“Chairman’s call?” Li Yao’s face also changed.
Although he was a top figure in the ranks of War Gods, compared to the supreme leader of the HR Alliance, they were not even in the same league.
The Chairman? He was the emperor of the underworld!
“Come here,” Veinna immediately dragged Li Yao to a distant corner and whispered seriously, “The Chairman called earlier, warning us not to touch Luo Feng’s family. If anything happens… our Bolenas family will face sanctions from the entire alliance!”
“What?” Li Yao frowned, “Impossible. Your Bolenas family is also one of the core families. Although he is the honorable Chairman, to impose sanctions on a core family across the entire alliance, he must go through a collective vote in the underground parliament before making such a decision. He doesn’t have that much authority with just one word.”
Veinna whispered, “It means the Chairman believes that if the parliament is convened, this decision will definitely be passed.”
Li Yao was shocked.
He understood now…
In the world, probably only the two peerless experts, Hong and Thunder God, could shake the entire HR Alliance with just one word. And someone standing up for Luo Feng, it must be Hong!
“Damn it!”
“Lucky bastard.” Li Yao cursed under his breath. He wanted to cut Luo Feng into pieces, originally planning to wipe out Luo Feng’s entire family to vent his hatred. But now, clearly, after Hong’s intervention, without Hong even needing to send anyone, the HR Alliance would probably send people to protect Luo Feng’s family on their own.
He, Li Yao, couldn’t send anyone now.
“Hmph, since Grand Curator Hong has intervened, we’ll spare his family.” Li Yao snorted coldly, “Hong knows about this but didn’t stop me from going after Luo Feng himself… probably, he wants to use my hand to test Luo Feng a bit.” Being in a high position, Li Yao could easily guess Hong’s intentions.
“Test? Hmph, if the test fails, it means Luo Feng’s death.”
Li Yao’s eyes turned icy. “Veinna, you stay in the Paris base city. We’ll keep in touch by phone.”
“Okay,” Veinna nodded as well.
…
On the passenger aircraft.
This flight departed at 11:45 a.m., leaving the Paris base city bound for the Australian continent. The entire aircraft carried about sixty passengers. These nearly sixty individuals were all personnel Li Yao had brought to the Australian continent, including some specially tasked with installing and operating laser cannons.
“What, Mr. Li, this is a laser cannon?” A yellow-skinned man beside him was greatly surprised.
“Oh my God.”
Two other white men were also stunned.
“Laser cannons are forbidden weapons,” one of the bearded white men immediately said. “The Earth Alliance strictly prohibits the smuggling of laser cannons and nuclear bombs.”
“Even if it’s prohibited, there are still people transporting them.”
Li Yao didn’t care. “Every year, from America and Europe, there are still laser cannons and nuclear bombs transported to some weaker base cities! The Earth Alliance turns a blind eye. Besides, the Earth Alliance itself is a coalition of five major powers, with all the power in their hands. The Earth Alliance is just a puppet.”
The three War God-level experts beside him couldn’t help but laugh.
Laser cannons (laser guns) and nuclear bombs were considered the two ultimate weapons of human society!
Nuclear bombs had a wide attack range and great power, but the downside was nuclear radiation, which could easily cause mutations in monsters.
Laser cannons were single-target attacks, known as ‘death rays,’ and were currently the favorite weapons of humans.
“Mr. Li, you’ve got resources. I admire you,” the yellow-skinned man chuckled. “I wonder if I could buy this laser cannon from you. Do you have a way to get one?”
“No way,” Li Yao immediately shook his head. “After I use this laser cannon, I have to return it immediately! If it’s missing for too long, it might be discovered, and then we’ll have big trouble. What… Bei Yu Gang, your Japanese should have ways to get laser cannons, right?”
Japan was an economic superpower before the Great Nirvana era.
Unfortunately, it was an island nation. Moreover, because they had hunted sharks and other large fish excessively before the Great Nirvana era, during the Great Nirvana period… monsters mutated, and sharks and other large fish mutated into extremely powerful creatures. There were even many lord-level sea monsters and even king-level monsters! Lord-level and king-level monsters already possessed intelligence comparable to humans.
So they sought revenge!
They gathered massive armies to attack the Japanese islands!
The island nation’s defense was already difficult. Facing the endless monsters from the ocean breaking through rivers into inland areas, combined with aerial attacks from flying beasts, and even the arrival of king-level monsters…
Japan could only struggle desperately but couldn’t resist. All citizens could only try to escape!
Because at the beginning of the Great Nirvana, the mutation level of monsters wasn’t too high. Many powerful and influential figures managed to escape then. Although the country eventually had only a few million people left, after decades of recovery, the Japanese now were considered a small ethnic group globally.
“The channels are too expensive,” Bei Yu Gang said seriously. “If Mr. Li can help me get a laser cannon, I’m willing to pay twenty times its cost!”
