Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 741 Was there really a need to dodge bullets deliberately?

"First of all, I want to say that the establishment of the new city is to nurture more outstanding young people," Samuel said solemnly as he sat in his chair. "The purpose of this base is to serve as humanity's last bastion, preparing for the salvation of all mankind and welcoming back the light. Those of you present, if you harbor any other intentions, please leave now!"

The sudden change of heart within the Jones family had indeed caught Samuel off guard.

However, the documents he received from Washington had clearly outlined how to handle certain "special situations."

For those harboring ulterior motives, intending to split the human alliance, there would be no mercy.

Walker's approach of using strength to intimidate everyone also made Samuel resolve to be more ruthless.

To hell with the Jones family!

If their intent was to divide the world and engage in acts that harm their own people, then they would be eliminated!

Everyone present understood that Samuel was serious!

Being expelled from the base!

What did that mean?

Without the protection of the base, even an average S-class superhuman would struggle to survive outside, and death would likely be their only fate.

"The construction of the underground city must prioritize the safety of the people, not create different social classes!" Samuel took out a document and said, "Everything that happened in today's meeting will be reported truthfully. If you are still willing to protect this base together and aim to save all of humanity, I am willing to overlook past transgressions."

These are extraordinary times, and many places need people.

If everyone were killed, who would save the ordinary people?

Indeed, we cannot afford too much internal strife now.

Those present had once been full of passion, standing on the front lines to save the world, and had made significant contributions.

Sometimes people change, but they should at least be given a chance...

With these words from Samuel, the remaining people expressed their intentions to reform and serve the base faithfully.

Being expelled from the base, they were well aware of what that meant.

The idea of special class privileges was indeed very appealing, but first, they needed to survive!

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Wes spoke up, "Commander Samuel, please continue."

When Kyle had spoken about treating ordinary people differently, Wes had felt a strong urge to eliminate him right there and then. However, he only fantasized about it in his mind, never daring to actually make a move.

Now that things had calmed down, he wished he could step into Walker's shoes and stand up against such extreme statements!

Due to his reserved nature, Wes couldn't be as bold as Walker, not to mention the differences in strength and background.

Walker's power and background allowed him to kill Kyle without a second thought and without considering the consequences, something Wes wasn't capable of yet.

Although he couldn't do it himself, seeing Walker take such actions was still thrilling for him.

Next time for sure!

Next time, he would be able to do it too!

Samuel continued, "First, we need to properly construct the internal facilities of Arcane Village, providing a stable living environment for all the original residents and refugees."

"The war with the Mutated creatures won't end quickly. It might take generations of effort to restore our former civilization, and we need to be prepared for that," Samuel said. "That's why we need to establish correct values for our youth and also help them awaken their superpowers."

"Therefore, we need to establish schools to nurture a strong next generation!"

...

No one was naive enough to think that we could quickly restore peace in the face of powerful Mutated creatures.

This was destined to be a prolonged war.

Cultures around the world have deep historical roots, and although there have been beliefs in deities since ancient times, most cultures primarily venerate their ancestors.

Peace has always been bought with the blood of our forebears, and no matter how long the war lasts, it will eventually return to peace.

During this meeting, no one raised any objections.

Until Samuel introduced, "I would like to introduce a new colleague to everyone here, William."

"He is very agile and proficient in the language of beasts," Samuel said. "He will serve as the head of our base's reconnaissance unit and as our base's beast language instructor."

Hearing his appointment, William smiled and waved to everyone present.

"William?" The previously sullen-faced young man glanced at William and said, "Is that the William who's kept by a woman?"

Samuel narrowed his eyes and responded, "I know there might be some misunderstandings about William, but he truly has genuine skills. I've tested him myself."

"Tested?" The young man laughed loudly. "Commander Samuel, when you say 'tested,' do you mean in bed?"

"Ivan, what are you implying?" Samuel was on the verge of exploding.

Ivan was not intimidated by Samuel and said, "Commander Samuel, since we're speaking openly, I'll serve the base without seeking any privileges. If you want to kill me, go ahead."

Samuel quickly calmed down. Ivan was Hugo's older brother. Hugo had left the base with William, and his body was never recovered. It was natural for Ivan to have issues with William.

"Are you questioning William's abilities, or are you trying to blame Hugo's death on him?" Samuel didn't beat around the bush and addressed the issue directly, "Hugo left the city on his own, and he didn't die by William's hand. If you're looking to seek revenge on William, I won't allow it."

"Seek revenge?" Ivan said coldly, "I'm not that petty. But what exactly is William's skill level? What qualifies him to be the head of the reconnaissance unit?"

"And this beast language, can he really speak it? Commander Samuel, have you verified this?" Ivan was confrontational, "Why don't you send him out to talk to those Mutated creatures, maybe convince them all to commit suicide?"

"As for the beast language, I haven't verified that, but I have witnessed his agility," Samuel was tired of arguing with Ivan. People looking for trouble was inevitable, and no amount of talking would be as convincing as William demonstrating his skills himself.

"I let test it!" Ivan declared, and suddenly, a large handgun appeared in his hand.

"Bang!"

He didn't intend to give William a chance to react, raising his hand and firing the gun.

The gun was aimed right at William's forehead.

The next moment, a huge dent appeared in the metal wall behind William, who hadn't moved an inch from where he sat.

A throwing knife was now embedded in Ivan's throat.

Walker had made his move.

Ivan had intended to kill William with a single shot, but Walker ended Ivan's life with one swift throw of his knife.

William's expression remained unchanged; he didn't need to make any move. By the time Walker's knife struck, Ivan's bullet was already off course.

Was there really a need to dodge bullets deliberately?

Such amateur marksmanship!

"Does anyone still have doubts?" Walker didn't waste words. He had said he would protect William. Although he wasn't sure if William could have dodged the bullet, he decided to intervene anyway.

The meeting room fell silent.

A meeting that ended with three people dead,Walker was a madman.

And William, the guy who was supposedly kept by a woman, even had Walker protecting him. His connections must be really deep.

It was just the position of head of the reconnaissance unit. Let him have it. Besides Hugo, who else would dare to challenge that?
