In nature, the food chain is predetermined; it has been formed naturally over hundreds of millions of years, and all organisms maintain the rules that time has set for each other.

However, in the complex world of humanity, everyone has their own disguise, and it is difficult to figure out who is the hunter or who is the prey.

When Kamiyo Yunhe dragged Qing Chen barefoot through the snow, he could never have imagined that he would end up like this.

They would never have imagined that this former prey would endure until now with absolute tenacity, all for this revenge.

The anti-gravity device on the Abyss had begun to reduce its power, and the A-Class Airship was flying at an angle toward the ground as if it had gone out of control.

Just then, Kamiyo Yunhe seemed to remember something. "No, we can't descend! We absolutely can't descend! Full engine power, fly to the nearest military base!"

Kamishiro Yunxin looked at Kamiyo Yunhe: "Do you know what you're doing?"

"I am well aware of this," Kamiyo Yunhe replied calmly.

Kamishiro Yunxin: "Shadow's mole hacked into the combat system of the fighter jet in front, and two of the jets were destroyed. If he wins on the last one, we'll be sitting ducks in the sky!"

Before the battle was even completely over, infighting broke out inside the Abyss.

Kamishiro Yunxin pointed angrily at the ceiling and said, "Those two people up there, one is a lightning-type Awakened, and the other is a force field Awakened. You should have seen the effect of them working together in the sky. Drones can't do anything to them, and tracking missiles can't do anything to them either. Now, without long-range escort from fighter jets, we're just lambs to the slaughter in the sky."

Kamishiro Yunxin: "Once we land, we might be able to form a defensive line with heavy machine guns on the ground and hold out until reinforcements arrive. But in the air, if his demonic ability, which carries its own EMP bombs, gets close to the Abyss, we'll all fall and suffocate in this metal can!"

This analysis is correct. The combined ability of Qing Chen and Yang Yang is practically a bug when the enemy makes no specific preparations.

This is also why Qing Chen invited Yang Yang to help him.

Just as Kamishiro Yunluo said, Qing Chen had been waiting for the past seven days, waiting for Kamiyo Yunhe to board the airship.

He was originally supposed to stay up for three more days before the memorial service in City 21.

But Kamishiro Seisho brought the plan forward.

Qing Chen even wanted to thank Kamishiro Seisho, otherwise his dark circles would probably be bigger than his face.

At this moment, Qing Chen and Yang Yang are in the air, which is fatal.

If they land, then those two B-Class fighters are not actually as much of a threat as imagined; it's just that their electronic components are no match for them.

It's important to know that, in addition to the 24 war robots, the Abyss also contains a company of 180 soldiers.

Kamiyo Yunhe responded, "The right thing to do now is to fly forward at full speed. The power bay of A-Class Airship has a honeycomb-shaped shielding grid, which is designed to protect against EMP. Even if it can turn all the other functions into scrap metal, the automatic cruise system built into the power bay will take us to the nearest military base."

Kamishiro Yunxin: "They can fly, so naturally they can get close and break through the EMP defenses. I don't believe you didn't think of what I'm saying. You just had the Abyss descend."

At this moment, Kamishiro Seisho calmly said, "He just suddenly realized that if we land and instead of establishing a defensive line, we escape directly, everyone else might survive, but he, the person with whom he has a blood feud, must die. In that case, the opponent's ability to destroy electronic components could actually render him useless."

Kamishiro Yunxin asked doubtfully, "His mechanical limbs are the best; they're capable of resisting EMPs."

Kamishiro Seisho explained, "The coating on military-grade mechanical limbs is designed to protect against EMP grenades, but it's clear that the power of that thing in the sky is far greater than an EMP grenade. So if Kamiyo Yunhe were to encounter this enemy, he would immediately become a cripple with only one leg to move."

Kamiyo Yunhe coldly looked at this Ten Eunuchs.

Yes, Kamishiro Seisho was right. Qing Chen crippled his two arms and one leg, and now these mechanical limbs are all made of electronic components.

Once he is hunted down by Qing Chen, this A-level expert will be no different from a lamb in front of Qing Chen!

This is why Qing Chen did not use his EMP ability when facing the war robots in the building.

Because he wanted to save this surprise for Kamiyo Yunhe, he was worried that Kamiyo Yunhe would become alert in advance and add a higher level of electromagnetic pulse protection coating to himself.

This is why Qing Chen said that he had already done all the most difficult things, and now only the simplest part remained.

Qing Chen wanted Kamiyo Yunhe live; he wanted to strip this person of the right to die.

What Qing Mu went through, Kamiyo Yunhe will go through as well.

The only slightly unexpected thing in the plan was that Kamiyo Yunhe also brought Kamishiro Seisho to him.

Thanks to nature for its gifts.

On the bridge, Kamiyo Yunhe snarled at Kamishiro Seisho, "Do you really think he'll be kind enough to let you land safely? I've fought him before, and he's a hundred times more ruthless than you imagine! He'll definitely make the Abyss plummet from a low altitude, leaving you utterly defenseless!"

