Chapter 41 Supersonic Sea Drift
"But some people should just accept their fate..."
The sound of her wish was soft, yet it struck Beiwei's heart like a heavy, cold iron.
She understood that this was not a discussion, but a declaration.
A trial written in blood is about to begin!
She didn't try to stop him, but simply took a deep breath, met his gaze, and spoke clearly, word by word:
"Be careful. Leave this to me, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xu Yuan's lips curled slightly, revealing a smile devoid of warmth.
The next moment, his spiritual body vanished like smoke, as if it had never existed, leaving only devastation to prove the miracle and slaughter that had just occurred.
Bevy composed herself, her expression returning to its usual cold solemnity. She still had so much to do—to suppress the news, to investigate leads, and…
High-rise buildings with electricity.
Abandon illusions, prepare for battle!
……
On the other side, in Fuzhou.
Old Zhang's scrap metal recycling station.
Xu Yuan opened her eyes while on the plane.
His eyes were filled with coldness.
At this moment, Zhao Guoqiang had just finished leading the Dragon Soul team to clean up the mess.
Unlike Wang Yuan and Cheng Yong before, this time the infected Zhang Quanfu ultimately chose to self-decompose.
Therefore, while the Dragon Soul team did collect experimental materials, they did collect a fair amount.
As soon as they boarded the plane, they keenly sensed the oppressive, murderous atmosphere that was almost enough to make one's blood stop flowing.
The origin is naturally making a wish.
"You guys go back first, I have some personal matters to attend to."
Although Xu Yuan's eyes were cold, his tone was unusually calm.
Zhao Guoqiang was unaware of what had happened during the time they were cleaning up the mess, and assumed that Xu Yuan was in a bad mood because of the infected person.
He also knew that if he acted alone, he could make a wish faster than they could.
"Alright, Comrade Xu Yuan, see you in Xingcheng."
Xu Yuan didn't say anything, waved to Zhao Guoqiang, and left only his back view in the admiring gazes of the Dragon Soul team.
"Go home! Star City!"
……
at the same time.
Star City.
Because the most troublesome problem of treating the wounded has been solved with a wave of the hand.
The battlefield that was just left behind has been cleaned up.
Beibeiwei returned to her study and reactivated the top-secret communication channel.
After she finished reporting the details of the attack and Xu Yuan's final verdict, the channel fell into a deathly silence.
Over the past few days, they have developed a very accurate understanding of making a wish.
If you don't cross the other person's bottom line, it's generally easy to make a wish.
But the problem is...
Family is the bottom line for making wishes!
Big trouble!
The intelligence network was operating efficiently, and the attacker's identity was quickly revealed—a CIA agent from the United States.
Where one wishes to go is self-evident.
"Alright, everyone."
A calm and authoritative voice broke the silence; it was the highest-ranking official personally attending the meeting.
"Abandon illusions and prepare for struggle."
"Comrade Xu Yuan has been fighting on the front line of eliminating the infected and doing his best to postpone the end of the world. He is our well-deserved hero."
"The attack on the hero's family is, in any case, our dereliction of duty."
"We must never let heroes shed both sweat and tears."
"On the diplomatic front, we will maintain the toughest stance."
"If necessary, and if Comrade Xu Yuan encounters difficulties, all covert forces can be activated..."
"The national air defense system is on high alert. Any attack targeting our homeland must be intercepted and countered immediately!"
The decision was final, and no one objected.
However, the meeting did not end there; instead, a high-definition satellite live stream was broadcast on the conference channel.
The person in the live stream is Xu Yuan.
At this moment, Xu Yuan is standing quietly on the beach in Fuzhou.
……
Xu Yuan did not return to Xingcheng.
Instead, after parting ways with the Dragon Soul team, they went straight to the beach.
This time, he doesn't intend to hide his whereabouts!
Some countries fear power more than morality; only by demonstrating a power gap that instills fear in them can they completely avoid constant trouble.
Xu Yuan bent his knees slightly, then suddenly pushed off the ground! His body shot out like a cannonball, tearing through the air and becoming a straight afterimage as he shot towards the boundless sea.
As his momentum waned, gravity began to pull him into the deep sea.
However, just as his feet were about to touch the sea surface—
Boom!
A deep, resounding thud, like the beating of war drums!
The seawater beneath his feet was instantly dented and solidified like a mirror by his footsteps!
Using the violent reaction force, his figure shot out once again!
"Boom boom boom—!"
A loud bang exploded on the sea, followed by a series of loud bangs!
Xu Yuan's legs became blurry afterimages, each step leaving a broken dent and splashing white waves on the azure sea.
Alternate feet rapidly.
His speed increased dramatically, and a cone-shaped, milky-white sonic boom cloud quickly formed and enveloped him!
Supersonic!
If you zoom out, you can clearly see a tiny, ant-like figure running wildly across the vast sea, with a white line behind it, as if it wants to split the sea in two.
At this moment, the top-secret channel was deathly silent, and all the attendees were in shock.
They thought their previous wish to cross the Pacific Ocean in their physical body was already outrageous enough.
But unexpectedly...
This time, however, the power that Xu Yuan displayed was even more beyond imagination!
What is this?
Lightness skill?
At most, the only skill in light-body techniques is the Iron Palm technique for walking on water.
But who's ever heard of a supersonic vehicle drifting on the sea?
"..."
After a long silence.
The deathly silence lasted for a long time before it was broken by a voice with a somewhat strange tone:
"I think instead of worrying about making wishes, we should worry about America."
"That's not quite right," someone immediately interjected, their tone "serious," "They're the world's number one power, with a strong and well-equipped military. What could we possibly have to worry about?"
"Exactly, who knows which deity they accidentally offended? We know nothing, we're just watching the show."
"Fortunately, he's on our side..."
The previously tense atmosphere within the channel vanished, replaced by an unspoken sense of "joy."
……
Meanwhile, in the United States, at the CIA headquarters.
Edward paced back and forth in his office, his elegance and composure replaced by a growing unease.
The plan failed. He didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't ignore the fact.
"Make a wish..."
He muttered to himself, his brow furrowed.
I initially thought he was just an insignificant nobody, and that the attack on his family was merely a casual step in a larger plan.
But now it seems he was wrong.
This wish is probably the real key. The mysterious death of former "Pope" Cheng Yong may be far more complex than the records suggest...
Perhaps Xu Yuan, like him, has awakened superpowers?
Edward looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the busy employees and heavily armed agents inside the headquarters building. These people, who used to give him strength and a sense of security, now seemed so vulnerable.
The persistent sense of crisis in his heart, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled around him, almost suffocating him.
This is absolutely a warning from the God of Wisdom to the chosen ones!
Now that we have gained initial control of CIA resources, we can execute our plans anywhere...
In a flash, he made his decision.
Must leave!
He quickly packed up his key items, randomly selected one from the CIA's global network of safe houses, and left the headquarters building silently like a ghost without notifying anyone.
Before leaving, he left a carefully prepared "gift" for several powerful figures in the CIA—an encrypted message.
The core idea is: the Easterner who appears in this project seems to possess supernatural powers. If he can be successfully captured, not only will the origins of Great Xia's technology be uncovered, but the truth behind his supernatural abilities will also be revealed...
