Chapter 784 - Missile Strike (1/2)
Jiang Fei and the rest who hid in the cave were able to avoid being discovered by the major rice-exporting country's satellites and drone scouts. However, Bai Wanli and the others who were exposed in the plains were easily discovered.
”Targets identified!”
”Lock onto the targets!”
”Firing zone confirmed!”
”Open fire!”
As Robert shouted the command, the major rice-exporting country's fleet started taking action. The firing bay for the guided-missile setup was opened as the missiles were fired and puffs of white smoke were left behind.
The guided missiles continued to ascend into the air. Very soon, it crossed the ozone layer. Then, it suddenly changed directions and moved toward Bai Wanli and the others before returning to the ozone layer.
After entering the ozone layer once again, the guided missiles began their descend at an increasing speed due to the pull of gravity. From afar, these missiles looked like meteorites falling from the sky.
”Alert! Alert! Man-made objects are approaching! Targets have been identified as guided missiles!” 0541's warning immediately woke Jiang Fei who was resting with his eyes closed.
”Increase the area of scan. Estimate the projectiles' destination!” Jiang Fei quickly gave orders to 0541 as he alerted the martial artists around him. ”Everyone, get up. Get ready to fight!”
The attack power of a guided missile varied. Normal guided missiles could only affect an area of up to a hundred meters. Although the attack power could still injure martial artists, it would not be sufficient to take their lives. However, if the guided missiles had nuclear elements, the attack power would be much stronger. Even a Level 4 martial artist could not survive if he was at the center of the explosion. As for Level 3 disciples, they would be annihilated even if they were at the outermost edge of the impact.
”The projectiles' destination has been confirmed. They are moving toward where the Snow Mountain Sect members are located!” 0541 reported.
”How long would it take before the missiles reach them?” Jiang Fei asked.
”Ninety seconds!” 0541 answered.
”What?!” color drained from Jiang Fei's face. Although the projectiles were approximately 1,200 meters away from the earth's surface after entering the ozone layer, they could reach twenty times the speed of sound. Therefore, it would not take long for them to reach their targets.
”We don't have time to remain in a state of shock. Captain, I suggest you warn those martial artists to evacuate immediately!” 0541 warned.
”Right! Right!” Jiang Fei immediately dialed for Bai Wanli's communication device.
”What's the matter, brother Jiang? Has something happened?” Bai Wanli and the other Advance level martial artists could feel that something was amiss. Although they could not foresee the guided missiles' arrival, their martial art instincts somehow forewarned them that danger was imminent.
”I don't have time to explain. Please evacuate immediately. Get as far away from your current location as possible if you wish to live!” Jiang Fei shouted into the communication device.
”I understand!” Bai Wanli did not even question Jiang Fei any further. The disturbance in his heart caused him to believe every word Jiang Fei had said.
”Everyone, follow me! Let's run!” Bai Wanli called out to the martial artists around him as he started running in a random direction.
”What happened?” Although the other martial artists were equally confused, they felt the same disturbance in their hearts which made them very wary. Now that they had seen Bai Wanli's behavior, they knew that something was definitely amiss.
There were more than three hundred martial artists in Bai Wanli's group. After a full night's rest, these martial artists had recovered some of their strength. Therefore, they moved at a shockingly high speed.
