Chapter 436 - 285: Airplane? Nuke? Fight
Wang Qiang first met with Wang Ziru, who then led him to the rooftop.
At that moment, Lin Qi was adjusting the stand for the Widowmaker. It needed to be secured to the ground.
Wang Qiang’s expression was as utterly grave as it was the last time he had met Lin Qi. He said, "The Moon Worshipers will arrive in about twenty minutes. Judging by their speed, I’m certain they’ve acquired a civilian airliner from the Southeast Asian Region."
"There’s still time to evacuate. The Moon Worshipers can’t pinpoint your exact location; they’re only coming to the Mo University Camp because of an earlier intelligence leak."
Wang Qiang was still trying to persuade him one last time.
But Lin Qi paid him no mind. After securing the Widowmaker, he finally looked up at Wang Qiang and asked, "Do you know how to use a sniper rifle?"
Lin Qi patted the body of the Widowmaker, as if he intended for Wang Qiang to use it.
Wang Qiang froze for a moment, then nodded, but remained doubtful. "It’s difficult to handle Tier Three Moon Worshipers with ordinary firearms. Given a Tier Three Awakened’s reaction speed, landing a hit is nearly impossible."
Lin Qi corrected him. "This isn’t an ordinary firearm. It’s an S-Class weapon, powerful enough to effectively harm even a Tier Four Extraordinary."
An S-Class weapon!
This wasn’t the first time Wang Qiang had heard the term. The weapon Lin Qi had used to kill the Tier Three Monster before was also an S-Class weapon.
However, compared to the S-Class weapon Lin Qi had shown him before, this gun-shaped weapon seemed rather plain and simple.
Wang Qiang’s gaze finally locked onto the frame of the Widowmaker.
Lin Qi then began to lay out his plan. "You’ll be using this sniper rifle. Try to pick off the Tier Three Moon Worshipers. The bullets are custom-made, and there are only ten of them, but that should be enough."
"It has a built-in aim-assist system and a penetrating scope that uses target-return imaging. Its effective kill range is about ten kilometers..."
As Lin Qi was briefing Wang Qiang, about a hundred kilometers away from the Mo University Camp and at an altitude of over a thousand meters, a medium-sized civilian airliner was making its way toward them on an erratic course.
"About a hundred kilometers to the target. Visually recalibrate our heading!"
"Our heading is fine. Just follow the highway below, and we’ll be in Modu soon."
"This is too much of a hassle. This whole gathering has cost every Blood Moon Envoy here at least five days. Five days per person... with more than ten of us, that’s two months! That’s enough time for the Blood Moon to fully recover! It’s going to make the Blood Moon Envoys of the Asian Region fall seriously behind the other continents..."
"Did a Dragon Country teacher teach you math? Forget it, I’m not arguing with you. We must be cautious. This might not go as smoothly as you imagine. The Dragon Country government is mysterious, and the Mo University Camp is very likely their handiwork."
"You Blood Moon Envoys from the Dragon Country region are pathetic. On average, it only took us twelve days to complete the Rite of Arrival for our entire countries. Now, there are hardly any Blood Moon Envoys left in Dragon Country, and you’re even calling us for backup. Utterly useless!"
"You mother—"
Inside the aircraft’s cockpit, three Tier Three Moon Worshipers—or, to be more precise, Blood Moon Envoys—were gathered.
Two of them were speaking a language from the Southeast Asian Region, while one spoke Mandarin. Though they conversed in entirely different languages, it miraculously didn’t hinder their communication in the slightest.
Jin Wei, the Mandarin-speaking Blood Moon Envoy, was rendered speechless by the other two’s comments.
’Do you really think Dragon Country is like one of your tiny nations that you can measure out on foot?’
’Do you really think the Dragon Country government is as useless as yours, putting up no resistance to the apocalypse?’
’Besides, if they weren’t traitors to humanity, was having your entire country fall in just twelve days really something to be proud of from their old perspective?’
Jin Wei took a deep breath to calm himself, thinking, ’I came from Dragon Country, after all. Even if I betrayed humanity, I’m still the one with the most strategic vision among the Moon Worshipers on this plane. I can’t stoop to their level. The mission comes first!’
After this moment of self-reassurance, Jin Wei continued to stress, "I must emphasize this again: our target is the person in charge of the Mo University Camp, a man named Lin Qi. We currently don’t have a description of him."
"However, according to intelligence I intercepted, he very likely possesses power at or above Tier Three and has a history of killing Tier Three Aggregated Monsters."
"On top of that, he’s a scientific genius. He’s the one who launched the device that the Dragon Country Command Headquarters is using to delay the Blood Moon’s awakening."
"We must be cautious in our operation and ensure he is killed. To be safe, we must wipe out the Mo University Camp and all the other camps in the Modu Region."
"We would rather kill the wrong person than let our target escape. The timing of the Blood Moon’s awakening depends on this!"
If anyone from the Headquarters had heard this conversation, they would have learned that Jin Wei was the mastermind behind this operation. He was also the one who had previously tried to contact all the Moon Worshipers in the country by hacking into the railway system.
Furthermore, his statements would have revealed that the Blood Moon Envoys were not acting under the direct guidance of the Blood Moon itself.
The Blood Moon’s state of awakening was still low; the deployment of the Tier Five Extraordinary Items had significantly impacted it.
Unfortunately, the only ones who could hear Jin Wei were his fellow Moon Worshipers.
Although the other two Moon Worshipers mocked the incompetence of their Dragon Country counterparts, they still took the intelligence Jin Wei provided seriously.
They didn’t dare to underestimate the Dragon Country government. Once you pushed the Dragon Country People into a corner, they were capable of anything.
