Chapter 3801 Good Days
Have you not seen the bright mirror in the high hall reflecting the sorrow of white hair, black as silk in the morning, turning to snow by evening...? The joys and sorrows of human life are sometimes interconnected.
In the room with its traditional Chinese interior design, which should have been a joyous occasion, white lanterns were hanging instead.
Situ Leiming sat alone, having prepared a sumptuous meal.
In previous years, this man should have been enjoying the company of his children and the happiness of family life, but now he is just an old man with one foot in the grave.
Several sets of bowls and chopsticks were laid out on the table, untouched; only a small wine glass had been touched.
The old man's eyes were filled with deep sorrow and grief.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and Situ Qingfeng appeared in the old man's sight... He rushed over and came to Situ Leiming, head bowed, half ashamed and half distressed, and hoarsely called out, "Old Sect Master, the [Kalen] Clan has betrayed us, I..."
Situ Leiming shook his head and waved his hand, signaling the loyal child to be quiet.
He then looked towards the door and saw Huo Zhen and the old scoundrel coming in together.
"You really didn't leave." Huo Zhen glanced at the sumptuous dishes on the table and sighed slowly. "Situ Leiming, your injuries can't be left untreated for much longer."
Situ Leiming remained silent.
Although Gongsun Shiyu received a precious medicine from Hou Bai to heal his wounds, he has not taken it yet, in order to prepare for any possible events. No matter what the situation, ordinary people will subconsciously lower their guard when facing a seriously injured enemy.
Seeing that Situ Leiming remained silent, Huo Zhen sighed again, "Situ Leiming, are you aware that your alliance has long been discovered by Sky Shield? This operation may well be the day this alliance is doomed?"
“I know all of this,” Situ Leiming suddenly said.
The old man suddenly became interested. Huo Zhen had not hidden anything about Situ Leiming before, so he immediately thought of the spy that Situ Leiming had planted in the Sky Shield.
Perhaps this was just a casual move at the time, and Situ Leiming never expected that Phyllis could become an eighth-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
"Old sect leader, you... you already knew?" Situ Qingfeng was taken aback; this was no exaggeration, a genuine case of belated realization.
Situ Leiming sighed, "It's imperative for Sky Shield to advance its nationwide security efforts, but to absorb all the non-human forces of the entire Alliance, they can't do it without making any sacrifices. Even if they don't send out their entire force, they will at least draw on most of their combat power."
Upon hearing this, Huo Zhen and the old scoundrel immediately realized something.
The old man frowned and said, "Sect Master Situ, is there a hidden force behind this?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Situ Leiming's eyes. "The Miracle Base has already been destroyed once, so why can't it be destroyed a second time? As for the Sky Shield headquarters... the same goes for it."
Situ Qingfeng quickly realized what was going on, and his expression changed drastically. The old sect leader had actually disregarded the lives of hundreds of core disciples of the Hongmen and used them to set up a trap?
If I hadn't inadvertently discovered the connection between the two parties when I was delivering supplies to the [Kalen] clan, wouldn't I have ended up on the battlefield of the [Alliance] as well?
Situ Leiming sighed and looked at Situ Qingfeng calmly, saying, "At that time, I will instruct you to leave with Duojun. I have already thought of the reason. The Situ family cannot be without an heir, so I think you cannot refuse."
Upon hearing this, Situ Qingfeng was unsure whether to feel sorrow or joy.
Suddenly, Situ Qingfeng's expression changed drastically. The old sect leader was now confessing everything, which clearly meant he had made up his mind to die.
"Old Sect Master, has something happened?" Situ Qingfeng asked hurriedly.
The old sect leader wouldn't have made this decision unless there was an unexpected situation.
Situ Leiming shook his head: "After you disappeared, the [Karen] clan had one of its core members, Edward Karen, convene representatives from all sides to discuss the matter. But we don't know what happened, but none of those who went survived."
Huo Zhen and the old scoundrel couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
"How could this be..." Situ Qingfeng said in disbelief, "Could it be [S.H.I.E.L.D.]?"
Situ Leiming sighed, "If it were someone else from the Karen family who died, perhaps there would be a possibility. But since it was Edward who died, the situation is different. Although there is no evidence to point to S.H.I.E.L.D., at this point, the only thing that everyone can suspect is S.H.I.E.L.D.... Currently, the parties in the alliance are all on edge, and they all suspect that the plan may have been exposed. The witches of the Wild Witches tribe have even begun to be recalled."
Shaking his head, Situ Leiming poured himself a small glass of wine and drank it.
The leaders of those non-human forces are not fools; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to live comfortably despite the dominance of Skyguard.
This was originally just a collaboration based on a fleeting sense of profit. Apart from Situ Leiming, probably no one intended to fight to the bitter end. Now that this trend has emerged, those who should back down will naturally do so.
"Situ Leiming, what are you planning to do?"
If Situ Qingfeng could sense Situ Leiming's will to die, how could Huo Zhen not sense it?
