!

This damned, evil bastard! The one who makes straight men feel disgusted!

He actually calls us "little cakes"! What is he trying to do?

The slaves' faces turned pale as they watched with growing horror. More and more high-ranking slaves began shouting in fury: "Shoot! Shoot! Kill this bastard!"

"Where's the rocket launcher? Get it out, shoot him dead!"

"Fire! Fire! Right now!"

"Whoosh~!"

The single-man rocket, with its long fiery tail, shot toward Chen Dafeng, who was brazenly abducting people amidst the crowd.

"Boom!"

The explosion was deafening, shaking the air with its power. Dust and debris filled the air, and the makeshift defenses were blown open, leaving a gaping hole.

But before the smoke even cleared, Chen Dafeng had already broken through, dragging the iron chains behind him, continuing his abductions!

He wasn't hurt at all—completely unscathed. He didn't even bother to fight back.

Not only was Chen Dafeng unharmed, but even the slaves he had bound were fine.

One was a top-tier combat talent with exceptional stats; the others were slaves with a "damage-sharing" ability. Both sides were impervious to harm, making any attack utterly futile.

No matter how the slaves struggled or resisted, they couldn't stop Chen Dafeng's actions. They didn't even have the ability to kill the abducted slaves on the spot!

Everyone could only watch helplessly as Chen Dafeng gleefully dragged group after group out of the gathering place. Then, he'd return, only to repeat the process.

No one knew where the kidnapped slaves were taken or what they would face.

A growing sense of panic spread across the gathering place.

Since joining the City Center stronghold, this was the first time the slaves felt fear and dread. They had traded their freedom for security, but now, that security was no longer absolute.

And to make matters worse, the higher-ups remained silent, and the Master had yet to appear.

Everyone was forced to watch Chen Dafeng—whether from the open or in secret, whether with hatred or admiration.

"He's really enjoying this," Mike observed, his voice full of awe. While watching Chen Dafeng's actions, he called up Jiang Xiaoci.

"Sir, you called for me?"

"Xiaoci, what's the next move?" Mike inquired, having seen Chen Dafeng's actions. "Are you seriously going to let him abduct all these people?"

"Of course," Jiang Xiaoci replied with a smile. "Sir, I've prepared all the necessary countermeasures. Every person taken will be monitored by our forces immediately, disarmed, and undergo a new ideological transformation."

"At the same time, our research team will observe these people closely to assess the range and effects of Dongfang Qiang's talent on them."

"I will ensure their safety while making sure they won't pose any negative consequences for us."

Mike raised an eyebrow. "So, all of this depends on Chen Dafeng?"

Jiang Xiaoci chuckled. "It certainly does. But it's not just about Chen Dafeng. Our biggest problem isn't these slaves; it's Dongfang Qiang."

"The only way to win quickly is to find him. But he's too cautious. I suspect he's hiding among the crowd, using some sort of special tool to disguise his identity."

"We can't pinpoint which person is Dongfang Qiang, but as Chen Dafeng grabs more and more people, it becomes a process of elimination—a way to escalate the threat."

"If Dongfang Qiang can keep his composure, we might just waste some time. But sooner or later, we'll find his true identity in the crowd."

"But if he loses control—"

Jiang Xiaoci paused, her tone softer. "I suspect that in about two days, he'll reveal himself, making a desperate final stand."

Jiang Xiaoci had thoroughly analyzed Dongfang Qiang's personality. She knew he wouldn't risk his life against Mike. Instead, he would focus on escape. As long as he lived, there was hope.

Mike considered her analysis. Even without the intel he provided, Jiang Xiaoci could win this battle with ease. From the start, she understood the core mechanism of the apocalyptic game: the sanctuary.

No matter how strong the talent or how powerful the opponent, everyone was limited by the core sanctuary mechanism.

The sanctuary was both a powerful ally and a restriction. If you destroyed the enemy's sanctuary, everything else fell into place.

That's why Jiang Xiaoci had always emphasized protecting Mike and his sanctuary from the very beginning. With a strong, well-protected sanctuary, Mike's safety would be guaranteed.

She had already recognized that to defeat Dongfang Qiang, the focus had to be on his sanctuary. All her plans revolved around "how to conquer and destroy" his sanctuary.

It was like in a 5v5 strategy game—no matter how good the players were, the game could only end once the enemy's base was destroyed.

Mike, reflecting on Jiang Xiaoci's strategy, immersed himself in the planning process. It was more thrilling than any video game.

He even neglected the usual midday talent reward. After all, it was just a B-rank infinite bullet soldier turret—nothing remarkable.

He was too absorbed in the front-line developments, keeping his focus on Chen Dafeng's actions, witnessing his impressive, relentless captures throughout the day.

Chen Dafeng's efficiency and strength were astounding. Initially, he would only take a few hundred at a time, but soon, he grew impatient. Using his points, he obtained an almost basketball-court-sized ultra-long alloy platform.

He'd fill the platform with as many slaves as it could hold—at least 3,000! Bound together by chains, he'd simply lift the platform and jump away with incredible power.

Mike was stunned, much like the people in the City Center stronghold. This man... was he even human? His raw strength seemed otherworldly.

"That's insane!" Mike thought. He had never seen anyone capable of lifting something as large as a basketball court before.

When Mike saw Chen Dafeng's monstrous strength firsthand, it shattered his perception of S-rank combat talents.

"Chen Dafeng, what are you doing?"

Wang Shi was equally shocked. "Have you undergone some kind of body modification?"

Chen Dafeng grinned. "What? Can't you see? What's the matter, did the higher-ups change their minds? Not giving me my points anymore?"

"No, not that…" Wang Shi stammered.

"Well then, it's fine," Chen Dafeng sighed in relief, looking content as he glanced at the bound slaves. "The higher-ups gave me the go-ahead, so I'm earning those points. No going back on their word!"

Mike, observing from the shadows, could only take a deep breath.

For the points, this guy would stop at nothing!

Jiang Xiaoci might not have planned to empty the City Center, but Chen Dafeng certainly did! He was bent on doing just that!

With his terrifying pace, Chen Dafeng had already taken more than 20,000 people in just a few hours.

The City Center had only about 80,000 people in total. At this rate, within a day or two, Chen Dafeng would have emptied the entire population!

Even Jiang Xiaoci hadn't anticipated his wild, uncontrolled actions.

By nightfall, over 40,000 had already disappeared.

And finally, Dongfang Qiang could no longer hold back. He made his move.
