147: mobilization

Donghai City Psionic Bureau, Command Center.

The air was thick with a tension that felt almost stagnant.

The mission to track the coordinates of the Evil God Cult's headquarters had been assigned the highest priority.

That jade pendant from the Yongsheng Cult Leader, which likely pointed directly to the heart of the Evil God Cult, hung over everyone's heads like a key.

Cracking it a second earlier meant locking onto the target a second earlier, seizing the initiative.

A second later, and they might miss the window of opportunity, perhaps even letting those rats hiding in the shadows vanish without a trace once more.

Pressure weighed on everyone's hearts like a physical substance.

The technical department's assault had lasted for several hours, utilizing the highest-level computing power and decryption algorithms delegated by the General Bureau, yet progress remained slow.

The Evil God Cult's encryption methods were eerie and ancient, as if wrapped in countless layers of mist.

Every time they seemed to approach the core, they were forcibly distorted and shielded by an even stronger interference force.

Just as this suffocating silence and anxiety were about to reach a breaking point—

“Coordinates! The coordinates are out!” A scream rang out, shattering the silence of the scene.

In the center of the main screen, a set of incredibly precise latitude and longitude coordinates was clearly marked in the Northwest region of the Dragon Kingdom!

Following that, simulation maps of the surrounding environment based on those coordinates, geological structure analyses, historical site markings, and other information refreshed and appeared as rapidly as a waterfall!

The entire command center fell into a moment of deathly silence.

Then—

“BOOM!!!”

Deafening cheers erupted like a long-dormant volcano, instantly sweeping through the entire hall!

“Success! We succeeded!”

“My god! So fast?! This is practically a miracle!”

“Coordinates locked! It's the ‘Black Wind Ancient Ruins’ area in the Northwest!”

“Great! We finally found these rats who hide their heads but show their tails!”

Wild joy, excitement, and disbelief were interwoven on everyone's faces.

Technical staff hugged and high-fived each other, some even moved to tears of excitement.

How many years had it been? The Spiritual Energy General Bureau had invested massive resources and sacrificed countless excellent Special Agents and investigators, yet they could never reach the core nest of the Evil God Cult!

Now, this mystery that had plagued the Dragon Kingdom's spiritual energy circle for decades had actually been cracked by their Donghai Branch in just one day!

How could this not make them ecstatic!

Director Qin Shan stood before the command console, an unprecedented sharp light erupting from his eyes!

“Good! Good! Good!” He said the word 'good' three times, his voice resonant and filled with irrepressible excitement and heroic pride.

He suddenly turned to look at the Intelligence Group Leader, Lin Zhengyang, who was also in a state of immense shock.

His voice was somewhat raspy from excitement, yet it carried an unquestionable decisiveness:

“Zhengyang! Immediately! Report the coordinates and all analysis results to the Capital General Bureau with the highest encryption level!”

“Yes! Director!” Lin Zhengyang snapped to attention and immediately executed the order at top speed.

The news traveled through the Spiritual Energy Bureau's internal highest-level communication link, instantly crossing thousands of miles to reach the command center of the Spiritual Energy General Bureau in the Capital... Capital, Spiritual Energy General Bureau, Strategic Command Center.

Compared to the boiling excitement in Donghai City, the atmosphere here was more solemn and majestic.

Commander General Li Zhenguo was standing before the global command console, listening to reports from various sectors.

Suddenly, a Senior Staff Officer walked over quickly, his face carrying a hint of shock that was hard to hide.

“Reporting to the Chief! Emergency military intelligence! The Donghai Branch has sent highest-priority intelligence—they have successfully locked onto the coordinates of the Evil God Cult's headquarters!”

“What?!” Director General Li Zhenguo turned abruptly, sharp light bursting from his tiger-like eyes. “So fast? Are you certain?”

He remembered clearly that only a few hours ago, they had received the report from the Donghai Bureau.

They had requested technical support to decrypt a token that might be related to the Evil God Cult.

According to past experience, a decryption of this level, even using the nation's top forces, would take several days or even weeks at the fastest!

How could a Breakthrough have been achieved in just a few short hours?!

This efficiency was simply unheard of!

“Confirmed, Chief!” The staff officer nodded heavily and handed over the electronic tactical tablet.

“The technical center of the Donghai City Psionic Bureau completed the coordinate decryption. After preliminary assessment, the coordinates are located in an ancient ruin deep within the ‘Black Wind Mountain Range’ in the Northwest of the Dragon Kingdom!”

“Black Wind Mountain Range... ancient ruins...” Director General Li Zhenguo stared fixedly at the topographical map and coordinate point displayed on the tactical tablet, his gaze instantly becoming incredibly sharp.

“These evil dregs who hide their heads and bring chaos to the world have been hiding like rats in a gutter for so many years, causing countless tragedies. Now, we have finally dragged them out!”

His voice carried the fury and killing intent suppressed for many years.

The Evil God Cult was the largest and most evil tumor lurking in the shadows of the Dragon Kingdom.

They believed in distorted evil gods, acted without any bottom line, and viewed human life as mere grass.

Over the years, the Spiritual Energy General Bureau had fought countless overt and covert battles with them, yet could never harm their foundation.

Every operation was like a game of whack-a-mole; press down one head, and another would pop up, sacrificing countless brave Special Agents.

Now, they finally grasped the fatal core!

“Great! This is truly great!” Long Zhenyue slammed the console, letting out a muffled bang.

“Attention everyone! Highest combat readiness directive!” Director General Li Zhenguo's voice was like thunder, resounding through the entire hall.

“Target: Northwest Black Wind Ancient Ruins, Evil God Cult Headquarters!”

“Orders: The General Bureau's direct ‘Dragon Fang’ and ‘Phoenix Wing’ Special Operations Brigades are to assemble immediately. All personnel are to be equipped with highest-specification psionic armaments and complete departure preparations within one hour!”

“Notify all branch bureaus in the Northwest, Central Plains, and Northern regions! Order their highest-level combat forces to immediately close in on the target area! All checkpoints and airspace along the way are granted highest-priority transit rights!”

“Contact the military! Request highest-level coordinated combat support to blockade all areas within three hundred kilometers of the Black Wind Ruins. Enforce air control and ground martial law; not even a single fly is allowed to escape!”

“Logistics Department, Medical Department, Intelligence Analysis Department—all relevant departments, get moving! I want to ensure this operation is flawless!”

“We have waited too long for this day!” Director General Li Zhenguo's gaze swept across the room, every word carrying weight. “We must not let this tumor continue to lurk! We must not give them another chance to rise from the ashes!”

“In this battle, we will assemble the nation's elites. At any cost, we must thoroughly exterminate the Evil God Cult, pull it out by the roots, to console the spirits of all our fallen comrades in heaven!”

“YES!!!”

The entire Capital General Bureau command center was like a war machine instantly burning to its limit, roaring into operation!

Piercing assembly alarms echoed in every corner of the headquarters, and the engines of heavy armored troop carriers roared.

One by one, VTOL psionic fighter jets carrying the strongest warriors whistled into the sky!

Countless orders and information were rapidly transmitted through the psionic network.

The massive war potential of the entire Dragon Kingdom was completely activated at this moment, its sharp edge pointing directly at that ancient ruin in the Northwest that had been silent for a thousand years!

A general offensive that would decide their fate was about to begin!
