Chapter 2638: The Nest-Covering Plan Has Been Achieved!

Wan Pojun gave the order, and the bases of the three gates' close-in defense cannons suddenly emitted a series of explosions; the close-in defense cannons originally fixed firmly to the concrete bases were instantly disconnected.

Immediately, the bases of the glass rooms were all blown apart; the pre-arranged engineering team rushed up, pushed the entire glass roof downstairs, and then connected the prepared lifting straps, waiting for the helicopter to arrive for lifting.

At the same time, the Jinyiwei and their families, who had long prepared for retreat, began to rush out of their rooms like firefighters responding to an alarm.

They had almost no luggage, because here, they had few personal belongings.

As for those dead warriors and their families, they had already been transferred to the ship days earlier, so during the retreat, as long as all ground personnel evacuated, they could directly blow this place into ruins.

In the open space where Oubojun was torn to pieces, nearly a thousand people, following the steps previously rehearsed many times, quickly gathered in designated areas in the open space.

The vehicles specially used for transporting ore at the copper mine also all started up; each vehicle had its predetermined parking spot, and when the vehicles stopped steadily, the people waiting nearby immediately climbed aboard.

At the same time, three helicopters had already come roaring through the sky.

They had been waiting on the cargo ship at the port as Wan Pojun required; when the cannon fire sounded, they immediately started their engines and rushed over at top speed.

At this moment, truck after truck loaded with people had already been driving out of the copper mine, speeding toward the port.

Because of prior drills, the retreat of these hundreds or thousands of people proceeded in an orderly manner.

The helicopters also quickly lifted the three close-in defense cannons and flew back swiftly to the port.

Since the copper mine is located in a remote area, the authorities had not yet received any news at this time.

And only ten minutes had passed since Oubojun's death; everyone at the scene had already completed the evacuation.

The fourth helicopter brought Wan Pojun and Qiu Zhiyuan to an altitude of several hundred meters; Wan Pojun looked down at the copper mine, which, although brightly lit, was already empty of people, and pressed the remote detonator in his hand.

Immediately, a series of massive explosions came from deep underground; the sound of this explosion was more than a hundred times that of the close-in defense cannons.

Subsequently, a shocking scene appeared before Wan Pojun's eyes.

The ground of the copper mine began to collapse one after another; each collapse was earth-shaking and mountain-moving, and along with the buildings on the ground, like paper paste, they were quickly brought down together into debris.

Because the Breaking Qing Society had carried out extensive renovations inside the copper mine, the internal space was huge; when these spaces all collapsed, the ground of the entire copper mine quickly formed a subsidence area several meters deep, and the subsidence area was not limited to the position of the surface copper mine, but also extended along the direction of the tunnels, forming severe subsidence.

Soon, this copper mine became a wasteland.

Wan Pojun let out a long breath, took out his phone, and sent a message to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, the experts of the Breaking Qing Society have been reduced to ashes, and the Nest-Covering Plan has been successfully completed!"

After saying that, he also sent Ye Chen the full-process video recorded by the surveillance equipment.

At this time, Jin Ling was early morning.

Ye Chen had just gotten up from bed, and Xiao Churan beside him was still asleep.

He picked up his phone, received Wan Pojun's message and video, felt delighted, stepped onto the balcony, and then opened the video.

This footage is the full-process monitoring of that defense system of the Wanlong Palace.

It began tracking and filming Oubojun from the moment he was discovered, so what Ye Chen saw was almost the entire process of Oubojun from appearance to being killed.

Although Ye Chen could not see Oubojun's cultivation level from the video, he and Wan Pojun could tell, from Oubojun's agility when sneaking into the copper mine and his movements trying to dodge cannon fire, that this person's strength was quite formidable.

Leaving aside whether he mastered spiritual energy, just based on his speed and explosive power, Wan Pojun was fundamentally no match for him.

If Wan Pojun were to engage him head-on, he might not even have time to react before being struck down by a single move from the opponent.

Therefore, judging by this person's strength, he must be one of the Four Great Earls.

Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and called back Wan Pojun.

As soon as the call connected, Wan Pojun respectfully said: "Mr. Ye, did you see the video I sent?"

"I saw it." Ye Chen smiled: "You did a very beautiful job; although the opponent's strength was great, he had absolutely no power to fight back, and you did it very cleanly and neatly!"

Wan Pojun hurriedly said: "Thanks to your good idea, Mr. Ye; otherwise, I would have racked my brains and still couldn't think of using close-in defense cannons to deal with the Breaking Qing Society's super experts..."

Wan Pojun was not flattering; he sincerely admired Ye Chen's foresight.

The Wanlong Palace had previously taken on missions all over the world, having seen mountains of blades and seas of fire; Wan Pojun felt that not only was his personal strength strong, but his battlefield command was also of a high standard.

However, for so long, the Wanlong Palace had never thought of utilizing this kind of superweapon, the close-in defense cannon.

But Ye Chen's single sentence, "fear of insufficient firepower," gave rise to this kind of ruthless expert meat grinder, which is indeed a genius-like idea.

Ye Chen did not feel proud of his sudden inspiration; on the contrary, after seeing the video of Oubojun reduced to ashes, he also felt a great shadow in his heart.

He felt that his own strength might not be much stronger than Oubojun's.

So, since Oubojun could not escape the slaughter of the three gates' close-in defense cannons, neither did he have a chance.

This also means that in this world, he is still full of danger.

And among these, the greatest danger is arrogance!

Oubojun was precisely because he was too arrogant, so he did not carefully inspect the scene.

If he had been cautious enough, secretly observing the copper mine for several days from hundreds of meters away, he would probably not have difficulty discovering its strangeness.

Especially since those three gates' close-in defense cannons were hidden in the glass room on the roof; if he had noticed the glass room and become suspicious of it, he would not have so rashly come in to seek death.

In fact, in Ye Chen's view, if tonight in Cyprus it were himself, and if he acted as rashly as Oubojun, his fate would certainly also be death.

But as long as he himself is cautious enough and does not give the three gates' close-in defense cannons a chance to lock onto him, it would not be easy for those three gates' close-in defense cannons to harm him.

Ye Chen felt that he actually had many methods to eliminate the threat of the three gates' close-in defense cannons; one is using the Thunderclap Order, and the second is using the Soul-Piercing Blade.

The thunder summoned by the Thunderclap Order, although it cannot shatter the steel-forged close-in defense cannons, can at least completely destroy the cannon's electrical system; if the close-in defense cannon loses electricity, it is like an electric car having its battery stolen—the huge turret and thick barrel cannot move at all, let alone lock onto a target.

The power of the Soul-Piercing Blade is even more arrogant; it itself cuts iron like mud, and if used to greet the close-in defense cannon, one strike can cleave it in half at the waist.

These two methods can both completely eliminate the threat of the close-in defense cannon.

But the key to the problem is that one must be cautious enough and careful enough to discover the opponent before the opponent locks onto oneself.

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Chen also reminded himself in his heart: in future actions, one must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again.

Thus, Ye Chen said to Wan Pojun: "Pojun, from now on, you and the soldiers of the Wanlong Palace must act with absolute caution; never leave an opportunity for the enemy."

Wan Pojun immediately said: "Mr. Ye, rest assured; I have personally experienced the incidents at Mount Mount Ye Ling and Cyprus, and from now on, at any time, I dare not be arrogant again..."

Ye Chen hummed in acknowledgment, then instructed: "Be sure to destroy all clues; moreover, after all members of the Jinyiwei withdraw, let them drift at sea, and do not land for the next six months; I want the clues to be completely cut off at sea!"
