Qing Chen: "..."
At that moment, the Faceless Men turned around and silently watched this scene.
A faceless man chewed gum, his facial scars twitching with each chew: "Was that Young Master Qingyi's teacher? Why does the whole world want to kill him?"
“We don’t understand the affairs of important people, we just need to do our job well,” the Faceless Captain said. “Do you have any more chewing gum? Give me one.”
Someone threw a piece of chewing gum to the captain from behind the hillside, then peeked out and casually shot and killed a squad of reconnaissance soldiers who were infiltrating.
His marksmanship was so accurate that, within a 200-meter range, even if he was not as good as Qing Chen, he wouldn't be much worse.
The next moment, the faceless man holding the handheld computer said, "The Shenyou Class A airship is here. It should be going to hunt down Qing Chen."
The Faceless Captain said expressionlessly, "Lock it down, take it down. Now it's time for the other one to pledge his loyalty."
A faceless man next to him began operating the machine inside the black box. He first searched for the target parameters of the Shenyou on the machine, and then pressed the switch.
The instant the button was pressed, more than 3,000 kilometers away, at a military base of the Qing family, a vehicle carrying a missile over six meters long roared into action.
The launch pad stood upright, and a huge burst of fire erupted from the missile's tail as it soared into the sky. Powered by high-performance fuel, the missile reached a terrifying first cosmic velocity of 7.9 kilometers per second in just over ten minutes.
The missile first enters a celestial orbit, and then, just before reaching the battlefield, it finally falls precisely under the control of a multi-pulse engine.
Like a long halberd descending from the sky!
At this time, the Shenyou had already detected the missile using an anti-missile system.
The captain frowned as he looked at the missile rapidly approaching him on the radar: "What type of missile is this? How can it be so fast?"
The radar operator stammered, "Captain, this is a cruise missile! It's just slowed down from cosmic velocity; a minute ago it was going even faster..."
"What the hell?!" the captain exclaimed in shock!
This thing is used to attack air fortresses and important military bases; each one costs hundreds of millions to manufacture.
The multi-pulse engine on the missile alone is worth over 100 million. This multi-pulse engine can adjust the target lock at any time, so no matter how the Class A airship changes direction, it cannot evade it.
The speed of the airship is far inferior to that of this missile...
Compared to this federal cruise missile, the relative speed of the airship is not much different from that of a snail.
The problem is, if it weren't for the outbreak of a full-scale war between the Federation, if it weren't for the fact that both sides were bloodthirsty.
Who would be so bored as to use this thing to attack a Class A airship?!
What they didn't know was that using this thing to attack a Class A airship was indeed a waste, but that was exactly what Shadow wanted to see.
He wanted to see everyone's attitude of leaving no way out.
In the face of this incident, a loss of several hundred million is nothing.
At this moment.
Soldiers, carrying parachutes, jumped off the Shenyou, and hundreds of airship soldiers lined up and jumped out like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
They were well aware of the danger posed by missiles of this caliber.
Without an emergency plan, there's no way to intercept them. Jumping might give you a chance to survive, but not jumping will definitely kill you.
“It’s almost time,” the Faceless Men soldiers stood up, looking at the Divine Wanderer that was about to arrive above them.
They put on sunglasses.
The missile streaked into the sky with a long trail of flame, guided by precise lock-on guidance, and entered the sky with an undeniable and irresistible presence before everyone's eyes.
It pierced through the Shenyou ship in an instant!
The nuclear reactor inside the Shenyou exploded instantly, and the entire Shenyou burst into a blinding light, becoming the most dazzling fireworks display before nightfall.
The electromagnetic pulse generated by the direct explosion of the nuclear reactor traveled hundreds of kilometers, causing all electronic equipment on another Class A airship in the north to malfunction, forcing it to activate its backup electronic equipment.
Suddenly, the Yunting received a notification from Air Force Headquarters: "Evacuate!"
Within the Faceless Men's unit: "The Cloud Pavilion has been evacuated."
“Oh, there’s still one left. What a pity, the other person hasn’t submitted their pledge of allegiance yet,” said the captain of the Faceless Men’s Squad. “What should we do? The boss said everyone has to get on the pirate ship together, not a single one can be missing.”
Two black boxes, each controlling one of two Federal Cruise-class missiles.
These two strategic weapons are the pledge of allegiance of the other two people in the video conference.
Qingkun's faceless man was in charge of guidance, while the other two were responsible for launching.
We've only used one to scare away the Yunting Ship, so we need to use the other one too.
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
Another person who hasn't offered a pledge of loyalty might also seem a bit out of place.
The faceless captain thought for a moment and said, "First, wipe out the reconnaissance battalion chasing us from the north, then go find the 18th Field Brigade and give them the missiles. One missile will be enough to kill everyone."
"Is the murderous aura so strong, Captain?" someone asked with a smile.
In reality, 41 B-grade gene warriors may seem impressive, but on a real battlefield, a single shell could kill several of them.
Therefore, the Faceless Men are not front-line combat units; their expertise lies in infiltration, assassination, kidnapping, and precision-guided infiltration behind enemy lines.
That is their mission.
