Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 220 - Operation Wall Breaker

Chapter 220: Operation Wall Breaker

Outside the airs.h.i.+p, the Polar City had already disappeared.

Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi were in the airs.h.i.+p to personally escort Lin Feng and the others. There were not even any attendants on the airs.h.i.+p.

“This mission is rather dangerous. We originally wanted to deploy some scientists for you, so that if you enter and encounter some technological problems, you won’t be caught off guard. However, after some discussion, we ultimately decided not to deploy scientists for you.”

“The ruins are too dangerous. The survivability of ordinary people is too weak. Even if the scientists go in with you, I’m afraid not only will they not be of any help, they will be a burden to you. In that case, we might as well not send any scientists along. There’s a chip here that is practically the best of all the technology in our current world. According to the layout of the ruins and the past few studies, we finally deduced some methods to control the ruins.”

“If you are really able to enter the depths of the ruins and reach the control room, what’s inside this chip might be of use to you. As long as you can turn off the defense system, we will send people in. Then, your mission will be considered a success.”

Lin Feng and the others each received a chip that could be inserted into their communicators.

“By the way, can we contact each other through the communicator in the ruins?” Griman asked suddenly.

Actually, everyone already had some guesses, but they still couldn’t help but want to hear the answers from the two Sages themselves.

“There should be a s.h.i.+elding magnetic field in the ruins. No contact method will work. Therefore, once you enter the ruins, you can only rely on yourselves!”

The ten martial artists were a little silent. They all felt the pressure.

This mission might really be very dangerous. If not for the pressure from the Nine Sages, there might really be people who did not want to enter the ruins. However, the Nine Sages had personally “requested” this of them. How could they refuse?

In fact, refusal was not an option for them at all! Seeing how seriously Sage Kang and Sage Yuanyi took this matter now, could they possibly refuse?

Hence, no matter how dangerous it was, they had no choice.

Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Sage Kang naturally knew what they were thinking. Hence, Sage Kang said, “There’s still some time before we reach the ruins. During this period of time, if you have any questions about martial arts, you can ask Sage Yuanyi and I. We will answer all your questions!”

Hearing Sage Kang’s words, everyone perked up. This was a rare opportunity.

The Sages had very few disciples, but even their disciples might not be able to enjoy the treatment of having every question answered. How could everyone not seize the opportunity to personally ask the Sages questions?

Such an opportunity could only be chanced upon by luck. Perhaps with the guidance of a Sage, they might be able to undergo a second life transition and become Divine Realm martial artists at some time.

Even Lin Feng had some questions to ask the two Sages. For a time, the atmosphere in the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p became enthusiastic, and was no longer as silent as before.

…

In a heavily guarded secret military base…

A young lieutenant colonel in a green military uniform walked into the office at the base, where a general with the rank of Major General was working.

Snap.

The lieutenant colonel saluted and took out an application.

The general raised his head and picked up the application letter on the table. He frowned slightly and said, “Lin Hai, your name is no longer included in this mission. You are about to be transferred to the Konglan Base. There are still important missions waiting for you there.”

“General, I request to partic.i.p.ate in Operation Wall Breaker!”

“Lin Hai, obey your order!” The general’s tone deepened, exuding authority.

“General, I was originally on the list of Operation Wall Breaker personnel. Why was I suddenly removed?”

“Lin Hai, you do not need to know the reason. This is an order!”

“General, I followed the order, but now, I apply to partic.i.p.ate in Operation Wall Breaker again.”

Seeing Lin Hai’s determined gaze, the general also eased up. He let out a long sigh and said, “Lin Hai, the Wall Breaker Operation is very dangerous. Even though we’ve already learned about the ruins, there’s still danger inside. You’ve just broken the genetic lock and have a bright future ahead of you. There is no need for you to partic.i.p.ate in Operation Wall Breaker. We are protecting you. Why can’t you understand?”

The general said with some disappointment. Lin Hai had always been his subordinate, and had even been personally promoted by him. The Wall Breaker Operation was too perilous. He really did not want Lin Hai to take the risk.

Moreover, Lin Hai was still very young and had a bright future ahead of him.

Lin Hai’s expression was still firm, but his tone had softened as well. He said in a low voice, “General Long, I’ve always been involved in the Wall Breaker Operation. We’re just one step away from breaching the ruins. How can I leave at this point? Before Scar died, he held my hand tight. I promised him that I’ll definitely enter the ruins and complete Operation Wall Breaker. I can’t go back on my word.

“General Long, let me partic.i.p.ate in Operation Wall Breaker. If I don’t partic.i.p.ate, I’ll feel guilty for the rest of my life. I can’t forget Scar’s expectant gaze, even if I shut my eyes.”

“But Operation Wall Breaker is very dangerous. If anything happens to you, not only will it be a loss to your family, it will also be a loss to our army. I’m even about to recommend you to join the military faction. You’ll soon obtain the rank of Major General.”

“General Long, I don’t regret it! As for my family, I have parents, but I also have an eldest brother and a younger brother, especially my younger brother, Lin Feng. General Long, you probably still remember the last time you came to my family and saw my younger brother, Lin Feng. I didn’t expect Lin Feng, who was plagued by a strange illness since he was young, to grow so quickly. He’s already attained first in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, and has even obtained the Hero of Humanity Medal!

“With Lin Feng in the Lin family, it’s enough. They no longer have to place all their hopes on me. I’m also relieved. There are some things I must do, and some promises I must keep!”

Lin Hai’s words made General Long fall silent.

Indeed, he knew the Lin family’s situation better than anyone. Lin Feng had shocked the world with a single brilliant feat in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, and was a dark horse till the very end. He had attained the first place in the inaugural Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion.

He knew what this meant. Even the Sages would probably pay attention to Lin Feng.

As long as Lin Feng was around, the Lin family would prosper day by day. There was no need to place all their hopes on Lin Hai. It did not even matter if Lin Hai became an inhuman expert.

However, Lin Hai was no longer the boy who carried the heavy burden of the Lin family. He was a soldier, and more than that, he was a martial artist! He needed to fulfill his promise, and there were some things that he needed to do even more.

Lin Hai was even very grateful towards Lin Feng, for he no longer had to carry the heavy burden of the family.

“All right, I’ll submit your application to the higher-ups, but I can’t promise it will be approved.”

“Thank you, General Long.”

With that, Lin Hai turned around and left. He knew that once General Long agreed, there would basically be no problem for him to join Operation Wall Breaker.
