The Plane War Begins from Wandering Earth

Chapter 323 322. Drug Army
The battle at the Santa Monica Water Strategic Division base finally came to an end with the deaths of two third-level super-powered people.

Without the existence of high-level super-powered people, most of the super-powered warriors are first-level and cannot cause any trouble in front of the "metal cans" of the Dragon Flame Legion.

Considering the suddenness and confidentiality of this operation, the fate of the defenders in the Santa Monica base was even more miserable than that in Los Santos.

The Dragon Flame Legion left no one alive here.

Even those indigenous personnel in the logistics department who posed no threat to the Dragon Flame Legion, as long as they were inside the base and serving the Motherland forces, were quickly killed.

Liu Peiqiang led two or three thousand people and traveled more than a hundred kilometers to get here. He had no time to care about the issue of prisoners.

Until the escort's portable quantum intelligent computer interface was inserted into the core database within the base.

Almost in an instant, or to be exact, a few seconds later, the message "Information retrieval completed" issued by MOSS appeared on the big screen of the communication center of the Santa Monica Water Strategic Branch.

Liu Peiqiang happily began to retrieve secret intelligence about the motherland's forces.

But as he watched, his brows unconsciously frowned.

Intelligence shows that there is no large stockpile of Compound 5 at the Santa Monica base.

In fact, Santa Monica is not the only strategic center city in North America.

The supply of Compound 5 throughout the mutant plane is strictly controlled by Homelander forces.

Before this, when relations between the Homelander forces and the natives of the mutant plane were at their most tense, almost every Vought branch base had been attacked by mutants.

Even the Brotherhood of Mutants, which has expressed neutrality, shows signs of being involved.

After that, the corresponding compound No. 5 began to be distributed regularly and in fixed quantities.

Even if it is looted, the damage will not be too great.

As for the Compound Vaccine No. 5, which is most valued by the United Government, the Vought Group has always used it only in the source plane: the Black Robe Plane, and has never transported it to the mutant plane.

Compound No. 5 is the foundation of Homelander's rule.

Its magical effects have enabled the Black Robe Plane to give birth to a group of up to 600 million super-powered people in just one generation.

Although there are quite a few people who fail, most of them are "useless low-level super-powered people" with no positive effects.

But it still provided the Homelander with tens of millions of super-powered troops, laying the foundation for his hegemonic rule.

For decades, the Water Group has spared no effort in researching Compound No. 5, a core strategic resource.

The Black Robe Plane sold on the market uses compound No. 5, which is classified into hundreds of different types.

This includes the "inferior goods" that are processed secondary by the underground black market, criminal gangs, smugglers, etc. in order to "reduce costs and increase volume".

The rest of the products all come from the Water Group.

Vaccines are one of the more important types, mostly used for infants and young children, and can help these infants and young children awaken superpowers with a high probability.

As for the level of ability and whether it has practical value, it all depends on the genes of the injected individual.

Although the compound vaccine No. 5 caused a large number of deformities in infants and young children, and even deaths and injuries.

But its safety can still be said to be the highest among all No. 5 compound reagents.

Those ordinary No. 5 compounds that were originally manufactured as "hallucinogenic addictive drugs" for the adult market are the real "powerful" drugs.

The database of Santa Monica shows that the medical department of the Water Group has conducted statistics and found that the average remaining life expectancy of adult natives of the Black Robe Plane who have been injected with this common No. 3 compound is only 5- years from the start of the injection.

Compound No. 5 consumes their vitality almost all the time in order to supply the superpowers stimulated in their bodies.

The magic potion makes it possible for ordinary people to become superheroes.

But the cost is extremely high.

According to the tests of the Water Group's Medical Department, an ordinary person can live for at least ten years after just one injection of the ordinary No. 5 compound and then quit it in the future.

But after trying out superpowers that far exceed those of ordinary people, who would still be willing to be mediocre and continue to be an ordinary person whose life and property are threatened at any time under the rule of the motherland?

If there is a first time, there will definitely be a second time, a third time...

Until his vitality was finally drained away and he died on the street.

Compared with the above two types, the third type, a customized medicine specially developed for the super-powered members of the Water Group, is much more reliable.

These carefully selected No. 5 compound medicines are specially supplied to the senior executives of Water Corporation and officers of the Super Power Corps. They are more potent and stable.

