Chapter 104 - World Upside Down!

(Please bookmark!!)

Somewhere outside.

This is where Hua Xia established a ‘temporary headquarters’ in response to sudden events.

This place usually managed to stay in constant contact with several Soldier Kings on the front lines of the war.

But today, for some unknown reason, communications had broken down.

Apart from one injured Soldier King, the remaining two Soldier Kings who were chasing the two strong ones from the Stars and Stripes Country had lost contact!

“No good, they must have gone deep underground.

What exactly does that passage lead to, that it’s so deep even satellite signals can’t reach?” The technicians were anxious, calculating data that was hard to believe.

“Damn it, if those Stars and Stripes Country spies and Wa Kingdom spies hadn’t destroyed some vital communications equipment, this wouldn’t have happened!”

The whole staff at the temporary headquarters were complaining.

Due to the temporary headquarters being hastily set up in response to the two Stars and Stripes Country people, there was a need for cumbersome procedures.

Without formal orders, no resources could be deployed. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, the highest leader of the temporary headquarters was a high-ranking major general of Hua Xia!

It would ordinarily be quite easy for them to handle such procedures.

But now, the foreign spies used a clever scheme.

They flooded departmental channels with false orders, making it impossible to separate the real orders from the false ones.

This made it necessary for every unit to painstakingly confirm the authenticity of received commands before they could proceed!

And so, precious time was wasted.

“Damn it, there was also a mole in the Ministry of Defense.

The elite squad now need to wait at least 40 minutes before they can embark on the mission to the forest.”

“Their dirty tricks have put us in a serious time crisis!”

“Situation is bad!

The external communications have failed again!”

“How I wish we were still in pre-information age, where we could simply send somebody over to communicate the message.”

The top personnel at the temporary headquarters were extremely anxious.

These current situations required quick decision-making, but the spies from Stars and Stripes Country and Wa Kingdom had managed to disrupt key communication lines and plunged the temporary headquarters into chaos.

Of course, such a stir exposed most spies stationed within Hua Xia and their corrupted officials.

Now, Hua Xia was able to detect and avoid many potential issues that could have caused massive harm in event of future wars arising.

However, the actions of these two countries were not as straightforward as they seem in exposing their spies and their corrupted officials!

Everybody was aware of this.

“Quick!

Everyone, speed up the process.

According to the previous message, we can’t hesitate to start a conflict with the two countries, if necessary.

We must figure out a way to solve the current dilemma and send the troops over for support!”

Everyone began to work in an orderly and efficient manner at the temporary headquarters.

Afterward, with so many spies exposed, some people began to move their families.

Some watchmen, after causing damage, wanted to quietly exit from Hua Xia’s land!

If they can escape and return to their country, they’d be hailed as heroes.

However, if they can’t, then once caught in Hua Xia, they would face certain death!

Moreover, they could expect harsh treatment before death.

The information a spy possessed could be very valuable.

When the issue rose to the level of affecting relations between nations, there was not much talk of human rights any longer.

Minor conflicts can escalate to larger ones, especially in such a situation!

The external world was in a complete mess.

The Stars and Stripes Country and Wa Country suddenly announced an ’emergency joint exercise’.

A battle group formed by a Stars and Stripes Country aircraft carrier and several battleships is heading for Diaoyu Island, a disputed island between Hua Xia and Wa Country.

This sparked widespread concern among global media!

Billions of people were worried.

This was seen as an extremely provocative act against Hua Xia.

They feared that the incident would trigger Hua Xia’s ire, potentially becoming the spark that ignites World War III.

Nobody knew the outcome!

In response to the provocation by the two countries, the Hua Xia Foreign Ministry held an emergency press conference and commented: Hua Xia has always pursued the basic policy of maintaining peaceful and friendly international relations since the reform and opening up, but we will not sit idly by as certain countries repeatedly cross the line.

We will make a strong response!

The world was shocked!

But the protagonists of the events in the Underground World hadn’t noticed any of these things.

Of course, the members belonging to the Stars and Stripes Country and Wa Country perhaps knew about these events before they even entered the Underground World.

Judging by their preparation, their actions were most likely premeditated!

“They have climbed up.”

Jia Yan watched as several men from Wa Country, utilizing advanced rope devices on their arms, swung into the cave entrance several meters above the ground in just a few moves.

If he remembered correctly, there was a distance of over a hundred meters from the cave entrance to the location of the machinery.

“Now it’s almost certain that the people from Wa Country are here for that machine!

The people from Stars and Stripes Country are also likely headed there, but they didn’t have the map that the people from Wa Country had and thus took the wrong route!”

“As for the Soldier Kings from Hua Xia, they were purely here to pursue the invaders.”

Jia Yan contemplated in the bushes as he watched the Army of Glires chasing the forces of the Stars and Stripes Country and the Hua Xia Soldier Kings towards the cave.

They were fast approaching his location!

