We offered you a summer job, but you went and became a mercenary?

Lei Hu suddenly lifted his right foot off the brake and slammed on the accelerator.

boom!

The V8 engine of the heavy armored off-road vehicle roared deafeningly.

The tires spun wildly on the snow, kicking up clouds of snow.

The massive vehicle, like a raging steel behemoth, plunged down the steep slope directly toward the western camp gate in the center of the basin.

The speed surged to its maximum in just a few seconds.

One hundred kilometers!

120 kilometers!

The edge of the basin.

The Western mercenaries on guard duty looked up sharply when they heard the roar of the engine.

They saw an off-road vehicle with Chinese military license plates, not slowing down at all, charging straight toward their high-voltage power grid with an unstoppable, ferocious momentum.

The thick cable snapped instantly, sending sparks flying everywhere in the air.

Several Western mercenaries, who were enjoying themselves with wine glasses around the barbecue grill, had no time to react before the heavy, bulletproof front of the vehicle slammed into their chests.

The cracking sound continued.

Seven or eight burly white men, each 1.9 meters tall, were sent flying and crashed heavily onto rocks more than ten meters away. They coughed up a mouthful of blood and passed out without even uttering a sound.

Lei Hu gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and slammed on the brakes with his right foot.

The heavy anti-skid tires left four extremely conspicuous black skid marks on the dark brown rocky ground, accompanied by the smell of burning rubber, as the off-road vehicle completed an extremely beautiful drift in the center of the camp.

The car came to a stop sideways, steadily positioned between the surrounded Chinese agents and Western commander-in-chief Arthur.

boom! boom! boom!

The car doors opened in unison.

Lei Hu and several fully armed special forces soldiers, carrying assault rifles, jumped out of the vehicle with extreme speed and rushed directly to Zhao Gang, shielding the wounded Chinese special agents behind them.

"Old Zhao! Hang in there!" Lei Hu grabbed the swaying Zhao Gang and looked at the other man's twisted and broken arm, his eyes instantly turning red.

Zhao Gang spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and gave a bitter laugh.

"Old Lei, have you lost your mind? There are hundreds of foreigners guarding this place, and you're driving in in a beat-up Jeep to your death?!"

"Enough talk!" Lei Hu snapped the bolt back, pointing the gun directly at Arthur in front of him. "Even if I have to die here today, I'm bringing you all home!"

Just then, the passenger door slowly opened.

Lin Ye held a tissue he had used to wipe his mouth in his hand, yawned deeply, and slowly got out of the car.

He casually tossed the tissue into a nearby, still-burning barbecue grill and turned to look at Lei Hu.

"Commander Lei, that's impressive driving skill," Lin Ye said admiringly. "You drifted smoothly; my self-heating hot pot soup didn't spill at all. I'll have Old Zhao give you an Outstanding Driver Award later; that deserves a bonus."

Arthur, standing opposite him, looked extremely grim.

His extremely expensive silver-white heavy full-body armor was splattered with mud from the off-road vehicle tires.

For an SS-level light-elemental ability user who is extremely particular about appearances, this is an utter disgrace.

Arthur suddenly raised his hand.

The hundreds of Western superhumans around immediately reacted, and various violent supernatural lights lit up one after another in the camp.

Flames, frost, wind blades, and gravitational fields—multicolored energy fluctuations completely disrupted the air in the entire basin.

The muzzles of dozens of heavy laser defense towers turned in unison, their red locking beams all focused on the off-road vehicle and Lin Ye and his group.

It was surrounded by layers upon layers of buildings, completely impenetrable.

"Who do you think is so brave as to charge straight into my main camp?"

Arthur's gaze swept over Lin Ye, finally settling on the red, white, and blue snakeskin bag that Xia Wanqiu had dragged off the car.

He suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter, his laughter filled with cruelty and disdain.

"You're that Shura who's been hyped up to the skies on the dark web?"

Arthur pointed at Lin Ye, his tone extremely arrogant.

"You killed some ordinary people in the Middle East and a few S-rank trash heading to Jiangcheng, and you really think you're invincible? Don't you even know where you are?!"

"Hundreds of Western elites, plus myself, an SS-rank light-elemental controller. You actually dare to come here alone to die?"

Faced with this impenetrable encirclement, Lei Hu and the elite special forces soldiers behind him were sweating profusely, their foreheads dripping with cold sweat.

There's no way to fight this.

The difference in numbers was simply too great; a single volley of supernatural abilities from the enemy could obliterate them, along with their vehicle.

Lei Hu gritted his teeth and spoke to Lin Ye in a low voice.

"General Lin, there are too many of them. A few of us veterans will hold the line and draw their fire, while you take Miss Xia and Zhao Gang and retreat first! As long as we're alive, we can always fight again!"

Lin Ye completely ignored Lei Hu's tragic speech.

He didn't even glance at Arthur.

Lin Ye put his hands in his pockets, looked up, and gazed past the swaggering Western superhumans, locking his eyes directly onto the hundred-meter-tall bronze gate in mid-air.

"This dilapidated door doesn't even have a keyhole."

Lin Ye turned to look at Xia Wanqiu, who was carrying a tactical backpack, and asked her in a very serious tone.

"Didn't you read your family's ancestral book? Does it say how to open this door? We can't just knock, can we?"

Xia Wanqiu quickly put down the plastic bag in her hand and took out the black-covered notebook from her tactical backpack.

She quickly flipped through a few pages, her gaze settling on a line of text.

"Found it!"

Xia Wanqiu pointed to the bronze gate in mid-air and loudly reported to the leader.

"Ancient books record that this door is engraved with ancient defensive array patterns, and the array's core is located in the very center of the door seam."

"To forcibly break the seal, an extremely large and concentrated amount of energy must be used to bombard the core of the formation in an instant."

Xia Wanqiu quickly calculated the energy units in the ancient book in her mind, and her expression turned somewhat ugly.

"It would take the combined power of ten Grandmasters at their peak, or the combined power of ten S-rank peak experts, to break through the door at the same time."

The combined power of ten Grandmasters at their peak!

Upon hearing this condition, Lei Hu, Zhao Gang, and the others felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

The number of top-tier Grandmasters in the entire Dragon Kingdom is very limited, let alone gathering ten of them at the same time and having them fight together in the extreme environment of Kunlun Mountain.

This is simply an impossible task.

Arthur, standing opposite him, heard it clearly, and he burst into extremely shrill laughter again.

"Did you hear that, you monkeys of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Arthur pointed at the bronze door, his face full of mockery.

"The combined power of ten peak S-rank experts! How can your Dragon Kingdom open the gate?"

"With just your few broken guns? Or with that snakeskin sack full of scrap metal?"

Arthur took a step forward, and his silver armor emitted an extremely dazzling light.

"Now, kneel down right now! Kneel your heads against the rocks!"

"Once we break down the gate and take the treasures from the secret realm, if we're in a good mood, we might reward you with some scraps!"

The hundreds of Western superhumans around them joined in the commotion, and all sorts of vulgarities drifted over with the wind and snow.

Lin Ye stood there, picked at his ear, and looked disgusted.

Just then, a sound suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! Host detected has arrived at the entrance to the Kunlun Secret Realm!]

[Exclusive business trip rewards have been officially distributed!]

[The individual nuclear weapon launcher (with 3 miniature nuclear warheads included) has been added to the system storage!]

[Max level heavy weapon mastery is being infused...]
