Chapter 867: Red Powder Magic Cavern Missile |
The sky turned bright, and more people were walking around Cloud Peak.
The army had recently left, and most of the people guarding Cloud Peak had returned. Only a few management staff were left at the Trading City and Ying City.
Although the two squads headed out secretly, people would obviously find out. If someone took this chance to sneak attack them, that would be a problem. They had to defend even if they had Star Beauty Company’s help.
Sister Rong, Liu Zhenghong, Le Dayuan, and Star Beauty Company’s second-in-command, Jia Zhong, were eating breakfast around a table.
The four of them were management-level people who remained at Cloud Peak.
“Some dark currents have been moving in Ying City. Who knows which faction they are from, but they have been contacting people. I told Shasha to pay attention to them.”
Liu Zhenghong said something and continued to eat slowly.
Chameleon had sent her this news. The founder wasn’t here, and Ye Zhongming, the overall leader, wasn’t here. Thus, Liu Zhenghong took temporary control.
Le Dayuan and Sister Rong were expressionless. They weren’t people that cared about power. The latter was someone who had survived a certain death, so he saw past many things.
Cloud Peak obviously had its own trump cards. Looking at their control of Ying City, Cloud Peak definitely had a strong power n the dark. Those who tried to jump out and cause problems now would end up in a bad state.
Everybody was terrified about how vicious Cloud Peak was to people who betrayed them.
This would be a true wipeout. They would be so cruel that they would rather kill someone wrongly than miss out on someone guilty.
Jia Zhong knew that Boss Ye, who hadn’t been seen in some time, probably knew bits of what was going on. The real people who were executing it were Xia Lei, Liang Chuyin, and Xia Bai. However, he definitely allowed it. So, he wouldn’t underestimate that young man. However, he was even more terrified of these few women who took charge of Cloud Peak.
Sometimes, he wondered if his boss became Boss Ye’s woman, then…
Jia Zhong shook his head so that he stopped thinking about such useless things. He didn’t know whether or not it was good or bad if such a thing actually happened.
“Let’s be more wary in Cloud Peak. The main squad will be back in five to six days.” Sister Rong said.
Although Flame Tiger Operation was risky, it wasn’t much of an issue to her. Cloud Peak seemed empty, but it was actually combined with Ying City. There were a few hundred thousand warriors there.
Le Dayuan thought about his own research and didn’t care much about these things. He wouldn't have come if it weren’t for Liu Zhenghong, who dragged him up from bed.
“En, let’s pay more attention. Jia Zhong, we need more of your help, too.”
Jia Zhong was surprised when he heard Liu Zhenghong say that and immediately agreed. This woman’s position in Cloud Peak was too high. She was probably very highly rated in the entire world. Even if everyone from Cloud Peak and Ying City died, she wouldn’t, as many would fight for her.
This was one of the reasons why he respected Ye Zhongming. How did he get Le Dayuan and Liu Zhenghong? He even made them share the same bed!
After breakfast, the four of them returned to their own spots. But a few steps later, their expressions changed. They looked towards the sky, and a black spot flew towards Cloud Peak.
“Open the air defense!”
Sister Rong shouted, and her voice reverberated in Cloud Peak. The crystal cannons and arrow turrets started to charge. The vans were driven out, and they stopped on the cement slopes, aiming their weapons at the sky. The various shooting holes were opened, and various weapons spread from inside. They aimed at the sky. The ranged job users also found cover, and they looked warily above.
A hole appeared at the tip of Ye Zhongming’s villa. A button sent a shining silver net, enough to cover a quarter of Cloud Peak. The net rose to the position of that black dot before continuing to float there. It then started to spin slowly.
“Sky Spider Defense Net!”
This was a large piece of equipment that Cloud Peak got that was used for air defense.
Although silver equipment wasn’t something that interested him, the large size of it made it different from ordinary equipment.
Large equipment was for many people, or they could cover a large area. Strictly speaking, the Exquisite Floating Ball, Mechanic Fortress, etc., were large pieces of equipment.
Even if their levels were low, they were far more effective than individual pieces of equipment. So, the value of this net was no lower than a green, even a blue piece of equipment.
“What is that?”
Jia Zhong told Star Beauty Company’s warriors to enter battle modes as he looked at that black spot and asked.
This thing wasn’t quick but no one felt like it wasn’t a threat. From so far away, five-star evolved were able to find a terrifying energy fluctuation.
Some bald eagles that often flew nearby fled in terror.
Two of them were level six. Cloud Peak and Ying City couldn’t do much about them, but they feared this!
“Missile?”
Due to her job, Liu Zhenghong’s eyesight was better than others. When she saw clearly what that thing was, she was shocked.
It was indeed in the shape of a missile, but it was too small. There was only one of them. Was it a nuclear weapon? But no nuclear weapon was so small. Moreover, weren’t they ignited at the start of the apocalypse?
As this small missile arrived, everyone got ready to fight.
When it got above Cloud Peak, the net faced it.
They tried to make it explode far from Cloud Peak.
But a weird thing happened. When the missile was about to get close, it changed its route and started to charge upwards. It began to speed up, and the net was caught off guard, unable to keep up with it.
When it reached a certain height, it was right above Cloud Peak. It lost momentum and started to fall towards Cloud Peak.
“Stop it!”
Sister Rong’s voice changed and the net headed for it.
But before both sides clashed, this small missile exploded.
A red mist spread about Cloud Peak to form an obvious cloud that could be seen from far away.
The explosion attracted many people from Ying City, who looked towards Cloud Peak. They were tongue-tied when they looked at the red cloud. They didn’t know what to do.
Moments later, there was a weird fragrance.
In the next second, the entire Ying City shook.
On the far-away ruins, a guy sat there and placed his binoculars down.
“Ye Zhongming, Ye Zhongming, taste my… Red Powder Magic Cavern Missile!”
