Chapter 1209: Chapter 477 The United States of America Massive Power Outage Chapter 1209: Chapter 477 The United States of America Massive Power Outage With the current strength of the Drone Avatar, as long as it wasn't facing a dense attack from surface ships, it was invincible underwater. Even if a US strategic nuclear submarine encountered it, they would have no choice but to surrender. Hence, after it fully deployed its firepower, it easily sank two isolated US strategic nuclear submarines.

Originally, Yan Fei wanted to capture these two US strategic nuclear submarines because they were loaded with at least fifty nuclear warheads, and the only nuclear warhead on Dream Island had already been detonated. If Yan Fei wanted to continue possessing nuclear deterrent capability, replenishing with more nuclear warheads captured from the US strategic nuclear submarines was the best method.

However, after careful consideration, Yan Fei abandoned the plan to seize the US nuclear warheads. He couldn't guarantee that these two strategic nuclear submarines weren't a US ploy. If it was a US plot, as soon as he approached the strategic nuclear submarines, their commanders would immediately detonate the onboard nuclear weapons. At such a close distance, Yan Fei would definitely not survive the nuclear explosion, and that would mean the end for both Yan Fei and Dream Island. Thus, for his own safety, Yan Fei would absolutely not recklessly approach the blast range of US nuclear weapons.

Yan Fei wasn't able to replenish his nuclear warheads, but he was still very satisfied with this underwater attack. According to the data displayed by the Drone, the results of the operation read, “Launched torpedo attack underwater, sank two strategic nuclear submarines, obtained Merit Points 80000 (each strategic nuclear submarine provided Merit Points 40000).”

“The Drone has obtained a total of 80000 Merit Points in this operation, and the total Merit Points accumulated by the Drone are 1000000.”

After sinking these two strategic nuclear submarines, the Merit Points acquired by the Drone had reached one million, meeting the basic condition for the Drone's upgrade. Originally, the Drone had earned more than one million Merit Points, but since the Drone hadn't been upgraded yet, one million was the peak that couldn't be exceeded, so those excess Merit Points were discarded.

The first condition for the Drone's upgrade, the requirement of Merit Points, had been completed, but the second condition, the quantity of Upgrade Essential Items, hadn't been met; it currently possessed only 8, missing 2 from the needed 10. If the Drone could obtain 2 more Upgrade Essential Items, then all the conditions for the Drone's upgrade would be satisfied, and it could be upgraded again.

Based on the magnitude of strength improvements after each upgrade of the Drone, it could be basically confirmed that a level 6 Drone would be invincible on Earth. By then, Yan Fei wouldn't fear anyone and could ensure absolute security for himself and Dream Island, and could even venture into the vast universe …

In a secret military base outside Washington in the United States, the former President of the United States and his staff members were in a meeting, discussing how the US could counter the considerable threat posed by Yan Fei and Dream Island. Ever since Dream Island demonstrated their possession of nuclear weapons and their capability to accurately deliver them anywhere, no place in the US was safe anymore. They were forced to consider the possibility that Dream Island now had the capability to destroy the US, and the US could potentially face defeat in this conflict with Dream Island.

Realizing that the US could face defeat, the top leadership of the US became extremely anxious; they had to devise a plan to deal with this unprecedented worst-case scenario. Since the end of the Cold War, the US had not faced such a dire situation, and these individuals deeply resented the old President. It was his stubborn personal opinions, insisting on capturing Wen Rou who returned to the US to find her birth parents, that pushed the US towards this potential pitfall.

It was believed that after the war between the US and Dream Island concluded, regardless of the outcome, the old President would be disgracefully stepping down early. Perhaps he wouldn't even wait for the end of the war to be impeached by Congress and lose all his honor.

Dream Island had merely demonstrated its nuclear weapons capability, threatening the security of the US, which led to the beginning of divisions within the US cabinet. Although there were no overt conflicts on the surface, underneath, turmoil bubbled, with everyone harboring their own agendas.

Just then, the lights at the entire military base suddenly went out; a rare power outage had occurred at the military base. However, no one took this power failure seriously, as the base had its own backup power supplies, which could restore power within at most ten seconds.

But what puzzled these individuals was that even after ten minutes had passed, the power supply at the military base still hadn't been restored. The conference room remained in darkness, not only was the temperature rising, but the air also gradually became turbid–clearly, the ventilation system had encountered problems after the power outage…

At that moment, as everyone was filled with doubt, a senior technical expert entered the conference room and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received the latest news, there has been a nationwide large-scale power outage in the US. Not only here on the US mainland, but also as far north as Alaska and in Hawaii on the Pacific Ocean, power outages occurred simultaneously. Originally many places had backup power supplies, but they could not be activated after the massive power outage, hence our military base has been unable to restore power.”
