But before the system could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook.
This was a significant earthquake, and even though Japan's buildings are generally well-resistant to earthquakes, many of them would certainly have collapsed in this earthquake.
The epicenter was located east of Japan, in the direction of the Japan Trench. If the Himalayas are the roof of the world, then the Mariana Trench and the Japan Trench, which connect to form the deepest part of the world, is the lowest point in the Earth's crust. The nearly 10,000-meter-deep abyss leads directly to the mantle layer, which is also the weakest point in the Earth's crust.
The resurgence of the White King's remains not only affected the eruption of the Japanese volcanic cluster, but also impacted the weakest point in the Earth's crust...
"An earthquake has occurred in the Japan Trench, and a tsunami shock wave is forming. This tsunami will definitely be more powerful than the one caused by the nuclear bomb dropped by Genjiro and his men last time..."
Su Enxi kept sending text messages to Lu Mingfei, all of which were the latest news from her monitoring of the situation in Japan.
With American spy satellites flying everywhere, this information also benefited her, allowing her to more easily obtain information about the overall situation in Japan.
In addition to the information about the tsunami, Su Enxi sent another message that she had anticipated: "This earthquake was very powerful and will affect the pressure stability of the Japanese volcanic group. Mount Fuji is about to erupt."
The good news is that the prematurely triggered eruption of Mount Fuji will definitely reduce its power somewhat…
She was still concerned about Japan's economic problems; after all, making money was her job. Japan was in dire straits, and if it could weather the storm with the White King, she would probably be overjoyed.
No matter how swiftly those international speculative investors react, they can't possibly swing their sickle faster than she had laid out her plans in advance.
The system glanced at the information and didn't feel it was that dangerous. It was just an earthquake, tsunami, and volcanic eruption; it wouldn't affect Lu Mingfei much.
It continued looking at Sakurai Kogure and said, "The Snake-Headed Eight Families want the White King dead because they have a grudge against him. Kassel College wants the White King dead because their principal and the secret society behind him both aim to slay the dragon."
Our numbers are indeed not a significant force. If Kassel College and the Snake Clan are completely wiped out, then our numbers will likely be insufficient to even fill their teeth.
If they succeed, all will be well; but if they fail at the last hurdle, the world will tremble at the White King's roar, and no one will escape unscathed.
This is what worries me. The King cannot sit idly by and watch these two powerful forces kill the White King he has worked so hard to revive. He must have come up with a way to restrain them.
"It would be best if we could just watch them kill the White King and then turn the tables on the King's general. But what if, under the King's general's scheme, we're just one straw that breaks the camel's back?"
Lu Mingfei slayed the dragon before out of passion, but now he's slaying it to truly protect his assets.
The system colluded with Su Enxi, taking advantage of the once-in-a-century opportunity of the White King's revival to make a fortune in Japan. If Japan can weather this storm, Lu Mingfei, who is riding on Su Enxi's funds, will take off from there.
The premise is that Japan can get through, but Su Enxi firmly believes that with Lu Mingfei around, she will definitely make a fortune from this ticket!
As for Japan not being able to weather this storm? Then they'll have to slay the dragon even more. They can't expect the White King to only wreak havoc on Japan after his resurrection, can they?
Kogure Sakurai nodded: "I understand."
It would be a real shame if the White King hadn't been killed by the final blow.
The pressure accumulated inside Mount Fuji volcano finally gave way to the shockwaves from the earthquake, and a towering column of fire shot up from the ground, its eruption visible even from as far away as Tokyo.
Sakurai Akira, Sakurai Kogure, Chu Zihang, and Xia Mi quickly led their team to lie in ambush near the Red Well, while the system boarded a helicopter to pick up Su Enxi and the other two girls.
The three women inside the house were relatively relaxed. Su Enxi's scythe, which she had already laid out, had begun to turn. She was busy relaying the latest news to Lu Mingfei.
The helicopter landed on the rooftop, and the system came down from the roof and opened the room. Seeing that the three women showed almost no panic on their faces, it was somewhat surprised: "You guys are really calm."
When Jiu De Mai saw Lu Mingfei arrive, she stood up and stretched: "What can we do? Should we stop the White King's resurrection, or uncover the mastermind behind this? If we had that ability, would we still be sitting here?"
Today she was wearing a black, form-fitting combat suit, which showed off her beautiful and perfect figure.
Unfortunately, it was the system standing in front of her today. If it were Lu Mingfei, he might have been tempted to steal a few glances. But beauty has no effect on the system; it wouldn't even faze the system in the slightest.
Su Enxi didn't close her laptop hastily; she was still frantically typing on the keyboard while asking, "Shall we go to Hongjing to watch the game now?"
