I Have A Super USB Drive

  Only then did everyone react. They only saw that the ground in front of Chen Chen seemed to have been bombarded by cluster bombs. The invisible shockwave had even rushed into the sky, completely detonating the fighter planes hundreds of meters high!

  "It's not only my physical body, but my Field power has also been greatly enhanced. This power… Is it more than ten times stronger than my original form?"

  Chen Chen looked at the palm of his hand in surprise and then once again set his eyes on the group of trembling soldiers. His charcoal-fiery eyes just scanned them once and the remaining soldiers knelt to the ground without thinking, and shakily put down the weapons in their hands.

  "Surrender, we surrender!"

  Rows of soldiers knelt down one after another, their spirits having been disintegrated by Chen Chen's Earth-shattering power.

  "Capture them!"

  Seeing this, Chen Chen also stopped. He was not a bloodthirsty person. Since the opponent had stopped, he did not bother to continue slaughtering this group of troops who could not put up any resistance.

  Following Chen Chen's order, a dozen Black Knights immediately stepped forward and captured the hundreds of soldiers.

  As Chen Chen walked back to X-112, X-112 could not help asking with some worry, "Sir Commander, why did you transform yourself again? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

  "Uncomfortable?"

  Chen Chen cracked his neck and laughed in a low voice like a bellows. "I've never felt better."

  Seeing this, X-112 stopped asking. He turned to look at the Blacklight Building. "Chen Zeyu has led most of the Chen family to escape back into the Blacklight Building, but don't worry, our Black Knights are waking up so they can't run away. Now, what I'm worried about is the military camp a dozen kilometers away from Blacklight City. Currently, the first batch of reinforcements has been defeated, but at least 50,000 troops are on the way. Can your power defeat them?"

  "It's just fifty thousand troops from the Second World War. I can't be bothered with these people."

  Chen Chen stretched out a fist and squeezed it slightly. "But what about our memetic weapons? Does the other party have such power?"

  "Don't worry, Sir Commander."

  X-112 immediately replied, "X wouldn't possibly allow anyone other than you to own this deadly weapon. What's more, even if you give it to them, they will not have the conditions for research. Those memetic weapons have all been transferred to Mars and there's none of that left on the Earth."

  "Very well."

  Hearing this, Chen Chen nodded. He thought for a while. Suddenly, a cloud of mist hissed out over his body and then his body shrank again. In just the blink of an eye, Chen Chen's body had shrunk to the size of an ordinary person and he had recovered his previous appearance.

  "As I thought…"

  Chen Chen looked at himself and he found that he had not become skinny as he would have previously. There was just a slight sense of weakness. This inference immediately made Chen Chen's heart leap with joy.

  "It turns out that since the last injection, the G-virus has remained in my body. Now when it encounters the psionic activation of the Consciousness Stealer, such a huge reaction is produced…"

  At this point, Chen Chen understood almost everything.

  Consciousness Stealers could be reborn. In addition to infecting human consciousness and turning them into its nourishment, it had the ability to also fuse human bodies.

  This ability naturally came with the so-called psionic energy, which was a weird power that could alter the DNA code.

  Therefore, after Chen Chen's Field energy and psionic energy were merged, his Field energy also began to show psionic traits. This ability allowed him to re-optimize his DNA and turned him into the form that had been injected with G-virus.

  Those tentacles were the power of the Consciousness Stealer that Chen Chen had stripped away. This power allowed him to continuously absorb nutrients and replenish the nutrients in his body.

  Therefore, Chen Chen remained in his previous state even after he changed back into his own form, instead of being weakened for more than a month like when he was injected with G-virus.

  Even his Field had been greatly enhanced.

  Nonetheless, what surprised Chen Chen was that this state could be activated at any time. As long as he absorbed enough nutrients during the battle, he could quickly make up for it.

  The only flaw was that Chen Chen was becoming farther and farther away from being a human.

  "Find me a shirt first."

  Chen Chen said with an icy expression, "After half an hour, I want to see the Blacklight Building reopen, understand?"

  "Yes!"

