This was a large-scale, organized, planned, and well-organized attack!
"Wait, no, it's not aimed at the doomsday beacon." Qin Jin held his phone, which was still connected to Yun Fan, the genius hacker who turned into a celebrity.
"Those things are targeting the residential buildings next to the doomsday beacon!"
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
Most people with a brain have now realized that the mastermind probably originally intended to attack the people here and kill them, especially the leader. The precise assassination just now proved that the leader must be on the death list.
As it turns out, those people have probably discovered that the doomsday beacon is too sturdy, and all kinds of high technology cannot penetrate it. Moreover, there are many experts here, so for the time being, they have no way to deal with the people inside.
Now those behind-the-scenes manipulators have simply changed their strategy and are directly attacking residential buildings!
This is not only a provocation, it's a demonstration. Even if you manage to protect yourselves, so what? Everyone you want to protect will die!
Try experiencing what powerlessness feels like!
The commander-in-chief frowned and walked to the window.
Yunfan realized it too late; the commander had already seen something rapidly approaching. Based on what they had just said, it wasn't hard to imagine what it was.
"I'm afraid it's already beyond the interception range." Nan Zhu came to the window and frowned at just one glance.
Given that the Doomsday Beacon is equipped with so much high technology, it's no surprise that it must have the ability to intercept missiles.
However, that is within a certain range and cannot spread throughout the entire Yanlong Kingdom. These flying things are clearly not targeting this area; they are probably in a range that they can see but is far enough away from them.
Commander-in-Chief: "..."
"Shiyin." Under everyone's watchful eyes, the leader spoke softly while holding onto the window frame. Nanzhu noticed that there seemed to be some red runes flashing on the back of the leader's hand.
I hereby command you.
Now come to me and stop them.
Everyone stared at the leader in astonishment, not quite understanding what had happened. They only felt the air distort slightly, and even the leader's expression and demeanor seemed to shift.
The familiar sense of stagnation returned; everyone's thinking was normal, proceeding at a normal pace, observing everything around them at a normal speed.
But their movements were so slow, as if they were moving at 0.1x speed, so sluggish it was despairing.
Immediately afterwards, a roar came from the distant sky, and strings of fire exploded in the distance. From the distance of the Doomsday Beacon, it looked like popcorn was exploding in the sky.
"At your command, my Lord Commander."
Shi Yin's voice suddenly appeared in the room. Everyone looked over and found that Shi Yin was already standing next to the Prime Minister, just as she put away her cane.
“However, if I may remind you, sir, your puppet ability can only be used to force commands on a puppet three times.” Shi Yin leaned against the window with her arms crossed: “This time, consider it a waste.”
"Sister Yin!"
"Miss!"
The moment Shi Yin was seen, a cheer erupted in the room.
“The people are the most important. If we don’t bring you back in time, it could result in hundreds of deaths and injuries, and countless more people will be left homeless.” The commander sighed. “This would put unnecessary pressure on the shelters and safe zones.”
"Do as you please. Just remember this is for saving your life," Shi Yin snorted.
If it weren't for that guy Agarai taking matters into his own hands, we wouldn't have had to waste a forced return to town.
This puppet ability, of course, cannot force Shion. If Shion is on guard, it can only make Shion pause for 2-3 seconds.
At most 3 seconds later, Tokine's power will be able to directly destroy this superpower that was suppressed by her lower position.
Therefore, it is completely impossible to force Tokine to do something she doesn't want to do. However, this is a life-saving tool for Tokine and the leader to travel.
It can teleport you directly to the leader's side without even needing to locate him, which is much more convenient than teleportation.
"Great, it seems we've weathered this crisis." Ye Shaoheng wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he had lost his composure, was arrested, had to kneel in the ancestral hall, and write a self-criticism, it was good that everyone was alright.
Ye Shaoheng checked the condition of the chief, then checked the condition of Ji Yunhan and Ye Yuansong, and then went to take stock of the physical and mental condition of all the researchers.
Whether he gets punished or not is one thing, whether he gets to work is another. Even if he's punished to death tonight, he still has to finish his work now.
However, when Ye Shaoheng met Ye Yuansong's eyes, he subconsciously looked away.
"Ji Chuan, Lin Beiyue, come here." Shi Yin had a green cigarette in her mouth, and the scent of the calming spice filled the room, making some people shiver.
Only Shion could use this amount of cooling spice; they were already chilled enough just from smelling it.
Shi Yin was completely unaware that she had smoked her first cigarette very quickly, finishing it in two sips. She walked ahead and led the two of them directly to the small office on the top floor of the Doomsday Beacon.
Ji Chuan and Lin Beiyue dared not breathe, and their eyes only softened after Shi Yin finished inhaling the second stick of spices.
"Ji Chuan, if you want, pack your things. You don't have to wait a month; you can go to Milica tomorrow." Shi Yin's expression was icy.
"Wait, Sister Yin." Lin Beiyue's expression froze, and she was about to plead for mercy, but Shi Yin gave Lin Beiyue a cold look and spoke again.
“If you want to go, you can go with him.” Shi Yin tapped the table lightly with her knuckles: “I’ll talk to you later, just stay out of the way.”
Lin Beiyue paused, then stood rooted to the spot, too afraid to move.
"No, no, Sister Yin, I didn't want to go to Milica. I was born a citizen of Yanlong Kingdom, and I will die a ghost of Yanlong Kingdom." Ji Chuan's face was pale: "I returned this time to protect this place."
"Did I give the order?" Shi Yin countered, "What is the first rule of the Shadow Squad's doomsday strategy?"
"...Upon seeing anyone in danger, without orders, one must not leave one's post and abandon one's responsibility to rescue them, even if the person dies in front of one's eyes." Ji Chuan recited softly.
Clearly, they were already very familiar with the rules in these manuals.
“But I want to protect the Commander-in-Chief and the Major General…” Ji Chuan lowered his head: “Master said that someone will sacrifice themselves in this operation, and they are very important people to you. I don’t want to make the Boss sad…”
"Whether it's important or not, does he get to decide?" Shi Yin slammed her hand on the table, startling the person in front of her. "Do you get to decide?"
Ji Chuan immediately lowered his head and dared not speak again.
"Do you know the consequences of what you've caused this time?" Shi Yin frowned. "You and Agarai are indeed emotional ability users, but you need to figure out first whether you are controlling your emotions or your emotions are controlling you."
"This time, the person who should have possessed the virtue of sacrifice can obtain the World Imprint. The sword of sacrifice he condensed can protect the entire capital. You have successfully deprived the Flame Dragon Kingdom of its trump card."
"In other words, the capital will suffer one-third more casualties than normal, and may even lose its ability to cope with sudden major events."
