Chapter 107 - 107: 107: Assassination Operation!
Chapter 107 - 107: 107: Assassination Operation!
Arctic Circle.
“Report, the number of spatial channels within our nation has increased…” “Spatial channels in the other half of the globe have massively reduced…” The command center was once again thrown into chaos.
All satellite images monitoring the other half of the globe showed dense swarms of bugs and dinosaurs. There were no survivors, no resistors.
Without dawn stones to buffer and block these bugs, the disaster occurred.
Within just two weeks of the disaster, the other half of the globe fell entirely.
Yao Zhenguo said, “Gone?”
Li Mingzhi added, “Not only are they gone, but aside from us, every other place is gone, too.”
Other places which didn’t have dawn stones didn’t stand a chance. After two weeks, they all failed to change their fate and fell to the insect horde.
Yao Zhenguo was left agape, finding it hard to believe. He hadn’t cared about these places for only a few days, and they’d been wiped out?
Were they so fragile?!?
Li Mingzhi sighed, helplessly saying, “No one expected it, thinking they could offer some resistance, but they really are gone. Aside from us, people from other places are almost all…”
Just then, a guard rushed in.
“Report to the leader, the other groups of apes from the Arctic Circle have all come this way…”
Yao Zhenguo quickly reacted, turning to ask Li Mingzhi, “How many were there in other regions of the Arctic Circle in the beginning? What kind of force did they bring with them?”
“There were about twenty or so forces that made it to the Arctic Circle, adding up to around one million people…”
“So few?” This time, Yao Zhenguo was surprised. He never liked interfering in others’ internal affairs, and didn’t pay much attention to what happens outside, but he didn’t expect so few people from other regions to come.
Li Mingzhi shook his head, saying, “Some areas seem powerful, but in reality, they are simply paper planes, fake models, shown up after the disaster. They actually don’t have that many aircraft for transportation…”
Yao Zhenguo knew that quite a few neighbors purposefully placed a barrage of plastic fake planes and tanks under their satellite surveillance to show off, he hadn’t anticipated there would be so many.
Li Mingzhi continued: “Also, um well, how should I put it? The over one million who came to the Arctic Circle, about eighty percent have frozen to death!”
“What?”
Yao Zhenguo blurted out, staring at him in shock.
This kind of speech was so casual, it sounded like nonsense, but the one speaking was Li Mingzhi, the Grand Supervisor of Hua Nation. He was not someone who blurted out words without thinking.
Yao Zhenguo cleared his understanding, rubbed his temples, and asked slowly,
“How did so many people, over a million, freeze to death?”
Li Mingzhi revealed a meaningful expression, explaining complexly, “The forces that arrived at the Arctic Circle, aside from us, were around one million people. An average of more than 50,000 per group. They were basically authority figures with just a few guards.”
“The funniest part is, they barely brought any supplies with them…”
Yao Zhenguo was stunned, retorting, “That’s impossible. These forces don’t have that few aircraft, theoretically, transporting about four to five million people should be enough…”
Li Mingzhi, dejected, said, “Until disaster strikes, you’ll never understand how much of a backstabber some apes in human clothing can be…”
“Those guys, they didn’t inform the public as soon as the disaster happened… Probably because they were afraid of the chaos causing them difficulties in escaping… Essentially, only the authority figures escaped to the Arctic Circle, and the most hilarious part is, most of the things they brought with them were gold and valuable jewelry…”
“The planes they flew to the Arctic Circle totalled more than two thousand, but most of these planes were loaded with gold, silver, jewelry, famous paintings, and fine wines…”
Yao Zhenguo frowned, “What were they thinking, bringing all these things to the Arctic Circle?”
Li Mingzhi smiled, “They fancied themselves clever, intending to use these things to exchange for food and labor from us…”
“At the beginning, indeed, a few of our soldiers and civilians were tempted by the gold and worked for them, making them some ice warehouses… But after a day or two, people began to calm down. After understanding the concept that everyone is equal in the face of disaster, no one was willing to work hard to earn useless things…”
“Moreover, if it weren’t for our humanitarian support, even more of them would have died…”
Listening to this reality, which couldn’t even be written into a novel, Yao Zhenguo fell silent.
