Chapter 196

Following Qin Su's instructions, the soldiers of the 27th Military District of Lasefeiting Planet, who were stationed in War Zone 1, suddenly saw the Warship belonging to the Fourth Military Academy appear in the sky as if it had flashed by. Looking up through the almost completely transparent Visual Helmets, they could clearly see Qin Su's cold and hard profile, and their minds went blank for a moment.

"...!"

"Rumor has it that he used his own Optical Brain to control the Warship, pushing its speed to its absolute limit, achieving lightning-fast speeds."

Upon recognizing Qin Su as the person in the sky, the soldiers of the 27th Military District did not relax much; on the contrary, they became even more tense.

The soldiers from the 27th Military District who were summoned by Qin Su were all of superior overall strength. At this moment, Qin Su appeared here, but the group of soldiers who had been summoned did not appear. It was obvious that they could not keep up with Qin Su 'Qin Su speed and had been left far behind by him.

If Qin Su wanted them to do something right now, they... simply couldn't meet Qin Su demands.

Because Qin Su was far beyond the realm of being human, the soldiers left behind in the 27th Military District, who had become less confident, spontaneously remained silent. On one hand, they were wary of the infected individuals in the distance, who were in a state of Living Dead emitting eerie screams, and on the other hand, they secretly observed Qin Su in the sky above.

Less than three seconds after Qin Su appeared, the soldiers of the 27th Military District collectively heard an irresistible command coming from the Full-Band Communication.

"Move all weapons from 1-L Warehouse to the designated location within five minutes."

The sound was still ringing in their ears when everyone in the 27th Military District saw a map pop up on their Optical Brain.

There are people on the StarNet who edit Qin Su's voice recordings, and for whatever reason, some people have heard Qin Su's voice to some extent.

Moreover, besides Qin Su, they couldn't think of anyone else so arrogant as to be able to silently pull them all into the same Communication Channel and dare to target L Warehouse, which was not explicitly stated but was known to everyone as a War Zone 1 to store supplies for the big shots as a reward.

Only...

Did Qin Su's superiors know about what he did?

"Yes."

Unable to contact their superiors, Qin Su was the unanimously recognized 'Chief Commander' by the supervisors through internal directives. Not only was the title of 'Qin Su' legitimate, but the mere mention of his name itself made his position illegitimate, and they dared not be the first to disobey Qin Su.

Regardless of what the soldiers left behind were thinking, their words and actions were in unison, and they headed to 1-L Warehouse without hesitation.

With Qin Su there, they weren't worried about the fact that no one was left to guard the War Zone 1. They were so eager to leave that they were practically itching to do so.

Away from Qin Su's sight, the soldiers of the 27th Military District, who had been holding back their words, gathered in small groups according to their social circles as the Transport machines moved their weapons, and poured out their grievances like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.

"I can't imagine what kind of expression our Major will have on his face when he comes back and finds his 'home' has been 'robbed'."

"I wonder what's going on in the neighboring War Zone 3? I hope their 'home' gets raided too."

"Be bold, let's hope Qin Su sneaks into all 36 War Zones."

"Then you're destined to be disappointed."

"What's up? Do you have any inside information?"

"No, because the War Zone 36 occupied by Leichakan had nothing for Qin Su to raid."

"..."

At that moment, the group of people who had been speaking in hushed tones fell silent.

The person in charge of this battle in Leichakan is known for Leichakan Planet integrity and incorruptibility. She can't interfere with other planetary military Military District taking advantage of this opportunity to make money, but in this war in Leichakan, she keeps a close eye on the supply chain. Unlike the Military District on other planets, which are far from the central War Zone and independent of each other, there is not much room for manipulation in the data on the consumption of supplies reported.

"I hope that one day when I'm promoted to Major and out on a mission like this, I won't be unlucky enough to run into Qin Su."

"Add one."

Seeing the people from the 27th Military District disappear from view from behind the Visual Helmet, Qin Su controlled the Warship to leave its original location and head to the next location, waiting for the remaining teams from various War Zones to empty their 'assets' and transport them over.