It is specially supplied to those members of the Water Group who have been activated by vaccines since childhood and become super-powered people.

Almost all of the Homelander's high-end combat power has to rely on regular injections of this selected medicine to maintain their combat effectiveness for a long time.

It can be said that without the selected potions, the rule of the Homelanders would have collapsed long ago.

The Homelanders encouraged and even semi-forced those high-level superpowers in the Black Robe Plane to take carefully selected potions.

Because he must ensure the number of high-end combat forces under his command so that they will not be crushed by the mutant dimension.

But "drug resistance" has always been a headache.

Even if it is a carefully selected medicine, long-term use day after day for several years will cause the efficacy to become increasingly poor.

The weaker the drug, the more you have to take to achieve the desired effect.

However, excessive intake would also be a huge burden on the body of a high-level superpower.

The locomotive is the most vivid example.

Even the people of our country, who are blessed with the power of the original plane, can clearly feel the decline of their body functions after their peak period has passed.

Compound No. 5 made him successful, but also ruined his future.

But he would never admit this, admit that the super-powered people in the black robe dimension are just inferior man-made products compared to the mutant community.

That's why A-Zu speeded up the conquest of the alternate dimension.

"Did we make this trip for nothing?"

Liu Peiqiang felt unwilling to see that the compound No. 5 medicine looted from the base had survived.

What appeared before him were some ordinary medicines in white bottles.

There are only a handful of blue bottles of selected potions for supplying officers and high-level super-powered people, less than a dozen.

And there wasn't even a single drop of the compound No. 5 vaccine that came in a green bottle.

“The next round of drug delivery will be in three days, when the Vought Group will deliver it to various branch cities in the mutant plane.

Maybe we can do something about it then..."

After the portable quantum intelligent computer invaded the system of the Santa Monica Strategic Communications Center, it did not invade the entire system and take over all network electronic equipment.

Within the Vought Group's network system in the entire mutant dimension, it is still in a "latent" state.

Taking the initiative to attack, seize the control of the Homelander forces in the field of mutant plane network electronic equipment, and gain a temporary advantage. This can only be regarded as a tactical success.

Lurking in secret, observing, monitoring every move of the Homelander forces in the mutant dimension, and collecting their secret intelligence.

This is the only way to lay a strategic foundation for all-round suppression of the coalition government. Based on the information currently obtained, Liu Peiqiang finally decided to make preparations for both scenarios.

On the one hand, they used MOSS to release false information and concentrated the transportation of medicines that would be delivered from the black robe plane three days later.

He then personally led the team to rob a considerable amount of Compound No. 5 medicine and brought it back to the source plane.

The problem was handed over to the biochemistry department of the United Government for research to solve the urgent problem.

On the other hand, they try every means to go to the black robe plane and seize the compound vaccine No. 5, which is most important to Dr. Ashford's team.

After finalizing the action plan, the Dragon Flame Legion will no longer stay here.

Using various means, he began to destroy everything within the Santa Monica base.

Blow up buildings, burn corpses, and cover up traces of the battlefield.

The conflict here should be disguised as an attack by mutant mobs as much as possible.

As flames rose into the sky, the Dragon Flame Legion continued to rush towards the target of the action plan.

At the same time, several powerful super-powered legions of the Homelander forces in North America also surrounded Los Santos.

"Sir, the first batch of super-powered troops have all arrived.

It is estimated that by tomorrow morning, a total of nearly one million armed forces will be involved in the encirclement and suppression.

Including the improved model of the Sentinel robot sent from headquarters..."

The Storm Nazi had her hands behind her back, her feet slowly floating in the air, listening to the report from the Vought security department.

As Homelander's right-hand man and Zu's official girlfriend, Storm is in charge of the special armed operations department of the Vought Group.

When necessary, all armed forces under the Water Group can be mobilized.

After receiving the order from her motherland, the Storm Nazi came in person to supervise the battle on the spot.

The encirclement and suppression plan, which claimed to involve a million troops, was actually quite watered down.

More than half of them are ordinary Aboriginal troops.

By tomorrow when the encirclement is closed, the total number of super-powered troops is estimated to be only 300,000 to 400,000.

