You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 157 The Passing Deliveryman
"This kind of person is more disgusting than those corrupted by the abyss."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

He outwardly accepted the rerouting plan, but secretly contacted Bai Xihe, who was on patrol duty aboard the Jiangzhe warship.

"Brother Bai, do me a small favor... I've discovered some clues about the 'remnants of the Abyss,' and I might need your 'Sea Eagle' team's cooperation to conduct a 'secret counter-terrorism drill'..."

Upon hearing that there was a fight going on, and that it would be a joint effort with Li Zhe, Bai Xihe on the other end of the phone immediately became excited and readily agreed.

A grand drama revolving around "express delivery," filled with conspiracies and plot twists, is about to unfold...

……

Crisis Era Year 1, August 10st, late at night.

A heavy strategic transport plane painted with the insignia of the United Government, like a steel behemoth in the night, cut through the clouds and slowly landed on the isolated island in the remote sea.

This island is an inconspicuous transit hub in the GPSLN network, and is almost deserted except for a few cargo ships that are responsible for resupply.

However, tonight, the place is unusually "lively".

Dozens of armed personnel, dressed in port security uniforms but with a fierce and murderous aura in their eyes that seemed out of place with their status, were already on high alert on the tarmac.

Mixed among them were a few "technicians" wearing white coats and carrying various precision instruments, their eyes darting around and their expressions tense.

They have only one goal.

Intercept this transport plane and seize that crucial national asset that could reshape the world's energy landscape.

And to take down the star courier that their boss hated to the core.

"coming!"

As the roar of the transport plane grew louder, the head of security issued a low command through an encrypted channel.

"Attention all units! Proceed according to the original plan! Remember, our target is the 'goods.' Do not linger; finish this quickly! Once successful, immediately detonate the pre-set bombs and erase all traces of this place!"

"Yes!"

……

The cargo plane's hatch slowly opened.

Li Zhe was wearing the standard uniform of a mecha pilot.

He retrieved it from the maintenance hangar, carried a huge alloy box on his back, and walked out of the cabin.

His face showed no sign of tension, and even carried a hint of listless laziness.

It was as if he was about to face not a meticulously planned ambush, but a routine handover and inspection of goods.

"stop!"

The security personnel who had been lying in ambush immediately rushed forward, guns drawn, and surrounded him. The dark muzzles of their guns were all pointed at him.

"Routine inspection!"

The captain, speaking in an unquestionable tone, said coldly, "We need to conduct a full security scan of you and the cargo you are transporting."

As they spoke, the "technicians" in white coats approached Li Zhe, holding various strange-looking instruments.

Their eyes gleamed with greed and excitement.

Looking at the clumsy performance before him, Li Zhe couldn't help but find it amusing.

He didn't even bother to waste words with them, merely glancing at them indifferently before asking in return:
"Are you sure?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" The captain was enraged by his contemptuous gaze. "These are the rules! If you don't cooperate, we have the right to execute you on the spot!"

"is it?"

A playful smile curved the corners of Li Zhe's mouth.

He slowly placed the alloy box on the ground and looked calmly at the other party. "Then... come on."

Just as those "technicians" were about to touch the alloy box, victorious smiles already spreading across their faces—

“Woooo ...!!!”

A piercing alarm suddenly blared from all directions, echoing through the sky.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of blinding searchlight beams descended from the sky, illuminating the entire tarmac as bright as day.

"Don't move! We are the 'Sea Eagle' mech team of the United Government Forces! You are surrounded!"

Bai Xihe's authoritative voice resounded throughout the entire port through the loudspeaker.

In the sky, several mechs painted with the insignia of gyrfalcons had quietly come to a stop.

The dark muzzle of the cannon had already locked onto all the targets below.

Outside the port, more armed men emerged from the shadows like ghosts, forming an impenetrable encirclement.

"what?!"

When all the people Liu Hong had planted saw the divine weapon descending from the sky, their expressions changed drastically, and their minds went blank.

They simply couldn't understand why the coalition government's elite forces would "just happen" to appear in this godforsaken place and conduct some kind of "anti-terrorism drill"!

"Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"

The security captain was the first to react; he quickly raised his hands, trying to argue, "We're port security, conducting a routine check..."

However, he was met with Bai Xihe's cold and emotionless command.

"All targets, surrender immediately! Repeat, surrender immediately! Otherwise, kill without mercy!"

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot.

A "technician" working alongside the security captain was killed instantly when a sniper in the distance shot him in the head while attempting to detonate a bomb on his person.

This bloody scene completely shattered their last psychological defenses.

"Don't shoot! We surrender! We surrender!"

They all threw down their weapons, covered their heads, and squatted on the ground, trembling.

A meticulously planned ambush was thus completely thwarted in an almost absurd way.

Bai Xihe piloted the mecha and slowly landed in front of Li Zhe.

He opened the cockpit door, jumped out, and wore a wry, apologetic smile.

"Comrade Li Zhe, I'm sorry, did our 'drill' disturb your 'delivery' mission?"

He deliberately emphasized the words "drill" and "express delivery".

Li Zhe couldn't help but chuckle at his "I don't know anything, I was just passing by" expression.

"Not at all," he said with a smile, shaking his head. "Comrade Bai's arrival was just in time, saving me a lot of effort."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Li Zhe leaned leisurely against the alloy box, watching the prisoners being led away by the "Sea Eagle" squad members like chicks.

This seemingly accidental "counter-terrorism drill" is likely to cause quite a stir within the coalition government...

A meticulously planned ambush was thwarted in an almost absurd and dramatic way by a "counter-terrorism drill" conducted by the United Government Forces' "Sea Eagle" Special Operations Group, which happened to be passing by.

The news spread like wildfire through the various internal communication channels of the coalition government in an unofficial, gossip-filled, and sensationalist manner...
