Not far away, Little Dezi’s face and head were swollen all over, his head swollen like a pig’s.

If not for that exaggerated red garment he was wearing, probably no one would have been able to recognize this as the previously arrogant and haughty Little Dezi.

Originally, Chen Ye had wanted to go beat up that so-called “Emperor.”

This guy’s tone earlier was really infuriating.

Who cares what emperor or not emperor.

Chen Ye just wanted to beat him up too right now.

However, after Chen Ye circled around the third floor of the Apocalyptic Fortress, he didn’t see any place where he could open a car door.

Clearly, this so-called “Emperor” was very cautious and seemed to have anticipated a situation like today long ago.

Therefore, the entire third floor was made of a very special metal.

Chen Ye tried using Hatred on it, but could only cut a tiny notch.

This situation even surprised Chen Ye a little.

You have to understand, usually when using Hatred, whether for chopping firewood or cutting parts from other cars, it was almost effortless.

Plus, Hatred’s “Hidden Edge” trait made its sharpness beyond imagination.

This was the first time encountering such a situation.

Regarding this, Chen Ye could only give up.

However, the so-called “Emperor” didn’t show up throughout the whole process.

According to Little Dezi’s words, his “Majesty” was currently resting, and after His Majesty woke up, this “commoner” Chen Ye would be in big trouble.

Chen Ye went up and gave Little Dezi a good old-fashioned beating.

This guy’s mouth was really tough;
even after being beaten like this, he still kept calling him “commoner” with every breath.

It was simply infuriating.

…

“You… hello, I am… am Chen Hao!”

“Quotation Sequence… Sequence 2…”

Before them was a man who looked easy to bully at first glance, an honest man. The clothes on his body were the simplest: jeans and a checkered shirt.

The hair on his head also looked like a messy bird’s nest.

An old pair of glasses, held together with yellow tape, was perched on his face.

The first impression he gave was honest, easy to bully.

His complexion was also somewhat pale, looking a bit tired.

As a superhuman, it wasn’t hard to guess that this person had likely used his ability to block the giant rock earlier.

This kind of action also placed some burden on him.

“Thank you for earlier. If not for you, many of us would likely have died.”

Chu Che amiably extended his hand.

An awkward expression appeared on the honest man’s face: “It’s… it’s fine, everyone… everyone should help… help each other!”

Chen Ye, rubbing his wrist, walked over and patted this person’s shoulder: “You saved Iron Lion earlier, we’re all friends now. If you have any trouble in the future, just tell me directly!”

“However, your Quotation Sequence is really impressive!”

Chen Hao awkwardly rubbed his hands: “It’s okay, it’s okay…”

“The Quotation Sequence is the same as everyone else’s…”

This person had no guile;
he answered whatever everyone asked.

After learning more, they found out that Chen Hao was a homebody programmer before the apocalypse.

Every day, he took on some freelance work from the internet at home to survive. Due to long periods without social contact, his ability to interact with people had rapidly deteriorated.

According to him, he once didn’t leave the house for a month and didn’t speak to anyone for three months.

Actually, Chen Hao becoming a homebody also had to do with his stutter.

This kind of problem made it very difficult for him to find a job, which is why he became a homebody.

After the apocalypse, he somehow awakened the Quotation Sequence and became a superhuman.

Later, he encountered this Apocalyptic Fortress, lost a bet with the owner of the Apocalyptic Fortress, and joined the Apocalyptic Fortress’s convoy.

Because he didn’t want to live inside the Apocalyptic Fortress, he always drove this little Happy Prince vehicle separately, living on his own.

Chen Ye’s eyes widened as he listened.

“Wait, you lost a bet so you listen to him?”

“Yeah, we… we agreed on it before, I… I also agreed to it… it!”

Chen Hao’s face showed some indignation, but he still spoke firmly.

“No way, buddy, does he have some kind of leverage over you?”

Chen Ye still didn’t believe someone could be this faithful to an agreement.

This is the apocalypse.

Even before the apocalypse, some people could break contracts they signed.

Just because of one bet, you have to be under someone’s control forever?

Chen Ye felt the person before him was his complete opposite.

He also understood now why that earlier oath had made that Little Dezi believe so firmly.

Chen Hao shook his head: “No… there isn’t!”

Chen Ye laughed heartily: “Haha… then it’s easy! Just treat that damn bet like a fart and let it go. No one cares!”

Chen Hao’s face flushed red, but he didn’t express agreement with Chen Ye’s words.

However, it was clear this honest man also held some resentment towards the owner of the Apocalyptic Fortress.

Therefore, when Chu Che asked about information regarding the Apocalyptic Fortress, Chen Hao was practically an open book, holding nothing back.

Although he had a stutter and spoke somewhat slowly, he still thoroughly sold out the Apocalyptic Fortress.

According to Chen Hao, the owner of this Apocalyptic Fortress was a Fantasist Sequence 3 superhuman.

The ability of this Sequence could turn things imagined into real items.

Hearing it was actually such an ability, both Chen Ye and Chu Che gasped in shock.

This ability was simply too overpowered.

Even the Pink-haired Girl’s eyes sparkled with intense interest.

The Apocalyptic Fortress before them was an item imagined by this Sequence 3 Fantasist.

All of his abilities were used in realizing the Apocalyptic Fortress.

Therefore, to put it simply, this person had little combat capability.

Chen Ye understood.

This yet-unseen Fantasist Sequence superhuman had a serious imbalance in his development.

No wonder this Apocalyptic Fortress always gave people a strange feeling.

No wonder when he was beating up that Little Dezi earlier, this Apocalyptic Fortress had no reaction at all.

Probably, this Sequence 3 Fantasist hadn’t installed a weapon system on this Apocalyptic Fortress yet.

No wonder when he beat up that red-clothed eunuch, this Fantasist didn’t appear;
probably he felt he had no combat ability and was afraid he’d get beaten up too if he showed up.

However, what normal person would imagine themselves as an emperor?

Fantasist?

It seems liking to fantasize is also a side effect of being a Fantasist.

This Sequence was different from Chu Che’s.

A Pathfinder basically has little offensive ability and can only rely on gathering Wonders or other means for self-protection.

But this Fantasist had completely given up offensive ability, using all his abilities on the Apocalyptic Fortress.

It’s like in an online game, that player who puts all their skill points into defense.

According to Chen Hao, the reason this Apocalyptic Fortress could survive until now without a Pathfinder was because it had previously encountered a Rune Sequence superhuman.

This Rune Sequence superhuman covered this Apocalyptic Fortress with concealment runes, completely isolating the living human aura inside.

Moreover, the Apocalyptic Fortress could continuously provide energy to these concealment runes.

This was also why the Apocalyptic Fortress had been able to exist until now.

Just at that moment, they suddenly heard the Apocalyptic Fortress’s loudspeaker sound.

“Hmph, what do you country bumpkins know?”

“Those anomalies cannot be killed by ordinary means at all. Even Wonders with lower ranking numbers have very limited effect on them!”

“Our most important task at this stage is to survive. Only by surviving do we have a chance to counterattack!”

“When this emperor’s Sequence level increases, what Wonder won’t I have then?”

“That will be the time for this emperor to lead you in the counterattack.”

“And also, you insignificant Sequence 2, don’t try to poach my people. Otherwise, you won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Right then, everyone saw a man wearing a white suit, with a face full of dignity, appear before the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor of the Apocalyptic Fortress.

“Your Majesty, you’re finally awake. You must avenge this old servant…”