"Hmm, I just don't know how weak the White King is right now, or what other tricks the King General has up his sleeve."
"The king has already played a card as his second move. Come and take a look."
Su Enxi zoomed in on the image on the computer and showed it to Lu Mingfei. "This is a satellite image of the sea surface. Behind the tsunami waves, there is a group of zombies guarding the area. They must have come from other fragments of Takamagahara. The ancient city that was bombed by the nuclear bomb in the Japan Trench was not the entire Takamagahara."
The system looked at the image and asked, "Why are they all swimming in the same direction?"
“They’re all swimming towards Tokyo,” Su Enxi said. “If I’m not mistaken, they’re probably here on a pilgrimage to the White King.”
“That makes sense…” the system analyzed and said, “There are a lot of them, and the area is very large. The Snake Clan and Kassel College will definitely have to send some people to intercept them on the sea, otherwise it will be even more difficult to deal with them if they land in Tokyo.”
These thousands of bloodthirsty zombies, on their way to Tokyo Bay for their pilgrimage, could easily slaughter their way through, leaving probably not even a chicken behind.
“With the Kassel College Equipment Department there, they don’t lack bombs and weapons. I estimate they’ll process a batch at sea and then send people to wait on shore…” Su Enxi analyzed the battle plan of the Snake Clan and Kassel College. “They’ll need to send at least a third of their manpower there, and they’ll have to bring along a few heavyweights, otherwise ordinary hybrids probably won’t be able to handle this…”
Su Enxi zoomed in on the image again, highlighting the Bone Dragon Corpse Guardian's figure. Its massive body was still conspicuous amidst the surging tide of snake-tailed, human-bodied corpse guards.
It's not hard to guess that this is a corpse guardian created by the Eight Ancient Serpents using real dragon blood. With the effects of the corpse guardian alchemy, even without the support of dragon blood and flesh, and unable to unleash powerful incantations, this enormous dragon-shaped corpse guardian, simply by charging around, would probably be too much for most hybrids to handle.
This is a high-damage, high-attack elite monster. If it lands with a large army of corpse guards, without skilled fighters to suppress it, it's unknown how many ordinary hybrids would have to die to fill this hole.
Not to mention that even the lives of ordinary hybrids might not be enough to hold them back. If the dragon-shaped corpse guards led the charge and broke through the fence, it would truly be like thousands of pigs rampaging through Tokyo...
Angers? Genjiro? Uesugi Kotetsu?
If the system deems there are no other experts, then it's time for Genjiro.
The king will definitely appear at the Red Well in the end. Uesugi is guarding Genjiro, Genjiro, and Angers. I feel that Angers is better? In the Red Well, Angers plays a bigger role than Genjiro.
If Genjiro goes, most of the Snake Clan members will be assigned to guard the corpses, leaving mainly the people from Kassel College to guard the Red Well.
Even if you cobble things together, you still have two thousand men. How is the king going to fight them?
While the system was analyzing the situation, Su Enxi spoke up again: "Hmm, a lot of Dead Servants have appeared in Tokyo and are running around everywhere. Angers and the others will have to send another batch of people back to deal with them. It's highly likely that all the people from the Snake Clan have left."
Deadpool is roaming around Tokyo? Where did so many of these things come from?
The system's first thought was Deadpool from Genji Heavy Industries.
However, Genjiro confirmed Erii's physical lineage. Under the new treatment method, provided that her lineage did not get out of control, she could use some Words of Power and had sufficient self-protection ability.
So Genjiro ordered the destruction of the Deadpools in the lab... Was the order ultimately intercepted? It seems Genjiro didn't even see the final outcome...
After analyzing the situation, the system immediately and firmly declared, "Let's go to the Red Well first!"
Wang Jiang's methods are like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another, without stopping. If he comes up with a few more of these methods to restrain people, let alone the Snake Clan and Kassel College, even if we include him who just joined the game, we won't have enough manpower to allocate!
However, Kassel College and Lu Mingfei have different goals. Kassel College's dragon-slaying is ostensibly aimed at protecting humanity, so in the event of the appearance of Corpse Guardians and Dead Servants, it will prioritize protecting humanity and Tokyo.
Lu Mingfei didn't have so many worries. As long as Japan didn't sink, the death of a few more Japanese people wouldn't be a big deal to him.
So many people have already died; even if more die, it won't have a profound impact on the Japanese economy.
"Does the fact that the king is using so many schemes and tricks to constantly scatter the manpower of the Snake Clan and Kassel College mean that he doesn't actually have that much power at his disposal?"
Su Enxi closed her laptop and followed Lu Mingfei out of the room, saying as they walked, "Even the resurrected White King doesn't have the power to deal with these people? Isn't that good news?"
