Chapter 1610: Chapter 942: Took the Bait
Early the next morning, someone hurriedly came in to report.
“Mr. Liang, Miss Witch requests to see you.”
Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow. Molly Witch had been sent by him to negotiate with the Divine Country, and she returned so early. Could it be that the negotiations were successful?
“Let her in.”
“Yes, sir.”
Soon after, Molly swiftly walked in. Upon seeing Liang Yuan, she slightly bowed and said, “Master.”
Liang Yuan asked, “Back so soon? How did it go with the Divine Country?”
Molly sighed and said, “I’m incompetent and failed to accomplish the task.”
“Hm? What do you mean?”
Molly immediately recounted what happened yesterday.
“That’s the general situation. The Divine Country has no intention of cooperating with us. Or rather, they never intended to pay any price.”
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan sneered and said, “It seems they think the Jingzhou Military won’t cooperate with us, so they believe we have no choice but to join forces with them against the Jingzhou Military.”
Molly angrily said, “When I talked to them, it was clear that they looked down on us.”
“Master, the people of the Divine Country are arrogant and disrespectful. I think we shouldn’t cooperate with them at all; let the Jingzhou Military destroy them.”
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, and a plan surfaced in his mind.
“No rush. I have a plan, but for now, don’t contact the people from the Divine Country.”
“Next, I need you to prepare. In a few days, another heavyweight from the Jingzhou Military will likely arrive.”
Molly was startled and asked, “Have we cooperated with the Jingzhou Military? What’s their heavyweight coming here for?”
Liang Yuan smiled, “Of course, to ‘attack’ us.”
Molly was suddenly bewildered, not understanding the reason.
Liang Yuan didn’t explain further and just instructed her to prepare for battle.
After Molly left, Liang Yuan once again entered a state of cultivation.
These days, aside from handling these matters, he dedicated all his other time to cultivation.
The genetic recombination progress was only 2% shy of perfection, which couldn’t be neglected.
Once genetic recombination reached perfection, no one on this planet would be his match.
By then, his cultivation speed would only increase.
Until noon, Molly hurriedly came back in.
“Master, Li Hu has sent a message back. Hou Jianjun will arrive in at most half an hour.”
Hearing this, Liang Yuan smiled immediately and asked, “Is everything ready?”
“Don’t worry, everything is prepared. As soon as they enter Li Hu’s Floating Island, we’ll activate the Sealing Array and catch the entire Jingzhou Military group in one net.” Molly said with a smile.
Liang Yuan also smiled, “Excellent.”
“Let’s go over and watch.”
Soon, the two were back on Li Hu’s invisible Floating Island.
At the moment, everything appeared normal on the Floating Island. People were busy with their tasks, and the residential area on the island was still bustling.
However, in reality, the entire island was already surrounded by a Sealing Array. Among the seemingly ordinary residents, many were Genetic Reorganization Level experts from Kerry Technology.
Bombs had even been planted nearby.
The whole Floating Island was now a gigantic trap.
It was waiting to snap shut as soon as Li Hu brought Hou Jianjun and the others over.
Half an hour later, the sky twisted in the distance, and a huge Floating Island appeared out of thin air in the void.
Liang Yuan, along with James and Molly, witnessed this spectacle and couldn’t help but look surprised.
“Is this space transfer?” James couldn’t help but ask.
Beside him, Molly was also secretly amazed, “They can even transfer an entire Floating Island over. Incredible.”
Liang Yuan said seriously, “It seems the Jingzhou Military’s use of Superpower Rune Technology has long surpassed ours.”
“No wonder it was the capital before the apocalypse. Indeed impressive.”
James commented, “It has a bit of that sci-fi movie vibe from before the apocalypse.”
“I reckon the spaceship they’re developing must be equipped with this technology too. I wonder if it can achieve super long-distance space transfer as in movies.”
“Even short-distance space transfer is impressive.” Liang Yuan sighed.
In technology development, the hardest part is moving from none to some.
Now that space transfer technology has been developed, further research on transfer range will only get easier.
As the Floating Island emerged, the surrounding space gradually stabilized.
The energy-shielding defensive cover on the space-transferred Floating Island began to disperse.
Then, they saw dozens of figures rise into the air, flying from that Floating Island toward Li Hu’s Floating Island.
