89 Chapter 69: Laser Weapon
Yan Fei suddenly fell ill, which scared Lu Pingping—who was talking to him—out of her wits. She stood up and, in her panic, knocked over a water cup on the coffee table. The tea inside spilled out onto her body, soiling her designer work suit.
But Lu Pingping didn't care about her dirty clothes at all. She stepped forward, picked up Yan Fei from the ground, and rested his head in her arms, shouting loudly, "Fei, what's wrong with you? Don't scare , okay?"
Yan Fei lay in Lu Pingping's arms without any reaction to her shouting. His body kept twitching, and even the look in his eyes began to fade. When Lu Pingping saw this, she was terrified and imdiately called the two female bodyguards outside to help. These two female bodyguards were elite soldiers who had just retired, proficient in all kinds of dical treatnt and injury managent, but even with their experience, they couldn't figure out what was happening to Yan Fei and were completely at a loss.
Lu Pingping decisively picked up the phone to call for an ambulance, but then she noticed that Yan Fei was holding her hand, struggling to say, word by word, "Don't… call… an… ambulance… I… just… need… to… lie… down… and… I'll… be… okay…"
It turned out that at the sa ti when the Drone Avatar was dismbered by a white light in the distant sky, Yan Fei's own body, being closely connected to his Drone Avatar, was severely damaged. The imnse pain, as if his body was being torn apart, was unbearable for Yan Fei, and he nearly lost consciousness. However, Yan Fei was determined and finally endured the pain. It was only after so ti that he began to feel a bit better, and when he saw Lu Pingping about to call for an ambulance, he hurriedly stopped her. The mysterious connection between him and his Drone Avatar had inflicted a tearing injury on his spiritual soul. No one could treat it, and treatnt was impossible—it could only be slowly healed through his own recuperation.
To face the dangerous situation tonight, Yan Fei had arranged for security personnel in this building, so staying here with Lu Pingping still felt sowhat safe. But once they went out and got on an ambulance, without the protection of security personnel, the consequences would be unimaginable. Since Yan Fei had now lost combat power, he was completely unable to contend with the experts of the Oogawa Family and might be kidnapped by them once they went out. Thus, Yan Fei stopped Lu Pingping from calling for ergency help and decided to stay in the Company's Headquarters.
Offshore of Shanghai, the radar on the Red Dragon detected the Drone, ready to launch anti-ship missiles for an attack, when it found the Drone being dismbered by a mysterious white light in the distance and falling into the sea, which left the crew sowhat dumbfounded. The leader among the n in black dismissively said, "The weapon that just attacked is Japan's latest aircraft-mounted laser weapon, still in a secret testing phase. But even in the testing phase, isn't it effortless to deal with such a small Drone?"
The captain of the Red Dragon Submarine also ranked high in Japan's Self-Defense Forces and knew that the Oogawa Family had many connections with the higher-ups in the military, which was why the Red Dragon was dispatched to assist their smuggling into China's Shanghai. However, the Oogawa Family didn't seem to trust Red Dragon completely and had dispatched an experintal airplane equipped with a laser weapon to provide protection along the way. After all, their destination was China, and the Oogawa Family did this to ensure nothing would go wrong, yet they didn't expect to encounter the Drone masquerading as the US Army's Predator. They imdiately activated the laser weapon and shot it down.
Yan Fei had also been careless, focusing only on the Red Dragon Submarine in front of him and not expecting that an experintal plane equipped with a laser weapon was watching him afar. It was also because the experintal plane was far from the Drone and the laser weapon's attack range was extrely long that he subconsciously overlooked the threat from afar, leading to his Drone Avatar being completely destroyed by the enemy's laser weapon for the first ti, and his own body in distant Shanghai was implicated and severely injured, losing combat power.
The sonar on the Red Dragon Submarine appeared to be severely damaged from the outside, but it had not actually hard the core components, so the damage was not as severe as imagined. The sonar was quickly repaired under the work of the damage control personnel.
Therefore, the captain of the Red Dragon Submarine continued the mission of transporting personnel to Shanghai. The Red Dragon subrged and set off again towards Shanghai.
Under the sea, several large pieces of the Drone's wreckage sank to the seafloor, slightly swaying under the wash of the ocean currents, but showing no signs of autonomous movent, appearing as if it had completely lost life.
In the Shanghai Headquarters, with ti passing, Yan Fei's condition slowly improved, and his body began to recover. However, he was in trendous pain, lacking any strength and feeling so lethargic he wanted to sleep endlessly.
The Drone had been attacked before, and Xiao Kong, who was now dead, had shot down the Drone. But at that ti, although the Drone Body was severely damaged, it did not fall apart, and since the Drone's Level was not very high and its connection with the host was not very tight, Yan Fei only felt pain for a mont before quickly recovering.
This ti, however, the Drone Level had been Enhanced, and the connection with Yan Fei's body had deepened. Coupled with it being cut into pieces by the laser weapon, resulting in far more severe damage than the previous ti, Yan Fei's own body suffered such serious synchronous injury that even his spiritual soul was greatly hard.
