The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality
Chapter 279 The ransom was demanded from me, the Bloody Gentleman?
Xu Feng spoke calmly, yet each word carried a powerful, penetrating force, as he continued:
"I understand your weariness and your doubts. A century without war and generations of empty defenses would shake anyone."
"But you must remember that the destruction of the previous civilization is no joke, and the despair etched in those ruins is not a fabricated lie."
"The Silent Containment Tower has been free of prisoners for a century, not because the catastrophic creatures do not exist. We should be grateful for this century of peace and tranquility."
"But this peace is never permanent. The shadow of destruction has never dissipated; it is merely lying dormant, waiting for an opportunity to break through the soil."
"You think it's pointless to stay here? But we are the last line of defense for human civilization, the only shackles that were prepared in advance."
"If the catastrophic event occurs, we will be the only ones who can stop the world from collapsing."
"Now that I stand here as your warden, I will lead you to guard this tower and uphold this seemingly useless commitment."
"Recently, doomsday rhetoric has been rampant around the world, and even doomsday cults have emerged. Those maggots are constantly hoping that the cataclysmic disaster will actually come!"
"Our mission is to contain the catastrophic object into this silent containment tower the moment it appears."
Xu Feng observed the changes before him; the atmosphere wasn't particularly enthusiastic, which was expected.
He then turned around, stepped down from the platform, and walked towards the warden's office on the top floor of the Silent Containment Tower.
The office was minimalist and solemn, with containment procedures and disaster information files from various regions on the desk.
Xu Feng removed his silver mask and casually placed it on the table. He tapped the surface lightly with his fingertips as he analyzed the situation in the instance and his subsequent plans.
Leisurely footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and a female operator dressed in professional office attire gave a somewhat perfunctory report:
"Warden! Another monstrous object has appeared. I don't know if it's real or fake this time."
Xu Feng was speechless. Since the establishment of the Silent Containment Tower, it had received countless false alarms.
However, the warden of this silent containment tower always insisted that every alarm be reported to him and taken seriously.
The female operator sat down directly on the desk, showing off her attractive figure to Xu Feng, and casually said:
"A suspected anomaly signal has appeared in Anxi Town, the Kingdom of Kidneys in the Western Continent. Our monitoring personnel there seem to have been kidnapped by the gang again, and we may need to go there to pay a ransom!"
"Warden, how about we have some sex before we go to ransom them?"
As she spoke, the female operator Susan unbuttoned the top button of her collar, revealing her snow-white skin.
Xu Feng looked at Susan speechlessly. This girl had tried to seduce the original BOSS more than once, but the original BOSS remained unmoved.
This unique sense of relaxation is speechless.
Speaking of which, the gangs in this country often kidnap their weather forecasters and demand ransoms, ranging from 200,000 to 500,000 each time, and they've paid that many times.
There was nothing they could do; this Silent Containment Tower was practically useless now, and even the gangsters of the Kidney Country dared to trample on them at will.
Xu Feng was speechless. Being a boss on a business trip was rather pathetic!
Still no solution, are we just going to give up?
However, Xu Feng guessed that the police report was likely true, and the strange object had probably already appeared.
However, this 2400-point peak national war instance was somewhat different from what Xu Feng had imagined.
He thought it would be high-pressure mode right from the start!
The resulting sense of relaxation was simply baffling.
"It's still unknown whether they were kidnapped by gangsters. By the way, have they called demanding a ransom?"
Xu Feng's voice was as cold as ice. His fingertips were already pressed on the emergency contact button on the corner of the table, and the playfulness in his eyes was completely replaced by coldness.
He wasn't concerned about the ransom; he was confirming it.
Is this the dirty work of the gang, or the appearance of some strange and monstrous entity?
The female operator, Susan, was taken aback, clearly not expecting him to ask that question. She casually adjusted her collar, her posture remaining relaxed.
"Not yet. Maybe those guys forgot? After all, our budget is almost gone, and they know we can't come up with much. Maybe they're just bluffing."
"Forgot?"
Xu Feng chuckled softly, but there was no warmth in his laughter.
He knows this process all too well.
It's unclear whether the former warden has completely given up, but this top-tier boss of the national war dungeon with a peak score of 2400 has actually paid the ransom time and time again.
From 200,000 to 500,000, once someone pays, they'll do it again. The gangsters in the country have even made kidnapping surveyors a regular business.
But now, he is the bloodthirsty gentleman who is the warden.
He stood up abruptly, the hem of his prison robe sweeping across the table, the resulting gust of wind causing the disaster report files on the table to flutter slightly, the three characters "Anxi Town" on the cover being blown about.
"Susan."
Xu Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it instantly made the air in the entire office freeze.
The Bloodstained Gentleman's imposing aura erupted involuntarily, his robes fluttering even without wind, and he spoke calmly:
"First, the rules of the Silent Containment Tower do not include a clause about paying a ransom to rescue a monitoring operator."
"Secondly, the gangs in the country of kidneys dared to kidnap my people and cross my bottom line; they deserve to die."
"Third, the town of Anxi has been out of contact for more than twelve hours without any feedback. It's not that the gang forgot to collect the ransom; it's that the people there are probably no longer able to make phone calls. I suspect it's very likely that an extremely dangerous anomaly has occurred."
Xu Feng had already made his plans. Regardless of whether it was a calamity or not, it could only be caused by a calamity.
Aren't these calamity-causing objects just things used to settle accounts?
Even if he slaughtered all the people of the Kidney Kingdom, he could just blame it on some kind of calamity.
It seems the former warden had no idea what it meant to be a murderer and arsonist who would be rewarded with a gold belt.
But it's okay, he's a bloodthirsty gentleman, he understands!
Thinking of this, Xu Feng revealed an elegant and cruel smile. It seemed that no one had dared to provoke him for a long time.
Xu Feng was so excited that his brain was trembling. He didn't even know what to do if he slaughtered everyone in the Kingdom of Kidneys.
How many levels can he be promoted to?
In Xu Feng's eyes, this inhumane country full of evil and killing has no reason to exist!
Justice requires an absolute, iron-fisted order to maintain it!
Susan's languid expression froze instantly, as if she were bound by cold shackles, making even breathing difficult.
Susan then realized that the warden who had been parachuted in was completely different from the submissive and easily manipulated former one.
"Prepare the machine." Xu Feng turned and said to the female secretary beside him, walking steadily towards the door, his fingertips already touching the edge of the silver mask:
"Assemble an elite containment team and proceed to the helipad immediately."
"If it really is a gang, I will make sure that the Kingdom of Kidneys disappears from the map completely."
"If it really is a catastrophic object..."
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Xu Feng's eyes. He paused, his tone carrying the confidence that came with absolute numbers:
"I will personally contain it, and even if it is a cataclysmic monster, it will not escape my grasp."
