49: Firepower to clear the way!

On the plane, Ye Su sat in his chair with his eyes closed, resting.

Great Xia's decisiveness was shocking.

Almost from the moment the global Professional era arrived, they had already prepared a contingency plan.

To this, Ye Su couldn't help but remark;

"As expected, all the smartest people in the country are in the government!"

And this final pilot program in Su Hangzhou was a stroke of genius, showing both courage and decisiveness.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to win.

Would he win?

It was a sure thing!

After straightening out this logic, Ye Su began to organize his own state.

The Tai Shou Scripture was already in his hands.

Placed in a Martial Arts slot, the Tai Shou Scripture began to circulate according to Ye Su's thoughts.

During the process of circulation, it would undergo Fusion with the Tai Xuan Scripture.

It was as if they were originally of the same kind and origin.

It was truly marvelous.

After the two fused, the speed of his Qi and blood circulation accelerated once again.

Previously, one cycle took 15 seconds.

Now, the speed was pushed to nearly 10 seconds.

This was already incredibly inhuman.

Blood circulating through the entire body in ten seconds—the nourishment brought by such high-speed circulation was almost visible to the naked eye.

Of course, it also brought high temperatures to the body's surface and high consumption.

'My own constant temperature has changed, reaching about 38 degrees Celsius. Tsk tsk... technically, I'm in a state of fever every single moment!'

Ye Su complained slightly to himself.

As a Professional's body temperature begins to rise, it naturally brings about the death of conventional viruses.

If this situation continued, he would likely become immune to all diseases.

If one's body temperature was pushed to 40 degrees, what virus could survive?

The power of a Professional was reflected in every aspect.

Organs and flesh were nourished by Qi and blood, becoming increasingly adapted to this temperature, but viruses could not.

This simply prevented Professionals from getting sick.

Immunity to all diseases in the truest sense.

And a higher body temperature also represented a higher intensity burst of physical functions.

Everything was operating within a rational framework.

'Cui Hu mentioned the Shennong Forbidden Zone to me back in the Imperial Capital; it seems he was giving me a heads-up.'

'Li Qing said there is a "King" there. So, what exactly is the official definition of a "King"?'

'Is it like that ten-foot-tall grass I saw among the blade mountain grass leaves?'

'Forget it, no use guessing. I'll see it when I get there. The mysteries of this world are gradually unfolding before me.'

Afterward.

Ye Su opened his eyes and looked at Mo Xiaoyu.

He wondered if this little girl would feel any resentment about being dragged around everywhere with him.

"Xiaoyu, are you okay with running around everywhere with me?"

Ye Su said while looking at her.

Mo Xiaoyu shook her head, a smile appearing on her face.

"This is actually quite good. After all, I really don't know what I'd do on my own."

A receptive personality!

Mo Xiaoyu's character was like this; she had little initiative and a habit of dependency.

Following someone with strong execution like Ye Su was actually a good fit.

Otherwise, as a Professional, she really wouldn't know how to plan for herself.

It was fine for now, but later, when Professionals needed to fight for resources themselves, she would be completely lost.

"Don't worry, there are still benefits to this trip to the Shennong Forbidden Zone."

Ye Su said.

"As for what benefits, I can't guarantee, but there will definitely be some."

"By the way, what about your family?"

"After this mission is over, let's bring them to Su Hangzhou."

Mo Xiaoyu didn't think much of it and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The plane was very fast.

In just over an hour, they arrived at the Shennong Forbidden Zone temporary airport.

—"Hehe, you should have just stayed in the Imperial Capital and come with us. Look at you, making an extra trip."

Cui Hu said with a laugh.

Ye Su was also speechless.

Cui Hu might have known about that Gambling Agreement in advance.

Yet he hadn't revealed a word.

Fortunately, the final result hadn't changed.

Ye Su and Cui Hu reunited once again at the Shennong Forbidden Zone temporary airport.

This time.

They were fully equipped!

At the airport Ye Su came from, Li Qing had prepared some things, such as Spirit Medicine boxes and other supplies.

There were also flare guns, special combat uniforms, and the like.

On Cui Hu's side, the preparations were even more thorough.

Guan Li and the others were in full special operations gear.

A mix of Professionals and Professional soldiers—they looked incredibly capable.

"Stop joking around, let's talk business."

Ye Su said.

"OK, there are two pieces of news for now." Cui Hu also turned serious and said;

"The good news is that there's no unusual movement in the Shennong Forbidden Zone, so our mission difficulty won't be too high."

"The bad news is that quite a few people have come. I expect there will be a life-and-death struggle."

Ye Su frowned.

"What do you mean, 'quite a few people have come'?"

"Oh, the specific reasons are very complicated," Cui Hu said.

"You can look at it as us being the protagonists, and now some people want to play the villains and interfere with our plans. Yeah, it's much clearer that way."

In fact, there were many things that Cui Hu found difficult to say aloud.

Human nature is hard to scrutinize.

The matter of the strengthening potion was top secret; logically, very few people should have known.

But it couldn't be hidden.

Especially after the Gambling Agreement came out, many people began considering their futures.

Who the hell doesn't want to be a King?

The authority over an entire Suzhou and Hangzhou!

Such thoughts gave rise to interest groups.

Ultimately, this led to an impending battle in the Shennong Forbidden Zone.

"Really? Are there people who want to test if my blade is sharp?"

Ye Su spoke with a cold edge. Clearly, someone wanted to snatch his fruits, and that was just seeking death!

"Be careful, the other side will use thermal weapons this time."

Cui Hu said.

"Artillery is out of the question—we have a Heavy Combined Arms Brigade nearby—but large-caliber anti-materiel rifles..."

Ye Su simply nodded.

"Good, I understand!"

No wonder the special clothing on the plane had dedicated ballistic plates.

Good grief, so that's what they were for.

However, even anti-materiel weapons wouldn't work. Su Hangzhou must be his!

Whoever stands in my way dies!

"So, what now?"

Ye Su asked again.

"Wait first," Cui Hu said.

Wait for what?

Naturally, waiting for the meteors!

—"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Is the armored regiment ready?"

"What about the artillery positions?"

"Everyone, move it!"

...

In the combined arms brigade camp behind them, everything was in full swing.

As soon as Ye Su was in place, they were to begin their work.

Authority was used here, naturally, to ask them to clear the way.

How to clear the way?

Simple: blast through!

At the very least.

They could ensure that when Ye Su and Cui Hu entered the mountains, the ground would still be hot!

"All preparations complete!"

"Then let's begin!"

"Final coordinate check. In 30 seconds, full firepower output!"

"Understood!"

Thirty seconds passed in a flash.

Suddenly.

Countless meteors lit up from the other side.

And then.

The earth shook and the mountains swayed!

This was the roar of firepower.

The essence of technological civilization.

Artillery, rockets, tank guns, aerial fire, and so on—a saturation bombardment poured out in a short period.

From the temporary camp where Ye Su and Cui Hu were to the path into the Shennong Forbidden Zone, countless flashes of fire instantly lit up.

Gunsmoke billowed.

Within the thick smoke, the bursts of fire did not stop.

The bombardment continued.

Special plants on the ground were reduced to ashes in an instant.

Even.

The entire ground was overturned, layer by layer.

The originally firm ground was covered in a thick layer of dust.

Stepping on it, the dust was at least as high as a shoe.