Chapter 640, Prelude
“You lost,” Chen Yu said with a smile as he sat on the wilderness playing chess with Li Bingxi. “Your chess style is just like your personality. You’re unwilling to take risks or make mistakes. I heard you have a famous theory that a hundred flawless processes equal the final victory. It sounds reasonable at first, but being too cautious in life isn’t good either.”
Chen Yu was still wearing his plain white clothes. Beside the chessboard, a blue ox was dozing off, with two bamboo baskets full on its back, containing a total of 32 scrolls.
Despite the dark clouds overhead, the two men sat calmly in the army group's forward base, playing Go.
The next moment, a light rain began to fall outside, accompanied by rumbling thunder.
The Awakening of Insects has arrived.
Lee Byung-hee slowly raised his eyes to look at Chen Yu: "You're well prepared, aren't you? That's the shadow of the Qing family; it's not shameful to show strategic respect."
“Senior, it’s time to make a move,” Chen Yu suddenly said.
“It’s not time yet,” Lee Byung-hee replied.
At this moment, a middle-aged man who had been waiting nearby suddenly said, "Our Qing family has shown enough sincerity. Please set off as soon as possible. They are currently trapped in the mountains and unable to break out, which is the best time to ambush and kill them."
"What's the rush?" Li Bingxi said calmly, "I don't think you have any sincerity. Those who want to take action don't dare to come to the battlefield in person, but instead send a mere advisor like you. Besides, you can't represent the Qing family. If you want to represent them, become the head of the family first."
Lee Byung-hee glanced at his advisors and said, "You should be thinking about how to satisfy us. After all, only our intervention can save your lives."
Beneath the calm exterior of that aide, veins were throbbing rapidly.
Now, some members of the Qing family have already pledged their allegiance and have also formed a deadly feud with the Shadow.
However, after seeing the pledge of loyalty, Lee Byung-hee was no longer in a hurry, and seemed to be waiting for a better offer.
He knew that once he received this pledge of allegiance, he would have certain people under his control.
That's politics for you; it's full of people who go back on their word. They only care about maximizing their own interests. As for integrity... can you even exchange it for money?
However, the advisor to the Qing family quickly calmed down, realizing that he could have imagined what was happening before it even occurred.
He looked at Chen Yu and asked, "How can you two make a move?"
Chen Yu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't look at me, look at this senior. He's the one who calls the shots."
Lee Byung-hee said, "The anti-gravity research center on the Chunlei River in the north is controlled by the few people behind you. These must also be transferred to Kashima. The natural gas field outside City 24 must also be transferred to Kashima."
The aide pondered for a moment: "This matter is too important; I must report it upstairs."
Lee Byung-hee laughed: "All these things combined, none of them are as important as your life. Hurry up and consider the price I'm offering."
The Kashima family has never had an aerial fortress because they haven't made any breakthroughs in the field of antigravity.
They had been allied with Kamishiro, hoping to extract something from him, but Kamishiro was very cunning and didn't let them get any benefits.
The reason Lee Byung-hee is risking his life to make this trip is to secure a future for Kashima. The family must master certain core technologies so that they won't be controlled by others at every turn.
The Qing family's advisors left and reported to their superiors via encrypted phone.
Lee Byung-hee looked at Chen Yu: "It seems very unusual that you didn't make any demands on the Qing family."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I was just worried that Shadow might threaten your safety, so I asked you to join forces because I genuinely care about you."
Lee Byung-hee scoffed.
Chen Yu changed the subject with a smile: "But don't you find it strange? Where is the head of the Qing family? Such a big thing happened, but the head of the Qing family is acting as if nothing happened. We can't see him making a sound at all."
Li Bingxi sneered, "Shadow has been eroding that old guy's power for the past ten years. I'm afraid that old guy couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to get rid of Shadow as soon as possible by using other people. As for Qingchen... his son, whom he had painstakingly hidden, was replaced by the Time Walker. If it were me, I would also want to kill him."
Chen Yu smiled but remained silent.
At this time, another unit arrived in the southern mountains. They rested briefly outside Forbidden Land No. 002 before plunging into the wilderness.
A direct force belonging to the Shadow was heading south to provide support, but was intercepted by Chen's forces who had been waiting on the road. A battle broke out instantly, with neither side holding back.
It was a grand and impressive event.
It's like everyone's sitting at a table playing cards, with each other's cards being revealed one by one, and only at the very last moment do they know who has the trump card.
But Chen Yu still had some worries. He knew that there was no real conflict between the Qing family's shadow and the head of the Qing family, so he wondered: What exactly is the head of the Qing family doing? What could be more important than this, that he would not even care about his family members giving up their anti-gravity research results?
Ever since the chessboard of heaven and earth was taken from Prison No. 18, the old man's actions have become somewhat incomprehensible.
...
...
On the towering tree in Forbidden Land No. 002, Dingdong stood at the edge of the treetop, gazing into the distance.
The trunk of this towering tree is so thick that even a giant like Dingdong would appear extremely small standing on it.
He saw from the tree that more troops had arrived, and that dark clouds were rolling in the sky, with rain pattering on the huge leaves.
For some reason, Dingdong has confirmed that these people are here to besiege Qingchen.
It was these people who blocked his way that prevented Qingchen from keeping his appointment.
"Ding-dong!"
(Aoyama Jun, please fly over and take a look, okay?)