In order to end the Living Dead Virus as soon as possible, he has spent countless Life Points, real Star Coins, and real-world money on things such as Vaccine storage and traveling back and forth between the Real World and the Comic World Real World land at designated locations. Now he is jealous and can't stand seeing others do well.

They especially couldn't stand seeing themselves being "generous despite being poor," while others who came to support them could take "souvenirs" back with them.

He emptied their pockets without hesitation.

While waiting, Qin Su adjusted the magnification of his Visual Helmet to the maximum, observing the army belonging to the Ossotalia Empire within his field of vision.

Countless Warships were stacked on top of each other to form a huge spherical object. Outside the Warships was a defensive barrier that shimmered with a faint black light.

From his perspective, Qin Su saw a huge, spherical object suspended high in the sky, emitting a faint black light.

At the bottom of the spherical object, Warships were seen moving in and out in a regular pattern.

Leichakan surrounded the residential areas occupied by the Ossotalia Empire, dividing them into 36 War Zones in a circular pattern according to the extent of the infected population.

Based on the distance of each War Zone from the source of the Doom473 Virus release, War Zone 1 is the War Zone closest to the source, which is the airspace where the troops dispatched by the Ossotalia Empire are stationed.

The Ossotalia Empire's army appeared without warning, choosing Hyperspace Jump located in the lower part of the sky above what was formerly the Visana Town, home to 150,000 people.

Due to a combination of factors, including technology and the economy, most ordinary residents of the Leichakan Planet still live on the ground. When the Osotaria Spaceship forcibly Hyperspace Jump to their location, they were affected by the shockwave. Only a few residents managed to evacuate using vehicles that had not yet lost their functionality in the shockwave.

According to Leichakan's statistics, after the Ossotalia Empire's army cut off the Servers in the Visana Town, there were still approximately 50,000 elderly, weak, and young residents who were unable to evacuate.

Two-thirds of the residents were evacuated when the anomaly occurred, representing the largest number of people that the Visana Town, which had been tempered by several small wars, could evacuate in a very short period of time.

The Ossotalia Empire's army used the lives of only 50,000 residents stationed below its airspace as leverage to prevent the planetary armies supported by the Federation from taking any rash actions.

The Federation's 36 War Zones have ostensibly surrounded the Ossotalia Empire's base, temporarily cutting off the energy field in the airspace where Osotaria is located, preventing Osotaria from Hyperspace Jump away, and showing a tendency to encircle and annihilate it.

They are secretly Tunnels beneath the Visana Town, waiting for the underground machinery to complete the Passageway and evacuate the trapped residents of Visana Town so they can launch a raid.

Based on the distance and speed calculations, it will take approximately ten more days to complete the excavation.

During this period, Warships carrying the Doom473 Virus were continuously transported out from beneath layers of black protective shields and dropped into the Visana Town, spreading outwards. Many residents of Visana Town were discovered and bitten by the Living Dead, unfortunately becoming members of the Living Dead army.

Before some of the residents who were bitten were completely transformed, they were discovered and taken away by Federation frontline soldiers because of their resident status. They then bit and scratched the frontline soldiers, causing internal Virus transmission in different War Zones. This was an important factor in the initial expansion of the Virus infection range.

Before the remaining residents of the Visana Town were evacuated, the soldiers, forced into a temporary defensive posture, could only continue fighting the Living Dead army. According to the plan agreed upon by the various War Zones, once the residents were safely evacuated, they could launch a swift and decisive annihilation campaign without worrying about shells injuring innocent local residents, and wipe out the layers upon layers of Osotaria's stationed troops.

Ten days is too long.

According to the Apocalypse World Zombie data provided by his Parents, the Zombie Virus mutates very quickly. Qin Su was unsure what new strain Doom473 would mutate and evolve into if the war dragged on for another ten days. He also didn't want the Federation to obtain more information about the Living Dead Virus. The sooner he resolved the Doom473 Virus war, the sooner he could feel at ease.

Based on the images of the Ossotalia Empire's army he had previously seen, the Osotaria soldiers, from top to bottom, carried Doom473 Virus on their bodies at all times, ready to be injected. Clearly, every soldier who brought countless Prisoners here was prepared to die.

