The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

In the living room of the Cloud Top Villa, Li Haotian was still laughing heartily at the netizens' talent.

Su Wan and Liu Hu, one pale-faced and the other with tense muscles, watched their boss laughing so hard he rolled around on the sofa, feeling that the world was more surreal than that collapsed building.

"Hahahaha..." Li Haotian finally stopped laughing and wiped away the tears that had come out of his eyes.

"The crayfish that predicted the end of the world, what a genius, truly a genius."

He picked up the remote and turned off the news, and the living room instantly fell silent.

Behind this tranquility, the entire underground world of Donghai City, and even the more remote dark corners, are experiencing an unprecedented cognitive storm because of this "takeout".

……

An emergency holographic meeting of the Supreme Elder Council of the "Purgatory" organization.

Twelve indistinct black figures surrounded a round table. Their physical locations were scattered across the globe, yet they were gathered together at this moment through the most advanced encryption technology.

In the center of the round table, a holographic projection is playing a video on a loop.

A perfect, mirror-smooth spherical cavity.

It hovered quietly at the foundation of the Genesis Tower, absorbing all light, as if connected to the nothingness of another dimension.

The meeting had been going on for ten minutes, and no one had spoken.

A deathly silence is more suffocating than any roar.

Finally, a burly figure codenamed "Tyrant" broke the silence with a hoarse voice.

"My men... were right on the outskirts. They didn't feel anything, they just suddenly lost their footing, and then... that was it."

Another sinister voice sounded, codenamed "Ghost".

"Spatial technology? No, S-class spatial awakeners can at most teleport to a fixed point or distort space. This method of directly 'erasing' a sphere from three-dimensional coordinates is unheard of."

"This is not a technology."

The bishop, dressed in a white priest's robe, finally spoke.

His hands were wrapped in thick bandages, but his voice was unusually calm.

"This is... divine punishment."

He paused, then projected another document onto the center of the round table.

It's a report about the butcher.

"The butcher was greedy and flamboyant, and he built his vault to be more luxurious than the imperial palace."

The bishop's gaze swept over every shadowy figure present.

"Don't you think this is more of a warning?"

An aged voice echoed, "The bishop means... that a being, beyond our comprehension, resides in Donghai City. And this being dislikes others... being too wealthy?"

This conclusion is utterly absurd, yet it seems perfectly reasonable in the face of that perfectly spherical cavity.

He doesn't like people showing off.

The bishop corrected this statement with certainty.

"The butcher died because he violated a taboo. That being, let's call him for now... 'The Voidwalker'."

He didn't like people flaunting their worldly wealth in front of him.

The bishop's words acted as a reassurance, allowing all the bigwigs present to find a logic that they could understand and accept.

It turns out that the attack wasn't indiscriminate; it followed a pattern.

"Pass on my orders."

The bishop's voice echoed throughout the conference room.

"All branches of the Purgatory Organization, effective immediately, cease all non-essential business. All members are prohibited from flaunting their wealth and abilities in any public or private setting."

"Donghai City is designated as an S-level restricted area. No one is allowed to set foot here until the temperament of the 'Voidwalker' is understood."

"We... need to learn to be in awe."

All the shadowy figures lowered their heads at the same time.

"Yes, ma'am."

……

Donghai City, another luxurious estate.

Beside the bathtub filled with the scent of roses, "Scorpion" stood barefoot on the cold marble floor.

On the screen in front of her, the comical smiling face and the phrase "Let's talk about the price of the membership package" seemed like a mockery from hell.

A female subordinate dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit walked in quickly with a serious expression.

"Scorpion Lord, the Genesis Building... has vanished."

"It didn't disappear."

Scorpion interrupted her, his eyes fixed on the screen.

"It was 'taken away'."

The female subordinate was stunned.

"Take it?"

"That's right." Scorpion's voice trembled slightly. "He didn't destroy the vault; he took the entire vault, along with the billions of dollars inside, and that fat pig, Butcher, and took it all!"

In her understanding, there is only one explanation for such mysterious and unpredictable methods.

Spatial transfer!

It can instantly transfer a spherical object with a diameter of fifty meters from one place to another!

What does this mean?

This means he could silently empty the treasury of any country! He could instantly deploy an army into the heart of the enemy!

This is no longer an assassin, no longer a warrior.

This is a mobile apocalyptic disaster!

And yet, I was just now testing such a being?

The scorpion felt a chill run from the soles of its feet straight to the top of its head.

"Money..." she murmured to herself.

