Chapter 230: Simulating Electromagnetic Interference
by xennovelOn the Anti-Government Fighters’ ghost warship, the commander watched the real-time footage coming back from the virtual display.
“Has that tough guy shown up yet?” the commander of the Anti-Government Fighters asked.
“Not yet. Based on our calculations, under such intense attacks, the enemy can hold on for no more than an hour.”
“According to the data, the mine has already been damaged by mutant crawlers, and the emergency facilities are most likely destroyed too.”
“These people have nowhere to rest and recover.”
“There’s a 98% chance that their strong fighter will reappear from Combat Area One and then attempt to circle to the entrance of Combat Area Three,” someone answered.
“Is Combat Area Three ready?” the commander asked again.
“It’s ready. We’ve set up super powerful electromagnetic bombs and high-frequency energy bombs. Even an A+ level expert can’t escape in such a confined space,” the previous speaker replied.
“Capturing someone like that, their genes alone are a treasure trove. If it’s a man, we can breed many offspring.”
“Watch closely and capture them alive if possible. Is there anything unusual in the surrounding airspace?” the commander of the warship ordered.
“Understood. Nothing unusual detected so far,” someone reported.
Hearing this, the warship commander carefully checked the radar data. Everything seemed normal.
“What new tricks are those Alliance old-timers up to this time?” The captain of the warship frowned slightly. Was he not the hunted one? “All personnel, stay on high alert and keep the warship charged,” the commander ordered.
“We’ve found the target in Combat Area One,” someone urgently reported.
The virtual display immediately zoomed in on Combat Area One, which was the entrance to the mine.
“Why is it so unclear?” The commander on the warship glanced at the image and asked harshly.
The virtual display only showed a blurred figure flashing by, then the screen switched to another image—clearly, the drone transmitting the footage had lost connection.
“The other side must have used some kind of method to interfere with the drone’s signal.” Someone immediately replied.
“What about anti-interference measures?” the warship commander asked immediately.
“These small drones have very low anti-interference capabilities,” someone quickly responded.
In the short time they spoke, all of the drones in the first layer of the mine lost connection. They didn’t even get a clear view of the enemy, only seeing a blurred shadow flash by.
“What’s the damage?” The commander felt his scalp tingling at this scene. What kind of superpower was this?
“We lost 65 drones and 18 mecha drones in Combat Area One.”
“All personnel in Combat Area One, evacuate immediately!” The commander of the Anti-Government Fighters promptly ordered.
“Retreat! Evacuate everyone from Combat Area One!” The commander repeated the order urgently, watching the constantly shifting scenes.
“We’ve lost another 52 drones and 6 mecha drones. One special operations team has also gone missing.”
“Combat Area One has lost another layer of the mine.”
“Emergency evacuation! Evacuate Combat Area One!” the warship commander ordered once more.
“Order all drones and mecha drones in Area One to launch suicidal attacks on the target’s location,” the commander said, watching the fragmented virtual image, which gave a choppy feeling.
This was because the enemy was advancing too quickly, causing issues with the drone’s footage synchronization.
In the virtual image, a section of the mine that hadn’t collapsed yet showed a figure flashing out. This person’s entire body looked pixelated, making it impossible to clearly see anything. Even with armor on, no specific features were discernible.
Despite the blurred image, there were two squads of special forces inside the mine, along with more than 20 regular armed personnel, all using over 100 drones and 10 mecha drones.
A shadow suddenly appeared, dashing out from under the collapsed rocks through a tunnel gnawed by mutant crawlers.
It was followed by a rain of metal debris, spraying into the space like a flower scattering petals.
The collapsed tunnel resembled a giant gun barrel, shooting out countless pieces of metal debris.
Then the scene switched again to footage from drones in a safer area further back.
“What kind of superpower is this?” The commander of the Anti-Government Fighters warship broke out in a cold sweat.
How could one control so many metal fragments? No one mentioned any powerful experts in this area. “Elevate the warship by 20,000 kilometers.” The warship commander gave the order, knowing some superhumans had extremely abnormal abilities.
The crew on the warship understood immediately, realizing how dangerous the person in the virtual image truly was.
“We’ve lost all contact with Combat Area One!” someone shouted.
Outside Combat Area One, three unmanned warplanes hovered menacingly inside the canyon.
Above the canyon, two more unmanned warplanes and two manned warplanes overlooked the area below.
“Third Master!” The third-party commander in charge of guarding the front of the mine trotted after Yang Bo, arriving at the entrance.
