Chapter 315 : Arrival, Chaos
When Ling Feng heard that Chen Xinian had deployed a bunker buster missile to deal with Zhang Yi, his face lit up with excitement.
"Fantastic! With this, Zhang Yi is as good as dead!"
Although Zhang Yi's superhuman abilities allowed him to absorb energy and physical attacks, it had already been tested that he couldn't absorb the energy from an explosion of 500 kilograms of TNT in one go.
The bunker busters currently equipped by Huaguo carry explosives of over a ton, with even larger, more destructive versions available.
West Hill Base had already submitted all data on Zhang Yi’s Shelter to Jiangnan District.
To ensure the complete destruction of the Shelter, Jiangnan District deployed a heavier model of bunker buster with enhanced penetration capabilities and a higher payload.
Chen Xinian leaned back in his chair, smiling faintly. "I warned him—young people shouldn't let a little special ability go to their heads. This world isn’t as simple as they think."
He motioned for Ling Feng to join him. “Come, Ling Feng. Let’s watch together as his Shelter is destroyed.”
Ling Feng stood behind Chen Xinian, both staring at the computer screen.
Displayed on it was a 3D model of the Shelter, programmed to update in real-time as soon as the missile struck.
Ling Feng was thrilled but couldn’t help but joke, “Deploying such a powerful weapon just to handle one Zhang Yi—it’s overkill, isn’t it?”
Chen Xinian sighed quietly.
“If only this weapon was under my command. In the past, I was on the same level as Zhu Zheng, but now he’s become like a local warlord.”
Chen Xinian shot Ling Feng a glance and chuckled, shaking his head.
"You're still too young. You don’t understand politics.”
Although he and Zhu Zheng shared some camaraderie, it wasn’t deep. After using up this favor, Chen Xinian would have to pay a much higher price to request Zhu Zheng’s help again.
Besides, for the Jiangnan District, the entire region was now their territory.
Whoever claimed power locally posed no real threat to them.
What reason would Zhu Zheng have to support Chen Xinian?
And Chen Xinian was a man who would rather be a "chicken's head than a bull’s tail." Sёarch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Even if it was just a small dominion in Tianhai City, he was still a sovereign in his own right.
There was no need for him to scramble to be anyone's underling.
Time ticked by slowly.
Zhang Yi, Liang Yue, and Chen Xinian were all waiting for the missile, launched from the silos in Jinling, to descend upon them.
Yang Xinxin’s gaze never left the screen, watching closely to avoid missing any critical information.
As midnight approached, a thin layer of sweat coated Zhang Yi’s palm.
The three quietly wiped their palms and put on their tactical gloves.
At Jiangnan District headquarters in Jinling, a middle-aged officer in military uniform pressed the launch button in the operations command room.
A massive bunker buster soared out of the missile silo, blazing a trail across the night sky as it streaked southeast.
The fiery tail illuminated the dark night, standing out distinctly over Tianhai City.
At that moment, many people in secret corners across Tianhai City lifted their heads, their expressions grim as they observed the sight.
Zhang Yi and his group were ready.
The three gripped their guns, and Hua Hua, the demon cat, fluffed up her black fur in alarm.
Liang Yue tightened her hold on her Tang Sword.
Chen Xinian’s eyes were glued to the screen, brimming with excitement.
Right then, at West Hill Base, the Information Department’s radar detected an unidentified object speeding towards them!
“What is that?!”
“It’s a missile... coming from Jinling!”
“What are they thinking?!”
“Report this immediately!”
---
By the time they detected it, it was already too late.
West Hill Base’s anti-air radar only covered a range of 200 kilometers, and the missile's speed left no time to react.
From within the snow vehicle, Zhang Yi watched as a bright streak descended on the horizon, crashing down like a meteor towards West Hill.
The hearts of Zhang Yi, Fatty Xu, and Uncle You leaped into their throats as they leaned forward instinctively, clutching onto anything within reach.
“Boom—”
A deep rumble echoed from the depths of the earth.
The sound wasn’t deafening as expected, since bunker busters explode hundreds of meters underground.
Yet the tremors were still intense, causing the vehicle to shake as if it were a small boat in a storm, creating an unsettling illusion of overturning. R
“D***, it worked!” Zhang Yi shouted in excitement.
If the ground was shaking so intensely from several kilometers away, the impact on the underground Shelter at West Hill Base would be unimaginable!
Zhang Yi instructed Yang Xinxin, “Xinxin, execute the plan!”
From the Safe House, Yang Xinxin calmly replied, “Understood!”
She brought her hovering finger down firmly on the Enter key.
Inside West Hill Base, it was as if an earthquake had struck, throwing the entire facility into chaos!
Caught completely off-guard by the missile attack, the entire base shuddered violently, waking people from their sleep.
Those unaware of the situation thought it was an earthquake, screaming in terror.
Meanwhile, Yang Xinxin hacked into the base's network and shut off the power.
The whole West Hill Base plunged into pitch darkness, and without power, no systems could operate.
Panicked screams filled the base.
Chen Xinian, thrown off his chair, had to be helped up by Ling Feng.
“What’s going on? What happened? Why is this happening?”
Chen Xinian looked around in confusion, his anger exploding in a shout.
Just then, a call from the Information Department came through. “Leader, we’ve been hit by a missile strike!”
“What? A missile strike? From where?!”
Chen Xinian was about to curse when a thought struck him.
“Could it be… that b*****d Zhu Zheng double-crossed me?!”
Unaware that his base’s network had been infiltrated, Chen Xinian assumed Zhu Zheng had sabotaged him.
But cursing would have to wait—his priority was restoring order at West Hill Base.
He immediately rounded up the heads of various departments, assigning tasks.
“Ling Feng, rally the Special Forces Team to secure our safety!”
“Make sure no one from the Fourth Life Pod causes trouble. Station soldiers there and defend it at all costs—if anyone tries to create chaos, kill them on the spot!”
“Also, get the engineers to repair the power systems!”
Despite the turmoil, Chen Xinian quickly grasped the situation.
Their base was heavily fortified; a few missiles alone wouldn’t bring it down.
They just had to survive this brief period of disorder.
It wouldn’t take long.
