302: Chapter 302 Dragon Soaring to the Moon

Seeing the three of them walk in, Dragon King, who was on the hospital bed with a ventilator, struggled to open his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, appearing somewhat agitated.

Comrade Li Jiaying was also slightly surprised and came over to shake their hands.

"Hello, I am Comrade Li Jiaying from Hong Kong."

The leader smiled and nodded at him, "Comrade Li Jiaying, you have rendered a great service, and I must thank you on behalf of the country."

"It is only right."

The leader then came to the hospital bed and looked at Dragon King seriously.

"Mr. Dragon King, although your record is full of misdeeds, I am very gratified that you were able to turn back from the wrong path at the critical moment."

"Let me introduce myself: Leader of the Dragon Group, codename Dragon Head."

"These are my two team members, codenames Kui Mulang and Zhang Yuelu."

Dragon King's face turned beet red, and he cast his gaze toward Comrade Li Jiaying.

Dragon Head smiled and added, "Do not blame him; given the special nature of the incident, Comrade Li Jiaying has also been transferred into the Dragon Group."

"I heard that you dislike us for being unscrupulous and are unwilling to deal with us, so I must correct this stereotype of yours."

"We are the highest line of defense protecting the country, and many of the matters we handle concern the survival of the nation, so naturally, we cannot be constrained by rigid rules and regulations in our methods."

"But we are also human, not demons or monsters."

"When it is time to show humanity, we will show humanity."

"I explicitly state that your final wish will be fulfilled by our Dragon Group. This is a military satellite launch site, and the preparations have been completed."

"However, space is vast; do you have any specific requirements?"

Dragon King let out a long sigh of relief, "Tha... thank you. If possible, I... want to... see the moon."

"I didn't expect you to be such a romantic person; that is possible. Oh, I also have a small gift for you."

Dragon Head said this while taking out his phone, opening a video, and handing it to Dragon King.

In the video, a young girl appeared to be singing at an informal party; she was elegant and poised, her voice gentle and melodious.

Tears quickly flowed from Dragon King's aged eyes; he recognized that it was his daughter, Mai Dong.

Listening to her singing, his consciousness began to fade.

On the electrocardiogram monitor, the waveform jumped significantly a few times before turning into a straight line.

The red light in the room lit up, and the medical System immediately issued a voice prompt.

"Monitored target's heartbeat has stopped, requesting intervention from monitoring personnel! If there is no manual intervention within three minutes, the System will automatically initiate resuscitation procedures!"

Zhang Yuelu was just about to step forward to help but was pulled back by Old Kui.

Sure enough, the next second, Dragon Head spoke.

"No need to resuscitate; saving him would only mean more suffering. This ending, while not perfect for him, is already quite good."

He stepped forward and pressed a button on the instrument, "All personnel attention, we are now issuing Directive Number One."

"Medical team, cancel the emergency alert."

"Launch team, adjust immediately; target is lunar orbit."

"Service team, come to Special Control Armor Room 2 to clean up and prepare for loading into the capsule."

After Dragon Head finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned to leave; Comrade Li Jiaying and the other two followed quickly.

The three arrived in another room and immediately saw an even more shocking scene.

On the large surveillance screen, Tang Long was suspended in an almost completely enclosed black sphere-like space, his whole body flowing with golden light, with electric arcs jumping from time to time.

The monitored temperature was 225 degrees, and the magnetic field was extremely chaotic.

Zhang Yuelu exclaimed first, "Leader, is this temperature emitted by him? Is he still discharging electricity?"

Dragon Head nodded, "Indeed, that is the case."

Kui Mulang also quickly asked in a low voice: "Leader, have you read the report I submitted previously?"

Dragon Head nodded slightly, "I have read it; it is indeed very suspicious. Your considerations are reasonable, and I also think the cases can be merged."

"Then you still want to throw him onto the moon!"

Dragon Head sighed softly, "A person cannot stand without credibility; how can one go back on what was promised to others?"

Comrade Li Jiaying and the other two looked at each other, not understanding what Dragon Head was thinking.

Such an obvious superhuman, whom they went to such great lengths to bring here, just to have him buried with Dragon King?

After a few seconds, Dragon Head suddenly smiled again.

"Promises must be kept. But I never said that I wouldn't bring him back."

"Comrade Li Jiaying knows best; during transport, Tang Long once emitted high-intensity heat and radiation. He and a special forces unit executing the mission at the time all suffered varying degrees of radiation damage."

"Through investigation, we discovered that at the same moment, the sun experienced an intense, large-scale coronal mass ejection. Therefore, I judge that his changes may be related to the sun."

"Furthermore, Late Stage investigations have also shown that the radiation emitted by his body is basically consistent with the sun; both are fusion energy radiation."

"So I want to take this opportunity to let him get closer to the sun and see what changes occur."

"Old Kui, you are an expert in outer space operations, and you are heat-resistant."

"As for Xiaolu, your information technology skills are excellent, you are sufficiently sensitive to electrical energy, and you have a certain degree of control."

"So, you two are the best candidates to execute this mission."

Comrade Li Jiaying looked at Old Kui and Xiaolu in surprise.

"Chief, what about me? I don't have these professional skills you mentioned; am I suitable for such a mission?"

Dragon Head turned to him, "Comrade Li Jiaying, the soldiers who were exposed to radiation with you previously have just completed the detailed examination procedures."

"Some of them have had their strength increased by nearly double, some have had their vision become abnormally powerful, and some have grown more than five centimeters in height within a few hours."

"Do you know what changes you have?"

"Your wound healing speed is 22 times that of a normal person."

"Initially, your heatstroke symptoms were the most severe, with your liver and kidneys almost completely failing. There are still over a dozen soldiers with the same symptoms who are not out of danger, while you have completely recovered and are lively and active."

"That is why you were selected for the Dragon Group."

"You have worked on the front lines of police work for many years, your experience is rich, your ability is unquestionable, and you are both an eyewitness to this matter and the most suitable monitor."

"Comrade Li Jiaying, for so many years, although the Dragon Group has always been the pillar of our Dragon Country, it has also been plagued by a shortage of manpower."

"After all, one cannot find a single special soldier who is both loyal and capable among hundreds of thousands or millions. Every time one is lost, it is difficult to replace them for a very long time."

"Think about it; if we master the laws of radiation, this alone would allow us to continuously create a super-powered legion."

"It is precisely because of this that I immediately planned this operation."

"Your mission is to send Tang Long into space and record all his changes."

"Of course, Tang Long's radiation does not only have positive effects; currently, nearly half of the soldiers are still lying in hospital beds."

"Given that his changes might be very sudden, his containment capsule and Dragon King's coffin capsule will separate together. You are expected to reach lunar orbit in four days and conduct one month of synchronized tracking and monitoring."

"Do you have any questions?"

The three of them listened with surging emotions.

"Very good."

"The operation now officially begins."

"Operation codename: Flood Dragon Races to the Moon."
