I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Qin Tianhai ordered the fleet to move forward. On the aircraft carrier in Chinese waters, ten carrier-based fighter jets had already taken off, two of which were carrying tactical nuclear bombs!

In addition, two Type 055 destroyers have been out of port for more than ten minutes, and a new Chinese strategic nuclear submarine, the "Chiyou", is on standby in the nearby waters. The nuclear weapons on board are enough to destroy a superpower!

It can be said that they are now fearless in the face of any provocation.

Now that the other major powers are aware of the matter, China no longer needs to hide it. It can simply send its fleet to escort the goods openly and announce it to the outside world.

Anyone who dares to steal something should first ask themselves if they can withstand the wrath of China!

All this deterrence is necessary and worthwhile for the sake of the Sequence-level Sea Serpent's crystal core, even if it means going to war with some ill-intentioned individuals!

Chapter Eighty-Six: Turmoil and Upheaval

"What should we do?" Hyde asked, frowning as he looked at the 055 10,000-ton destroyer that had already begun to turn its bow.

Strangely, Luther was somewhat agitated. He didn't want to break ties with China, as no one could withstand the consequences!

But, but—!

His right hand, gripping the cane, trembled incessantly. White light emanated from the cane and emanated from his hand, and he was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.

Should we take action? If we do, what are the chances of success? Will the benefits outweigh the costs?

These are all things he needs to consider; one wrong step could lead to irreversible consequences.

“Extraordinary…important…sequence level…sea serpent…death…” Words pieced together different answers in his mind, and when he reached one of them, he suddenly froze.

Crystal nucleus!

How could someone as powerful as Yan Shan, backed by the powerful Chinese government, easily allow them to take away the sea serpent's corpse?

Although they paid a heavy price for this, the process went too smoothly, abnormally so.

In the past, it was not uncommon for major powers to wrestle for days or even years over the "reasonable" distribution of interests. But they resolved it in just over ten minutes, which was quite strange.

This illustrates a point—

The sea serpent's corpse wasn't the most important thing. What truly demonstrated the value of China's operation was what the girl inside was holding!

It was too close! Because the possibility was so slim, he hadn't even considered that possibility. If it weren't for his cane reminding him, he would have really missed this incredible treasure!

However, all of this is still just speculation, but it is enough for him to take a certain risk. The reactions of Yan Shan and Qin Tianhai are not telling. They are always like this, they want to see how others react first.

"Please wait!"

Luther's voice was initially faint, easily drowned out by the rolling waves, but later it echoed in everyone's ears like a roar from the heavens, making their vision go black.

Lansenk's expression changed immediately. The United States had the confidence to turn against China, but they didn't!

This stunt at this time will definitely drag him into it too!

He wanted to leave, but he couldn't; their ship hadn't arrived yet, and he couldn't take the sea serpent's carcass with him alone.

"Luther, don't push your luck! Do you really think we're afraid of you?!"

Qin Tianhai also let out a low shout, and the sea surged with a raging storm, layer upon layer, and the water in front of Luther exploded directly, like a huge hurricane crashing down.

Although he was only at the Gathering Spirit Realm, a level lower than Luther, he was not afraid of Luther and could confront him head-on by taking advantage of the power of the sea.

"Things are not looking good, Mu Mu. Take the sea serpent's crystal core back first and act accordingly!"

Qin Tianhai solemnly instructed, "In the end, they have noticed something amiss, and a confrontation that will attract worldwide attention is inevitable!"

"We're going up. Do you want to come? You'll get your share of the benefits once it's done."

Luther said to Hanssenk.

At this moment, they should try to gain as many allies as possible, because they are not facing the small, easily bullied countries of the past, but a superpower that has reached its zenith and is developing at its peak!

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Hansenk's forehead. At this point, they were in the same boat, with no way out, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Where is our carrier strike group? How long until it arrives?"

After checking, Hyde said, "The Seventh Fleet is in the Western Pacific and will be here soon."

After the apocalypse, the increasingly treacherous and unpredictable seas finally gave the United States' massive, abandoned fleet a purpose.

A certain area of ​​​​the Western Pacific

A Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, with a deck over 300 meters long and a height equivalent to a dozen stories, was transporting top-secret supplies back to the mainland when it suddenly received an order from the Pentagon to change its original course and head to a small island it had never heard of to carry out a mission.

Around it, more than fifty ships of various sizes changed course along with this maritime behemoth, and the nuclear-powered submarine underwater followed closely behind, heading towards some unknown sea area.

When will your fleet arrive?

Hansenk scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, and said, "About ten minutes."

He knew that what had come from his side was not a fleet at all, but only two old warships and a semi-submersible ship that came as a symbolic escort, which was far inferior to the wealthy and powerful United States.

