Chapter 185 Arrival and Attack
Zhang Chulan carefully examined the "earphones" in his hand, his eyes filled with surprise.
"This is actually a magical artifact? That's amazing! Can this thing be mass-produced?" he couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Chulan's surprise was not unfounded. It was 2015, and smart products were not yet widespread. Tools capable of automatic translation like this would not be available for several more years.
“Not yet,” Xu Si explained casually, “but I heard that the Academy of Sciences is already researching the use of modern technology to make similar tools, and has made some progress. I estimate that the first generation of products will be available in a few years.”
After he finished speaking, Xu Si clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"After you go down, you can study these magical artifacts on your own. Now, I'll assign you some tasks."
Next, Xu Si began to assign tasks for tomorrow to each person.
……
A dedicated airport.
To ensure King Nathan's safety, they were greeted by a special plane.
At this time, not only were the North China region's NaDuTong Special Operations Team and its leader Xu Si present at the airport, but also Huang Boren, a director from the headquarters, was personally present. In addition, there were dozens of NaDuTong personnel on guard outside the airport.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a special plane slowly landed on the runway.
The cabin door opened, and King Nathan strode out of the cabin.
Zhang Chulan had seen Nasen Wang from afar once before during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, and today was their second meeting.
Although she was there to discuss cooperation, she was still wearing the same white clothes as before, followed closely by her three personal guards—Nathan Guards.
As with the submitted materials, the three individuals are Elijah, Alfonso, and Mochizuki Satoru.
As Nathan descended the gangway, Huang Boren immediately greeted him with a warm smile.
He bowed slightly, his tone respectful yet warm: "Welcome, King Nathan. You must be tired from your journey."
Nathan nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Director Huang, you're too kind. I've come here today to further our cooperation."
Huang Boren responded with a smile, "Of course, we at Na Du Tong will definitely cooperate fully. Please come with me, the car is ready."
Nathan Wang said nothing and followed Huang Boren toward the black bulletproof car parked in the center of the airport.
This was a limousine. In addition to King Nathan and Elijah, Huang Boren and Wang Ye also got in, while the others got into the two escort vehicles, one in front and one behind.
Xu Si coldly surveyed the surroundings, then waved his hand, and the convoy officially set off.
The convoy slowly drove out of the airport and headed towards the headquarters of Nadutong. The roads along the way had been cleared in advance, with only a few Nadutong vehicles leading the way.
Just as the convoy was halfway there, Wang Ye, who had been lazily resting his chin on the back of his hand, suddenly sighed.
"I knew it wouldn't be that easy."
Immediately afterwards, under Huang Boren's astonished gaze, he circulated his Qi, and the Feng Hou Qi Men technique was activated rapidly, opening an invisible door next to the car.
A fireball hurtled toward the car where King Nathan was at incredible speed!
However, just as the fireball was about to reach the car, it suddenly disappeared and then reappeared in an open area in the distance.
The well-informed Huang Boren immediately recognized this as one of the Eight Gates of Teleportation, a technique used by sorcerers, and that the fireball had just been moved to the open ground by Wang Ye's methods.
With a loud "boom," the open space beside the road shook as the fireball exploded.
Immediately afterwards, several masked figures rushed out from both sides of the road, their target being King Nathan's vehicle.
"Enemy attack!" Xu Si's voice quickly spread throughout the convoy via the communicator.
Everyone immediately launched a counterattack, quickly getting out of the car. Except for Nathan, Huang Boren, and Wang Ye, who remained where they were, everyone else rushed towards the attackers.
"There are quite a few of them, at least twenty!" Xu Si cursed into the communicator while directing his team to counterattack. "These superhumans are such a hassle. They don't even need to bring weapons. It's so easy for twenty-odd of them to hide!"
The attacks by superhumans are far more covert than those by normal terrorists. Terrorists also have to carry weapons and ammunition, and some of the powerful weapons are simply not available in the country, so terrorists can't even bring them!
But it's much easier for the superhumans; they can just bring someone with them and come directly. They themselves are the most dangerous weapons!
Just then, several more attackers dressed in black combat suits sprang out from the shadows.
Armed with short knives, they moved with ghostly speed, rushing straight for King Nathan's carriage.
Clearly, they had anticipated that Nathan's forces would be insufficient, and that they would launch an attack on King Nathan after the guards were distracted.
Mochizuki Satoru snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he went to meet him.
His swordsmanship was incredibly sharp, each strike hitting the enemy's vital points with precision. Within seconds, three attackers had fallen to the ground.
However, the attackers' offensive did not weaken.
A sniper on a distant high-rise building had already aimed at Nathan Wang, pulled the trigger, and the bullet whistled out, heading straight for her head.
At the critical moment, Wang Ye once again used the Eight Gates Transport Technique, instantly transporting the bullet to a distant location.
"You're asking for death!" A ruthless glint flashed in Elijah's eyes. He quickly drew a revolver from his waist, aimed at the sniper on the high-rise building, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
Under normal circumstances, the effective range of a revolver is insufficient to hit a sniper at a distance, but Elijah's alchemy can control the trajectory of the bullet to some extent.
The bullet struck the sniper precisely in the head, killing him instantly.
The battle lasted less than five minutes before the attackers' offensive gradually weakened.
The Na Du Tong members, operating on home turf, quickly suppressed the attackers with their coordinated efforts. The remaining attackers, seeing the situation was dire, attempted to retreat but were intercepted and captured on the spot by arriving reinforcements.
"Clean up the scene and make sure no one escapes!" After giving the order, Xu Si quickly walked to Nathan Wang's car and asked with concern, "Chairman Huang, Nathan Wang, are you alright?"
Huang Boren, standing to the side, said apologetically, "King Nathan, I am truly sorry to have startled you. We will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."
King Nathan remained calm and nodded lightly: "I'm fine, and I should thank you for your protection."
After calming Queen Nathan down, Xu Si took Huang Boren aside and said with a grave expression, "Chairman Huang, this attack was clearly premeditated. The other side knew our route perfectly well. In my opinion, there might be a problem within our ranks."
Huang Boren narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with coldness: "That's normal. With so many people in Nadutong, it's not surprising that there are one or two moles. It seems that there are more people who don't want this cooperation to be successful than I thought."
"Let's leave here first. We can discuss the rest at headquarters."
