Going Crazy!

Night had fallen.

Xikelse town had not seen the bright lights come on.

The dim light from the oil lamps made the town seem especially desolate.

The dilapidated slums and brick buildings contrasted sharply with the well-ordered street architecture of the bustling city.

The night here was bustling.

Not only because of its thriving commerce, but mainly because there was electricity.

The numerous merchants of the bustling city paid their dues based on the size of their shops every month.

This money was not only used to hire security guards, but also for infrastructure construction.

For instance, repairing sewage pipes and septic tanks to prevent rainwater from flooding the streets and sewage from overflowing.

They had also spent money on purchasing a ship-use gas turbine generator set, which could continuously generate power using low-quality, cheap heavy oil to meet demands.

In the unstable and conflicted Nabiya, the hardworking and enduring Chinese merchants kept this bustling city lit through the night.

People from several tens of kilometers around came by bicycle or motorcycle, calling friends to come and bargain hunt here.

It was about seven in the evening.

Under the night sky, the small commodity city saw all businesses entering their peak hours.

The influx of small traders and scattered customers made the place bustling, teeming with people.

The streets were extremely lively, filled with the sounds of haggling, the roar and honking of motorcycles…

Under the orange glow of the streetlights, the black skin and bright white teeth became more pronounced.

The busiest business, naturally, was the mobile phone store.

The well-known mobile phone manufacturers from Liuli Continent had already begun to enter the 5G era.

And the common people had changed their smartphones again and again.

A large number of used phones that were phased out domestically were shipped by the ton to Jiazhou Continent.

After simple repairs and language conversion, these refurbished smartphones were sold in the market at extremely low prices.

Thanks to Tanglong Industrial Group, which undertook network communication projects in Nabiya and several surrounding countries,

Though the languages were different, the signal standards used by the phones were the same.

Moreover, to attract more customers, the communication operators offered very cheap packages.

And so,

With inexpensive smartphones and cheap communication packages, although leaving the town would often result in unstable signals, the local people still gladly accepted them.

After all, those who came here to sell phones knew the consumer psychology of the public very well.

In the store, one could enjoy free WiFi, free downloads of movies and music, free charging, and more.

The mobile phone screens and sounds must be very large, for they liked to sing and dance.

The phone battery must have strong endurance because the rural areas here generally lacked electricity, making charging difficult.

These people of Jiazhou Continent tended to stick together easily, a race or a tribe could quickly spread word of mouth, and once the business was established, it would lead to a constant flow of money.

Paying one or twenty yuan for domestically phased-out smartphones was considered conscientious, some were simply exchanged for stainless steel pots.

Rather than dissolving them to extract precious metals—polluting the environment and easily causing worker injuries—it was better to refurbish the technology and bring it to Jiazhou.

A few tens of yuan in costs could sell for a few hundred yuan.

A tenfold profit was fairly common here.

Of course.

The wholesale and retail prices of other goods within the city were also extremely tempting.

Otherwise, how could it have attracted such a large number of people to come and do business, and countless Jiazhou Continent citizens to come and hunt for bargains?

However…

The bustling crowds and heavy traffic made it incredibly difficult to conduct investigations.

Every highway leading in and out was crowded with people and cars coming and going, and every parking lot was full.

How could it be easy to find a nuclear warhead?

After all, nuclear weapons had evolved over decades and were no longer the massive two- or three-ton behemoths of World War II.

Using supercomputers, ongoing calculations of nuclear explosion configurations were performed to determine the optimal explosion designs…

Better fissile materials were used to manufacture detonation devices that generated extremely high temperatures, thereby causing rapid fusion of fusion materials…

In short, scientific and technological innovations continually emerged.

Decades ago, an electronic computer could weigh dozens of tons, but now a chip the size of a fingernail can perform hundreds of millions of calculations per second.

Nuclear warheads were the same.

They had gradually been optimized from several tons to a few hundred kilograms.