Situ Leiming, with a look of resignation, slowly said, "I have ordered most of the Hongmen disciples to launch a large-scale attack on Houston. Right now, the entire United States' attention is focused on Washington, and local forces are currently vulnerable. However, how much does Sky Shield know behind the scenes? Once the attack occurs, they can only passively send out their main forces to suppress it."
Situ Leiming's gaze narrowed slightly, his pale face flushed with a hint of red, perhaps from the smell of alcohol, or perhaps from a final burst of energy before death. "The Hongmen also has a hidden force called the Martial Arts Hall, a force known only to the sect leader. Once Sky Shield goes to suppress them, the Martial Arts Hall will be mobilized to attack the New Miracle Base, Sky Shield headquarters, and... the President's residence."
hiss--!
A look of seriousness flashed across the old man's face. Situ Leiming's plan was truly insane... Even in this extraordinary era, one would not easily target the head of a country. This was a fight to the death, and it was also the bottom line.
It seems that this old sect leader has truly gone mad after the deaths of his son and grandson.
But when the elderly bury their young, who could remain calm in that situation?
He intends to attack three locations: two are the core of the United States' official "inhuman" forces, and one is the nation's most prominent symbol. Whichever location succeeds will bring significant disaster to the country.
If all three places succeed, things will get really interesting.
But Situ Leiming clearly had an attitude of "I'm ready to die, I don't care what happens after I'm gone"...
I just don't know how strong the [Hongmen]'s [Traditional Martial Arts Hall] is.
for a long time.
Huo Zhen let out a soft sigh. "Junior brother... what do you want me to do?"
Situ Leiming said solemnly, "The Situ family only has Situ Duojun left. If possible, I hope you can ensure her safety... Leiming will personally lead the team to storm the Presidential Palace."
Huo Zhen and the old man were deeply moved.
The plan has begun. If either the New Miracle Base or the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters is damaged, it will have a significant impact on the landscape of this land... But as long as the official superhuman forces are still available, they can be rebuilt quickly.
But once the president...
This country will then be plunged into fierce power struggles... There are not many people in this country who have the ideology of "pacifying the country before resisting external aggression".
If this place is in complete chaos, then other places probably won't be as chaotic, right?
"Junior brother, have you thought this through?"
"The Hongmen disciples are in position." Situ Leiming slammed his cup down. "Like an arrow on a bowstring, it must be released!"
A glint of shrewdness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he suddenly clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Instead of splitting our forces into three groups, we should join forces. If the old sect leader is truly determined, we can launch a full-scale attack on the Presidential Palace."
Situ Leiming suddenly looked up, then burst into laughter, "That is indeed my wish, I dare not ask!"
……
……
"……what?"
At S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Director Wayne's face looked like a wilted old chrysanthemum—he was troubled because the alliance formed by the underground non-human forces seemed to be backing down.
This also means that his plan to wipe them all out is about to fail. The plan was about to succeed, but then this mishap happened. No wonder he can't be laughing.
But who exactly killed the representatives of all parties, causing them to hesitate to act against him?
Before Director Wayne could figure it out, an urgent report from Rocket City arrived, instantly igniting his fury and causing his heart to race so fast that even his pacemaker couldn't control it.
A large group of non-human beings is currently running rampant in Rocket City.
They seized the city hall, robbed the mayor of Rocket City, bombed local highways, attacked HPD, and persecuted the local office of Sky.H.I.E.L.D.
A non-human being, left unchecked and allowed to wreak havoc in the city, would be a massive disaster.
What's more, a group of "non-humans" using heavy weapons?
They roam the city, their destructive power is unimaginable!
In his office, Director Wayne pressed his hands firmly against the table, instinctively thinking that this might be a feint... but who was the opponent?
Are those disorganized "non-human alliances" or the "Hongmen"?
Earlier intelligence indicated that members of the Hung Moon had been secretly moving towards the border... Could it really be them?
How was intelligence work conducted in such a major incident?
"Chief, if we don't send people to suppress this soon, Rocket City might fall!"
If Rocket City were to fall... regardless of how long it would last, the fact that it happened during the tournament would be enough to make the whole world laugh at this big brother for ten or twenty years, or even a lifetime!
If such a serious accident is not handled properly, Chief Wayne could resign at any moment.
"Deploy the New Miracle Team!" Director Wayne commanded in a low voice, "along with three Level 8 agents, and coordinate with the Army assault forces. Set off immediately to suppress the rebellion!"
The assistant had already started sending commands, his fingers flying across the keyboard. "Chief, do we need to deploy [Homeland Soldiers]?"
Director Wayne fell silent upon hearing this.
Currently, the Homeland Soldier is one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s greatest assets, and he instinctively doesn't want the Homeland Soldier to be exposed—or rather, he doesn't want the Homeland Soldier, which has already completed its evolution, to reveal its strength.
Besides, what if this is a feint attack?
“No need.” Director Wayne thought for a moment and said, “Draw another 10% of the [Non-human] reserve forces to participate in the suppression operation and report the situation to me at any time… Also, Washington, D.C. is on high alert. By the way, temporarily cut off the communication system in Rocket City to prevent the news from spreading further.”
