Superbase Evolution

Chapter 10 Bet
A capsule-shaped blue metal as big as an egg changed rapidly in the air, just like a Transformer. When it landed on the ground, it had magically transformed into a robot gunner with a blue metal exoskeleton all over his body. The robot gunner had a metal holster on his waist and a metal cowboy hat on his head.

The speedster is a head taller than the average man, with a face that looks like a skull with a metallic luster and red light flashing in his eyes. He looks weird and scary, yet has an indescribable sense of horror and beauty.

"That's... the Speedster..." Someone among the mutants in the audience exclaimed in envy.

Most people have only seen rare alloy creatures like the Speedster in videos, and this is the first time for most mutators to see one in real life.

"Isn't it too extravagant to use a speedster as a touchstone?" Lao Ye said.

He naturally knew how powerful the speedster was. If he encountered a speedster in the wild, he could use the terrain, equipment, and the power of the genetically modified pet to deal with the speedster, which was not too difficult.

But the venue is so small now, and equipment and pets cannot be used. Even Lao Ye is not sure he can deal with the speedster in this situation, and he may even be injured by the speedster.

If that were the case, it would not be possible for him to act on behalf of Lin Shen, as Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer would certainly force Lin Shen to take action.

Although Lin Shen had just demonstrated his ability to snatch a gun with his bare hands, which was considered a stunning feat, Lao Ye knew very well in his heart that Lin Shen had not even completed his basic transformation, and he must not be allowed to fight a speedster head-on.

"I think it's okay. We can't let others laugh at our three families, right? It's rare that Mr. Qi is so generous and willing to use such a rare speedster as a touchstone. I have no problem with it. What do you think, Mr. Lin?" Wang Tianer and Qi Shuheng sang the same tune, as if they could not tolerate Lin Shen's refusal.

Lao Ye wanted to speak up to help Lin Shen, but Lin Shen said calmly, "I've always been very ruthless when I attack. It would be a pity if such a rare pet was destroyed like this."

"He's just an alloy-grade speedster, nothing special. Since Fourth Master Lin has no objection, let's just leave it as it is." Qi Shuheng put it bluntly.

Lao Ye sighed in his heart: "Although Xiaowu is smart, he has not experienced much before and has too little experience in handling things. How can he fight against Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer. I can only fight desperately and help Xiaowu get through this. But the speedster is so fast that there is no chance in a head-on confrontation. If it doesn't work, I can only withstand the speedster's attack and take a risk. I hope that both sides will suffer losses. As long as the speedster is destroyed, I should be able to deal with this. As for whether the Qi and Wang families will be more suspicious, I can't worry about it now."

"There is only one speedster, and we have three of us. You are looking at me like that. Could this be prepared for me?" Lin Shen stared at Qi Shuheng and said coldly.

Qi Shuheng coughed twice. "Master Lin, you are worrying too much. It is natural that we will take turns to fight. Everyone has to go on stage. How can it be prepared just for you? We can't miss such an opportunity to show our strength. Master Lin, if you are so impatient, we can let you go on stage first."

"Don't show off your cheap tricks in front of me. Don't you just want to see me take action? There's no need to be so troublesome. It's as simple as that." Lin Shen raised his right hand and extended a finger in front of Qi Shuheng.

"Fourth Master, what do you mean?" Qi Shuheng didn't understand what Lin Shen meant.

"One strike, just one strike, and I can subdue him. If I do it, he will be mine." Lin Shen pointed his finger at the speedster.

"Fourth Master..." Lao Ye was anxious. In his opinion, Lin Shen wanted to use this method to force Qi Shuheng to retreat, but this idea was too naive. How could Qi Shuheng retreat at this time?

Although the speedster was precious, for the Qi family, it was worth it to exchange the speedster for a chance to verify Lin Shen's identity. Lin Shen waved his hand to stop him from continuing, and said nothing, just looked at Qi Shuheng with contempt.

"Since Fourth Master is so interested, I will accompany you. Just try your best. If you can subdue the speedster with one strike, he will be yours. But according to our previous agreement, you can only use your own genetic power, and you cannot use pets or other weapons." Qi Shuheng said slowly with his eyes narrowed.

"It's over!" Lao Ye sighed in his heart. Things had developed to this point, and it was impossible for Lin Shen to ask him to take action on his behalf.

Lao Ye's mind was racing, thinking about how to break the impasse, when he heard Lin Shen say "OK" and actually stood up and walked away.

Lao Ye was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Lin Shen was planning. That was an alloy-level speedster. Lin Shen wasn't even at the steel level. What could he do? Not to mention that the speedster was so fast that Lin Shen couldn't catch up. Even if the speedster stood there and let Lin Shen hit him, I'm afraid Lin Shen wouldn't be able to break his defense.

Although Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer did not know Lin Shen's background as well as Lao Ye, they also did not believe that Lin Shen could subdue the speedster with one strike.

They all acknowledged that Lin Xiangdong was very powerful, but they did not quite believe that he could subdue a speeding gunman with one strike.

As for whether Lin Xiangdong could kill the speedster with one strike, they still believed there was some possibility, but subduing him with one strike was more difficult than killing him. This was the difference between beheading and capturing him alive. Even if the person in front of them was really Lin Xiangdong, they did not think that he could capture the speedster alive with one strike and leave him no room to resist or struggle.

If it really came to that, the speeding gunman should have been shot to death. In that case, it would be useless for Lin Xiangdong to take it away.

"Lin Xiangdong is too arrogant." Wang Tianer said gritting his teeth. Now he was somewhat convinced that this person should be Lin Xiangdong. Apart from Lin Xiangdong, he really couldn't think of another person so arrogant in the Xuanniao Base.

"Even if he is really Lin Xiangdong, he doesn't stand much chance of winning." Qi Shuheng snorted coldly.

Seeing Lin Shen walking towards the speeding gunman step by step, countless thoughts flashed through Lao Ye's mind, but he didn't know how to break the current dilemma.

"We must not let anything happen to Brother Xiaowu. Even if he is exposed, we must protect him." Lao Ye has made up his mind to fight to the death and will not let Lin Shen get hurt at any cost.

"Fourth Master, why don't you use your genetic power?" Qi Shuheng saw that Lin Shen was less than two meters away from the speeding gunman, and his body still hadn't changed at all, so he could only frown and say.

"He's just a speedster, why would I need to use my genetic power to subdue him?" Lin Shen glanced at the speedster and said proudly.

After these words were spoken, not only Qi Shuheng and Wang Tianer felt that Lin Shen was too arrogant, but even Bai Shenfei and Wei Wufu looked at Lin Shen with strange eyes.

The ordinary mutants in the audience were whispering to each other, thinking that Lin Xiangdong was too arrogant.
