Chapter 25 Absolute Strength

"This, this is impossible? How could he be so strong?"

Looking at Shi Xuan walking towards him step by step, Zhang Jianpan was completely scared and even forgot to run away. He just kept shaking his head to deny this cruel reality.

Zhang Jianpan thought that Shi Xuan might be very strong, but he never thought that he could be so strong!

In Zhang Jianpan's original idea, although Shi Xuan had destroyed the zombie tide, he should be a strong man of the same level as the Flame King. Even if he was stronger than the Flame King, it should be limited.

Because he had seen with his own eyes that Shi Xuan and the Flame King communicated on an equal footing.

If there was really an existence far stronger than the Flame King, how could he communicate with the Flame King on an equal footing?

It was because he firmly believed in his heart that Shi Xuan and the Flame King were strong men of the same level.

So Zhang Jianpan dared to spread rumors about Shi Xuan unscrupulously in the base of Jicheng.

Because according to his idea, even if the rumor he spread was exposed.

As a strong man of the same level, and still in the opponent's base.

Shi Xuan would not go too far for the sake of King Yan's face. Even if he was angry, he would not target himself.

But what Zhang Jianpan never expected was that Shi Xuan was willing to communicate with King Yan on an equal footing because he admired his character and personality, and it had nothing to do with his own strength!

Shi Xuan's true strength was that he could even control fifty mutant beast lords!

That was a mutant beast lord!

Even if there was only one, he could be on par with a fifth-level superpower.

And now Shi Xuan could control a full fifty, which meant that he had fifty times the strength of King Yan!

With such a huge gap in strength, Shi Xuan would still care about his face!

Not to mention himself, even the second-in-command of the Jicheng base was beaten into a pulp by Shi Xuan because he provoked him!

The reason why Zhang Jianpan's plan failed this time can be said to be entirely because he underestimated Shi Xuan's strength from the beginning.

He had never thought that Shi Xuan's strength was so strong that he could ignore the rules and the secular world and directly sweep everything away.

"Do you have anything to say now?"

Just when Zhang Jianpan was thinking about it, Shi Xuan's voice sounded again. It turned out that he had walked closer.

"Me? What are you doing? Put me down!"

Before Zhang Jianpan could react, Shi Xuan ordered a giant elephant-shaped mimic lord to wrap him up with his nose and lifted him from the ground to the air.

Zhang Jianpan struggled in fear in the air, but he couldn't get rid of it at all. This was comparable to the giant elephant's nose of a fifth-level superpower.

"Wait, you can't kill me! You can't kill me now!"

Zhang Jianpan, who was panicked, threw out his last trump card anxiously.

"If you kill me now, those rumors about you will be completely dead and there will be no evidence! No one can clarify that those rumors are all fabricated! You will never be able to restore your reputation!"

It turns out that Zhang Jianpan's last trump card is the rumors he spread himself.

"As long as you promise not to kill me, I will tell everyone in the base in person that those rumors about you were all fabricated by me out of jealousy to slander you! Only in this way can you clean up the stain on your image! Otherwise, even if you kill me, those rumors will never be eradicated! Do you know?"

He was betting that Shi Xuan would care about his reputation, so that in order to clarify those rumors, the other party would let him go.

But obviously he made a wrong bet this time!

"Stain? Reputation? Do you think I took action against you because of these things?"

Listening to Zhang Jianpan's words, Shi Xuan just smiled contemptuously and explained immediately.

"The reason I killed you is just because you insulted my family! And those who insult my family must die! That's all."

As he spoke, the coldness in Shi Xuan's eyes flashed again.

"As for the so-called reputation, I don't care at all! If someone spreads rumors about my family after you die, I will kill him again! Kill one if there is one, kill two if there are two, and after they are scared, the rumors will naturally stop spreading."

Shi Xuan looked at Zhang Jianpan with contempt again.

"As a frequent player in playing with people's hearts, you should know better than me that good words can never make rumors disappear. Only fear can eliminate them, right?"

