Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 590 The Fall
"Director Kaiming, the soldier you mentioned, it wouldn't be him, would it?"

While the two were talking, the small black dot in the distant airspace had already evaded the incoming laser missiles in a very unbelievable way.

In Li Luo's eyes, Ah Hu hadn't done anything special, just a simple change of posture, yet he seemed to have foreseen the future, escaping a hail of bullets unscathed at the last second. No matter how sophisticated the guidance and targeting of the weapons aimed at him, they would inexplicably deflect upon contact with him, falling into empty space and posing no threat.

"Temasek, I know what you're afraid of. I can tell you clearly that Tiger One is our company's first experimental subject who escaped from control, and has absolutely nothing to do with Azure Rhinoceros. He was just inexplicably caught up in the Divine Grace upheaval and accidentally killed Juan in a daze. This time, our company sent Tiger Two to bring him back to headquarters to ensure that the company's core interests are not harmed. If Singapore and Malaysia refuse to cooperate, then Luwu Heavy Industries will not hesitate to launch a corporate war. At that time, the situation will not be as good as it is now."

Kaiming Beast glanced at the file on Ah Hu that Li Luote had thrown out, his gaze sweeping over Qin Huai's sharp and shrewd face without lingering for a moment, and directly issued an ultimatum to everyone present.

"Hmm? Ah Hu really is your company's test subject. Then why didn't Luwu Heavy Industries send anyone to pick him up for the previous six months, and why did they have to choose this recent time?"

After listening to the Enlightened Beast's account, Li Luo frowned, but continued to ask questions calmly.

"Because Temasek's arrest of Tiger One caused quite a stir recently, our company, even in Yeh Kong, heard about it. After the intelligence department confirmed the news, we urgently convened a board meeting and dispatched Tiger Two with my backup to discuss the specific handling of Tiger One with you before Temasek cracks our technology and makes things irreversible."

"I see. It's inevitable that companies will be wary of each other, but since the enlightened director is willing to come here and speak frankly and explain the ins and outs of the matter, it really shows Luwu Heavy Industry's sincerity."

Lee Lotte paused for a moment, then continued, "To be honest, Temasek really wants to do this business with the enlightened board. After all, it's always better to have more friends than enemies. As long as Luwu Heavy Industries doesn't have the intention of being our enemy, we don't mind making some concessions and striving to reach this cooperation agreement."

"I told you there are still smart people in Southeast Asia, but you seem to be in some trouble now. My radar shows that a large armed force is crossing the Java Sea. What are you planning to do?"

The Enlightened Beast was clearly very satisfied with Li Luote's attitude. The Tiger Two, which was approaching from a distance, noticed that the city's defenses had ceased fire and immediately slowed down. The single-soldier flying vehicle with outstretched wings on its back spewed flames and hovered in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. After the giant glass slid open to both sides, it slowly walked in and stood next to Li Luote without saying a word.

Could this face be a gene-modified experimental product from the same project at Luwu Heavy Industry, specifically for "Tiger One" and "Tiger Two"?

Looking at Tiger Two's facial features and body proportions, which were almost identical to Tiger's, Li Luote was somewhat convinced by the Enlightened Beast's words, but he still had considerable doubts about this suddenly appearing duo.

He had considered that the "Tiger Two" in front of him was actually Ah Hu in disguise, and the Enlightened Beast was a Yin-Yang School hacker in disguise. But if they really had the ability to break through the data firewall of the temple of gods and Buddhas in a short time, then it would not be difficult for the resistance to destroy the United Government with more effort. Why bother to seek so-called cooperation?

This is not logical.

These digital beings, tamed by programs, formulas, and data, believe most in logic.

After exchanging glances with Rajnath and the others, Li Luote finally spoke up, continuing the conversation with Kaiming Beast: "Director Kaiming has keen insight. Indeed, the United Government is going to launch a military operation against Borneo today, targeting the rebel guerrillas that have been wreaking havoc in Southeast Asia and your company's target, [Tiger One]."

"Perhaps the Borneo Research Institute has achieved some results, or perhaps some accident has occurred, causing [Tiger One]'s lost consciousness to return from the Spirit Realm to his original form. Just a few hours ago, he single-handedly killed seven Level 3 Martial Artists and one Level 4 Buddhist. To prevent him from escaping again, the United Government has finally decided to mobilize a large military force to capture him."

"Oh, then let Tiger Two go with you. Without a level four martial artist to keep you in check, you won't be able to catch Tiger One."