Although smaller and lighter, their power had become even greater, more stable, and safer.

Today’s nuclear warheads, to be launched in fast, heavily loaded missiles, also had to re-enter the atmosphere at high speed.

Therefore, they must withstand high and low temperatures, resist impacts, and endure vibrations…

There was once a strategic bomber from a certain country, equipped with a nuclear bomb, that encountered a mechanical failure with its weapon mount during a flight, causing the nuclear bomb to fall from a high altitude to the ground, yet such a severe impact did not cause the nuclear warhead to crack or leak.

How could the normal bumps and vibrations during road transportation possibly render a nuclear warhead inoperable?

More importantly…

Many people mistakenly think that nuclear bombs always emit radiation.

If one were to carry a Geiger counter or similar radiation detection equipment, it would supposedly be easy to find.

But in reality…

Any nuclear weapon, before it explodes, is safe.

Otherwise, how could the factories manufacture and assemble them?

How could the military maintain them regularly?

Especially the most advanced hydrogen bomb warheads today, not only are they equipped with radiation isolation, but the latest nuclear materials only emit high-energy rays in the critical environment required for explosion; otherwise, their radiation is very low, not even penetrating a single sheet of paper.

Moreover, nuclear warheads use extremely expensive composite bodies.

The outer layer is made of high-temperature-resistant ceramic honeycomb materials to withstand high temperatures during re-entry into the atmosphere, the middle is made of alloy materials to withstand impacts, and the core has internal composite materials to ensure radiation isolation…

After all, being nation-destroying weapons, their design and manufacturing naturally utilize the best of everything.

And the final cost of a nuclear warhead with a megaton blast yield is hundreds of millions, not to mention the regular maintenance costs later and the disposal costs when its design life expires.

For this reason, even the most prosperous and powerful countries cannot afford to produce and store too many nuclear warheads; having money is not enough to endure such expenditure, as it is not like preparing for a world war.

Given this.

How could one find a well-designed and manufactured nuclear warhead?

A nuclear warhead weighs only a few hundred kilograms.

A car, let alone a truck, could easily transport it.

However, in Jiazhou, the passability of sedans is too poor, not robust or durable enough; pickup trucks are much more common.

This evening.

Downtown and its surroundings saw at least a thousand various pickup trucks and vans arrive, along with various other trucks.

With so many vehicles, it was impossible to inspect each one visually.

How could one search?

Moreover, a nuclear warhead with a megaton-level blast yield has an excessively large effective kill radius.

No need to transport it into the city and hide it; just dig a hole and conceal it in the outskirts.

As soon as it exploded, any building within several kilometers would be razed to the ground.

The extremely high temperature and powerful shock wave would turn areas within tens of kilometers into a hell on earth.

Even places tens of kilometers away would experience the ravages of a super hurricane.

So…

Where were the nuclear warheads hidden?

…

Around eight o’clock in the evening.

On top of the building.

Facing the cold, dry night wind, Wu Jie smoked, his brow slightly furrowed.

Zhang Ren and Qian Le had been searching everywhere with their men, but it was destined to be fruitless.

Though Xikelse was a small town, hiding a 300-kilogram nuclear warhead there was all too easy.

Tang Xiao obviously knew this, so after hearing the fourth report of no findings through the radio, she simply ordered to stop searching.

“What did Zheng say?

Are we participating in the auction or not?”

Tang Xiao asked, frowning.

Wu Jie exhaled a ring of smoke and shook his head:

“Spending five hundred million in cash to join a very unreliable private auction, the chance of being scammed is nearly one hundred percent!”

“And if we want to bid, I must go personally.

Once I go, they’ll set a trap to eliminate me!”

Wu Jie paused for a moment and glanced at Tang Xiao:

“But don’t worry, Du said that a country has already paid one hundred million Gold Coins in cash, successfully registered for the auction qualification, and is meeting at Seleck port the day after tomorrow.

His agents can blend in there!”