After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, “If I weren’t the highest leader, I would have suspected whether this disaster was created by me, a plan to eliminate other primitive apes…”
Li Mingzhi laughed, “Old Yao, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Others from the Arctic Circle are currently operating on a conspiracy theory and collectively coming over, trying to demand justice from us… In their words, this disaster was created by us, referred to as the fucking disaster, and they want us to compensate them…”
Once more, Yao Zhenguo fell silent. After a few seconds, he said, “I might have been overestimating them all along… These people, who can’t even see the situation clearly, let’s not talk about the situation of each base – just looking at the Arctic Circle, we have a population of three million, whereas they, having combined the power of over twenty forces, don’t even sum up to two hundred thousand. How do they dare to behave like this when the strength of both sides is unbalanced?”
Li Mingzhi laughed, “Indeed, it’s very similar to the previous situation of being enemies with the world. They believe that we are slaves, subhumans, and dare not resist… They think we’re still kneeling!”
Just then, another guard came rushing in, reporting, “Commander, it’s bad, they’ve mobilized, they’ve begun attacking our troops and civilians, looting their possessions… quite a number of civilians have already died…”
Yao Zhenguo and Li Mingzhi exchanged a glance, slowly speaking: “I believe, it is preferable for there to be only one color in the Arctic Circle. Mingzhi, what do you think?”
Li Mingzhi chuckled, “Commander, my name is Li ‘Light-will’, need I say more… Give the order!”
Not long after the guard left, a group of royal advisers came running in flustered.
“Old Yao, there’s a major chaos outside!”
Yao Zhenguo chuckled, calmly saying, “Keep calm!”
The royal advisers suddenly took a gasp, understanding that this was Old Yao’s command.
One of the white-haired old men frowned, stating, “What you’re doing is slaughtering, exterminating, inhumane!”
Yao Zhenguo lightly replied, “I’m simply defending my people!”
He glanced meaningfully at the old man and chuckled, “It’s done then, let’s get rid of the traitors as well, it’s only you left, it’s useless keeping you…”
The old man was shocked but his face showed no expression, “Traitor? Who are you referring to?”
“I’m referring to you!”
Yao Zhenguo chuckled lightly, “Tang Zhong, among all the royal advisers, you always advocate for peace. When the enemy invades our land, you advocate for peace. When the enemy harms our people, you advocate for peace…”
The one called Tang Zhong immediately became incensed, “Nonsense! I was planning for the long term…”
Li Mingzhi joined in the laughter, “Tang Zhong, stop pretending. We’ve long collected evidence of you secretly contacting the enemy. We kept you for two reasons. On one hand, to stabilize them. On the other hand, to have you deliver false information…”
“You think we actually listened to your decisions regarding the enemy?” “You thought it was because of your age and seniority?
The ones truly planning for the long term were Yao Zhenguo and his people!
Not just Tang Zhong, but the other royal advisers also wore faces of surprise.
Obviously, even they didn’t know. This was a decision Yao Zhenguo and Li Mingzhi had made.
“Bring in someone, and take this number one traitor out for execution!”
“Wrongfully accused!”
In this way, the royal adviser was dragged out of the meeting hall.
“Execution?” Li Mingzhi asked with a puzzled look.
Yao Zhenguo laughed, “Tang Zhong is superstitious, he believes in ghosts and gods. In his belief, a corpse must be intact for reincarnation to occur.
Beheading represents eternal damnation…”
At this moment, Li Mingzhi thought of a term—killing one to warn the others!
However, he was fond of this idea!
Yao Zhenguo looked at the confused royal advisers below and calmly said, “I know some of you were quite close with Tang Zhong…” “But it’s all right, I believe you were all misguided…”
“From today onward, it’s unimportant, only us remain here…”
He chose to let these people go due to two reasons. First, they had not directly been in touch with the West, but merely believed in Tang Zhong’s long-term plans; hence, their crimes were not capital offenses. Second, they were smart and could still serve the nation.
The royal advisers below were all glancing at each other, unsure of how to respond in this situation. “Mingzhi, I feel relieved!”
“So do I!”
“I never thought it would be carried out in this way!”
“Enough said, I’m afraid the aliens might be listening, who knows if they’ve tapped into global surveillance…”
The hunt on the evening of July 21st went even smoother than the previous day, as there was no need for him to search for spatial channels, he could simply fly directly there.