The Storm Nazis have always looked down upon ordinary indigenous troops, believing that their greatest role is to provide fire support to the Super Power Legion in areas far away from the battlefield.

Once encountering the super-powered army on the front battlefield, being slaughtered becomes almost the only fate for ordinary indigenous troops.

The mutant plane is not the source plane after all.

Most of the Vought Group's military power still has to be used to guard against mutant groups.

Not to mention the possible betrayal launched by Magneto's forces, those hidden members of the X-Men organization will never miss any opportunity to strike at the Vought Group.

If this happened in the Source Plane, Homelander would be able to easily summon tens of millions of super-powered soldiers willing to fight for him.

"Let those indigenous troops go first and test the enemy's firepower."

Hearing this, the officer in charge of troop deployment on the battlefield was stunned.

This was obviously intended to make those indigenous troops serve as cannon fodder and be the first to consume the enemy's firepower.

The officer opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, choosing instead to follow his orders.

If it were any other member of the "Super Seven", he might have tried to persuade them.

But the Storm Nazi in front of him is the most trusted girlfriend of the Homelander.

Born during World War II, she is a staunch racist.

She discriminates against all ordinary people who are not super-powered equally.

It is perfectly reasonable to arrange them to be cannon fodder.

Sharp military whistles began to sound in all directions of Los Santos city.

The soldiers of the black robe plane indigenous troops, who had already prepared for battle, lined up excitedly and began to advance into the city.

This is somewhat similar to the coalition government's preference for militaristic education.

After the Black Robe Plane was strongly ruled by the Homelanders, it naturally established a system of military hegemony and autocracy.

The group of super-powered people in the Black Robe Plane have a social status far beyond that of the citizens of the United Government.

Even if you kill an indigenous person in the street, as long as you are a superpower, you can use money to exempt yourself from the legal punishment you should suffer.

If you are a high-level superpower, the Water Group will even take the initiative to provide you with shelter and help you deal with public opinion issues.

In addition, important positions in all walks of life, especially those in "violent agencies" such as the military, supervision, and police systems, basically require the identity of a super-powered person to hold the position.

After twenty years, the superior social status of those with super powers has become a consensus among the people in the Black Robe Plane.

This has also led to more and more black-robed natives trying their best to become super-powered people.

Their level of madness is even worse than that of the indigenous groups under the rule of the coalition government.

When the Homelander launched the order to "vaccine the entire population with Compound No. 8 vaccine," the infant mortality and deformity rate of up to % terrified everyone and they avoided it, cursing the Homelander as a damn executioner and a flying devil.

But today, 20 years later, the vaccine-related mortality and teratogenicity rate is still as high as 7.something percent, but vaccination spots have begun to be obtained through lottery.

Many of the Black Robe Aboriginals hope to become super-powered by "getting an injection" and get a chance to advance to a higher class.

Those adult indigenous people who have missed the opportunity to be vaccinated can only hope to work for the Motherland forces in order to obtain the Compound No. 5 medicine provided by the Water Group.

The large number of indigenous troops in the Black Robe Plane came from this.

Before the war, the Storm Nazi stated that as long as the ordinary Aboriginal soldiers participating in this encirclement and suppression operation successfully eliminated the invading extradimensional forces, all Aboriginal soldiers would receive a biological agent produced by the Water Group.

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. The morale of the indigenous troops who were marching towards the city in formation was unprecedentedly high.

Until a series of explosions and roars were heard.

The United Government forces stationed in the city of Los Santos had already set up a large number of traps around the city.

The indigenous troops of the Black Robe Plane were destroyed to pieces by mines, booby traps, and all kinds of unprecedented battlefield traps before they could even get a clear look at their enemies.

They quickly crawled on the ground, looking for cover, and heard a buzzing noise coming from above their heads.

Looking up, I saw swarms of suicide drones hidden in the shadows of many buildings in the city, covering the sky and rushing towards the ground in a mighty manner.

Deafening explosions rang out one after another in the city.

The smoke and dust raised by the explosion made the city of Los Santos hazy.

More than 20 minutes later, except for the messy streets filled with mutilated corpses, the entire Los Santos city fell into an eerie silence again.

The Storm Nazi who watched the whole battle knew that it was wishful thinking to rely on the indigenous troops to defeat the opponent.

"Superpower Legion, prepare for the attack!"
