Chapter 17: The Roman Raiders (Part 1)

  "Damn it!" The commander of the Whisker Squad cursed and threw a cigar to Gu Xiechen, who was covered in wounds.

  Puffing on his cigar, Gu Xie Chen said vaguely while spitting out clouds of smoke: "Jieshi, the Holy Unicorn has mobilized a Jieshi. My brothers and I have no way to resist."

  "I know!" The bearded captain stood up and walked to Gu Xiechen's side, giving him a forceful pat on the shoulder. "Take a good rest for a few days, don't think too much about it. Mission failure is a normal thing, being a mercenary means getting used to these things."

  Taking a deep breath, the commander of the Whisker Squad sneered: "In the two days before you returned, I had already received intelligence. The Sacred Unicorn actually has a Realm Knight, and they even sent him to take revenge on us? This matter has been reported to the Military Department and the Special Management Committee of the Federal Parliament, this lawsuit is going to be a big one!"

  Gu Xiadun puffed on the cigar until it was almost gone, then rubbed his hands together to crush the butt into powder. Frowning, Gu Xiadun said in a cold voice: "It's not just me who escaped."

  The bearded team leader nodded, and with a hint of schadenfreude, he said: "Another important member of the Asian Dao Alliance has escaped, and since they failed to silence him, they can take responsibility for this black pot themselves! The Asian Dao Alliance has already begun investigating the Sacred Unicorn's guilt over this matter. However, since they have obtained a Jieshi, who possesses legal immunity...

  He shrugged his shoulders and the curly-haired team leader looked at Gu Xiechen with a sigh, saying: "If you could be a boundary master, how great would that be! The black crystal ball, what a pity!"

  Kūyā Chén turned a deaf ear to this question. He indeed needed the Zakura crystal to activate his boundary, but he was unwilling to let outsiders know that he possessed one. Although he had successfully escaped Zurich, Kūyā Chén already knew that he was still alive, and it was necessary to keep some trump cards in reserve from time to time. Looking at the luxuriant beard of Qiú Jiǎo Tuanzhǎng, Kūyā Chén simply shook his head helplessly, then stood up and left his office.

  The next few days were calm and peaceful, without any disturbance. The curly-haired team leader had colluded with the people of Jiuyou Dao to put pressure on the Holy Unicorn. The lawsuit had already reached the Federal Parliament's Special Management Committee - also known as the Abnormal Human Management Committee in folk language. This was an official committee dedicated to managing, coordinating and communicating with the many superpowered individuals on Earth.

  Fighting lawsuits and Gu Xiechen have nothing to do with each other, this is the mercenary group using their own background and relying on mountains to mutually frame each other, at this time Gu Xiechen has not yet had the power to participate.

  Lying in the medical cabin, Gu Xie dust narrowed his eyes and pondered other things as he enjoyed the slow recovery of his deliberately injured body.

  "Jack, don't let me down! Give you three years' time, I'll see what kind of person you can become!"

  Jack didn't return to the Ice Cap base, and halfway through, Gu Xiechen had already abandoned him. Gu Xiechen needed to gradually build his own power, and Jack was just the first pawn he discarded. "Hmm, this guy is clever, cunning, and has a good set of skills. Although his combat strength is a bit lacking, he should be able to do a decent job."

  "It's just the first try, even if he dies, it won't be a waste." With his hands clasped in front of his chest, a hint of evil light flashed across Gu Xiechen's eyes.

  The viscous recovery fluid in the medical cabin suddenly emptied with a 'hiss' sound, and the hatch of the medical cabin was roughly opened by someone. The beautiful doctor Maria glared at Gu Xie dust and shouted: "You lazy guy, you've been lying in the medical center for five days just because of this minor skin injury! Now get out of here! Your brothers are bleeding to death outside, and you're enjoying yourself in here, can you still be worthy of that sponge in your pants?"

  "YOU!" The naked and extremely depraved Kuxia pointed at Maria.

  Maria's evil smile curled up as she said, "What? Either get out or I have a million ways to make you cry! I just concocted a special aphrodisiac, specifically for elephants. Want to try it?" Her right hand fingers rotated lightly, and a slender high-pressure syringe gun spun deftly on Maria's fingertips, the sharp injection needle leaving a trail of cold light in the air.

  "This is your territory!" Gu Xiadun scrambled out of the medical cabin, hastily putting on his clothes. He gave Maria a vicious middle finger before fleeing like a fugitive from the medical center. It wasn't until he ran back to his residence that he was surprised to find that he hadn't met anyone along the way?

  On the computer at the head of the bed, Gu Xiechen inquired about the internal network of the base and only then did he discover that the vast Hell Angel Mercenary Corps had long since swarmed out in these few short days. Several interstellar mining companies' mines were found to have packs of fierce beasts, their own security guards were killed or injured, so nearly a million mercenaries from the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps were urgently hired by the wealthy mining companies. It was just that Gu Xiechen had been 'recovering from injuries' at the medical center for these few days, so he hadn't received the notification!

