Chapter 2617

At this time, Ye Chen subconsciously touched his pants pocket.

He still hadn't figured out what the ring Lin Wan'er gave him was for, but he had always carried it with him, fearing that something might happen to it or he might lose it.

The reason Ye Chen valued this thing so much wasn't because it was precious, but because he had invested too much spiritual energy into it. If the spiritual energy were converted into labor, it would be almost equivalent to him working as a coolie for this thing for three years, and then being owed wages without getting a cent.

So, naturally, he couldn't let this thing get out of his control.

Confirming that the ring was still there through his pocket, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but think of the girl named Lin Wan'er.

He couldn't figure out what was so special about this ring and that girl that could make the Lord of the Poqing Society value them so much.

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful, regretting that he hadn't asked Lin Wan'er clearly in Northern Europe. At that time, he had already used spiritual energy to give her psychological hints. He should have taken her to a safe place first and then gotten to the bottom of it.

Now, Lin Wan'er had already gone to who knows where. Wanting to solve this doubt now was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Feng Zidong didn't know that the ring the Poqing Society was racking their brains to get was currently in the pocket of Ye Chen's jeans.

In his eyes, Ye Chen was the son of an old friend, and his parents were both dead, so he naturally felt a bit of care. So he said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, I received news that the Poqing Society has had big movements recently. You have had friction with the Poqing Society, and the Poqing Society will definitely try every possible way to find you, so you must be low-key, low-key, and low-key."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Uncle Feng, what big movements does the Poqing Society have recently?"

Feng Zidong said: "I don't know the specifics, but my father told me that the four Earls of the Poqing Society have come out one after another. This is unprecedented in the Poqing Society. The four Earls are the most powerful existences under the Lord, and their strength has long surpassed martial artists. They can take the head of an enemy general among ten thousand troops. If anyone is targeted by them, I'm afraid it will be more ominous than auspicious!"

"Take the head of an enemy general among ten thousand troops?" Ye Chen frowned and repeated in a low voice, secretly thinking: "These four Earls must be experts who are as proficient in spiritual energy as I am. If they only target me, I still have the confidence to fight them, but if they target the people around me, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it..."

So, Ye Chen asked him: "Uncle Feng, did the four Earls of the Poqing Society come out to find that girl and that ring?"

Feng Zidong said: "It should be. My father doesn't know much either. His level is still too far from these people."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "I also ask Uncle Feng not to mention my affairs to your father, so as not to leak the news."

Feng Zidong said without hesitation: "You can rest assured, I will keep your affairs absolutely confidential, just be careful yourself during this time."

"Good!" Ye Chen cupped his hands: "Thank you, Uncle Feng!"

Feng Zidong smiled slightly: "Your father was my old brother, you don't need to be polite with me. If you need my help with anything in the future, just contact me."

As he spoke, he took out a business card and handed it to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took the business card with both hands and said: "Thank you, Uncle Feng!"

Feng Zidong waved his hand with a smile, then looked at the time and said: "Ye Chen, it's getting late, I have to rush back to Yanjing. Let's talk here for today. If there is any new news in the future, I will definitely tell you at the first opportunity."

Ye Chen bowed slightly and said: "Thank you, Uncle Feng. If I have any situation here, I will also communicate with you at the first opportunity."

Feng Zidong nodded and said earnestly: "If you have time to come to Yanjing, you must contact me."

"Good!"

After the conversation with Feng Zidong ended, Ye Chen let the helicopter parked at the hotel at the foot of the mountain fly back to the villa courtyard to land, and watched Feng Zidong leave by helicopter.

After the helicopter disappeared on the other side of the mountain, he sighed and turned back into the villa with Su Ruoli.

Ye Chen returned to the basement without a word, and Su Ruoli also followed him silently. It wasn't until they returned to the basement that she asked Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, Uncle Feng just said that the Poqing Society sent out some 'Four Earls.' Are they very powerful?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't know what kind of strength these people have, but since the Tiger Guards Camp is already composed of Dark Realm experts, these four confidants of the Lord of the Poqing Society must be much stronger than Dark Realm experts."

