Super Invincible Battleship
Chapter 544

Chapter 544: Chapter 254: Two Battlefields Chapter 544: Chapter 254: Two Battlefields The name of the Destroyer seemed to possess a special kind of magic; as soon as it was mentioned, everyone in the room had a complex expression on their faces. Since the mysterious emergence of the Destroyer, he had caused immense losses to the United States of America. It could be said that since the end of the Vietnam War, the combined losses of the US on all battlefields afterward did not amount to the losses inflicted by the Destroyer.

It was precisely because the threat posed by the Destroyer to the US was so great that the American side had carefully studied him. They already knew that the Destroyer himself had considerable strength and that he was accompanied by a mysterious fighter jet. They also believed that the Destroyer must be Chinese and that he must have some connection with Yan Fei of Dream Technology. But apart from these points, the American side knew virtually nothing else about the Destroyer.

The room fell silent. After a while, General Miller asked, “What about that Yan Fei? Has he made any moves during this time? And has he posted any bounty tasks on the Dark Web?”

Another intelligence officer immediately stood up and said, “Our personnel have been staking out Dream Tower in Shanghai for over a week, but we've never seen Yan Fei, nor has there been any news about him. Therefore, we suspect that Yan Fei has long since left China, and he is likely on Misty Island, overseeing its construction. Just an hour ago, our internet team monitored Yan Fei using Fei Ping's account to post a bounty task on the Dark Web. The content of the task is to thwart our conspiracy against Yang Qi and to rescue him, offering a bounty of 500 million US dollars.”

General Miller immediately asked, “Has the Destroyer taken up this bounty task?”

The intelligence officer replied, “Due to the special setup of the Dark Web, apart from the task poster, we can't know if someone has taken the task, let alone whether the Destroyer is among those who have.”

General Miller said with dissatisfaction, “After all these years, are you still unable to breach the defenses of the Dark Web? This Dark Web operates outside the control of the US Government; it's not within our grasp and poses a significant threat to us.”

The intelligence officer said with a hint of shame, “We've always been committed to breaching the defense of the Dark Web and obtaining confidential information within, but we have never succeeded. I believe their internet technology far surpasses ours in the US, and we are not yet their match.”

General Miller felt somewhat helpless. The United States had initiated the internet revolution; their internet technology should have been the strongest. However, when confronting the Dark Web, their revered internet technology was completely outclassed. The Dark Web was enigmatic, uncontrollable by any force, and nobody knew the purpose of its establishment or the location of its headquarters. It was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone, and it might fall at any moment, potentially killing them.

The intelligence officer quickly tried to make amends for the shortcomings in his work and said, “Though we don't know whether the bounty task has been taken, our informants have provided us with some information. Because the task offers a substantial bounty and nobody knows it's actually aimed at us, some ignorant bounty hunters have taken the task and have arrived in Los Angeles.”

General Miller rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. With these demons and monsters joining in, the situation here was about to get even more complicated. He then inquired, “Can we pinpoint the network address from which Yan Fei posted the bounty task?”

Upon hearing this question, the intelligence officer's expression turned odd. “Through our network address tracking, we found that Yan Fei actually used our military network to post the bounty task,” he said.

General Miller's expression changed as he asked, “So, does that mean Yan Fei is within the encirclement too?”

The intelligence officer shook his head, “I don't think Yan Fei and Yang Qi's relationship is that good, to the point he would risk showing up on the US mainland for Yang Qi. It's more likely that Yan Fei, with a computer expert at his side, has infiltrated our military network and deliberately let us trace his network address. Yan Fei is purposely provoking us.”

These Americans didn't understand the bond between Yan Fei and Yang Qi or the significance of Yang Qi to Yan Fei's endeavors. Thus, when they reasoned out the development of events, they projected their own values, convinced that a super-rich individual worth billions wouldn't risk infiltrating the US for a university classmate. Moreover, since the person who took Yang Qi away had been assumed by them to be the Destroyer, there was an even smaller likelihood of Yan Fei appearing on the US mainland. Consequently, after missing this critical premise, their reasoning veered further and further off course.

General Miller sighed and said, “We had several objectives in setting up this scheme. The first goal was to capture Yan Fei and from him obtain Dream Technology's funds, technology, and the ownership of Misty Island. But that goal is virtually impossible to achieve since it's unlikely that Yan Fei would leave Misty Island for a university classmate.”

“Once Yan Fei doesn't take the bait and doesn't come to the US, according to his previous patterns, he will certainly post a bounty task on the Dark Web, entrusting the task of rescuing Yang Qi to the Destroyer. So, our second goal is to capture the Destroyer who comes to fulfill the entrusted task. The Destroyer has a highly mysterious fighter jet, and by capturing him, we could gain access to that fighter jet along with the advanced technology it contains. With this technology, our nation's military strength could significantly increase, putting us once again at the peak of global martial force.”