After hearing Li Luote's plan, a barely perceptible glint flashed in the eyes of the Enlightened Beast. After giving the order to Tiger Two, it vanished with a bang, giving the people of Xinma Port no chance to object.

"What do you all mean?"

Seeing the Enlightened Beast's arrogance and rudeness, Li Luote managed to suppress his anger and turned to ask the others in the conference room, who had also witnessed the whole thing, with a smile.

“Circumstances are beyond human control, and Brahma has no objection.”

In this era where gods and Buddhas have withdrawn from the world after the great changes in divine grace and are unable to manifest their divine power, Luwu Heavy Industry, whose senior management has no digital life, is different from most corporate giants that have long been entangled with religious oligarchs. Thanks to the changes in the environment, Luwu Heavy Industry, whose strength has not been greatly diminished, has become the uncrowned king of the entire world. Apart from a few government-enterprise alliances with equally deep foundations, few people dare to refuse its demand for cooperation.

Li Luot had taken this into consideration, which is why he made many concessions in the verbal exchange just now. Even though he couldn't completely confirm the identity of Kaiming Beast's company, he didn't rashly provoke this powerful hacker whose background was unknown.

"The Ye family agrees."

"Aurora also wants to see everyone return safely."

Under pressure from Luwu Heavy Industry and Kaiming Beast, no one in the United Government dared to directly oppose them. Li Luote looked at the statue-like Tiger II and summoned a Flying Lian-2 hovercar. Together with the intelligent troops that had been redeployed a second time, they began to assemble eastward.

From the attitude and words displayed by the Enlightened Beast, Li Luote knew just how much Luwu Heavy Industry valued [Tiger One] this time. Since they had staked their latest experimental subjects on this, the New Malaysia-Port United Government would naturally follow suit. If they could really wipe out the resistance and take down [Tiger One], they would not hesitate to risk losing all twenty Heavens and the company's armed forces that they had sent out.

The raging waves of the Java Sea swept past below. Li Luo looked at the Tiger II inside the cabin and felt something was strange. If Tiger II gave him the feeling of an old-fashioned martial artist from the old society, then Tiger II was a masterpiece that combined the top technological achievements of the present era. Although it looked exactly the same, it was actually no different from a machine wearing human skin, completely lacking that kind of vibrant spirit.

Recalling the surveillance footage of Ah Hu punching Juan to death during the battle at the border, Li Luote could not reconcile the spirited boxer with the cold, ruthless weapon before him.

"It's full of craftsmanship. I hope that the 'enlightened' claim isn't an exaggeration."

Li Luo closed his eyes, muttered something to himself, and connected his brain to the local area network that accessed the company's armed forces, beginning to micromanage and deploy them.

Deep within the Brahma satellite channel lies the transitional zone connecting the spiritual realm and the human world.

Qin Huai slowly opened his eyes. The fragmented pieces containing countless pieces of information had somehow reassembled into a solid body in his hand, feeling heavy and substantial, like a large, solid piece of yellow jade.

"Interesting. Was it the operation of reorganizing and piecing together every bit of Pirala's body to obtain information, and incidentally completing the repair of the [Godhood]?" Rubbing his temples, which were swollen from receiving too much information, Qin Huai glanced at the mixed colors that had somehow spread to his front, his expression thoughtful.

"These polluted data from the Bitter Sea are truly ubiquitous. Even without entering the spiritual realm, just staying in the channels connecting different virtual spaces can lead to pollution and the risk of consciousness dissociation? This does align with the situation of the Cyber ​​Gods and Buddhas keeping their temples closed and avoiding the world. Unfortunately, Brahma Group and Luwu Heavy Industry are located in the southwest and northeast respectively, with overlapping and competing industrial investments, and not much cooperation. As the president of the Southeast Asia region, Pilarard doesn't know much about the internal senior management of Luwu Heavy Industry, only that their directors often use mythical beasts from mountains and seas as nicknames, which is quite similar to the Yanfu Xingxing."

With hundreds of concise pieces of information sifted from Piralad's [divinity] flowing through his mind, combined with the information he had previously gathered, Qin Huai gradually sketched out a general image of Luwu Heavy Industries in his mind.

Mysterious, powerful, and out of place.

"Since Pilarard knows so little about Luwu Heavy Industry, then the other companies in Singapore and Malaysia, and even Southeast Asia, are probably not much better off. If we want a quick victory, we really have to go straight to Luwu Heavy Industry's headquarters."