Moreover, the spatial channels became even more concentrated. Where before there were only one or two channels every few hundred kilometers, now there were over a dozen in the same area.
Over the course of the night, he harvested a total of 66 Yellow Crystals, spending most of his time traveling.
Upon returning to the Nanyuan Base, instead of sleeping as usual, he sat cross-legged at home, pondering over the matter of Ming Yuwei in his mind.
From Ming Yuwei’s case, he was able to draw a conclusion: Evil gods had set their sights on him. First it was the Dark God, now it was the God of Light. With this, he also began contemplating what he had, and how he would respond if he ever encountered an evil god in the future.
He was a Ancient God, he had power, and it only took ten thousand Source Energies to increase his height by one meter. Every time he did so, his strength would increase.
After deep contemplation, Du Gang decided to hide some of his true strength for the time being.
Transforming didn’t have to mean maximizing his form. For instance, although he had reached the 145 -meter level, he could choose to transform into a 100-meter or 50-meter figure. As long as he didn’t exceed the 145 -meter level, he had free rein over his transformation.
“For now, I’ll reveal that I’m at the 145-meter level, pretend to be bottlenecked, then collect as much Red Crystal as possible to enhance my strength…”
He understood that he was destined to challenge the evil gods of different worlds in the future. When that time came, even if he had to bite, he would bite off a chunk of their flesh.
Once he had figured this out, he surrendered himself to deep sleep. On the afternoon of July 22nd, when he woke up, the envoys from the other bases had already arrived.
“War God, there were several times more spatial channels yesterday, don’t know if you…”
These envoys had brought a lot more Red Crystals, hoping to trade more.
Du Gang glanced at them, there were a few more people than before, a total of twenty envoys, indicating that twenty bases were willing to trade with him.
He nodded, “Three Yellow Crystals per base. Do you have enough Red Crystals?”
“Enough, enough-!”
All the envoys present were overjoyed by the response and quickly agreed.
Each of them brought around a hundred thousand Red Crystals, hoping Du Gang might have hunted more dinosaurs. To their delight, their expectations turned out to be correct.
Soon, he had exchanged with everyone. 60 Yellow Crystals were traded for 600,000 Red Crystals.
After they had left, Wang Dezhen also sent someone to deliver the overdue hundred thousand Red Crystals.
With this, Du Gang now possessed a total of 700,000 Red Crystals. “Du Gang, I was wondering if you might have a few extra Yellow Crystals on hand…”
Wang Dezhen did not leave after handing over the Red Crystals, instead he looked at him with a longing gaze.
Du Gang nodded and laughed, “Six Yellow Crystals, sixty thousand Red Crystals. When can you make the delivery?”
“One day!”
Wang Dezhen excitedly replied, “We’ve exchanged twelve Yellow Crystals in total, which increased our yellow grade superpowers by twelve. Their hunting speed has greatly increased. Adding that to the previous amount, it should be replenishable within a day…”
Du Gang simply tossed the six Yellow Crystals in his hand over and said,
“Alright, then. Prepaid this time. It should speed up your hunting troops…”
The 700,000 Red Crystals boosted Du Gang’s Source Energy by 1.5 million in total.
This meant that he could directly increase his 145-meter Battle Level figure to a 295-meter Battle Level!
However, he did not do so and kept the Source Energy.
He had already inquired Wang Dezhen about the information regarding the Hundred Thousand Meter Titan when no one was around yesterday.
Wang Dezhen did not hide anything and told him about his promotion and the disappearance of the energy inside the titan’s body.
So, he also recognized his relationship with the titan.
He was able to grow so quickly, so tall, so easily, precisely because the Hundred Thousand Meter Titan had been providing him with energy.
The Source Energy was only required to establish a special transmission channel!
Obviously, once he had exhausted all of the titan’s energy and reached the Hundred Thousand Meter Level, leveling up would become much more difficult. How to deal with that when the time came, he didn’t know, but that was a worry for the future. He didn’t want to waste time thinking about it now.
Although he’s only at the third rank now, he’s not just an average superpowered individual at a Yellow Grade, his strength is even greater!
As to how much stronger, he doesn’t know because Earth has never seen a monster above the Green Level.
“I expect to harvest around 1.5 million Source Energy per day…”
Du Gang secretly rejoiced, the stronger his power, the better chance he would have of resisting the evil god in the future.
