Chapter 226 Shinjo: Thank goodness it wasn't Daigo driving.
Director Ji Gang nodded steadily, his deep eyes filled with unwavering determination, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Then I'll go first and rescue Zejing. Remember, if the situation changes, don't hesitate, take immediate action." He was well aware of the danger and urgency of this mission, and every word he spoke seemed to carry immense weight.
Daigo stood rooted to the spot, his gaze fixed on Director Yoshitsugu's departing figure, his eyes filled with worry. His brows furrowed, deep lines appearing on his forehead, his face etched with concern for Director Yoshitsugu's safety. Finally, he couldn't help but call out, "Director, are you alright going in alone?" His voice echoed in the empty space, tinged with anxiety and unease.
Upon hearing this, Director Ji Gang paused slightly, as if sensing Daigu's worry, and slowly turned around.
His face held a calm and composed expression as he gave Daigo a reassuring smile, a smile that seemed to possess an invisible power capable of dispelling the gloom in others' hearts. "Don't worry, don't forget I still have the Bajiquan taught to me by Lin Yeming. This skill isn't just for show. So many years of training and accumulation haven't been for nothing." He patted his chest, speaking with utmost confidence.
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking, his posture upright and agile, darting forward as swiftly as a cheetah.
His movements were light and agile, each step firm and powerful, and he disappeared from Daigo's sight in the blink of an eye. The speed was so fast that Daigo was dumbfounded, his mouth slightly open, unable to react for a moment, his mind blank.
"No way? Isn't Director Ji Gang already quite old? How come he looks more energetic than me? I even feel like he could kill a bull!" Daigo exclaimed in disbelief, his eyes wide.
He never expected that Director Ji Gang, who usually seemed serious and composed, would act so decisively and powerfully.
Recalling the Bajiquan that Director Ji Gang had just mentioned, Daigo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
He lowered his head slightly, rubbing his chin, the image of Lin Yeming practicing his boxing techniques flashing through his mind. "Hiss, is Yeming's boxing technique really that effective? It seems I'll have to ask him for some pointers sometime."
"Maybe if I learn it, I'll have more security when carrying out missions in the future." Thinking of this, Daigo shook his head, as if he wanted to put these thoughts aside for the time being and concentrate on dealing with the current situation.
He took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and carefully opened the weapon box beside him with both hands.
The lid of the weapon case was slowly opened, making a slight creaking sound that was particularly clear in the quiet environment.
The box was neatly filled with various firearms and equipment, each piece polished to a gleaming shine, radiating a cold and dangerous light, as if telling the story of their extraordinary nature.
Daigo's gaze swept quickly across the many weapons, finally settling on a specially made jamming cannon.
He reached out, steadily took it out, and began to skillfully assemble it.
His fingers deftly manipulated the various parts, his movements fluid and natural, without the slightest hesitation.
This jamming cannon is one of the cutting-edge technologies that Horii painstakingly developed, embodying numerous advanced technologies and concepts.
Not only can it cause devastating damage to buildings, with its powerful impact capable of destroying sturdy walls and defensive structures, but it can also release disruptive waves that interfere with surrounding electronic equipment, paralyzing enemy communication, surveillance, and other systems.
Daigo quickly assembled the jamming cannon and carefully checked all its functions. He meticulously examined the energy indicator, aiming system, and firing mechanism to ensure that every component was working perfectly.
After confirming that everything was correct, he lifted the cannon barrel and stood up. The weight of the cannon made his shoulders sag slightly, but his eyes were incredibly determined. He carefully moved in the direction where Director Ji Gang had disappeared, each step cautious and slow, constantly alert to any potential dangers around him.
Although the weather was exceptionally clear today, with the sun shining brightly on the earth and the view wide open, everything around was clearly visible.
But this is not a good thing for Daigo.
In such a bright environment, his figure is completely exposed, making him an easier target for the enemy. Even the slightest movement could be detected by them.
However, he had no room to back down. Bearing the heavy responsibility of rescuing Director Sawai and protecting his teammates, he could only grit his teeth and move forward, silently praying that his whereabouts would not be exposed too early.
Not far ahead, Daigo heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from ahead.
Upon seeing this, Daigo raised the jamming cannon in his hand without hesitation.
He quickly adjusted his posture, gripped the gun firmly, and stared intently at the towering launch tower in the distance, his eyes filled with determination. He took a deep breath and slowly pulled the trigger.
With a deafening roar, a blue shell shot out of the cannon barrel, trailing a long plume of flame, and flew toward the launch tower with lightning precision.
The shells ripped through the air with a sharp whistling sound, as if they were tearing apart anything that stood in their way.
However, the launch tower was far more sturdy than Daigo had imagined.
This launch tower appears to have been modified by the enemy, thus possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Despite the immense power of the jamming cannon, which caused a violent explosion when the shell hit the turret, sending flames soaring into the sky and smoke billowing, the turret only shook slightly and developed some cracks on its surface.
It still stands stubbornly in place, the signal transmitter at the top flashing an eerie light, still continuously transmitting energy, as if mocking Daigo's powerlessness.
Seeing this, Daigo couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
A flicker of sadness crossed his eyes, and a deep sense of defeat welled up inside him.
Was all his efforts in vain? Was he unable to stop the enemy's plot and rescue Director Sawai? A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, leaving him in a state of brief confusion.
After a brief delay, powerful interference waves spread rapidly, like an invisible net, enveloping the launch tower.
The air around the launch tower seemed to be distorted, and various electronic devices emitted a buzzing sound.
Soon, the interference effect began to appear.
After flashing a few times, the originally bright aurora borealis gradually dimmed and eventually disappeared.
Daigo looked in the direction where the aurora borealis disappeared, a joyful smile on his face.
A slight smile played on his lips, and his eyes sparkled with excitement; a huge weight had finally been lifted from his heart.
He was about to use his communicator to call headquarters to report the situation when, unexpectedly, the area near the launch tower suddenly collapsed.
The ground seemed to have been torn open by an invisible giant hand, revealing a huge black hole.
A massive shockwave swept over him instantly, like a surging wave, causing his side to shake violently as well.
Daigo nearly lost his balance, and he quickly grabbed a boulder next to him to steady himself.
The surrounding rocks and dust were sent flying everywhere, raising a thick cloud of smoke and making the whole scene even more chaotic and dangerous...
A strange, giant weapon appeared and immediately fired a beam of light at Victory Swallow II.
Fortunately, Lina reacted quickly enough, twisting the fuselage to dodge the attack.
Startled, Shinjo clutched his chest, thinking, "Thank goodness it wasn't Daigo piloting it, or we would have crashed!"
Finding that it had not caused any damage, the monster shot a beam of light towards Daigo.
