Influenced by the holy light, the fat woman's stomach growled even louder.
"Damn it, when are they finally going to stop this hype of phone calls and internet access? I'm starving!" She rubbed her empty stomach, looked at the dark and silent street, and murmured, "Angels please, get the food delivery trucks running again soon, I could eat a whole cow right now!"
Andrea's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and laughed, "That's wonderful! I love your wish!"
A holy light shone, and soon a food delivery truck appeared in the fat woman's delivery lane.
"Ding-dong!"
The food delivery bell rang as if under a spell, and the plump woman excitedly struggled to get up from the sofa, rushed over, grabbed a hot and fragrant steak, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Delicious! So delicious!"
She ate while muttering to herself, and soon the delicious beef filled and comforted her long-starved stomach.
"Burp! Is the delivery volume too large today? I don't think I ordered this much. Could it be that some kind young man delivered it again?" The fat woman burped, clearly already quite full, but her hands still kept grabbing the piping hot stewed beef and stuffing it into her mouth.
The fragrant broth overflowed from my mouth, dripping all over the floor;
She finally realized something was wrong, but her mouth was full of meat, so she swallowed it whole without even chewing, choking so badly she couldn't even cry for help. The fat woman managed to stuff the equivalent of a whole cow's worth of meat into her mouth before collapsing into the luxuriously decorated room and dying.
"This is the strangest wish I've ever granted—to eat a whole cow? You don't seem to know your own appetite very well. Look, you've probably eaten yourself to death by gluttony!" Andrea smiled and flapped her wings, randomly selecting a neighbor.
Next door lives a girl who wears glasses. The biggest mistake she ever made was being born into a very unfortunate family. Fortunately, she now has a very good life.
After flipping through the uninteresting past, Andrea drooped her wings and headed towards another neighbor's house.
Designers, operations staff, developers...
This beautiful little building is inhabited by people with all sorts of jobs, and angels walk in the dark night, choosing their prey.
While a bald man was convulsing and dying in front of a virtual girl in the city chosen by Andrea, Qin Xiaoyao was already approaching the mine with Jiang Chen's help.
"Why aren't they coming over yet? Have they noticed something's wrong?" The garrison, lying in ambush around the mine, carefully aimed at the jungle through thermal imaging cameras and night vision goggles, while complaining to their teammates over the channel.
The night air in the jungle is very humid, and being stuck in the grass for a long time makes you feel sticky and uncomfortable.
The two "scouts" sent by the rebels were spotted by the sentries before they even got close to the mine.
With advanced weaponry and enough men to ambush the enemy, the garrison, without Jiang Chen's help to use magic to cover their movements, would naturally expose their every move to the enemy's surveillance.
The garrison did not make any rash moves but waited quietly, while the mines, as planned, put on a show of complete relaxation of vigilance.
They even piled up all their supplies into a small mountain in the square in order to lure the rebels into attacking.
Sure enough, the two peasants looked around excitedly, and their discussion about calling the main force was overheard by the ambushers. After they left, the ambushers immediately adjusted their positions and waited for the rebels to walk right into their trap!
"Those two idiots? There's no way they'd notice anything amiss." A teammate scoffed softly in the chat. "They wouldn't even know they'd walked right through our encirclement!"
Judging from the time, they should be here soon, but they might want to delay until later. People are usually most tired and relaxed during that time.
The last attack on the camp happened around 3 a.m., right? Be patient, we'll soon achieve a great victory!
"Ha, what kind of bullshit rebel army is that? Just look at the words, actions and clothes of those two idiots. They're just a bunch of good-for-nothing rabble. They probably haven't even touched a decent gun before."
Previously, their only troublesome issue was their ability to roam freely, hide, and launch surprise attacks. Tonight, we'll wipe out that bunch of peasants in one fell swoop, and peace will be restored!
"Shh, stay alert and don't underestimate the enemy."
On the edge of the jungle, where the night was long and insects occasionally chirped, Jiang Chen used black silk threads to control Qin Xiaoyao, who crouched behind the bushes with agile movements to observe carefully.
The audience in front of the big screen held their breath in unison, afraid that their breathing might reveal the location of the lead actor.
"Hurry up and do everything you can to contact the garrison in Falling Moon City!" The white-haired leader's face twitched slightly. He had been busy all this time but still hadn't made much progress. He looked somewhat haggard in his anxiety and impatience.
The assistant reported with a furrowed brow, "All backup centers have been destroyed. We urgently contacted a group of maintenance personnel, but at this rate... we're afraid we won't be able to restore normal communication in the short term."
"Where's the satellite?"
"The entire signal transmission system has been destroyed, and the engineers have not yet found the source of the problem."
When is the limited power supply expected to be restored?
“The federal administrative cities are fine; they should be able to restore normal power in about three days. But the residential areas of the thirty-nine countries…” the assistant hesitated. “Those power grids are intricate and complex. All the maintenance robots are out of service, and there are simply too few human workers.”
You know, many residents are used to ordering food online, and without electricity there's no water supply, and we can't contact the various government departments..."
The higher the level of technological development, the stronger humanity's dependence on electricity resources.
At this point, the widespread power outage has already caused elevators to stop working, water pumps to stop pumping water, people to go hungry, and even fully automated sewage treatment plants to shut down, which will soon lead to a situation where the city is overflowing with filth and completely collapses.
"We must restore power as quickly as possible at all costs!" The leader slammed his fist on the table, his heart filled with anxiety.
After responding, the assistant did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a few seconds and lowered his voice to say, "Your Excellency, I personally went to the destroyed backup center and saw that the other party did a very thorough job, but no alarms were triggered."
