Chapter 450: Yan Six × Tai Er √
Chapter 450: Yan Six × Tai Er √
In the Central Intelligence Agency of the Scry Star Blazing Sun Empire.
In a large conference room on the fourth floor of the headquarters building.
Minister Xiong reclined in a plush leather chair at the end of the conference table, a cup of the same Reiko Worm Juice as the emperor in his right hand, and a cigar from the Blue Star in his left.
The cigar was a tribute from the Blue Star bugs, and he thoroughly enjoyed its flavor.
On either side of the conference table sat over a dozen high-ranking officials of the Intelligence Agency.
At the moment, everyone was looking solemnly at the projection on the wall opposite the table.
The projection showed Su Yu’s live stream.
Su Yu and Tina were preparing to attack Base 1054, which the Blue Star humans had named "Yan Six."
Seeing the live stream, Leyk, the head of the Intelligence Collection Department, flattered Xiong, "Minister, your foresight is truly remarkable! You effortlessly predicted Su Yu’s next move!"
This morning at 8 AM, the minister had predicted that Su Yu would continue his attacks on bases within the Yan Mountain range in the evening, and he was right!
"A piece of cake," Xiong waved his hand dismissively, took the cigar, bit it into two pieces, and chewed it contentedly.
"Actually, it wasn’t hard to guess. After the Blue Star humans removed Base 056, they would definitely want to take out the smaller bases around it."
"Moreover, the Yan Mountains are very close to the capital of Su Yu’s nation, making it an ideal location to establish a base. Everything is within my expectations."
"Minister, you’re brilliant!"
"Minister, you’re incredible!"
"How did I not think of that? Minister, you’re amazing!"
The conference room filled with flattery.
Xiong maintained a calm exterior but was inwardly basking in the praise.
...
The live stream continued.
When Tina prepared to use the "Cross Slash" to attack the base’s protective shield, Xiong felt even more smug.
This morning, after he predicted that Su Yu would attack the smaller bases in the Yan Mountains, the emperor had already issued orders.
Now, most of the Scry Star troops had withdrawn from these smaller hot springs, leaving some "surprises" for Su Yu—high-explosive bombs!
If Su Yu accidentally triggered these bombs, even a Saint Domain expert would be in deep trouble!
Xiong took a comfortable sip of Reiko Worm Juice and waited for the fish to take the bait.
But Su Yu’s actions did not go as expected.
Su Yu placed his hand on Tina’s shoulder, "Tina, wait a moment."
"What’s wrong?" Tina turned to look at him.
Su Yu didn’t answer directly but spoke to the live stream camera, "Everyone, wait a moment. I’ll be back."
The screen went black.
After about thirty seconds, Su Yu resumed the live stream.
But the background had changed. Sharp-eyed viewers immediately noticed that the base in the live stream was no longer Yan Six.
Su Yu smiled at the camera, "Hello everyone, this is the 'Tai Er' base in the Taihang Mountains. Today, we’ll be attacking this place."
The chat was flooded with "???"
Puff!
After hearing the translation, Xiong spat out all the worm juice in his mouth, and his subordinates gaped in shock.
How could this be?
Half a minute ago, Su Yu was in the Yan Mountains, and now he’s in the Taihang Mountains? Could Su Yu have detected their plan?
The chat was filled with questions like "Is this a feint?" and "A sudden strike in the Taihang Mountains?"
Su Yu smiled and explained to the viewers:
"The Scry Star base we saw earlier was problematic. All the other legitimate bases are fully operational 'Monster Factories,' but that base was running a Psychic Energy Storage Station."
"Clearly, the people inside want to escape and take as much psychic energy back to Skrull as possible. To be safe, let's find a proper base."
The chat was flooded with "Ah, I see."
After hearing the translation of Su Yu's words, Xiweng's face turned increasingly grim.
Indeed, after the Skrull troops withdrew from the bases in Yan Mountain, it made no sense to continue using the psychic energy for the "Monster Factory."
However, the commander who ordered the evacuation had unilaterally decided to shut down the "Monster Factory" and instead run the "Psychic Energy Storage Station" at full capacity.
Su Yu was indeed remarkable, spotting the flaw at first glance.
He continued in the live stream, "There are a total of 10 psychic energy springs in the Taihang Mountains, including one large spring. There are 7 large springs in the country, and one of them is in the Taihang Mountains, located on the main peak of Xiaowutai Mountain."
"The remaining 9 are all small springs. The one we are currently at, 'Tai Er,' is located on Baidishan Mountain in Laiyuan, Ji Province."
Su Yu described the area vividly, like a tour guide.
However, he and Tina didn't slow down for a moment.
Tina unleashed a [Cross Slash] to pierce through the weak psychic shield of the Tai Er base. The two then rushed into the base, heading straight for the command center.
The Skrull commander of this base was only at the peak of the Fourth Rank.
Seeing Tina descend like a war goddess, the commander immediately knelt down, raising his hands high and stammering in broken Chinese, "Don't kill me, I surrender."
...
Xiweng couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Firefly, turn off the live stream!" he ordered the AI.
"Understood." The main AI of the intelligence department responded immediately, and the live stream was cut off.
The high-ranking officials in the intelligence department all turned to look at their minister.
Although their minister seemed to have been humiliated, they didn't dare show any disrespect. After all, a higher rank can crush you.
Xiweng felt a bit embarrassed as well.
He stood up. "I'll go see His Majesty, Manina XIII. Stay here and don't move."
About ten minutes later, Xiweng met the emperor in the palace garden, where the great emperor was playing with his concubines among the flowers.
Upon learning of Xiweng's arrival, the emperor dressed and came out to meet him.
"Xiweng, what is it?" the emperor asked, his expression slightly displeased.
"It's like this, Your Majesty," Xiweng hurriedly reported Su Yu's recent actions.
Upon hearing this, Manina XIII's eyes narrowed.
However, his focus was slightly different from Xiweng's: "To travel such a distance in half a minute, Su Yu must have used a [Long-Distance Teleportation Array]. What a remarkable technology."
Spells like [Blink], [Portal], and [Long-Distance Teleportation Array] are common on Earth, known to many mages.
But in reality, this is a highly advanced magical technology.
The Skrull civilization leans heavily towards technological development. "Spatial displacement" is a highly advanced technology, and to date, the Skrulls have not mastered it.
Thus, seeing Su Yu teleport so quickly, he was quite envious.
"So, Your Majesty, what should we do? Should we prepare the 074 Large Base (Taihang Mountain Base) for battle?" Xiweng asked nervously.
"Let me think about it," Manina XIII said, deep in thought.
