Chapter 944: 583. Dominance

In the natural world, the food chain is predestined, formed naturally over hundreds of millions of years, where all creatures adhere to rules set by time for each other.

However, in the complex human world, everyone has their own disguise. It’s difficult to distinguish who is the hunter and who is the prey.

While Jindai Yunhe dragged Qing Chen barefoot through the snow, he absolutely never imagined he would be in this situation today.

And he certainly never thought that the former prey would endure with sheer determination until now, just for this revenge.

The antigravity device aboard the Depth Ship has already begun to decrease in power, and this A-Class Floating ship is tilting uncontrollably towards the ground.

At this moment, Jindai Yunhe seems to recall something: “No, we can’t descend! Absolutely cannot descend! Full power on the engines, fly to the nearest military base!”

Jindai Yunxin looked at Jindai Yunhe: “Do you know what you’re doing?”

“I’m very clear,” Jindai Yunhe calmly responded.

Jindai Yunxin: “The Shadow’s undercover has infiltrated the combat system on the fighter jet ahead, two fighter jets have been destroyed. If he wins against the remaining one, then we’ll be targets in the sky!”

The battle hasn’t completely finished, yet internal conflict has already broken out on the Depth Ship.

Jindai Yunxin pointed angrily at the ceiling: “Above us are two people, one is a Lightning System Awakener, the other is a Force Field Awakener. You should have seen their combined effects in the sky, drones are powerless against them, and tracking missiles can’t touch them either. Without long-range fighter jet escort, we’re like lambs to the slaughter in the sky.”

Jindai Yunxin: “After landing, perhaps we can use heavy machine guns to form a defensive line and hold out until support arrives. In the sky, if that kind of Ghost ability with a built-in EMP bomb gets close to the Depth Ship, we’ll all fall, being suffocated in this iron can!”

This analysis isn’t wrong. The combined abilities of Qing Chen and Yang Yang, are a bug when the enemy is unprepared for them.

This is also the reason Qing Chen invited Yang Yang to assist him.

Just as Jindai Yunlo said, during these seven days, Qing Chen has been waiting, waiting for Jindai Yunhe to board the floating ship.

Originally, he would have had to endure three more days, until the memorial ceremony in City 21.

But Jindai Yasuhito moved this plan ahead.

Qing Chen even thought of thanking Jindai Yasuhito, otherwise, he would be so tired that his dark circles would outgrow his face.

At this moment, Qing Chen and Yang Yang are lethal in the air.

If they land, the threat from these two B-Class individuals wouldn’t be as great as imagined, it’s just that electronic components are vulnerable in front of them.

It’s crucial to know that, aboard the Depth Ship, besides 24 war robots, there’s also a full battalion of 180 people.

Jindai Yunhe responded: “Flying forward with full power is correct now, the power cabin of an A-Class floating ship has a honeycomb shield grille, which is EMP-proof by design. Even if they can turn all other functions into scrap metal, the automatic cruise system inside the power cabin will still bring us to the nearest military base.”

Jindai Yunxin shook his head: “They can fly, naturally they can approach and destroy EMP protection. I can’t believe you didn’t think of what I’m saying, you just had the Depth Ship descend.”

At this moment, Jindai Yasuhito calmly said: “He just suddenly thought, if we land and didn’t establish a line of defense but rather directly fled, others might survive, but he, who has a mortal enemy, must die. That ability which can destroy electronic components can actually render him useless.”

Jindai Yunxin questioned in confusion: “His mechanical limbs are top-notch, they have EMP protection, right?”

Jindai Yasuhito explained: “The coating of military mechanical limbs is matched according to EMP grenade defense specifications, but obviously, the force from above is much stronger than EMP grenades. So if Jindai Yunhe encounters this enemy, he will immediately become a cripple with only one leg that can move.”

Jindai Yunhe coldly looked at this Ten Eunuch.

Yes, Jindai Yasuhito was not wrong, Qing Chen has crippled his two arms and one leg, now these mechanical limbs are all composed of electronic components.

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

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

Because he wants to save this surprise for Jindai Yunhe, fearing that Jindai Yunhe would become alert too early and coat himself with higher-grade electromagnetic pulse-resistant layers.

This is also why Qing Chen says, he has completed all the hardest parts, leaving only the simplest stage now.

Qing Chen wants Jindai Yunhe alive, he wants to strip away even the right for this person to die.

What Qing Mu has gone through, Jindai Yunhe must go through.

The only unexpected part of the plan was Jindai Yunhe also delivering Jindai Yasuhito in front.

Thanks to nature’s gift.

On the bridge, Jindai Yunhe said viciously to Jindai Yasuhito: “Do you really think he will kindly let you land safely? I’ve fought against him, he’s a hundred times fiercer than you can imagine! He’ll definitely have the Depth Ship drop from low altitude, leaving you helpless!”