Kamishiro Seisho calmly said, "At least it's better than falling straight down from the sky. They can now manipulate us at will, but they haven't made a move yet, which means they want to keep us alive. If I survive, I might be captured, but the clan head will definitely offer a sufficient price to exchange me for."

Because, Kamishiro Seisho is the son of the head of the family.

Therefore, he preferred to be taken prisoner after landing rather than die here.

As long as you're alive, there's still hope.

Politics is about exchange.

Kamiyo Yunhe sneered, "So, the one who has a mortal feud with the knights is me? You're so sure you won't be killed as a political pawn, are you? You think you can use me as a scapegoat now? But you've forgotten who's the strongest on this airship!"

"Is that so?" Kamishiro Seisho asked with a smile.

Kamiyo Yunhe suddenly rushed towards the Ten Eunuchs, but in an instant, Kamishiro Seisho pressed a button on his phone, and this once-glorious A-level expert instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground.

All of his mechanical limbs malfunctioned.

Kamiyo Yunhe roared, "You dare to install backdoor programs on my mechanical limbs! You dare to violate the Federal Convention!"

The Federal Convention contains many provisions, such as prohibiting the development of true Artificial Intelligence, prohibiting the use of nuclear energy for armed strikes, prohibiting the use of smart rail ballistic aids in non-battlefield environments, prohibiting the use of solid incendiary bombs, and prohibiting the use of poison gas bombs...

One of the more important rules is that backdoor programs must not be loaded onto nanorobots and mechanical limbs.

But it's clear that these conventions are for gentlemen, and the Kamishiro Corporation has no intention of abiding by them.

Kamiyo Yunhe, who had fought Qing Chen for so long without dying, was now being used as a pawn.

He knew that Kamishiro Seisho intended to offer him to the assassins in heaven in exchange for fair prisoner treatment, while the Kamishiro Corporation would use sufficiently significant political leverage to trade for him.

In fact, even Qing Chen was prepared to continue fighting. Kamiyo Yunhe was not so easy to capture. He had to kill everyone on the Abyss first before he could capture Kamiyo Yunhe alive.

He even had to guard against Kamiyo Yunhe suicide.

But who could have imagined that before he could even make a move, Kamishiro Seisho had already done him a huge favor...

It's quite ironic.

In the sky, Yang Yang watched the last two fighter jets continue their dogfight, flying further and further away. She looked at Qing Chen and asked, "By the way, do you know anyone who might help you?"

"I don't know, they should be either people from the Shadows or people from the Li family," Qing Chen shook his head.

Yang Yang tilted her head. "Li Changqing?! She's very pretty."

Qing Chen shook his head. "I'm not sure if it's her. It's more likely to be Shadow. The Qing family's intelligence system focuses more on cultivating spies and undercover agents."

Yang Yang said regretfully, "I thought I would be the only one helping you fight. With one more person, it doesn't feel as perfect anymore. It's not just the two of us."

Qing Chen asked doubtfully, "Isn't it good to have someone help you?"

Yang Yang looked at Qing Chen. At this moment, no matter what Qing Chen said, it sounded to her like he was saying... Goodnight Makka Pakka.

I don't know why they're putting Teletubbies here.

"What do we do now?" Yang Yang asked.

Qing Chen said, "Regardless of who helped, the most threatening fighter jet has been dealt with. The Abyss has begun its descent; everything is proceeding according to plan."

"So, we should let it land before we take action?" Yang Yang asked.

"No, let's do it now," Qing Chen laughed. "We need to make it fall to the ground at a controlled height. I've calculated that if all 180 soldiers on the Abyss are D-Class gene warriors, then the Abyss would have to start its uncontrolled dive from a height of 48 meters to kill them all, but still allow Kamiyo Yunhe and Kamishiro Seisho to survive."

Yang Yang glanced at Qing Chen; he really was a man who was always calculating data...

In reality, lightning is not that powerful in the hands of most Awakened. People are used to using lightning to strike things around, which looks very impressive. Of course, the power is indeed great.

However, in Qing Chen's hands, lightning became a tool to fight against modern technological civilization.

It's like tens of thousands of years ago when a monkey lit a campfire, the firelight illuminating its face and warming its body.

Then Qing Chen used a basin of cold water to extinguish the campfire.

A brilliant metaphor.

"By the way, where's Xiao Mengqian?" Qing Chen asked.

Yang Yang pointed to the high mountain diagonally ahead. "I'll settle him there first before I come to find you. We'll come to pick him up after the battle is over."

Qing Chen looked up at the mountaintop and was shocked to see Xiao Mengqian standing there blankly.

Yang Yang said, "You think the battle will happen here? I found him the best viewing spot so he can see what his boss is like. Also, he needs to know who you have the best chemistry with."

Qing Chen: "..."

The little boy, at the viewing spot Yang Yang had chosen for him, witnessed a moment destined to be recorded in the history of superhumans. Before this, no superhuman had ever displayed such formidable aerial dominance.
