At the ground-level palace, Self-Defense Force soldiers continued their diligent patrols and vigilance.
They were completely unaware that their base was about to suffer a devastating blow.
The satellite's self-destruct countdown perfectly coincided with the countdown of the underground base bomb, and in just 6 minutes, a "dual explosion" would take place.
At this moment, the culprit, Liu Kai, had already quietly left the Japanese Imperial Palace.
They crossed the moat and hid in a neighborhood of high-rise buildings.
He did not immediately release the stolen military off-road vehicle.
Instead, he leisurely lit a cigarette and stared at the countdown on his watch.
3 minutes... 1 minute... 10 seconds... 1 second!
A ray of dawn gradually appeared in the distant east.
Just then, Liu Kai keenly sensed that the ground began to tremble slightly.
He knew that the bomb in the underground base of the Japanese Imperial Palace had exploded.
Because it was buried deep underground, it made no sound, and even the vibrations did not travel very far.
But at this time, the Japanese Imperial Palace presented a completely different scene.
Because the supporting columns of the underground base were destroyed, they could no longer support the base and the thick soil above it.
The entire palace floor began to collapse mysteriously after a violent tremor.
Many Self-Defense Force soldiers who were on patrol were caught off guard and had no time to react.
The ice beneath their feet cracked layer by layer with a series of "crack" sounds.
Then, the ice shards, mixed with mud, collapsed into the unfathomable depths of the earth like a whirlpool in the sea.
Even the ubiquitous green trees could not stand proudly; their canopies trembled wildly as they fell one after another.
Those who couldn't avoid it could only fall helplessly with terrified expressions as they sank into the mud and ice.
Finally, amidst a series of piercing screams, he was buried alive in the ground.
Even those buildings with a distinctly Japanese style were not spared; sparks from torn power lines erupted one after another.
If you were to look down on the Japanese Imperial Palace from above at this moment.
You will find that there is a huge crater, as if it had been hit by a meteorite, like a dormant volcano.
Liu Kai, far away, was too lazy to care about the tragic state of the palace.
He simply raised his head as if sensing something and looked up at the sky.
Even though thick clouds obscured the view, one could still vaguely see "starlight" twinkling in the sky beyond the clouds.
Of course, that wasn't real starlight.
It was the firelight from the self-destruction and explosion of a military satellite.
Seeing this, Liu Kai felt relieved.
None of the metal detection satellites that constantly monitor them in the sky have escaped unscathed.
With a wave of his hand, an electric military off-road vehicle appeared on the street ahead.
Three unconscious middle-aged men were sitting in the back of the SUV; they were Ouyang Zhicheng and geological experts from the United States and Russia.
The other experts, who were still in a coma, were placed in a building by him.
It can only ensure they don't freeze to death.
Whether he could escape successfully or be found by their country's rescue team was not Liu Kai's concern.
After all, the plane couldn't fit so many people, so even if he wanted to take them all, he couldn't.
I stubbed out my cigarette and got into the driver's seat, taking a moment to adjust to the different visibility of the right-hand drive car.
The vehicle was started, but the lights were deliberately not turned on.
Liu Kai drove his vehicle unaffected by the darkness, speeding towards the rendezvous point where Ouyang Wenlian was located.
However, when the vehicle arrived near the rendezvous point, Liu Kai discovered something amiss through scanning.
Ouyang Wenlian did not wait on the street as agreed, but instead ran to the roof of the building.
Of course, he didn't go up there voluntarily.
Because he had run out of bullets in his pistol, he left six bodies in the stairwell.
Meanwhile, five Japanese soldiers with guns were hot on his heels.
Ouyang Wenlian was trapped on the rooftop, using an abandoned table to block the stairwell door.
With a serious expression, he drew his dagger from his waist, crouched down, and hid in a secluded corner, ready to ambush the five Japanese soldiers at any moment.
Liu Kai frowned slightly upon seeing this.
Despite proceeding cautiously, Ouyang Wenlian was still exposed.
But he can't be blamed for this.
Without Liu Kai's scanning as a warning, even though Ouyang Wenlian is a special forces soldier skilled in counter-reconnaissance and stealth, it would be impossible to detect him.
Even in Tokyo's main urban area, where there are so many informants, things can easily go wrong.
But soon, Liu Kai smiled.
Because Ouyang Wenlian was preoccupied with fighting the Japanese invaders, he secretly placed the mechanical device for making human skin masks in a hidden corner on the fourth floor.
"Hehe, then I won't be polite!"
With a wicked smile, Liu Kai teleported to the fourth floor and pocketed the human skin mask box with a wave of his hand.
He then teleported back to the car, looking completely unaffected.
He didn't intend to go upstairs to help.
Because he could tell that Ouyang Wenlian was not flustered at all, and had a completely confident expression.
When the last five Japanese soldiers broke through the iron gate to the rooftop and cautiously searched with guns drawn.
Ouyang Wenlian had already quietly circled around to the back of the last Japanese soldier.
A flash of cold light, and a swift, decisive strike to the throat.
He immediately grabbed the rifle violently, flipped over, and darted back into the darkness.
Upon hearing the commotion, the four Japanese soldiers in front immediately turned around and began firing wildly at the spot where Ouyang Wenlian had disappeared.
The piercing gunshots echoed through the night sky, unhindered by any walls.
With the help of cod liver oil, Ouyang Wenlian's eyesight was far superior to that of these scumbags.
They had already reached the rooftop entrance and were aiming at the four Japanese soldiers who were firing aimlessly in the darkness.
Fingers flew across the keyboard, firing rapidly in short bursts.