Kill one if there is one, kill two if there are two, and only fear can eliminate rumors!

Listening to this bloody sentence, Zhang Jianpan couldn't help but tremble all over.

Because no one knows the correctness of this sentence better than him.

In the old world, as the number one leader of a certain navy, he had seen more than once that the victims who were entangled in rumors would be misunderstood the more they clarified their rumors.

Finally, a relevant law was introduced, stipulating that rumor-mongering requires imprisonment. Because of the fear of imprisonment, those who were once irresponsible and gossiping were truly silenced.

In this apocalypse, there is obviously no longer any constraint of laws and regulations, so if you want to make people afraid, the only way is to kill them.

If you are afraid, you will not spread it anymore.

Although this principle is simple and crude, it is a true saying.

And if Shi Xuan wants to do all this, he doesn't need others to help him clarify it, so Zhang Jianpan's last trump card is invalid.

"I"

For a moment, Zhang Jianpan wanted to say something but stopped, because he suddenly felt that what he had done before was so ridiculous.

"Haha, it's ridiculous that I naively thought that I could rely on the pressure of public opinion to force all the strong men to bow to me, but I forgot that in this doomsday, there is no order anymore, and absolute strength is the foundation."

Yes!

The reason why Zhang Jianpan was able to thrive in the online world in the old world was entirely because it was a peaceful era.

The general environment does not allow violent incidents to occur, so most people will choose to bow to rumors out of helplessness.

But now that the end of the world has come, when people face rumors, the best choice is obviously no longer to bow.

It can be imagined that even if Shi Xuan is not encountered today, in the future, there will inevitably be strong men who will directly use violent means to end Zhang Jianpan's so-called sword of public opinion.

Because in the final analysis, in this doomsday, strength is the foundation, and public opinion and power are all false!

When your strength is strong enough, no matter what the outside world says about you, just smash it with one punch!

But unfortunately, it's too late to figure this out now.

Looking at Zhang Jianpan who was hesitant to speak, Shi Xuan didn't have any sympathy in his eyes, because the other party's current fate was completely his own fault.

"It seems that you have nothing to say, so go to hell."

Immediately, with Shi Xuan's cold order, the giant elephant lord's nose exerted force, and Zhang Jianpan was cut off in the air.

Tear!

Blood was scattered all over the ground, and the two sections of the body fell heavily to the ground.

Plop!

With this muffled sound, the rumor time that almost shocked the entire Jicheng base this time also came to an end.

"Huh, it's over."

Looking at the mess in front of the institute, Shi Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had completely spit out the anger that he had been holding for a long time.

Then, Shi Xuan seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around and walked towards a survivor who had not run far away.

"Shi, Lord Shi Xuan, what are you going to do?"

The survivor, watching the tragic deaths of Zhang Jianpan and Feng Yunsheng, was obviously frightened. When he saw Shi Xuan coming over, he couldn't even speak clearly.

But Shi Xuan, who came closer, just threw him a USB flash drive from the old world and said.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to cause trouble for you. This USB flash drive contains a video of Zhang Jianpan admitting that he spread rumors. You can show it to other high-level officials of the base and King Yan."

Shi Xuan explained to himself.

"Although I'm not afraid of trouble, some things are better explained. As for Feng Yunsheng, I did kill him in a fit of anger. If anyone wants revenge, feel free to come to me. I will stay in the institute for half a month. If it exceeds half a month, I will go back to Panlong Mountain."

After saying that, Shi Xuan turned around and walked back to the institute.

"This is the USB drive that Jianpan admitted to spreading rumors? And he asked someone to seek revenge on you? Who dares?"

The survivor was left standing there in a daze, holding the USB drive in his hand, and had not yet reacted to what had just happened.

Of course, due to the terrible scene he had just seen, how could he dare not obey Shi Xuan's orders?

So although he didn't know the specific reason, he still obediently gave the USB drive to other base executives and King Yan, and relayed Shi Xuan's words to them intact
