Chapter 786: Chapter 786
The Dominating Vessel Air Fortress continued its ascent.
It soared high above, visible to all the citizens in the cities below, its surface completely covered by a dense swarm of Mantis.
Countless Mantis relentlessly attacked, attempting to gnaw through the protective deck with their mandibles.
But despite the ferocity of the Mantis swarm, they were just flesh and blood. The entire Air Fortress had completed its airtight pressurization, making it impossible for the Mantis to penetrate.
Even so, the Royal Organization members inside the ship's hangar found the sight breathtaking.
The Mantis swarm fearlessly charged forward, one after another, and even though everyone knew they were doomed, it still felt unnerving.
At the command seat, Nikita sneered, “Whoever is controlling these Mantis, they're dreaming if they think they can sink an Air Fortress with this. It's utterly foolish.”
Nikita continued, “Full power to the anti-gravity device and engines. Ascend to 12,000 meters in 12 minutes! Once we reach that altitude, they will all suffocate and die!”
The Air Fortress continued its ascent, while the Shendai officials left outside on the ground were swallowed by the Mantis swarm.
However, no one realized that this terrifying suicide attack of the Mantis swarm was merely a cover for a single individual to infiltrate.
Nikita believed she had won, but she was unaware of the person who had already infiltrated the Air Fortress.
The massive scale of the Mantis swarm, killing tens of thousands of Shendai members, all for the purpose of getting one person onto the Air Fortress…
Who would believe such a grand scheme?
Meanwhile, on the streets of City 20.
Xiao San, wearing a baseball cap, looked up at the sky, where the Mantis fell to the ground like rain after dying at high altitude.
He turned to the golden Mantis King beside him, who seemed a little sad.
In this battle, the Mantis population was decimated.
Just the Air Fortress's takeoff and the massive plume of smoke had killed a third of the population.
Xiao San comforted, “Don’t be sad, Xiao Jin. We’re here for the Leader’s plan, and he has more important things to do. Now that City 20 is pacified, we’ll go to City 22 next. The Leader has already prepared a new plan for us to infiltrate there; you’ll have a chance to breed again then.”
Xiao Jin rubbed against Xiao San’s leg, indicating that he understood.
“Let’s go,” Xiao San said with a smile, “We’re starting a new journey.”
With that, Xiao Jin led the remaining Mantis swarm back into the sewers, while Xiao San lowered his cap and walked into the shadows.
A successful withdrawal.
The residents, no longer seeing the Mantis, gradually returned to the streets.
Some even drove madly towards the Upper Three Districts… Since most of the Shendai Consortium members are dead, doesn’t that mean that the entire Upper Three District is almost deserted?
They definitely can’t steal houses, but the problem is that the homes of those big shots must have a lot of valuable things!
At this time, the Guardians' Union simultaneously issued a message on various platforms under the official account “A Loving Family”: “The Guardians’ Union’s operation to purge City 20 has ended. All residents need not panic. The Mantis will complete their withdrawal within three days and will not continue to affect your lives.”
“We sincerely apologize for any alarm and inconvenience caused by this plan, but the Shendai are an even more disgusting group than the Mantis; we must eliminate them.”
The residents felt relieved.
Earlier, everyone was worried about what would happen if the Shendai Consortium members were killed but the Mantis didn’t leave.
The thought of living in a city of Mantis was indeed disgusting…
Now, the Guardians’ Union had made a promise.
This message was followed by:
“Down with the Shendai Consortium!”
“Is it still possible to join the Guardians’ Union now?”
“Guardians’ Union, do you have any single brothers or sisters?”
The Guardians’ Union had become a symbol of justice.
The Shendai Consortium finally couldn’t bear it anymore!
Thirty minutes later.
A high-level meeting of the Shendai army was convened, and a new order was suddenly issued: “Bombard City 10.”
