379: Jacob: We should befriend Liu Yan.
The camera that had fallen to Liu Yan's side was still pointed at him.
The other cameras had also fallen to the ground in a haphazard manner, capturing the entire scene of the recent battle from almost every angle without any blind spots.
Meanwhile, in the live broadcast room, the comments had disappeared.
There was a deathly silence.
A moment later, the comments surged out like a tidal wave!
"Holy crap!!!"
"Who the hell is this guy?!"
"Am I watching an American superhero sci-fi movie right now?"
"That is so damn cool!!!"
"Too cool!!! I want to know this guy's TikTok account!"
"Superman, this is definitely Superman!! Fighting Hafke's army all by himself!"
Meanwhile, in the President's office at the Aerospace Base, Demulan and the executive beside her, who were watching the live broadcast, were completely frozen in shock.
The executive's hand was still frozen in the motion of pouring wine into the goblet on the table.
Neither of them even noticed as the wine spilled over from the glass and dripped all the way down the table onto Demulan's thigh.
They stared at the screen where the battle had already ended, their minds automatically replaying that unbelievable scene.
Buzz—Buzz—
Soon, Demulan's brain-machine interface vibrated, pulling her out of her daze.
With a thought, Demulan stopped the vibration of the brain-machine interface, and Jacob's angry voice immediately came through from the other end.
"Demulan, have you lost your mind?"
"Why would you provoke someone like this?!"
Hearing Jacob's angry voice, Demulan's expression stiffened.
Clearly, Jacob had also seen the live broadcast.
"Mr. Jacob, it's like this..."
Demulan quickly explained the sequence of events to Jacob.
"Sigh..."
Demulan heard a clear sigh from the other side.
That sigh was full of helplessness.
"Demulan, you're overreacting."
"When you told me earlier, I specifically checked the video playback from the Tourist Center."
"You can tell from his skills that this person is extraordinary."
"Moreover, no matter how I access the database, there is no information on this person."
"A person whose information even Hafke cannot retrieve, and who has such extraordinary skills."
"Is he someone you can just provoke?"
"The pressure on Hafke right now is far greater than what you see."
"Whether it's international pressure, the riots by Asara, or the GTI constantly interfering in the middle."
"At a time like this, Hafke cannot afford to do anything that would cause further complications."
"But Mr. Jacob..."
Demulan was about to explain, but was interrupted by Jacob.
"I know your reasoning this time; if it had succeeded, it would indeed have completely restored Hafke's image."
"And in the short term, it would have prevented Asara from openly accusing Hafke."
"But have you thought about whether such a person might have some special organization behind him that we don't know about?"
"If he dies, will we end up with another enemy hiding in the shadows?"
After Jacob finished speaking, Demulan gradually fell silent.
"You saw it just now, his equipment, um... it should be an improved version of the power propulsion device."
"This kind of high-speed propulsion, and equipment that can achieve continuous operation, is something that even with Hafke's current level of technology, is completely impossible to achieve."
"Considering everything, what we should be doing is befriending him, not making an enemy of him!"
Only now did Demulan realize how shortsighted she had been.
"Then now... what should we do?"
Demulan's tone softened, and the executive on the side, showing great tact, had already silently retreated.
In the current situation, trying to befriend Liu Yan can be described as hell-level difficulty.
If it were just the first day, it would be fine; the two sides wouldn't be considered enemies.
It was just Liu Yan unilaterally exposing Hafke's conspiracy.
But now, Hafke's retaliation against Liu Yan was aimed at killing him.
Jacob thought for a long time, then said slowly:
"You don't need to worry about it; I'll handle it."
After saying this, Jacob cut off the connection with Demulan.
On the other side.
Just as Liu Yan was preparing to leave Amiya Town, his ears twitched slightly.
He heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from not far away, as well as the sound of wheels rolling over the ground.
At the same time, on the other side, there was the buzzing of helicopters.
Liu Yan sighed heavily.
"Is it never going to end?"
Just as he was preparing to enter combat mode, Liu Yan saw a familiar face from afar.
It was... Wafa, whom he had met at the Tourist Center that day?
After recalling the other party's name, Liu Yan noticed that his face was full of anxiety.
After glancing at the camera on the ground, a thought that Liu Yan could hardly believe emerged.
These people... after seeing his situation on the live broadcast, they wanted to rush over to save him immediately?
Liu Yan had also wondered if these people believed Hafke's slanders about him.
But if that were the case, Wafa's expression would definitely not be like this.
"So the favor mentioned at the time... was not just empty talk."
After figuring this out, Liu Yan's favorable impression of the Asara faction increased significantly.
Immediately after, Liu Yan turned back and saw several figures descending from the helicopter.
Swoosh——————!!
He saw the power propulsion device at Wang Yuhao's waist suddenly emit gas, and then he sprinted forward with a halo of light.
And Kai Silva, who was beside him, activated his Powered Exoskeleton the moment he landed.
Every step he took, the Powered Exoskeleton emitted a distinct sound of mechanical friction.
Behind them, the figures of Roy, David Ferrer, and others were also rapidly approaching Liu Yan.
Seeing this scene, a warmth couldn't help but well up in Liu Yan's heart.
Abruptly transported to a strange world.
Yet he never expected that in just a few short days, so many people would care about him.
The guard Soldiers led by Sayyid, along with Wang Yuhao and the others, arrived at Liu Yan's side almost at the same time.
Upon seeing the scene around them, everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
Weren't they... here to save someone?
What is going on here?
"You... well, you look like you're fine."
Roy, holding a medical gun, looked Liu Yan up and down before silently putting it away.
The words "Are you okay?" that were about to slip out were swallowed back down.
Sayyid turned his head mechanically to look at the equally astonished Wafa.
Feeling Sayyid's gaze, Wafa also slowly turned his head.
"Sir, I really didn't lie to you! You saw the live broadcast video just now! I don't know why this happened either?"
"I wouldn't lie to you at a time like this; there's no benefit to it."
"And the Brothers have been running for so long; if I were lying, wouldn't they eat me alive?"
Wafa hurriedly kept explaining.
Sayyid shook his head.
He wasn't blaming Wafa.
After all, he had seen the video, and he also saw the corpses lying scattered all over the ground now.
He just couldn't understand how Liu Yan had managed to do it.
On the other side, the Operators also found it hard to accept the explosive amount of information before them for a moment.
Mai Xiaowen had already described Liu Yan's previous situation to everyone.
In other words, Liu Yan had achieved this level of success all by himself...
"Um... on your body..."
Golden Luna slowly raised her hand and pointed to the flames still burning on Liu Yan.
The latter then realized it, patted himself, and extinguished the flames on his body one by one.
The clothes under the flames were already burnt to tatters.
But looking at the skin under Liu Yan's clothes, there wasn't a single trace of burns.
Liu Yan didn't know that this was also one of the wishes he had once made.
To ignore flames.
