Chapter 118: Section 118 - Dominant

Today's Neanderthal tribe is but a dwindling minority, scattered across the world without even a proper settlement, and the number of hybrid offspring within the tribe is increasing. In another forty or fifty years, it may be very difficult to find a pure-blooded Neanderthal. This situation cannot be said to be completely natural, as there are shadows of covert manipulation by some Sovereign Level bigwigs. Being able to assimilate a foreign group without giving people any excuses, the end result is one that everyone can be happy about. It is best that existences like the Neanderthal Elite Warriors do not appear again. Now, a super tough guy has suddenly appeared, capable of taking on four AH-72 "O'naida" armed helicopters. To say there is no sense of crisis would definitely be a lie. This indicates that the Neanderthal tribe, amid reducing their numbers intentionally or unintentionally, still has a trick up their sleeve. What do these unrepentant troublemakers want to do? There has always been a bit of worry and cautiousness in the dark, and now that it has suddenly become tangible, it caught people somewhat off guard. On the third day after the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee released the news, a small Sky Patrol Ship, escorted by two Crystal Jets, arrived at the 911 Aircrew Base. The Sky Patrol Ship, which resembles an iron, is also an important atmospheric transport aircraft. However, it is not of the same technological system as the Magic Cube Transport Ship that had previously visited the 911 Aircrew Base. Its carrying capacity is somewhat inferior, but its flight speed and endurance are better. Production is limited due to reliance on the essential SEG core unit components, which are very costly. To date, the SEG core units that have been put into application are basically still reliant on the dismal yield rate of manual production. If the processing precision is not up to par, it produces nothing but scrap iron without any recyclable value. Rather than yield rate, it might as well be called luck rate. In comparison, although the Metallic Dragons can also produce SEG core units with a yield rate that can reach one hundred percent, their annual output still falls short of manual production due to the dragons' sheer laziness. Apart from the Sky Patrol Ships, which are highly dependent on the SEG core units, a large batch of Crystal Jets are waiting for the installation of small SEG core units, so their combat capabilities can undergo a qualitative leap. Only Crystal Jets equipped with small SEG core units qualify to become true National Treasure Artifacts. Limited by the production capacity of SEG core units, the Sky Patrol Ships tend to be relatively small in size, with scarcity lending them value as high-end aircraft signifying status and position. The Merman Brothers Consortium's blockade of the 911 Aircrew Base from four directions does not mean they have the courage to intercept the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee. Behind the Global United Defense Committee are more than a dozen Sovereign Level forces. With the strength and resources of the Private Military Contractors, even if the top hundred in the industry combined, they still wouldn't withstand a casual slap from the bigwigs backing the Committee members. - As the executive manager of the 911 Aircrew Base, Hanna Gagel, along with another supernatural power user, Chen Fei, personally went to the tarmac to meet them. An hour before the arrival of the small Sky Patrol Ship, the 911 Aircrew Base received the list of investigation team members. Watching the people step out of the Sky Patrol Ship one by one, Hanna Gagel whispered, "Twelve E-rank supernatural power users, four D-rank, two C-rank, two Mages, one Human Order Third Rank, one Human Order Seventh Rank, four War Professionals, all at or above Human Order Fourth Rank, and more than forty ordinary people accompanying." Luckily, she had brought Chen Fei with her, with two supernatural power users together to receive them. Many supernatural power users, Mages, and War Professionals look down on ordinary people, always feeling superior and acting as if they are no longer mere mortals, which is quite nauseating to behold. If they saw the other two vice managers, they would probably not be shown any kindness. "They're probably here for that Neanderthal Elite Warrior, most likely to silence him," said Chen Fei, fully aware of the situation. Such an extravagant lineup could not only strike the 911 Aircrew Base but could flatten the Merman Brothers Consortium, ranked eighth in the industry, without an issue. And the ones getting flattened would probably cheer them on. Just a moment of hesitation gave the opposite first impression to the observer. The representative of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee's investigative team, who was competing with Hanna Gagel, noticed the anomaly on Chen Fei's face and slowly retracted his oppressive force. This silly young man must be the other supernatural power user from the 911 Aircrew Base, the Metal Ability User, Chen Fei. The executive manager tactfully followed suit in calming her Special Ability. The contest between C-Rank ability users would definitely not be decided in a moment, and the earlier exchange was nothing more than an unfriendly greeting. "I am Franco, the leader of the temporary investigation team." Finally, the other party gave the executive manager the courtesy and respect she deserved. If the person facing him had been an ordinary individual, they would have likely been crushed by the irresistible air pressure, blasted into a bloody mess like an exploded balloon, with no chance of survival! Just as Hanna Gagel and Chen Fei thought the man's attitude might improve slightly, they saw the investigation team leader's face become stern as he said without a doubt, "From this moment on, everyone at the Aircrew Base must stay where they are and not move around at will." "May I ask, why is this?" Hanna Gagel was taken aback. The other party was not polite at all, demanding control over everyone on the spot. The temporary investigation team leader Franco authoritatively stated, "This isn't a discussion with you, it is an order, an order from the Committee!" Nearly all Private Military Contractors have to act according to the whims of the Global United Defense Committee. The latter possesses not only the representative power of Sovereign Level, but they are also the major financiers for the former. If it weren't for the annual contract fees and performance bonuses, many of those with Aircrew Bases would be left destitute. "No one present is allowed to move!" A voice shouted from behind Franco, scattering a handful of dust, as a Magic Wand appeared in his hand. He began to chant loudly. The one large and three small Demon Crystals embedded in the head of the wand emitted a deep blue light, and countless tiny droplets emerged from the air, mixing with the dust and taking on color. A green Mist rapidly expanded in size, quickly enveloping an area over a dozen meters in diameter, swallowing up the personnel from the 911 Aircrew Base on the spot, while deftly avoiding the members of the investigation team. Anyone touched by the green Mist would immediately lose consciousness and collapse on the spot. The Mist was still expanding rapidly, in no time covering the entire tarmac and rolling towards the two hangars. "'Slumber Mist'?! Everyone from 911 is here; no one would try to escape. Isn't this unnecessary?" Hanna Gagel's face looked very uneasy as she watched the Mage activate the war spell from Cangqiong Star, spreading it to every corner of the Aircrew Base. As long as the spiritual power and Magic Element were sufficient, the Mist would expand endlessly. If everyone from the 911 Aircrew Base were incapacitated, the consequences would be unthinkable should the Merman Brothers Consortium take advantage of the situation. "Shut up! It is absolutely necessary. Begin drawing blood now!" The temporary investigation team leader Franco waved his hand impatiently, not bothering to explain further. -