It must be remembered that City 20 was the Shendai’s base camp, and the death of tens of thousands of Shendai core members there meant that many Shendai members in the army had lost their loved ones. How could they not be angry?
This anger was irrational, it was madness.
That night, at the Shendai missile force base, two missile launchers simultaneously raised their launch wells, two cruise missiles slowly rose into the air, accelerating constantly, launching towards City 10.
After the two missiles took off, they trailed long fiery wings as they entered the atmosphere, then began to fall.
However, before the missiles could reach the ground, the Qing Family defense forces hidden in the north of City 10 immediately responded!
In the Qing Corporation military base, the anti-missile system frantically warned, launching 24 Tailwind-1 missiles to intercept the Shendai’s two cruise missiles.
With several booming sounds, the residents of City 10 were awakened, watching the flames explode overhead.
This was the meaning of the deal between Qing Chen and the Old Master: When someone is tormented beyond endurance by the Guardians’ Union and wants to turn the tables, the Qing Family would be responsible for helping the Guardians’ Union press the table back down!
This was the Qing Family’s support for the Guardians’ Union.
The Old Master on Ginkgo Mountain had decided to use the Guardians’ Union as a new engine to build a new war machine for Qing Chen.
In the future, the Guardians’ Union would have its own office building in all cities in the southwest.
After the Old Master’s return to work, the first order he implemented was: At least one-tenth of the Guardians’ Union members must be employed in all enterprises under the Qing Family in the southwest. This indicator would affect the performance and dividend distribution of all enterprises.
In this way, the Guardians’ Union, under this strong medicine, would rapidly spread throughout the southwest Qing Family and complete the integration of all resources.
At that time, it wouldn’t matter who managed the Commercial Business Group; the Guardians’ Union would be the most important backbone of the Qing Family.
No one could escape Qing Chen’s absolute control.
At 1 a.m., the Air Fortress finally flew slowly eastward at 12,000 meters.
Nikita looked at the hangar, “All personnel who boarded the Air Fortress just now, assemble. Undergo identity verification again, go through the security checkpoint again, and have blood tests to prevent the spread of unknown infectious diseases.”
Soon, all the white people who hurriedly boarded the Air Fortress were gathered together.
Someone re-watched the gate surveillance to use facial recognition to confirm the number of people.
At this time, the white man responsible for checking the surveillance suddenly raised his head and said to his superior, “Longgong, one person is missing. After boarding the Air Fortress, he didn’t stay but went straight to the second floor!”
The superior frowned and said, “Use facial recognition to identify him!”
“Nathan, Air Force Lieutenant, today’s day off,” said the surveillance officer. “Could he have gone back to his dorm to rest?”
“Don’t care what he’s doing, find him now!” the superior lowered his voice, “Before Nikita discovers our mistake, you must find him!”
Qing Chen walked through the long corridors of the Air Fortress, calmly nodding to everyone as if he lived here.
He had to complete the second identity transformation before the identity of everyone inside the fortress could be re-verified.
The time given to him wouldn’t be long.
But the problem was, this was his first time here. He had to use the little information he knew to quickly find a way to hide!
Qing Chen walked down the corridor, his pupils constricting. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
He kept analyzing the information he knew.
When he decided to take a trip to the other side of the Forbidden Sea, he immediately added Purple Orchid Star and obtained overseas intelligence from He Jinqiu.
He Jinqiu didn’t charge a fee. Out of a cooperative relationship between allies, he gave away everything he knew for free.
However, the information Nine Provinces Island could provide wasn’t much either.
The main structure of the Air Fortress is divided into four floors.
The first floor is the outer deck, where dozens of Fighter Jets and Airships are parked.
The second floor is the combat zone, where all the white people serve as combat personnel. Power control and weapon control are all on this floor.
The third floor is the activity area for the white people, where the combat personnel gather to rest.
There are banquet halls, meeting rooms, gyms, swimming pools, restaurants, and even special female companions. White people can enjoy their lives during non-combat times.
