When Wen Yu walked out of the Treasure Vault, a series of mental fluctuations and the buzzing sound of the communicator jolted him back to reality from his daze of self-awareness.
“Big boss, it seems something happened in Beijing, but I can’t get there in time from this distance.”
This was Lolo, who was currently in the Asian Continent.
“Master, Beijing has been attacked, Tang Haofei has been awakened, and the central control tower of Eternal Sky City has been destroyed. Everything happened too quickly; the Cloud Puppet Team 378 can only monitor and is unable to intervene.”
This message came from the reconnaissance team composed of hundreds of Cloud Puppets that Wen Yu had placed outside the Beijing gathering point.
“Don't go there. Lolo, stay put for now. Cloud Puppet team, stay on alert. That’s it.”
After simply acknowledging Lolo and the Cloud Puppet team's mental fluctuations, Wen Yu took out the communicator from his waist and connected the call.
The communicator was noisy and chaotic, but Lin Haifeng's voice remained calm.
“Something happened. Hurry back.”
“Understood.”
After their brief exchange, the call ended, and Wen Yu transformed into a black light, rushing straight towards the exit of the Heavenly Palace.
…
As soon as Lin Haifeng returned to the Beijing gathering point, the chaos in Beijing had already subsided.
Lin Tianxue and her group had been captured, and the personnel left behind by the celestial god were also detained. The propaganda system had been regained, and even the battlefield was cleaned up. In summary, except for the destruction of the central control tower of Eternal Sky City and the Beijing Commander-in-Chief Headquarters, everything else remained unchanged from before the incident.
Lin Haifeng and Fran hurriedly made their way to the backup command center in the Inner City of Beijing.
There, the pale and weak Caius and Fang Bai, who had just been dug out from the ground by his subordinates, were sitting in chairs with grim expressions, pondering how to resolve this sudden incident.
“Commander Lin.”
“Commander Lin.”
As Lin Haifeng and Fran entered the backup command center, Fang Bai and Caius rose to salute, then proceeded to report the situation.
“The central control tower has suffered an unstoppable external force attack, and my revival methods have been neutralized.”
Caius’s report was straightforward; in simple terms, he could not defend against this incident. The fact that Tang Haofei had been released was not due to his weakness, but rather because the enemy had a gundam.
Alright, Lin Haifeng had no intention of entangling himself with Caius over this matter. He dismissed Caius with a few words, and only after Caius left did Fang Bai speak up.
“The celestial god... yes, Kuangliu has betrayed Beijing; the entire incident was manipulated by Kuangliu.”
After Fang Bai finished speaking, he glanced at the old man's expression. Lin Haifeng appeared indifferent, showing no signs of surprise, and Fang Bai instantly realized that Lin Haifeng had long been aware of the celestial god’s true identity.
So he continued, “Lin Tianxue and her group have been detained. Based on the comparison of testimonies from Lin Tianxue and Qin Tian, they have likely been used by the celestial god. They only wanted to escape the city and head to the Star of Africa. The personnel instigating the rebellion were all discarded pawns set up by the celestial god and have now been arrested. Meanwhile, Walter also participated in this operation; he has betrayed us.”
The betrayal of the celestial god and sequence three was undoubtedly a heavy blow for Beijing!
These two were undoubtedly the strongest combat forces in the Beijing gathering point.
However, Lin Haifeng did not display any agitation or anger; he simply nodded, indicating that he understood, then waved his hand, signaling Fang Bai to leave.
Yet Fang Bai still had other considerations: “Um, Dad, Little Snow was just deceived by Kuangliu this time; I feel that...”
