Chapter 239: Scheming Against Japan (I)
In the command center, the highest-ranking officer of the army of tens of thousands, a middle-aged bald white man, still had a serious expression on his face after receiving the report that the stone golem had been killed.
The white man, Andrew, was not an ordinary soldier or officer. He knew the unique ability of the stone golems, which were living creatures from the otherworld.
To put it simply, the stone golems were living beings created after the stones gained sentience. They had a core of consciousness, and this core was the key. As long as the core was not destroyed, it was only a matter of time before they could reform and recover.
“Fire another round.”
Andrew picked up the walkie-talkie and gave the order to the missile unit officer.
Immediately after, he picked up the phone and contacted the higher-ups in the Western Australia capital.
From its size, this stone golem’s level was equivalent to the peak of the human warrior realm. At the same time, the creatures from the otherworld were often half a level stronger than humans of the same level.
Therefore, the level of this stone golem was probably between the peak of the human warrior realm and the master realm.
However, the radiation-based internal force of a mutant stone golem was equivalent to nuclear radiation. Its strength was closely related to the level of the internal force.
Therefore, regardless of whether this mutant stone golem was seriously injured or dead, its corpse needed to be dealt with by humans of the same level.
At this moment, the missile troops who had received the order to attack were immediately brought down from their previous high.
At the officer’s urging, the soldiers quickly reloaded their weapons. The missile trucks made another firing motion.
Not long after, hundreds of missiles flew into the sky again and shot straight at the scattered pieces of the corpse of the stone golem.
…
At the parliament in Canberra, the capital of Western Australia, after receiving Andrew’s report, the entire meeting room was in chaos.
“Mr. President, we shouldn’t have taken the initiative to attack that mutant stone golem. Regardless of the outcome, it won’t do Western Australia any good,” Secretary of Defense Smith slapped the table and said loudly.
“The Defense Minister has a point. From the actions of the radiation dragon, the nuclear power plant is undoubtedly being treated as food. On the other hand, Western Australia is rich in natural energy and is a completely nuclear-free country.
For the otherworld creatures that have mutated due to the nuclear waste, even if we can stop one, we can’t stop them all. Therefore, this problem shouldn’t be dealt with by Western Australia.”
Prime Minister Albert stood up and almost shouted.
“Isn’t that so? Even if we pursue the issue of the disposal of the nuclear waste, it doesn’t even belong to Western Australia…”
A member of the House of Representatives expressed their dissatisfaction.
As for the serious consequences from discarding nuclear waste in the otherworld, it currently seemed that Western Australia was at a disadvantage. The other Western countries had only sent some martial arts experts to the otherworld to try to resolve the issue.
However, from the looks of it, the issue had not been completely resolved.
The entrance to the space-travel passage was on Western Australia’s territory. If a war really broke out with the creatures from the otherworld, Western Australia would probably become a battlefield.
“You’re right. I’m afraid the situation will get worse soon.
I suggest that we abandon the space-travel passage and move all the people in the eastern cities to the western cities.
Let’s vote on it.”
President Bill lowered his hand and sighed.
The parliament was in an uproar. They did not expect the president to be more ruthless than everyone else. Many of the parliament members who were leaning towards the large Western countries were sweating profusely.
As a nuclear-free country, Western Australia did have the right to leave things as they were.
In any case, the mutated creatures from the otherworld were chasing the residual nuclear radiation into the blue planet. Their main targets were also the large countries with nuclear power plants, such as the Sam Nation, Russia, the Daxia Kingdom, the Never-ending Day Empire, and so on.
While the voting was going on, the second round of missiles swooped down from the sky.
Around the space-travel passage, the dozens of huge rocks that the stone man had split into shone with a black and yellow light. They were much weaker than before.
“Rumble…”
Hundreds of missiles exploded at almost the same time.
In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and layers of smoke rose continuously, covering the area within a kilometer of the explosion.
The missile troops dozens of kilometers away fell silent. They could only wait for the smoke to dissipate to find out the outcome.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
The phone in the command center rang.
The highest-ranking officer of the missile team, Andrew, immediately picked up the phone.
“Evacuate immediately.”
The president’s order came over the line.
“Yes.”
Andrew did not question it at all. After putting down the phone, he passed on the order to the officers below.
In less than 10 minutes, the entire missile team started to move towards the cities further away from the space-travel passage.
At the same time, at the entrance of the space-travel passage, dozens of broken pieces of stone from the stone golem had remained unharmed and were emitting a black and yellow glow.
Special creatures like the stone golems had powerful defenses to begin with. Even though it had been severely injured due to its carelessness, as long as it was prepared, the lethality of a weapon like a missile was still insufficient to kill it. Even if the opponent relied on numbers, it would not be enough.
Other than that, all the broken pieces moved on their own and gathered together.
This was the stone golem’s self-recovery ability. As long as the core was not destroyed, it could slowly absorb the power of the earth to revive.
…
The next day.
The efficiency of the Daxia Kingdom was the highest on the blue planet. Even if it was a dangerous and complicated nuclear power plant, they were still able to demolish all the core portions in just one day and one night.
Chen Yiming didn’t need to continue guarding the remaining portion of the nuclear power plant.
He settled the matter of the reward for his contribution, which was a total of 200 points, with the head of the security bureau, Xie Jimin, and returned to Jiangnan City.
The missions offered by the security bureau for consultants were divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. The contribution points awarded were 10,000, 1,000, 100, 100, and 10 points respectively.
However, the level of the mission was not fixed. For example, if there was a surprise attack on the River Bay nuclear power plant by the radioactive dragon, the level of the mission would have immediately increased from B to S.
“A few days have passed, but the guardians of Jiangnan City still haven’t given a definite answer.”
Chen Yiming strolled along the street.
The method to break through to the master realm was undoubtedly extremely precious. His idea of getting on the bus first and getting a ticket later seemed to have failed.
“I originally wanted to fix my gaze on the moon, but the moon shines on a ditch. It’s very likely that they want to use this to bait me into doing something for the security bureau.”
Chen Yiming frowned and sighed.
The method to break through to the master realm might be the best reward that Jiangnan City could offer. However, if they gave it away so easily, they would not be able to do anything if he escaped from his responsibilities.
He knew that he would not go back on his word, but others would not trust him completely.
“Previously, I had acted too proactively which might have had the opposite effect. Now, I can either rely on myself to think of another way or show my strength that exceeds what Jiangnan province can deal with,” Chen Yiming thought to himself.
The best way was to have a suitable enemy appear, then he could use his Sword Aura to achieve a brilliant result. Otherwise, just cutting through the cliffs to show off his strength would not be convincing enough.
After all, that strike only had a wide range of attack and had not been proven in actual combat. It was impossible to determine if there was any trickery involved.
