Instead, they kept a vigilant watch from the sky above the cave, until the US forces had completely encircled the area.

After observing the situation outside, Yan Fei became even more certain of his previous conjecture. Yang Qi's predicament was engineered to lure him out of Misty Island. The Americans' true target was Yan Fei; so even knowing that Yan Fei was surrounded, they refrained from launching an immediate attack–they surely wanted to capture him alive.

However, Yan Fei felt that these Americans must have had something more cunning up their sleeves. But, with the US forces not taking any action, Yan Fei was all too happy to continue waiting. His goal was to delay, and as long as he could achieve that, Yan Fei would not take the initiative to attack.

The drone remained concealed within that cloud, which had surprisingly grown in volume during this time. Buffeted by the strong winds aloft, the cloud had drifted from its original location, conveniently reaching a point two kilometers west of Yan Fei's position.

After consuming energy points for several hours, the drone's total energy had dwindled to 90,000 points. But this expenditure of energy points was worthwhile. With the drone serving as an early warning aircraft, Yan Fei could stay indoors yet have real-time imagery to fully grasp the battlefield situation.

Gradually, the sky grew darker. Eventually, the last glimmer of twilight vanished from the horizon. Yan Fei began to use the Auxiliary Brain to log into the Dark Web using Fei Ping's account and posted a new bounty task.

“The Los Angeles Police have baselessly smeared a Chinese person as a KB element and are pursuing him. I hope someone can foil the American conspiracy and bring the wronged Chinese person back to China. Anyone who completes this task will be rewarded 500 million US dollars.”

Then Yan Fei used the Auxiliary Brain to transfer the 500 million US dollar bounty from his overseas secret account into the Dark Web's margin account. Once the margin was received, the Dark Web began to flag the task in red, displaying it prominently on the most visible part of the Dark Web.

After he had done all this, Yan Fei did not log into the Destroyer account to accept the task. He opened his eyes and said to Yang Qi, “Get ready, we're leaving here soon!”

Yang Qi appeared somewhat dazed and confused; it wasn't until Yan Fei repeated himself that he snapped to attention. He stood up expressionlessly, holding the ashes urn beside Yan Fei.

Outside the cave, the area was lit up brightly, with vehicles with their headlights on everywhere, and beside these vehicles were fully armed American soldiers. These soldiers did not display the slightest tension of pre-battle; armed and chatting cheerfully with one another. In their eyes, this was not a special operation but more like an armed parade. They believed that just by showing up with weapons, all matters could be resolved perfectly. Years of being undefeated had dulled this army that emerged from the carnage of World War II; they had lost their keenest sense of danger.

The Apache armed helicopters in the sky blinked red lights beneath their fuselages, circling in flight, surveilling the cave entrance below. As Yan Fei did not respond, the pilots became numb, flying the helicopters subconsciously as their combat readiness dulled from the prolonged uneventful flying. Their chatter over the communication channels was not about warfare but baseball games and women, seemingly the only things keeping them from dozing off …

Just as the entire US military force was in a state of complacency, twelve streaks of light suddenly appeared from a cloud 3,000 meters above their heads. These lights, which turned the cloud red upon appearance, tore through the cloud's constraints and sped downwards.

It had to be said, the US military equipment indeed was the finest. Shortly after these twelve streaks of light appeared, both the onboard radars on the Apache armed helicopters and the anti-aircraft radars set up by ground forces quickly detected the abnormality and in a short period determined that the approaching lights were missiles targeting the Apaches in the sky.

On receiving the radar warning, the Apache pilots were puzzled, thinking there was a malfunction in their radar. After all, this was United States mainland airspace, an absolutely safe domain where they flew freely; how could missiles possibly be there to target them?

Nevertheless, these pilots saw the incoming missiles with their own eyes and realized their radars were indeed accurate. Before their minds could react, their bodies, trained over years, instinctively performed evasive maneuvers. They tried to dodge the missiles while releasing decoy flares.

But to the pilots' horror, the incoming missiles were not fooled by the decoy flares and kept a straight course towards them. Once unable to jam the missiles, the nightmare began for the helicopters; their flight speed was too slow, while the missiles approached too fast.

On the ground, some swift-reacting soldiers spotted the incoming missiles. In their shocked gaze, they saw a flash of lights. Twelve missiles hit the Apaches in the sky, detonating twelve deadly sparks.
