Chapter 640: Five Days Later, Mount Fuji
Chapter 640: Five Days Later, Mount Fuji
Lan Qi sat nervously in the command center, his eyes glued to the satellite images of Base 0076. He finally relaxed when he saw Su Yu emerge from the spaceship, and his brother Lan Bo's vital signs remained stable. His tense body gradually slumped in relief.
Thankfully, the Blue Star people hadn't killed his brother.
At the same time, Emperor Manina of the Solar Empire received news that Base 0076 had fallen. However, he wasn't as concerned as Lan Qi.
Manina's overall strategy was to slow down the Blue Star people's occupation. Since the strategy had been successful, losing a major base was an acceptable loss. He took note of the situation but didn't dwell on it.
In the battle for the "Third World" spring, the Skrull forces in the base surrendered, and no reinforcements were sent. Soon after, Lin Ke's portal opened in the sky, and the spatial rift above the base was swiftly sealed.
Seeing the spatial rift disappear, the Skrulls in the base lost all hope, and Cao Chengxiang and his team breathed a sigh of relief. The night's results weren't spectacular, but everything had gone smoothly.
The next task was to secure the prisoners and occupy the base. About five to six minutes later, other Great Cultivators arrived one by one, riding supersonic fighters. Since the speed of supersonic fighters far exceeded that of sixth-stage cultivators, they had switched to the fighters for the latter part of the night.
Seeing Cao Chengxiang and his team effortlessly capture the major spring, the Great Cultivators were elated.
"Wow! Your joint surprise attack was brilliant! It caught the Skrulls off guard!"
"Haha, the Skrulls won't dare send reinforcements this time."
"Securing this major spring makes our night's efforts look much better."
Over twenty Great Cultivators gathered above the "Third World" spring, chatting excitedly. Of course, they didn't forget their duties.
Once the United Government's forces arrived, they worked together to capture the prisoners and secure the base, sealing the powers of the higher-ranking prisoners before sending them to the prisoner camps.
Cao Chengxiang then said, "This base will be the last one we capture tonight. We'll regroup here at 11 PM and continue attacking the remaining springs. Everyone has worked hard tonight!"
The Great Cultivators responded politely, "Actually, it wasn't that tiring. We just had to travel and secure prisoners, with no real battles tonight."
"See you tomorrow. I hope we can reclaim more springs tomorrow."
After assisting the United Government's forces in fully securing the "Third World" spring, the Great Cultivators returned to Yunlu Mountain headquarters, preparing for the next day's battles.
Back at Yunlu Mountain, those who wanted to play the game logged in, while others absorbed spiritual energy to enhance their strength. Everyone made the most of their time, striving to improve their abilities.
Over the next five days, from November 13 to November 17, the Blue Star cultivators continued their nightly guerrilla warfare against the Skrulls.
As the number of springs in the Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains dwindled, the Skrulls' defense became more flexible. To achieve greater success, the Blue Star cultivators expanded their operations to Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
However, due to the flat terrain and sparse distribution of springs in these regions, the number of springs they could capture each night wasn't particularly high.
From November 13th to November 17th, over the course of five days, the Blue Star cultivators managed to seize 180 spirit springs, averaging 36 per day.
To date, the Blue Star cultivators have reclaimed a total of 582 spirit springs, which accounts for 15.6% of the global total.
The good news is that, by the evening of the 17th, all 517 spirit springs within the borders of the Huaxia nation, except for three major springs in the Himalayan Mountains, have been fully reclaimed!
If this trend continues, it will take them less than three months to reclaim all the spirit springs!
On the third day, Starlight Cat Chen Xing absorbed the "Spirit Squid" and joined Su Yu's combat team.
Absorbing the "Spirit Squid" increased her strength by nearly 50%, but Chen Xing didn't cause any significant changes in the battle situation.
That evening, Su Yu took the initiative to visit the prisoner camp, intending to chat with Lance's brother, Rand, to see if he could extract any vital intelligence.
However, Rand was tight-lipped, and despite Su Yu's best efforts, he couldn't extract any useful information. It was clear that this fellow wasn't planning to betray his country.
Su Yu had no intention of using harsh interrogation methods on Rand.
On the battlefield, the Blue Star cultivators and Blue Star forces showed no mercy to the enemy, but they adopted a lenient policy toward prisoners, even organizing sports events in the POW camp.
So, Su Yu didn't force Rand to reveal any secrets. Instead, he made sure Rand was well-fed and comfortable in the camp.
Five days passed, and the time arrived on November 17th.
That night, however, something significant happened.
On November 17th, Su Yu had set a deadline for the Skrulls. He had told the Skulls on the morning of the 11th that if they didn't redeem the artifacts he had taken from Skrull within seven days, he would burn them all.
But by the 17th, when the deadline arrived, Su Yu hadn't heard anything from the Skulls, and they hadn't contacted him at all.
Did the Skrulls plan to abandon these artifacts? Su Yu wasn't sure.
So that night, Su Yu prepared to go to the Skrull base and burn the artifacts in front of the Skrulls to see their reaction.
At 11:00 PM onNovember 17th, Su Yu boarded a supersonic fighter jet provided by the United Government, heading towards Mount Fuji in the Nihon nation.
Due to tectonic plate movement, Mount Fuji on the island became a giant spirit spring.
However, Mount Fuji's spirit spring was the smallest among the 24 giant springs worldwide, not much larger than the five major springs in the Himalayan Mountains.
Su Yu chose to go there because the garrison at Mount Fuji was mostly made up of the Lunkte Alliance's troops, while the main battlefield in the Himalayan Mountains was primarily occupied by the Solar Empire's regular forces.
Su Yu had initially seized these artifacts from the Lunkte National Museum, so he planned to burn them in front of the Lunkte people!
At 11:00 PM, Su Yu boarded the fighter jet from Donghai City.
Donghai City was about 1,700 kilometers away from Mount Fuji, and the 3 Mach (three times the speed of sound) fighter jet took less than half an hour to reach the destination.
At 11:28 PM, Su Yu clearly saw Mount Fuji through the jet's window, along with the Skrull base on the mountain and the Blue Star forces at the base of the mountain.
