Chapter 87: Chapter 87: This is the Strongest Chosen One!
This was a supersonic missile, one of the most powerful weapons of human civilization to date!
The immense contrast between this perception and reality was enough to make one feel momentarily dizzy!
As if to broaden people’s cognition further, in the distance, more and more missiles were incoming. The Blood Demon seemed to have realized that Shen Hao now possessed even more terrifying power than before, casting aside all hesitation and launching all the missiles from every exposed launch site in a frenzy!
But—
��It’s useless.” Shen Hao stood on the plane, letting the howling wind whip up his clothes and hair.
If this had been a week earlier, faced with this situation, he might have fallen into danger.
But now, his Level had reached Level 8!
With the Blue Quality equipment provided by the VIP mall, his Spirit value had even reached forty-five points!
He had anticipated that coming to this country, he would likely face the most powerful weapons ever created by human civilization.
If he didn’t have any confidence, relying solely on an Escape Talisman for saving his life, how could he dare to come here?
Trying to threaten him with missiles at this time could only be done through a sneak attack. In a situation like this, where he was already prepared and his vision was extremely broad, no amount would be of any use!
Even a barrage of anti-aircraft fire would be more effective!
His Scepter in hand, once again he waved it, and dazzling Thunder filled the space around him, each bolt brimming with abundant Extraordinary Power, roaring and spreading out in an instant.
The thunderous booms filled the entire sky.
The exploded missiles even formed a sea of fire, illuminating the entire sky!
Dazzling to behold!
“Joey, do you see this? This is the world’s strongest Chosen One! This is the world’s Savior!” one of Joey’s teammates even grabbed his arm, so excited that his whole body was trembling!
Indeed, they had lost confidence in themselves and had truly placed all their hope on one person.
But the charm of the Savior lay exactly in this.
As long as the person they looked up to did not fall, none of them would fall!
Even Joey, looking up at that figure standing amidst the Thunder at this moment, was trembling with excitement.
He didn’t know why, among the Chosen Ones, this one could be so powerful, but just knowing this real strength in front of his eyes was enough!
The missiles were finally swept clean, and the space regained its clear blue once again, with only the falling dust and debris telling the tale of what had just happened. But as the transport plane steadily landed, everyone inside the military base stood at attention.
Though the crisis was resolved, the problems it had exposed were too numerous.
They didn’t even know how to explain themselves to the Savior who had come from afar.
When Shen Hao jumped out of the plane, General Roger was the first to greet him.
“I represent West State in welcoming your arrival, please…”
“What just happened?” Shen Hao interrupted him, “Not only was our flight route and arrival time exposed, but we also lost over four hundred missiles, which is different from the intelligence you’ve shared with us.”
His expression was clearly dissatisfied.
It wasn’t that he was really angry, but his attitude needed to be made clear.
This war, after all, was a civilization war that could not be isolated from the participation of others.
If it’s always like this, what’s the difference between them and the dragging armies of the neighboring countries?
Shen Hao also needed to reassess the danger level of this region.
After hearing the translation, a twitch was clearly visible at the corner of General Roger’s eye, but in the end, he could only tell the truth: “It’s a traitor. We have a traitor among us. They were not parasitized, so it went undetected, exposing not only the SAGE system’s launch locations but even leaking the launch codes. However, we are actively investigating, and such a situation, where we’re completely unaware, will absolutely not happen a second time! Please believe in our ability.”
“A human traitor?” Shen Hao looked at him deeply, “Such things, once they happen once, there will be more.”
This was not hard to guess.
Previously, a batch of Spirit Testing Balls had been successfully transported, and their strongest Chosen One had also opened the Level 5 Mall, where he could purchase Spirit Testing Balls.
Screening would have already been carried out on important departments and locations.
Under these circumstances, for such a thing to happen, the likelihood of human traitors was the greatest.
After all, unlike the Eastern Country, they had fallen into despair under the terrible situation, and one must not overestimate some people’s resolve in a state of despair.
However, Shen Hao was not about to be scared off now, but some plans must indeed be changed.
“Weapons, production lines, materials, ability balls, all these I will still hand over to you. But, my team members need to be involved in the transportation throughout the entire process to ensure they get to where they’re supposed to go. In addition, we want to have the highest access to your intelligence, deeply participate in the national intelligence aggregation, and possess tactical authority…” Shen Hao unmercifully laid out a series of demands.
Sweat had begun to bead on General Roger’s forehead.
