Extreme germ phobia

Chapter 335 This is not over yet

As the sun sets in the west, its rays cast long, fiery red clouds across the earth.

The massive warship was moored on one side of the canal, level with the Silver Bay, shoulder to shoulder.

On the south bank, wisps of smoke drifted away silently in the evening breeze... That was the enemy position destroyed by the warships!

At the stern of the warship, Ou Yang and Lu Wei stood on the edge of the deck, a faint smell of burning lingering around their noses.

Ou Yang patted the railing, turned his head to look at the bow of the ship, and felt a surge of emotions.

No wonder people online always say that the Strategic Deception Bureau has excellent photography skills. The warships in the photos look tiny. It's only when you see the real warships with your own eyes that you realize how powerful and enormous they are!
Judging by appearance, the ship is at least a hundred and several hundred meters long, and the height from the waterline to the hull is at least five stories high!

A person standing next to a warship is about the same as a soybean next to a watermelon.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Lu Wei let out a soft sigh: "Latest news: the attack was carried out by the Apostles, and the US is backing them!"

Ou Yang's face darkened: "How did Old Mi get involved with the Apostles again? What good will cutting off the supply line do them?"

The US has been able to hold on until now entirely thanks to the support from the University of Tokyo. Although supporting the US in its fight against the pandemic is meant to buy more time, no one can deny the University of Tokyo's support for the US, right?

At a time like this, jumping out to sabotage the cooperation between the two sides, are they out of their minds?

"It's definitely not good for the United States, but it might not be for the American people. Not all American interests are aligned with the interests of this country; it could be the work of a certain interest group."

As Ouyang recalled the equipment in the enemy's hands, his resentment grew even stronger: "What have they done to support the Apostles?"

"Intelligence, and equipment."

Ouyang suddenly realized: "No wonder!"

His understanding of the apostles was very limited, and he even once thought that the apostles were a well-organized organization with a clear division of labor, where each member actively worked for the purification of the world.

In reality, many apostle members are well aware that the so-called destruction of the world by God is nonsense. Therefore, there are not as many core members in this organization as one might imagine. Most of the immune individuals who join the apostles are somewhat opportunistic.

Americans are laid-back, unconventional, and champion freedom, which allows them to spontaneously form highly efficient groups... cough, let's talk about something else!
There aren't as many apostle members who believe in the doomsday theory and are willing to give everything for it as one might imagine. Therefore, the apostle members are divided into two categories above.

First, there are the peripheral members, who basically use their status as apostle members to benefit themselves; second, there are the core members who are somewhat mentally unstable and have been misled by the doomsday theory.

Needless to say, the one causing trouble everywhere is definitely the latter, and today's chaos is no exception.

Lu Wei took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth: "The analysis above has already been done. The situation in South America is much more serious than in the United States. If the United States is still in a standoff, South America has completely fallen. This kind of environment is particularly suitable for the development of the Apostles."

He took a deep breath and exhaled a cloud of smoke, as if he could expel all the frustration in his heart: "So it's not surprising that the apostles appeared here, nor is it surprising that they had designs on the transport ship. The key is how much of a role Old Mi played in it. Did he only provide equipment intelligence, or was the attack itself also related to Old Mi's instigation?"

Ou Yang asked curiously, "Instigate?"

Lu Wei nodded: "The Apostles' target is supplies, but they don't need to hold onto the transport ship so tightly. The normal course of events should be for them to get as far away as possible after we step in... The higher-ups think that the reason Old Mi supported the Apostles in putting on such a big show is to test our strength!" "Huh?" The turn of events came too quickly, and Ou Yang didn't react at all.

But the reason behind it is not that complicated.

Although it has been less than a year since the outbreak of the pandemic, the military strength of the United States has shrunk significantly. Apart from the University of Tokyo, almost all other allies have cut off contact with the United States, and the fleet is only carrying out blockade missions on the sea, with all of them concentrated on the blockade line.

The main force of the University of Tokyo was also on the blockade line. Only some warships approached the US mainland to evacuate their compatriots, and the US did not cause any trouble for the University of Tokyo regarding the evacuation of its citizens.

At least on the surface, they didn't look for it.

This is also one of the foundations of cooperation between the two sides.

However, not all Americans are willing to see deep cooperation between the two major powers. It would not be surprising if those Americans whose vested interests have been severely damaged by the cooperation tried to cause some trouble!
"We've developed too fast these past few years, so fast that we've unknowingly left the US behind!"

Lu Wei's words were nonsensical, but Ou Yang understood them perfectly.

The reason why the United States dominates the world is not only because of its trade system that benefits the entire world, but also because the United States is far ahead of the world in military technology.

If they could build stealth fighters in the 1990s, allowing them to enter and exit the skies of war zones as if they were in an empty land, wouldn't you be scared?
It's not true that we weren't afraid. In those years, Xida University would frequently send aircraft carrier battle groups, causing Dongda University a lot of trouble.

But what about the University of Tokyo now?
Stealth fighter jets took to the skies this morning, and there are two of them.

As to which is more advanced, Ou Yang really doesn't know, but it's obvious that the combat system developed by Dongda based on its own combat concepts is indeed much more advanced than that of Xida.

Having been used to being the leader, Xida naturally felt resentful and, like a neglected child, always wanted to cause trouble for Dongda to demonstrate its own status.

However, due to the impact of the pandemic, Lao Mi's situation is deteriorating day by day.

Most of the old Americans are too busy to care about such things, but there are also some who are unwilling to be subordinate to others, and are even willing to cooperate with the apostles, just to prove that West University is still powerful.

Therefore, those shady characters would provide the apostles with various weapons and equipment, and might even send personnel to join them, taking advantage of the apostles' attack on the transport ship to challenge the University of Tokyo.

To be honest, Ouyang thought this behavior was incredibly childish; no rational, normal adult would do something like that.

However, it must be admitted that many Americans have extremely peculiar thought processes, and it is not surprising that they do some outrageous things.

Well, perhaps the immune individuals in the upper echelons of the US are members of the Apostles, or even high-ranking members, and supporting the Apostles' actions is only natural for them.

Of course, there is another possibility: that the apostles used phagocytogen or other means to secretly control a big shot or many powerful figures in the United States, and quietly set up a hidden protective umbrella in the upper echelons of the United States!

Thinking of this, Ou Yang felt a chill of fear and immediately told Lu Wei what he was thinking.

After hearing this, Lu Wei flicked his cigarette butt into the water: "The higher-ups have also considered this, but the investigation will take time. Don't worry, this matter is not over yet!"
