Chapter 160: Satellite Surveillance Power
Terrifying air currents stirred up a cloud of dust the instant Zhou Liming swooped past. Before the dust could settle, Zhou Liming had already vanished into the distance.
Flying at ultra-low altitudes and such super speeds was no different from seeking death. For fighter jets, altitudes below fifty meters were in a no-fly zone, and no pilot dared to drive a fighter jet at such distances. After all, fighter jets had to maintain a certain speed to avoid crashing down. This minimum flight speed was still incredibly fast. In a low-altitude environment full of mountains and buildings, a sudden emergency would never leave the pilot enough reaction time.
However, Zhou Liming’s flight speed had already decreased, yet it still exceeded one thousand five hundred kilometers per hour, a speed beyond human reaction capabilities.
Zhou Liming let out an excited scream, his whole body trembling. His eyes did not dare to relax for a second as he stared ahead, flying close to the ground. The thrill, under the absolute speed, felt like it was detonating every cell in his body. Zhou Liming could no longer describe this feeling; he began to enjoy this speed.
Every man has a dream of speed. Just like driving, who could resist the temptation of that wind-blown, lightning-fast thrill?
Zhou Liming streaked across the ground like a cannonball. The sharp whistle caused by his too-fast flight and the sweeping air currents created a giant dragon of dust. Zhou Liming’s speed was too fast; often, by the time the dust he rolled up began to fly, he had already flown nearly a kilometer away.
Bullhorn Fish also let out a “ling” sound. Like Zhou Liming, it flew close to the ground.
It flew slightly offset from Zhou Liming, naturally forming two rolling giants on the ground. Its body was larger than Zhou Liming’s, and the giant dragon it rolled up had even more majestic momentum. The place where Bullhorn Fish passed was simply a disaster. The power ful air currents were secondary. The key was its water ripple innate ability. Every place it passed through was surrounded by water ripples. Under the absolute low temperature, trees, water, buildings, stones, mountains… all turned into ice sculptures.
Under the powerful air currents, these ice sculptures shattered directly, then were swept up by the currents to form a gleaming white giant dragon, which stood in sharp contrast to the yellow giant dragon rolled up by Zhou Liming. It was as if two giant dragons were rolling on the ground, alternating and flying toward the distance.
In the Grand Rear, the satellite monitoring center that controlled the monitoring of national military satellites was one of the busiest institutions.
Their duties were simple. Divided into several departments, they were responsible for satellite reconnaissance missions domestically and abroad. Regarding foreign countries, they needed to understand the latest dynamics of other nations and the distribution changes of fierce beasts. Regarding domestic areas, they needed to monitor every move along the coast, ensuring that every detail of fierce beast activity was understood, while also paying attention to every tiny change on the Frontline.
It could be said that the existence of spy satellites could put half of the coastal area into a real-time monitoring state.
Especially along the coastline, which was an area of particular attention for spy satellites. From various signs, it could be confirmed that the activity areas of high-level fierce beasts were mostly here. Moreover, the landing of fierce beasts also began from the coastline. As long as this area was closely monitored, first-hand information about the landing of fierce beasts could be obtained.
As a satellite observer, the work seemed simple, but in fact, it was deceptively simple. One had to constantly stare at the images returned by the satellites to ensure no anomaly was missed.
Song Ninghai had served as a satellite observer for several years. From the passion of the past to his current laziness, he sometimes even used his power to adjust the satellite angle to engage in some peeping activities. Do not underestimate spy satellites; their technical capabilities allowed people to read the text on a poster stuck on a street through the satellite. It was simply the most powerful peeping tool in the world.
Furthermore, staring at the screen all the time, anyone would not be able to endure it. Slacking off was inevitable.
But now, Song Ninghai had no time to drink the freshly brewed coffee. He stared tightly at the screen, constantly adjusting the satellite camera angle, zooming in on the image, and then screamed, “Damn it.” He pressed the emergency button beside him and roared, “Abnormality detected.”
Soon, two giant dragons, one white and one yellow, appeared on the huge LCD screen of the satellite control center.
Nearly a hundred workers in the satellite control center stopped their work almost in unison, staring blankly at the screen. They saw these two giant dragons, one white and one yellow, which were fully five or six kilometers long, charging forward continuously. The places they passed, especially where the white dragon passed, almost all became brightly lit.
Major General Jiao Zuoming in the control center also realized the importance of this anomaly. It could be said to be the greatest discovery he had made since serving as the director of the control center.
“Dispatch Satellite G-33 to replace Satellite I-17.”
