Chapter 1680: Trap
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Right here! Go!”
Following Shen Yuhe’s shrill cry, two tracked infantry war chariots were refitted. There were also four heavy-duty vehicles carrying special demolition devices that looked like large speakers. Protected by dozens of corporate warriors in power armor, they rolled forward and pressed against the wall on the east side of the warehouse.
According to their analysis of the construction drawings, the interior of this wall was the intersection point of a large number of pipes and cables. It was also relatively the easiest to break through.
As for the two demolition vehicles with megaphones, they could use the chain reaction of sound waves to trigger the resonance of objects. They could use the high-frequency vibration of tens of thousands of times per second to turn the copper wall into dust.
Seeing the red lights above the wrecking vehicles flashing one by one, the corporate warriors loyal to Shen Yuhe and the others all put on special earmuffs.
!!
When all the red lights were turned on, sound waves, which could not be processed by the human ear but could rip apart the brain, came from the depths of the “big speakers.” They were unstoppable, and they penetrated the reinforced concrete that was more than one meter thick.
In just half a minute, the towering buildings in front of them began to shake violently at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The copper walls and iron walls that could not be broken by even the overwhelming beast horde seemed to be attacked by mysterious and unpredictable magic. The reinforced concrete was instantly turned into gravel and quicksand. Amidst the cracking and shattering sounds, a huge hole more than three meters in diameter was revealed.
Through the hole, one could see boxes of materials piled up in the warehouse, as well as the dumbfounded “freight workers.”
“Shen Yuanbiao is inside. Don’t let him escape!”
Shen Yuhe took the lead, and Shen Yufeng followed closely behind.
Both of them were blinded by their desire for power, and they did not care about their own safety at all.
Shen Chenglie and the others, who had rich combat experience, hesitated for a moment.
However, they knew that this was not the time to be hesitant either.
They exchanged glances, gritted their teeth at the same time, and entered one after another.
Although everyone did not want to fight Shen Yuanbiao in the same room and have both sides suffer heavy losses, they were also prepared for the other side to jump over the wall in desperation.
This time, they brought the entire Shen family and Universe Corporation, which was fifty to sixty percent of their strength.
Even if Shen Yuanbiao wanted to put up a stubborn resistance, he could only seek his own destruction.
Yet, the scene inside the warehouse shocked everyone.
Not only did they not find Shen Yuanbiao, who had just entered the warehouse through the underground passage, but they also did not find any contraband or dangerous goods there.
Similarly, they did not find any fierce-looking wanted criminals.
The vast majority of the containers were filled with crystal ore slag that had been refined many times.
All the slag had legal purchase, tax, and clearance documents attached.
All the “freight workers” were exactly the same.
That could be determined by their temperament, facial expressions, muscle lines, the toughness of their flesh, and the smoothness of their skin.
Not to mention, Shen Yuhe and the others entered their faces and fingerprints into the database and confirmed their identities. They were all good, law-abiding citizens!
“How-How is this possible?”
Cold sweat immediately flowed down Shen Yuhe and the others’ foreheads to their lips, but they could not stop it.
Over the past few days, they had conducted thorough investigations around the warehouse in the south of the city.
They had confirmed that the goods that had been delivered there were still emanating feeble spirit waves despite the fact that they were all packed in special materials.
Therefore, they judged that the goods were all extremely dangerous and possibly undeclared “weapons of mass destruction.”
However, they did not expect the slag that had been refined many times to also have weak spirit radiation that could produce the same effect as carefully-sealed “weapons of mass destruction.”
The question was, why had Shen Yuanbiao gone through so much trouble to collect so much slag?
Since when did he, the CEO of Universe Corporation, personally come here and take charge of the group’s garbage collection?
“We’ve all been fooled!”
Shen Yuhe, Shen Yufeng, and Shen Chenglie looked at each other and saw the deep confusion and unease in each other’s eyes.
They realized that Shen Yuanbiao had seen through their intentions long ago.
This warehouse in the south of the city was a trap that Shen Yuanbiao had meticulously set up!
The problem was, what was the point of Shen Yuanbiao meticulously setting up such a trap?
Was it to gather them together and capture them all in one go?
That was impossible!
Besides, they had more than half of Universe Corporation’s military power. Once they gathered together, their momentum would be even greater. Shen Yuanbiao could not swallow them with just the other half of his military power.
Even if Shen Yuanbiao had taken great pains to raise an unknown and incomparably elite military force in the dark, he would still have to pay an extremely terrifying price to finish all of them in one go.
Killing a thousand enemies would result in a loss of eight hundred. The game of power naturally had its own rules that could not be broken in a fight. The Shen family’s own people would fight until their heads split and blood flowed, and both sides would suffer devastating losses. On the contrary, outsiders would look at them like a joke and take advantage—Shen Yuanbiao was not stupid, he would never do such a stupid thing that only harmed others and did not benefit himself!
“Shen Yuanbiao… What on Earth is he trying to do?!”
Shen Yuhe, Shen Yufeng, and Shen Chenglie all muttered to themselves at the same time. Their expression showed unprecedented disappointment, confusion, fear, and nervousness!
…
More than twon hundred meters away from them, in another unremarkable warehouse.
Through the hidden surveillance camera, Shen Yuanbiao saw the dazed and embarrassed looks of Shen Yuhe and the others. He could not help but smile.
His advanced thermal sensing and facial recognition system clearly outlined the facial features of Shen Yuhe and the rest.
Combined with the identity information that had been stored in the database for a long time, it was easy for him to calculate the number of subordinates that Shen Yuhe and the others brought along, as well as their identities.
As expected, the blood descendants faction and the adopted children faction had come out in full force. All the famous experts participated in the operation. “My nephews and nieces really think highly of my old bones!
“In that case, there shouldn’t be many people at The Grand View of the Universe who can participate in its defense, right?
“If my dear big brother is still alive, he will certainly devote all his attention and combat ability to the south city warehouse and prepare to completely destroy my hopes of usurping the throne, right?
“Big Brother, you’ve been smart all your life. Unfortunately, you never calculate this last game of chess. The south city warehouse is not important. The Grand View of the Universe is the real battlefield!
“Judging from the time, the people of the Blood Alliance should have sneaked into The Grand View of the Universe by now, without anyone noticing.
“What I want to do is be the first to return there before Shen Yuhe and the others can react and find Big Brother’s cold body as well as traces of the murderer.
“Shen Yuhe, Shen Yufeng, and Shen Chenglie are all intelligent individuals. As for Shen Chenglie and the other adopted children, they are not even related to Big Brother by blood. All they want is to protect their current interests.
“When I have the power in my hands and their power is gone, in order to not become their father’s murderer… they should make the right choice!”