“However, I can’t just stop improving my strength.. ‘
He thought meticulously; leaving his strength stagnant would be like burying his head in the sand, making it easy for others to discover.
Therefore, he felt it was better to make a little progress.
In the end, he decided to retreive a tenth of the daily Source Energy, use a fraction of it to increase his strength, and leave the remainder untouched.
He worried that the evil god would monitor the energy in the giants under the ground, so he chose this more cautious method to hide his strength.
After planning his future path, Du Gang didn’t slack off during the day, but instead went to the Divine Mystery Camp to practice his fist technique.
July 27.
“Du Gang, do it again, I want to see!”
Wang Hu looked at Du Gang in shock, unable to believe that the fist technique that took him half a year to master, was easily executed by Du Gang. Moreover, judging by his proficiency, he seems to have practiced until it became instinctive!
Seeing this, Du Gang quickly executed all the fist techniques in order, this time, he didn’t start from the beginning in a systematic way but randomly, without following the sequence.
When the dumbfounded Wang Hu saw Du Gang perfectly executing an entire set of punches purely on instinct, he was completely stunned.
He stood in a daze for nearly ten seconds before he came back to his senses.
“Sigh!”
He sighed and said: “Times have changed, maybe it’s easier to master these techniques now!”
He still couldn’t bring himself to believe that Du Gang’s talent was so extraordinary—accomplishing in five or six days, with just three to four hours of practice each day, what took him countless days and nights over half a year to achieve.
After adjusting his mentality, Wang Hu began: “Having mastered the methods of Force Generation and Basic Steps, I’ll now explain to you what Strength Paths are!”
“Strength Paths are divided into Obvious Strength, Hidden Strength, and Transforming Strength. Many martial artists and Taoist practitioners in our country speak of these three forms of Strength Paths, some with the same meaning and some different…”
“I do not understand those forms of Strength Paths related to yin and yang or Heaven and Earth, and those who did may have died in this disaster…”
“The Strength Path I’m referring to is one that could be genuinely trained and felt by the body!”
“Obvious Strength, in my understanding, is upfront and forthright force!” “For instance, when you throw a punch, the force you use is Obvious Strength!”
“Hidden Strength, however, refers to the concealed power, like this.”
Suddenly, Wang Hu placed his hand on Du Gang’s shoulder and said, “Pay close attention, feel it for yourself!”
Upon hearing this, Du Gang immediately fixed his gaze on him.
“Here I go!”
Immediately, a surge of force was released from his hand and rushed towards Du Gang’s shoulder.
Du Gang was surprised to find that Wang Hu hadn’t moved at all, not even the hand that was on his shoulder, but he could clearly feel a force propelling his shoulder.
“How did you do that?”
Wang Hu released his hand and laughed: “This is called Hidden Strength. I used to think it was just a hoax before I mastered it, but in the end… I actually did it.”
“Hidden Strength does not require physical movement, but the force internally surges, like what I did, you can mobilize your body’s strength without moving…”
“The biggest use of this thing is to take advantage of an enemy’s unpreparedness. For instance, you punch with Obvious Strength, and the moment your opponent gets hit, you strike again with Hidden Strength…” “Ahem, at present, I mainly use this technique to fool people…’
Du Gang nodded and said, “What about the last one, Transforming Strength?”
Wang Hu laughed: “As for Transforming Strength, I don’t understand it, I’ve never trained it, I don’t know what it’s like… If that famous Master Ma were still here, he might be able to…’
After a while, Du Gang saw he was no longer talking and asked with confusion, “That’s it?” Wang Hu nodded and said, “That’s it!” “Huh?”
Du Gang was stunned, that was all?
Wang Hu laughed and said, “All these things, they’re basically the foundation, practice more and you will always learn…”
“Do you think I only teach this as an instructor?”
“In fact, when we were in training, we mostly focused on enhancing physical fitness, the actual technical stuff, we didn’t practice much…”
Du Gang nodded in understanding. Indeed, in the military, improving physical fitness has the highest cost-effectiveness. Besides, one also needs to master a variety of modern weapons, it is impossible to spend time on boxing techniques, this isn’t the ancient past where soldiers could engage in hand-to-hand combat.
“Alright, I have nothing else to teach you, you can rely on your own comprehension for the rest!”
“Thank you, Instructor Wang!”
