Chapter 511: Chapter 393: Infinite Future Knowledge_3

"But in the past six years, with our surging spiritual technology, we’ve accumulated a larger population, a more comprehensive education system, a fairer selection mechanism, and greater organizational strength and resources mobilization capability."

"This means we have more talent training in a more efficient way."

"Thereby, the gap between us and New Country has actually been closing over these years."

"If you also consider the development of weapons, the disparity in military strength between the two sides has become even narrower."

"Take, for example, the rapid response force of East Sea City I’ve been leading these past two years. Each member is at least a second-generation Soldier King, equipped with the latest exoskeleton armor, laser weapons, and unmanned weapon platforms... They can already withstand a direct confrontation with many powerhouses from Mirror World."

"For instance, last year, we directly crushed an armed gang from Mirror World, killing a third-generation gang leader on the spot."

"A full-scale conflict is certainly something we should avoid."

"But a limited, small-scale clash to demonstrate our combat strength to New Country, I believe, is very necessary."

As Zhao Lichuan spoke, a hint of interest could be seen in the eyes of several leaders present.

But just then, a loud boom came from outside the building.

"Was that an explosion?"

"What’s happened?"

"Is someone attacking the building?"

Zhao Lichuan reassured the crowd, saying, "Everyone, rest assured, our people are guarding the entire building. This is arguably the safest place in East Sea City... "

But not long after he had finished speaking, everyone was alarmed to discover that the noises outside were getting louder and louder.

The sounds of gunfire, explosions, and roars kept coming, and it felt as if they were getting closer and closer... closer and closer...

Boom!

With a violent tremor, to everyone’s astonishment, a huge hole was blasted through one of the walls in the meeting room.

A man over two meters tall, his muscles appearing like chiseled marble, surrounded by swirling black Gang Qi, slowly walked in.

He looked around the room and said with resignation, "Am I the first to arrive?"

Zhao Lichuan looked at the man with an icy expression. As soon as he caught sight of the words "Divine Hidden" on the man’s chest, he immediately understood the man’s identity.

"You’re from Divine Hidden Camp? You serve as guards for the President of New Country, and yet you barge in here..."

Before Zhao Lichuan could finish his sentence, the ceiling of the meeting room burst open, creating a large hole, and a black, emaciated figure dropped from above, landing right in the center of the room.

At the same time, the door of the meeting room was gently pushed open, and a strikingly dressed woman with skin like snow walked in slowly.

The woman looked at the other two intruders from Divine Hidden Camp with resignation and said, "Bao Shan, Leng Jian, you two really... Isn’t it better to use the door than to break in so chaotically?"

The man known as Leng Jian responded indifferently, "A diviner told me that I’ve killed too much and risk divine retribution. Recently, I’ve been trying to abstain from killing. Descending from the rooftop like this means I don’t have to kill anyone."

The towering figure, Bao Shan, grunted, "I’m still... not quite used to buildings like this in the forbidden areas."

As the three of them carried on chatting as if no one else was around, Zhao Lichuan gritted his teeth and said, "How did you get in? We clearly have the rapid response forces guarding the outside..."

The woman laughed and said, "Oh, those soldiers? Don’t worry, the President instructed us not to kill anyone this time, so I just knocked them out. They’re not dead."

Although the outcome was anticipated, the response shocked everyone present, and a thread of panic wove through their hearts.

The woman continued, "I am Jiu Ye from Divine Hidden Camp. The President sent the three of us to deliver a message to you."

On the side, Commander Zhang Tiande looked at the three of them gravely, thinking to himself, "Bao Shan, Leng Jian, Jiu Ye... Even before the surge of spiritual technology, they were already military despots of the south."

At that moment, Zhang Tiande still remembered that these three military despots had always been figures he had had to look up to.

"Now, these three are forcibly conscripted as personal guards by the New Country’s President, all of them masters of the Third Legacy. Even within the Divine Hidden Camp, they must be among the most formidable," a woman who called herself Jiu Ye said, her cherry lips slightly parting as she continued,

"The President says the kiddies are prone to mischief, need a spanking from time to time, need some discipline to prevent major disasters."

"Seven days from now is the day the President will execute Lin Xing. His Excellency understands that you all have a tough time with the public order in East Sea City, so before the execution begins, he wants to help you relieve the pressure of the Spirit Cave and capture some of the rats running rampant, to prevent chaos in East Sea City before and after the execution."

"Do you... understand?"

...

Two days later.

Zhao Ping, with his hood drawn, walked through the underground passages.

His face also flashed with rage as he looked at the news on his phone.

"New Country to take over the management of all Spirit Caves in East Sea City?"

"Without firing a single shot, just surrendered all the Spirit Caves in East Sea City..."

"So what does East Sea City really belong to in the future, Xia Country or New Country?"

But after a wave of anger, a trace of helplessness appeared on Zhao Ping’s face.

"The times are such... With the power of the President’s Fourth Legacy and the status of one of the top four powers in the world, who can change his decision?"

It was at this moment that a line of red text suddenly appeared on his phone screen.

"Stop, turn back immediately. People from the Divine Hidden Camp are searching for you up ahead."

As Zhao Ping’s face was filled with confusion and doubt, the phone screen flickered, and a video popped up, beginning to play surveillance footage of the street ahead, where New Country soldiers were searching for something.

"Hurry!"

Upon confirming the authenticity of the footage, Zhao Ping quickly turned and left, questioning the phone with puzzlement, "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

The other party didn’t answer, but over the next few hours, they sporadically guided him through the phone, helping him avoid New Country’s pursuit time and again.

However, during this process, Zhao Ping also realized that New Country’s pursuit was getting closer and closer; it was clear that they had some method of tracking him.

In Zhao Wanxi’s observation, the woman known as Jiu Ye was holding a tube of blood, repeatedly performing Divination to confirm Zhao Ping’s location.

Zhao Wanxi sighed, "Was it the blood collected when Zhao Ping fought the Sky Beast?"

This supernatural power of performing Divination through blood was clearly not something Zhao Wanxi could stop by hacking cameras, editing footage, hijacking cell phones, and the like, as she had done in the past.

All she could do was guide Zhao Ping to get into a taxi, hoping he could use the vehicle to create some distance.

Zhao Ping looked at his phone and said, "Is it the Divine Hidden Camp that’s chasing me? Aren’t they the President’s guards? So, does that mean the President is also targeting me?"

Through communication with Zhao Wanxi, Zhao Ping gradually understood his current situation.

He gave a bitter smile and thought, "What a pity, I only control 55 strands of sword thread right now. If only I had more time, to increase the numbers past a hundred, I wouldn’t need to hide like this. And maybe then, even the President wouldn’t be able to take me down..."

Feeling the tens of thousands of surveillance cameras around her, Zhao Wanxi thought, "Good, we’ve temporarily escaped the encirclement."

"It’s not a big problem yet; no need to trouble the senior brother."

Just then, Zhao Ping, sitting in the taxi, suddenly looked up towards the sky.

But before he could rush out of the car, a mountainous figure burst through layers of airwaves, his feet thundering down onto the car’s front hood with a crash, as if a giant nail had pierced the body of the vehicle.

Letting various metal fragments strike against his Protective Gang Qi, Bao Shan looked down at Zhao Ping with a vicious grin, "Found you, little rat."
