69: With 3,000 elite troops stationed there, not even a fly could get in!

When Lu Chen's declaration—full of 'schadenfreude' and describing a 'cat-and-mouse game'—clearly echoed in the futuristic control room,

a hint of human-like helplessness flashed across heavenly craft's intelligent eyes.

She knew that her young, cunning master,

was about to start his malicious ‘fishing expedition’ law enforcement again... The next day.

Dragon Shield Bureau’s Number One Highest-Level Combat Conference Room.

The atmosphere was so oppressive you could wring water from it.

Long Weiguo, Ye Qingcang, and all the top brass from Huaxia’s Security Department, Intelligence Department, and Special Operations Department were gathered here!

Every face was etched with unprecedented solemnity and towering fury!

On the massive holographic screen in front of them, a high-definition video, personally edited by heavenly craft and subtitled in both Chinese and English, was looping.

The content of the video was simple.

It was CIA Director William Burns' hysterical roar, full of madness and murderous intent, recorded in the ruins of the Liberty Eagle laboratory!

As well as the complete recording of him giving the insane 'assassination' order to Jack Anderson!

"Bang!!!"

A dull, massive thud!

Ye Qingcang, the Old General known for his fiery temper, could hold back no longer!

He slammed his hand onto the table, and the sturdy conference table, forged from special alloy, was actually left with a clear palm print!

"This is too much!"

"They are simply going too far!"

A terrifying rage, enough to boil the entire Pacific Ocean, burned in his turbid old eyes!

"These sons of bitches from the Western Alliance!"

"They can't beat us in technology!"

"So they resort to these despicable, underhanded tactics?!"

"Do they really think Huaxia is still the Sick Man of East Asia from a hundred years ago?!"

"Transmit my command!"

He pointed at the head of the Special Operations Department behind him and roared:

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

"Get our most elite Dragon Flame Special Warfare Brigade out here now!"

"I will personally lead the team!"

"We're going to the Western Alliance to twist off that bastard Burns' head and kick it around like a ball!"

His words were full of killing intent!

They were filled with the unique madness and ferocity of a battle-hardened soldier!

No one present doubted it!

If reason hadn't prevailed,

this protective Old General really would have carried out this insane action, which was enough to trigger a Third World War!

"Old Ye! Calm down!"

Long Weiguo was relatively more composed.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the equally overwhelming anger in his heart.

He looked at all the bigwigs present and said, word by word, with authority:

"Now is not the time for impulse!"

"Although the enemy's conspiracy was detected by us in advance,"

"it has also sounded the loudest possible alarm for us!"

"That is..."

He turned around and looked at the huge electronic map behind him.

He stretched out his finger and heavily tapped the location of the Kunlun Mountains!

"Our protection of Comrade Lu Chen!"

"Is still far from enough!"

"The enemy was even willing to use a deep mole like Zhong Kui, who had been lurking for twenty years!"

"This shows that they have completely gone mad!"

"A crazy enemy is capable of anything!"

"Therefore!"

His voice became incredibly cold and resolute!

"Starting today!"

"I propose!"

"That all areas within a hundred-kilometer radius of the Kunlun Mountains be designated as the highest-level military restricted zone!"

"A three-thousand-man joint defense zone, composed of Dragon Flame, Snow Maple, and Heavenly Wolf, the three most elite special forces units of Huaxia!"

"Will be stationed in the Kunlun Mountains!"

"They will conduct twenty-four-hour, uninterrupted comprehensive land, sea, and air patrols!"

"I want to turn these Kunlun Mountains into a true iron barrel!"

"Forget about Western Alliance agents!"

"Not even a fly!"

"Will be able to fly in, damn it!"

His words were decisive!

They were filled with a terrifying resolve to spare no expense!

All the bigwigs present were completely stunned by this security plan, which could only be described as 'madness'!

Three thousand top-tier special forces soldiers!

Just to protect one person?!

This was no longer protecting a 'national treasure'!

This was practically protecting an 'Emperor'!

"I agree!"

Ye Qingcang was the first to raise his hand in approval!

"I agree too!"

"Seconded!"

Soon!

This unprecedented and almost insane security plan was unanimously passed!

...That afternoon.

When three thousand of Huaxia's most elite special forces, heavily armed and radiating killing intent, descended upon the Kunlun Mountains like heavenly soldiers and generals,

the entire mountain range seemed to tremble slightly under their terrifying presence!

Meanwhile, the 'core' being protected,

Lu Chen, was leisurely lying in his luxury suite, drinking tea and reading a book.

It was as if the atmosphere of war outside, which was enough to make any nation tremble, had nothing to do with him.

"Master."

heavenly craft’s ethereal virtual figure slowly materialized beside him.

She looked at Lu Chen's calm face, and a hint of human-like worry flashed in her intelligent eyes.

"You don't seem worried at all?"

"Worried about what?" Lu Chen asked indifferently.

"Worried about the Western Alliance's assassination attempt," heavenly craft stated matter-of-factly. "That is, after all, the CIA's top strength."

"Strength?"

Lu Chen smiled.

It was a god-like smile, full of absolute confidence and absolute control.

He extended his finger and lightly tapped the air.

The next second!

A sci-fi three-dimensional architectural model instantly projected into the air!

It was the super laboratory he had personally designed and which was about to begin construction!

"heavenly craft."

He looked at the curious AI beside him and smiled faintly.

"Do you think..."

"In this 'turtle shell' of mine, which is integrally cast from Dragon Bone alloy, fully covered by the Heaven's Net system, and even comes with a little bit of Anti-Gravity and an Energy Shield..."

"On this earth..."

"Who could possibly hurt me?"