From the conversation among the Osotaria soldiers, they already knew that the Federation was Tunnels to relocate the residents of the Visana Town who hadn't had time to evacuate. They also planned to act before the Passageway were completed, mass-injecting the Virus into the residents underground to force the Federation to take action.

An army that has undergone professional training and then been injected with the Virus, coupled with its 'self-destructive' actions, is far more powerful than the Prisoner have been injected with the Virus and released in recent days.

If that's the case, it seems there's no difference for the Ossotalia Empire's army whether the injection is given early or late.

Moreover, Qin Su, with his own dark psyche, reasoned that if the Empire could guess what they were doing, he didn't believe that the group of old foxes currently under house arrest in the Quarantine Zone wouldn't guess that the Empire could also guess their actions under these circumstances.

But they showed no intention of changing their plan, or rather, given the current situation, they were powerless to change it and could only continue operating.

Even if something goes wrong in the end, when it is revealed, in the eyes of the world, the Federation will have tried its best, but it just didn't have enough time. The Federation will be condemned, but the condemnation will not be too strong. The blame will be placed on the fact that the Ossotalia Empire was too brutal, and the Federation will be heartbroken but powerless to do anything about it.

The Ossotalia Empire, with a history older than the Federation, was notorious for its bloodshed and brutality, and such condemnation had no effect on it.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Hearing the commotion behind him, Qin Su snapped out of his thoughts, adjusted the scope on his Visual Helmet to his desired level, and turned around ahead of time.

Several Warships from different War Zones, carrying countless weapons, converged on Qin Su's location from all directions.

At first, the teams remaining in each War Zone only thought that their own War Zone was being targeted by Qin Su, and they were quite uneasy. As they got closer and closer to the coordinates designated by Qin Su, and saw that everyone was being treated equally by Qin Su, their anxious hearts gradually calmed down.

'Oh, so everyone's the same? That scared them to death.'

Under Qin Su's chilly gaze, the people from each Military District placed the supplies at the locations Qin Su had designated for them.

Looking at the weapons laid out on the ground, a sight that could be described as 'endless,' the armies of each War Zone were speechless.

Regardless of their inner thoughts, faced with Qin Su's chilling, scrutinizing gaze, they dared not ask or say anything more, remaining as quiet as chickens.

Upon seeing the weapons brought by the armies from various planets gathered together, the soldiers of the 27th Military District: "..."

'As expected of the Chief Commander, his fairness is impeccable.'

If it were only their War Zone 1 being targeted by Qin Su, they would be trembling with fear. Now, 35 War Zones are being targeted by the team...

They immediately became calm and composed.

[Qin Su's response: Whatever this nonsense, I'll gladly accept it all.]

[Wrong, it should be "cold storage" (doge emoji)]

[When Vision makes a mistake, he's timid and hesitant; when a group of people make a mistake, they're unreasonable and yet arrogant.]

[27th Military District: What? So we're all the same? You should have said so earlier, it scared me to death!]

[A team from various Military District raiding each other's bases: hehe]

[The overseers whose bases were raided: Hehe]

[Looking forward to the leaders returning from their confinement room and finding the house bare (doge)]

Through the Visual Helmet- mounted scope, one could see soldiers from both the left and Leichakan War Zone rushing towards the same direction with countless supplies in the War Zone 36: "..."

"If you don't understand, just ask. What are they doing? Why haven't we received any messages? And no one is responding to our messages?"

"I don't know, but one thing is certain: we've been ignored once again."

"Be confident. They're isolated. Just by looking at this commotion, you can tell Qin Su is leading them on a mission. They're really lucky."

"No, it's clearly our territory, why don't they ever take us with them?"

"Then why don't you go ask?"

"... No, thank you."

The people of the War Zone 36, in their habitual fit of anger, remained obediently on the front lines, taking turns to engage in battle, aiming their weapons at the Living Dead Fleets that was fearlessly attacking them from their Warships, which were controlled by fixed processes.

Listen to me, you can't play like this.

