Super Invincible Battleship

Chapter 280: Chapter 158: Mysterious Disappearance

Yan Fei didn’t know the true strength of the US forces in this area, so he didn’t stir up any trouble here. The drone’s forward speed was very fast, and in just over half an hour, the drone had stealthily moved away from the Hormuz Strait and entered the Arabian Sea by an underwater route. However, upon entering the Arabian Sea, the drone changed its course at the bottom of the sea and moved away from the three aircraft carrier battle groups that the US Forces had patrolling the outer perimeter of the Arabian Sea.

Once it had moved away from the US Forces’ aircraft carriers and entered a safe zone, the drone surfaced and ascended into the sky, proceeding at full speed towards the southeast in a sea-skimming flight mode. After reaching Sri Lanka, it turned to the northeast. The drone’s maximum flight speed reached three times the speed of sound, which meant it could cover a maximum distance of 3,672 kilometers in an hour. Thus, just over an hour later, the drone was once again over the Malaysian Peninsula. Carefully following the route it had taken before, the drone crossed the Kra Isthmus and entered the Gulf of Thailand.

By that time, due to the difference in time zones, the sky over the Gulf of Thailand was already brightly lit. However, since the drone had already crossed the densely populated Malaysian Peninsula and was flying at a very low altitude, no one noticed its existence. The drone continued moving eastward and soon entered the South China Sea.

Upon entering the South China Sea, the drone’s flight path diverged from the route it had taken on the way there. It didn’t fly northeast back to Shanghai but continued due east instead. The drone passed through the Sulu Sea, then entered the Philippines Sulu Archipelago, passed to the north of Mindanao through the Bohol Strait, and directly entered the Pacific Ocean, continuing to fly east.

The purpose of the drone’s mission this time was not to return to Shanghai immediately but to head to the United States of America. Among the conspirators in the string of plots against Yan Fei’s Dream Technology were the Assassin Sect, the Yang Family of Beijing, and Green Spruce Capital from the USA. Other than Huo Shan, Yan Fei had eradicated the Assassin Sect completely; The Yang Family of Beijing had lost Yang Wanlin, and had their true nature exposed, which meant Yan Fei would seek revenge against Yang Liu sooner or later; thus only Green Spruce Capital remained as Yan Fei’s enemy.

Zeppelin, the direct responsible party from Green Spruce Capital who devised the plan against Yan Fei, had already been killed at the Assassin Sect’s headquarters by the Bearded Man, but that didn’t mean the grudge between Yan Fei and Green Spruce Capital was settled. He would still seek trouble with the board of directors at Green Spruce Capital.

Zeppelin was merely an executor of the orders from Green Spruce Capital’s board of directors. Whether it was the joint efforts of international companies to suppress Dream Technology’s weight loss cookies from entering the international market or the alliance with the Assassin Sect and Yang Family to usurp Yan Fei’s Dream Technology, the true instigators behind these actions were the members of Green Spruce Capital’s board of directors. Without the various resolutions and authorizations from Green Spruce Capital’s board, Zeppelin wouldn’t have taken any actions against Yan Fei on his own. If Yan Fei wouldn’t let even the television station that broadcast the video of Liu Tingting’s murder off the hook, how could he possibly spare the members of Green Spruce Capital’s board?

It was for these reasons that Yan Fei sent the drone rushing toward the USA, to teach the board members of Green Spruce Capital a profound lesson. In addition, Yan Fei wanted to make an example of them – this time, he would not put out a bounty task on the Dark Web but directly utilize the drone to strike at the members of Green Spruce Capital’s board of directors. On the surface, the attack on Green Spruce Capital could not be traced back to any suspects, but anyone with the right information, who connected the dots from several recent incidents in different places, would immediately tie these events to Yan Fei.

Of course, faced with such speculations, Yan Fei would certainly deny them. Although everyone lacked evidence, they would still assume it was Yan Fei’s doing. This way, all those who had their sights set on Yan Fei would have to be especially cautious since they realized that Yan Fei was impulsive. Offending him could lead to major troubles; they could even lose their lives. Therefore, when dealing with Yan Fei, they would think twice, and without absolute certainty, they wouldn’t dare to rashly make a move. With this, Yan Fei’s purpose would be achieved.

Yan Fei had previously used the Auxiliary Brain to search for a lot of data on the internet and discovered that Green Spruce Capital’s headquarters was located on the West Coast of the USA in the San Francisco Bay area of Oakland City, where there was a farm called Bina Manor, where Green Spruce Capital’s board would convene. Bina Manor was the target of Yan Fei’s operation this time. That’s why when leaving the Middle East, he chose the Persian Gulf—Arabian Sea—Indian Ocean—Pacific Ocean route instead of the Mediterranean Sea—Atlantic Ocean route.

Upon entering the vast Pacific Ocean, the drone felt a sudden sense of breadth, which gave an impression of the vastness of heaven and earth and one’s own insignificance. However, such a broad sea area was ideal for the drone’s free flight. As a result, Yan Fei pushed the drone to its maximum speed, rapidly advancing towards the US West Coast.

The drone passed Guam, flew over Wake Island, passed Hawaii, and raced across the Pacific Ocean. After three hours, Yan Fei’s drone had raced more than ten thousand kilometers, almost crossing the entire Pacific Ocean. It was unfortunate, however, that by this time, the drone’s energy points were depleted from excessive consumption and could no longer sustain flight. But it was now not far from the US West Coast, being less than five hundred kilometers away.

Before the energy points were exhausted, Yan Fei had already detected with the Quantum Radar an uninhabited island ahead, and as the drone landed on the small uninhabited island, its energy points were nearly depleted, which couldn’t even allow it to stay submerged under the sea surface. Consequently, Yan Fei had no choice but to let the drone rest on the uninhabited island. Fortunately, the island was deserted, with no signs of human activity, making it very safe for the drone to stop there.
