A Moment of Crisis!_2 These will all be closely supervised, and not a single error is permissible.

It is impossible to allow someone to unlock a nuclear missile and then freely select the time and target for a strike.

What if someone wants to attack themselves?

Could their own nuclear warhead blow up their own home?

As for that password, it is also extremely complicated.

The nuclear warhead’s password device is designed for one-time use to prevent tampering.

Usually, there are three sets of passwords, corresponding to three different levels of authority.

One set for the supreme ruler, one for the highest governing body, and one for the commander of the nuclear forces.

All three sets of passwords must be entered correctly to unlock the missile, allowing the warhead to be activated and ready for use; otherwise, the warhead will automatically lock down.

Once locked down, either the whole warhead has to be sent back to the factory for dismantling and the replacement of the initiation system, ignition device, password device, etc., which is extremely troublesome.

Moreover,

No matter what platform, before launching a missile, armament personnel or safety officers must perform a safety unlock.

Otherwise, even if launched, it won’t explode; it will fall from high altitude, get scorched at high temperatures, or endure severe impacts without detonating the nuclear warhead.

Even if forcibly cut and disassembled, it would only lead to the leakage of nuclear materials.

In short,

Handling nuclear warheads is not such a simple matter.

It is precisely because of this,

Stealing a nuclear warhead has an incredibly high level of difficulty.

If the situation hadn’t fallen into turmoil and chaos, entering a period of melee warfare…

If there hadn’t been the former Secretary of State Perrio and several other high-ranking and influential individuals…

If there hadn’t been a substantial bribe to clear layer upon layer of checkpoints, achieving internal and external cooperation…

Only with the right timing, geographical, and human conditions could one finally succeed in secretly dismantling an intercontinental ballistic missile, removing the warhead, and acquiring the three contained nuclear warheads.

And Lemur was no fool.

He didn’t directly confront Hittory over the satellite phone.

The clever man instantly realized that this was a golden opportunity.

Since you, Hittory, have no honor and plan to detonate a nuclear warhead in Xikelse, killing your subordinates and countless innocent civilians…

Then don’t blame me, Lemur, for being ruthless, seizing the chance to extract your three sets of launch codes, making the warhead mine…

Having made up his mind, naturally, Lemur was quick to think on his feet.

After waiting for a while, he immediately reported that the warhead was ready.

The timing couldn’t be too short, as that would arouse Hittory’s suspicions.

Nor could it be too long, in case he had a change of heart, realizing the severity of the issue, and decided against the detonation.

So…

Managing the timing well, Lemur reported solemnly with a request for instructions.

Hittory, too, was clever for a lifetime but foolish in a moment.

Tonight, first, he lost his closest kin, Perrio, formerly Auxiliary Business Association’s biggest backer.

Then, many of his family and friends, who were supposed to be holidaying at Strehl Manor in Sangkrei, ended up tragically ravaged by Wu Jie’s artillery fire.

Hatred caused him to lose his senses.

Anger prevented him from thinking.

He, too, was human, not a god.

Just as in reality, many conflicts and serious crimes stem from impulse.

Fights break out over a single phrase, road rage over being cut off, crimes committed in a moment of greed…

While humanity has evolved to a higher level, at its core, it is still a mammal.

When angered, not even God can subdue them!

In moments of impulsivity, who cares about the consequences?

So…

Without any guard up, completely unsuspecting, Hittory blurted out the hard-earned three sets of passwords.

Worried that Lemur might make a mistake, he deliberately slowed down his speech and repeated it once more.

Finally, he even had Lemur repeat the codes back to him, as he seemed to understand the gravity of the nuclear missile codes, knowing that if even a single digit was wrong, the warhead’s internal locking mechanism would activate, rendering the nuclear warhead unusable.

Lemur was more than cooperative, accurately recounting the codes and wholeheartedly assuring Hittory of his satisfaction.

Then…

After hanging up the satellite phone, there was no “then.”

Hittory didn’t become immediately suspicious but just waited.

He was waiting for the nuclear explosion to be successful, for his great revenge to be exacted.

He waited for the earth-shattering power to turn Wu Jie, that backstabbing bastard, into ashes.

He waited for the world-shaking nuclear blast to captivate the entire world, causing billions of people around the globe to tremble.

However…

Hittory, far away on a cruise ship, was a great distance from Xikelse and not standing by Lemur’s side.

How could he possibly know what Lemur was thinking, not being a worm in Lemur’s belly?

…

At four in the morning, the bustling city was quiet and cold.

Lemur got up and opened the window, allowing the piercing cold wind to blow into the room, to make his mind a bit clearer.

That night, as Wu Jie and his party were to board the A350 aircraft where Su Leige was, Hittory made arrangements.

Knowing that they were coming and that people from the Xu Family of Liuli City would be on the plane, it was obvious they would directly land in Nabiya.

Arriving in Nabiya, where would Wu Jie and his associates possibly stay?

Within the conflict-ridden Nabiya, only the Xikelse near the city, which held one of Tanglong Industrial Group’s security bases, had complete facilities, ample supplies, and strong offensive and defensive capabilities.

So as soon as that plane took off, Hittory ordered Lemur to set off.

First by plane and then by truck, they finally arrived at Xikelse in a roundabout way, lying in ambush beforehand.

At this very moment.

The nuclear warhead was placed in a van, hidden inside a shop below.

Lemur was well aware that two brothers were on night watch while four others were resting and sleeping.

If he went downstairs, entered the van, opened the wooden crate, removed the radiation protection net from the warhead, and input three sets of codes to disengage the safety lock, he could then set the detonation time.

Since the warhead was to be mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile meant to strike targets thousands of kilometers away, the process would not take more than half an hour.

Therefore, the permitted set detonation time ranged from 20 to 35 minutes.

But even if the time was set to detonate after 35 minutes, what then?

Could Lemur possibly grow wings and fly a hundred kilometers within half an hour to escape the nuclear blast?

Unless there was an airport just downstairs and a jet fighter on standby, waiting for him.

After setting it, he would have to immediately take off in the jet, turning on the afterburner for supersonic flight, desperately fleeing for his life.

But is that possible?

Looking through the window downstairs, there was only the desolate street from last night’s bustle.

After pondering for a moment.

Lemur still went downstairs.

First, he got in the vehicle and tried out the codes.

Damn it!

All three sets of codes were indeed correct, only the final two steps left—disengaging the safety lock and setting the time.

Quickly aborting the process, Lemur lit a cigarette and took deep, fierce drags.

Following Hittory’s order…

he and his brothers wouldn’t be able to escape the range of the nuclear blast within half an hour; death was certain!

If the orders weren’t carried out, Hittory would inevitably become suspicious and harbor resentment, possibly hiring someone to take revenge on himself or his family!

Fortune favors the bold!

Lemur immediately woke up his brothers and drove overnight to Tang’s Communications security base.

In the middle of the night, he went to deliver a super-sized gift to Wu Jie…
