Chapter 72 Chapter 56 Bottomless Abyss_2
72 Chapter 56 Bottomless Abyss_2
Yan Fei was taken aback, as he had only intended to extract some information, but he unexpectedly obtained a wealth of intelligence from the blond woman's words. The first piece of information was about Captain China, who, according to the blond woman, seemed to be extremely formidable. Even for an expert like her to attempt to seize the rusted gear, she would need to lead Captain China away first; otherwise, there was no chance of success. From this, one could imagine just how powerful Captain China must be.
The second piece of information was that the rusted gear appeared to be very important. It was not merely an essential item for drone upgrades; there seemed to be other secrets hidden within. Moreover, these secrets were not only known to the blond woman and the forces behind her, but Captain China's side was also aware of them, otherwise, they wouldn't have come to snatch it in unity. Yan Fei preliminarily speculated that this object might contain some unknown technology, possibly advanced tech. Otherwise, the blond woman wouldn't have mentioned that China's technology was becoming increasingly formidable.
Yan Fei was mistaken for being part of Captain China's team, certainly because the blond woman's people had lured Captain China away. So, she assumed he was acting in place of Captain China. Since the blond woman believed that Captain China's people would appear, they were almost certain to show up. As to why they hadn't appeared on the scene, it was very likely that he and Sam had taken earlier action and they might have now also been on their way to the museum...
Yan Fei suddenly remembered something else. It was the incident he had previously discovered where the domestic news about the opening of the Kenya Museum had been replaced. At the time, he didn't know the reason but now, given that the blond woman's adversary was named Captain China, it was evident this Captain China must be connected to China. It should have been easy for him to mobilize national strength to switch out a seemingly inconsequential news piece!
Perhaps no one knew the purpose of the rusted gear at first, so the news was broadcasted as is. It was only after Captain China discovered it that the news was replaced to conceal the true nature of the matter.
While Yan Fei was hypothesizing about the truth of the incident, he continued to try extracting information, saying, "We have already made significant breakthroughs in studying this object. You've seen for yourself, we've emulated your Predator drones and then modified them, easily shooting down your fighter jets. I just made that thing disappear, which is also an application of one of the technologies."
Upon hearing Yan Fei's words, the blond woman suddenly showed an unusual expression and said, "You are not one of Captain China's men, you almost deceived me."
Yan Fei was shocked upon realizing his misunderstanding. His words had alerted the blond woman and he immediately felt regret.
A cold smirk appeared on the blond woman's face as she said, "Since you are not one of Captain China's men, I advise you to return the object to me. I can let bygones be bygones and allow you to leave safely. Otherwise, your end will be very miserable."
Seeing his ploy fail, Yan Fei ceased his attempt to extract information and declared, "If that's the case, then you can go to hell!"
The blond woman, observing Yan Fei's brash behavior, anxiously said, "Before you act, think carefully. My true identity is that of a senior intelligence officer with the US CIA. If you kill me, you'll be opposing the CIA. They will target you, and you'll never have peace."
Realizing she was indeed an important person from the United States, no wonder she could mobilize US Army troops and fighter jets, Yan Fei laughed and said, "You're with the CIA, which gives me even more reason to kill you. Should I let you go just so you can seek revenge later on? Besides, I've destroyed so many of your planes and killed over a hundred of your soldiers, causing such substantial losses. Do you think you would let me go?"
Seeing the unmistakable intent to kill in Yan Fei's eyes, the blond woman became increasingly panicked and said, "Actually, I have another identity. I am Tripiṭaka's disciple, so you can't kill me."
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei appeared somewhat hesitant. But then he suddenly stepped forward, grasped the blond woman's neck in one swoop. As it turned out, while the blond woman had been stalling for time, she was secretly gathering strength, waiting for an opportunity to strike back and turn the tables. Little did she know that Yan Fei had already seen through it all. He pretended to hesitate on the surface but seized the moment to launch a sneak attack.
The blond woman was alarmed, not expecting Yan Fei to launch a sudden attack. With her severe injuries and greatly diminished strength, she was no match for Yan Fei, who successfully ambushed her, dissipating the power she had accumulated. Yan Fei clutched the blond woman's neck with force and with one swift motion, broke it, leaving her neck in two pieces, a strange expression on her face.
Only after Yan Fei had dealt with the blond woman did he truly breathe a sigh of relief. Faced with an adversary who was full of tricks and possessed exceptional strength, he had to be fully vigilant lest she turned the tables on him.
As Yan Fei was feeling relieved, he noticed a strange device fall from the blond woman's body and roll away. Upon closer examination, he discovered that the device was only the size of a thumb, flashing red lights on the ground. Shocked, Yan Fei saw the blond woman's face break into a triumphant smile before she died completely.
Yan Fei didn't understand what the red-light flashing device was, but instinctively felt danger. As he moved to pick it up and throw it off the cliff into the waterfall, he heard an unusual noise from the sky. Looking up, he saw a streak of fire cutting across the sky above him, a massive missile diving towards him at high speed.
In the blink of an eye, Yan Fei realized what the red-light flashing device on the ground was: a missile beacon. It was originally meant for ground personnel to direct missile strikes on targets. His drones had taken out the US Army's fighter jets in the area, but nearby there must be US Navy warships or an Army base present. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The blond woman must have communicated with the warship or base commander to launch a missile attack on this location. As a result, the US Army had initiated a long-range missile attack from a warship situated on the sea surface or a military base. The device was used to guide the missile strike. The drones had conducted a quantum radar scan before leaving the vicinity, and at that time, no missiles were detected in flight, indicating that this missile had just been launched and the launch site must not have been far from this location.
At this moment, Yan Fei also understood the sly smile on the blond woman's face as she lay dying; she might have died, but Yan Fei would have to join her in death.
Although Yan Fei realized all of this, with the device some distance from him and the missile nearly upon him, he no longer had time to kick it off the cliff. In desperation, he only had time to order the Auxiliary Brain to hide his drone in the shallow seabed near Kenya, after which he leaped into the bottomless abyss below.
Right as Yan Fei plunged into the abyss, the missile struck the beacon device on the ground, causing a deafening explosion.
Yan Fei swiftly fell from the cliff, but the shock wave produced by the explosion was even faster. In an instant, the shock wave caught up with Yan Fei in mid-air, engulfing him in its force, and he suffered immense damage.
Yan Fei was in excruciating pain, his vision went dark, and he immediately passed out. His body continued to fall, eventually swallowed by the darkness of the unfathomable abyss...
