469: Operation Thor
The members of the Xu Family looked at each other in dismay. None of them had ever heard of such a thing as a laser gun. Hearing Zhu Nan's words so suddenly left them bewildered, but they did not want to expose their own ignorance. That would make the Xu Family seem inferior to the Nanyue Royal Residence, which was something they could not tolerate. Thus, they all nodded as if they understood, keeping silent about the laser gun.
Zhu Nan continued, "Just a moment ago, Shangguan Zhi not only seized all the data from the main database of the Shadow Moon Hall but also managed to acquire the data scattered throughout the other rooms!"
As his voice fell, the large screen in the center of the light curtain was adjusted back, and the images of the surrounding small rooms all turned green!
Green meant that access was granted. Shangguan Zhi's mission for this trip was complete, and with her repelling that sharp claw, it also declared her total victory in this operation!
"Heavens! This young girl is too amazing!"
"Indeed, it hasn't even been fifteen minutes, has it?"
"Look at the clock on the wall. I remember it was midnight when they set off, and now it's only 12:11 AM!"
"Look quickly at the sides!" someone called out excitedly at this moment.
Everyone looked over quickly and discovered that the two youths on the sides had already removed their helmets and were happily looking at Shangguan Zhi...
"What is going on?"
"Could it be... that the two of them have also successfully returned?"
"It certainly looks that way!"
"It's too incredible!"
Zhu Nan's voice rang out right at this moment: "Everyone is correct! Both Sima Zhen and Nangong Jidi completed this mission within 8 minutes, and they did not alert the other side!"
"Wow!!!" The great hall erupted in an uproar. Even Xu Chuanzhong widened his eyes, his expression one of disbelief!
No one expected that Shangguan Zhi was actually the one with the worst performance among the three, yet she was already so outstanding. It was hard to imagine just how amazing the two youths, Sima Zhen and Nangong Jidi, were...
One was only 11 years old, and the other was 12. If their reputation were to spread, there is no telling how many Families would scramble to snatch them up!
One must know that what they raided this time was the database of the Three Great Heretical Cults. Who knows how many network experts were guarding it, or how many secret locks were sealing the gates, yet they were able to sneak in silently, steal everything, and then retreat unscathed!
Looking at it now, even if they were to sneak into the bank database of the Great Ming and raid it, no one would discover them...
Upon thinking of this, everyone's eyes went straight. These three youths were practically shining treasure vaults. As long as one could snatch them up, it almost meant having endless wealth!
Xu Chuanzhong suddenly felt his throat was a bit dry. He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip to moisten his throat, then said, "Your Highness, I wonder where these three youths are? I would like to meet them and give them some rewards!"
Prince Fu was immersed in joy, but was suddenly startled awake by Xu Chuanzhong's words. After being implanted with the yu wood chip, he was no longer a fool. He quickly understood the meaning behind Xu Chuanzhong's words, so he smiled and said to Zhu Nan, "Steward, where are they? Have them brought over quickly!"
At the same time, he gave Zhu Nan a wink. Zhu Nan understood and replied, "Your Highness may not know, but they are currently in a secret base isolated from the world. Only the Ninth Young Master knows their location, and we can only notify them once the Ninth Young Master arrives! Furthermore..."
"Furthermore what?"
"According to the Ninth Young Master, manpower in the base's network department is extremely tight. They still need to process the data after obtaining it, which requires a significant amount of time. They have no time right now! And there's more..."
"And what else?!"
"After the Lightning Operation, they will have another mission, called the 'Thor Operation'!"
"Oh? What is the Thor Operation?" Prince Fu was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"It means carrying out strikes against the headquarters of the Three Great Heretical Cults!" Zhu Nan said.
"Strikes? Are they going to send troops?" Prince Fu asked in astonishment.
Xu Chuanzhong snorted at this moment: "What a joke! The headquarters of the Three Great Heretical Cults are far away from the territory of the Great Ming. To strike them would be a long and arduous journey, wasting manpower and money. It is currently impossible!"
"That's right, Elder Xu is correct! Let's pause this Thor Operation. Our current main goal is to resist the Sea Race invasion!" Prince Fu also chimed in from the side.
Zhu Nan shook his head and pointed to the large light curtain, saying, "Your Highness, Elder Xu, the Thor Operation is about to begin!"
"What?!" Everyone was stunned and looked towards the large light curtain one after another...
Sure enough, Sima Zhen, Shangguan Zhi, and Nangong Jidi had put their helmets back on. Their hands were constantly tapping in front of them, and invisible commands were being sent out through their fingertips, while the images on the large light curtains in front of them were constantly changing!
"Database, locked!" "Profound Weapon warehouse, locked!" "Ammunition depot, locked!" "Council Hall, locked!" "Elder District First Courtyard, locked!" "Elder District Second Courtyard, locked!" "Outer Sect Disciple District First Courtyard, locked..." "..."
Small screens were locked one by one by rays of red light. Soon, the three large light curtains were covered in dots of red light. The large light curtains on the left and right completed their target locking at an extremely fast speed, and the large light curtain in the center only lagged behind for a short while before completing the mission of locking all targets!
At this moment, Sima Zhen's voice came out: "Report! All strike targets for the Blood Wolf Hall headquarters have been locked!"
Nangong Jidi's voice followed: "Report! All strike targets for the War Bear Hall headquarters have been locked!"
After a while, Shangguan Zhi's voice also came: "Report! All strike targets for the Shadow Moon Hall headquarters have been locked!"
"Thor Operation, begin!!!" Another voice suddenly rang out.
"Yes!" The three shouted in unison and extended their right hands to press into the Void Realm!
Rumble, rumble, rumble... A faint roaring sound came from the light curtain, and even the images on the three light curtains seemed to be affected, shaking slightly...
"This is..." Xu Chuanzhong and Prince Fu looked at each other, both of their faces showing a look of confusion.
Zhu Nan smiled and said, "Your Highness! Elder Xu! Let's just wait. Calculating the time, the Shadow Moon Hall headquarters should be hit by the Thor strike in ten minutes! The Blood Wolf Hall headquarters should be in twenty minutes!! And the War Bear Hall headquarters will be in thirty minutes!!!"
"What?!" Prince Fu and Xu Chuanzhong exclaimed in surprise, not understanding what was going on.
"This is a Sharp Weapon for strikes newly researched by our Nanyue Base scientists, called a 'hypersonic surface-to-surface missile'! After launch, it must fly in the air for a period of time before it can land on the target. Its speed is extremely fast, three times the speed of sound, so it only takes ten to thirty minutes to hit the target!" Zhu Nan explained with a trembling voice. In fact, he was just a messenger for Long Yuan's voice, and he himself still did not understand what this hypersonic surface-to-surface missile was all about...
