29: Global Dynamics and External Threats

While the Dragon Kingdom's players were making rapid progress in the dungeon,

and were step by step approaching the truth of the t-virus serum,

the storms in the real world were intensifying.

Lighthouse Country.

"Report, Director! The cyberattacks targeting the Dragon Kingdom's financial markets have caused initial chaos! Some stock trading platforms have crashed, and the trading systems of several banks have been affected!"

An intelligence officer reported hurriedly.

A sinister smile finally appeared on the Blonde Director's face.

"Very good! Continue to increase the pressure! I want the people of the Dragon Kingdom to feel what it's like to be overwhelmed in the real world!"

Ouroboros pushed up his glasses, his gaze dark and gloomy.

"Financial attacks alone aren't enough; we also need to create greater public opinion pressure to isolate them internationally."

"I have already arranged for people to spread rumors on international social media about the Dragon Kingdom using cheating methods to manipulate the national destiny arena.

At the same time, we're also publishing academic reports on the potential dangers of the t-virus, trying to trigger global concern over the Dragon Kingdom obtaining the t-virus serum."

The Blonde Director's eyebrows twitched.

"Academic reports on the t-virus? What's the use?"

"Of course it's useful."

Ouroboros sneered,

"We can portray the t-virus as an extremely dangerous biological weapon that would destroy the world if leaked.

This way, even if the Dragon Kingdom obtains the t-virus serum, they will face immense international pressure and might even be required to destroy it."

"Brilliant!"

The Blonde Director exclaimed in admiration,

"This way, even if they clear the dungeon, they won't be able to maximize the benefits of the t-virus serum!"

"This is only the first step."

A cold light flickered in Ouroboros's eyes,

"We need to take further action. I suggest conducting small-scale 'accidental' sabotage on some of the Dragon Kingdom's key overseas facilities.

To keep them busy and unable to focus on the matters inside the dungeon."

"This... wouldn't that be too risky?"

The Blonde Director hesitated slightly.

Such direct sabotage, if discovered, could lead to serious international disputes.

"Risk and reward coexist."

Ouroboros's tone was grim,

"We have no way out now. The Dragon Kingdom's advantage in the dungeon is too great; if they clear it smoothly, our Lighthouse Country will completely lose its global leadership position!"

The Blonde Director fell silent for a moment. Finally, he gritted his teeth and gave the order:

"Approved! Dragon Capture plan, full upgrade! Stop the Dragon Kingdom at all costs!"

One command after another was issued from the Lighthouse Country's command center,

like invisible venomous snakes,

silently slithering into every corner of the Dragon Kingdom.

Dragon Kingdom.

In the Operations Center, the atmosphere was equally tense.

"Report, General Lin, Major General Li! We have detected that the network systems of some important domestic cities have come under unknown attacks recently! Some power facilities and transportation systems have been disrupted!"

The intelligence officer's voice carried a hint of anxiety.

"At the same time, international public opinion attacks against our country have reached an unprecedented height! A large number of claims about our country cheating in the national destiny arena and the t-virus serum being a biological weapon are spreading wildly on international social media!"

General Lin Zhan's face turned ashen.

He knew that those who couldn't stand their massive advantage had begun to exert their strength.

"Those bastards! They're trying to drag us down!"

Major General Li Guodong smashed his fist onto the table in anger.

Su Yuan's heart was also filled with anger.

He knew that his existence

had already become a thorn in the side of certain countries.

They would stop at nothing to prevent the rise of the Dragon Kingdom.

But he also knew that anger solved nothing.

Right now, the most important thing was to stay calm and find a countermeasure.

"General Lin, Major General Li."

Su Yuan said in a deep voice,

"I believe these external attacks exactly prove that we are on the right path. The more frantic they become, the closer we are to success."

"Therefore, we cannot allow ourselves to be disturbed by them!"

In Su Yuan's eyes, a firm light flickered,

"We must speed up our progress, clear the dungeon as quickly as possible, and obtain the t-virus serum!

Only then can we have an absolute say in the real world and make all their conspiracies and tricks have nowhere to hide!"

Lin Zhan and Li Guodong exchanged a look, both seeing agreement in each other's eyes.

"You're right!"

General Lin Zhan nodded heavily,

"We can't let them lead us by the nose! We must speed up our progress!"

"I have already exchanged for a reconnaissance drone and a bottle of All-Member Invisibility Potion, which have been specifically issued to Wang Yi."

Su Yuan said in a deep voice,

"These items will provide a strong guarantee for our upcoming assault on the City Hall."

"Good! Comrade Su Yuan, you have considered everything very thoroughly!"

General Lin Zhan praised,

"Intelligence Team, immediately coordinate with Wang Yi's reconnaissance drone to conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance of the City Hall! Make sure to map out every inch of it! Then, Comrade Su Yuan will fill in the gaps for the Assault Team through the mission system!"

"Yes!"

The Intelligence Team immediately swung into action.

Su Yuan looked at the screen,

where the reconnaissance drone had already taken off from the roof of the Fire Station and was flying silently toward the City Hall.

He knew that although he wasn't participating in the dungeon,

he had to exchange suitable items for the Dragon Kingdom's players at critical moments,

to safeguard them!

He couldn't lose.

For the Dragon Kingdom,

and for everyone who trusted him.
