Chapter 546: Chapter 331 Heaven and Earth Net! _2
Beside the tarmac, several military vehicles equipped with heavy weapon systems stood ready, their cannons aimed at the sky, apparently prepared to intercept any incoming targets.
In the core area of the base, a huge command center was ablaze with lights, where various screens and monitors displayed real-time data and surveillance footage.
Technicians busied themselves at keyboards, analyzing information from every corner.
On the other side of the base, special forces members were conducting their final tactical exercises, clad in specially designed bulletproof vests and wielding advanced equipment, simulating how to effectively approach and control a target.
Occasional shouts from simulated combat and the sound of weapon fire rang out from the training ground, all to ensure that each member could perform optimally at critical moments.
The storage area held a vast stock of ammunition and other supplies, ranging from regular bullets to specialized ammunition. The area also housed a dedicated medical facility to address any potential emergency treatment needs.
The entire base was in a state of high alert, with tight defensive measures in place both in the air and on the ground.
From high-tech gear to personnel training, every preparation reflected the base’s serious commitment to the mission.
Meanwhile, in the command center,
Commander Corey Mars was sprawled in his chair, cursing.
"I told you to hurry up and bring the chemical weapons over, forget about the so-called international conventions and humanitarian concerns!"
"Am I supposed to die if he doesn’t?"
Corey Mars growled unhappily into the phone and then abruptly hung up.
That damn Superhuman was already on his way over, while those fat logistics personnel were still giving him the runaround.
He didn’t believe their prattle about humanitarianism and international conventions for a second. Those guys had definitely sold the stock to some lab for a kickback, and couldn’t produce it quickly.
If it had been earlier, he would have gotten involved and taken his cut as well.
But he didn’t have time to deal with that now.
He needed to get whatever was left over delivered quickly.
Since receiving the assignment from that old man on the sickbed, Corey Mars had known from the existing intelligence how terrifying the Superhuman was.
If it hadn’t been for the significant rewards and some leverages the old man promised, and if the experts hadn’t analyzed that sonic weapons, chemical weapons, laser weapons, and heat weapons were likely to be effective, he would have fled already.
Even so,
he was prepared to flee at any moment.
Although the military base was technically the old man’s private army, as the commander, he had secretly groomed a group of loyal personnel.
At this moment, they were stationed in a nondescript private car parked not far from the command center,
ready to drive him away at a moment’s notice.
There was also a safe house in a nearby town; with the military base’s forces engaged, he figured he had a chance of making it there to hide.
Thinking this,
the anxious commander took a puff from the half-smoked cigar on his desk.
Since the failure of the "Pawn" mission, he had been ordered by that old man to come here and prepare for confronting the so-called Superhuman.
But in the hours since then, he felt that there was something strange about the old man he had been in contact with.
Or rather, something seemed off.
Reflecting on what he had seen an hour ago during a video call, the old man in the underground shelter seemed to have better complexion than the one who had always lain on the sickbed.
Pondering this,
he shook his head and tried not to think too much about it.
Regardless, he planned to flee.
He picked up the operational plan prepared by the experts from the table to review it again.
Given the situation could escalate to combat at any time,
he wanted to recheck their strategy.
But before he could even review it again, the phone on the desk rang.
Seeing that the call was from the military base’s surveillance department, he immediately answered.
"Reporting, Commander, we’ve lost the monitoring data on Chen Yun."
"Analysis suggests he might have stealth capability or has stopped traveling at supersonic speed."
Corey Mars paused, taken aback by the news.
This scenario left him momentarily unable to respond.
Stealth or stopping travel?
Putting himself in Chen Yun’s shoes, would he choose to stop in such a situation?
It seemed somewhat unrealistic.
If he had such abilities and was in this situation, he would likely eliminate all his enemies directly.
So, if it wasn’t a halt in travel,
it was very likely,
that Chen Yun actually had the capability to evade radar and a series of detection methods through stealth?
If that was the case...
Thinking this, Corey Mars suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Intense fear filled his mind.
If he could become invisible on the monitoring equipment, it meant that he had no idea where Chen Yun was at the moment.
Previously, Chen Yun had always been high-profile and never invisible, making people think he was just flying in and out openly, not knowing what invisibility was.
Therefore, Corey Mars had dared to accept the old man’s orders to command, assuming he could predict Chen Yun’s movements.
But now,
once he knew Chen Yun could become invisible,
he felt that Chen Yun might even be behind him.
So, he couldn’t wait to stand up and grab the pre-prepared bag on the desk to escape.
But just as his hand touched the emergency bag,
he suddenly froze in place.
Wait...
Behind him?
In that instant, countless thoughts circulated in his mind.
His emotions also began to fluctuate intensely.
Right, since he could become invisible, why couldn’t he be right behind him?
With a strong sense of denial, he slowly turned his head to look.
There he saw Chen Yun actually leaning against the wall behind him, calmly watching him.
In that moment, his blood rushed to his head.
That extremely clear figure, Corey Mars was certain he wasn’t mistaken.
It was definitely the image of Chen Yun that was deeply etched in his mind.
He wanted to say something,
but didn’t know what to say.
He just stood there like a wooden figure, completely at a loss.
His thoughts seemed to have frozen.
It wasn’t until Chen Yun spoke that he regained his ability to think.
"You don’t look much like a commander, do you?"
Chen Yun said meaningfully.
At the same time, he looked somewhat amusedly toward the direction outside the command center.
Hearing this,
Corey Mars paused.
He didn’t understand Chen Yun’s meaning at first.
But seeing Chen Yun looking outside the command center, and thinking about the old man’s oddity,
ripples of realization spread through his heart.
Then he realized how far his command center was from some other departments, yet close to some important weapon systems.
Suddenly, he understood.
He wasn’t a commander at all!
He was basically just a large piece of bait!
After all, how could sound weapons, laser weapons, chemical weapons, and high-heat weapons ensure they could hit a ten times supersonic Chen Yun?
Naturally, bait was needed.
In the instant he figured it all out, he didn’t hesitate to verbally thrash the old man.
Then he prepared to immediately order the outside not to open fire.
Unfortunately, he didn’t react in time, and could never react again.
At the moment Chen Yun revealed himself, destroying his "Spiritual Position" invisibility, all the weapons that had been aimed at the command center fired immediately.
Even though Corey Mars quickly tried to shout a stop, it was too late.
After all, by the time Chen Yun appeared, it was already too late.
Even after realizing it, Corey Mars didn’t have time to say anything else as countless attacks had already arrived at the command center.
The floor immediately heated up, the ceiling ejected gelled gasoline, the overhead lights emitted lasers, the walls released sonic vibrations, and the surrounding furniture emitted chemicals...
All this, combined with specially fortified walls, turned the place into a meticulously designed trap.
In a matter of seconds, Corey Mars turned into a lump of charred flesh, with all his internal organs diseased, decayed, shattered...
Chen Yun did not protect him.
Instead, he silently surveyed the surroundings of this carefully arranged set-up, revealing a trace of a smile.
This trap... quite interesting.
Coupled with the dozens of missiles that had already been launched and focused on this location, this place truly deserved the label of a Heaven and Earth Net!