Liang Yuan saw this scene and said, “They’re here!”
“Notify everyone to be ready to activate the Sealing Array at any moment.”
James immediately nodded, “Okay.”
In the air, as Li Hu looked at his ‘Invisible Island,’ he felt a bit nervous.
At this point, Hou Jianjun suddenly asked, “Li Hu, besides James from Kerry Technology, are there any other experts?”
Upon hearing this, Li Hu replied, “There are two others with impressive strength, one called Jacks, the other called Molly.”
“Are they foreigners too?” Hou Jianjun asked with doubt.
Li Hu shook his head, “Jacks is a foreigner, but the woman named Molly is from the Dragon Country.”
“A woman from the Dragon Country willingly serving as a foreigner’s henchman, huh.” A young man in military uniform beside Hou Jianjun sneered with disdain.
Li Hu said, “I heard that the woman was James’s girlfriend even before the apocalypse. Although they broke up after the apocalypse, they continued to work together.”
The young military man sneered, “So she’s always been a watchdog before the apocalypse.”
Li Hu said nothing, but Hou Jianjun reprimanded, “Sun Qihang, put away your condescending attitude. How many times have I told you? We must face every enemy with utmost diligence!”
“We’re in the Superpower Era now, and the superpowers of superpower users are unpredictable. If we’re not careful, we could lose our heads. Do you understand?”
The young man named Sun Qihang nodded, “Understood, General.”
Although he said so, a trace of disdain still flashed in his eyes.
He looked down on such a watchdog, both in terms of character and strength.
As they spoke, the group had arrived at Li Hu’s Floating Island.
Hou Jianjun, without any precautions, followed Li Hu onto the island’s military area.
Li Hu’s gaze swept the surroundings, noticing many unfamiliar faces, his heartbeat slightly quickened.
Hou Jianjun couldn’t help but frown slightly, seemingly sensing something.
He turned his head to Li Hu and asked, “Hold on.”
Li Hu stopped in his tracks, maintaining a calm expression as he looked at Hou Jianjun, “General, what’s wrong?”
“Why is your heartbeat so rapid? Are you hiding something from me?” Hou Jianjun asked.
Without changing his expression, Li Hu smiled, “Why would I? I’ve been with you for so many years, don’t you trust me?”
Hou Jianjun narrowed his gaze, “Yes, you’ve been with me for so many years, handling countless crises big and small. When did you ever get nervous?”
Li Hu’s smile gradually stiffened, realizing Hou Jianjun truly suspected him.
And at that moment, abruptly, throughout the Floating Island, lights from arrays shot up into the sky.
Instantly, the heavens and the earth were sealed, and the entire void was sealed.
Hou Jianjun, Sun Qihang, and others immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sun Qihang instinctively tried to mobilize his superpower, then realized he couldn’t access his superpower energy.
He instantly showed a look of shock and anger.
“A Sealing Array!”
He immediately realized something, suddenly turning his head, glaring at Li Hu, “Tiger, is it you?!”
He was beside himself with disbelief.
Li Hu had been a military friend since before the apocalypse, always Hou Jianjun’s right-hand man.
He couldn’t believe Li Hu would betray them!
At this moment, Hou Jianjun’s expression also became instantly serious, his gaze surveying the scope of the Sealing Array around him.
The entire Sealing Array covered almost half of the island. Now unable to use superpowers and having to flee on foot, it was impossible to escape this Sealing Array area in a short time!
Meanwhile, many people around had stopped their work and were beginning to gather around.
Hou Jianjun’s face darkened, turning his gaze to Li Hu.
“Why?”
“You were the one I trusted the most. Why do this?”
Li Hu smiled, “For my master.”
“What?” Hou Jianjun was stunned for a moment.
Sun Qihang next to him was also shocked, “Your master? Li Hu, what are you talking about? Where did you get a master? Who is your master?”
“What era is this? You’re not a pig or a dog to acknowledge a master?”
Hou Jianjun, however, caught on. His expression became extremely dark, and he said, “He’s been subjected to a mind-control superpower.”
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Li Hu, instead looking around and loudly shouted, “Come out! You went through painstaking efforts to enslave my confidant only to wait for me to fall into your trap?”
