The First Order

Chapter 934: Did it succeed?

Dong Funan was no match for Yang Anjing in debating. She was just a normal person whose powers had suddenly awakened, while Yang Anjing had received top-tier education since childhood.

In fact, there was a common problem among highly educated people and intellectuals, and it was that they liked making decisions on behalf of others.

When normal people suggested they did not need to be represented or have someone make decisions for them, the highly regarded people would think they were too short-sighted to see what they knew.

It was not only Yang Anjing who was like this. Wang Shengzhi was also the same. Even the leaders of the Pyro Company and P5092 were like this too.

Such thinking had its pros and cons. For example, such knowledge and experience could make P5092 even more confident on the battlefield, while the Pyro Company would be fearless in the face of foreign enemies.

But once these highly regarded people became ingrained in their own stubborn beliefs, it would be very difficult to say whether it was a blessing or a curse for normal people.

Without a doubt, their beliefs were very firm and not something anyone could refute with just a few words.

Yang Anjing looked at Dong Funan. "Why didn't you make a move just now? Were you waiting for someone?"

Dong Funan pursed her lips and did not say anything. "Since you're so powerful, why are you still asking so much? Why not just kill me?"

"No." Yang Anjing shook her head. "You might not believe it, but I've never killed anyone unnecessarily."

Based on what Yang Anjing had just said, she did not view Dong Funan as innocent but unnecessary. On the path she was pursuing, she would not kill someone if it did not help her in the advancement of her goal.

Shuffling footfalls came from the wilderness at this moment. Yang Anjing smiled and said, "Thank you for helping me lure them away from their posts."

Dong Funan was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

She quickly realized Yang Anjing was using her as bait to lure away the main garrison of the secret base. If it were anyone else who came here, the main garrison, which likely included superhumans as well, would probably not even be forced into action.

But it was different with Yang Anjing here. Because the head of the Anjing House was here personally, they had to take the situation seriously.

Therefore, Yang Anjing was already aware Dong Funan had defected. However, she did not expose her and waited for this moment so Dong Funan could help create this small window of opportunity in the Qing Consortium's tight defense.

Yang Anjing knew how meticulous Qing Zhen was in his actions. Even though she had already schemed against him like this, there would still definitely be a very tight defense in this secret base.

However, the power of superhumans was the most unpredictable. She had kept a trump card like Wang Wenyan's power hidden for many years and only used it once. So when she used it again now, it would still be very effective.

Even today, no one could guess how the Wang Consortium managed to seize the seven satellites of the Qinghe Group. Everyone knew the Wang Consortium might have gained control of the satellites, but no one knew how they did it.

Because Wang Wenyan could turn into a black mist that permeated everywhere, it was too difficult to defend against an undetectable infiltration like that.

But if he only had the means to sneak in, it would not affect the secret base much. Even if he could operate alone inside the nuclear test site for a few hours, he might not be able to figure out the details of how things worked.

However, Wang Wenyan only needed to bring a small flash drive with him to help Zero get here.

With Wang Wenyan and Zero working together, they could invade practically every network and system in the world. So Wang Wenyan was actually the highlight of the show while Yang Anjing came along willingly as his accessory.

Now that she had helped Wang Wenyan open a path, it was time for him to take action.

At this moment, the paper cranes that had flown off into the distance started flying back. When Yang Anjing saw the Qing Consortium troops surrounding them in all directions, she did not go on a killing spree. Instead, she said into her earpiece, "Xinyu, the mission is over. Get us out of here."

However, a man's voice rang out through the earpiece, "I'm sorry, but she can't pick you up now. But I can bring you to the Qing Consortium. I'm sure the boss would love to have a chat with you."

Yang Anjing looked at the troops surrounding them and suddenly laughed. "As expected of Qing Zhen."

But just as she finished speaking, a girl's voice said in her earpiece, "Wang Wenyan has already completed the mission. The base's self-destruction sequence has been activated. 10, 9, 8…"

Just as the Qing Consortium's troops had surrounded them and were about to make their move to capture the Anjing House party, a huge and glaring explosion erupted at the secret base in the distance. It was not a nuclear explosion but a self-destruction device that had been installed when the base was constructed. This was Qing Zhen's contingency plan to prevent the base from being controlled by those with evil intentions. However, Zero now made use of it.

A second later, a huge shockwave spread outwards from the base. The soldiers who tried to capture Yang Anjing were all sent flying into the air by the shockwave. And not only them, Yang Anjing, Cheng Yu, and Dong Funan were no exception!

After being sent airborne, some of the elite troops immediately got up and prepared to force the enemy into battle. However, Yang Anjing and Cheng Yu disappeared within the chaotic paper cranes that surrounded them!

A burly man holding Luo Xinyu in his hand walked over slowly and looked at the secret base that was aflame in silence.

Eight years. He had been guarding this place for eight years, but someone destroyed it just like that. He naturally felt angry about it.

He took out his satellite phone and called Qing Zhen. "Boss, I'm sorry."

However, Qing Zhen did not blame him. He just said slowly, "That place had been exposed, so it was only a matter of time before it got destroyed. It's alright, just come back. Don't pursue Yang Anjing anymore. That woman's power is unfathomable. You all might not be able to defeat her."

The burly man felt suffocated. The more Qing Zhen did not blame him, the guiltier he felt. By entrusting such an important place under his protection, it could be said that Qing Zhen had placed the Qing Consortium's trump card in his care, yet he had failed to protect it.

"By the way, Qing Ze, why don't you come directly to Stronghold 111? I'll play host and throw you dinner. What would you like to eat? I remember that you like shredded pork with garlic sauce," Qing Zhen asked. From his tone, it did not sound like he was particularly anguished.

"OK, Boss." Qing Ze hung up and reorganized his troops. He inspected Luo Xinyu, who he was holding, before handing her captive to a soldier. "Have a platoon keep a close eye on her 24/7. Prevent her from activating her Shadow Door."

Cheng Yu had already been carried several kilometers away by the hundreds of paper cranes and thrown to the ground.

He hurriedly stood up and shouted at Yang Anjing next to him, "Boss, Luo Xinyu is still in their grasp! We have to go back and save her!"

Yang Anjing glanced at him. "I can't save her now. I'll find an opportunity in the future. But don't worry. Luo Xinyu and Xiaojin are friends, and Ren Xiaosu and Qing Zhen are on very good terms too. So the Qing Consortium won't do anything to Luo Xinyu."

Cheng Yu was stunned. He had not expected Yang Anjing to say that.

After a pause, Cheng Yu asked an unrelated question. "Boss, did Tang Hualong and Vanilla go to Luoyang City… to kill someone?"

Yang Anjing glanced at him and answered, "No."

As she spoke, Zero's voice rang out again through Yang Anjing's earpiece. "Did you manage to escape successfully?"

"Affirmative, we've escaped successfully. Where's Wang Wenyan?" Yang Anjing asked.

"He's already fled southwest. I estimate he'll reach the retreat route in three days and then return to the North nine days later," Zero replied.

Yang Anjing asked, "Was this mission verified to be successful?"

"The main mission was successful," Zero said. The main mission was to destroy the Qing Consortium's nuclear test site, and it had been destroyed. However, Zero quickly added, "But we were unable to find any relevant data on the 12 carrier rockets the Qing Consortium launched. We were unable to determine what they had launched into space. If they were satellites, there wasn't any way to control them from here."

Yang Anjing was stunned. She was a little puzzled by what kind of preparations Qing Zhen had made. And she was also a little unsure if this mission had really succeeded.