With this simple command, the G-33 spy satellite, which was several grades more advanced than I-17, immediately replaced I-17 to take over the image. The image, which had been somewhat unclear just now, instantly became clear, and the focal length became shorter. Soon, the two giant dragons were enlarged and appeared on the screen.
The yellow giant dragon was composed of countless leaves, small gravel, and dust. They danced inside, and the powerful air currents kept them from falling for a long time.
The white dragon made everyone’s breathing become heavy because, through the image, it could be seen that what was flying were all chunks of ice shards. With further analysis, the results shocked everyone. These were basically plants that had been turned into ice sculptures by ultra-low temperatures and then shattered. From the broken ends of some specimens, traces of their identity as plants could be seen.
The image soon found the source of the one white and one yellow giant dragons. When Bullhorn Fish, surrounded by water ripples, appeared before everyone, everyone sucked in a breath sharply. According to their records, this was absolutely a fierce beast that had never been recorded before: grade unknown, abilities unknown, form unknown…
Even more terrifying was that its speed was too fast. Flying at ultra-low altitude, it was still very difficult for satellites to capture its trajectory. The too-fast speed made the image almost a blur. Everything seen became a backward shadow. To see clearly, one had to use the photography function to record it first, then use the analysis system to enlarge the captured image to see the appearance of Bullhorn Fish.
“So perverted.”
This was the sentence uttered by everyone after seeing the photo analyzed by the analysis system. Because from the picture, it could be seen that under the water ripple wave, any object touched, whether it was a plant, a rock peak, or a building, was instantly turned into an ice sculpture. Then, amidst the howling powerful air currents, these ice sculptures were shattered and swept into the giant dragon. The ice fragments seen just now were undoubtedly from this.
With the switch of the image, the source of the other yellow dragon was finally found. A few seconds later, the captured picture, after being analyzed and processed, appeared on the screen.
A wave of exclamations arose. Jiao Zuoming’s brows knitted into a ball. “What fierce beast is this again?”
Zhou Liming had now entered his complete Fierce Beast Form. Coupled with the satellite reconnaissance and the straight vertical descent from high altitude, only his back could be seen. Zhou Liming’s back had a pair of wings flapping at an ultra-fast frequency. His back was covered with dark blue scales. A tail, due to high-speed flight, trailed behind like a Flying Dragon, rising and falling occasionally.
From this angle, Zhou Liming’s face could not be seen at all.
In the Fierce Beast Era, humans had long been used to various bizarrely shaped fierce beasts. Any kind of strange fierce beast had records in the Fierce Beast archives.
None of the people present realized Zhou Liming’s identity. After all, this flight speed far exceeded human understanding of Super Warriors. In their data, the highest flight speed of a Super Warrior was between six hundred and eight hundred kilometers per hour, equivalent to the speed of a civilian passenger plane.
Therefore, in the eyes of the satellite control center, Zhou Liming was merely a Fierce Beast.
A large amount of data transmitted back from the satellites made everyone’s hearts race because these two Fierce Beasts were flying so close to the ground. If they were at high altitudes, how fast would they be?
In just a moment, Jiao Zuoming realized that the most powerful Fierce Beast in the current series of Fierce Beast monitoring had finally made its appearance. At this moment, Jiao Zuoming did not know whether to be excited or afraid. Discovering these two Fierce Beasts would surely earn merit, but powerful Fierce Beasts were completely contrary to the national interest. Their appearance was a very dangerous signal.
Since the country could monitor foreign nations, it was impossible that foreign nations did not monitor the continent. Therefore, just a few minutes later, the United States and Russia finally discovered the spectacular scene created by Zhou Liming and Bullhorn Fish. Compared to the continent, their satellite technology was more advanced, and their capture capabilities were stronger.
“Oh, God, come look at what this is?”
The intelligence agency of the United States also captured this abnormal phenomenon, causing a stir throughout the entire intelligence agency.
Only those who had witnessed the commotion caused by Bullhorn Fish would know how terrifying Bullhorn Fish was, especially its main body, the water ripple. The slowly rotating water ripple, resembling a galaxy, yet capable of creating ultra-low temperatures, made people feel terrified. Just thinking of it in the direction of attacking humans made everyone sweat on their foreheads.
Faced with these two Fierce Beasts about which all data was unknown, even humans, who were gradually equipping themselves with Electromagnetic Cannons, still felt tremors in their hearts.
If the Electromagnetic Cannon could not penetrate its defense layer… As they swept past, they would instantly freeze the entire city, turning it into a city of ice. Everything and everyone inside would instantly turn into ice sculptures, finally melting together under the sunlight until a dead silence prevailed.