Du Gang gave him thanks. He doesn’t know if hidden strength is useful or not, but having learnt all those boxing techniques, it has some use for him. At least he now understands the basic principles of fighting and he’s also learned quite a few methods of applying force.
While this was happening, a soldier came looking for him. “God of War sir, the commander has summoned you!”
“Lead the way!”
Upon arriving at the command center, the place was even more bustling. Apart from people from Nanyuan, there were over thirty envoys from other bases present.
Seeing him enter, the originally bustling and noisy command center immediately quieted down, all the newly arrived envoys curiously looking at Du Gang.
Wang Dezhen laughed and said, “Du Gang, you’re here, these are the representatives who are preparing to launch an attack on South Harbour City with us…”
“They’re finally here!”
Lately, Du Gang spent his nights hunting dinosaurs and days practicing boxing, he was growing impatient with waiting.
“We’ve finished negotiating, gather 20 kilometers outside of South Harbour City tonight at 19:00…”
“Only Yellow Grade and Orange Level superpowered individuals will be dispatched to carry out the assassination mission…”
“At that time, other superpowered individuals will be in charge of dealing with the patrolling guards and superpowered individuals within South Harbour City…”
“Du Gang, it’s handed over to you to deal with Ming Yuwei, okay?”
The stratecy is very simple. every local base dispatches their own forces. at the latest by 19:00, they will gather at a location 20 kilometers away from South Harbour City, and on foot approach South Harbour City before it gets dark at 20:00.
Then, under cover of darkness infiltrate the city, other superpowered individuals are responsible for dealing with regular superpowered individuals, Du Gang is responsible for Ming Yuwei.
Those bases that are further away have already set off. The reason these people have come here is not only to convey this information but they also want to exchange yellow crystals with Du Gang.
The representatives from the bases that came earlier all received yellow crystals, leading other bases that only had Orange Level peak superpowered individuals to panic and send representatives. Unfortunately, their information came a bit late, it had already been four or five days.
These thirty or so people were all here in Nanyuan for the first time, their main objective being to establish cooperation with Du Gang.
Du Gang understood their intentions well.
Every additional collaborator meant another source of red crystals. This meant he could safely go and hunt dinosaurs without worrying about not being able to sell them off.
Wang Dezhen had no objections, the yellow crystals Du Gang brought back from his hunts were too many that Nanyuan alone could not consume all of them. Dividing them to other bases was also helping humanity.
Besides, the amount of yellow crystals Du Gang gave Nanyuan was the most, he was already being very generous.
Seeing that they all reached a consensus and established a cooperative relationship, Wang Dezhen said, “Du Gang, many other bases have already sent people off, and it’s almost time for you to go…”
“Okay!”
Soon, Du Gang arrived at the airport on top of the mountain, at this moment, all representatives of Nanyuan were also there.
Apart from Diamond King, there were also two Yellow Grade warriors, of which he recognized one, it was Shadow King from before, his superpower was quite useful for reconnaissance!
Another superpowered individual was quite strange, as he carried two particularly long sniper rifles on his back.
“My name is One Shot Wang, my awakened superpowers are Eagle Eye and Ballistic Control, I can also enchant my bullets to increase their damaging power…”
One Shot Wang, who thought of such a lame nickname!
Du Gang inwardly sneered and said, “Hello, I’m Du Gang!”
The Gun King laughed and said, “When the time comes, I will provide you with air support. My bullets can reach ten thousand meters away. Except for Yellow Grade enemies, any enemies below Orange Level can be killed with one shot!”
Such a big talk!
The four of them quickly got on the plane.
Though they were few in numbers, they were not weak in strength. Apart from
Du Gang, the other three were all Yellow Grade superpowered individuals.
Some of the other bases did not even have a Yellow Grade.
It could be said that, for this joint operation, Nanyuan Base had dispatched the most powerful forces.
On the evening of July 27, 19:00.
Du Gang and others arrived at the predetermined meeting place on schedule. The fighters from other bases were already in position. Roughly counting, there were five to six hundred people, and the weakest were peak Orange Level.
“You only sent four people?”
One of the superpowered individuals from another base looked at Du Gang and his team coming off the plane and frowned as he spoke.
After the apocalypse, Nanyuan Base can be said to be the most famous among all the survivor bases, because the War God was there!
In such a situation, some people are always unhappy.
