"Who is that?"

"Which unit is he from?"

"Is he crazy?!"

"It’s over, ’Gonggong’ will explode prematurely."

"Is it Can Society’s backup plan?"

Witnessing this scene, countless people cried out in shock.

Especially in the defense department, some couldn’t help but curse loudly, "Gonggong" exploding at this position would cause damage far beyond their ability to bear.

Moreover, everything happened too suddenly, they didn’t even have time to remedy it.

Just in this situation that could be described as the focus of all attention.

The front end of "Gonggong" touched the virtual image of the Round Fan in Lv Bai’s hand.

Without a doubt, although this controllable chain reaction missile isn’t some supernatural energy, it’s clearly also judged as an attack.

And since it’s an attack, Lv Bai’s ability [Uchiha Bounce] can convert it into the nature of the wind.

Thus, under the shocked and horrified gaze of innumerable people, this missile codenamed Gonggong astonishingly disappeared from head to tail in a way that defies the rules of the physical world. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Yes, it just disappeared without any substance left behind.

The wind itself is simply a phenomenon of air movement created by unequal air pressure.

Lv Bai’s preactivation of [Wind Manipulation] made everything seem so calm and peaceful.

Since the matter has been resolved, Lv Bai saw no need to flaunt being airborne, swiftly descending back to the ground.

Li Shan’s mouth was open wide, as if he could fit in two duck eggs: "Junior... you?"

He just felt that Lv Bai’s flying posture looked familiar, and he didn’t even notice that his own [Wind Manipulation] was no longer usable.

Right now he didn’t have the heart to check his system interface either, all his attention was on Lv Bai.

"Junior, I’ve already tried my best to overestimate you, but I didn’t expect this. Looks like as your senior, I’ll have to rely on you from now on."

Speaking of which, he was a bit curious: "But exactly how many abilities do you have? Just based on your performance earlier, I estimate you used at least two abilities. I remember you just became an official Death Fighter, right?"

After all, an experienced Death Fighter retains abilities, so in this regard, their insight shouldn’t be weak.

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly he thought of something: "Damn, that guy who made a stunning debut in the rankings, named Murphy, isn’t that you?!"

"The clever Murphy." Lv Bai didn’t hide it either.

Receiving a definitive answer, Li Shan couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Pu Xueli just stared dazedly at Lv Bai after he landed, as if meeting him for the first time.

Without exaggeration, due to Lv Bai’s formidable performance in his previous three Death Fighter duels and the rankings, Pu Xueli’s acceptance of Lv Bai’s strength was not low.

But often, understanding from information and witnessing personally bring different levels of shock.

For example, the operational expenses of an F1 team in a year are almost hundreds of millions of dollars, which indeed sounds expensive, but most people don’t have any real sense of this number.

When you actually exchange that money into hundred-yuan bills and place it in front of you, how much? The answer is several dozen tons, stacked up, using a thickness of one centimeter for ten thousand yuan, it can reach kilometers high.

Only at this point can you truly realize how much money this really is.

After being silent for a long time, Pu Xueli finally patted Lv Bai’s shoulder.

"The youth are fearsome, the youth are fearsome..."

...

Defense Department.

The command room was in dead silence.

The consultants and senior officials present still hadn’t shaken off that confused feeling.

Originally a crisis that would threaten at least tens of millions of people was dismissed so casually by someone, leaving everyone present with a huge sense of unreality.

It’s not that they’re unaware of the myriad abilities of Death Fighters, knowing that a large portion of officers are themselves official Death Fighters.

Moreover, their interception plan hadn’t ruled out the possibility of deploying Cheng Wu Zhi.

It’s exactly because they know among the various abilities of Death Fighters, there might just be some ability that could yield miraculous results.

But the main issue was that Lv Bai’s intervention was too sudden, completely out of their expectations.

It felt like a pie fell from the sky and landed on their heads.

They hadn’t done anything yet.

One consultant seemed not to react, and subconsciously asked, "Uh... should we still notify City Council to prepare for disaster relief work?"

The Defense Minister glanced at this consultant and snapped, "Prepare for what? Where’s the disaster?"

Probably finding mere cursing unsatisfying, or perhaps wanting to vent his inner joy, he also kicked the consultant.

He then turned to look at the surrounding people who were showing happiness and admonished them: "Look at you guys, so many people, discussing plans for so long, and you couldn’t match one young man."

After venting, he was barely able to control his emotions, knocked on the table, "Bring me that young man’s file to look at. Such outstanding talent should surely enter our Defense Department."

...

The streets of Habitable City were quite lively, many people were drawn out by the sharp blast of the missile cutting through the sky to see the excitement.

Thanks to Lv Bai choosing a more subdued approach to the situation, there was no earth-shattering scene.

The populace had no idea their families had just narrowly escaped disaster.

After all, these ordinary citizens are not privileged to know the inner details.

Even if an explosion truly occurred, only these ordinary citizens would face life-threatening danger, and it wouldn’t change a thing.

A neon-lit bar.

Vice President Zheng and Kang Meiru stood at the bar’s entrance, both looking unhappy.

Vice President Zheng’s expression could actually be described as sinister.

He genuinely didn’t expect that with all his careful planning, which should have left a profound memory on the sanctuary this New Birth Festival day, it ended so anticlimactically.

Losing so many key members of Can Society and including Ding Zhongmin, wasting so much effort.

The sole result was merely revealing the video of the City Council wielding its butcher’s knife.

Strictly speaking, this only slightly weakened City Council’s image in people’s eyes.

And it’s widely known, the City Council’s image in the eyes of the grassroots wasn’t great to begin with, and the City Council itself doesn’t care about what these people think.

This operation by Can Society could be described as a major defeat. As the operation leader, Vice President Zheng’s position would be unstable without a personal sacrifice.

Thinking about the figure that appeared in the sky earlier, the more Vice President Zheng thought about it, the more annoyed he became: "It’s all because of that kid, only he made us fall short."

Kang Meiru wasn’t too disheartened, after all, the failure of this operation wasn’t her responsibility.

She turned to say, "President Zheng, it seems we need to increase the importance placed on Murphy."

Vice President Zheng loosened his tie, took a deep breath, and with clenched teeth said, "We really should place more emphasis."