  …

  Half an hour later, before the reinforcements of Blacklight City arrived, a new melee broke out in the Blacklight Building. This melee occurred extremely abruptly and even the group of prisoners were stunned.

  Nevertheless, this battle lasted only about ten minutes. The gate of the Blacklight Building that had been closed was now reopened. At the same time, teams of Black Knights rushed out and beside them, the beaten-down Chen family was detained.

  Among these people, Chen Lin and Chen Zeyu were all included.

  Looking at these dejected Chen family members, Chen Chen seemed to be looking at strangers. At the same time, some Chen family members were already spinning their brains, thinking of ways to win Chen Chen's favor.

  After all, seeing that Chen Chen did not even do anything to Chen Zhicheng and his two subordinates, all of whom had offended him, a seed of hope had sprouted in some of their hearts.

  It seemed that Blacklight City was about to undergo a major reshuffle…

  "Sir Commander!"

  The Black Knight stepped forward again and X-112 reported, "I've regained all the authority of Blacklight City including the authority of the army. All the troops have been ordered to retreat and return, and those high-level Chen family members who didn't obey the military order have also been arrested by their own adjutants. They can be sent to Blacklight City tomorrow."

  "Very good."

  Chen Chen nodded stoically. He walked slowly to Chen Zeyu and stared at this younger brother who was closest to his bloodline.

  Chen Zeyu slowly lowered his head, afraid to look at Chen Chen's eyes.

  "Where are Mom and Dad?"

  Suddenly, Chen Chen asked in a low voice, "Where did Mom and Dad go in the year of the Great Fusion?"

  "They died."

  Chen Zeyu shook his head, looking numb. "The Consciousness Stealer overturned the entire Eco Science City and our parents died almost at once."

  Hearing these words, Chen Chen could not help taking a deep breath.

  Although this was just another timeline where he existed, it did not mean that this was not the real world. This world was not any different from his reality, except for its history.

  At this time, hearing the news of the death of his parents in this world, Chen Chen's thoughts suddenly became a little complicated.

  Chen Chen could not tell what kind of feeling it was. It felt like gladness, rage, and remorse.

  Chen Chen was glad that in his original world, his parents were still alive and he had defeated the Consciousness Stealer, which meant that his parents could live a long, long time. With the development of Blacklight Biotechnology, his parents could live even longer.

  Thinking of this, Chen Chen took a deep breath. He looked at Chen Zeyu as if he was looking at a dead man. "Very well…"

  Chen Chen nodded, turned, and walked toward the Blacklight Building.

  The Black Knight immediately followed him. "Sir Commander, what should we do with this group of people? Also, after this fierce battle across the entire city, many people are already thinking of escape."

  "Escape? Where would they escape to?"

  Chen Chen asked.

  "It may be Survivor City in the North Sea Continent or it may be Fantasy Night City also in the North Sea Continent."

  X-112 replied, "These two
cities aren't far away from us."

  Hearing this, Chen Chen could not help but hesitate and then said, "I'm here to take advantage of the strength of the Joint Resistance Army, so I can't swoop in and take over just like that. In that case, for the sake of legitimacy and the maintenance of the city's order, you have to prepare a public trial assembly."

  "A public trial assembly?"

  X-112 tilted his head, seemingly puzzled.

  "That means, I'll judge them myself."

  Chen Chen gave a cold smirk. "Collect all the evidence of the crimes of this group of people and publicly expose all the crimes they have committed over the years. Don't tell me that this group of people hasn't committed any crime over more than 300 years?

  "Of course, that's impossible."

  X-112 shook his head immediately. "On the contrary, most of them have committed crimes, many, many crimes…"

  "Then, what are you waiting for?"

  Chen Chen replied and walked forward step by step, moving into the core of Blacklight City, the Blacklight Building, with the air of a victor.

  Chapter 560: Trial |

  The battle of Blacklight City shook up the entire Joint Resistance Army

  Early the next morning, when Chen Chen woke up from Blacklight Fully-automated Medical Platform, he immediately saw a familiar girl appear in front of him.

