71: Chapter 71 Assassination Provokes a Rascal's Taint; Lin Yun Decides to Take the Initiative

"Lin Yun, were you crazy just now? That was the Rod of God, and you didn't even try to dodge?"

Qin Zihan rushed into the smoke-filled hospital room, her voice carrying a sob unlike anything before.

Ignoring the shattered glass beneath her feet, she threw herself to Lin Yun's side.

Lin Yun held his sixth child, Lin Xi, in his arms, while his other hand gently patted Princess Anna's back.

The surrounding plasma shield emitted a faint shimmer, isolating all dust and harmful substances.

"Dodge?"

Lin Yun looked up, his eyes showing no trace of fear, only a chilling calm.

"In my dictionary, the word 'dodge' has never existed."

"Since they want to play the game of extermination, I'll teach them what true despair is."

He looked down at little Lin Xi, who was sucking her finger in his arms.

That earth-shattering strike just now seemed like doomsday to outsiders, but to his daughter, it was perhaps just a firework display.

"Elder Chen, Xiao Zhang, come in."

Lin Yun's voice penetrated the shield and echoed in the hall.

A few minutes later, several high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom stepped over the ruins and entered the room that had turned into a "fortress."

Elder Chen's beard was still trembling slightly; he had seen with his own eyes that red light being reflected back to the Pacific Ocean.

"Comrade Lin Yun... you, this shield of yours, has already exceeded human imagination."

Elder Chen's voice was hoarse.

Lin Yun snorted coldly and handed Lin Xi to a nearby special caregiver.

He stood up and walked to the broken window.

Outside the window, the once-prosperous streets were now cordoned off.

In the distant sky, the dark red cloud produced by the kinetic impact had not yet dissipated.

"Imagination has its limits, but my anger does not."

Lin Yun turned his head and looked at Xiao Zhang.

"Did you find out? Besides the launching submarine, who within the country was cooperating with them to provide the coordinates?"

Xiao Zhang straightened his back abruptly and handed over an electronic document.

"We caught several public intellectuals responsible for deploying the positioning beacons; they were hiding in residential houses near the hospital."

"One of them is actually an honorary professor at Capital University."

Lin Yun took the tablet, glanced at the names on it, and a cruel arc formed at the corner of his mouth.

"Professor? A beast like this, who eats the country's food yet smashes its pot, and even invites wolves into the house to kill my whole family, is worthy of being called a professor?"

He squeezed hard, and the tablet screen instantly shattered, with electrical sparks jumping between his fingers.

"I used to think that when technology advanced, those clowns would naturally shut up."

"But I was wrong."

"Some people have soft bones; once they've knelt for too long, they can never stand up again."

Lin Yun looked at Elder Chen, his tone becoming beyond question.

"I request the launch of 'Operation Thunder'."

"No longer just defense; we are going to take the initiative to clear the field."

Elder Chen was stunned for a moment, appearing somewhat hesitant.

"Lin Yun, a large-scale arrest... international public opinion might..."

"Public opinion?"

Lin Yun pointed out the window.

"When they dropped the Rod of God on my child, they lost the right to talk about public opinion."

"Whoever dares to protest, I will cut off their power, their internet, and shut down their satellites."

"On this planet, my word is the highest command."

Qin Zihan looked at Lin Yun before her, feeling an unprecedented sense of strangeness.

In the past, although Lin Yun was strong, he was still considered gentle.

But the current Lin Yun was like a peerless, ominous sword drawn from its sheath.

"Lin Yun, what do you plan to do?"

She asked softly.

Lin Yun walked to the bedside and tidied Princess Anna's messy hair.

"I want to upgrade the 'Sky Eye' system."

"I want every electronic device and every camera on this planet to become my eyes."

"Every venomous snake lurking in the shadows, I will nail them to the cross."

He communicated with the system in his mind.

"System, can the plasma technology brought by the sixth child, Lin Xi, be integrated with the Sky Eye network?"

[Ding! System responding.]

[Plasma High-Dimensional Resonance Technology can improve monitoring precision and achieve subatomic-level identity tracking.]

[The host's currently accumulated technology points are sufficient. Do you wish to upgrade the 'Sky Eye · God's Perspective' module?]

"Upgrade!"

Lin Yun barked in his mind.

Instantly, a massive flow of information hit his senses.

His vision seemed to break free from the shackles of his physical body and soared into the sky.

He saw a top-down view of the entire Capital.

Every street, every corner, even the rats in the tunnels had nowhere to hide.

In these complex images, hundreds of targets flashing with red light were marked by the system.

Those were hostile dangerous elements and spies hidden in the depths of the network.

"Xiao Zhang, bring the laptop."

Lin Yun walked to the table, his fingers moving rapidly across it.

Sets of complex coordinates and identity information were sent to the Dragon Group's combat terminal.

"According to this list, within half an hour, I want to see them in the interrogation room."

Lin Yun's voice was devoid of emotion.

Xiao Zhang looked at the dense list of names on the screen and gasped.

"This... some of these are prominent figures, even founders of multi-billion dollar enterprises."

"Prominent figures?"

Lin Yun sneered.

"In the face of the Rod of God, what difference is there between them and the ants on the ground?"

"Those who resist arrest, kill them."

"Those who oppose, implicate their entire families."

Lin Yun's words caused the temperature in the room to drop to the freezing point.

Elder Chen looked at this young leader and sighed deeply; he knew that this land was about to undergo a major surgery.

"Alright, Comrade Lin Yun, I, the old man, support you."

"The country is your backer."

Lin Yun nodded and looked toward the distant sea once more.

"It's not over yet."

"That nuclear submarine was just the beginning."

"I want those hiding in The White House bunker to also feel the taste of being locked on at the speed of light."

He turned to look at Princess Anna and the newborn Lin Xi.

For them, he didn't mind becoming the judge of this world.

"Lin Yun, this approach of yours will shatter all order."

An untimely voice came from outside the door; it was an old-school diplomat in a suit.

Looking at the ruins everywhere, he pointed and accused with a face full of distress.

"We must talk about civilization and the rule of law. If you arrest people on such a large scale, the West will say we are..."

Lin Yun glanced at him sideways.

"Say we are what?"

The diplomat said righteously, "Say we are a dictatorship, that we are barbarians!"

Lin Yun walked up to him, his powerful aura forcing the old official back several steps.

"When the bomb fell on my daughter's head, where was your rule of law?"

"When oil prices rose and ordinary people couldn't afford gas, where was your civilization?"

"Since you love Western civilization so much, then go and join them."

Lin Yun turned to look at Xiao Zhang.

"Who is this old man?"

"A division chief from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"Dismiss him and investigate his family's overseas accounts."

Lin Yun's tone was as casual as throwing away a tissue.

"Lin Yun! You have no right..."

Before the old official could finish, he was dragged out by two cold-eyed special forces soldiers.

Lin Yun rubbed his wrist.

"Elder Chen, I'll leave the rest to you."

"I'm going to see someone who truly understands the law."

"Some things need to be handled through legal means to send them on their way."

He pushed open the door, his shadow stretched long by the sunlight.

Since they wanted to play, he would play them to death.

None of those so-called public intellectual spies should even think about escaping.

"Comrade Lin Yun, who is this person you mentioned who understands the law?"

Xiao Zhang followed behind, asking out of breath.

Lin Yun stopped and looked at a top-secret resume that had just been sent to his phone.

"Lu Wanxing."

"The Cold-Faced Yama of the Dragon Kingdom's legal world."

"And also the seventh collaborator I've chosen."

The sound of thunder rumbled faintly in the distance; a new storm was taking shape.
