Chapter 785 - Sudden Disappearance (1/2)
”Wait here in the cave. Make it bigger if you can. I am going to find Sect Master Bai and the others.” Jiang Fei said to the martial artists around him.
”Brother Jiang, isn't it dangerous for you to go alone?” Zhu Tianfei asked worriedly.
”It's alright. There will be a lower possibility of being discovered with a smaller number of people.” Jiang Fei shook his head. With 0541's support, he would not be discovered by the mutants.
”Alright then. Brother Jiang, stay safe.” Zhu Tianfei cupped his fists at Jiang Fei.
”Take care of yourselves,” Jiang Fei said to the female Bio-Humans. As he did not want too many people accompanying him, he decided to only bring Ariel along.
”Alright, don't worry, senior!” The ladies nodded in unison. They had been asked by Jiang Fei to address him as their senior in front of outsiders.
”Ariel, let's go!” Jiang Fei said after making sure that everything was in order. He then left the cave with Ariel.
”0541, cover us!” Jiang Fei immediately activated the invisibility effect after exiting the cave.
After leaving the cave, Jiang Fei and Ariel hurried over to the designated location. Bai Wanli and the others were also running toward the same location. Although the martial artists did not have an invisibility effect like Jiang Fei, they ran at full speed which made it difficult for the major rice-exporting country's fleet to target them with the guided missiles.
The major rice-exporting country had decided not to use nuclear bombs because they did not want to break the unspoken rule of not using them. Since China also had nuclear bombs, they would surely use the same weapons if the major rice-exporting country did. The mutants, like the martial artists, were incapable of defending themselves against nuclear attacks.
While the Chinese military could turn a blind eye to the fight between the mutants and the martial artists, the mutants could not sit by idly as they had fully merged with the major rice-exporting country's military. If a nuclear war broke out, their mutant allies would all be affected.
Due to such considerations, the major rice-exporting country decided to only use guided missiles to make the martial artists exhausted from running around. However, they kept to the unspoken rules of not engaging Level 5 experts and nuclear bombs.
Although the major rice-exporting country's fleet could not accurately target Bai Wanli and the other martial artists, they still tried to make life difficult for the martial artists. While the major rice-exporting country's fleet did not know where the martial artists were headed to, they still decided to harass them with guided missiles.
As such, the martial artists had to constantly change their directions to avoid being hit by the guided missiles which rained upon them.
Although there were no significant losses, the martial artists were clearly starting to feel exhausted from using a lot of their energy. This was precisely what the major rice-exporting country wanted to achieve. They were not counting on the guided missiles to exterminate the martial artists. If that could be done, the Chinese military would have done it a long time ago.
The major rice-exporting country had a very simple objective which was to continuously tire the martial artists by making them run. Just as they did to the Japanese Bio-Humans previously, the mutants would show up and annihilate the martial artists once they became exhausted from running.
On one hand, the martial artists were being forced to run around and expend their energy. On the other hand, the mutants were resting and waiting for the right moment to attack. This was how the mutants were able to easily defeat the Japanese Bio-Humans in the past. Today, they wanted to use the same tactic on the martial artists.
While the journey for Bai Wanli and the others was very difficult, Jiang Fei had experienced the opposite. Firstly, with Ariel's help, Jiang Fei teleported a short distance away from where he started his journey. He then stayed on the track which would lead him to Bai Wanli and the others. However, unfortunately, Bai Wanli and the others had already deviated from the designated path due to the guided-missile attacks. Therefore, Jiang Fei was not able to find them even after a few hours.
”We can't waste anymore time! 0541, increase the range of scan!” Jiang Fei had no choice but to expend more energy. As he did not know that the major rice-exporting country would hold back from using nuclear bombs, he was still concerned about the possibility of a nuclear attack.
