Chapter 130: Breaking In
Chapter 130: Breaking In
An unimaginable shock filled the air. Looking down from the sky, vehicles moved continuously like ants, and countless construction machines were operating. The entire construction site, covering thousands of square kilometers, started work almost simultaneously. This created countless high-rise buildings, forming a miracle in the history of architecture.
No wonder the movie 2012 entrusted the task of building the Noah’s Ark to the mainland. This was actually a tacit admission of the hardworking spirit of the Huaxia people.
Zhou Liming had to sigh with emotion; in this regard, the Huaxia people had indeed left every other nation in the world far behind. Starting work on thousands of square kilometers at the same time required at least over a million workers. To be able to mobilize such massive man power and resources during the Fierce Beast Era, what other country besides the mainland could accomplish this?
The shocking scene diluted some of Zhou Lidan’s anger.
Since the New Capital was still under construction, the family members of the high-ranking leaders undergoing strategic relocation could not live there. Of course, their destination was not a secret; it was right in the nearby Akesai Hazakh County, which was currently the very center of the Grand Rear.
The New Capital was only a dozen or so kilometers away from Akesai Hazakh County. In the plan, Akesai Hazakh County would exist as a satellite city for the capital. Since the construction of the New Capital required massive manpower and resources, the renovation plan for Akesai Hazakh County would be carried out later.
A distance of over ten kilometers, in Zhou Liming’s view, could hardly be considered a distance at all.
Akesai Hazakh County was not large, situated within a narrow and long valley. As a settlement for the families of high-ranking officials, the defensive strength here was not much weaker than that of the Temporary Capital, Yu City A. A large number of deployed air defense missiles surrounded the entire Akesai Hazakh County. Two entire elite divisions were stationed here, and the connected military camps made the whole county appear a size larger.
On the constructed temporary airfield, a dozen Fighter Jets were parked, with five large passenger planes beside them.
Zhou Liming’s appearance immediately put the entire Akesai Hazakh County on high alert. After being detected by radar, the dozen or so Fighter Jets on the airfield took off immediately.
But Zhou Liming’s speed was too fast; a dozen kilometers could be covered in the blink of an eye. He hovered in the air above Akesai Hazakh County, looking down at the large number of soldiers pouring out below. Missile launch vehicles locked onto Zhou Liming one by one. Anti-aircraft guns, under the control of their operators, formed a web of firepower covering Zhou Liming.
Three Super Warriors possessing Flying Fierce Beast genes shot up into the sky from Akesai Hazakh County, blocking Zhou Liming’s path.
“This is a military restricted zone. Any unauthorized units will be treated as intruders.”
A dark-skinned man blocked Zhou Liming’s path. His gently flapping wings were different from Zhou Liming’s Demon Wings; they were covered in feathers, snow-white and looking like the wings of an angel. The military rank on his uniform indicated his status as a Colonel, and the badge on his chest bore the two characters ‘Fengxing’.
Although Zhou Liming was not wearing a jacket, his black vest also displayed his military rank and badge. The letter ‘X’ shimmered in the sunlight.
Seemingly noticing the badge on Zhou Liming’s chest, the other man frowned and said, “Are you from Team X?” Just thinking of Team X made him feel that Zhou Liming’s face was very familiar, and he immediately realized Zhou Liming’s identity. A cold sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. “So it’s our great hero. I wonder why you aren’t in Xiang City A, but have come to the Grand Rear instead?”
As Zhao Zheming had said, Zhou Liming was indeed called the Number One of the Super Warriors. Perhaps only the members of Team X accepted this, while members of other squadrons were naturally full of disdain. Now seeing Zhou Liming in person, this man did not show the enthusiasm one might imagine, but instead mocked him.
“Fengxing Squadron?” Zhou Liming sneered and shook his head. “Never heard of it. And who are you supposed to be?”
The leader laughed loudly, while someone next to him made clicking sounds, looking at Zhou Liming as if he were a monster, and said, “You’ve actually never heard of the Fengxing Squadron?” His tone was filled with anger. Just think about it, would a squadron sent by the higher-ups to protect the families of key figures be comparable to an ordinary squadron? “You don’t even know our Captain Li Fengxing, and you still call yourself a Super Warrior?”
Zhou Liming didn’t want to waste words with them. He waved his hand and said, “I just want to go down and confirm something, and I’ll leave immediately after I’m done.”
Li Fengxing’s name was indeed flashy. Would someone who could name their own squadron be a simple person? He laughed and said, “Do you think the place below is somewhere you can just come and go as you please? If you want to go down, show me the military approval documents. You think you can just enter and leave as you wish? But if you don’t have them, leave now, and we’ll pretend we didn’t see anything.”
A cold glint flashed in Zhou Liming’s eyes, and he said coldly, “So you mean you won’t let me go down?”
