147: Chapter 147 Shangguan Yue

As the Head of the War Department and her group continued their journey,

At the edge of the wasteland near the border of Huaxia, there was a dense forest with a straight dirt road cutting through it.

At that moment,

Several off-road vehicles were stopped in the middle of the road at a certain point.

In front of the vehicles, several large trees lay across the road, one of which was even crushing one of the off-roaders.

The bodies of the vehicles were riddled with bullet holes.

About twenty War Department personnel surrounded the vehicles, their bodies covered in blood; some appeared to be severely injured.

The leader was a Five-Star General.

His entire body was tense, and his eagle-like eyes scanned the surroundings rapidly, not daring to relax for a second.

His name was Long Yi!

He was the strongest in the entire team and the captain responsible for this combat suit escort mission.

The entire team consisted of twenty people.

Among them were ten Five-Star Generals and ten Four-Star Warriors!

A force like this...

Should have been virtually safe within Huaxia. Even entering the border regions, they shouldn't have encountered any problems as long as they avoided active combat zones.

But this time,

An accident had occurred!

The opponents they encountered were incredibly powerful. They had been trapped here for two full days, unable to escape.

Long Yi frowned and said coldly, "Everyone, hold on a bit longer. Our mission is to deliver these combat suits to the Head of the War Department."

"According to the schedule, we are already two days late. The Head of the War Department must have guessed that something happened to us and might already be on her way!"

"Furthermore, Headquarters also gathered a group of team members yesterday to head toward the border."

"If we can just hold out for another half a day, we'll be saved!"

"Captain Long, don't worry. Even if I die, I won't let these combat suits fall into enemy hands!"

"Damn it, those bastards actually want to intercept our combat suits. I'll never allow it, even if it kills me!"

"..."

While everyone was cursing,

Long Yi was also rapidly thinking of a way to escape.

These two hundred combat suits were packed into several off-road vehicles. Now that the vehicles were broken and couldn't be driven, they couldn't exactly carry the suits and run.

The effectiveness of the combat suits was obvious!

The twenty of them were wearing the products from this batch.

The enemies intercepting them had firearms, but when bullets hit the suits, nothing happened—unless it was a headshot.

These combat suits had indeed helped them reduce a significant amount of damage!

However, the disparity in strength between the two sides was simply too great.

Even with the help of the combat suits, they couldn't break free.

At that moment,

Long Yi's pupils suddenly constricted.

He saw one person appear from each of the four cardinal directions—North, South, East, and West—simultaneously.

These four people were extremely fast, rushing directly toward them.

"On guard! On guard!"

Long Yi shouted a warning.

He quickly drew the dagger from his waist and moved to meet the person directly in front of him.

In this kind of high-speed movement, firearms were no longer effective; they had to rely on close-quarters combat experience.

*Thud!*

The two exchanged a blow.

Long Yi only felt a massive force surge toward him, and the webbing between his thumb and index finger was instantly split open.

The opponent's strength was immense!

He even felt that the person in front of him was much stronger than he was.

He understood.

If the fight continued like this, he probably wouldn't last long.

*Thud!*

Another punch was thrown.

Long Yi's entire body was knocked back a dozen steps, and a trace of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth. If the two team members behind him hadn't caught him, he would have likely collapsed.

So strong!

He gritted his teeth fiercely.

He shouted to the team members behind him, "Find a chance to break through! Never mind the combat suits!"

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

Everyone was shocked.

Long Yi said quickly, "Lives are more important. If we lose the combat suits, we'll have a chance to get them back. After all, we're still within Huaxia's borders. With the Head of the War Department here, they won't escape!"

"You only have one life. Focus on survival!"

"Break through!"

"Break through!"

The group didn't hesitate, desperately fighting their way in all directions.

"Heh heh, a bunch of trash. Did you really think you could escape?!"

A Big-Bearded Man threw a backhand punch into the body of a Four-Star Warrior.

Even though the opponent was wearing an invulnerable combat suit, the Big-Bearded Man's strength was too great. Even if the suit remained intact, the internal organs were shattered by the shock.

That team member died instantly!

"Xiao Wu!"

Long Yi's eyes turned red with rage.

Fury boiled in his heart!

This team member had been with him day and night for over a decade, and he had died just like that.

He turned his head to look.

The other team members were also seriously injured.

In less than five minutes, they had already lost more than half of their combat strength.

These four opponents...

Were definitely existences far beyond Five-Star Generals!

At this time,

The four people slowly closed in, actually forcing the dozen or so of them into a tight group.

Four people were surrounding over a dozen!

"Boring. I thought Huaxia had many experts, but I didn't expect them to be so fragile!"

The Big-Bearded Man laughed loudly.

He glanced at his companions and said, "Let's not waste any more time. Finish these people off and take the stuff..."

Before he could finish his sentence,

He suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

Immediately after!

A cold woman's voice rang out.

"Those who infringe upon Huaxia shall die!"

Before the Big-Bearded Man could react, a spray of blood erupted from his neck.

He died instantly!

Even in death, his face still bore a look of profound horror.

The faces of the other three also changed drastically.

"The Head of the War Department!"

"The Head of the War Department!"

Though they were arrogant, they weren't stupid.

The Head of the War Department was a god-like existence in the military, and her skills were unfathomable.

Just like just now.

They hadn't even seen clearly how she appeared.

It was simply because she was too fast!

So fast that they only reacted after the Big-Bearded Man had been killed!

"Run!"

The three didn't dare stay a moment longer.

They all fled!

"You kill my War Department people and then think you can run?!"

Killing intent surged from Shangguan Yue.

The dagger in her hand flipped and flew instantly, as if it had eyes, shooting toward the back of one of the men in the distance.

*Squelch!*

The sharp dagger pierced straight through his heart.

Simultaneously,

Her body vanished from where she stood.

The next moment,

She slammed a punch into another person.

The terrifying force sent the man flying backward, where he slammed hard into a tree.

He died instantly!

The third person had only run twenty meters when he saw Shangguan Yue appear in front of him.

Another punch was thrown.

Dead!

In the blink of an eye, all four were dead!

And at that moment,

A fleet of off-road vehicles finally arrived.

"Head of the War Department!"

"Head of the War Department!"

Everyone ran over.

When they saw the four corpses, they couldn't help but gape.

As expected of the Head of the War Department.

The battle was over in less than a minute!

"Phone!"

"Here, it's here."

A Five-Star General hurried over with a phone.

Shangguan Yue dialed a number and said quickly, "Minister Zhang, some enemies have infiltrated Huaxia. You are responsible for clearing them out. Also, send people to protect Chen Feng."

"The enemies are after the combat suits; it's possible they already know it's his research project!"

"Understood!"

On the other end of the line, Zhang Tianxiang's expression was also incredibly solemn.
