139: Chapter 139 A Fight to the Death
Some of the people here hoped to return to their roots!
There were also some who had been thoroughly brainwashed and attempted to attack Gao Yuan's Black Fish Legion. Gao Yuan showed no mercy to these stubborn elements, opting for direct physical elimination.
Gao Yuan headed straight for the Taiwan Government Center Building.
None of those brainwashed fools could be allowed to escape! Many of Caicaizi's subordinates had already fled.
But Caicaizi hadn't left yet. She was panicking, unsure of where she could even run to.
Moreover, she had just witnessed a plane taking off, only to be grabbed by a flying mecha and forcibly pulled back down to the ground.
Gao Yuan had physically dragged down a passenger plane that was trying to flee through the air.
He poked through the cabin door with a single finger, letting the robots take control of everyone inside.
At a time like this, no one trying to escape was innocent.
However, Gao Yuan still had too few robots.
The places they hadn't reached in time had already turned into a living hell.
Some were looting amidst the chaos, some were seeking revenge, and others were setting fires to silence witnesses...
In Yuanbei City, a fire in the north had already begun to spread...
Gao Yuan was dumbfounded...
The robots didn't have professional firefighting equipment, and there was no firefighting gear on the warship; the Future World had never considered using a warship for firefighting.
Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment before immediately leading the robots to the front of the fire. He had to clear a firebreak, otherwise, all of Yuanbei would burn down.
Gao Yuan ordered the warship to take control of all of Yuanbei City and broadcasted a message: everyone was to stay in their homes, or they would be identified as insurgents!
The robots quickly gathered in northern Yuanbei City. Gao Yuan had already begun clearing the buildings in the path of the fire, creating a firebreak before the flames arrived...
Just as Gao Yuan's mecha was clearing building debris with such intensity that sparks were flying...
Several planes flew over, their red flags strikingly prominent.
These planes flew over the flames and began spraying dry ice...
Two hours later, the fire was extinguished.
After circling once, the planes began their return journey!
Gao Yuan opened the mecha's communication channel and linked it to his wrist machine.
He saw several missed calls. The mecha could block all signals, so he hadn't heard anything just now.
Gao Yuan selected a number and called back.
After a few rings...
Gao Yuan saw a familiar face.
“Officer Zhou!”
“Gao Yuan, hello. This is Zhou Zhengli!”
“I see!”
“The fleet is on its way. What other assistance do you need?”
Zhou Zhengli asked.
“I need some soldiers to maintain order!”
Gao Yuan said.
There were still too few robots.
With a few stationed at each location, their numbers were heavily diluted! And there were so many cities, each filled with scum taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
“Alright, I will urge them to land as quickly as possible!”
Gao Yuan gave an affirmative grunt.
He had originally come to vent and train his troops, but this time was very frustrating. These robots were meant for combat, yet now they were being used to fight fires. He had come to capture people, but just now he had been focused solely on the fire.
Now that officials from Cathay had arrived, Gao Yuan headed straight for the Government Center Building. Caicaizi had to be caught!
“Let's go, quickly!”
“Go where?”
“To Neon, by boat! With so many fishing boats, they can't possibly check every single one!”
Caicaizi was now filled with dread: “Where can we go? To Sakura Island? It's so close, and there are many people from Cathay in Neon. We'll be recognized even if we go there!”
“That's a worry for later. Let's leave first. If we don't go now, it really will be too late! The car is waiting downstairs. We'll board the ship at Keelung Port!”
Caicaizi sighed and looked at her office. Her intuition had been right—there would be no 'later'!
“I'm not going!”
Caicaizi pulled out an exquisite little pistol and aimed it at her own head!
She closed her eyes...
“I can't leave! I can't...”
Her finger exerted pressure, but she couldn't pull the trigger! The next moment, the gun was snatched away. Two people seized her arms from both sides and marched her out.
“Who are you?”
“I am the commander-in-chief here. I want to see... your commander!”
“This is inhumane! My arms hurt!”
But no one paid her any attention!
The ones taking her out were, naturally, the robots under Gao Yuan's command.
Gao Yuan sat in his mecha, watching Caicaizi being loaded into a flying vehicle by the robots. Many of her acquaintances were inside! These people would all be taken to Cathay for a public trial.
Taking a city while trying to minimize civilian casualties was harder than Gao Yuan had imagined.
Mainly, the chaos was difficult to control.
Some extremists would even launch suicide attacks.
In this world, even the trashiest regimes had martyrs. This left Gao Yuan utterly perplexed, but then he remembered that there are people who can kill their own children or eat filth, so it wasn't that strange. When the forest is large, you'll find all kinds of birds!
Gao Yuan never showed mercy to those seeking death...
A few hours later...
A large number of Cathay Marine Corps members landed, and mechanized units moved into Yuanbei.
After handing over control, Gao Yuan began to withdraw his troops!
His goal had been achieved; what happened next had nothing to do with him!
It was better left to the professionals.
All the robots returned to the warship. As the warship began to ascend, Gao Yuan saw a large number of soldiers below saluting the vessel!
Gao Yuan's eyes grew a bit moist.
The climate in Taiwan was indeed humid. As his altitude increased, Gao Yuan could see further and further. Suddenly, he discovered that a naval battle was actually taking place in the nearby waters.
Gao Yuan was stunned...
At a time like this, who would still dare to make a move?
He immediately steered the space warship toward the site of the naval battle...
As he got closer, Gao Yuan could see clearly: it was Cathay's North Sea Fleet intercepting Neon's Maritime Self-Defense Force!
Gao Yuan laughed out of sheer anger.
He had been looking for an excuse to wipe out Neon for a long time, but doing it so directly wasn't great. After all, he was a civilized person. During the last distributors' conference, when the people from Neon came, Gao Yuan hadn't made things difficult for them. Business was business, after all...
But now, the people from Neon had actually made a move against Cathay.
And it was right near Cathay's territorial waters...
This was looking for trouble, plain and simple.
If he destroyed them now, it should be justifiable.
Furthermore, although Gao Yuan's previous destruction of the American aircraft carrier had scared many, the deterrent effect was clearly still insufficient. After all, not many people had died...
Gao Yuan felt he now had to reinforce the memory that he was not to be trifled with.
Before Gao Yuan's warship even arrived, dozens of sea-based missiles flew toward it. Their angles were tricky, they could automatically change trajectory, and there were many of them...
However, those missiles couldn't even get close to Gao Yuan's warship. The laser defense system activated, and missiles continuously exploded in the air.
“Neon Maritime Self-Defense Force, for your unauthorized attack on my Black Fish Technology Company, I declare that as of today, Neon is considered an enemy state by Black Fish Technology. This is an unending feud!”
The message was sent out, and netizens all over the world saw it!