This is very strange, it's like..."
He turned to look at the large screen that was still showing the "reality show." "Just like all screens that automatically turn on to play content, the engineers tried to draw current from the screen to make it work, but all attempts failed."
All the top scientists are racking their brains trying to figure out why the large screen is working properly and the network signal transmission is smooth. Logically, in this situation…
"Superhuman power." The leader's tone was slightly dejected.
When conveying emergency measures in meetings, he must demonstrate the professional qualities of a calm and composed head of state in the face of danger.
But in private, his signs of aging would become apparent.
Putting aside his distinguished status, this is an elderly human being in his seventies.
“It must be extraordinary power.” Seeing that his trusted aide did not understand, he explained, “It could be an angel, a demon, or some kind of miracle that we cannot even imagine.”
It's not something that can be done by manpower alone. Even if you know the internal facilities perfectly, it's useless; the alarm system alone wouldn't pass the test.
The assistant never expected to hear words like "angel" or "demon" from the usually serious head of state. If even he said such things, wouldn't that mean the Federation tacitly acknowledges the existence of such beings?
"Or, perhaps they bribed the staff to turn off the alarm?" He was momentarily confused and quickly made up an excuse.
If angels and demons really existed in the world, it would be a complete subversion of our understanding. Humans always instinctively avoid the terrifying unknown, and he tried to find a rationale to disprove the possibility of the existence of superhuman power.
The leader smiled silently and shook his head. "Child, you are too young and inexperienced. I, on the other hand, have truly seen angels and even had guardian angels!"
Although it felt like a dream, so far away, I'm sure I missed out on a lot of better things.
I was too young then to understand the meaning of having an angel. By the time I understood, it was too late. My angel had left sometime earlier and never appeared again.
Those are angels who can accompany humans as they grow up and grant any wish!
"Aren't angels supposed to be the most beautiful beings? Can they really cause destruction?" The assistant looked out at the pitch-black world with countless questions in his mind.
Unable to do anything without giving orders, the leader leaned back in his chair and said with a wry smile, "Then it must be a demon or some other miracle we don't understand."
There's nothing we can do right now except try to maintain order.
He pointed weakly at the big screen, "Look, we can only watch helplessly as our troops are about to be slaughtered."
Qin Xiaoyao in the picture moved.
The dagger in her hand gleamed coldly, and she shot out of the grass like an arrow, heading straight for the ambushing soldier at the front. The next second, a line of blood was seen streaking across the night sky, and the opponent had silently fallen into the grass.
Under the spell, no one noticed anything amiss.
Qin Xiaoyao didn't stop after her successful attack; she picked up her dagger and moved towards the next ambush post.
"No wonder he's a descendant of a brave general! Look at his skills, they're so cool!"
"What? Is this really a fashion show? It feels almost too real!"
"Qin Xiaoyao committed murder on her own initiative! We strongly protest! How did the Federal Headquarters review the reality show script? How can they allow such a negative message? Just because she's the lead actress, does that mean she can kill people at will?"
"My god, I've found a saint on the internet! And she's still alive and kicking! Come and see!"
"It's really strange. It doesn't look like a fashion show at all. What's going on? Can any experts analyze this?"
…………
Viewers in front of the screen were sending tens of thousands of comments per second, but it did not affect the speed of the "lead actor" at all.
"Host, should I go and sweep through first?" The fluffy little dumpling was getting excited, its little paws itching to see if it could also collect some things into its space. It hadn't swept through anything since arriving in this mission world.
The money-loving cat is very envious.
Jiang Chen waved his hand to stop it from acting rashly, "The things in the mine are all spoils of war. The more Qin Xiaoyao gets this time, the more she can win people's hearts. If we want to create a female war god persona for her, we still need to rely on resources."
Don't rush. Once the thirty-nine surrounding countries are completely unified, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to showcase your talents.
"Okay, meow~" the little white cat obediently responded, tucked its paws into its owner's shoulder, and continued watching the show.
The dim lights of the mine spread outwards, casting shadows on the surrounding jungle that were not clearly visible.
"Susu!"
There seemed to be some movement in the grass.
As one of the soldiers lying in ambush slowly turned the camera on his gun, he did not see any thermal imaging outline. Just as he was about to adjust the angle to observe other positions, a thin, dark figure suddenly pounced on him!
"Thump!" There was a heavy sound as something fell to the ground. Qin Xiaoyao's face slowly emerged from the bushes. She could already see the numerous supplies piled up in the square as bait.
Chapter Thirty: The Demon
Isn't this obviously a trap to lure the rebels into a trap?
Qin Xiaoyao grinned, feeling somewhat helpless towards the so-called resistance fighters.
Mr. Devil is right. They are no match for the garrison at all. If they hadn't been outmatched in a direct confrontation before, they would have been wiped out long ago.
Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't fail to recognize such blatant bait!
"Who goes there?!" Finally, a garrison soldier noticed something was wrong. The squad leader called out to his teammates in the channel but received no response. He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
The gun barrel swayed from side to side, aimed at the jungle outside the mine, trying to find the source of the sense of danger.
"Susu!"
A soft sound coming from somewhere made the squad leader's hair stand on end; he couldn't see any living creature in his field of vision.
There were no people or animals, not even a bird in the treetops.
Could the voice be coming from behind?
His sudden, chilling idea came to him, especially considering it was related to the mining headquarters...
"Bah!"
The squad leader slowly turned around and saw something, but in an instant, his throat was slit and blood spurted out, flowing down his neck. He covered his neck and couldn't make a sound, only able to watch helplessly as a small, thin figure flashed into the shadows and disappeared.
"Boom!"
