Duan Ling Tian's expression changed slightly after he heard Du Wei's words. Nevertheless, it did not mean he was afraid of those super nuclear bombs that were hidden in every corner of the world. The super nuclear bombs might be capable of destroying earth, but it posed no danger to him.
"You're insane!" Duan Ling Tian's expression had changed earlier because he felt Du Wei was crazy. Du Wei actually tied his life to all lives on earth. He had known Du Wei was smart and ambitious, but he did not expect Du Wei to arrange for his people to detonate super nuclear bombs hidden all over the world, annihilating all living things on earth, if he died. Du Wei had planned this so he could further secure his position on earth.
Du Wei who had seen the slight change in Duan Ling Tian's expression thought Duan Ling Tian was afraid of the super nuclear bombs he had hidden around the world. He smirked. "Insane? Perhaps. However, I'm only doing it to protect myself. When those aliens from outer space brought advanced technology to earth, many people thought the aliens had done it without any ulterior motives. However, I disagree. They must be up to something. Why would they be so kind otherwise? Who knows if they're treating us like pigs? When they have fattened us up, they might return to slaughter us. Since the people I have arranged to detonate the bomb have been brainwashed since young, they won't even blink if I tell them to go to hell, let alone ordering them to detonate the super nuclear bombs."
Meanwhile, the expressions of the three bikini-clad beauties changed drastically when they heard Du Wei's words. They were thoroughly shocked when they heard Du Wei's plan. Even when they regained their senses, they were still frightened out of their wits.
"They're hidden all over the world, and once they're detonated, they would destroy earth?"
"No! No! I don't want to die!"
Du Wei continued to stare at Duan Ling Tian and said lightly, "It's truly shocking and unexpected that after you're resurrected, you're accompanied by a woman with such great strength. However, what's the use if your female companion is stronger than I am? Can you kill me? Unless you're willing to forfeit everyone's lives in exchange for mine, you can't kill me! Well, there's no need for you to trust my words, you can just kill me and see if I'm telling the truth." A hint of mockery could be heard in his voice as he spoke. Meanwhile, his expression was one of confidence, it was as though he was certain of his victory.
Duan Ling Tian's expression was indifferent, but his eyes were extremely cold when he said, "Based on your personality, I'm not surprised you have a trick like this up your sleeve. However, do you really think I'll die just because you can destroy earth?"
Du Wei scoffed. "Do you mean to tell me that you'll still be able to live once I destroy earth? Well, my people will only detonate the super nuclear bombs a month after my death so you have a month to look for a way out. It's unfortunate the aliens didn't leave us with their spaceship technology. Moreover, the existing spaceship technology on earth suddenly disappeared after the aliens' arrival on earth. What's even stranger is that all aeronautical scientists have either disappeared or gone crazy overnight!"
Duan Ling Tian furrowed his brows. If Du Wei's words were true, the aliens who had brought advanced technology to earth certainly seemed like they came with ill intention. It seemed like the aliens were trying to prevent people on earth from going to space. He asked in a low voice, "Didn't people feel suspicious?"
Du Wei replied lightly, "Of course, they did. At that time, someone questioned those aliens. However, they replied that it was for our good since our lives would be in danger if we travel to outer space. They said they would give us aeronautical technology when the time is right." He paused for a moment before he continued to say sarcastically, "The funny thing is that most people believed the bullshit those aliens spouted. Although there are also many who felt skeptical, what can they do against those mysterious aliens?" Based on his words, it could be seen that he was incredibly suspicious of those aliens with unknown origins.
"For these reasons, you hid super nuclear bombs all over the world? When the aliens return, you plan to use this to threaten them and negotiate with them?" Duan Ling Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. He was not that foolish to think Du Wei intended to save people on earth, Du Wei was only planning to save himself.
Du Wei replied righteously, "That's right! Since those aliens went to all the trouble to keep us here, they must be seeking something. If I can threaten them using earth, it won't be difficult for me to obtain benefits from them. Perhaps by the time the aliens return, I might have obtained genetic medicine to lengthen my life. At that time, I'll be able to leave earth and travel to other planets in the galaxy." When he spoke, his eyes were extremely bright. With his current position, he had enjoyed every luxury available on earth. His greed had increased, and he turned his sight to lengthening his lifespan and traveling to other planets to broaden his horizon.
"Well, I guess it's natural that this is the extent of your ambitions." Duan Ling Tian shook his head as he stared at Du Wei with a hint of pity. He thought Du Wei's ambition was akin to the ambition of a frog in a well. So what if Du Wei could lengthen his lifespan and travel to other planets in this galaxy?
Du Wei's expression changed drastically when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words. He had thought his ambitions were something that normal people on earth would not even dare to think of. However, it seemed like Duan Ling Tian was disdainful of his ambitions. "What did you say? W-what do you mean by this is the extent of my ambitions?"
Duan Ling Tian replied indifferently, "What do I mean? It's nothing really. I just think you're like a frog in a well."
"A frog in the well?" Du Wei was so furious that his face turned red as soon as he heard Duan Ling Tian's words.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian turned to look at Tang Xiao Xiao who was standing next to him and said, "Please wait for me here. I'll bring this frog in the well to see the other planets in the galaxy that he dreams of visiting. I'll show him the difference between me and him!" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand before disappearing from the luxury cruise ship with Du Wei who was still in shock.
The three bikini-clad beauties were dumbfounded when they saw Duan Ling Tian vanishing into thin air.
Meanwhile, the sound of wind whistled in the air as Duan Ling Tian brought Du Wei away from earth with just a wave of his hand.
When Du Wei regained his senses, he said mockingly, "Shameless boasting! You think you're strong enough to bring me..." However, it did not take long before he abruptly fell silent, and his face turned pale. At this moment, his legs were shaking. As he stared at an azure planet from a distance, he wondered if he was dreaming. He instinctively lowered his head and discovered he was floating in space without the help of any machine. How was this possible? He knew very well that the aliens had erased all technology that would allow them to travel to space. It did not take long before he calmed down. After all, he was the head of one of the strongest super soldier organizations, the Devil's Hand. Then, he thought to himself, 'It seems like an invisible force is supporting me..."
Duan Ling Tian's voice rang in Du Wei's ears suddenly, causing him to be momentarily frightened. He turned to look at Duan Ling Tian who was standing confidently next to him and looking at him condescendingly. At this moment, Duan Ling Tian looked at him as though he was truly a frog in the well.
"H-how's this possible? How can you travel here without relying on a flying machine? Even a super soldier who can manipulate wind is only able to stand in the air for a moment. Even then, they would only be able to rise 500 meters into the air at the most." Du Wei was completely dumbfounded. A hint of amazement could be seen in his eyes as well at this moment.
