305: Chapter 304 Recommends Nuclear Strike

With a helicopter as a means of transport, their speed was much faster than before, especially since it significantly reduced stamina consumption.

To avoid becoming a target, Chu Xuan controlled the helicopter to maintain a low altitude, flying almost flush with the ground at a maximum height of no more than ten meters.

Relying on his peak piloting skills, the helicopter was like a bird darting through a forest, easily avoiding narrow alleys, roadside lamp posts, and trees.

After two minutes, the fifty Slashes within Chu Xuan's body had reconsolidated, and his spirituality value remained at 2100 points.

Ahead, a thousand-acre garden estate was already in sight.

This place was a key protected site, and high-rise construction was prohibited within a one-kilometer radius, making it a relatively open area.

"I left the hospital and headed straight here at about 9:19. Only six minutes have passed. Normally, the security here wouldn't necessarily have reacted to my true purpose yet.

However, Lin Jie warned me two minutes ago that they were already prepared. The military forces here, including the Night Watchers, have likely been utilized by Revelation to label me as an out-of-control terrorist. This helicopter has probably been locked onto, and they're just waiting for me to walk into the trap..."

Thoughts flashed through Chu Xuan's mind. If it were just an assassination, with his current strength, no matter how important the figure was, they would be nothing more than a dog by the roadside.

But now, every second counted. Forcing his way through was the only path.

Just as the helicopter flew out from a small alley, the night expanded around Chu Xuan, covering a fifty-meter radius. Simultaneously, his spirituality value was consumed heavily, reaching a rate of 20 points per second.

From a distance, a massive cloud of black mist could be seen encroaching at an incredible speed, covering a distance of a thousand meters in just a few seconds.

Almost simultaneously, the sound of "boom, boom, boom" rang out as dense streaks of light shot forth. Accompanied by a roar, the night dissipated amidst the artillery fire, leaving only a pile of broken aircraft wreckage in its place.

"Success!"

Inside an underground central control room within the thousand-acre garden, five healthy-looking elders with imposing auras were all staring intently at the dense high-definition satellite surveillance screens above.

Beside each of these men stood a young guard. They appeared no different from ordinary guards, except for a single point of golden starlight at the center of their brows.

At a glance, they seemed quite extraordinary.

Dozens of command staff were also standing in this control room, their gazes currently concentrated on one of the monitoring screens.

"No, there are no life signs there!" A middle-aged man wearing the standard Night Watchers uniform said, his eyes sharp and glowing with an unusual light.

"Look, another cloud of black mist is rising here!" Someone pointed to another monitor where another mass of black mist had appeared, but it vanished from the screen in a mere flash.

"Such speed!" Someone adjusted the central main screen, and the image expanded instantly to show a cloud of black mist moving at high speed.

"Shoot it down, quickly!"

"It's too late! The black mist has broken through the blockade and entered the building complex. It's rapidly approaching here; we can't lock on!"

Someone's face turned pale as they stared fixedly at the surveillance footage.

"Wait... how did the black mist disappear?"

"Where are the security Night Watchers?"

"Over here, they've already been killed!"

Someone suddenly pointed to one of the small screens. Guards were slumped all over the ground. Several had been killed; there were no corpses, only piles of clothes on the floor.

Further away, an entire Night Watchers squad was dead. Similarly, there were no bodies, only tattered clothes remaining.

"What exactly does this Chu Xuan want to do? Has he lost control, or are the Night Watchers revolting?"

"I said long ago that we couldn't give too much power to the Night Watchers. Now we're suffering the backlash!" An elder with a white beard, white hair, and a tear mole under his left eye said in a heavy voice.

"No, Chu Xuan's killing methods are extremely bizarre. He might no longer be human..."

"Look here..."

Someone else pointed to a screen in the corner. In the footage, Chu Xuan was carrying Lin Jie with one hand while the other held a long blade wreathed in Black Flame, which was currently piercing through the chest of a Night Watcher.

The Night Watcher was in the middle of transforming into a Specter form. In the next second, flames suddenly surged, burning them to nothing. Chu Xuan didn't slow down; his figure flickered and vanished from the camera's view.

On the bird's-eye view of the main screen, one could vaguely see a black line shuttling through the garden buildings like a bolt of lightning.

While everyone was in shock, someone suddenly shouted, "His target is actually this place!"

"Fortunately, we were prepared."

"Immediately cut off all entry and exit points. This underground command room is ninety meters deep; even a nuclear blast wouldn't affect it."

At that moment, the middle-aged Night Watcher suddenly lowered his head, moved his gaze away from the main screen, looked at the elders, and said in a deep voice:

"Leaders, this Chu Xuan has already lost control. There is an S-rank Specter inside him. Even if I go out, I won't be able to stop him. We must use weapons of mass destruction to ensure a kill! I suggest we launch a nuclear strike immediately..."

Before he could finish, the white-haired elder with the tear mole interrupted him, shouting sternly, "Jiao Hui, do you know what you're saying? This is the Capital. Do you know the consequences?"

"Elder Guo, it's precisely because this is the Capital that we must make a decision early!"

Jiao Hui took a deep breath and said, "Necessary sacrifices are unavoidable, especially when dealing with an S-rank Specter. It's worth it no matter the price! Have you forgotten those bloody lessons? Once he's allowed to develop, it won't just be a matter of people dying; he will turn the Capital into a Forbidden Land, and the entire country will perish because of it!"

"No, absolutely not!" Elder Guo shouted. "Unless it's a last resort, we absolutely cannot use nuclear weapons... Using Transcendents against Transcendents is our key strategic policy!"

"But Captain General Yang Yu isn't here, and the other higher-level forces at headquarters ran into problems dealing with an S-rank Specter a few days ago. They won't make it in time! Unless..."

Jiao Hui paused, then suddenly looked at the guards with the starlight on their brows. "Unless these gentlemen take action to intercept and kill Chu Xuan. Then there might be a chance."

"This..." Elder Guo was stunned, then turned back to the guard beside him, about to speak.

"This is your internal matter; it has nothing to do with us."

The young guard spoke with a cold, indifferent expression. "We remain here only to protect the safety of you few and to ensure you are not affected by Specters. For anything else, unless Yang Yu speaks personally or a message comes from our Hometown, we will not interfere in any matter."

"Moreover, if this person truly is an S-rank Specter, under the suppression of a Domain, even if we went out, we might not be able to stop him." The young guard said with a frown.

As if he had already expected this, Jiao Hui immediately said, "In that case, Elder Guo, look..."

Elder Guo didn't answer immediately but scanned the other four.

"Indecision leads to disaster!"

Before the other four could speak, Jiao Hui added, "This garden estate is sparsely populated to begin with; most of it consists of lakes and waterways.

If a 7.5-megaton nuclear bomb drops, the direct kill radius is roughly within five kilometers. As for the subsequent radiation, the Transcendents among the Night Watchers can handle it specifically. The actual casualties won't be that large; they can be controlled within 100,000 people!"