In fact, in this world with advanced internet, news of the attack on Rocket City was spread immediately... However, the internet was unusually lively today, and this news, which should have instantly topped the trending searches, lost its rightful place.
It didn't become popular for a while.
By the time the online verbal sparring champions realized what was happening and tried to search for related information, they could find nothing except for the information that had already been published and saved.
……
……
……
……
As the sun sets in the west, the earth is just beginning to lose its twilight glow.
A team of no more than eight people appeared silently on the outskirts of the [New Miracle Base].
"【Dragon Flame Squad】, one team, seven people, all available!"
The squad leader counted the number of members and quickly returned to the queue. This was a team that had been secretly established since the revival of spiritual energy. They had the highest priority in the Bureau of Management and received personal instruction from the "National Heroes".
They are all elites selected from across China, with the aim of forging the Bureau into the sharpest blade... The total number will not exceed twenty-eight, and only twenty-eight will be selected, taking the meaning of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.
This is currently the [White Tiger Seven Mansions].
It governs killing and warfare.
The old man glanced around casually, then slowly put on his specially made alloy mask... Each person was wearing a specially made combat uniform without any markings.
...I've wanted to do this for ages!
The old man's eyes were filled with delight.
Before the spiritual energy revival, due to various factors, it was not advisable for extraordinary powers to get too deeply involved in the secular world, but some grudges and resentments would not disappear with time.
He even wanted to sink those islands in the sea opposite China!
His name is [Fire Cloud Evil God]!
There will be an opportunity.
The old man silently suppressed his emotions.
"Do you see that base up ahead?"
The old scoundrel pointed.
"Saw!"
The old scoundrel said in a deep voice, "There's only one objective tonight: raze this place to the ground! Do you hear me?"
"I heard!"
"set off!"
In an instant, the White Tiger Seven Constellations, taking advantage of the rising night, swiftly advanced towards the New Miracle Base... The old scoundrel narrowed his eyes.
A murderous intent suddenly surged within his arm.
This is the movement of [Tiger Soul].
He gently grasped his arm. "Old friend, I know you're feeling cooped up too, but we can't let you out this time... After all, it's too obvious."
If he doesn't reveal the [Tiger Soul], he'll deny it to the death, which means this is a team of unknown origin, and they'll just talk big afterwards... But once the [Tiger Soul] is revealed, then it's definitely that old scoundrel [Fire Cloud Evil God].
After calming down Tiger Soul, the old man reached into a crumpled packet of Good Days cigarettes, took one out, and lit it.
On such a good day, how can you not have a cigarette?
Don't worry about whether this cigarette is cheap or not, I just want it to bring good luck.
Accompany one.
……
The Miracle Base was destroyed by a mysterious person a while ago, and the Miracle Squad suffered heavy losses... Not long after that incident.
Therefore, the New Miracle Base has put a lot of effort into its defenses.
However, the White Tiger Seven Constellations of the Dragon Flame Squad are all elites who can stand alone. Each one of them could serve as the face of a small, medium, or even large extraordinary organization. In ancient times, these would be true imperial guards!
The moment of impact, the defense system of the [New Miracle Base] collapsed instantly, and the monitoring system was unable to lock the speed of the [White Tiger Seven Constellations] group.
They tore steel apart with their bare hands, kicked apart artillery emplacements, and punched deep craters more than ten meters deep into the ground, advancing relentlessly... While alarms were still rapidly sounding inside the base and the remaining personnel were scrambling to react and fight back, the White Tiger Seven Constellations were already about to break down the door!
Destroying such a base would show absolutely no mercy.
As Lord Dragon Lord said, someone died here, and they deserved to die... But coming here to cause trouble means you won't be sleepy!
"Ah... the defenses have fallen! Reinforcements! Reinforcements!!"
"Where are our people?"
"Damn it...this is a conspiracy!"
"I don't want to die here. I promised Rose I'd go back to my hometown to get married next year..."
However, the main force of the [Miracle Base] had just arrived in Rocket City...
Suddenly, a figure was running at high speed across the distant land... In the blink of an eye, the figure appeared directly in front of the base.
The old scoundrel suddenly stopped, and then a violent surge of martial arts power instantly flowed from his left foot. He stomped his left foot heavily, and the earth shook and cracked open!
A terrifying crack instantly spread from beneath the old scoundrel's feet toward the [New Miracle Base], eventually tearing open the base's gate...
Just then, a dark red figure soared into the sky from within the base.
The old man calmly looked up—it was the "Soldier of the Motherland" he had seen in the documents.
“S.H.I.E.L.D. isn’t stupid either.”
The old scoundrel chuckled. He had chosen the New Miracle Base precisely because of this man-made LV7.
……
……
"What?!"
Director Wayne was at headquarters, directing the suppression operation in the distance... when news arrived that the New Miracle Base had been suddenly attacked!
The director was instantly enraged, and just as he was about to unleash his fury... a tremendous noise suddenly erupted from the Sky Shield headquarters, causing dust and debris to fall from the ceiling above him.