Just as Qin Huai was about to pull the anchor of consciousness back to reality, the chaotic entropy that had spread due to the annihilation of the entire virtual space suddenly seemed to come alive, surging and crashing like a deep abyss, directly engulfing Qin Huai, who was caught off guard and had only summoned [Heavenly Gold] to protect himself at the last moment, and dragging him into the boundless darkness.

At that moment, Qin Huai felt himself falling, darkness enveloped him, and countless bizarre and unbelievable scenes appeared before his eyes.

Various bloody violence, alluring and mesmerizing light and shadow, lines and graphics, colorful and chaotic, make Qin Huai feel as if he is traveling through interstellar space, or being exploited by sex puppets. At times, he feels like he is fighting to the death in an arena, but soon he can feel the suffocation of a raging storm.
Countless emotional messages were so real and clear, chaotic and disordered, with joy, anger, sorrow and happiness all surging in. Accompanied by the hissing sound of the tape being rewound and the long, soft sound of the cassette tape, Qin Huai finally surfaced headfirst and saw a boundless, illusory sea. The data, a mixture of black, white and gray, collided with the golden light of the crystal, creating ripples.

Looking out over Qin Huai, all he could see were pollution data in the distance, like crashing waves and shattered snow, lapping against the outer edges of islands of varying sizes, blocked by all sorts of ICE-style walls.

"Although I had expected it, the Spirit Realm is far too dangerous now."

Perhaps due to the relentless erosion of pollutants, the golden sheen on Qin Huai's body quickly began to crumble, seemingly unable to withstand the onslaught for long.

"No, we can't go back for a while. Let's find a place to stay first."

After failing to pull the consciousness anchor again, Qin Huai made a decisive move and swam directly towards the nearest island.

Although the island is not large, there is still a dilapidated ICE-style wall around its perimeter to prevent the large-scale impact of contamination data.

Of course, the ICE system, riddled with vulnerabilities, was no match for Qin Huai's superb hacking skills. In an instant, he leaped and landed on the barren, jagged rocks, and his consciousness was immediately connected to and entered a virtual space.

After the dazzling white light, what appeared before Qin Huai was a neon-lit underground racetrack with an extremely extravagant design.

Aside from the few spectators around the track, not far away was a group of elaborately decorated biker gang members, all with frizzy hair, dressed in black leather jackets, and carrying various tools, violently modifying their beloved cars.

"It was supposed to be a dedicated space for racing, but it's a pity that the Spirit Realm has become like this. Even if out-of-town spectators wanted to watch, they can't come anymore."

Qin Huai shook his head. He did not feel guilty about the consequences of his actions regarding the fruit. He was just moved by the scene and made a few casual remarks.

"To return to reality, we need to find a channel first. Never mind, let's go ask them first."

Glancing at the broken cable hanging from the dilapidated ceiling of the enclosed area, and the crackling electrical sparks, Qin Huai carefully avoided the black rain pouring in from the hole above his head, walked up to the group of bikers, and politely asked a question.

"Excuse me, may I use your communication channel?"

"Hey, a newbie? Another sea monster from another family that got swept into the sea by the bitter waves?"
A woman with a colorful rooster-like hairstyle, sitting in a convertible sports car with two women on either side, pulled her head out from her voluptuous white breasts, glanced at Qin Huai, and made a sarcastic remark.

"I suppose so. How about it, brother, do me a favor?"

Qin Huai narrowed his eyes, and a small computing data package shaped like a money bag suddenly appeared in his hand (scavenged from the god Pilarard), which he handed over.

"Heh, you're quite generous. Alright, you can use the channel. But let me tell you beforehand, the channel here has been corrupted by the Sea of ​​Bitterness, so it's unreliable. You have to complete an individual obstacle time trial first, and only after you achieve the required result can you leave."

Perhaps sensing that Qin Huai was not someone to be trifled with, the man with the rooster-like hair didn't make things difficult for Qin Huai after weighing the data packet for a while. Instead, he added, "By the way, if you're unlucky and don't see the channel after the race, you'll have to keep running until you break the record."

"The rules of virtual space?"

Qin Huai frowned and asked subconsciously.

"Who knows? Anyway, ever since the Spirit Realm became this dilapidated, the underlying code and architectural rules of the derivative space have long been corrupted and altered by polluted data. Every place has its own rules. What can we stray dogs do? We can only grit our teeth and endure it."

After saying that, the man with the rooster-like hair waved his hand and said, "You can pick any car you like here. The obstacle course is very violent, bloody, and exciting. You can't do it without a good car."

Qin Huai nodded noncommittally and took out a concept motorcycle from the [Blade] company from his personal space.
