Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from the Black Myth

Chapter 99: Stopping Missiles
Lu Mingfei knew very well that even the shield system that Kassel Academy was so proud of would be powerless and difficult to resist when faced with an explosion of this level. The entire academy and its surrounding areas would face the tragic fate of being completely destroyed.

What is even more terrifying is that if the mastermind behind the incident has a backup plan and uses some unknown ability to further spread the power of the explosion to other cities where humans live, then this disaster will no longer be a tragedy limited to a certain region, but will affect the entire world and trigger an unprecedented catastrophe.

By then, countless innocent lives will be wiped out, and the flame of civilization will be in danger of being extinguished. Just thinking about this prospect is enough to make people shudder.

Therefore, what Lu Mingfei has to do now is to prevent these hundreds of intercontinental missiles from exploding in the sky above the city of Chicago!

This is not something impossible to achieve. In fact, Lu Mingfei, who holds the power of bronze and fire, can easily do something that even a superman may not be able to do.

Ten thousand meters above the sky, Lu Mingfei maintained a relatively still state with the whistling intercontinental missiles in an incredible way. He suddenly hovered in the void. At the same time, those intercontinental missiles that were originally diving down rapidly and seemed to tear the earth apart also lost all kinetic energy in an instant. They seemed to be bound by invisible forces, and they were quietly suspended in the air in a posture that completely violated the existing laws of physics. It became a shocking picture.

In a secret and heavily guarded military restricted area in Illinois, the atmosphere in a ground-based defense system command center that was under intensive construction was so heavy that it could almost turn water into ice. All senior officers and generals, regardless of their positions, gathered in the spacious control room at this moment, their faces full of seriousness and worry, their eyes fixed on the huge display screen, which was showing in real time the flight paths of the hundreds of intercontinental missiles that were approaching Chicago mercilessly, as captured by the radar system.

However, at this breathtakingly tense moment, miraculously, those originally clearly visible missile trajectories suddenly all froze, as if they were frozen in time, and turned into countless motionless dots on the screen!

"Is there something wrong with our radar system?!" An officer with the rank of major general asked his question in shock and disbelief.

"Absolutely impossible." The technical officer in charge of the intercontinental missile interception project quickly and firmly denied the admiral's guess. "Our radar detection and tracking technology is top-notch in the country and even in the world. It is impossible for it to fail or go wrong without any warning."

"In other words...all those intercontinental missiles were intercepted? This is simply beyond imagination and impossible!" The major general exclaimed in disbelief, his voice filled with a complex emotion of shock and confusion.

The major general's exclamation was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples, and also expressing the shock and confusion in the hearts of all the officers present at this moment. Their eyes were shining with disbelief, as if they had just witnessed a miracle that could not be explained by common sense.

Indeed, so far, the interception of intercontinental missiles has always been a major problem in the military field, and its difficulty is almost comparable to "shooting bullets with bullets". This requires not only extremely precise calculations and predictions, but also advanced technology and equipment as support. And like this, all intercontinental missiles seem to be controlled by invisible forces, just like traffic police stopping speeding vehicles, and they are easily stopped in the air. Such a scene is extremely rare and shocking even in science fiction movies, not to mention happening in the real world.

The officers looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and curiosity. They were eager to know how this was done and what kind of power could create such an incredible miracle?
"Compared to this incredible interception miracle... I think our more urgent task right now is to figure out how the city was engulfed in flames and turned into a sea of ​​fire before the intercontinental missiles reached the city of Chicago? Could it be that an intercontinental missile that we have not yet detected has exploded silently? Or is it some new type of weapon that we have not yet mastered that is at work in the dark?" Another experienced general said in a steady and powerful voice. His words were like a heavy hammer, and the command center, which was originally full of discussions and noise, fell into silence again. Everyone's face was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"According to the information we have so far, the strong electromagnetic storm that suddenly broke out in Chicago not only interfered with all ground and low-altitude observation methods, making it impossible for us to obtain further image information, but also lost contact with the drones and reconnaissance aircraft that were supposed to provide us with key intelligence." The technical officer frowned, with a bit of helplessness and anxiety in his voice. "Now, the only thing we can rely on is the satellites in the geosynchronous orbit. The radars and infrared sensors they carry can still penetrate electromagnetic interference and continue to detect the trajectory of intercontinental missiles."

Just when the entire command center was shrouded in mystery and everyone was extremely confused and lost, the four-star general, the supreme commander, suddenly received an emergency call from the White House bunker. He made a quick decision, got up and left the command center, and went to a more private place with a stable signal to answer this crucial call.

As a result, all the officers and generals in the command center turned their eyes to the door. Their hearts were full of anticipation and curiosity, and they were eager to know what the latest instructions would be from the White House bunker, which had entered a wartime state.

After a brief and mysterious exchange of whispers, the four-star admiral hung up the phone, with an indescribable complex emotion on his face, a mixture of shock and relief. He returned to the command center, facing everyone, and finally could no longer conceal his inner turmoil, and ordered in a firm and powerful voice:
"The wartime status has been officially cancelled. Officers below the rank of general, please leave the command center immediately, return to your posts, and continue to perform your duties. As for more matters, I will inform you later."