"What, Scorpion Master?" The female subordinate didn't hear clearly.

"Send the money!"

The scorpion suddenly turned around and screamed at its subordinate.

"Move all the liquid funds from my private vault! No! That's not enough!"

As if she had just thought of something, all the color drained from her face.

"Let's use the money from our South American route! Let's raise fifty million US dollars!"

"Fifty...fifty million?" The female subordinate was stunned. "Wasn't our original trial fund only five million?"

"That was a test! This is atonement!"

Scorpion grabbed his subordinate by the collar, his eyes bloodshot.

"Go now! Immediately! Right now! Transfer the money to that anonymous account he specified!"

"I don't want my manor to turn into a ball tomorrow morning!"

The female subordinate scrambled out of the room.

The scorpion slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

She looked back at the comical smiling face on the screen, and the fear in her heart almost consumed her.

With trembling hands, she typed out a line of text.

[Scorpion: Sir, the money has been transferred. Please check.]

……

Cloud Top Villa.

Li Haotian's old cell phone rang with a "ding".

He picked it up and saw that it was an encrypted text message from a Swiss bank.

[Your account ending in xxxx received a deposit of $50,000,000.00 USD at xx time.]

"Heh, she's quite sensible."

Li Haotian pursed his lips, a satisfied expression on his face.

He opened the dark chat room and saw Scorpion's respectful message.

He thought for a moment, then casually clicked on a "handshake" icon in the emoji collection and sent it.

Then he tossed his phone aside and ignored it.

Upon seeing the "handshake" emoji in the manor, Scorpion was initially taken aback, but then an absurd and indescribable sense of honor welled up inside him.

The big boss... accepted her "offerings".

He was even willing to "shake hands" with her.

She felt as if she had just escaped death and been pulled back by the gods.

……

Dragon Shield Bureau, temporary command center.

Qin Yue stood in front of a huge whiteboard, feeling like she was about to explode.

On the whiteboard, three titles are written side by side in red marker.

【East China Sea Fishing God】

Sewer water monkey

[Doomsday Crayfish]

Below the three titles were various question marks and crosses representing "impossible".

"Report to Team Qin!" A technician ran over, holding a newly printed report.

"The results of the fingerprint comparison between the takeout order and the bag are in!"

"How is it?" Qin Yue turned around abruptly, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

"The fingerprints have been deliberately damaged, and no useful information can be extracted."

The technician swallowed hard and continued.

"However, we have identified the substance that damaged the fingerprints... It is a mixture of various puffed food seasoning powders, with the main components being... barbecue flavor and spicy crayfish flavor."

Qin Yue's chest heaved violently.

She stared intently at the three titles on the whiteboard.

A fisherman who used a fishing rod that cost 9.9 yuan (including shipping) to create a huge wave at the dock, outmaneuvered two major forces, and finally left with the words "the line broke and the fish got away" before walking away triumphantly.

A mysterious creature that appeared out of nowhere when the city's water supply was polluted, devoured all the extraordinary toxins, and was mistakenly referred to by netizens as a "water monkey".

A "delivery hero" who accurately predicted the destruction of Genesis Tower while eating potato chips and ordering takeout.

These three seemingly unrelated images gradually overlapped in Qin Yue's mind.

She clutched her forehead in pain, feeling as if an invisible hand was pressing her intelligence to the ground and rubbing it repeatedly with seasoning powder.

"puff--"

She couldn't hold it in any longer, and when she couldn't catch her breath, she started coughing violently.

At this moment, Li Haotian slowly sat up from the sofa.

He waved to Su Wan.

"Su Wan, come here."

"Sir?" Su Wan walked over timidly.

"Place an order for me," Li Haotian said.

"Okay, what do you need?"

"Two hundred kilograms of high-purity osmium-iridium alloy, please. Ten tons of premium biological nutrient solution. Also, one set of industrial-grade ultra-precision laser etching machine."

Li Haotian casually rattled off a string of terms that made Su Wan's scalp tingle.

Su Wan's lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word.

These items are all under strict military control and cannot be bought with money alone.

"Sir... what are these things used for?"

Li Haotian picked up the Coke on the table, took a sip, and then pointed to the garden outside the window.

"It's nothing, just tending to the flowers."

Su Wan looked in the direction he was pointing.

In the villa's garden, the flowers were in full bloom, and the night breeze made the branches sway.

But in Su Wan's eyes...

Those delicate roses, their buds seem to be peeking out sharp white fangs.

Those elegant tulips, their petals gleaming with a cold, metallic light.