  This girl had breathtaking looks, with a hint of playfulness and a hint of obedience, and her hair was as smooth as silk. The moment he saw the girl, Chen Chen was in a daze.

  "X?"

  Then, Chen Chen frowned. The girl in front of him was naturally not X.

  "This is X-112, Sir Commander."

  The girl lowered her head. "This body was X's and it had been frozen like the Black Knights."

  Chen Chen nodded.

  "Oh right, Sir Commander."

  X-112 continued. "The venue for the public trial assembly has been prepared. In terms of the Joint Resistance Army, the other four forces contacted us early in the morning. They have received the news that Blacklight City has been seized. Those people want to call you and hope that you're taking the present situation seriously."

  "There's no need for calls. I'll naturally go to them in the future."

  Chen Chen asked coldly, "Anything else?"

  "Also, your cousin Chen Shan and your cousin Chen Zheng who have settled down in Survivor City have also returned and they want to see you too."

  "Chen Shan and Chen Zheng?"

  Chen Chen frowned, feeling a headache coming on. "So, are they also alive? They aren't involved in the politics of Blacklight City?"

  "No."

  X-112 shook her head. "Everything here was established by Chen Zeyu. In the beginning, they were expelled from the management core of Blacklight City. Chen Zheng also held a position in Blacklight City for a period of time but retired over two centuries ago. Most of those arrested today are descendants of Chen Zeyu and only very few are descendants of Chen Shan and Chen Zheng."

  "That's good."

  Chen Chen nodded. "They must want to meet with me to intercede for a descendant or another. Tell them that I'll punish those who should be punished, but I won't kill those who don't deserve to die, so they may rest assured."

  With that, Chen Chen waved X-112 away, went downstairs and got in the car, and headed toward the prepared venue for the public trial.

  On the other side, in the prison near Blacklight City…

  …

  "Uncle Chen Zheng, Aunt Chen Shan, I beg you, speak to Uncle Chen Chen on our behalf so that we'll be released! I'm your favorite, Xinghua, after all!"

  Near a cell, Chen Zheng and Chen Shan were standing in front of the door and inside the cell was a middle-aged man with a pale face and a panicked face.

  This middle-aged man was named Chen Xinghua and he was the youngest son of Chen Zeyu.

  "Fool!"

  There was a hint of anger in Chen Zheng's eyes. "Everything you have is inherited from Blacklight Biotechnology and Blacklight Biotechnology was built single handedly by Chen Chen. You still wanted to hog it all? The core intelligence of the city all belonged to him, it's just that he had not come back. Well, now that he has returned, how dare you?"

  "Uncle, I was wrong…"

  Chen Xinghua had tears of regret leaking from his eyes. "It's not that I wanted to go against Uncle Chen Chen, but the family committee forced us to do it! Aunt Chen Shan, say something!"

  "Sigh…"

  Chen Shan shook her head. She was now dressed like a young woman except that she exuded a noble and elegant aura. "We haven't seen Cousin Chen Chen for nearly four hundred years. I'm not sure if our words would still be effective.

  "You could still try!"

  Detecting the softening in Chen Shan's words, Chen Xinghua burst into tears of joy. He put his face against the transparent square until it was deformed. "Also, my father is the brother of Uncle Chen Chen. Surely he won't put us to death with no regard for that brotherly bond?"

  Chen Shan was even more silent upon hearing this.

  "Let me ask you something now and you must answer me honestly."

  Chen Zheng frowned and inquired, "After Chen Chen showed up, did you guys have any plans to kill him?"

  "No, absolutely not!"

  Chen Xinghua shook his head vigorously until his snot and tears were flung away. "I have absolutely no such thoughts!"

  "Then you might have hope!"

  Chen Zheng's eyes only lit up now. He would still try his best to preserve some of the Chen family's bloodline if he could.

  A sorry look flashed across Chen Shan's face too.

  In the past three hundred years, their heirs had bloomed everywhere and naturally, they had watched some of them grow up. Chen Xinghua was the one they loved best.

