CHAPTER 1020: CHAPTER 1027: ALL-OUT OFFENSIVE

"I..." Ling Chen opened his mouth, about to explain, but at that moment, the ringtone of his phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw that it was Hu Fei calling. Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, but still chose to answer the call.

"Hello! Fatty, what’s going on? I’m in the middle of something urgent, I’ll call you back later."

"If you wait any longer, the whole base might be gone."

Hearing this, Ling Chen’s expression changed slightly. He glanced at the heartbroken Nanrong Wanqing, turned aside, and asked, "What’s happening?"

"The God Organization has gathered a large number of people and sealed off all the surrounding roads. It looks like they’re preparing for a full-scale attack on the base. You’d better get back immediately."

"Is this really happening?" Ling Chen’s heart sank, instantly understanding the God Organization’s intention. Tonight was Tang Shiyun’s concert, and the police had allocated most of their forces to maintain order at the stadium, leaving other areas with very thin police presence. Such a good opportunity could not be missed by the God Organization.

Thinking of this, Ling Chen immediately responded, "Wait for me there, I’ll be back right away." Hanging up the phone, Ling Chen walked up to Nanrong Wanqing and said solemnly, "I have something urgent to handle, I’ll explain everything when I get back." Without waiting for Nanrong Wanqing to respond, Ling Chen started walking out.

"Stop!" Nanrong Wanqing shouted softly at Ling Chen’s back, "Ling Chen, don’t think you can make excuses to avoid this. If you don’t explain clearly today, then don’t bother explaining in the future."

"Wanqing..." Ling Chen turned his head and said helplessly, "What happened with Feifei might have been my mistake, but it was an accident, it doesn’t mean I betrayed you. I don’t have time to explain much now, but think about it yourself—have I ever done anything to wrong you since we met? Whenever you’re in danger, even if I have to risk my life, I’ll save you. Doesn’t that prove my intentions?"

"Lin told me that men change, maybe you’re the same."

"We’ve been through a lot together. If that’s not enough for you to trust me, then nothing I say will matter." Saying this, Ling Chen checked the time and said, "I really have something urgent, sorry, if you’re still willing to listen, I’ll explain everything when I get back."

Having said that, regardless of how much Nanrong Wanqing shouted, Ling Chen left without looking back.

After leaving the stadium, Ling Chen made a call to Yang Qingling and drove towards the base.

The journey from the stadium to the base took over twenty minutes, not too far. However, because of the concert, many unauthorized vehicles were parked along the roadside near the stadium, causing congestion at both sides of the road, with traffic moving very slowly.

Ling Chen kept his patience, following the traffic for several hundred meters. It took more than ten minutes to reach a clear road section.

At this time, near the base, Ji Gang had already ordered an attack.

A few trucks directly drove several pieces of heavy machinery into the construction site. Around the heavy machinery were over twenty fully armed men guarding, in case someone came to sabotage.

Through the large screen’s surveillance footage, two excavators were seen slowly moving above the base, starting to clear the surface soil. At the same time, several large drilling machines were already equipped and ready to start work at any moment.

Seeing this, Tang Guolun immediately shouted, "Fatty, have Zhou Jun prepare to act."

"Understood!"

Soon, Zhou Jun, driving the armored ironman, was transported to the surface from the freight elevator. For the past few days, Zhou Jun had been getting accustomed to this armored ironman because Ling Chen couldn’t stay at the base all the time. To handle unexpected situations, Tang Guolun specifically arranged for Zhou Jun to take over from Ling Chen as a contingency.

Zhou Jun used to belong to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, with a good skill base, young and strong, very suitable for operating this armored ironman.

Reaching the surface, Zhou Jun controlled the armored ironman, striding rapidly towards the location of the heavy machinery. Tang Guolun’s task for him was clear: destroy the God Organization’s heavy machinery to prevent them from damaging the base’s external defenses.

Seeing the armored ironman approaching, the men guarding around the heavy machinery immediately rushed to encircle the armored ironman. At the same time, they all drew their prepared crossbows, aiming at various parts of the armored ironman.

"Fire!"

With a single command, over twenty crossbows were simultaneously unleashed, sharp crossbow arrows pierced through the air with a whistle, pinning themselves to the metallic surface of the armored ironman. At the tail end of these crossbow arrows, each was tethered with a steel wire, connected to their respective crossbows.

As the crossbow arrows were secured, over twenty men vigorously pulled the steel wires in different directions, trying to use the pull to drag the armored ironman to the ground. If they could immobilize the armored ironman, the subsequent tasks would be much easier.

However, despite their well-laid plans, they overlooked the weight of the armored ironman itself. No matter how they pulled, the armored ironman remained steadfast on the ground, unmoving.

"My turn." Zhou Jun sitting in the cockpit grinned, and the two robotic arms suddenly lifted high. Instantly, driven by the steel wires, several men flew up, skimming through the air, landing heavily on the ground.

Seeing this situation, the leading man hurriedly shouted, "Retreat quickly!"

"Let’s see where you can run to." Zhou Jun, driving the armored ironman, quickly followed the group towards the location of the heavy machinery.

"Hurry, retreat quickly!" The technicians operating the heavy machinery, seeing the armored ironman rushing over, quickly signaled their companions to start the trucks, dragging the heavy machinery towards the two main buildings on the construction site.

However, the roads on the construction site were uneven, and with the heavy machinery being dragged behind, the trucks weren’t moving fast. In no time, Zhou Jun caught up to the trucks.

"Speed up, faster, speed up!" The technicians in the trucks urged anxiously.

Finally, after a bumpy ride, the trucks drove into the unfinished underground parking lot of the main building. However, as the parking lot was still under construction, it was piled with bricks and construction debris everywhere. The trucks had no where to go, and had to stop in place.

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, the armored ironman had already arrived in the parking lot.

Seeing those trucks trapped ahead, Zhou Jun couldn’t help but smile. Let’s see how you escape now!

With a quick turn of mind, Zhou Jun controlled the armored ironman, stepping forward, raising the mechanical arms high to destroy the heavy machinery on the trucks.

Seeing the armored ironman coming closer, the technicians in the trucks no longer looked panicked, but instead had cold smiles of plots succeeding in their eyes.