Su Ruoli's expression was shocked: "Dark Realm experts are already very rare top-tier experts. If they are much stronger than Dark Realm experts, wouldn't that be the Transformation Realm or the Grandmaster Realm? Are there really martial artists in these two realms?"

Ye Chen said seriously: "There are people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens. The strength of these four people might be even stronger than so-called Grandmaster Realm martial artists."

Ye Chen guessed that these so-called Four Earls must be experts with spiritual energy like himself.

People who possess spiritual energy are naturally much stronger than martial artists.

Moreover, their strength might even be above his own.

More importantly, Ye Chen now couldn't figure out the true intention of these Four Earls coming out. They might be looking for Lin Wan'er and the ring Lin Wan'er gave him, or they might be looking for him, who had ruined their good deeds twice in the United States and Northern Europe, or perhaps both.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If one of the Earls of the Poqing Society found him, he would still have the confidence to deal with it. But if two Earls appeared in front of him at the same time, he was afraid he wouldn't have a chance of winning.

Moreover, he was sitting in Jin Ling. If someone really came to the door, he would have the confidence to deal with it. But if one of the Poqing Society's Earls found the Wanlong Palace, or found the dead soldier base in Cyprus, neither Wan Pojun nor his master Qiu Zhiyuan would have any chance of winning.

Perhaps, they would be directly beheaded by the other party!

Moreover, Ye Chen knew one thing very clearly: the batch of Cavalry Guards who caught Lin Wan'er were dispatched from that dead soldier base in Cyprus. If the Poqing Society really wanted to find clues about him, there were only two directions: one was to check backward from the time Lin Wan'er was attacked, and the other was to check forward along the clues of Lin Wan'er's attack.

Checking backward was naturally checking where Lin Wan'er went and where he went.

Checking forward was naturally checking where this batch of Cavalry Guards came from, who they met along the way, and what they did.

If they only checked backward, Ye Chen wouldn't be afraid at all, because he had already covered up all the clues related to himself with Helena's help. They couldn't find him;

But once they started checking forward, their first target would definitely be the dead soldier base in Cyprus!

And if they only sent special envoys like Duan Liye, Ye Chen wouldn't worry that they would notice any abnormalities.

However, once one of the Four Earls went to Cyprus, he might immediately discover that everyone in the entire Cyprus base had been detoxified, and then immediately discover the problem!

So, the urgent matter now was to find a way to save the lives of those Cavalry Guards and dead soldiers in Cyprus.

Once they were exposed, they would definitely die, and even the Wanlong Palace couldn't protect them.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately began to think of countermeasures.

He felt that although mastering spiritual energy would lead to a qualitative improvement in strength, it hadn't reached the point of being indestructible. So these Four Earls weren't truly invincible.

Moreover, Ye Chen firmly believed that at the level of lethality, no matter how powerful an expert was, they couldn't defeat modern thermal weapons.

Martial arts experts could block ordinary bullets, but they absolutely couldn't block shells. And conventional missiles or rockets could be invincible within a killing range of hundreds or even thousands of meters. Whether you are a Dark Realm expert or a powerhouse proficient in spiritual energy, one shot would ensure you turned into ashes.

So, as long as the method was appropriate, ordinary people might not necessarily be unable to fight them.

So, he took out his mobile phone and called Wan Pojun, who was far away in Syria.

The call was connected, and Wan Pojun said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, what are your instructions?"

Ye Chen asked him: "Pojun, can you get the best life detection system, including but not limited to military-grade life detection radar, infrared, and thermal imaging equipment?"

Wan Pojun said: "Mr. Ye, infrared detection equipment and thermal imaging equipment are standard equipment for every special forces soldier of the Wanlong Palace. As for the life detection system, this is relatively general, and I don't quite understand your general needs."

Ye Chen explained: "I don't know much about military affairs either, but I want you to help me realize a function."

Wan Pojun immediately said: "Mr. Ye, please speak, I will take notes first."

Ye Chen said: "First, I need a device that can cover the entire base of your Wanlong Palace, or cover the copper mine we took down in Cyprus. This device needs to detect living bodies within the entire coverage area 24 hours a day without interruption. That is to say, regardless of what principle he uses, whether it is infrared, thermal imaging, or other life detection logic, what I need is that once a stranger enters his detection range, he can respond immediately and mark the other party's position in real time!"

