A week later.
At the base of the Black dicine Investigation Team within the Federation territory.
Wang Ye had received treatnt, and his injuries were no longer serious. He originally thought he had broken ribs, but a military doctor’s examination revealed that his bones were intact. It was just a muscle sprain from the impact, and his collarbone was sowhat dislocated.
All the people who had participated in the last operation gathered in the combat conference room. Wang Ye recognized several people from the Federation Navy and saw a big-bearded man wearing a hat; he learned his na was Gates.
The eting had not yet started, and a few soldiers were operating a computer by the podium, while a female soldier was distributing AR glasses to everyone.
"Where’s Price?" Wang Ye asked Schweinsteiger, seated next to him.
"I just saw him, he’s right outside," he replied.
"From his accent, he doesn’t sound like he’s from the Sethiyan Federation," said Wang Ye.
"Of course not, I heard he’s from the Englist Special Air Service," Schweinsteiger said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Price walked in, wearing desert camo pants, a black shirt, and his characteristic ram’s horn sideburns.
Following him was the overall commander of the Black dicine Investigation Team, Philip Howard.
Everyone stood up and saluted them.
Philip was a black man, just over 60, with full lips and large eyes, sporting a neat buzz cut, and a physique as strong as that of any front-line soldier, sharp and profound in gaze.
He stepped up to the podium, waved his hand at the soldiers, and everyone sat down.
Price stood a step behind him by his side.
"Put on the glasses, gentlen," Philip said.
Everyone wore their glasses, and a 3D model of Earth materialized in the open space in front of the podium.
"First, I want to congratulate you all on surviving the last mission. Although we lost a few brothers, their sacrifice was not in vain," Philip said.
The 3D Earth began to rotate, with certain areas marked with red dots.
Everyone quietly waited for Philip to continue.
"Our world is becoming increasingly dangerous. With the leak of the neutralizer formula, Black dicine is wreaking havoc in various regions. Even countries that previously couldn’t afford superpower soldiers are now training their own superpower armies," Philip said.
"The cruise ship we intercepted a week ago... it has been confird that the illegal superpower user was their cargo. After he reached his destination, they would remove his superpower and then inject it into people they had prepared in advance," Price continued.
He walked to the front of the Earth model, raised his right hand and gave a swipe, revealing a docunt page. Everyone looked closely and found it to be an introduction to a type of Black dicine.
"Iron Man. A degraded version of the Trinity-level Black dicine... because they diluted it, seeking quantity over quality. If that son of a bitch had had any training, we probably would have all died on that ship that night," Price said.
Hearing the word "Trinity," Wang Ye was startled. He knew what the Trinity represented. Had that level of Black dicine also been leaked?
At this mont, the Earth disappeared, replaced by two photographs.
One man and one woman, both Caucasian.
The man had long hair and a beard, wore sunglasses, and looked like a rock star.
The woman had a short haircut with one side shaved, exaggerated eye makeup, and a nose ring.
"Intelligence has confird the two main suspects responsible for the trafficking and transport of Black dicine, Johnny Bloodface and his crazy partner, Moli," Philip said.
"Johnny has been orchestrating terrorist attacks around the world for the past 20 years. anwhile, for over a decade, he has been involved in nurous Black dicine trades and leaks of neutralizers. Ironically, he himself is strongly opposed to superpowers and refuses to inject any Black dicine," Philip said.
"We’ve found this bastard," Price said.
The photo switched to a map of a small town north of Earth Sea: Yangjis.
This remote small town with a population of 60,000, far from the political and economic center of Yinan, with inconvenient transportation, was constantly supplied with vast electricity. Moreover, in the past few years, Yinan had displayed an aggressive stance, having long harbored intentions of invading its southern neighbor Vultask.
"He’s hiding there, and he’s already allied with the authorities of Yinan. If we submit an extradition request to their governnt, they will notify Johnny right away. So, this will be an illegal entry mission," Philip said.
"We go in, capture him, bring him out, and as for Moli, take her down on sight," Price added.
"Any questions, gentlen?" Philip asked.
"What kind of resistance can we expect within the territory? Will Yinan’s regular army engage us in combat?" a soldier asked.
"The Federation will exert pressure on Yinan, but given their stance, it won’t be very effective. We need to act fast. The longer we drag it out, the more likely we’ll co into fire with their regular army. Legally, we are the invaders, so I advise you to be swift. Complete the mission before things get out of hand and get out," Philip said.
"Will we encounter superpower soldiers?" another soldier asked.
"There are no official superpower soldiers in Yinan, but Johnny has definitely supplied them with Black dicine and neutralizers, so it’s safe to say there’s a 100% chance of engaging with superpower soldiers. But don’t worry, this is a joint operation. Your Black dicine Investigation Team will hold off the conventional ard forces upfront, while another task force will handle the capture. We also have four Double-Triangle units to assist, and they will hunt down the enemy’s superpower soldiers," Philip said.
"Should you encounter a superpower soldier, retreat and evade imdiately. Do not attempt to engage them. The Iron Man Black dicine sells well on the black market; even degraded versions cannot be hard by individual firepower," Price reminded them.
Everyone nodded, their glasses’ HUDs receiving the complete spec docunt for Iron Man Black dicine, the official Trinity version spec docunt, previously top-secret.
Wang Ye scrutinized it and marveled at the Trinity-level Black dicine’s powers! It could turn a person’s body into steel and defy the law of conservation of mass by adding density from thin air! This would make the superpower user slower and heavier over ti, with a hardness possibly surpassing steel.
"Any more questions?" Philip asked.
At that mont, Wang Ye raised his hand.
"Go ahead, I rember you; you are Wang Ye, right? How are your injuries?" Price said with a smile.
"First, thank you for helping in the last mission; I am much better now. My question is... this operation is against international law, and the scale is quite large. What if we attract Wei Tianyang’s attention?" Wang Ye asked.
After he spoke, both Price and Philip fell silent.
