"Excellent!" the highest leader beamed, waving his hand. "Meeting adjourned, we'll visit Professor Jing first."
"Yes!"
The others chimed in, their faces showing various degrees of smiles.
Ten minutes later, at the Dragon Country Central Medical Research Institute, the highest-level special care ward.
The Dragon Country's highest leader, accompanied by a group of senior officials, pushed open the ward door to see Jing Mingqiu leaning against Mo Ruixue, operating a laptop with a grim expression, utterly furious.
The highest leader, assuming Jing Mingqiu was angered by recent public opinion and worried about his recovery, quickly said, "Mingqiu, rest assured, we will make the Beautiful Country pay."
"That's right," the First Military Region Commander added, "As long as you come forward to testify, this will be an ironclad case. No matter how much the Beautiful Country argues, they cannot escape the judgment of law!"
Despite having faced numerous attacks before, this time Jing Mingqiu had truly walked on the edge of death, and his entire mindset had undergone significant growth.
"It's useless," Jing Mingqiu shook his head gently. "Putting aside whether they recognize my testimony, even if it becomes an ironclad case, what of it? Whoever dares to sanction the Beautiful Country will at most replace a president and execute a few scapegoats."
"To kill a snake, strike at its head; to cut grass, remove the roots! Those who attacked me this time, on the surface, were the Beautiful Country's president, but in reality, it was those capital interest groups hidden behind the scenes."
"If these guys aren't dealt with, no matter how great our achievements, they will one day return."
"Highest Leader," Jing Mingqiu's eyes held a deepening murderous intent, "Since the Beautiful Country wants to divert disaster, claiming that the terrorist organization from A'qiong Khan attacked me, why don't we play along with their plan? Under the guise of anti-terrorism, we can send troops into A'qiong Khan."
"Using this opportunity, we can clear out the bases of the capital interest groups in A'qiong Khan and expose all the dirty deeds the Beautiful Country has done there."
Hearing this proposal, the highest leader looked hesitant. "Mingqiu, A'qiong Khan is not small, and transportation is very inconvenient. How can we locate the bases of those capital interest groups?"
"Moreover," the First Military Region Commander continued, "A'qiong Khan is known as the graveyard of empires. If we enter rashly and get bogged down, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Jing Mingqiu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he typed a few keys on the laptop. Then, he turned the screen and handed the computer over.
"The attacker had a remotely controlled robot. Before the person controlling it from behind the scenes could sever the connection, I released a virus. Using the robot as a stepping stone, I infiltrated their internal network."
"While I was unconscious, the virus replicated madly and spread in secret. Including the Bai'er Group, the bases established by the Beautiful Country's three major pharmaceutical groups in A'qiong Khan are now all under my control."
"Here are their specific locations, defense deployments, and the research projects they are currently conducting! Leader, for this anti-terrorism operation, I request to lead the team personally!"
As he uttered the last four words, Jing Mingqiu's murderous intent surged, almost solidifying.
"Mingqiu, you haven't fully recovered yet, don't..."
The highest leader had just started to advise Jing Mingqiu when Assistant Zhao, who was looking at Jing Mingqiu's computer, suddenly cried out in horror.
"Ahhh!"
"Don't worry, I'm right here. What happened?" The highest leader knew very well that although Assistant Zhao occasionally made minor mistakes, he was very discerning and wouldn't deliberately cause trouble at this time. Something must have happened beyond his tolerance.
"Apologies, Leader, I lost my composure!" Assistant Zhao shook his head vigorously, managing to stabilize his emotions before turning the laptop screen to the highest leader and replaying the video.
The video showed a pregnant woman with her abdomen cut open, revealing a fetus that had just taken shape. Both mother and child were covered in wounds. Beside them, two life monitors, one large and one small, showed continuously fluctuating numbers, indicating they were still alive!
After watching the video, the highest leader, a veteran who had experienced battle and personally taken lives, couldn't help but feel a wave of nausea.
When the video ended, a densely packed experimental list popped up, detailing a series of bloody and horrific experiments that trampled on law and humanity, such as vivisection, frostbite experiments, and human-animal blood exchange.
Seeing this, the highest leader recalled the heinous atrocities committed by Unit 731 in Dragon Country. Alongside his surge of rage, he instantly understood why Jing Mingqiu was so insistent on going to the battlefield himself!
"Mingqiu," the highest leader took a deep breath, "If you truly want to go, I won't stop you, but can your body handle it? And your mecha hasn't been fully repaired yet!"
"My body has recovered considerably. It's just that due to the nuclear radiation, I was forced to undergo gene recombination, and my physical strength has increased excessively. I'm not very proficient in controlling it yet."
"As for the mecha? I prepared that long ago. This time, not even a nuclear bomb, but a hydrogen bomb, would be able to harm me in the slightest."
Jing Mingqiu snapped his fingers casually. The blue and white striped hospital gown he was wearing melted away, and within a few breaths, it transformed into a silver mecha that encased his entire body.
This mecha was not made by Jing Mingqiu but was a reward for surviving the nuclear explosion, granted by the system.
Earlier, Jing Mingqiu had intended to say, "I just got a new one from the system," but the system's shielding function had automatically altered his words to convey a different meaning.
Jing Mingqiu was well aware that the highest leader understood what he was trying to say. After all, he had never been overly secretive. The highest leader knew exactly what was in his laboratory. By speaking this way, he was simply trying to put the highest leader at ease so that he could go to A'qiong Khan and personally exact revenge on these demons.
As Jing Mingqiu had guessed, the highest leader showed no intention of exposing him. Instead, he nodded gently, "Mingqiu, I understand what you mean. You rest well, and I will handle the rest!"
After a series of tedious operations involving pre-war mobilization, equipment inventory, logistical transport, and communication with the A'qiong Khan authorities, Dragon Country held a large-scale press conference.
At the conference, the Dragon Country's highest leader solemnly announced that a major anti-terrorism operation would be conducted to thoroughly clear out all terrorists within A'qiong Khan and restore normal lives for the ordinary people of A'qiong Khan.
He specifically emphasized that Professor Jing Mingqiu, who had narrowly escaped death after being attacked, would personally lead this operation!
The Beautiful Country's First Lighthouse.
Watching the departing Dragon Country fleet, Beautiful Country President Joseph Biden spat forcefully on the ground. "They can't even see such an obvious conspiracy. The Dragon Country's top brass are all a bunch of losers, dreaming of surpassing my great America."
"Hahaha," Hudson Allen, a representative from the pharmaceutical group, walked in with a smile. "It's not that they can't see it, but they have no other choice. Knowing it's a trap, they have to jump into it headfirst."
"After all, with Dragon Country's hastily assembled aircraft carrier fleet, if a fight were to break out, they wouldn't last even an hour. However," Hudson Allen paused.
"Jing Mingqiu surviving a direct nuclear blast is quite unexpected."
Joseph Biden sneered dismissively, "Who knows if the one who survived is the original Jing Mingqiu? Dragon Country is most skilled at the 'swapping the king's son' trick!"
"I don't believe that a top scientist, who was just attacked and nearly died, would not be heavily protected and instead be placed on the most dangerous battlefield!"
"Speaking of which," Joseph Biden said with a fake smile, "I've prepared a welcome gift for Dragon Country in A'qiong Khan. I wonder if they'll like it?"
