Chapter 269 International Attention: The Clash of High Technology and Extraordinary Power

H County, the epicenter of the Sichuan earthquake, is undergoing tremendous changes under the watchful eyes of the international community.

As international rescue teams arrived at the outskirts, they began advancing towards the core area. They had expected to witness a scene of devastation indistinguishable from the earthquake rescues they had participated in before. However, what they saw firsthand shattered all their preconceived notions. Videos and photos that had previously circulated on social media, which they internally dismissed as "exaggerated" or even "false propaganda," now presented a stark reality before their eyes.

James, the captain of the M Country International Rescue Team, arrived at a ruin that had been initially cleared by the Kunlun Division, carrying his prized top-of-the-line search and rescue equipment. His life detector, touted as capable of pinpointing signs of life at a depth of fifty meters—the pinnacle of current technology—revealed a shocking truth: the area had been completely rescued by the Kunlun Division long before their arrival. The few red dots flashing sporadically on the instrument were mostly hundreds of meters underground, exceeding the equipment's detection limits, or simply indicating the absence of life.

"What... what's going on?" James asked incredulously. His gaze swept across the scene before him, where several soldiers dressed in Chinese camouflage were manually moving a precast concrete slab weighing at least half a ton. Their movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation, as if it were merely an ordinary stone.

James unconsciously rubbed his eyes. He had witnessed firsthand how a Chinese soldier could pinpoint a specific location deep within the ruins simply by tapping the ground lightly and listening intently for a moment. Then, other soldiers would rush forward, either smashing massive concrete blocks with a single blow—the shockwaves so intense they triggered alarms on the surrounding instruments—or tearing apart twisted steel bars with their bare hands, the metal as easily as noodles. This efficiency and speed of the rescue operation made James, a rescue expert with over twenty years of experience navigating disaster sites around the world, feel for the first time how inadequate his professional knowledge was, even somewhat laughable.

"This is completely beyond human limits! It defies all scientific principles!" The technical advisor beside James stared at the faint life signs flickering on the sophisticated equipment in his hand. These signals matched astonishingly the "deeply buried but salvageable" location indicated by Master Kunlun. The advisor's glasses nearly slipped off, and he muttered repeatedly, his eyes filled with confusion and inquiry.

Meanwhile, rescue teams from countries including Y, F, and R experienced similar awe in their respective rescue areas. They discovered that the Kunlun Division of the Dragon Kingdom demonstrated an unprecedented "human-machine collaboration" model in this disaster relief effort. The precise real-time scanning maps provided by Miao Zhiyuan's unit, combined with Su Chen's invisible and traceless divine perception, complemented each location perfectly. Every positioning was as precise as a surgical operation, greatly improving rescue efficiency and minimizing the risk of secondary injury. This rescue system, integrating "supernatural" abilities and cutting-edge technology, was unprecedented in the international rescue community.

Of particular note is the field medical station where Du Feifei worked, which became a focal point of discussion within the international medical community. Those severely wounded soldiers rescued by the Kunlun Division typically suffered from severe internal bleeding, shattered fractures, and were on the verge of death. However, after treatment by Du Feifei's team, their recovery speed was remarkably fast. What drove international medical experts most bewildered was that Du Feifei would occasionally produce a mysterious elixir that could stabilize the vital signs of wounded soldiers who would otherwise require long-term observation, and even initiate spontaneous healing within a short period after ingestion. The composition of these elixirs was unknown, and their pharmacology was difficult to understand, captivating countless top international medical professors yet leaving them utterly baffled. Analysis samples brought back by a medical team from Country F showed that the "elixir's" composition was too complex to be analyzed using current chemical methods, resembling more of a pure crystallization of life energy—a phenomenon that defied modern medical common sense.

"Our understanding of this Kunlun Division is practically nonexistent!" The report sent back home by the M Country International Rescue Team was filled with astonishment and bewilderment, describing everything they witnessed in H County.

"They are not 'super soldiers' in the individual sense, but a 'super army' with a complete system! From frontline reconnaissance to obstacle clearance, from search and rescue to battlefield medicine, and even information and communication... every link demonstrates power beyond common sense. Their actions are precise and efficient, far exceeding the scope of existing military theory." The report particularly emphasized, "The commander of this unit, Su Chen, is even more beyond our comprehension. He can flatten a mountain with a single palm strike and sense life fluctuations; his power is almost mythical!"

This report from H County, along with similar intelligence from multiple allied countries including Y, F, and R, acted like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, once again igniting an emergency meeting at the Pentagon in the United States. The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy, and the screen displayed footage of the Kunlun Division's rescue operation, clear yet inexplicable.

"What is the progress of Project Pandora? How much of a chance do our Tyrant warriors have in the face of such power?" Defense Secretary Brown asked anxiously, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles white. His gaze swept across everyone present, seeking an answer, an answer that would put his mind at ease.

Intelligence Chief Jansen's face was grave. He pulled up a set of data charts, his tone tinged with helplessness: "According to current test data, the 'Tyrant' can barely match the level of ordinary soldiers in the Kunlun Division in terms of pure strength output and physical defensive toughness. But in terms of the energy that the Chinese call 'internal force,' and the speed, tactical intelligence, and especially Commander Su Chen's eerie perception ability that we've monitored, the 'Tyrant' has absolutely no advantage!" He paused, then added, "What's worse, we haven't been able to develop any weapons or equipment that can effectively counter this 'supernatural power.' All conventional methods of attack seem to have little or no effect on it."

"This has gone beyond the realm of conventional warfare we are familiar with..." Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff James Fowler's voice was low, tinged with frustration. "Our proud military-technological superiority, our decades-long global hegemony, seem so pale and powerless in the face of this force. It's like going back to ancient times, where we only have bows and arrows, while the enemy has magic." He said self-deprecatingly, drawing a silence.

Intelligence agencies of the world's major military powers, shocked and unanimously, swiftly adjusted their strategic assessments of China. China was no longer merely a rapidly rising traditional superpower with a massive economy and military strength, but a mysterious nation possessing "extraordinary power" that remained hidden from view. Every diplomatic move, every military exercise, and even every technological advancement would be subject to unprecedented scrutiny and multi-layered interpretation. The balance of power in the world order had been utterly and silently shattered.

H County, disaster site. Su Chen stood atop a relatively intact building, his gaze sweeping over the busy rescue teams and landing on the international rescue workers in the distance, carrying various advanced equipment, yet their faces showed confusion, astonishment, and even a hint of fear. Their faces wore an extremely complex expression, a cognitive rift created by the collision of the scientific world and the extraordinary reality.

Su Chen knew that the true strength of the Kunlun Masters had been undeniably revealed to the world.

This was not merely a highly efficient rescue operation, but also a silent yet incredibly powerful strategic demonstration. It proclaimed to the world: the Dragon Kingdom is no longer a lamb to the slaughter, forced to passively endure attacks. In the coming, or rather, already arrived, extraordinary era, the Dragon Kingdom will stand proudly at the pinnacle of the world with its strongest and most confident posture. And the Kunlun Division, without a doubt, will be the most direct and sharpest manifestation of this power. Su Chen understood that the upcoming international power struggle would be more intense and complex than ever before.