“The responsibility of our Fengxing Squadron is to protect the safety of Akesai Hazakh. If you want to go down, you’ll have to step over our dead bodies.” Li Fengxing stood proudly with his arms crossed, hovering in front of Zhou Liming. He made a hand signal, and the two people beside him separated, surrounding Zhou Liming in a triangle formation. “I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise, once the charges are confirmed, you will be a criminal of the nation.”
The anger that Zhou Liming had just suppressed flared up again, and he growled in a low voice, “In that case, don’t blame me for being rude.”
The current Zhou Liming no longer cared about being a criminal of the nation. Since he was here, he had to find out if Dean Zhou was here. Let alone Li Fengxing and the others, even if a god stood in his way, he would kill the god. Nothing could stop him.
Li Fengxing raised an eyebrow, extended his hand, and his fingers transformed into sharp claws, staring coldly at Zhou Liming.
“Heh!” Zhou Liming laughed. Bone Spurs appeared on the back of his hand, and he laughed with a voice that made one’s hair stand on end.
“Zhou Liming, you’d better think this through. It’s not too late to turn back now. Once you make a move, there will be no turning back.” Li Fengxing issued a final warning. Although he was arrogant, he knew that for someone to be called the Number One among Super Warriors, they couldn’t lack ability, or how could they have become Number One? Although he was unconvinced, he didn’t want a conflict here. Being able to spar on the training ground was his ultimate goal.
Zhou Liming also issued his final warning: “I’m telling you too, no one can stop my determination. Those who stand in my way will only die.”
Seeing Zhou Liming’s arrogant attitude, the two members of the Fengxing Squadron who had followed Li Fengxing up were provoked. One of them flapped his wings and pounced directly at Zhou Liming. For them, even if they killed Zhou Liming, they would bear no responsibility, as this was their duty. But Zhou Liming was different; he was now committing a crime and would have a psychological burden.
“Looking for death!” Zhou Liming was furious seeing the other party attack. His muscles suddenly contracted, and with terrifying explosive power, he used Instantaneous Shift. In an instant, he appeared in front of this person, grabbed his neck, and then roared, lifting him up entirely and smashing him straight toward the ground.
With a “boom,” displaying Zhou Liming’s immense strength, the man plummeted like a cannonball, smashing viciously onto a building below. He smashed through several floors before coming to a stop. The entire building raised a large cloud of dust, and a deep hole smashed into it made it impossible to see the situation inside clearly.
Screams came from below as the people inside the building ran out in terror, screaming in the streets.
With the terrifying speed and terrifying power combined perfectly, Li Fengxing hadn’t even realized what happened before his teammate was sent flying by Zhou Liming’s single strike.
“I told you, you are looking for death.” Zhou Liming stood proudly in the air.
Li Fengxing had previously served as an instructor in a certain Special Forces unit, and his personal ability had reached the limit of a human. After being transformed into a Super Warrior, he became even more powerful. With his exquisitely refined combat skills combined with the powerful strength of a Super Warrior, no one who fought him could last three minutes. This was the reason for his confidence. He didn’t believe that Zhou Liming, who came from a wild background, could be his opponent in hand-to-hand combat.
He didn’t say a word, flapped his wings, and pounced quickly.
Honestly speaking, Zhou Liming had plenty of experience fighting Fierce Beasts, but very little experience fighting other Super Warriors. In Team X, there were many people to spar with, but it was just sparring, not a fight to the death. But the battle with Li Fengxing was different; it was a life-and-death struggle. A single slip would mean injury at the very least.
But Zhou Liming had his own advantages. Only he truly understood to what extent the power latent within him reached.
Li Fengxing, as a combat instructor, had strength far exceeding Zhou Liming’s in terms of technique. But one could not ignore that for Super Warriors, when there was a difference in level between the two sides, even the most brilliant combat skills would lose their effect. It was like an armored car trying to destroy a main battle tank. The coaxial machine gun equipped on it could not penetrate the side armor, let alone the frontal armor, so there was no way it could destroy the tank.
In the current situation, Zhou Liming considered himself a main battle tank. Li Fengxing? He didn’t even qualify as an armored car.
Zhou Liming just hovered quietly in the air. Li Fengxing’s flight speed was not weak; with a dash, he was already close to Zhou Liming. The claws in his hand flashed with a cold light in the air, swiping across Zhou Liming’s neck. Then, as they passed each other, he pulled away and hovered behind Zhou Liming.
The attack just now could be said to be as fast as lightning. With the sharpness of his claws, Li Fenging had reason to believe that Zhou Liming’s neck must have been severed by him.
“What Number One Super Warrior, what a joke. He’s just hyped up by the God-Making Movement. Does he really think he’s the number one master among Super Warriors?” Li Fengxing was somewhat disdainful, and he spat heavily. In his eyes, Zhou Liming was just an ignorant kid who didn’t know his own limits.