As Yan Fei recovered a bit of his spirit, he tried to contact the Drone Avatar, but there was no response, as if the Drone Avatar didn't exist, and even the Universal Space could not be opened. By now, he had realized that his Drone was likely attacked by sothing like a laser weapon. Those two white beams that had severed the Drone's wings must have been from a laser weapon. The attack speed of the laser weapon was very fast, completing the dismbernt of the Drone in an instant, so fast that even the Quantum Radar on the Drone hadn't reacted.
Yan Fei began to reflect; it seed that the events in Africa had developed too smoothly recently, leading him to beco complacent and underestimate his enemies, not realizing the number of things in this world that could attack his Drone Avatar, especially when facing national Forces. No one could predict what sort of Trump Card these nations held.
The destruction of the Drone ant Yan Fei had lost control over the situation. However, he was not entirely without chances. He couldn't feel the Drone's presence or even access the Universal Space, but that didn't an the Drone was truly destroyed by the laser weapon. He still harbored a glimr of hope, hoping that at midnight, if the Drone Data refresh allowed it, he could establish contact again. It was now eleven-forty in the evening, and in twenty minutes, it would be clear.
Yan Fei felt weak all over and had completely lost his Combat power. He could not confirm whether the Red Dragon Submarine's mission was indeed to transport the Oogawa Family's Clansn to Shanghai, nor could he be sure whether the injured Red Dragon would continue towards Shanghai. Tonight was filled with uncertainty, and without the Drone Avatar, Yan Fei had lost control over everything. He then had Lu Pingping notify all the Security Personnel guarding the Dream Foods Factory to withdraw to Headquarters to enhance the security forces here.
Seeing Yan Fei's pained expression, Lu Pingping was very worried. She kept Yan Fei in her embrace, using her own warmth to help soothe his pain.
As Yan Fei lay in Lu Pingping's arms, feeling her body heat and heartbeat, for so reason, his mood gradually cald down. The situation he was facing was complicated, but it was not entirely without the power to fight back. His only hope was the Drone Avatar, and all he could do now was wait, wait for midnight in Shanghai to arrive.
The waiting ti seed to stretch on endlessly, crawling by slowly, yet never stopping its relentless march forward. 20 minutes finally passed, and the mont of midnight in Shanghai was upon them. Yan Fei closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart.
Just as it turned midnight in Shanghai, the wreckage of the drone at the bottom of the sea outside Shanghai suddenly emitted a soft white light. This white light gathered the scattered pieces on the seabed together and under the influence of a mysterious power, restored them to a complete drone state. Not only this, but all the drone's data were refreshed, regaining its powerful combat powers.
Far away at the Shanghai Headquarters, Yan Fei shuddered all over, once again feeling the presence of the Drone Avatar and Universal Space. That mysterious power also worked on him, rapidly healing his injuries. Although he still felt weak and listless, he believed it wouldn't be long before he was completely healed.
Feeling the Drone Avatar's presence once more, Yan Fei's eyes brimd with tears. He had never imagined how crucial the Drone Avatar would be to him. Lu Pingping, who was holding him, thought he was in pain again and held him tighter. Yan Fei, feeling slightly embarrassed, gently pushed Lu Pingping away and struggled to sit up, saying, "Pingping, I'm alright now, look, I can sit up by myself."
Lu Pingping was still worried about Yan Fei's wellbeing and asked, "What happened to you? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
Yan Fei replied, "It's nothing serious. I experienced what I did just now due to a very special reason, but rest assured, I'm fine. You have to believe , I wouldn't lie to you about this."
Lu Pingping didn't say more. Although she was worried about Yan Fei's health, she trusted him more. This was their understanding after all the years of friendship.
Yan Fei sat on the sofa in the office, slowly regaining his strength, though his main consciousness was attached to the Drone Avatar. After this laser weapon attack, he beca even more cautious in his actions and realized there were too many threats in this world capable of endangering it.
Yan Fei controlled the drone to rapidly rise to the sea surface and then hover one ter above it, activating the Quantum Radar to perform a maximum 500-kiloter range scan in the direction from which the white light ca. Indeed, he discovered a large and odd-looking airplane in the sky 480 kiloters to the east, equipped with a strange device below it. That must be the airplane that had attacked him with the laser weapon, and the odd device was indeed the laser weapon.
Although Yan Fei wanted to bring down that huge airplane, the enemy had a powerful weapon capable of threatening his safety. Moreover, he and Lu Pingping were currently facing the kidnapping crisis from the Oogawa Family. Yan Fei had to prioritize the safety of himself and Lu Pingping, so for now, he could only let go of the airplane that could launch a laser weapon.
So the drone dipped its nose and re-entered the sea, then used the Quantum Radar to perform a wide-range scan of the seabed. Within a 100-kiloter scanning radius, he quickly found the Red Dragon Submarine moving toward Shanghai, with only 70 kiloters left to the city area.
