The warmth of the courtyard house did not last long.

When Liu Ming hung up the secure red phone from Zhongnanhai, the warm, intimate atmosphere that had just begun to rise in the room was instantly replaced by a cold, steely aura of ruthlessness.

"What happened?"

Xi Wanqing was washing dishes in the kitchen when she sensed the sudden change in Liu Ming's aura. She stopped what she was doing, her eyes filled with worry.

Liu Ming did not answer immediately.

He walked to the wall in the living room and unfurled what appeared to be an ordinary landscape painting.

Behind the painting was a huge, embedded electronic warfare map!

He flipped the switch.

The map lit up instantly, and the entire territory of China was clearly displayed before our eyes.

Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous area on the southwestern border, bordering a small country, a blinding red light, representing the highest level of alert, is flashing!

"Is there trouble at the border?"

Lin Xiaoxiao also came over. After all, she grew up in a military compound and immediately recognized the military value of the map and the seriousness represented by the red dot.

"It's not a problem."

Liu Ming's gaze became more serious than ever before.

He pointed to the enlarged area on the map, an area with extremely complex terrain, his voice deep and resonant, like a block of unmelted ice.

"It's...war."

"war?"

The three women exclaimed in surprise at the same time!

They couldn't believe that in this peaceful era, those two words would come out of Liu Ming's mouth so easily!

"Half an hour ago."

Liu Ming's voice was devoid of any emotion, as if she were reciting a cold battle report.

"A scientific expedition team of thirty top scientists sent by our country to conduct geological exploration in this region suddenly lost contact with the rear."

"The last encrypted signal that came back indicated that they had been attacked by an unidentified armed force."

"The people are now trapped in the primeval jungle codenamed 'Death Valley.' Their fate is unknown."

"And that armed force not only cut off all communications, but also laid heavy troops and...landmines at the only exit of the canyon."

"Their equipment was extremely sophisticated. It was all American equipment, and they were even equipped with portable Stinger anti-aircraft missiles."

"Then...then quickly send the army to rescue them!" Nangong Yao said anxiously.

"no."

Liu Ming shook her head.

"That place is geographically extremely sensitive. It's a no-man's-land at the junction of three countries."

"Deploying a large force rashly could easily trigger international disputes and uncontrollable military conflicts."

"More importantly..."

Liu Ming paused, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between her teeth!

"...That place holds something we are determined to obtain..."

He pulled up a geological survey report on the electronic map, which was also classified as S-level top secret.

The report contained an extremely rare chemical element symbol that left all the women present, who couldn't understand it, feeling a strange sense of suffocation!

"What...is this?"

"Superconducting rare earth elements".

Liu Ming's voice became increasingly hoarse.

"A super strategic resource that exists only in theory and can achieve 'zero resistance' at room temperature."

"Its value is ten thousand times greater than gold, and a hundred times more important than oil!"

"Whoever controls it controls the lifeline of the next industrial revolution!"

"And we just discovered the world's only exploitable...large mineral vein in that 'Death Valley'!"

"This news was leaked by someone, I don't know who."

"That's why this attack happened."

"Their purpose is very clear."

"They're not just trying to steal our scientists and exploration data."

"They also want to completely seize that gold mine, which is capable of changing the future world order!"

……

Dead silence.

The entire courtyard was deathly silent.

The three women were completely stunned by the earth-shattering information revealed in Liu Ming's words, information that was enough to make the entire country tremble!

They finally understood.

This is no longer a simple hostage crisis.

This is a national war that will determine the fate of the nation for the next century!

"so……"

Xi Wanqing looked at Liu Ming's resolute profile, which was as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, and her voice trembled.

"...They're sending you?"

Liu Ming remained silent.

He simply turned around slowly.

Walk to the corner, to the black military tactical case that has never been opened.

"Click".

The latch pops open.

There was no gold or silver treasure inside.

There was only one set of neatly folded jungle camouflage clothing that had been washed until it was somewhat faded.

And that jet-black dagger that emitted a chilling blue light... the Dragon Fang Dagger.

He slowly took off the Zhongshan suit he was wearing, a symbol of power and status.

Then, one by one, he put on that set of battle robes that represented slaughter and death!

As he sheathed the cold military dagger back into its scabbard on his side.

That instant.

The gentle and witty director of the National Development and Reform Commission has disappeared.

Instead, it was replaced by a weapon of war that exuded a terrifying killing intent that seemed almost tangible!

It was that guy who once struck fear into the hearts of countless drug lords and mercenaries on the border... "Shura"!

"You...you're going?"

Xi Wanqing's eyes instantly reddened.

"Um."

Liu Ming nodded, her voice eerily calm.

"Regular troops can't go."

"Only we, these 'ghosts' that don't exist on the map, can sneak in unnoticed."

"Bring the person out."

"And those hands that shouldn't have reached out..."

He paused, a terrifying killing intent flashing in his eyes!

"...chop them all up, one by one!"

He walked to the map and looked at the "Valley of Death" that was flashing a blood-red light in the darkness.

A wild and bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

he knows.

His peaceful career as a "national hero" has come to an end.

What awaits him next is an ultimate challenge that is more brutal and bloodier than ever before!

He picked up the red, encrypted phone on the table.

He dialed the number that was once the most familiar and dearest to him.

"Feed? Yes, a lone wolf?"

"it's me."

"Pass the word down."

"Dragon Fang" returns to the team.

"Assemble at the base in ten minutes."

"Ready..."

He looked at the huge world map on the wall and said, word by word:

"...Let's start the war!"