  "Wow, that's a lot of money!" Gu Xie dust stared blankly at the prices offered by the mining company on the screen. Each mercenary's daily salary was 5,000 federal coins, plus an additional huge insurance premium. If they killed one of the beasts attacking the mine, there would be an extra bonus of 1 million. The prices offered by these mining companies were truly astonishing.

  "Off-world colonies? Mines?" Kade's eyes rolled back and forth: "These mining companies must have Zakharan crystal mines, if..."

  Zakula energy crystals are strategic materials controlled by the Federal Military, and ordinary people can't get in touch with them at all. If Gu Xiechen doesn't want to rob the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps' warehouse, he can only think of other ways.

  As I was pondering this issue, the screen on my computer suddenly changed and a Major General in a Federal Army uniform appeared out of nowhere. This dark-skinned general, as black as coal, coldly and unemotionally commanded: "The Aurora Power Plant on Greenland has been attacked. According to the Earth Federation's Defense Act, the Hell Angel Mercenary Corps must immediately mobilize all its forces to provide relief! Those who disobey will be executed."

  Ear-piercing alarm sounds rang out all over the ice cap base, and the curses of Commander Curlybeard poured in from the broadcast like a tidal wave.

  "I'm going to screw your mother! I only have one inner guard regiment now, and it's not even full! Mobilize all forces? Where am I supposed to find people?"

  The burly, bearded team leader vented his feelings about the mother of a certain black general, then bellowed coarsely: "Evil Dragon, you're now the only warrior in the base, I'll lead the team myself. You and I will go to the Aurora Power Plant to see what's going on! Damn it, that's a large-scale thermonuclear fusion power plant, can't have any problems!"

  Within a minute, Gu Xiechen had changed into the Pugilist III combat suit and was carrying as many weapons and ammunition as possible without hindering his movements. Five minutes later, Gu Xiechen arrived at the largest helipad in the base, looking like a small arsenal. Dozens of twin-rotor heavy helicopters had started their engines, emitting a deafening roar that made people's eardrums ache, and the strong gusts of wind almost blew Gu Xiechen away.

  The fully armed commander of the curly whisker team cursed and jumped around at the edge of the apron, waving his hands and feet to drive a group of soldiers from the Ice Cover Base's internal guard team onto the helicopter, while ordering the base's main control room to activate all defenses. Seeing Gu Xiechen running over with a small mountain-like load of ammunition on his back, the commander gave him a thumbs up in approval, then kicked him into a helicopter with one foot.

  Dozens of helicopters roared into the sky, and the massive rotor stirred up a turbulent airflow that whipped up a silver-white whirlwind on the polar ice cap. The whirlwind shot straight south, flying all the way to the Aurora Power Plant located at the northernmost tip of Greenland, deep within the Arctic Circle.

  Squatting beside Qiu Ruo's team leader, Gu Xie frowned at the structure diagram spread out on the ground.

  Aurora Power Station is one of the six largest nuclear fusion power plants in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth Federation. The nuclear fuel inside the reactor can be converted into a nuclear bomb, which is equivalent to at least twenty billion-ton hydrogen bombs. If the Aurora Power Station is damaged, not to mention the reactor being maliciously detonated, the harm caused by the leakage of nuclear materials will be a disaster.

  "The defense force of the Aurora Power Plant has at least 1,500 people! Although they are all C-class defense legions, the weakest in the federal army..."

  The bearded captain slammed his fist on the helicopter's floor. The entire helicopter shook violently and almost fell off. The pilot cursed furiously, while the bearded captain shrugged and made a face at the expressionless passengers in the cabin.

  Gu Xie dust looked at the Aurora nuclear power plant's complex structure diagram and nodded: "That's right, no one within the Earth Federation would sabotage a nuclear power plant. It must be the Roman family's harassment team. But to make the military department's lieutenant general disregard his dignity and ask us for rescue, this harassment team is not weak!"

  The family harassment team is a characteristic of the Romans. The Roman state is composed of large and small families, with a complex and precise evaluation system, military achievements and various achievements determine the importance of these families in the national system and the resources they enjoy.

  To allow families to have more military achievements and rise in rank, or for the sons of large families to gain military achievements to improve their own status, Roman families often infiltrate Earth to launch surprise attacks.

  The big families formed their own teams, the small families joined forces to form teams. In short, they were like a pack of wolves harassing the Earth Federation everywhere, making the Earth Federation headache. The losses caused by the Romanov family's harassment team alone are counted in trillions every year.

  "But in just twenty minutes, the guards of the laser station were alarmed, forcing the Earth Federation Army to issue a direct order to our mercenary group. This mission is not going to be easy!" Gu Xiachen puffed on his cigar, slowly exhaling two columns of smoke as he lightly tapped several red marked points on the structure diagram of the laser station.

  The gaze of the commander with the curly whiskers also fell on this place, he forcefully nodded at the map and suddenly cursed again: "I hate the Federal Defense Act, not a single penny in compensation, just risking our lives!"

  The twin-rotor helicopter sped quickly, and over 2,700 Hell's Angels mercenaries arrived near the Aurora Power Plant in forty minutes.