“From what we know, the auction is taking place on a super cruise ship renamed Sea Shark, which has entered International Waters.

Only Perrio and the Hittory brothers know the current hiding place of the three nuclear warheads!”

“They plan to detonate one before the auction to demonstrate the power of the warheads to the buyers.

Wherever I am, they will bomb there, and only then will the remaining two be auctioned.

So it’s not one we’re looking for, but three!”

Tang Xiao clenched her fists, her expression cold:

“If all else fails, we draw the snake out of its hole!

They said they’d strike where I am, right?”

“We’ll go settle the score with ‘Tao’ in Sangkrei.

If we are hundreds of kilometers away, they’ll surely be busy transporting the warheads!”

Wu Jie smiled faintly.

“Even if they transport…

the warheads are only 300 kilograms each; they won’t be transporting them openly.

How can we even find them?”

“This…”

Tang Xiao bit her red lips tightly, looking troubled.

Wu Jie squinted his eyes, finishing the last puff of his cigarette.

As the saying goes,

There’s a head to every injustice, and a debtor for every debt.

Since all these things were cooked up by the Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association,

Facing a life-and-death crisis, why should I just sit and wait?

Strike first to gain the upper hand.

He opened his tactical laptop and immediately sent an order to Phantom on the cruise.

Of course, the two from Su Leige, always ready to be controlled by microbial nanobots, should go ‘mad’.

Additionally, as Tang Xiao suggested, it was time for a trip to Sangkrei.

Lin Yuan and Tang Xiao had been kidnapped one after another.

It was all orchestrated by ‘Tao’, commanding from afar.

Those eight kidnappers were already dealt with before they departed.

Then Yang Tao, as one of the masterminds, surely couldn’t be let off easily, right?

…

The sky was clear.

The Sea Shark super cruise liner, with a displacement of over three hundred thousand tons, sailed slowly on the sea.

Tonight’s banquet hall was especially lively.

After a fulfilling meal in the outdoor restaurant, an intoxicated Hittory invited many to the banquet hall for a night of singing and dancing.

Such a paper-drunk, gold-blinded collective revelry was obviously not suitable for the elderly Perrio, who had retired to the Presidential Suite much earlier.

After enjoying himself, Perrio leaned lazily against the headboard.

He was somewhat unable to sleep!

After all, the most crucial moment for the Auxiliary Business Association was approaching.

The auction of the nuclear warheads was set to start the day after tomorrow.

How many forces registered?

What kind of organizations and entities?

How much had been collected in deposits…

Perrio was very concerned about these aspects, so he checked the registration emails on his tablet.

Suddenly,

There was a commotion from next door, like something being smashed along with shrill screams.

Was the old rogue Su Leige having a fit of epilepsy?

Perrio put on his pajamas and immediately got up to check.

He had a super access card that could open all rooms on the cruise.

Upon entering, he saw Su Leige clutching his head, as if his head was splitting in excruciating pain.

“Perrio!

You old geezer!!”

Su Leige suddenly shouted, and charged at him like a starving tiger.

Perrio was startled.

He turned and ran back to his suite, slamming the door shut, locking it at once, and forcefully holding the door shut.

Su Leige kept yelling and banging on the door from outside for a while.

Just when Perrio thought he had left, Su Leige went back to his room, grabbed a chair, and started frantically smashing the door from the outside.

In the banging sounds, Perrio was truly frightened.

Looking at the monitor beside the door, he was stunned to see that Su Leige’s assistant Tommy had also arrived.

This guy had somehow acquired a fireman’s axe and charged toward the door lock, hacking it fiercely with the axe.

Mad!

Truly mad!

Perrio dared not hold the door any longer, shouting loudly for the guards while hurriedly pulling the sofa to barricade the door; he then ran to the study to grab a gun.

But before he got far, Tommy and his companion broke through the door.

One wielded a chair, the other held an axe.

The two charged frantically toward him like possessed demons…
