Abyss Solo

Chapter 109: 066 Counterattack Begins!_2

“`

“Okay, boss, but…”

“Speak.”

“They’re in a car chase!”

The young man shouted excitedly, enlarging a projection screen as much as possible. In the center of the screen, it locked onto a luxurious and extravagantly shaped hovercar.

“It’s that beast vehicle given to Yang Ming by the Second Prince, now speeding directly toward the palace at thirty percent over the speed limit! Yang Ming and the Second Prince are in the car! Boss, they’re heading straight to the palace!”

...

“Oh,” Lulian’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Years of work experience told him that there was something wrong with this.

Whoosh!

The image on the projection screen suddenly vanished, leaving only an empty light blue screen.

Lulian frowned, “Who told you to turn it off?”

The young man hesitated, looking down at the data on the instrument before him, his gaze shifting from confusion to astonishment, then to shock.

“It wasn’t me, boss…it seems we’ve been…hacked?”

As soon as he finished speaking, explosive drumbeats suddenly emanated from all directions.

Each projection screen simultaneously turned a deep blue, as a pixel-style raccoon danced to the beat at the edge of the frame.

The intelligence officers in the room were dumbfounded.

Ping!

The porcelain cup in Lulian’s hand elegantly hit the ground.

“Boss! Our server setup is under attack!”

“Boss! The satellite information transmission channel is blocked! There’s only enough bandwidth left for quantum communication to barely maintain!”

“Our intrusion into Ilando City’s municipal system was cut off!”

“Damn it! How did they do it! The opposing team has been targeting us for a long time, there must be a hidden backdoor on our side, a physical backdoor!”

The entire villa descended into chaos.

And Lulian fully understood what it meant for their side to become blind at such a moment.

It meant!

The Royal Guards could very likely appear right in front of him at any second!

“Emergency evacuation!” Lulian shouted, “Quick! Quick! Move fast! Bring all the trucks over!”

…

In Lyu’s Thought Space.

The desk had turned into a DJ table, with lights flickering everywhere, raccoons shaking their hips and legs non-stop.

Lyu, dressed in a military uniform, black stockings, and a beret, had now added a pair of sunglasses to her image, bouncing rapidly behind the DJ table.

If her boss saw this scene…

He would most probably send her back to Intelligent Mechanic Dusk for a full mainframe inspection.

…

“I must be under your spell, Yang Ming.”

In the passenger seat of the ‘Beast Car,’ the Second Prince, Edwan, repeatedly adjusted his breathing.

He kept repeating this sentence, but his eyes were full of contemplation, the light in his eyes gradually growing from weak to blazing.

Yes, what could be worse than the current situation?

What if challenging the New Federation brought retaliation, what would that retaliation entail? Isn’t it just the current situation right in front of him?

The New Federation wanted to bury the royal family here, and he was part of that royal family.

That reason alone was enough!

As for whether the New Federation would seize the external assets of the Luofeng Empire…to hell with those assets, they could always be regained if lost!

Hmm, even though Yang Ming hadn’t managed to convince him with any of his words earlier, Edwan liked that particular speech from Yang Ming.

The universe is the Abyss.

Edwan even began to urge Yang Ming, “Drive faster, I want to get in front of them before they make a decision!”

Yang Ming floored the accelerator, the beast hovercar whizzing across the top of lanes of hovercars, skimming the ceiling of the express lanes at full speed.

The three burly men in the backseat almost hugged together.

“Lyu,” Yang Ming called out directly, “Report the status of Lulian’s team.”

Lyu didn’t show herself, speaking out directly, “Boss, the first wave of attacks has fully commenced, Lulian’s team is now blind. They’ve activated contingency protocols and have begun to evacuate the number one target hideout.”

“Share the hideout’s location with the nearest police station, make up a compelling reason for police action,” Yang Ming said, “Give them some air-to-ground strike signals, let Gudun Mah deploy warships to temporarily block the relevant airspace, create pressure on them.”

“Yes!”

Lyu responded softly.

Edwan looked at Yang Ming in disbelief, puzzled, “Your subordinates?”

“Hmm?” Yang Ming shrugged, “I have a team.”

A team that included a notoriously infamous old pirate.

Of course, this was deliberate on Yang Ming’s part.

He was demonstrating to Edwan, through practical action, that he was a valuable, powerful ally, not just a brute who only knew hand-to-hand combat.

However, this wasn’t enough to make things clear.

Yang Ming continued, “Lyu, clear the road ahead, issue a passage order to the garrison camp outside the palace.”

“Yes, boss.”

“Hey!” Edwan turned to glare at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming, on the other hand, glanced at the rearview mirror, “Your Highness, your three subordinates aren’t enemy spies, right?”

For a moment, Edwan didn’t know how to respond.

The following minutes unfolded with scenes that kept Edwan’s brows tightly furrowed.

The palace’s main avenue, usually bustling, was now deserted, with countless hovercars stopped at various intersections, watching as this beast vehicle roared through unobstructed.

The patrol drones on the expressway showed no reaction.

And the garrison troops, who were supposed to be conducting strict searches on them, stood by the roadside, saluting this beast car with the Empire’s military salute.

“How did you?” Edwan was at a loss for words.

“This is the power that will serve you next,” Yang Ming winked as the hovercar began to slow down, coming to a steady stop at the palace gate embedded in the mountain, designed like an Ancient Greek temple.

Two squads of guards quickly approached, and Edwan pushed open the car door.

“Ming, care to join me?”

“No, Your Highness,” Yang Ming smiled, “Let your three subordinates accompany you, don’t let them out of your sight. I still have my part of the plan to execute, I need to give the New Federation agents a lesson.”

Edwan slightly pursed his lips, “You really surprised me.”

“Now it’s your turn, Your Highness.”

Yang Ming nodded, and the three burly men in the backseat quickly got out of the car, gently closing the door for Yang Ming.

The beast vehicle, with a roaring engine, swiftly departed, while Edwan stood there for a moment, surrounded by an increasing number of guards.

In the distance, sirens began to wail.

Edwan sighed softly, looking up at the sky, his face, used to grinning cheekily, gradually turning solemn, his gaze becoming deep.

‘I have no choice, Father.’

‘Perhaps you were right, I will lead this country into the Abyss.’

‘Yet now, this country is already in the Abyss.’

“Make sure General Fremont ensures my way is clear,” Edwan turned calmly, “Ensure no one can stop me before I meet Father.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

A few minutes later.

The elevator behind the palace gate smoothly and rapidly ascended to the top of the cliff.

The beast hovercar sped toward the city’s edge, rushing toward the group of New Federation agents as if they were startled birds.