They actually deployed the famous Seventh Fleet, which is an entire carrier battle group! The cost of deploying it once is countless!

Yan Shan had the same thought. He had just received a communication from China that the Seventh Fleet, located in the western Pacific Ocean, was speeding toward them on satellite imagery.

Is the other side trying to wipe them all out in one fell swoop?!

"Old Hai, surely our navy has sent more than just a few ships?"

Yan Shan suddenly asked, "Qin Tianhai is the highest commander of the Chinese Navy, and he knows the current situation of the Chinese Navy best."

"Of course, that's obvious!"

While China may not have as many large surface warships as the United States, its quality and scale rank second in the world. If they work together as a unified force, even the Seventh Fleet would have to give way.

"Call them all if there are any left! Anyway, those soldiers have been idle for so long since the apocalypse, so let them get out and move around."

"...Fine."

At the same time, most of the warships docked in Chinese ports were mobilized, displaying great power and overwhelming momentum.

Even the newest aircraft carriers have been deployed, their carrier-based fighters fully armed. The biggest maritime confrontation storm since the apocalypse is about to begin!

Satellites from various countries discovered this situation, causing chaos at the highest levels. The sudden actions of the United States and China caught them completely off guard.

What are these two UN rogue states, capable of destroying the world, trying to do?

Humanity has barely managed to gain a foothold in the apocalypse, and now it's about to start its own self-destruction?

But they were powerless to stop it from happening and could only watch from the sidelines.

In an instant, the world was in turmoil, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Presidents of various countries called each other to discuss the current situation, and the United Nations held an emergency meeting, calling on both sides to remain calm and not to add insult to injury to human civilization.

"What a huge commotion..." Yan Ziming couldn't help but sigh. He hadn't expected that this matter would cause such a great upheaval!

"Master Sister, are you leaving now?"

Mu Mu shook her head and said, "Not now. If we leave now, they might notice and try to stop us. We need to wait for an opportunity."

There's a reason why ninth-tier powerhouses are considered strategic cornerstones. Their ability to control the situation far surpasses that of mutated species of the same level. It would be very difficult for Mu Mu to tear through space and retreat as usual, especially when the opponent is a Void Spirit Realm powerhouse.

On the other side, Luther said, "Let's go up and hold them off for a while until the Seventh Fleet arrives!"

As he spoke, he took off into the air and flew off like a shooting star.

"Get back!"

A hurricane suddenly erupted, carrying the power to destroy everything, and slammed towards Luther.

"Excuse me, this is international waters. You have no right to obstruct my actions!"

Luther radiated divine light, engulfing the sea and shrouding the sky, causing everything to lose its vitality. The hurricane wave shattered under its illumination!

"Want to fight? Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

A person flew out from the bow of the Type 055 destroyer and landed on the sea. The churning, boundless sea calmed down, as if it had encountered a master and obeyed his command.

"Why bother? I just wanted to see that thing..."

Luther landed in front of Qin Tianhai, boundless divine light surging beneath his feet, and said helplessly, "If he could, he wouldn't want things to turn out like this; it's a mess for everyone."

Chapter 87 Invite my ass!

“Luther, you should be well aware of what your actions represent.”

Qin Tianhai spoke each word carefully, and with each word he uttered, the surrounding seawater seemed to press down even lower.

"I really just wanted to take a look, why can't you grant an old man's wish?"

"Do you outsiders think you can just look at what's inside my Chinese warships? Are you out of your mind? Do you want me to blast it out for you?" Qin Tianhai roared.

The issue now is not whether the sequence-level crystal cores will be taken away; Luther's actions at this moment are a trampling on their dignity!

I still remember that before the end of the world came and before China rose to power, the United States, under the pretext that a Chinese cargo ship had biological and chemical weapons, sent warships to intercept it on the high seas and detained it for more than a month!

Unfortunately, China was still very weak at the time, and its navy was far inferior to that of the United States. It could only swallow its humiliation and wait for the cargo ship to be inspected by the United States. In the end, no so-called biological weapons were found, and the United States did not even bother to apologize.

It was obvious that the other side was just picking a fight and humiliating China at the time!

Needless to say, the feelings of the entire Chinese people at that time were extremely stifled; in short, they were utterly humiliated!

Now, Luther's behavior has gone even further, openly declaring that he would search the interior of China's latest Type 055 destroyer? And he even deployed the Seventh Fleet as a show of force?

This touched the most sensitive nerve in the minds of Qin Tianhai and all the naval personnel; they absolutely could not agree to it!

The only solution to this problem is overwhelming anger and overwhelming strength.
