117: A transnational manhunt! Operation Thunder by Dragon Shield!

When Lu Chen's words, filled with the indifference and guidance of a deity, "This is what you call a Dimensionality Reduction Strike," clearly echoed in the master control room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, the super-brain of heavenly craft, composed of infinite data, completely crashed once again.

"I... I understand, Master!"

She stared blankly at her young master, whose vision had completely flown beyond the Solar System and was currently playing a game of "dark forest" with the entire world.

Her brilliant, intelligent eyes were filled with unparalleled adoration!

So this is what a real cyberwar is!

Do not move unless necessary! But when you do, strike with the force of a thunderbolt!

Do not give the enemy any time or opportunity to react!

Strangle all potential threats in the cradle directly from the physical level!

Brilliant! Truly brilliant!

Meanwhile, after that unprecedented cyber massacre ended, a much bloodier and more cruel reality-based purge was quietly beginning!

"Report, Director Long!"

In the master control room of the Dragon Shield Bureau, Qin Feng's voice, filled with irrepressible excitement, rang out through the internal communication system!

"We have successfully locked onto the physical location of 'the Professor'!"

"He is in an abandoned basement in Malta, a small subsidiary country of the Western Alliance!"

"Oh?"

A cold, icy glint flashed through Long Weiguo's sharp eyes!

"Then what are you waiting for?"

"I don't care what method you use!"

"Even if you have to sail an aircraft carrier over there!"

"You must, within twenty-four hours!"

"Bring that damn rat back to me..."

"Alive!"

"Yes!"

That night, three unmarked, state-of-the-art "Y-20" transport planes, escorted by a dozen "J-20" fighter jets fully loaded with ammunition, cut through the pitch-black night sky silently like a flock of black phantoms from hell!

They sped toward that Mediterranean small country thousands of miles away!

Their target was only one!

That was — "the Professor"!

The network god who once made all cybersecurity experts around the world tremble with fear!

At this moment, in that dark and damp basement in Malta, "the Professor" was still immersed in the immense fear and despair of being ruthlessly crushed by heavenly craft!

He slumped in his chair like a dead dog!

His small eyes, which were always filled with arrogance and disdain, were now ash-gray!

He knew. He was finished.

He, an emperor who had lorded over the cyber world for decades!

Today! Had been ruthlessly stripped of all his authority by a true deity!

And what awaited him was an endless judgment from that Eastern nation!

"Boom—!!!"

Just then! A deafening, terrifying roar suddenly came from above his head!

The entire basement shook violently!

It was as if a magnitude 12 super earthquake had occurred!

"What's happening?!"

"The Professor" sprang up from his chair like a startled fat pig!

He looked up in horror at the three-meter-thick ceiling made of special reinforced concrete!

He saw that the indestructible ceiling had suddenly developed hideous, terrifying cracks without any warning!

Then! "Boom!!!"

With an even more terrifying roar!

The entire ceiling was instantly ripped open by an irresistible, immense force!

Countless stones mixed with steel bars poured down like a rainstorm!

The next second!

A dozen heavily armed, terrifying figures exuding cold killing intent, like demon gods crawling out of hell!

Descended from the sky!

The dark barrels of the assault rifles in their hands locked onto his fat body in an instant!

"No—"

"The Professor's" legs went soft, and he slumped directly onto the floor!

His fat face, twisted with fear, was filled with unprecedented horror and despair, as if he had seen a ghost!

He never dreamed!

That the people of the Xia Nation would actually dare to risk provoking a huge international dispute!

To send special forces to catch him across borders?!

This is f*cking unfair play, right?!

"Don't move!"

A cold, emotionless shout in Chinese rang through the entire basement!

"The Professor," like a quail scared out of its wits, raised his hands high!

He didn't dare to move a muscle!

He knew. From this moment on.

He, the "network god" who once made the whole world tremble!

Would completely become a prisoner of that Eastern nation!

Meanwhile, at the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, Long Weiguo watched the "catching a turtle in a jar" drama being transmitted in real-time on the screen in front of him from the tactical cameras worn by the "Dragon Flame" special forces members.

On his face, which was usually as steady as a mountain, a hearty and satisfying smile appeared!

"Beautiful!"

He slapped his thigh hard!

"That was f*cking beautiful!"

"I'd like to see!"

"Now that we've caught them red-handed!"

"How those sons of b*tches in the Western Alliance can still argue with us!"

He picked up the internal communication phone and dialed that familiar number.

His voice was filled with irrepressible excitement!

"Kid Lu Chen! The person has been caught!"

"How is it?"

"Did I do a clean job this time?"

On the other end of the phone came Lu Chen's usually calm voice.

Only this time, there was a hint of a faint smile in his voice.

"Hmm, not bad."

"It's just a bit too rough."

"Huh?!"

Long Weiguo was stunned.

"To deal with such a tech nerd who can't even truss a chicken."

A meaningful arc curled up at the corners of Lu Chen's mouth.

"Why go through all this trouble?"

"Just let heavenly craft 'accidentally' freeze his Swiss bank account."

"I guarantee that within three days."

"He will be crying and begging to run to our embassy to surrender himself."
