I'm Really Going to Become an Immortal Chapter 222 - 177 Stick, Lighthouse: Huh? Huh???

The mont the laser touched the sea surface, it seed as if ti had frozen. The calmness of the dark undercurrents within the ocean was shattered instantly.

Wherever the laser traveled, the seawater was vaporized instantly, erupting into dazzling light and billowing steam.

Two cavities were pierced through the profound seawater.

Inside the cavities, there was only the laser, and the nearby seawater bubbled intensely due to constant evaporation.

The swiftly evaporating steam expanded instantly, forming explosive waves around the two beams of laser, pushing the seawater aside.

Chen Yun’s thermal sight brought with it a surge of strong audiovisual effects.

Normally, the vast amount of seawater should have easily extinguished the laser.

But before the end of his own twenty seconds of duration, Chen Yun could continuously and powerfully emit his thermal sight.

The next mont.

These two high-energy lasers instantly struck the face of the unmanned underwater drone.

The extrely agile device couldn’t react in ti.

The propagation of the laser through water would quickly weaken because water absorbs light energy, especially lasers from visible to near-infrared spectrum. Thus, even with extrely high temperatures, the energy of the laser would greatly reduce before reaching the drone.

However, this was under the normal circumstance where laser weapons were not expected to last for long periods.

Chen Yun’s thermal sight could maintain full power for a whole twenty seconds.

After just five seconds.

The unmanned submarine’s exterior shell and interior structure were lted, with the lasers punching through them.

And the lasers did not lose montum.

They continued far beyond before finally dissipating.

In the next mont, Chen Yun controlled his thermal sight to move laterally for a distance, and the two lines of thermal sight sliced the unmanned underwater drone into several pieces like the sharpest knives.

Then, he retracted his thermal sight.

But the turbulence and noise stirred by his thermal sight took a long ti to calm down.

Sensing that the pieces of the destroyed unmanned underwater detector had instantly lost power and fallen to the seabed, Chen Yun nodded in satisfaction.

He then quickly left the area.

The wind is high, ti to fly!

This place is no longer safe!

································

In Korea’s platform at Su Shi Reef.

This place was not deserted.

Instead, there were three ard personnel deployed by Korea, along with two Korean technicians responsible for operating various equipnt on the offshore platform.

Additionally, there was an inspector from Lighthouse Country supervising their every move.

And at this mont inside the control room.

A regular day-shift Korean technician was frowning at the control panel in front of him.

"Seba, what happened to the unmanned underwater drone we just deployed? Why did the signal disappear?"

Muttering, the technician was sowhat puzzled.

The platform’s large sonar had detected unusual noises from the west, and since the sounds were too chaotic to clearly examine, they had deployed an unmanned underwater drone there.

And then...

There was no "then."

Not long after the unmanned underwater drone was sent out, it completely lost contact.

Fortunately.

Before the signal of the unmanned underwater drone disappeared, it sent back one last report.

Pondering, he opened the report sent by the unmanned underwater drone, checking the final sonar detection and surveillance reports before its destruction.

The sonar report showed a cylindrical object about two ters in size, but because of the intense noise, it was impossible to determine more precise shape and size particulars of the object.

However, it would only be smaller than the two-ter cylinder.

This made the technician raise his eyebrows in confusion—what kind of two-ter cylindrical object could make such a huge noise?

He had deployed the unmanned underwater drone because the sonar detector on the offshore platform had detected an extrely loud noise.

One might think it was an attack from Hua Country.

Thinking.

The technician opened the surveillance report from the unmanned underwater drone.

The drone had several caras on all its sides.

Although it was impossible to capture footage from afar underwater, the water quality nearby wasn’t too poor, so visibility within fifty ters was still decent.

But this last report from the unmanned underwater drone made the technician pause.

Not a single cara on the front survived, each showing a normal image one second and then turning red before going to a blank screen the next.

This was obviously due to so unknown attack.

Otherwise, ordinary marine life couldn’t instantly destroy an unmanned underwater drone made of special material.

However, before the caras went dark, the side caras were able to intelligently rotate their angles to capture the full scope of the attack on the unmanned underwater drone.

It was two red lasers coming from a distance.

Heating up countless seawater to boiling and then shooting straight toward them.

The lasers pierced the unmanned underwater drone from front to back.

If it weren’t for the separate control systems on either side of the unmanned underwater drone, even its side caras might not have managed to send back the footage.

And this footage turned out to be the last image that the side caras of the unmanned underwater drone could capture.

The next mont.

The twin lasers began to move horizontally and vertically, slicing the entire unmanned underwater drone as if a hot knife through butter.

