Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1048 - 520_2

"This is the first official task we’re executing for the society, we absolutely cannot mess it up."

"If we slip up due to negligence, how could we possibly face Big Hammer and the others in the society?"

"Got it, Brother Xiaoshuai, you can be one hundred percent assured!"

Xu Hao waved his hand impatiently, but his body honestly sat upright.

"With all these electronic gadgets watching, plus our pairs of eyes, even if a fly gets in, I’ll make sure to distinguish its gender."

Despite saying this, he reluctantly moved the camera away from the blazing distant building, scanning the dark surroundings warily.

Instantly, he became alert and energetic, and it seemed as though his face was written with "diligent and responsible" in big letters.

In his heart, this wasn’t just a simple sentry task.

This was about maintaining his dignity as a senior member of the Illuminati.

In terms of hierarchy, he was only slightly lower than Miss Lin and Crow.

After all, one was beautiful enough to ruin nations and clearly the president’s forbidden fruit and wife.

The other didn’t even need explanation, being the president’s uncle, that’s royalty—no way to cross him.

As for that eccentric Professor?

At most, he’s on par with me in rank.

After all, he’s older, a cultured person, the president values him highly, so I give him some face.

As for those newcomers Monkey, Big Hammer, Bai Ling?

Heh, they have to call me "senior" according to the rules!

Now that the organization is in its infancy, a time when we need manpower, I must seize the opportunity to accrue achievements.

When the Illuminati grows and becomes a behemoth controlling the world, with my seniority and glorified achievements, becoming a minister would be an easy task, wouldn’t it?

By then, I could be like those big shots in the movies.

Leaving with a luxury car escort, followed by a group of men in black suits, holding red wine, embracing... hehehe.

"Boom——"

A booming explosion from the distant building rudely interrupted Xu Hao’s beautiful fantasies about the future.

The flames soaring into the sky instantly illuminated half the night sky, startling him into hunching his neck, with the muscles on his arms instinctively tensed.

This explosion was noticeably more terrifying than the last one.

The dull tremor even traveled along the ground, reaching the car nearly a kilometer away, making the windows hum.

"Oh my goodness..."

Peering through the binoculars, Xu Hao gazed at the apocalyptic destruction, his Adam’s apple rolled with difficulty.

Once the excitement of watching the show passed, an uncontrollable worry gradually rose in his heart:

"What’s going on, is the president alright?"

"That noise is terrifying, this isn’t a fight, it’s like rockets are being used for ground clearing!"

"Even the night at Noah Building didn’t have this grand of a scale."

Xiao Shuai’s gaze had long moved from the surveillance screen, staring through the car window at the distant building teetering in the night.

He didn’t answer immediately, but took a deep breath as if calming the turmoil within.

Moments later, he spoke, his voice light but with a certainty that seemed almost reverent:

"Haozi, have you forgotten?"

"Three days ago, after we passed the test, when the president led us out of that mental institution... what did we see?"

Xu Hao froze, and the images in his mind instantly solidified.

The impact of that moment could never be forgotten.

When the decayed door was pushed open, the darkness and blood that enveloped the world receded like the tide.

In its place was golden sunlight illuminating the land.

Majestic mountains stretching endlessly, rivers ceaselessly flowing.

And in the distance, a magnificent palace floating above the clouds, radiating golden beams.

That world was grand in its mountains and lush in its greenery, so real that it made one want to kneel down in worship.

It wasn’t an illusion, it wasn’t a dream.

But a Soul Divine Kingdom created in a single thought by the president.

Xiao Shuai’s eyes intensely observed the building devoured by flames, speaking in a deep voice:

"No matter where or when, the president is undefeatable."

His words were concise yet powerful, as if declaring a truth.

This was an unreserved fanatical worship, an absolute faith witnessed after witnessing miracles.

Upon hearing this, Xu Hao seemed infected by his conviction, the worry in his eyes vanished instantly.

Exactly, a monster like the president, how could he lose?

Does anything more monstrous than this man exist in the world?

"Damn, exactly! Why the hell am I worrying!"

Xu Hao grinned, lifted the binoculars back up, continuing to gaze at the battlefield with unusually bright eyes.

At this moment, his gaze seemed able to penetrate the thick darkness and smoke.

He saw the figure akin to a god or demon, standing tall amidst the ruins, overlooking all living things.

.........

Rumble rumble——

With the loss of support columns, multiple floors collapsed sequentially in a chain reaction.

Like dominoes being toppled, they descended layer upon layer with an earth-shattering momentum.

The sky filled with dust mixed with giant chunks of concrete, plummeting alongside Fang Cheng and Ghost Scythe into the Abyss.

Gravity at that moment seemed to become the most ferocious beast, tearing everything apart.

Broken steel bars twisted like tentacles, wildly swinging in the wind with a teeth-gritting creak.

All around were falling rocks and howling winds, with no support point to leverage off.
