Chapter 106 The Imminent Decisive Battle
Chapter 106 The Imminent Decisive Battle
```
Captain Luo regretted not coming forward to show the Immortal Sect's flag and confront Meng Yu head-on when the Death Squad first teleported in.
At that moment, he thought of many things but forgot one, sometimes, when you ignore others, don't blame them for ignoring you!
Now, those left at the base have lost their fighting spirit.
They were just employees, willing to fight to the death if the Outer Domain invaded, but now… The Death Squad had been around for three days without contacting anyone, and those who had taken the initiative to cooperate with the Death Squad, the truly loyal or the foolish, had all disappeared at the hands of Meng Yu in these three days.
So, who could still muster the enthusiasm?
Meng Yu didn't kill them in front of everyone; he took them away, and then they were never seen again.
Someone on the planetary network explained to everyone, "Look at your contracts. They clearly state what qualifies as a work injury, when the insurance company pays out, and when you don't get a dime!"
The disappeared would have to battle it out with the company in court, and maybe, after ten or eight years, they might win probable compensation, but more likely, they would get nothing.
Standing up to protect the company owners' assets now, if you die in battle, it's not a work injury, you get no company compensation, and on the contrary, if you damage the company's property during the fight, you could be liable for tens of millions, even billions. Don't believe it? There are real examples online. Come on, there are so many, take a look.
Meng Yu came for personal revenge, but after taking control, he halted production in the factories, with managers notifying workers about the holiday in advance, etc. If you then voluntarily step forward to help and die in battle, Star Industrial saves a sum of money, cursing you as idiots. That's not a work-related injury that happened during working hours; the insurance you bought doesn't cover this. Who asked you to stay in the factory after the holiday?
Furthermore, now you can stay inside the warm base with food and vegetables, with everyday life unaffected. Have you thought about this? That's my mercy. But I strongly warn you, if any of you join the Death Squad, we will be enemies. Do you really want me to go all out, destroying the energy center, protective formations, etc., and make everyone struggle in the snow and wind?
Right, right, forget about expecting Star Industrial's post-event heavy rewards and promotions. With Meng Yu's destructive power, if this small planet base is gone, it will surely go bankrupt and restructure. After downsizing and increasing efficiency, they will only fire you. And he will destroy Star Industrial's mining and industrial enterprises one planet after another, causing Star Industrial to go bankrupt. What are you working so hard for at this moment? What for?
Oh, and by the way, as Meng Yu said, we are all but miserable employees; there's no need for a life and death struggle. Take this chance and provide me with some intelligence. Isn't the Ash Immortal Silver in the warehouse tempting?
Yes, Meng Yu stated he was just here for revenge, not to take a single thread or needle from his fellow countrymen. Once he leaves, everyone can treat it like a holiday, help yourselves.
This helping yourselves is no joke; how much can Meng Yu carry from such a large warehouse?
And then, Captain Luo was stumped.
He came to Qingye Small World, only to meet with indifference. He presented Immortal Sect's regulations, and they countered him with legislation.
He issued urgent orders, and they talked back about insurance.
He said we must pull together, and everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
He did recruit some Qi Refinement Practitioners, but these people... he even felt it might have been better not to recruit them at all.
Those people, how they looked as if they were going to betray them, and surely they would betray them?
…
Days passed by one after another.
The forty-fourth day.
In that time, many battles occurred. Meng Yu, like an undying specter, Captain Luo's team suffered the deaths of a hundred and three members, but finally, they managed to corner Meng Yu into a certain area.
The decisive battle was imminent.
```
Meng Yu should be covered in wounds, True Qi exhausted... right?
The dark factory had no more lights, much like Captain Luo's heart now, pitch-black.
"Captain, see you in the next life."
Not far away, several people bowed respectfully to Captain Luo. They were from customs, tax, insurance, and the navy; the six of them were the eyes of the Reaper Squad and didn't need to participate in the encirclement operation.
He came here only to witness the final battle.
How Captain Luo would die.
"I can fight a thousand."
In the beginning, it was considered a joke; in the middle, it seemed a bit interesting, but now, everyone was horrified because Meng Yu might not have been joking!

The four hundred and fifty members of the Death Squad were all elites. Such a force could easily defeat the thousand people that the Immortal Sect had sent into Changdong Minor World in the past, overpowering the full resistance of many small planets, including traps set by Golden Core Experts in First Grade worlds.
All sorts of coordination, organization, movements that were orderly; analysis, traps, attacks, encirclement – they were like a vast net, enveloping Meng Yu.
Because the standard for establishing the Reaper Squad was to deal with shameless Golden Core Cultivators plus a gang of robust thieves!
There were always some shameless Golden Core Cultivators who would suppress their cultivation and then come to a Minor World to plunder. These bullies who would punch kindergartens and kick nursing homes would sometimes act and even call upon a few Golden Core companions, suppressing their cultivation to the Qi Cultivation Stage before taking action.
They were improving, and so was the Immortal Sect. The combat power equipped by the Death Squad had to be sufficient to face Golden Core Cultivators who had suppressed their cultivation to the Qi Refinement Realm, to deal with those who possessed Sword Intent, Divine Sense, and had mastered various Taoist Arts, with a cultivation polished over hundreds of years; they could still counter and even kill!
The most outstanding research team of the Immortal Sect, with thousands of years of accumulation, had concocted the Death Squad, a team built on science. They possessed various combat techniques and operational methods. However, what did everyone see in the Qingye Small World?
Meng Yu was still alive and kicking to this point, and even more so, the factory might very well be the battleground he himself had chosen!
"Yes, see you in the next life!"
With a bitter smile, Captain Luo looked at them all.
Since the pursuit of Meng Yu began, the Death Squad had always held the advantage, suppressing Meng Yu in battle. Perhaps some would say this is what you call "a one-man army"?
Yes, this is a one-man army!
The sharpest knife never directly hits bone, and the most fearsome enemy never gives you a chance to surround him a thousand to one.
Many argue that it is impossible for a person to break a wooden stake with their bare hands, but why should a person break a wooden stake in the first place?
A one-man army is never about directly confronting a thousand; it's about using the brain, schemes, means, and all kinds of methods to withstand a thousand!
No matter if you're at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage, as long as you're alive, you are a one-man army!
Everyone now believes that Meng Yu could fight a thousand, because this despicable, shameless scoundrel was a true warrior!
Many had a moment of enlightenment; the battle in the factory was a gift that Meng Yu had specifically left for everyone.
The final battle was about to begin!
