Chapter 31
: The Ultimate Secret
That night, at 23:41 PM, on the floating vehicle that resembled an aerial fortress, Qiao Yuan was drinking coffee, planning to personally show the video recording to Yan Baobao after their meeting.
The car was deathly silent. He had forcibly brought all 16 boys on board, cramming them full, which made Zhou Ye's face turn black with anger.
Fang Ping, feeling guilty, ran to the driver's seat, even though it was on autopilot.
The boys looked at each other, not daring to ask or speak, like elementary school students who had done something wrong and remained silent.
Only Qiao Yuan spoke with great interest: "Where does Brother Zhou plan to take them?"
"An orphanage!" Zhou said irritably.
Seeing this, Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Look, you've scared them so much they're all silent."
Zhou ignored them. His only thought now was to get rid of these orphans as soon as possible, but he was worried that these teenagers would let something slip.
This is a hot potato.
Sixteen hot potatoes still!
No, I need to find a chance to get rid of that beast Qiao Yuan! He loses his composure for every second the other man does; he's such a monster.
Qiao Yuan smiled and decided to give Zhou Ye a breather for now, as he needed to plan ahead.
For example, the seven high-ranking members of the Zero Clan also need to be mentioned to Bao Bao. Under no circumstances should these mad dogs be allowed to sneak into the main city, as he still needs to go to Galaxy University.
Initially, he wanted these guys to bomb the headquarters of the Fajia Heavy Industry directly, but the problem was that these guys weren't just after the Fajia Heavy Industry; they actually started lecturing the people in a very eloquent way.
They actually pinned all the problems on the people, hoping to make them grow through bloodshed in the revolution?
Damn it, why don't these bastards just get blown up and burned themselves? Shameless.
He didn't really care that Joyful State had fallen, but he lived in Joyful State, and like everyone else, he was a victim of the Zero Revolution.
Simply because he can travel to the past and future, making him luckier than others.
Otherwise, they would have been blown up at 23 PM just now, and they wouldn't be here now.
There must be other bad guys in the main city, but no matter what, it doesn't stop him from feeling an increasingly strong disgust for the Zero Clan. Those bastards!
But then again.
The territory of Silvermoon City is vast, stretching 700 kilometers in length and width, and is divided into four urban areas.
The heights are even more exaggerated, ranging from a minimum of 4,000 meters to a towering 10,000 meters or more, with a large number of floating megastructures at around 20,000 meters, and one super space elevator after another.
The entire Huanxizhou area is only a few dozen kilometers in size, which is only one-tenth the size of the main city.
He had only ever looked at things of this size from afar since he was a child, and had never actually set foot in them.
almost.
Now the Moonlit Community is gone, and Huanxizhou is also a mess; there's nothing left to remember it by.
at the same time.
As the fire spread completely, more than 50% of the floating buildings in Huanxi Prefecture collapsed and were reduced to bloody ruins in the air.
The remaining areas were sturdy "fortresses" like the Merlin commercial district, which consisted of numerous floating buildings, and areas far from the Legalist factories, which were spared.
The death toll has likely exceeded 100,000...
A true hell on earth.
In addition, Yu Jin and Fajia Heavy Industry quickly activated their emergency response plan.
Four Enterprise-class silver bullet-shaped starships flew in from the direction of the main city. They all bore the logo of Legalist Heavy Industries, were 500 meters long and 100 meters wide, and looked imposing.
As the massive lower metal compartment of the starship opened, hundreds of firefighting drones rapidly descended. They were disc-shaped, each about two meters in diameter, and moved at high speed in a spiral, spraying condensing fire extinguishing agents.
It stirred up a trail of icy wind wherever it went, with excellent results and high efficiency.
On the Ember Bureau's side, many strategic laser airships, much smaller than starships and about 100 meters long, were activated to provide fire support to Zero.
These laser airships, sharp as daggers, also successively accepted the Ember members en route, conducting force regrouping, command, and redistribution.
Zhou Ye was originally going to the welfare home.
Upon discovering this, Qiao Yuan immediately said, "Go and rejoin the main force. The orphanage has already burned down."
With just one sentence, he made the teenagers panic and start whispering among themselves.
"No way?! Please don't!"
"Anyway, it's the main city... uh, I mean, whatever, I don't want to go back."
"Oh no, what do we do now?"
