Wasteland Commander-Chapter 448 - 139: Opening with a King Bomb

The fierce battle on the field quickly determined a winner.

The Dancer knew that today was not her chance. The Dawn Army nearby was watching intently, and if that bald guy unleashed another Spiritual Shock, any lapse from her might get her killed by the terrifying woman opposite.

The strength of the woman opposite her astonished her. She already was a Level 3 Mutant, nearly unbeatable in a one-on-one fight.

But the prowess of the girl opposite her was even greater.

The difference between Level 3 Mutants also varied, and the girl opposite clearly had been a Level 3 Mutant longer than she had.

So today there was no chance, and she decisively chose to flee.

When she decided to act, there was no hesitation. The Dancer dashed straight towards the door.

Qin Sibe pursued her, but the girl suddenly changed direction and dashed out the window at lightning speed.

This was the Dancer’s weakest moment. After enduring two Spiritual Shocks and the attacks from the Dawn Army experts, her physical and mental energy were exhausted.

At that moment, she even felt she might be killed by the girl opposite.

But at the critical moment, the girl’s blade paused slightly, giving her the chance to escape.

She successfully dashed out the window, and Qin Sibe immediately followed her.

Both of them were like two streaks of light, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.

"Sir, should we pursue them?"

Ye Fan looked at the two departing through the broken window, paused for a moment, and then said, "No need to chase them. We can’t catch up anyway. Level 3 Mutants won’t appear on the radar. Increase the guard. Let’s deal with the situation at the scene first."

Today was a live broadcast, and everyone saw Ye Fan getting attacked.

Seeing Ye Fan and Su Qiao safe and sound, everyone was outraged by the audacious act of the assassin, and Liu Jingyan became the target of national condemnation.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Fan directly declared war on Lingnan.

At the same time, he also ordered Su Qiao’s troops to enter the Highland Province, demanding Qin Han to complete the full reunification of all territories before the Lunar New Year.

Then, the Dawn Army took this opportunity to launch a series of strikes, thoroughly rooting out those harboring disloyal intentions within the territory.

Whether they were spies from the Lingnan Base or agents from other countries, they were all hit hard by the Dawn Army.

Even within Su Qiao’s territory, the Dawn Army began a comprehensive takeover, using this action as an opportunity for a massive search and arrest operation.

These were maneuvers prompted by Ye Fan’s intentions. As large swathes of territory fell into his hands, he had long planned to do this.

The power of the Military Intelligence Bureau was further enhanced, as Ye Fan directly replenished it with ten thousand spies and three thousand electronic warfare soldiers, placing them under its jurisdiction.

With abundant manpower, the Military Intelligence Bureau quickly launched a wave of white terror nationwide.

After getting engaged to Ye Fan, Su Qiao also chose to return to Yuanjing.

She planned to come back and discuss the wedding plans with Ye Fan once the country was unified.

As she was leaving, Ye Fan saw her off at the airport.

Before boarding, Su Qiao looked into Ye Fan’s eyes, calmly asking a few questions.

"Ye Fan, did you intentionally let Qin Sibe and that Dancer go?"

Su Qiao wasn’t a clueless woman, and with a woman’s intuitive sixth sense, she could perceive some truths.

Moreover, she was also at the Peak of Level 2, providing her with insight, and when the two women were fighting, she knew that if Ye Fan had ordered his subordinates to give their all then, the assassin wouldn’t have escaped.

She couldn’t understand why the assassin was allowed to flee. After much deliberation, she deduced an answer.

Ye Fan wanted to let Qin Sibe leave under the guise of this opportunity.

Thus, she posed her question.

Seeing Ye Fan remain silent, Su Qiao chuckled: "Qin Sibe... you know her, right?"

Ye Fan took a deep breath: "Maybe, but it no longer matters now."

Su Qiao gently took Ye Fan’s hand: "I don’t know exactly what happened, but I hope you can follow your heart and make the most appropriate choice."

Leaving Ye Fan with an ambiguous statement, Su Qiao boarded the plane and left.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly. What could he possibly say at this moment?

Human emotions are so complex that not even the most sophisticated computer in the world could compute them entirely.

Even he sometimes felt lost, unsure of what to do.

Letting Qin Sibe go might be the best choice for now.

But Ye Fan also knew, it wasn’t the time to get caught up in romantic sentiments.

He felt anger, and that anger needed to be vented.

Conquering Lingnan was a must, and Liu Jingyan had to be punished.

But such battles weren’t enough to vent all his pent-up rage.

He needed fiercer battles and more ruthless revenge to quell his internal turmoil somewhat.

Just as Ye Fan was fiercely choosing targets to vent his anger, a piece of news came.

The Shanshen Country, Foot Basin Chicken, and Rakshasa Country were holding a joint military exercise in the northern seas.

Seeing this news, Ye Fan immediately found the target for his outburst.

