Chapter 436: The Yan Mountain Spring
Chapter 436: The Yan Mountain Spring
After about a minute, CEO Ke resumed his live stream.
The scene now showed a bustling street, not CEO Ke's home. It was 8 PM, and despite the darkness, the street was still brightly lit and crowded with people—a rare sight in a country frequently under curfew due to the ongoing war.
The passersby in the scene all turned to look at the camera, their faces frozen in shock, likely startled by CEO Ke's long-distance teleportation.
Xu Siqi, seeing the familiar street in the live stream, was taken aback. He instantly recognized it as the place where he bought late-night snacks last night.
He quickly typed a comment: "CEO Ke, is this Wangfujing Snack Street?!"
Other viewers also recognized the place and began sending comments asking for confirmation.
Su Yu smiled and explained to the chat: "That's right, this is Wangfujing in the capital. Today, we're heading to the Yan Mountains in the north of the capital. As the old poem goes, 'If only the Dragon City's flying general were here, the Tartar horses would not cross the...' Wait, something's not right here."
He realized he had used the wrong poem.
Seeing Su Yu's mistake, the chat erupted in laughter:
"Ha ha ha! Wrong poem, bro!"
"Stupid CEO Ke, it's 'Yin Mountain,' not 'Yan Mountain'!"
"Host needs to relearn elementary school Chinese."
"Should've paid more attention in class."
Feeling embarrassed by the chat's teasing, Su Yu decided to ignore it and took Tiana up into the sky.
From Xu Siqi's perspective, the live stream's view gradually ascended, shifting from a street-level shot to an aerial view.
The camera then quickly panned north as CEO Ke and Tiana flew in that direction.
During the flight, CEO Ke often gave Tiana close-up shots, much to the chagrin of the viewers, who complained about the "couple fluff."
Their flight was swift, and before long, they had flown beyond the Fifth Ring Road of the capital, where the lights below became sparse.
In the live stream, CEO Ke began introducing the specifics of the Yan Mountains:
"According to intelligence from the authorities, the Yan Mountains have a total of eight psychic springs: one large spring and seven smaller ones."
"As for their official names, the large spring is called the 'Yan Mountain Psychic Spring,' and the seven smaller springs are named 'Yan One' to 'Yan Seven.' Today, we're heading to 'Yan One.'"
Upon hearing this, Xu Siqi immediately asked in the chat: "CEO Ke, why not attack the large spring directly? Is it because the Skrull base near the large spring has a higher troop deployment and is harder to handle?"
Su Yu spotted Xu Siqi's question among the numerous comments (his question was the longest, making it easy to notice). He thought this viewer was quite perceptive, asking the right questions.
So, he made Xu Siqi a moderator and patiently answered: "The Skrull base near the large spring is definitely much stronger than those near the smaller springs. There are 3,600 small springs worldwide, but only 108 large ones."
"In terms of troop deployment, the Skrull commanders at small springs are usually between the fourth and fifth ranks, and with the base's defenses, they can handle weaker sixth-rank Saint Domains."
"However, the commanders at large springs are always sixth-rank beings, and sometimes there are more than one. Even a weaker Legendary might not be able to take them down consistently. So, we don't plan to attack the large spring."
The chat immediately flooded with comments like "Learned something new today."
Some also commented: "Taking the small springs is fine too. Accumulating little by little, surrounding the cities from the countryside."
Xu Siqi's heart raced with excitement. The boss had actually given him a moderator position? This was something he could brag about for the rest of his life!
He quickly responded in the chat, "Thank you, Boss! I'll do my best to perform well!"
Then, he swiftly banned a few accounts that were sending inappropriate messages and hurriedly took a screenshot of his new moderator status to show off in his chat group with his friends.
Watching the chat discussions, Su Yu smiled but remained silent.
In truth, his statement about not planning to go to a large spring was a lie.
His real plan for the day was to deal with "Yan One" and then head straight for the large "Yan Mountain Psychic Spring."
After all, the Skrull base's defenses were gradually being upgraded, and in the foreseeable future, the Skrulls would likely abandon smaller springs to focus on defending larger and massive ones. If he didn't act now, it would only get harder later.
So, Su Yu intended to take advantage of the Skrulls' lack of reinforced defenses and attack the large spring with Tina.
His lie to the livestream was, of course, a smokescreen.
The Skrulls might have already hacked into Earth's network and were observing his movements through the livestream.
By saying he didn't plan to go to a large spring, he could make the Skrulls let their guard down.
As time passed, Su Yu and Tina traveled north, entering the Yan Mountain range and arriving at the base of a mountain called "Great Green Mountain."
"Yan One" was located at the peak of Great Green Mountain.
At the southern foot of the mountain, there was an Earth military base.
The base was equipped with numerous armed helicopters and electronic devices, monitoring the Skrull base on the mountain top and collecting image data.
Su Yu and Tina arrived above the military base.
At that moment, a soldier wearing a fiery red "Sunny-730" military-grade mech flew out from the base and approached Su Yu.
"Hello, Comrade Su Yu! I am Zhao Hanyang, the commander of the First Army's Seventh Division of the Earth Defense Force. My troops are ready for battle," the soldier saluted from a distance.
"Hello, Commander Zhao!" Su Yu quickly returned the salute and examined the mech he was wearing. "You're already equipped? How does it feel to pilot it?"
The mech Zhao Hanyang was wearing had been captured from the Skrulls at the Yunlu Mountain base. Some Skrulls were "Psychic Mech Pilots," and their mechs naturally fell into Earth's possession after they occupied the springs.
After more than a month of research and partial modifications, the mechs were now operational.
Seeing Zhao Hanyang flying in the mech, the livestream chat exploded with excitement, refreshing at several times the previous rate!
"Whoa! The mechs are already in use?"
"This mech is so cool!"
"Wow, this is something we never thought possible before."
"I wish I could wear a mech too!"
Zhao Hanyang responded with a slightly exasperated tone, "The mechs are barely functional for now, capable of performing simple flying and patrol tasks. For combat, the physical endurance just isn't there yet."
"That's to be expected," Su Yu replied with a smile. "The Skrulls' 'Psychic Mech Pilots' are also cultivators, and they need to be very powerful to fully utilize the mechs' capabilities. If you play 'Evolution,' once the next expansion releases and your in-game strength becomes real, you'll be able to handle the mechs much more easily."
"I hope that day comes soon. I'm only at level 29," Zhao Hanyang sighed, then asked Su Yu, "Comrade Su Yu, how do you need us to assist?"