Jia Yan hurried to hide himself better.

Stomp, stomp, stomp!

Footsteps sounded right by his ear.

Jia Yan watched, his compound eyes glowing, as two men from the Stars and Stripes Country charged past him.

Then came the two Soldier Kings.

Despite their more heavy-duty equipment, their hulking bodies made them slower.

They had to exert even more effort, and were the focus of the Giant Glires’ airborne assault.

Ironically, the two men from the Stars and Stripes Country up ahead were much safer!

Jia Yan still did not budge.

The dense vegetation shielded him from the Army of Glires above.

Once all of the soldiers had run past him, the Giant Glires flew over Jia Yan’s head one by one.

However, one particularly large Giant Glires, about fifteen centimeters in size, detected something unusual in the bushes and suspended itself in midair to observe the area below!

Before it could descend though, something metallic shot out from the bushes below!

Swish!

What a sharply metallic thing!

It cut off the head of the Giant Glires right away, freezing its soaring body mid-air!

Jia Yan, shrouded in a metal exoskeleton, one of his front legs swung like a sword, sleek and straight, then sliced it off with one swoop!

This stroke, accompanied by his sudden emergence from the undergrowth, was lightning fast, unimaginably so!

The blade, modified from a scalpel, had great sharpness.

The tough exterior of the Giant Glires could not fend off the sword, and its head was directly severed!

“Excellent!”

Jia Yan turned his body in mid-air instantaneously!

Turning around, he darted back into the grass.

The headless Glires carcass fell along with him!

Plop!

The body hit the ground, making a faint noise.

Jia Yan rapidly flew toward the decapitated Glires head.

“Since you delivered it right to my doorstep, I shall enjoy this gift!”

Jia Yan’s compound eyes flickered, and with a tiny prick of his blade, he skewered the Glires head on the tip of his sword.

With this head skewered, Jia Yan delved deeper back into the grass.

Once he reached a safe area that was not easy to be discovered, the mouth needle hidden inside Jia Yan’s oral opening, which was concealed by the metal exoskeleton, suddenly shot out!

It stabbed into the Glires’ head!

Having feasted on dozens of the mysterious liquid in the heads of Giant Glires already, Jia Yan knew precisely where to find it.

Then he gave a strong suck with his mouth needle!

Zzzz!——

The same sense of comfort and refreshing feeling appeared in Jia Yan’s senses again!

A full minute passed by.

Jia Yan finally stood back up!

“As expected my best way to replenish energy is still this Mysterious Liquid!

I’ve consumed animal blood a few times since I came out of the Underground World, but I always felt a deficit in energy supply.

Now, after slightly consuming the Mysterious Liquid from a single Giant Glires, I can feel an outpour of power from every part of my body.

Clearly, the Mysterious Liquid is indeed the best nutrient for me!”

Upon returning to the Underground World, the high concentration of oxygen here along with the moderate temperature, and now his energy and physical strength fully replenished, Jia Yan felt his body functions were at their absolute peak!

Now his combat power was indeed the zenith among zeniths!

Along with the metal exoskeleton, he could well be called a ‘Killer’ now!

Jia Yan looked up at the sky around, and no more Giant Glires remained; neither was there any other Army of Weasels flying out from their nest.

The Glires’ nest seemed to have determined that sending out an army composed of a hundred Glires would be sufficient to deal with all the invaders.

Of course, they haven’t encountered Jia Yan yet.

If they do, the scene of the entire Glires’ nest hunting him in a frenzy throughout the Underground World like last time might very well replay itself!

This was still possible, Jia Yan’s purpose for coming into the Underground World was to deal with the Army of Weasels!

Now before doing this, he wanted to inspect first what exactly were these humans up to.

“Let’s go!

I’ll follow them to that cave and have a look!”

He spread his wings, and Jia Yan flew toward the cave housing the giant machinery!

While he was feeding on the Glires’ Liquid, the two representatives from the Stars and Stripes Country had already begun to climb the cave, and two soldier kings had also arrived near the cave.

But the intensity of the Giant Glires that besieged them was too large, making it impossible for them to climb the cave.

They could only constantly fight off the attacks from the air!

As for the three representatives from the Wa Kingdom, they had gone into the cave long ago, disappearing from sight!

“I must hurry in and see what the three people from the Wa Kingdom are doing.”

Jia Yan’s compound eyes flashed eerily.

Suddenly, he soared toward another location.

When he had to run away in a hurry that day from the Glires coming out in droves from their nest, he had entered the cave from a small entrance.

Now, that entrance was not far away, and moreover, there were no Giant Glires guarding that place.

Jia Yan easily snuck into this small entrance, shielded by the vegetation!

The familiar narrow view appeared before his eyes!

“Let’s go!”

Jia Yan fluttered his wings, the speed suddenly increased!

Winding through the narrow space, he quickly closed in on the few representatives from the Wa Kingdom!
