Li Yuan's Only Friend!

"I never imagined that my first time on an airplane would be in a military helicopter..."

"And it's a journey across the sea."

Meng Qing couldn't see what the scenery was like outside. The helicopter was completely sealed inside, and apart from the two pilots, it carried a total of forty-five people.

There are also nearly seventy helicopters like these, as well as transport aircraft larger than these.

The Nine-Tailed Fox has deployed a total of 3,500 soldiers.

This includes regular mobile units, Mole Unit, and Right Hand Unit.

The Right Hand Unit was positioned at the very back of the helicopters, because Qin Leng was inside one of the helicopters at the very back.

The right wing is the main force of this mission, and it is only under the command of Qin Leng.

In Meng Qing's team, all the soldiers were fully armed, except for the leader, Nairasojin, who was not wearing a helmet.

Their combat uniforms are different from those of ordinary mobile units.

Meng Qing didn't know exactly what was special about them, but they all had a hand symbol on their chests, and in their hands they were holding a red five-pointed star.

Looking at the fully armed crowd, Meng Qing felt a sense of unease.

Not for any other reason, but because the Trident is on their helicopter!

This is really going to be a disaster!

"If nothing unexpected happens next..."

Boom!

A loud bang suddenly came from outside, the sonic boom was extremely ear-piercing!

"Something unexpected is about to happen."

Meng Qing covered his face; what he feared most had come to pass.

Nairasojin did not move upon hearing the sound, nor did the Right Hand Unit inside the aircraft.

At that moment, an urgent voice came through everyone's communicator.

"Unknown creature detected! Repeat! Unknown creature detected!"

"The other party is a humanoid creature with wings and a long tail, no facial features, and sharp horns on its head, like Fishman!"

"The exact number, I estimate, is close to a hundred!"

"The three Eastern Eagle that broke through the encirclement have suffered wing damage and have now made an emergency landing!"

"Can it hurt the other party?"

"Can!"

"Spinning in place, opening the granaries to defend against the enemy."

"Yes."

The helicopter group suddenly hovered in place, and some doors and windows opened, from which guns emerged and began to fire wildly at the monsters outside!

These monsters are few in number and are a low-level summon called Nightmare, which should have been summoned by the Fishman Priest.

They hadn't even left the border when these monsters couldn't wait to make their move.

However, this monster is not strong and its intelligence is not high. It can be easily killed. It was probably just released to delay the march.

However, if these monsters continue to harass us along the way, this trip to Africa will be delayed for at least two months.

Their original plan was for half a month, during which they estimated the landing point several times to refuel their aircraft.

This planned landing point takes into account fuel consumption in case of unforeseen circumstances along the way, as well as many other factors.

It was calculated by the O2O computer.

But there is one thing that O2O cannot estimate.

That is, how many Fishman there are in the world, and how many monsters they can summon, is an unknown.

Therefore, in order to keep the situation within the 020 prediction, all troops except the right-hand force can be abandoned.

Note that it is all.

In addition to the Mole Unit, which exists solely for sacrifice, there are also regular mobile units that serve as bait.

They had already written their wills before embarking on this journey.

Once the situation gets out of control, the bait will immediately scatter, using suicide attacks to distract the monsters and help the right hand break through to Atlantis.

Several days later.

A coastal region in Africa.

The Fishman army arrived much faster than the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Before the Nine-Tailed Fox even set foot in Africa, they had already landed on the mainland and destroyed a number of coastal areas with a great flood!

Amidst the apocalyptic tsunami, a pilgrim kneels before the towering waves, lamenting, "Has the day of judgment arrived, God...?"

Boom!

The floodwaters poured down from the sky, and the immense water pressure destroyed the buildings, causing the earth to crack and the sky to fall!

A scene of ruins.

Li Yuan walked slowly through the flooded streets, and as he walked, more and more Fishman emerged from the mud.

"The world has always told us that strength is everything. Whether that is right or wrong, nobody knows. Perhaps there has never been a right or wrong. Maybe everything is just like this."

"We are all on a vile path of enslaving others or being enslaved, a path where there are no people, only wild beasts."

"Whether for peace or for fellow countrymen, it's all just an excuse; we all are."

"You think so too, right?"

As Li Yuan spoke, he suddenly looked at a spot on the ground, where a middle-aged man was sitting.

He has no special characteristics; no matter how you look at him, he is just an ordinary person who is as ordinary as can be.

The Fishman couldn't see anything unusual about him, and neither could the humans.

But Li Yuan recognized him.

He is 003.

Wang Haonan looked up at Li Yuan, "Now I'm going to look up at you."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan stopped moving. "But you don't necessarily have to look at me, just as I don't necessarily have to look at you, just like before."

Wang Haonan leaned against the wall. "The Raven gave you the rabbit?"

"That's right."

"Then these three are for you too."

As he spoke, Wang Haonan suddenly tossed three stones to Li Yuan.

Three tentacles shot out from Li Yuan's body, directly engulfing the three stones into his body.

"The Rat that Turns Stillness into Motion, the Tiger of Yin-Yang Balance the Snake That Hides Without a Shadow —are you on my side now, old friend?"

Wang Haonan said, "No, I'm giving you these three because I don't need them, and also because of the little bit of friendship we once had."

"I will not get involved in any disputes, nor will I stop you from doing anything."

"We are different. You can do whatever you want and you dare to take action, but I don't. I will consider many things and am destined not to be as carefree as you."

"I have no comment on your plan to destroy the world with a flood, but I hope you don't mess things up."

As Wang Haonan spoke, he extended his fist, and Li Yuan also extended his fist.

However, their fists, which were vastly different in size, did not actually touch; they merely made a perfunctory gesture.

"Good luck, 002."

Where are you going?

"Away from the battlefield, just wandering around."

"Don't you want anything?"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Wang Haonan waved his hand with his back to him, "The best decision I've ever made in my life is letting go of all my obsessions and desires."

"Without these, I need nothing. Maintaining the status quo is enough."

Watching him leave, Li Yuan smiled faintly to himself.

They said they couldn't be as carefree as him, but isn't he quite carefree?

Although the three talismans that Wang Haonan gave him were useless, they were still a token of his old friend's goodwill.

Yes, Wang Haonan was the only person Li Yuan could call a friend.
