Chapter 278: Long Country's Secret Weapon?

In the front passenger seat of a certain communication vehicle.

Su Xin, who was curiously looking around, suddenly felt the vibration of the phone in his pocket.

Immediately after, a deep voice came through the vehicle's communication channel:

"The target is about to arrive overhead. Everyone, hold steady and wait for orders!"

Su Xin looked up.

Sure enough, he saw a distinct air shockwave cutting through the sky, flying over rapidly.

He calmly opened the car door and stepped out.

He took off the backpack he had been carrying on his back, slowly pulled open the silver metal zipper, and revealed the ten metal Short Rods inside.

Just as he had requested, the Short Rods were bullet-shaped, two fingers thick, half a meter long, very handy to hold, and neither too heavy nor too light.

He looked up at the sky.

He saw the Alien Spaceship come to a stop right then.

A visible air torrent raged wildly in the surroundings, churning the air and forming a small but significant storm.

"Whoosh!"

A breeze happened to kick up on the ground, swirling yellow sand everywhere.

"Godspeed! Ten Thousand Times!"

Su Xin shifted his intent.

The world between heaven and earth suddenly fell into silence.

The dense yellow sand solidified in the air like specks, and all the people and objects around were also as if completely sealed.

Su Xin gripped a Short Rod tightly, took a small step forward with his left leg, twisted his hips, half-turned his body, and using the strength of his entire body, swung his right arm holding the Short Rod violently toward the sky.

He let go, and the Short Rod solidified in the air.

Su Xin picked up the other Short Rods from the backpack and performed the same action from different positions one after another.

Not until eight metal Short Rods were solidified in mid-air like a forest of spears and a rain of arrows did he return to the spot where he had gotten out of the car, covered his ears, closed his eyes, and carefully crouched on the ground before deactivating Godspeed.

"Boom!!"

A sound like thunder resounded throughout the entire area.

Several terrifying shockwaves surged simultaneously, kicking up large amounts of yellow sand that instantly filled the area, obscuring the vision of many people and striking the vehicles with a crackling sound.

Something even more terrifying was happening in the sky.

Eight Short Rods were seen cutting through the air, instantly forming thick Plasma Clusters at their tips, flying through the air at super-high speeds like meteors.

Ten Mach?

Twenty Mach?

One hundred Mach?

No one knew how fast it was.

The enhanced Su Xin already had three times the strength of an ordinary person; although he was throwing metal rods weighing over ten jin at the sky, the initial speed was at least 20 meters per second.

Under the blessing of the Ten Thousand Times God Speed state, that was an initial speed of 200,000 meters per second.

Nearly six hundred Mach!

At such a speed, even a small pebble would possess unparalleled destructive power, and this was a single-point strike concentrating all lethality on one spot, even more terrifying than a missile.

The key was that it was impossible to dodge.

No one could react in time.

Not even the alien Iris, who called himself a Level 2 Lifeform, or the Artificial Intelligence program on the spaceship.

Inside the spaceship.

Iris had just controlled the spaceship to stop and, seeing the armored vehicles waiting in full battle array on the screen below, smiled with disdain.

"Heh! Ignorant humans..."

Before his words were finished, he saw a glaring red light suddenly flash on the console.

This was the spaceship's danger warning light.

Almost at the same time the warning light turned on, before Iris could react, he suddenly felt his vision go black, and his consciousness dissipated completely.

In the live broadcast.

Countless netizens around the world were nervous about the appearance of the Alien Spaceship.

But the next second, they saw the spaceship suddenly explode for no reason, turning into a ball of fireworks.

Then, a visible, powerful hurricane appeared out of thin air, sweeping the wreckage and fireworks of the spaceship into the high sky, instantly turning them into debris across the sky, almost vanishing from sight.

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

High-ranking officials of various countries, netizens watching the live broadcast, and the soldiers of various countries at the scene were all dumbfounded.

"Where is the spaceship? Where did it go?"

Finally, someone muttered and asked.

These words were like a bomb, instantly waking up everyone who had been stunned.

Everyone began to discuss it frantically.

"I think I saw a black shadow flash by just now; there must have been something that destroyed the spaceship."

"It's too terrifying. What was that thing? Could it be Long Country's secret weapon?"

"The Alien Spaceship that even Yingjiang Country was helpless against was instantly killed by this secret weapon; it's truly too powerful!"

"It must be a weapon developed by President Su!"

"Besides President Su, who else could develop something that is so far ahead of the whole world?"

"Regardless of who developed it, in any case, we should have won now, right?"

Inside the combat command vehicle.

Commander-in-chief Ye Rundong, along with several others, all froze in place, and for a long while, no one spoke.

Until a certain moment.

Only then did a middle-aged white man in military uniform, who was the representative for Yingjiang Country, John Saka, speak with difficulty:

"The spaceship, was it really destroyed?"

He looked at Ye Rundong, his face full of complex emotions.

Yesterday, when the United Combat Legion was urgently formed and it came to the stage of electing a commander-in-chief, some people said that Yingjiang Country had already been beaten to the point of having no power to fight back by the Alien Spaceship, so it was not suitable for a general from Yingjiang Country to serve as commander-in-chief.

