40: Chapter 40: Squandering Millions to Buy Satellites! Space-Based Weapons Evaporate Destroyers!

Inside the underground fortress of the abandoned subway station.

Five hundred tons of gold bars were quickly cleared out, transported by a fleet of heavy trucks.

Anna knelt before the console, her hands typing rapidly on the keyboard.

Data on the large screen cascaded like a waterfall.

Following Chu Feng's instructions, she opened all underlying permissions of the Genesis Group's core server and connected it to Chu Feng's tactical network.

Watching the data integration complete instantly on the screen, Anna's eyes were filled with shock.

The Genesis artificial intelligence was the most cutting-edge technology in the USA.

Even if a hundred top hackers worked together, it would take months to crack.

But in front of Chu Feng's system, it didn't even last a second.

Anna had completely given up hope.

She climbed up from the floor, walked in front of Chu Feng, lowered her head, and said in a very soft voice: "Master, all permissions have been transferred. The control of the fortress now belongs to you."

Chu Feng sat on a chair nearby, smoking a cigar.

"Come back to the building with me."

Chu Feng stood up, not bothering with small talk.

Anna didn't dare to ask more questions and obediently followed behind.

The convoy drove out of the underground passage and returned to the streets of Los Santos.

Both sides of the street were piled with trash and abandoned cars.

Starving civilians hid in dark corners, watching these black-clad thugs driving armored vehicles with fearful eyes.

Returning to the top-floor suite of the Global Financial Center.

As soon as the heavy wooden door was pushed open, a scent of high-end perfume rushed towards them.

Alice was the first to greet them.

She was wearing an oversized men's white shirt, the hem just covering the tops of her thighs, leaving her fair, straight legs exposed.

Like a clingy Persian cat, she threw herself directly into Chu Feng's arms, hooked her hands around Chu Feng's neck, and kissed the man on the cheek.

"Master, you're back. Alice missed you so much."

Jessica walked over holding a pair of clean slippers and knelt on the floor to change Chu Feng's shoes.

Evelyn held a glass of freshly prepared iced liquor, standing obediently by the sofa waiting.

Anna stood by the door, watching these four women who were unreachable in the outside world, yet were now using every means to compete for one man's attention.

She took a deep breath, silently walked to the side, and joined the ranks of those serving him.

She took the suit jacket Chu Feng had taken off and carefully hung it on the coat rack.

Chu Feng walked to the sofa and sat down, taking a sip from the glass Evelyn handed him.

Alice took the opportunity to snuggle into Chu Feng's arms, sitting on the man's lap, and peeled a grape to feed into Chu Feng's mouth.

While enjoying the women's service, Chu Feng opened the black market mall in his mind.

There was a huge sum of 1.6 million in his account.

It had to be spent and converted into solid combat power.

The USA Navy's 7th Fleet had already blockaded the West Coast.

Hundreds of warships were blocking outside Los Santos, cutting off the undersea fiber optic cables.

Politicians in Washington dared not send the army into the city, intending to use the navy to turn Los Santos into a dead city.

Conventional weapons could not hit the warships at sea.

A more lethal trump card was needed.

"System, spend 1,000 points to refresh the high-end mall."

A dark red light screen flashed, and three items appeared.

[1. Deep-sea nuclear-powered submarine fleet (including twelve strategic nuclear submarines, fully loaded with torpedoes and submarine-launched missiles)]

[Price]: 800,000 Wealth Points.

[2. Heavenly Punishment Orbital Ion Cannon Satellite Network (including three synchronous orbit satellites, capable of firing high-energy ion beams at any coordinate on the surface, ignoring air defense interception)]

[Price]: 1,000,000 Wealth Points.

[3. genetically enhanced cloning factory (can automatically generate one thousand absolutely loyal Clone Warriors every day, equipped with basic weapons)]

[Price]: 500,000 Wealth Points.

Chu Feng looked at the second item without hesitation.

Orbital ion cannon satellite.

This thing hung in space, able to strike anywhere it wanted; the naval fleet was just a living target in front of it.

"Purchase the second item! Deploy immediately!"

One million Wealth Points were deducted instantly.

[Ding! Heavenly Punishment Orbital Ion Cannon Satellite Network purchased successfully!]

[Satellites have automatically entered geostationary orbit, coordinates locked. Fire control system has been connected to the tactical network.]

The corners of Chu Feng's mouth curled up.

Spending one million to buy the Sword of Damocles hanging over the whole world.

Just then, the holographic screen in the center of the hall suddenly lit up with a red alarm.

An image of a special forces thug appeared.

"Boss. A destroyer fleet of the 7th Fleet is approaching the coast. It is only ten nautical miles from the coastline."

"They issued an ultimatum on the public channel, demanding we release the hostages, otherwise they will bombard the building with naval guns in five minutes."

Chu Feng looked at the radar image of the sea captured on the screen.

Three massive Aegis destroyers were arrayed on the sea surface, their 127mm main guns raised, aiming at the direction of the city center.

Evelyn and Anna turned pale when they heard the news.

The power of naval guns far exceeded that of army artillery; a few shells could blow the top floor of the building off.

"Bombard the building?"

Chu Feng laughed, pushed Alice out of his arms, stood up, and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Switch the view to the open sea," Chu Feng ordered.

The holographic screen instantly switched to a high-definition image of the sea captured by the building's top-floor radar.

On the distant horizon, three grey-white destroyers were clearly visible.

Chu Feng's consciousness connected directly to the ion cannon satellite in the sky.

"Lock onto the destroyer in the middle."

"Fire."

No countdown, no warning.

In the sky over the open sea, the clouds were suddenly torn apart by a terrifying force.

A blinding blue beam of light descended straight down from outer space, moving so fast that the naked eye could not capture it at all.

There was no explosion, nor was there any fire.

Only a teeth-grinding "zila" sound was heard.

The blue light instantly enveloped the largest Aegis destroyer on the sea.

A few seconds later, the light beam disappeared.

On the holographic screen, only a patch of churning, boiling seawater remained, emitting thick white steam.

The destroyer, over a hundred meters long and costing billions of dollars, didn't even leave behind a piece of steel wreckage; it was vaporized instantly by the high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees!

The sailors on the other two destroyers were stunned!

They watched helplessly as their flagship vanished into thin air before their eyes, so terrified that they forgot to sound the alarm, desperately turning the rudder and fleeing towards the deep sea like madmen.

Washington, The Pentagon.

The strategic command center was deathly silent!

The large screen was also playing the footage of the destroyer being vaporized by the blue light.

All the generals and politicians had their mouths wide open, their bodies stiff.

The water cup in the white-haired old man's hand fell to the ground and shattered!