Instantly, the side caras also went dark.

Thus, this was all the information sent back by the unmanned underwater drone before it was destroyed.

After witnessing all this, the technician couldn’t help but stand there stunned.

"Ah?"

"Ah??"

"Ah???"

He couldn’t help but stare dumbfounded at the video, his confusion growing louder with each mont.

What was that thing?

Who could tell him what the sonar data and surveillance footage transmitted back by the unmanned submarine detector ant?

That was a laser coming from the west aid right at their territory disputed with Hua Country!

Could it be that Hua Country had really attacked?

And brought with them a set of highly sophisticated underwater laser weapons?

Was this not so science fiction film?

Despite being utterly baffled and shocked,

the data transmitted by the unmanned submarine detector before it was destroyed was undeniable; it had truly been destroyed by a high-energy underwater laser emitted from a two-ter-long cylinder.

At this,

the technician felt an intense fear.

Never mind how absurd the weapon was.

What was critical was that the destroyed unmanned submarine detector was not far from here.

The enemy possessing a terrifying weapon was not necessarily frightening.

But the enemy with terrifying weapons appearing right in your face was truly terrifying.

It was enough to make one unable to sleep peacefully.

rely the thought of a laser potentially bursting out any mont and lting through the entire offshore platform he was on

made him shudder with fear.

If the laser accidentally hit him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to cry out before he was gone.

The more the technician thought about it, the more frightened he beca.

He quickly opened the door to the control room and left the central location of the offshore platform to avoid getting caught in the disaster.

But before he left,

he sent the observed data to Korea and Lighthouse Country’s headquarters.

If he did not report this information promptly, even if he lived to return to his holand, life would be torturous.

So, overcoming his fear, he sent out the ssage before he left the control room.

Given the strategic significance of this disputed area, any sudden ergency ssage would draw a lot of attention.

Especially such ssages that had evidence with them, believable yet utterly absurd.

This made Korea and Lighthouse Country bewildered upon receiving the information.

"Ah????"

"Is today April Fool’s Day?"

"Damn it! They really have Gundams!!"

"What the fu*k!"

Various bewildered phrases spread among the high-ranking officials in both countries.

This ridiculous ssage ant a lot.

After repeatedly confirming and contacting Su Shi Reef, they established the truth of the ssage.

Once confird, they were baffled.

Privately inquiring with Hua Country brought back diplomatic responses as evasive as playing Tai Chi, which puzzled them further.

The high-level officials of both countries hurriedly called for an ergency eting with their think tanks.

Because the situation was extrely urgent.

In a discussion, they realized-

This ssage not only ant that their enemy, Hua Country, possessed a weapon so absurd they still couldn’t believe it.

It also likely ant that Hua Country would change its forrly conservative style in the upcoming series of international talks? Why else would they bring such a formidable weapon to Su Shi Reef for a test fire?

Clearly, it was a signal for everyone to temporarily back down a bit, or else they would showcase their firepower.

This definitely was because their recent strategies had been too aggressive, pushing the other side to retaliate!

Thus, they urgently began discussing a series of response policies.

First, Su Shi Reef, where the laser was tested, must be returned to the other side!

This place had never historically belonged to them.

How could they keep occupying soone else’s territory?

Second, many policies openly targeting the other side were urgently revised during this eting.

Such matters as trade, key technology blockades, sanctions against certain companies, territorial disputes—everything had to be moved underground, no longer blatantly flaunted.

It wasn’t to say they wouldn’t target them anymore, but at least not so openly for now, not to provoke the other side into flaunting their formidable weapon around the world.

Rember, the major country also had world-class nuclear submarine technology; sending a two-ter-long cylinder anywhere in international waters was a trivial task for them.

And this rather inconspicuous device

could unleash a terrifying power.

A small but mighty underwater laser.

This signified that it was a strategic-level weapon.

If it were to strike an aircraft carrier a few tis, the carrier would definitely sink.

Ultimately, they hastily drafted a statent for an urgent press conference the next day: strongly urging Hua Country to shoulder its responsibilities as a major country and maintain global peace and stability.

Although they did not specify the incident.

They thought that the official stance of Hua Country would understand the implicit relenting ssage from the news.

Of course,

The high-level officials of the two countries never considered that this incident had nothing to do with Hua Country’s official stance, but was the act of a superhuman capable of shooting lasers with their eyes.

After all, such an event was even more unbelievable than Hua Country inventing a high-energy underwater laser.

So...

Busy preparing a series of asures, they had no idea that all this frantic readiness was just because of one person.