Consequently, many people voted for Long Country; after all, in the eyes of the vast majority, Long Country was the world's second-largest military power, and some even felt that Long Country had already become the first.

With Yingjiang Country excluded as the first option, everyone naturally chose Long Country.

Moreover, Long Country had the existence of Su Xin, and many people were looking forward to Long Country having mysterious trump cards.

John had originally been somewhat unconvinced in his heart.

As a high-ranking general of the Yingjiang Country Military, he was naturally unwilling to be subordinate to Ye Rundong.

He felt that this caused Yingjiang Country to lose all face.

But there was no help for it; the voting result was as such.

He could only accept it helplessly.

He had even comforted himself in his heart that this decisive battle with the aliens might not necessarily be a good job; if they lost, the commander-in-chief would certainly have to bear great responsibility, subsequently leading to Long Country being condemned by the whole world, or even becoming a sinner of Blue Star.

But now.

Seeing the alien spaceship being killed in an instant the moment it appeared, all the dissatisfaction in his heart vanished instantly.

Replacing it was intense fear.

The alien spaceship was already powerful enough to leave the entire Yingjiang Country helpless.

How terrifying must the secret weapon of Long Country that could kill the alien spaceship in an instant be?

Everyone present were generals from various countries, and they all had the same thought as John, feeling that what killed the alien spaceship in an instant was a secret weapon of Long Country.

To be precise, they felt that this was a secret weapon developed by Su Xin in cooperation with Long Country.

After all, on the entire Blue Star, only Su Xin possessed this kind of magical research and development capability.

Little did they know, at this moment, Ye Rundong was also filled with shock and bewilderment.

"What exactly is Mr. Su's secret weapon? How could it be so strong?"

"I didn't even see the firing action, and it killed the alien spaceship in an instant?"

"This speed is simply invincible!"

The decisive battle between Blue Star humans and the aliens ended in such an anticlimactic way.

But the impact and changes this battle brought to Blue Star had only just begun.

The threat of the aliens caused the conflicts between the various countries of Blue Star to decrease significantly all at once.

Coupled with Long Country's secret weapon, it made all countries, including Yingjiang, become very well-behaved.

The whole world seemed to have become harmonious all of a sudden.

Tianjing Western Suburbs, biological Laboratory building.

In a slightly cramped Laboratory, Su Xin sat alone in front of the workbench, observing a piece of dark red flesh with a high-magnification optical microscope.

This was the body tissue of Iris.

In that decisive battle, he had thrown eight Short Rods in succession, successfully blowing the entire spaceship into fragments, and the flesh tissue of Iris was also scattered everywhere in the air.

Most of it was burned into charcoal by the Plasma Cluster and weathered away during the fall.

A small portion of the flesh tissue, bones, and so on were scattered in the vast Sahara Desert and were carefully collected by the United Combat Legion.

Half of it was sent to Su Xin's Laboratory building, and the other half was distributed among the various countries.

"Sure enough, the cells of the aliens have a considerable difference from those of humans."

Su Xin moved his head away and recorded some characteristics he observed and some thoughts in his mind into the tablet computer on the side.

He had originally been researching ability potions during this period, but now that he had obtained the alien flesh tissue, he naturally had to prioritize researching it.

Moreover, in this battle to eliminate the aliens, he deeply felt his own inadequacies.

If it weren't for the fact that the alien Iris was too arrogant and conceited, taking the initiative to enter the encirclement, it would have been impossible for him to eliminate the opponent so easily in this battle.

Even if the opponent had disregarded everything and destroyed things everywhere, Su Xin might have died under the opponent's powerful bombardment.

After all, the firing speed of that kind of light cannon on the alien spaceship was truly too fast, and the power was also astonishingly great; if the opponent had suddenly arrived above Su Xin and fired a shot exactly at the area where he was located, he might not even have had time to activate the Godspeed state.

Therefore.

The most important thing for Su Xin now was to find a way to solve his own flight problem, so that if aliens came to attack again, he would also be able to deal with them.

And regarding the flight ability.

Ability potions might be able to achieve it.

But even if the ability potion research was successful, the activated ability was usually random and might not necessarily activate the ability to fly.

Even if it wasn't random, wanting to specifically activate the ability to fly had no direction at all, and he didn't know how long it would take to research.

Therefore.

Su Xin intended to look for other methods.

For example, the Nano Battle Armor or Bio-Armor he had considered before.

Among them, for the Bio-Armor, the alien flesh tissue before his eyes was a very good material.

"Taking the Guyver as inspiration, I can combine the cells of Iris with cancer cells, and find a way to develop cells that possess powerful toughness and strength, while also being capable of infinite proliferation."

"Normally stored in a small device, or stored somewhere inside the body, when needed, let it absorb nutrients, proliferate rapidly, and cover the surface of the body to form a full-body battle armor."

Su Xin muttered in a low voice.

"In this way, both attack capabilities and defensive capabilities can be effectively amplified."

"But flight, it seems, is not that easy."

Su Xin fell into deep thought.