Jindai Yasuhito calmly said: “At least it’s better than falling directly from the sky. They can already easily deal with us now but haven’t acted, which shows they want to keep someone alive. If I survive, I might be captured, but the Family Head will certainly use sufficient resources to trade me back.”

Because Jindai Yasuhito is the Family Head’s son.

So he would rather become a prisoner after landing than die here.

As long as you’re alive, there’s hope.

Politics is about exchange.

Jindai Yunhe snarled, “So, I’m the one with a deadly feud with the Knights. You are certain that you won’t be killed as a political pawn, right? You think you can treat me as a discard? But you’ve forgotten who is actually the strongest on this floating ship!”

“Is that so?” Jindai Yasuhito chuckled in response.

Jindai Yunhe suddenly rushed towards this member of the Ten Eunuch, but in an instant, Jindai Yasuhito pressed a button on his phone, and this once all-powerful A-Class expert immediately lost his balance, collapsing on the floor.

His mechanical limbs were all disabled.

Jindai Yunhe roared in fury, “You dare install a backdoor program in my mechanical limbs! You actually dare to violate the Federation’s conventions!”

The Federation conventions have many articles, such as no development of true artificial intelligence, no use of nuclear power for military strikes, no use of smart trackball assistance in non-combat environments, no use of solid fuel explosives, no use of gas grenades…

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

But clearly, these conventions are meant for gentlemen, and the Jindai Consortium doesn’t plan to abide by them.

While Jindai Yunhe survived countless battles with Qing Chen, he is now treated as a pawn to be sacrificed.

He knows that Jindai Yasuhito plans to offer him to the assassins in the sky for a fair treatment as a captive, waiting for the Jindai Consortium to exchange him with significant political capital.

In fact, even Lian Qingchen was prepared to continue fighting; Jindai Yunhe wouldn’t be subdued so easily. He would have to wipe out everyone on the Depth Ship first before possibly capturing Jindai Yunhe alive.

He even had to guard against Jindai Yunhe committing suicide.

But who could have imagined that before he could take action, Jindai Yasuhito had already done him a big favor…

It’s somewhat ironic.

In the sky, Yangyang watched as the last two fighter jets continued their dogfight, flying further and further away. She looked at Qing Chen, “Speaking of, did you know someone would help you?”

“No, it should be someone from the Shadow, or someone from the Li Family,” Qing Chen shook his head.

Yangyang tilted her head, “Li Changqing?! She’s very pretty.”

Qing Chen shook his head, “Not sure if it’s her, more likely it’s the Shadow. The intelligence system of Qing’s Family focuses more on cultivating spies and undercover agents.”

Yangyang lamented, “I thought I was the only one coming to help you fight, but with another person, it feels less perfect, no longer a duo.”

Qing Chen puzzled, “Isn’t it good to have someone help?”

Yangyang looked at Qing Chen. No matter what Qing Chen said now, it sounded to her like he was saying… “Goodnight, Merkaba.”

Who knows what kind of Teletubby they were pretending to be here.

“What do we do now?” Yangyang asked.

Qing Chen said, “No matter who helped, the fighter jet that posed the greatest threat has been dealt with. The Depth Ship is starting to descend, and everything is going according to plan.”

“So, wait until it lands before taking action?” Yangyang asked.

“No, act now,” Qing Chen smiled, “We need to let it fall to the ground from a controllable height. I’ve calculated that if all 180 soldiers in the Depth Ship are D-Class Gene Warriors, the Depth Ship must go out of control and nose-dive from 48 meters to kill them all. But it will also allow Jindai Yunhe and Jindai Yasuhito to survive.”

Yangyang glanced at Qing Chen, truly a man who is always calculating data…

In fact, in the hands of most Awakeners, the lightning system doesn’t have such power. People are used to striking with lightning here and there, which looks very impressive, and indeed, the power is great.

But in Qing Chen’s hands, the lightning system becomes a tool to combat modern technological civilization.

It’s like a monkey thousands of years ago lighting a bonfire, the firelight illuminating its face, the heat warming its body.

Then Qing Chen doused the bonfire with a bucket of cold water.

A peculiar metaphor.

“By the way, where’s Xiao Mengqiu?” Qing Chen asked.

Yangyang pointed distantly towards the high mountain slope ahead, “I settled him there first before coming to find you. We’ll pick him up after the battle.”

Qing Chen gazed towards the mountain, seeing Xiao Mengqiu standing dazedly at the summit.

Yangyang said, “You said the battle would happen here, so I found him the best vantage point to watch the fight, to let him see what his boss is like. Also, to let him know who is most in sync with you.”

Qing Chen: “…”

The young boy, standing at the spot Yangyang chose for him to spectate, is witnessing a moment destined to go down in Transcendent history. Before this, no Transcendent had ever demonstrated such formidable aerial dominance.