Wan Pojun said: "Back to Mr. Ye, I don't know if there is such a complete solution at present, but I can try to find out."

Ye Chen gave a hum and added: "My second requirement is that you must find a way to get me a few close-in defense guns, and combine these close-in defense guns with the system I just mentioned. That is to say, once a stranger is found sneaking in, lock him tightly with the close-in defense gun. Once he has a problem, chase him and beat him to death! Just like the close-in defense gun defends against missiles, fire hundreds of shells in one second to achieve all-around firepower coverage!"

Wan Pojun exclaimed: "Mr. Ye... I dare to remind you... the close-in defense gun is not a machine gun... it is an automatic cannon, and it is an automatic cannon with a very high rate of fire. You can understand it as a super-sized Gatling machine gun that is dozens or hundreds of times more powerful. Those are big killers used on warships to hit missiles or on land to hit fighter jets. If you use this thing to hit people, one shot will blow people to pieces. Wouldn't it be too much of a waste?"

Ye Chen said earnestly: "No! I have a fear of insufficient firepower! So I must leave enough abundance in firepower! Even if one shell from the close-in defense gun can blow a person to pieces, you must fire hundreds or thousands of shells at him in one breath! Remember one thing, as long as our target, after being greeted by this set of systems, still has a fragment weighing more than 50 grams, that is your dereliction of duty, Wan Pojun!"

Ye Chen had witnessed in New York how martial arts experts were slaughtered by modern weapons. Don't look at how strong these experts are, but when bullets are fired as densely as raindrops, they simply can't resist for a few seconds.

So, if the defensive weapon is changed to a close-in defense gun, even someone with strength stronger than his own will definitely die!

Moreover, Ye Chen himself knew very clearly that if he needed to assassinate a martial arts expert, he could also hide his aura and not be detected by any martial arts expert. However, that was limited to deceiving the senses of martial arts experts. If he directly ignored martial arts and used high-tech equipment for vigilance, he wouldn't be able to deceive technology either.

Just like the thermal imaging system, as long as it is something that emits heat, whether it is a person or an object, it cannot escape its detection. If one hides in a thick enough bunker, there is still a chance of not being discovered, but once one wants to sneak in actively, it is impossible to wrap the bunker on one's body. At that time, even an expert who has mastered spiritual energy will definitely be discovered.

So, Ye Chen planned to let Wan Pojun prepare a set of such big killers in Syria and Cyprus respectively. If a blind Earl really went there, he could blow him into ashes!

Wan Pojun didn't know who Ye Chen wanted to deal with, but hearing Ye Chen say this, he knew that a great enemy must be hidden, so he hurriedly asked him: "Mr. Ye, has something happened?"

Ye Chen didn't hide it from him and said: "I heard a piece of news through special channels that the four top experts of the Poqing Society have all come out. It is possible that the strength of each of them is no worse than mine. Although I don't know if they will find us, it is always right to be prepared in advance."

Wan Pojun thought for a while and replied: "Mr. Ye, getting close-in defense guns is not a big problem. Although I can't buy the most advanced close-in defense guns in the world today, many AK-630 and 30mm close-in defense guns from the former Soviet Union have flowed into the international arms market. Although the price is extremely high, with the current capital reserves of the Wanlong Palace, it is easy to buy a few sets back. It is not a big problem to install them in the base in Syria, but Cyprus will be very troublesome. After all, it is a sovereign country. Once we use this equipment in Cyprus, I am afraid the Cyprus authorities will intervene immediately, and I am afraid there will be some trouble."

Ye Chen said: "You don't need to consider this, because this defensive system is our last line of defense. Once a top expert really kills his way here, if we don't fight back, everyone in the copper mine will only have a dead end, and no one will be able to escape! So, once the other party finds it, we must shoot the other party's expert at the first opportunity, then blow up the copper mine in Cyprus, and everyone will withdraw to Syria overnight. In this way, not only can we make the Poqing Society lose a great general, but we can also cut off all clues and leave them with nowhere to start!"