"Of course it's good news."
The four of them arrived at the rooftop. After Ling boarded the helicopter, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Su Enxi, "Is this the helicopter you originally arranged?"
Su Enxi glanced at the helicopter and nodded: "Yes, this is the helicopter I originally arranged."
"Lu Mingfei, why did you have Su Enxi arrange for someone to replace the person who originally sent Erii to Yuan Zhisheng?" Zero quickly said, "If there's a problem here, it's true that you changed the personnel, but you didn't change the plane!"
Upon hearing what the girl with no connections said, the remaining three people immediately realized what was going on!
Su Enxi immediately took out her phone and called the pilot who had seen Erii off at the airport.
The call went through smoothly, and she immediately asked, "Has Erii arrived at the airport?"
The pilot, who was waiting, replied, "Boss, not yet!"
Su Enxi immediately hung up the phone and dialed the helicopter pilot who had delivered Erii, but no one answered for a long time...
Bad thing!
Tokyo has a total of four airports: three civilian airports, namely Narita, Haneda, and Chofu, and one military airport, Yokota Air Base.
Haneda Airport is located in downtown Tokyo, and that place was already completely surrounded. Every plane inside was requisitioned to take people out of Tokyo.
Yuan Zhisheng chose Narita International Airport, which is a bit far from downtown Tokyo. The forced requisition situation is not that serious. Since they had already gone to Narita International Airport, they could have driven a little further north to get away from Mount Fuji and Tokyo Bay.
Even without driving, a helicopter flight of several tens of kilometers would take quite a while. But at the normal flight speed of a helicopter, Erii should have arrived at Narita International Airport by now...
The system was also trying to call Erii, but just like the helicopter pilot, no one answered...
"What is the purpose of this Erii garment...?" Mai Shude asked Lu Mingfei.
The system pondered for a moment and said, "I'm thinking about something. Erii isn't a real three-year-old child. She has a certain degree of self-awareness. Who can force her?"
Erii is someone who should never have lost contact.
Although she is a bit silly, you can't judge this little monster by her intelligence alone. If she is unwilling, once the trial begins, who can force her to do something she doesn't want to do?
The system and Lu Mingfei also had to carefully cater to this little tyrant...
Intercepting a helicopter? Erii can't even get past that hurdle. Even if the helicopter is blown up and the pilot dies, Erii has a strong physique, so she'll probably be fine.
The road to Narita International Airport isn't all deep forests where you could completely lose contact...
"If the White King is at the Red Well, the King General will definitely be there too. We'll find out when we get there!" Su Enxi said to the driver, "Drive faster!"
"Roger that!"
The helicopter pilot immediately increased speed and rushed towards the towering pillar of fire.
However, Su Enxi's helicopter pilot was not completely out of contact. A few minutes later, an unfamiliar phone number called Su Enxi's mobile phone.
When Su Enxi answered the call from Japan, a breathless voice on the other end immediately exclaimed in a panic, "President Su! That Ms. Erii has gone out of control! She slashed the helicopter!"
Chapter 158 The Chaos at the Red Well
The helicopter pilot flew the plane to Narita Airport as usual. Although the wind and rain were quite strong, ace pilots are better able to handle these tricky situations.
So after passing through halfway and leaving Tokyo city, everything was normal, and the plane was flying steadily... The pilot thought that was the end of it, but then the helicopter suddenly suffered a severe blow and disintegrated in mid-air.
It wasn't caused by missiles or gunfire. When the pilot sensed something was wrong, he could tell that the noise came from behind him. He only glanced back at Erii, who had stood up... and then he was stunned. The wreckage of the helicopter pinned him down, but fortunately, he wasn't killed instantly.
The helicopter pilot wasn't a combat hybrid with a powerful physique, but it would still take him some time to escape and contact Su Enxi...
After emerging from the wreckage, the pilot, observing the smooth and clean cut, deduced that Erii had lost control and used a spell to slice the helicopter in mid-air.
"Where did your plane crash?" Su Enxi quickly asked her subordinate for relevant information.
"On the way to Narita Airport..."
While listening to the phone call, Su Enxi mentally calculated the information and then looked up at Lu Mingfei and said, "If we're lucky, Erii should arrive at Red Well at the same time as us. Even if she's faster than us, it won't be by much... But why did Erii suddenly erupt and destroy the helicopter?"
"Who knows..." The system didn't know why Erii would suddenly activate her Word of Power and cut the helicopter she was riding in in half.
"Was there anything unusual on the plane at the time?" Su Enxi continued to ask the helicopter pilot.
"Let me think about it." The driver fell into deep thought.