The fourth floor is the dormitory area, but people here are not allowed to leave casually.
There are only black and Asian people here. They are responsible for the logistics of the entire Air Fortress. They are responsible for cleaning the rooms and toilets of white combat personnel and providing food for them. There are even many Asian women who work hard while providing companionship to the white people.
The living environment on the fourth floor is like a slum, stuffy, humid, and even a bit smelly.
The biggest factor restricting the Air Fortress’s stay in the air is supplies and water sources.
Therefore, the bathwater and drinking water on the fourth floor are the water used by the white people on the third floor, filtered and discharged. Once the Air Fortress hasn’t been serviced for a long time, the drinking water for everyone on this floor will be filled with a strange smell.
Before they work every day, they must enter the dust removal workshop and be forcibly sprayed with disinfectant.
The disinfectant has a slight corrosive effect on the skin, so many black and Asian people have white spots of corrosion on their skin. This is information about the Air Fortress, but He Jinqiu didn’t get the map of the fortress or the distribution of the facilities. That was top-secret information.
Qing Chen thought hard for a long time. Which piece of information could be used…?
He suddenly smiled; it was the phrase, “Black and Asian people on the fourth floor are not allowed to leave the Air Fortress!”
This might mean that since the people on the fourth floor cannot leave the Air Fortress, they won’t have orders to check their identities because it’s simply unnecessary!
Although Qing Chen wasn’t sure, he was willing to gamble! This was the best clue he found from the clues!
Moreover, he couldn’t always play the role of a white person, as he couldn’t always wear a wig, and Da Fu couldn’t disguise the color of his skin and the abundant body hair of a white person. As long as he went to the bathroom, he would be exposed.
So Qing Chen’s best choice was to play an Asian.
He quickened his pace towards the area, but how could he get to the fourth floor? He didn’t see any downward passages.
There were elevators, but he couldn’t take the elevator.
After searching for ten minutes, Qing Chen finally saw several Asians walking into a narrow passage.
If nothing unexpected happened, that was the way to the fourth floor.
Just as Qing Chen was about to follow, he suddenly stopped.
No, he knew nothing about that place, and he didn’t know if a white man suddenly entering would be too noticeable.
After carefully recalling the angles of all the surveillance cameras, Qing Chen returned to the third floor and casually walked to an intersection.
Then, based on his memory of boarding the Air Fortress, he changed to a new face.
He didn’t know what he was waiting for.
The next moment, more than forty white people in the same uniform rushed down. They dispersed to search every corner.
When they passed Qing Chen, they only glanced at him without asking any questions, because it was no longer the face they were looking for.
But after they passed, Qing Chen followed closely behind.
These people loudly asked, “Have you seen Nathan?”
Qing Chen also shouted behind them, “Yes, have you seen Nathan!”
To be honest, Qing Chen only just learned that his name was Nathan…
He followed a group of people so brazenly, acting as if nothing was wrong, searching for “himself” with everyone.
Those who came down to search for him would never have imagined that Qing Chen dared to do this!
Someone said, “Go to the dormitory area! See if he’s in the dormitory!”
Qing Chen instantly understood that these people couldn’t yet confirm whether Nathan was substituted. Otherwise, how could they guess that Nathan was in the dormitory? They would definitely check important facilities first, being careful not to destroy them.
Upon arriving at Nathan’s dormitory, it was empty.
A group of people searched every corner of the third floor again, but still found nothing.
At this moment, the leader said, “Go to the fourth floor, see if he’s hiding there. Notify all units to pay attention; there is a major problem with Nathan. Anyone on the Air Fortress who sees him must report to the investigation team!”
Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem!
More than forty people ran towards the passage to the fourth floor, Qing Chen following closely behind.
This was Qing Chen’s plan. Following more than forty white people into the fourth floor would definitely not draw any attention.
Perhaps those searching for Qing Chen never expected that they would personally lead Qing Chen to his destination.