No one stood out, all of them kept silent, wanting to see how the people from Nanyuan Base would respond.
The King Kong King’s expression turned cold, and said calmly: “King Kong
King, one of the Eight Kings of Nanyuan, Yellow Grade Fourth Rank!” “Shadow King, one of the Eight Kings of Nanyuan, Yellow Grade Fourth Rank!” “Gun King, one of the Eight Kings of Nanyuan, Yellow Grade Fourth Rank!”
The three Yellow Grade Fourth Rank powerhouses instantly shocked everyone.
It should be noted that only a minority of the bases on the scene, who had traded with Du Gang, had Yellow Grade fighters. Most people were just at the peak of the Orange Grade.
Du Gang glanced at the man who was challenging them in front of him, and said with a smile, “The Yellow Crystal you used for your promotion should have been traded from your base by me…”
The man’s face immediately froze. Before he could say anything, Du Gang said lightly, “Du Gang, also known as the War God. If I make a move, none of you here will survive.”
His tone was calm, but the words he said were extremely domineering.
A wave of kingly aura spread out with it.
Everyone present fell silent.
Some recognized Du Gang’s strength, while others hadn’t seen him in person and only heard rumors about him, so they didn’t believe in his capabilities.
But at this moment, these people all fell silent.
Who dares to say in front of the most outstanding and strongest group of people in the country that he alone can defeat them all?
At least, the man who was challenging Du Gang didn’t dare!
He stepped aside, and said, “War God, you’re boasting highly of yourself. We are here with a mission. Let’s put any match aside for now. However, I hope you can play your role in the upcoming battle and let me see if you really are that capable.”
He was quite polite. He usually looked down on others. If it weren’t for Du Gang’s fame, he would really like to experience it firsthand.
“Alright, everyone, I don’t want to argue with you anymore. You’ll see my strength in due time. For now, let’s focus on the mission. Let’s get moving!”
As Du Gang stepped down, no one else dared to challenge him openly. They all nodded and started to move.
In total, over forty bases joined together, and over five hundred superpowered individuals at this moment all started running in silence.
Inside South Harbour City.
Ming Yuwei felt uneasy since noon. Her eyelids twitched fiercely, and she felt a vague sense of impending disaster.
“What’s wrong? Will the beetles break the defense line?”
Thinking of this, she quickly ordered her subordinate to prepare another set of offerings for the divine consultation.
Getting into the secret room, after a series of devout prayers, the black fog representing the God of Light appeared again.
“Thank you for the coming of the God of light…”
“My God, I have a premonition of some kind of danger…”
Inside the moon, Nalan Hongwen curled his lips, ” I am not a fortune teller! How should I know?!!”
Of course, he didn’t say that, but he pacified, “My servant, I shall protect you…
The ritual ended, yet Nalan Hongwen furrowed his brow.
Powerful people who were at the Rainbow Blue level or Purple level could feel certain dangers beforehand.
But how could Ming Yuwei, who was only at the Rainbow Yellow level, sense anything?
“That’s wrong. If she was panicked enough to seek my help, the help of a God, this means the premonition must be strong, she must truly be in danger!”
Nalan Hongwen quickly surmised that Ming Yuwei might be in danger, but when he wanted to do something, he realized he couldn’t do anything!
He couldn’t monitor Earth!
He couldn’t learn about the situation outside!
“Life Detection!”
He suddenly recalled the low-quality detection equipment built into the incubator and quickly activated it.
“Oh, damn!”
After intensive study, he finally deciphered that there was a large cluster of life forms outside South Harbour City, rapidly moving towards it.
“Holy crap, is someone trying to take Ming Yuwei down?”
Nalan Hongwen was befuddled, he didn’t understand why so many people were after this woman who seemed harmless.
‘What should I do?”
In an instant, he considered countless possibilities.
Abandon Ming Yuwei? This idea was immediately dismissed the moment it appeared. This woman was a part of his plan to seize power, he couldn’t give her up.
Take a spaceship there?
NO!
He shook his head. Planets that host living beings like this original planet, the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association would typically leave corresponding sensors.
Once his alien spaceship enters, people from the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association will definitely find out!
“Damn it, it would be so much easier if it was a decade or two in the future!”