[To be honest, you guys really can't take this kind of joke (laughing and crying)]

[Other War Zones: Do you want this good fortune?]

Judging by the time, the group of people coming from the Quarantine Zone should be arriving soon. Since they didn't need to be involved in the following matters, Qin Su told the team in front of him to return to their respective posts and continue their defensive duties.

Upon hearing Qin Su's order, the troops from each Military District scrambled to get ahead, moving with incredible speed.

Fearing that if they were even a second too slow, they would have to share with Qin Su the infamy of "disregarding the lives of nearly 50,000 people in the Visana Town, using brutal and cold-blooded methods to forcibly annihilate the army of the Ossotalia Empire, and behaving no different from the tyrant of the Ossotalia Empire".

This was the first thought that came to them when they saw Qin Su sweep away countless privately hoarded weapons from various War Zones and place them in an area close to the Ossotalia Empire's army garrison.

With such a massive number of weapons, they couldn't think of any other possibility than to use overwhelming force to annihilate the Ossotalia Empire's army.

This will inevitably affect the remaining residents of the Visana Town, located below the Ossotalia Empire's military base.

They no longer seemed as envious of those chosen by Qin Su as they had been at the beginning.

[I'm speechless. Why do you always assume Qin Su is malicious?]

[Try to understand, the current situation forces you to think more deeply.]

[While no one was watching, Xuan Jingcheng had already used the excuse that his own Warship was broken to successfully board the Warship where He Muzhi was. Tsk tsk, Xuan Jingcheng's tricks against He Muzhi are truly masterful. He Muzhi has let a wolf into his house, hehe.]

On the Warship where He Muzhi, Xuan Jingcheng, fearing that others would notice something amiss, did not approach He Muzhi too closely after boarding the Warship. Instead, he stood on the right side of the Warship, his eyes silently fixed on He Muzhi, who was standing at the same level on his left. He temporarily put aside the fact that he had been unable to contact the Empire since leaving the Quarantine Zone.

Everything he did was to get closer to He Muzhi. Now that He Muzhi was right in front of him, even if he wanted to annoy Qin Su, he had tried his best. Unfortunately, the Empire was uncooperative and could not receive the messages he sent. All the consequences were none of his business.

Besides, even when he was assigned to Leichakan, this godforsaken place, he never thought of leaving the Federation for the Ossotalia Empire, or genuinely caring about their victory... There was no need. Even if it was a betrayal, he just wanted to take the opportunity to accumulate some merit and find a way to leave Leichakan and go to a planet closer to Saint Parknia Planet, where the Fourth Military Academy was located.

--

At the same time, even without receiving a message from Xuan Jingcheng, people at the Ossotalia Empire Garrison soon discovered that countless soldiers were Transport weapons to the same location.

The soldiers on the perimeter patrol quickly reported the discovery.

"Whatever." McCarthy replied nonchalantly to the report, his bulging eyes fixed excitedly on the Prisoner had become invincible after being injected with the Doom473 Virus. His voice was manic. "It's only a matter of time. Those idiots in the Federation think we know nothing about their Tunnel. How laughable! We were just trying to fool them. With these people going down with us, it's all worth it. It's an honor for both of us to participate in this great undertaking of shaking the foundations of the Federation."

They just didn't expect the Federation to lose patience so quickly. With about ten days left before the Tunnel was completed, they were already desperate and wanted to carry out bombing.

Fry it up! Fry it as much as you can!

Once it began, the Federation disregarded the lives of the local inhabitants of Leichakan Planet, causing countless residents to die tragically in the cold and brutal gunfire. The news of using innocent lives to obtain medals for victory in the war quickly spread throughout the world.

The federation is united by the civil rights of citizens on each planet, which form the cornerstone of its Federation. It is not an indestructible alliance.

--

Less than thirty seconds after the teams from various War Zones responsible for staying behind left, teams from the distant Quarantine Zone began to arrive one after another.

Regardless of which War Zone of war the troops arrived in, they all showed the same shock when they saw the mountains of weapons piled up on the ground.

'No, how come Qin Su completely devoured all the superiors' post-battle treats in just a short time?'

