123: Chapter 123 Aiming at Firepower

Commander Shi Haidong boarded the National Revolutionary Army's special train alone, gradually moving away from the battlefield and heading toward the rear.

He was absurdly far from the Beishan Pass battlefield; no matter how terrifying the upcoming annihilation burst might be, it could not touch him in the slightest.

He stood in the shadows of the carriage, separated by layers of mountains and wilderness, gazing quietly at the Beishan Pass where the smoke of battle had yet to clear. His expression was indifferent as he waited for the killing trap to conclude.

Atop a secluded mountain peak outside the Beishan positions, a six-man special operations team—his trump card—lay hidden.

These six were not ordinary soldiers; they were exclusive combat units he had exchanged for using a massive amount of prestige from the System.

They were naturally compatible with all System weapons, requiring neither adjustment nor training. Each of them could precisely understand the operational rules of the exchanged weapons, coordinating with such synergy that they were nearly one entity—no errors, no deviations, no wasted movements.

The six men's tasks were interlinked, one sequence per person, without missing a single step, jointly wielding this ultimate annihilation weapon capable of instantly leveling everything within a thirty-kilometer radius of mountains and rivers.

At this moment, the Beishan trenches were quiet, almost peaceful.

More than four hundred remnant soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army were scattered throughout the trenches. Some lowered their heads to bandage bleeding wounds, others quietly wiped the hot barrels of their rifles, and some leaned against the earthen walls, chatting in low voices, panting as they rested.

After days of bloody fighting, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted.

Yet, everyone felt steady and secure in their hearts.

This was simply because in the center of the trench, an Immortal, Mo Yufei, sat quietly.

During these few days of holding Xinkou to the death, all the violent artillery fire, all the successive charges, and all the desperate assaults had been withstood by this one person with his Physical Body alone.

By his own strength, he had forcibly blocked every assault, guarded this pass, and protected the four hundred-plus remnant soldiers.

In the eyes of all the soldiers, he was the Immortal Mo, the pillar of this position, and the guardian deity of everyone.

As long as he was here, the position would not fall, and no one would die.

Mo Yufei sat with his eyes closed, calming his mind and Qi, silently recovering the stamina lost from days of fierce battle.

His senses far exceeded those of an ordinary person; the mountain breeze, the rustling of grass, and the faint sound of distant footsteps were all heard clearly.

Yet, while he could perceive every subtle movement nearby, he had no way of knowing what was coming.

On a distant, towering mountain peak, an inescapable killing trap targeting the entire Beishan battle zone had already been quietly initiated.

In the hidden high-mountain position, there was dead silence as the killing trap quietly unfolded.

Member One leaned over the console and gently pushed the switch with his fingertip. There was no roar, no vibration, and no sign of any abnormal movement.

The equipment silently awakened, and an invisible scanning wave spread out, slowly sweeping across the entire mountainside, ravines, trenches, and woodland.

It automatically mapped the terrain, calibrated the trajectory, and adapted to environmental parameters, firmly locking every inch of the thirty-kilometer battle zone into the weapon System.

With the large-scale area locked, it was now time to specifically lock onto Mo Yufei.

A high-precision stealth scanning beam penetrated the soil, landing precisely on Mo Yufei, who was resting in the center of the trench.

Member Two immediately took over, specializing in calibrating the angle of attack.

Relying on the absolute vantage point of the high mountain altitude, he controlled the 3D trajectory modeling System, combining the undulations of the Beishan terrain, trench elevation differences, and airspace airflow patterns to fine-tune the weapon's launch angle and impact point.

He repeatedly simulated the trajectory, avoiding mountain obstructions and blind spots in the ravines, ensuring that the subsequent dual strikes—the electromagnetic paralysis strike and the antimatter annihilation strike—could precisely cover the entire thirty-kilometer battle zone without deviation, blind spots, or gaps.

The angle was locked, and the full-area attack path was completely opened.

Member Three was responsible for frontline precision reconnaissance throughout the process.

Multiple sets of infrared, geomagnetic, and low-light scanning equipment operated simultaneously, capturing in real-time all personnel distribution, position layout, and equipment locations within the Beishan trenches.

It precisely marked the National Revolutionary Army's rest areas, enemy garrison positions, and areas where equipment from both sides was concentrated, while simultaneously locking onto the precise coordinates of Mo Yufei in the center of the trench and the fixed positions of the ground humanoid mechs.

All target points and strike areas were updated in real-time and repeatedly verified to prevent any deviation.

Member Four was in charge of full-area perimeter security.

His gaze, combined with the scanning terminal, covered the entire field of vision around the mountain, checking for movement in the wilderness, hidden blind spots, and distant activity.

He prevented passersby from stumbling in, enemy reconnaissance from infiltrating, or sudden weather interference, guarding the external security of the entire combat position to ensure the entire execution process remained hidden, stable, and uninterrupted.

The four completed the preliminary procedures one after another, with no wasted movements and none of the stiffness of a mechanical assembly line.

The remaining two men on the mountain top stood by, controlling weapon energy charging, the final launch, and post-battle data recovery.

The entire hunting process was now fully prepared.

The whispers of soldiers chatting, the soft sounds of rifle friction, and the movement of the breeze across the trenches wove together into a peaceful post-battle scene.

Member Five first completed the final energy charging verification for the directional electromagnetic paralysis missile. The weapon's energy level was maxed out, ready to cover the entire area with a single precise shot, destroying only electronic chips and circuit equipment.

Confirming the electromagnetic missile was fully ready, the team gave silent confirmation that the first phase of the strike could be launched.

Once the command was issued, all electronic equipment across the entire battlefield would be instantly disabled, enemy intelligent robots would be paralyzed, and all of Mo Yufei's reconnaissance, early warning, and mechanical assistance would be severed.

At the same time the electromagnetic weapon was launched, Member Five began initiating the charging for the final antimatter annihilation missile.

This annihilation missile looked unremarkable—no gunpowder, no fuses, and no conventional explosive structures.

It was a purely unconventional weapon.

Its logic of lethality was never about explosion, incineration, or shattering, but rather complete erasure.

Everything within its range—earth, stone, vegetation, trenches, human bodies, and machinery—would be directly reduced to zero from the plane of existence, leaving not a trace behind.

Energy fluctuations of this level were extremely sensitive. Once they became chaotic and leaked, being captured by the laws of the plane, the weapon would be rendered completely useless.

Therefore, Member Five's charging process was extremely slow and evenly layered throughout. The energy climbed from 0% to 100% bit by bit, completely silent, with no fluctuations, no leaks, and no signs of abnormality.

The immense destructive energy was locked tightly inside the missile body; the outside world could not perceive even a fraction of it.

Once fully charged, the antimatter annihilation missile entered a silent standby state.

Finally, Member Six forwarded the attack plan to Commander Shi Haidong, who was on the train.

Mo Yufei continued to sit with his eyes closed, recovering. He could hear the wind, distinguish artillery fire, and perceive human voices, but he was the only one who could not detect this rule-based hunt targeting "planar anomalies."

In the special train carriage a thousand miles away, Commander Shi Haidong stared at the screen full of green, stable data, his expression impassive.

He knew clearly in his heart.

The electromagnetic strike would paralyze the mechs, cut off communications, blind their vision, strip away all support, and the annihilation would reduce everything to zero, erasing the entire thirty-kilometer battle zone.

More than four hundred remnant soldiers—no, the entire battlefield, and Mo Yufei with his invincible Physical Body—would all die within this hunting zone.
