When the missile silos in the chest and shoulders of the Mark 7 opened for an instant, a lethal threat enveloped the entire base.
Zhang Menglong had only a few minutes, and chatting with these people would merely waste his cred points, so he chose to take action directly!
After Jarvis's precise calculations, it immediately locked onto the most perfect shooting points, and dozens of missiles trailing long flames instantly flew out in all directions.
"Bastard!" Ryuzo Ichiro was the first to rush out. With the strength of a Level Eight Enhanced Human, ordinary thermal weapons had long since lost the ability to harm him; he would even dare to withstand the force of a missile explosion head-on!
A fierce blaze ignited on his body as he directly faced a micro-missile.
Although it was a micro-missile, its power was unknown how many times greater than the current level on Earth, so how could it be blocked by a Level Eight Enhanced Human?
The entire building was instantly reduced to ashes, and the massive shockwave sent Ryuzo Ichiro's body flying.
His body was dripping with blood; if not for his strong cell vitality and life force, the power of this explosion would have been enough to erase him from the world.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Dozens of missiles exploded in succession, and in an instant, the whole underground base turned into a human purgatory. This base, which took years to build and cost billions of US dollars, was gone in a matter of seconds.
"Such strong armor! Such destructive power!" A weapons expert donning a white lab coat stood dumbfounded under the protection of numerous enhanced humans as he watched Zhang Menglong, "To create such a thing, not to mention the initial investment, just the manufacturing cost must be hundreds of billions of US dollars, right?"
"Old man's got quite an eye," Zhang Menglong smiled at the weapons expert, "But to our boss, money's just a number. He has hundreds of such suits of armor! This is just the first step!"
These were the last words Ryuzo Ichiro heard before his consciousness plunged into a coma.
"Hundreds of suits... Zhang Menglong..."
...
"Mr. Ryuzo! Mr. Ryuzo!"
When Ryuzo Ichiro woke up again, he was lying in a hospital. Thanks to his strong cell vitality, his external injuries had almost healed, but the depletion of his cells left his body extremely weak.
"What makes you say that?"
"Our operations have always been meticulously planned, but on our way to the island province of Huaxia, in the Pacific Ocean, we were ambushed by the forces under Zhang Menglong, which means our operation plan has been exposed!"
"Investigate!" Kuroshi ordered coldly to someone behind him.
"Yes, Minister!"
"Minister, there's something I'm not sure I should say!"
"Speak!"
"Before, when we and the European and American raw material suppliers acted against Zhang Menglong's companies, he didn't bother with us. But this time, we sent people to kill him, which may have crossed his bottom line. I heard him say, 'This is only the first step.'
"Only the first step?" Kuroshi frowned. Could it be that Zhang Menglong would take further actions?
"You rest up, leave the rest to us!"
"Minister," Ryuzo Ichiro said, "Perhaps stopping Zhang Menglong from importing new earth minerals was not the wisest move. So far, he's been unscathed, while we've lost our natural gas and coal supplies, and now we've lost base number nine. Is this cost worth it?"
Kuroshi remained silent.
Ryuzo Ichiro sighed,
...
"Damn, that's expensive!" After destroying base number nine, Zhang Menglong immediately returned to Huaxia. Looking at his Cred Points, which were now in the single digits, Zhang Menglong suddenly felt the pinch.
"Mr. Zhang, did you just go out? I've been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find you."
"Oh, just went out for a stroll," Zhang Menglong said casually. From the time he set out to his return, it was no more than ten minutes in total. Except for Ye Yin, no one knew he had already taken a trip to Kaibong and even destroyed one of their bases.
"Right, what did you want to see me about?"
"Mr. Zhang, I have found all the information on the chip suppliers you asked me to look into," Hong Yi handed a document to Zhang Menglong, "What do you need these for?"
"Hehe," Zhang Menglong chuckled mischievously, "It is only proper to return a favor. They caused a strike at Silicon Moonlight and disrupted the stability of our company. We need to repay the gesture. I, Zhang Menglong, am not the type to take a beating lying down!"