  When Chen Xinghua was young, he often visited the two of them. He was born smart and quick-witted. When he grew up, he was extremely filial and respectful to the two of them. The two grew even fonder of Chen Xinghua.

  Today, Chen Xinghua was less than three hundred years old. He was still a child. The two elders naturally could not bear the thought that Chen Xinghua might be executed.

  However, Chen Zheng and Chen Shan would not be unreasonable. They only intended to intercede for the younger generations of the Chen family. As for Chen Chen's younger brother, Chen Zeyu, neither of them intended to intercede for his sake.

  Besides the fact that Blacklight City daring to attack Chen Chen was thanks to Chen Zeyu's instruction. The most important factor was that Chen Zeyu was Chen Chen's younger brother after all. No matter how cruel Chen Chen was, he could not possibly kill his own younger brother, right?

  In both of their opinions, Chen Chen would, at most, place Chen Zeyu under house arrest or demote him directly and make him an ordinary person.

  Nevertheless, at this moment, the door of the prison suddenly opened and a group of Black Knights walked in with numb faces. They opened the doors of the cells one by one, brought out the Chen family members detained inside, and sent them to the prisoner car outside the prison.

  "Uncle, Aunt! Save me!"

  Chen Xinghua burst into tears and when the Black Knight led him away, he grabbed the edge of the gate with all his strength, displaying an imploring expression to the two of them.

  "Cousin…"

  Chen Shan could not help but grab Chen Zheng's sleeves with a disconsolate look.

  "Don't worry, as long as you haven't done anything to Chen Chen before, we'll keep you safe even if we have to grovel on our knees!"

  Chen Zheng resolutely said, "Come on, Cousin Chen Shan, let's look for Chen Chen now!"

  The two hurried to the Blacklight Building with hope, but when they arrived at the Blacklight Building, they were informed by X-112 that Chen Chen had left for the scene of the public trial.

  The public trial assembly was arranged by X-112 to be held in the stadium of Blacklight City.

  As they rushed to the stadium, they immediately saw the sound trucks on the street.
These vehicles were fitted with loudspeakers and blasting a mechanical message.

  "At 2 o'clock this afternoon, in the Blacklight Stadium, the new city lord will hold a public trial assembly. All the members of the Chen family are involved in the public trial. Citizens of the city are welcome to come and watch… At the same time, the Blacklight Channel will also broadcast the entire process. Stay tuned!"

  It was not only the sound trucks but also the sirens everywhere in the city that were broadcasting this. To stabilize the order of the public trial assembly, X-112 even ordered an army to be dispatched to patrol the city.

  Hearing that the trial turned out to be judging the lofty Chen family in Blacklight City, countless residents immediately rushed to the streets, gleefully racing in the direction of the stadium. All at once, the entire town had shown up.

  At this time, the roads near the stadium had been closed. If anyone wanted to enter, they could only go on foot. However, after an hour, the stadium that could accommodate over ten thousand people was already full. Thus, X-112 set up a holographic projection device outside the stadium, allowing those outside to see the scene inside the stadium directly on the big screen.

  When Chen Zheng and Chen Shan arrived, the road was blocked by the flow of people. They could only search for soldiers nearby, show their identities, and ask the army to deploy a helicopter to transport them to the venue.

  Still, when the two arrived, the time was already ten past two in the afternoon, and the trial assembly was commencing…

  At the scene of the assembly, Chen Chen walked to the podium step by step. He first glanced around the crowd, then, without any opening remarks nor ceremony, he just said, "Now, the public trial assembly shall begin!"

  At Chen Chen's order, more than a thousand men and women with pathetic expressions were led by the army to the rostrum of the stadium. Most of these people were tender-skinned and at first glance, they appeared pampered, in sharp contrast with the ordinary people in the city.

  Ordinary people were of course not qualified to use the Blacklight Fully-automated Medical Platform and because of the shortage of resources in these apocalyptic times, the residents in the city did not have access to the pre-fusion age-reversal treatments. Therefore, the life span of ordinary people was still only 70 or 80 years.