“Hmm!” The two checked the area with their equipment and saw warplanes hovering outside, with laser cannons aimed at the mine’s entrance.
“Bring out the energy stones,” Yang Bo estimated the distance and said.
The commander quickly had his men bring out the energy stones. After the mine collapsed, some exposed energy stones were visible, so they were definitely going to collect them.
Soon, dozens of energy stones were placed in front of Yang Bo, some as large as eggs and others as small as green peas.
Yang Bo waved his hand, and a stone the size of a fist floated into the air.
The next second, a laser flashed. Outside, the warplanes fired when they noticed the floating stone.
“Third Master, we have energy shields. We can make a push to cover you,” the third-party commander said. Seeing the current situation, doing nothing wasn’t going to work.
“Find a few strong fighters and throw the stones over there,” Yang Bo understood the commander’s meaning—they were ready to sacrifice lives.
However, since the Anti-Government Fighters were so powerful, he didn’t want to lose people if he could avoid it.
The commander gathered over a dozen people, who hid in places undetectable by the warplanes’ radar, and kept throwing stones outside.
The strength of the superhuman gene evolvers was immense. Stones the size of fists were thrown toward the warplanes in parabolic arcs.
The three warplanes kept firing, knocking down one stone after another.
“What are they trying to do?” The commander of the Anti-Government Fighters warship was puzzled by what he saw.
“Commander, the bombs we deployed in Combat Area Three have arrived,” someone reported at that moment.
“Attack! Throw all the bombs in. Destroying Combat Area One is a price we’re willing to pay,” the commander of the Anti-Government Fighters immediately ordered.
“Their planes are pulling back. Something’s not right,” said the third-party commander inside the entrance of Combat Area One, noticing the retreat of the unmanned warplanes.
“Something’s definitely happening,” Yang Bo had planned to wait longer, but seeing the situation, he knew they couldn’t wait anymore.
“Give me two energy shields. After you throw another wave of stones, pull back.” Yang Bo gave the order.
Two energy shields were handed to Yang Bo, and then he flew out.
Strangely, the three unmanned warplanes couldn’t lock onto Yang Bo. After flying a short distance, Yang Bo saw two bombs falling from the sky.
These two bombs were like missiles, and Yang Bo quickly used his gravity superpower. Two energy stones the size of longan fruit shot toward the bombs.
At the same time, he fired his laser gun at the stones..
With a loud bang, the two energy stones shot over 200 meters before being hit by Yang Bo’s laser gun, exploding instantlly.
The powerful energy wave immediately caused the two bombs above to detonate as well.
At this moment, Yang Bo landed on the ground, his armor shining with a dazzling light.
“Electromagnetic bomb!” Yang Bo noticed the surface of the three unmanned warplanes in the distance flickering with electric sparks.
Yang Bo also felt a numb sensation on his skin, instantly realizing what kind of bomb it was. Fortunately, he had already set up an electric current on the surface of his body.
The huge shockwave blew up all the dust inside the canyon.
However, the thin air meant that after being blown into the air, the dust fell like drifting sand.
At the same time, the warship’s communication with this area on the ground was cut off.
The powerful electromagnetic shock caused the warship to lose contact with the unmanned warplanes.
Additionally, a few of the bombs meant to hit Combat Area One were thrown off-course by the electromagnetic shock and hit the canyon outside the mine instead.
The massive electromagnetic shock interfered with the guidance systems of the bombs.
“Warships really are in a league of their own,” Yang Bo was now invisible. He hadn’t expected his plan—to use the energy shockwave from the exploding energy stones to hide himself—would be helped by two massive bombs from the enemy.
“Looks like simulating electromagnetic interference with my own electro-optic power is feasible.” This battle had taught Yang Bo a new skill, as the three unmanned warplanes hadn’t attacked him when he leaped out of the mine. Yang Bo had used his electro-optic power to simulate electromagnetic interference with the three unmanned warplanes.
Though it only lasted less than a second, Yang Bo now knew his electromagnetic interference had worked.
“Hmm?” Yang Bo arrived at the Bounty Hunter Guild’s warplane, noticing it was undamaged.
“Someone here?” Just as Yang Bo was about to check the Cargo Bay of the warplane, he noticed others hiding inside.
“It seems the enemy commander calculated everything up to this point,” Yang Bo observed closely and found three cyborgs hidden inside. These three looked like half-finished versions of Iron Man.
“Now that I know where you’re hiding, it’s time to act.” After figuring out where the three cyborgs were located, Yang Bo left.