The solar system was only ten light-years away from falling into the Realm of Silence. At its current speed of 230 kilometers per second, it would only take a decade or two to enter. Who would then care about the life or death of the original planet’s inhabitants?
The main reason he dared to plot against Earth under the nose of the Cosmic Civilization Protection Association was that the solar system was located in this piece of wasteland.
“Should I take the risk and go there?”
He shook his head again, he couldn’t take the risk.
Staying on the moon and planning slowly, he might have five years. But if he directly flies over in a spaceship, he might be dead the next second.
You should know that the spaceships owned by the Cosmic Civilization Association were much more advanced than his.
After racking his brain, he finally ended up dialing his mother’s number. Soon, the beautiful young woman from before appeared again.
“Can you get me another Possession Transponder?”
Nalan Yanran frowned, “What do you mean, you used up the one I gave you before?”
Nalan Hongwen replied bitterly, “Not yet, but soon!” He quickly explained the situation Ming Yuwei was facing.
“Can’t you just find another woman…”
“No, this woman fulfills the requirements for the possession plan… it will be hard to find another one as perfectly suited as her…”
Nalan Yanran fell silent.
She was not supportive of this possession plan.
Surely, this kind of information from an unknown advanced civilization would carry other intents, and one might not end up in a good state once involved.
But she had no choice since Nalan Hongwen was her son, and there was no other way!
Nalan Yanran pondered for a moment before speaking slowly: “I understand, I’ll find a way to get it for you… I hope you can be faster, I have already mobilized a huge amount of funds from two planets, if this operation is exposed, not only you will die, but I’ll also face severe punishment…”
If Nalan Hongwen could successfully advance to Meteorite Level before his death, then her secret misappropriation of the family’s vast funds from two planets wouldn’t be a problem.
Meteorite Level, in the endless starry sky, was insignificant, just the first step into the cosmic world.
But in this barren star field, Meteorite Level was a symbol of power, and each one was a being capable of dominating a planet!
Du Gang and others were swiftly moving through the dense forest. Every individual in the group was at least at the peak of the Orange Level, all were battle-ready superpowered individuals.
They chose to ignore the numerous Black Beetles beneath their feet, swiftly passing over them.
Only occasionally did they slightly dodge the projectile attacks of the appearing Golden Beetles.
Soon, before nightfall, they successfully arrived at the outskirts of South Harbour City.
Shadow King stepped forward and said softly, “Those with stealth abilities, come with me, take out the patrolling guards, others wait… the sound of a cuckoo bird is the signal…”
He quickly led a few dozen superpowered individuals capable of hiding themselves, quietly entering South Harbour City.
The guards here were not many, and they were more like surveillance agents, tasked with monitoring the movements of the beetles.
The people here never expected an invasion by their own kind. Even though they had done many inhuman, inhumane things, they never thought they would be attacked.
In their eyes, at the end of the world, everyone was too busy trying to survive. No one could cross such a distance to attack a powerful base of power.
“Thump, thump, thump!”
A series of throat-slicing sounds echoed, and all the guards on the outskirts of South Harbour City were successfully taken down.
Shadow King looked at a similar to a scorched sausage-shaped object in one of the guard rooms and couldn’t help but frown.
“Cuckoo, cuckoo!”
Without wasting any time, he quickly informed the superpowered individuals outside.
Soon, the superpowered individuals hiding in the forest also arrived. “That palace ahead is where Ming Yuwei lives. God of War will handle that, the rest of us will take down all the stubborn elements within the city…” Soon, everyone divided into several groups and left in different directions.
Only Du Gang was left, moving alone towards the palace.
It was almost night, and there was hardly anyone on the streets of the city. Most residents were at home.
Even without turning into a giant, Du Gang was still very strong. He quickly climbed to the roof of the palace in just a few seconds.
He lifted a tile and looked inside. There was a golden throne adorned in gold decorations. but the palace was empty.
He glanced around, quickly spotting a palace in the distance that was still lit.
“Tap!”
Du Gang gently jumped back to the ground and quietly approached the lit palace in the distance.
Upon arrival, he extended his index finger and gently poked a hole in the paper window, squinting one eye and bringing the other up close.
At this moment, he terribly missed the days when Chu Zixuan was by his side. If he still had mental power for detection, he wouldn’t need to sneak around to find things out.
“Who’s there?”
Before Du Gang could see the situation inside clearly, a stern voice rang out..
