CHAPTER 444: CHAPTER 444 MILITARY BASE

Hearing Sean’s somewhat serious words, Grice immediately became much more earnest.

"Rest assured, I will lock onto them with radar in advance. As soon as he shows up, I’ll gift them with a Paralysis Bullet, and let them taste the technological might of our beautiful Federation, hahaha..."

Grice laughed heartily.

But just then, a hurried alarm sound suddenly reached his ears.

His face instantly filled with disbelief.

"Damn it, how can Xiao Zhan be so fast? He’s already entered my radar detection area," Grice said in shock.

Sean had said they would probably show up together with Xiao Zhan.

But now, the radar only showed one red dot.

Not two, not Sean and his crew.

It could only be Xiao Zhan!

"Grice, don’t hesitate, launch the interference Paralysis Bullet right away, we must not let him get close to Earthwork Mountain!" Sean, hearing the voice from Grice’s end, immediately issued an anxious command.

He had already taken into account Xiao Zhan’s explosive speed.

But he didn’t expect Xiao Zhan to be so incredibly fast!

At the same time, he sped up too, pushing himself to the limit as he raced towards Earthwork Mountain.

On Grice’s side, after hearing Sean’s order, he immediately pressed a button next to him.

As the button was pressed, in the midst of Earthwork Mountain’s dense forest, a patch of withered grass and pebbles was suddenly blown away as if being struck by an impact.

The force wasn’t great, to say it was blown apart was an overstatement, the term "popped open" would be more appropriate.

The next second, where the ground had popped open, a deep circular conduit entrance appeared.

The conduit was at a ninety-degree angle with the ground, the opening pointing straight to the sky, the walls smooth and hard, like a well, with no visible end.

But the profound and dark appearance gave off a fear-inspiring feeling at just a glance.

At the same time, following the appearance of this pit, several more such pits appeared in various parts of Earthwork Mountain.

And not long after, roaring growls came from the pits, accompanied by a slight trembling of the ground.

The next second, launchers carrying missiles rose from within the pits.

After the launchers appeared, they turned neatly. Following the radar’s scan, they immediately locked onto Xiao Zhan’s position.

The missiles raised their heads, the propellant at the tail ignited, flames spewed out, and whoosh, they were fired.

Whoosh!

Drawing a perfect parabola through the air, they shot straight towards Xiao Zhan.

Shortly, after a few seconds interval, the other pits also successively launched missiles!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Numerous missiles formed a meteor shower-like stunning spectacle in the sky.

This scene, captured on the big screen within the base, was infinitely magnified!

All the Federation members saw it.

Their eyes instantly widened!

"Holy shit, what’s this? Missiles? There were missiles hidden inside Earthwork Mountain?"

"I get it now, this must be a military base secretly constructed by the beautiful Federation!"

"I’m really speechless, we already scanned the nearby area when surveying the competition route, checking for any potential dangers, but I didn’t expect there to be fish that slipped through the net!"

"A military base? I get it, there’s probably more than missiles in there!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions twisted instantly!

They all guessed something all at once.

What’s inside Earthwork Mountain? What’s inside the base?

There were missiles.

But what else besides missiles?

Still related to the competition.

...

"Damn beautiful Federation, to build a military base here, they’ve probably got bases all over the world by now!"

A Federation member uttered with discontent.

His words made the others worry again.

With the Federation’s ghost-like capabilities, they probably really did have bases everywhere in the world.

Perhaps, in an even worse scenario, they might even have secretly built bases within their own Federation’s territory.

Thinking of this possibility sent a chill down their spines.

The gap in technology, as time marches on, indeed only grows wider!

Not closer!

"Director Qin, after this Secret Realm contest is over, we should thoroughly investigate the situation within our country," Song Chao’an said to Qin Wanfeng.

Although he trusted Qin Wanfeng’s capabilities and doubted that the beautiful Federation could have built a military base within the Longxia Federation, it was still better to conduct an investigation to be safe.

"Yes, I will comb through it all," Qin Wanfeng also responded immediately.

Regardless of whether there were any or not, it was indeed something he should comb through.

After all, it involves major Federation affairs, just to be safe.

"I wonder if Xiao Zhan can handle these missiles," Song Chao’an said worriedly.

With three Sixth Grade Spirit Masters, Song Chao’an still had some faith in Xiao Zhan, but now Xiao Zhan was also facing so many technological weapons.

His confidence wavered slightly.

Although it was said that the beautiful Federation would definitely not use weapons of mass destruction, the various restrictive energy weapons they possessed were indeed overwhelming to deal with.

Hearing this, Qin Wanfeng’s expression also became more solemn.

But he still believed in Xiao Zhan, saying, "He already knows the situation at Earthwork Mountain; since he has chosen to go, it shows that he has enough confidence."

"I really don’t know what charm Xiao Zhan has to make you, the Special Service Bureau Chief who speaks with objective data, lose your rationale," Song Chao’an looked at Qin Wanfeng and couldn’t help but comment.

"I haven’t lost my rationale; this is also based on an objective judgment of his performance," Qin Wanfeng explained.

However, his explanation clearly didn’t convince Song Chao’an.

An ’objective judgment’ based on performance was, in actuality, still mixed with subjective speculation.

On Xiao Zhan’s side.

Watching the whistling missiles quickly approaching from the sky, Xiao Zhan remained calm.

Clutching the Death Demon Scythe in his hand, he swung out a crescent moon-shaped Scythe Energy towards the missile.

But just as the Scythe Energy was about to strike the missile, it suddenly exploded, blooming into a brilliantly white and beautiful firework.

The firework scattered, turning into white dots in the sky, gently falling.

From afar, it looked like a waterfall of white streaming light.

It appeared to be an ordinary missile lacking any aggressiveness.

Xiao Zhan, however, frowned slightly, "It’s a Perception-disturbing missile, seems like it’s specifically targeted."

The Perception sent back to his brain was nothing but chaotic fluctuations, disorderly and unorganized, making it impossible to discern what was behind the light panel.

This was the disturbing effect of the missile.

Faced with this move, Xiao Zhan’s hand did not hesitate; the Demon Scythe swung up and down, emitting a cross-shaped Scythe Energy.

The Scythe Energy successfully struck the light panel, and in the moment of contact, the Death Aura carried by it immediately began devouring the light panel.