It was only after the interpreter had finished speaking that, after a long pause, he said slowly, “Mr. Shen, I personally have no objections to these matters, but I think you could trust our people more, such as Joey. His Level has already reached Level 5 and he possesses a very powerful Blue Talent. With better equipment, his strength would not be inferior to your team members.”
“Level 5?”
Shen Hao turned around and saw the thirteen people standing neatly in line.
In the middle stood Joey.
This country had promoted him as the “real-life Captain of the West State,” not to mention, he did bear some resemblance in appearance.
“Ruoxi.”
“Present!” Liu Ruoxi responded promptly.
“Swap your equipment and test his strength.”
“Yes!” Liu Ruoxi immediately understood Shen Hao’s intention, took off her own equipment, and replaced it with the original Tang Sword she carried as a protective charm.
Joey suddenly became somewhat solemn.
He knew that Mr. Shen’s team members were all very strong, but Miss Liu Ruoxi had become a Chosen One by virtue of her top-notch beauty and wasn’t a warrior to begin with.
Even after experiencing combat, it had only been half a month.
But he was not just a top-tier soldier; he also had the Blue Talent of the Wind Spirit.
Being both Level 5, he didn’t think he could lose.
“My Talent is very strong in both offense and defense,” Joey stepped forward, holding a dagger. In an instant, a violent wind howled, rapidly enveloping Liu Ruoxi.
The strength of the Blue Talent was indeed evident.
However, Shen Hao shook his head internally.
Immediately, he knew that Joey was going to lose.
Sure enough, Liu Ruoxi did not give him any time to react. With one slash, she broke through the raging wind and appeared behind Joey in a flash. Her long sword pierced through the protective barrier of air he had wrapped around himself, the blade pressing close to his skin.
The whole place fell dead silent.
The crowd, who had all been ready to cheer for their captain, didn’t even get started.
Even Joey himself was completely stunned on the spot.
He hadn’t even begun to comprehend how he had lost! His pride in his combat skills, dagger fighting ability, and even his response as a top-level soldier were utterly useless. The entire fight ended in a blink of an eye.
No, it couldn’t even be called a fight, because he hadn’t had a chance to react!
“It’s apparent that you’ve protected him very well.” Shen Hao looked back at Roger, his voice coming through with unmistakable clarity, “He hasn’t had much experience fighting against Advanced Blood Demons, right? Or perhaps he’s used modern weapons more.”
“That, that…” Roger was completely taken aback by the outcome and only after a long pause did he manage to squeeze out a sentence, “The Blood Demons here are a bit different.”
“Once Blood Demons reach Level 5, the efficiency of ordinary individual weapons simply can’t compare to the power of a strong Chosen One.” Shen Hao stated bluntly, “He might be a competent soldier, but he is not a powerful Chosen One. He has yet to switch his combat thinking, and his use of Talent has not been fully explored. This might work for now but, as Blood Demons increase in Level, extraordinary combat should be the main fighting style for a Chosen One!”
Actually, from the moment Shen Hao noticed that Joey was still fully armed with machine guns, hand grenades, and other weapons, he had already guessed the outcome.
Yang Jun had stopped using these weapons a long time ago.
The West State considered Joey an important figure in the Level 5 Mall, and what they made him do most was piloting fighter jets to bomb around for points, barely giving him the opportunity to fight against Advanced Blood Demons. Even the application of his Talent was so elementary.
The spreading gale faced with a Swordsman skilled in pinpointing weaknesses was completely suicidal.
Actually, it wasn’t just Joey.
Even other Chosen Ones highly depended on weapons in their fights against Blood Demons, because at low Levels, their Talents were not necessarily more effective than bullets. When Blood Demons wielding twenty guns charged, all they could do was fire from afar.
However, this was totally wrong.
Therefore, Shen Hao didn’t have much hope for the fighting power of this country’s Chosen Ones, at least not in the short term, because this wasn’t a matter of Level or a problem with equipment and ability balls but one of combat thinking.
“Do everything as I say,” Shen Hao turned around again and continued forward, “I certainly do not wish for the weapons and equipment I provide to fall into the hands of Blood Demons halfway through.”
“…”
Roger was at a loss for words and could only follow along.
In fact, before this event, their focus on Chosen Ones had been more on the mall.
They were aware that some Chosen Ones had extraordinary Talents with great potential, but at least when they were low-Level and faced modern-firepower-wielding Blood Demons, they seemed somewhat inadequate.
But now, such words had no weight.
Because just now, they had witnessed the power of Shen Hao, the strongest Chosen One!