These countries have always been a severe threat to the Dawn Army.

Even before the apocalypse, these countries were a scourge. Their threat to the Empire was far more severe than that of the Curry Country, Maid Country, and Monkey Country.

Even the White Eagle Country, being separated by the ocean, posed less of a danger than they did.

Upon seeing this news, Ye Fan instructed the Dawn TV Station to begin reporting the current threat of the Three-Nation Alliance to the Empire.

The news reports detailed how these three countries had long opposed the Dawn Army, the threats posed to the Dawn Army, and their numerous interventions in the Qin Han civil war, among other incidents.

The main purpose of the report was to make the public realize that as long as the safety of the northern border was unresolved, the country would not have a day of peace.

Soon, the spirit of patriotism was aroused among the people. Many began criticizing the three countries and hoped that the Dawn Army could deploy troops to solve not only internal issues but external threats as well.

When the clamor at home reached a crescendo, Ye Fan directly responded to the public sentiment by announcing war on the Three-Nation Alliance.

.....

The Dawn Army’s reaction was not unexpected by the Three-Nation Alliance; they weren’t particularly afraid.

Among the three countries, Shanshen Country and the Foot Basin Chicken had never been attacked by the Dawn Army.

Only the Rakshasa Country had once lost a city, the Mountain and Sea Guard, at the border to the Dawn Army.

But that was a long time ago, and by now, almost everyone had forgotten about it.

Since they dared to conduct joint military exercises, they were ready for war.

The Rakshasa didn’t boast much, as they had lost to the Dawn Army before.

The Foot Basin Chicken also didn’t brag much; like a stealthy dog ready to bite, they had already finished their combat preparations.

It was Shanshen Country that was the loudest in its rabble-rousing.

This country, arrogant and conceited, felt inferior yet vain, worried about being looked down upon by others, often using insulting words to mock others to satisfy their lowly vanity.

Now that mobile networks had been restored, an international forum had emerged.

There were no network barriers between countries; everyone could speak up here.

For a time, the arrogant clamor of the Shanshen people filled the entire internet.

"What’s so great about the Dawn Army? Isn’t it just about tossing a few little mushroom bombs?"

"What mushroom bombs? They’re really just trucks filled with explosives."

"Hahaha! So that’s it. Those trucks can’t even make it to our Shanshen Country. Our vast mountains will trap their trucks."

"Stop joking. Would the Dawn Army dare come? According to what they’ve said, they’re like mice carrying guns, tough only at home. During the Battle of the Mountain and Sea Guard, they captured the city and retreated, not daring to linger in Rakshasa."

"If they don’t dare to offend Rakshasa, would they dare offend our great Shanshen nation?"

"Stop joking. They don’t have the courage to enter our territory. I’m afraid they’d wet their pants."

"Come on, Dawn Army, bring your rundown trucks over. My son is in need of some toys now."

These people criticized and mocked the Dawn Army to the fullest, demeaning them thoroughly.

Now Qin Han’s netizens also went online, engaging in direct online sparring with the people of Shanshen Country.

Netizens from some surrounding countries also joined the mocking, as Qin Han was on the rise, while the majority of these countries were still far from national restoration.

Even without resolving the zombie crisis, they felt the Dawn Army’s dominance and didn’t wish well for Qin Han.

So, basically, these people stood in opposition to Qin Han, claiming that the Dawn Army wouldn’t dare go to war with the Three-Nation Alliance.

They said the so-called declaration of war was mere bluffing.

These nauseating statements online were not something anyone would report to Ye Fan, but Ye Fan would go online himself.

After understanding the situation, Ye Fan directly issued an order.

The Fourth Field Division of the Dawn Army, with the support of armored troops, began crossing the border, advancing into the territory of Shanshen Country.

Furthermore, this unit was resupplied at Dawn City.

It’s winter in the north, and snow has started to fall, so apart from replenishing cold-weather supplies, a new type of soldier was also added.

Magnetic Storm Engineers!

Special troops capable of absorbing and releasing nuclear radiation.

The reason for equipping such a combat unit is that Ye Fan intended to use them to clear nuclear radiation and provide safety assurance for his troops entering Shanshen Country.

As for where the nuclear radiation came from?

That, of course, would appear after a nuclear bomb is released.

Ye Fan opened the system, selected the construction, and clicked on the Nuclear Bomb Launching Well.

The launching well had already been built and placed.

The countdown for the nuclear bomb launch had reached zero, ready to launch a nuclear bomb at any time.

Ye Fan no longer intended to be courteous with the Shanshen people, as over eighty percent of that country’s population opposed the Su Xishuang Army, and Ye Fan didn’t want to endure it any longer.

At the moment the Dawn Army crossed the border, Ye Fan directly ordered the launch of a nuclear bomb.

Carrying the most powerful nuclear warhead.

Target, the capital base city of Shanshen Country!