“Twenty times?” Li Yao raised his eyebrows.
Laser cannons were expensive by themselves, and their special nature made them unattainable even with money.
“I want it, but I can’t afford it.”
…
The passenger aircraft entered the Australian continent’s airspace.
Li Yao, however, left the cabin alone and went to the restroom.
“Hey, Veinna,” Li Yao contacted Veinna. “Where is Luo Feng now?”
The HR Alliance could confirm a warrior’s location through a communication watch.
“I can’t confirm,” came Veinna’s slightly anxious voice through the communication watch. “I’m thinking of other ways.”
“How can’t you confirm?” Li Yao’s expression changed.
The HR Alliance could confirm locations through communication watches.
Back then…
They had searched for many warriors’ information around the body of Li Wei.
“His communication watch shows he’s at the Elite Training Camp!” Veinna’s voice was also anxious on the other end.
“Elite Training Camp? No, he’s in the Australian continent,” Li Yao was puzzled.
“Of course not right. This indicates one thing… Luo Feng has changed his communication watch!” The voice through the communication watch was very low. “His previous communication watch was left at the training camp. As for the one he’s currently using, it’s not recorded within the HR Alliance!”
This was indeed the case.
Before August 1st, Luo Feng’s battle power reached 12, and he received a huge reward, which included a complete set of combat suits, weapons, and many small gadgets like telescopes and communication watches. The new communication watch Luo Feng changed to was specially made by the Limit Martial Arts Gym, available only to high-level personnel.
Since it wasn’t manufactured by the HR Alliance, naturally there were no vulnerabilities, and it wasn’t recorded in the HR Alliance.
“The communication watch Luo Feng is using should be the Limit Martial Arts Gym’s special model, which we can’t track,” Veinna explained.
“Then what should we do?” Li Yao became anxious.
Without knowing Luo Feng’s location, finding one person in the vast Australian continent would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“There’s only one way now: call Luo Feng’s communication watch! Once the call goes through, we can track his location.” Veinna said. This function was very common, even ordinary mobile phones had it. As long as you dialed the other party’s number, even if they didn’t answer, the signal connection could still determine the location.
“Then call him,” Li Yao urged.
“But— I haven’t found out his new communication watch’s phone number yet,” Veinna said helplessly.
How could you call someone without knowing their number?
Actually, Luo Feng had just received his new communication watch before August 1st. The people who knew the number were only some trainees in the Chinese faction at the training camp who were close to Luo Feng.
“Find it out, you must find his number,” Li Yao became anxious.
“He just changed his communication watch, so very few people know his number. Probably only some of his friends at the training camp and the management department of the Elite Training Camp have the contact information,” Veinna said helplessly. “But I can’t infiltrate the internal departments of the Limit Martial Arts Gym.”
“Hurry up, check. The plane is about to land. We can’t possibly carry all these boxes and fight against monsters? If we encounter a monster swarm, even a slight damage to the laser cannons’ precise equipment might ruin the entire instrument,” Li Yao was anxious. “Confirm Luo Feng’s location as soon as possible!”
“Okay, I’ll have Candice try again.”
After hanging up the phone.
Li Yao returned to the cabin, where the others were quite relaxed.
“Klein,” Li Yao asked a middle-aged white man, “if we have to carry these boxes for hundreds of miles and then assemble them, will there be any problems?”
Klein replied respectfully, “Mr. Li, although each component in the boxes is well protected and won’t be affected by general impacts, this is still a precision optical weapon. If any component is damaged, it might cause the entire laser cannon to malfunction, so we can’t take this risk.”
Li Yao couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
He was anxious!
“What’s the range of this laser cannon?” he asked again.
“Discussing range is unscientific,” Klein said seriously. “Although the laser cannon is an ultimate weapon, it also has its weaknesses… First, it travels in a straight line! But the Earth is a sphere, so the Earth’s surface isn’t absolutely flat; it’s a curved surface!”
“If the target is a bit far away, we can’t see it from the ground, so naturally the laser cannon can’t hit it!”
“So the laser cannon must be set up at a high place to achieve a longer range!”
“Of course, if the target is a mentalist flying at high altitude, allowing us to spot him from a distance with no obstacles along the straight line distance, then we can instantly kill him,” Klein smiled. “There’s no doubt about the power of the laser cannon. The current challenge is to make him fly to a high altitude.”
“If he’s on the ground, as long as the distance is a bit far, we can’t attack him,” Klein said. “Also, pay attention to the weather. If there is heavy fog, heavy rain, or other conditions, we can’t attack either.”
“The laser cannon is concentrated light, and particles in heavy rain or fog will cause the light to refract, greatly weakening the laser cannon’s power.”
“So…”
“The laser cannon must be set up at a high point near the target! Only then can we have a better chance to kill the target.” Klein said.
Li Yao nodded.
He knew that too… but now without knowing Luo Feng’s location, how could the plane land?