Among the crowd, many were family members who were entitled to the 'sweet treat,' and their gazes toward Qin Su varied. There were also many members who were not on this chain of interests and were indignant about it. Those who had never dared to speak up before were secretly pleased. Of course, there were also some who were numb with the attitude of 'whatever you higher-ups do, anyway, the benefits won't fall on people like us.'

Qin Su was used to the strange looks he received from those around him. He pretended not to notice them, but took the opportunity to glance at the Warship where He Muzhi was.

When Qin Su saw Xuan Jingcheng, who was supposed to be traveling alone on the Leichakan Warship, appear on the Warship where He Muzhi was, there was not a trace of surprise in his eyes.

Given Xuan Jingcheng's personality, Qin Su would only be truly surprised if he wasn't on the same Warship He Muzhi.

Qin Su patiently waited for about thirty seconds until all the teams had assembled, then sent the next phase of the plan to the Optical Brain of everyone on site except for Gallagher and others who were responsible for guiding them.

After confirming from the main control screen that all recipients were in viewing mode, Qin Su followed up in Full-Band Communication to confirm again. "Did you all understand?"

"Clear!"

The response was soft, but the tone was solemn.

Qin Su divided the Visana Town into different sections centered on the Ossotalia Empire's military encampment, each corresponding to a team number assigned to them by Qin Su.

More importantly, this new action plan not only marked the coordinates and scope of their operation, but also detailed a series of actions clearly aimed at rescuing hostages, such as a carpet search, guidance, and transportation between teams within the group.

Within their respective areas, the search is conducted in three rounds.

All of this indicates that the reality was not what they had imagined when they saw this large quantity of weapons. Qin Su did not coldly disregard the lives of nearly 50,000 residents of the Visana Town and intend to launch a bombing campaign without any regard for their safety.

Having no courage to disobey Qin Su's orders, they no longer had to worry about being condemned by the world for joining Qin Su in indiscriminately killing innocent people.

Only...

There are two questions.

How could Qin Su be certain that the Ossotalia Empire's troops stationed overhead wouldn't attack them while they arrived in the Visana Town to conduct the search and rescue operation, as ordered by Qin Su?

How can we prevent the Osotaria army from recklessly bombing the townspeople and dragging tens of thousands of them down with them?

After carefully confirming the response, Qin Su said, "All teams must arrive at their designated waiting areas within five minutes and await my notification to proceed."

Knowing he wouldn't be able to get any screen time with the Protagonist Group for a while, Qin Su didn't turn off the solo Comic Capture Camera. He left without another word, turned the Warship around to look in the direction of the Ossotalia Empire's army encampment, and disappeared from everyone's sight at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Everything is ready, except for him.

"Yes!"

At their respective speeds, three minutes wasn't a long time. Moreover, each team's transport squad had to replace their current combat-ready Warships with Transport Warships equipped with protective shields underneath. They dared not delay, and upon hearing Qin Su's order, they immediately set to work without hesitation.

The page that the Optical Brain opened was so obvious that Xuan Jingcheng immediately realized that he had been excluded.

When Xuan Jingcheng first noticed, he thought Qin Su had discovered something was wrong with him. It wasn't until he saw Gallagher and his group also peeking around that he realized he had scared himself. His heart gradually calmed down, and he saw the densely packed group in front of him scatter like streaks of light as Qin Su left.

He Muzhi was a member of the search and rescue team, so there was no need to change to a Transport Warship. He controlled the Warship and sped along the direction in which Qin Su disappeared until it reached the undetermined coordinates and stopped. He looked toward the direction where the Ossotalia Empire's army was stationed, his whole body tense and holding his breath in anticipation.

Within the outermost defensive zone of the massive, black-glowing protective shield, the soldiers on the Warships simultaneously saw the words "Level One Alert!" glowing red on their respective Warship panels. Before they could even process what was happening, they caught a glimpse of the layers of protective structures behind them being affected by something, causing countless Warships to shake and capsize in succession.

Through the Visual Helmet see the Passageway rushing out in a straight line behind him. His pupils constricted, and he muttered to himself, "Just now... what just passed by?"