Zhou Ye's expression changed rapidly. He immediately shouted, "Shut up, what's the panic? Let's take a look first. I'm busy, there's a pile of broken things."
"Go to hell!" Qiao Yuan refused outright. "If you throw them into an orphanage, aren't you just letting them die? What's the difference?"
"Shut up, this is my car, or you can get out and get out!" Zhou was furious.
He felt that if he didn't vent his anger, he would eventually be driven to his death by Qiao Yuan.
"Look, you're in such a hurry again."
Qiao Yuan smiled enigmatically. Anyway, he was carrying a flight backpack, but it was a pity that he had left behind the car he had just bought today after only one trip.
"Enough, Qiao Yuan! Who do you think you are? Don't push your luck!" Zhou Ye couldn't help but roar.
"So what?"
He didn't think much of it when the baby used it, after all, the baby is a bit picky, and it matches well.
Now that he had spoken to Zhou Ye, it was clear to the naked eye that Zhou Ye's mentality had completely collapsed, his facial features were distorted, and his gaze seemed to want to devour him alive.
Fang Ping quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Hey, stop arguing! What time is it?"
Zhou Ye, like a powder keg that had been ignited, glared directly at Fang Ping: "You shut up too! You useless thing!"
Fang Ping listened, seemingly wanting to say something but ultimately remaining silent. After a moment's thought, he returned to the driver's seat.
"I'll say it again, this is my car. Anyone who's unhappy can get lost. I'm going to the orphanage if I say so, and that's it! Even if the King of Heaven himself comes, it's not allowed!"
Zhou Ye's words were firm and resolute. Although his initial plan was to get rid of Qiao Yuan, he later realized it would be difficult unless Qiao Yuan met with Yan Baobao.
There's probably no solution for the time being.
So let's deal with these orphans first, as long as Qiao Yuan doesn't know the truth.
[Ember Floating Vehicle No. 375, due east, please immediately approach Space Battleship No. 10.]
[Ember Floating Vehicle No. 375, due east, please immediately approach Space Battleship No. 10.]
As he was thinking, a burly man in light blue holographic form popped out from the conference table; he was the commander of the No. 10 Ember warship not far away.
"What? No!" Zhou was stunned for a moment.
Qiao Yuan grinned and laughed out loud: "Hahaha, aren't you going yet? If you keep dawdling, the warship commander will punish you."
Zhou Ye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, for the first time thinking that he should kill Qiao Yuan right now!
What terrible things have they done?!
He's so angry he's about to explode.
Fang Ping, sitting in the driver's seat, sighed slightly. He was still hesitating about whether or not he should inform on them.
[Warning: We are now in a state of war. To eliminate the Zero Clan, we need to conduct collective operations with the space battleship as the command center. All your missions are suspended now and will be reassigned once we are close together.]
[Warning: We are now in a state of war. To eliminate the Zero Clan, we need to conduct collective operations with the space battleship as the command center. All your missions are suspended now and will be reassigned once we are close together.]
The holographic commander on the conference table issued new instructions, which were beyond question.
Whether it's the army or the embers, obedience is paramount, especially in wartime; any refusal is considered desertion.
Enraged, Zhou slammed his fist into the wall of the adjacent carriage: "Damn it!"
He ultimately chose to get closer, but new ideas gradually formed in his mind.
Qiao Yuan couldn't stop smiling. He even hoped that Zhou would make a move so that he could act in self-defense.
At the same time, the self-processing will of electronic products became more and more obvious. Fortunately, the hovercar was not affected, but a violent roar came from the distance, like some kind of behemoth awakening.
The Legalist starship high in the sky was suddenly struck by a blinding black lightning bolt, which activated the white energy shield on the starship's surface with a loud boom.
However, the black lightning was extremely powerful, directly creating countless cracks in the starship's energy shield.
Qiao Yuan frowned. With midnight approaching, he decisively used his last entry into the timeline for the day.
[Anchor point: Black lightning.]
[Time: One minute later.]
In an instant, he saw an unbelievable scene in the future timeline: a summoned, charred black mechanical head, a full kilometer tall, located north of the Merlin commercial district.
At the very top of that head was Caesar!
And those two high-ranking third-tier figures he had met, the gaunt elder and the blonde woman named Lina, seemed to have declared final war.
Is this the ultimate secret?
Oops!
If that's the case, it's best not to get close to the space battleship, as being alone is just as dangerous.
