Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 570 Before the Hot War
"That's the basic situation... The United States is monitoring our Allied Forces' mechanical dragons, and they already have clear plans for subversion and threats." Mu Xiang pointed to several United States agents who were tied together. These people were not the dashing men in black from the movies; they looked like ordinary people doing different jobs in the arena.

At this moment, they were all bruised and swollen. Although they hadn't been knocked unconscious, their eyelids had almost completely obscured their vision, leaving them with only their ears to hear questions and their mouths to answer them.

"To be honest, I'm not sure if the surveillance was before or after that fight. Maybe in their script, we were supposed to be ganged up on and detained, and then threatened and turned before you could rescue us or something." Mu Xiang shrugged.

Alexei's administrative adjutant wiped the sweat from his face. He glanced at the agents who were tied together and thought that this young man from the University of the East was even more rough than his group of Slavs. Was this guy about to turn on their turf and start a fight?

So... given the incredible combat power of these mechanical dragons, can the United States really threaten them without resorting to extreme measures?
Alexei remained silent. The old man had been chatting with Alexander about how to continue winning in gladiatorial combat and how to help Mu Xiang and the others make new progress. Suddenly, Mu Xiang grabbed a group of monitors and said he wanted to settle scores with the United States.

Fortunately, he told Alexander to go about his business, otherwise Alexander would have caused trouble again.

"So what are your thoughts? It seems you represent the attitude of the rest of you," Alexei said, tapping the table.

Mu Xiang shrugged: "Since you say we have no way to deal with them directly, why don't we report this to the referee committee? Isn't this unfair competition?"

When Mu Xiang mentioned the referee committee, he emphasized his words intentionally or unintentionally, which startled Alexei and his adjutant.

“Hmm… While espionage between two countries is a matter of their respective foreign and domestic affairs, the referee committee does have the right and obligation to mediate if it occurs during a gladiatorial contest.” Alexei nodded slightly, but he had no idea why this rule had never been used before.

Mu Xiang sighed inwardly. Sure enough, he still had to use Zhang Jie's hints, otherwise the old man probably wouldn't have remembered this matter at all... That's right, unless it's a major event that requires the referee committee to hold a hearing, the two countries almost never think of the referee committee when they are in a dispute.

"Then... let's contact the referee committee and ask them to conduct arbitration."

Soon, Alexei hung up the communication with a solemn expression, then looked up at Mu Xiang: "We can't get in touch with the referee committee."

Mu Xiang feigned surprise, then shrugged: "Could it be that they've run into trouble too?"

"So how do we deal with this?" the adjutant asked the crucial question.

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses: "Let's maintain this situation for now. We definitely can't just let them go... We'll have them guarded by the Allied forces. The three wars in Australia are over, and we can prepare to return to base. If the United States pretends to be dead, we'll take them away."

Alexei remained silent for a while: "Let's leave it at that for now. We can conduct the interrogation when we get back, and then initiate extradition proceedings with the United States... The United States has indeed increased its infiltration of the Allied Powers during this period, and we should deal with it seriously."

"Looks like you weren't in charge of this, so you really don't know how far the Allied intelligence system has infiltrated the United States..." After passing these matters on to Alexei, Mu Xiang calmly returned to his room. He then received Zhang Jie's mission report... that the Deep Network had been severely damaged, with only a final portion remaining. Despite the Central Continent Team deliberately holding back, they had the referee committee activate the final protective measures.

No, strictly speaking, it's not a protective measure... but a counter-attack measure. That is, after they are completely destroyed, with the disappearance of the Earth's deep network, remote servers will also receive this information that transcends ordinary data transmission levels. In other words, as long as the Central Continent Team goes all out, their backers will definitely receive the news.

"Is it acceptable... Is the referee committee currently in a state of semi-dead?" Mu Xiang asked Zhang Jie and Liu Xi to confirm.

Zhang Jie shrugged: "I have destroyed everything that needed to be destroyed in the data space, as you requested."

“That’s right, Zhang Jie’s mission is complete… I’ve also obtained the historical information about the period before the nuclear war, as well as some documents from Dongda University. All that’s left is to decode them,” Liu Xi said calmly on the other end of the earpiece. “I guess there’s some information in there that you might find interesting?”

"Really?" Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "So now the only thing the referee committee can interfere with is the United States' network?"

“That’s right… but you’re still quite audacious. You clearly stated that if it triggers a global war, everyone will be wiped out, yet you still dared to deliberately hand the knife to the referee committee,” Liu Xi said sarcastically.

Mu Xiang sneered: "I've said it before, cause and effect are everywhere. If the judgment were too broad, we wouldn't be able to survive... We've already unearthed something new within the film's worldview, and that's probably already factored into our performance. Based on our experience from so many shows, this situation doesn't apply to the initial default rules, does it?"

"So you're convinced... if the tribunal attacks us, even if we use the United States' technology, the God won't judge it as us starting a global war?" Zheng Zha scratched his head.

Mu Xiang frowned and said, "How many roundabout ways have we gone through? If you've ever done any logic problems, you'd know there's no strong connection between 'us' and 'starting a hot war,' right?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zheng Zha raised his hands in surrender, "So, on our way back tomorrow, will we have to deal with some attacks? Can we use our abilities freely now?"

Mu Xiang shook his head: "Your abilities are too conspicuous. It would be better to let Zhang Jie take action... However, it would be too disrespectful to let you take action before an attack of this level. I have already had Alexei arrange an integrated flight formation of transport mechs, fully in accordance with wartime standards... so you understand."

Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie exchanged a glance and chuckled, "Got it, got it, let the newbies get some experience, right?"

Luo Gandao, who had been told there was nothing to do today, was fast asleep in his bed, completely unaware that the veterans had assigned him a task that could not be taken lightly...
