Is it because I bought a lot of medicine? Those medicines are indeed a bit expensive. It seems that my character of being a sucker is quite perfect.
However, it is indeed not very convenient to take action here, mainly because it will expose Master Sun Yang's position.
Never mind, I'll handle it myself.
Strider pretended to run towards an alley, as if he noticed someone was staring at him, and he hurriedly left for the nearest alley, ready to run away.
Those who were staring at him also started to move, quickly forming an encirclement and rushing into the alley.
These local robbers naturally didn't forget to block the alley. When Strade rushed in, he saw three thugs smoking and holding knives.
Strade stopped and looked around. There were no cameras around, otherwise these gangsters would not have committed the crime here.
Even by 2055, some areas may not be able to popularize cameras and surveillance systems.
"The local welcome ceremony is really unique," said Strade in English.
"What crap are you talking about, foreigner? Give me money! GIVE ME MONEY! GIVE DOLLAR!" The remaining few people obviously didn't understand much English and could only communicate using the most common sentences.
"You can try it." Strade rushed forward without hesitation, allowing the opponent to swing the machete at him.
Even though the materials and workmanship of a crudely made machete were inferior, it could still cut through human flesh. These thugs, who had seen blood, knew this very well.
But the blade that used to be able to easily cut through flesh and blood suddenly lost its effect. The blade could only barely leave a shallow bloody mark on the skin of the opponent's arm, and the muscle underneath was as hard as stone.
With three punches and two kicks, Strade knocked down all the thugs who were blocking the road. He looked at his arms and saw that the bloodstains on them had begun to heal.
The people who were chasing in from behind saw their companions lying on the ground, and rushed in with blades in hand in a fit of rage.
"Today is not a good day for bloodshed. You are lucky to have survived." After thinking about it, Strade still did not pick up the knife. Now that he had committed murder and was guilty, it would be much more difficult for him to continue to move around in this place.
Strade once used a large amount of soul to strengthen his body. During his long research career, Strade's body was strengthened by the soul and became stronger and stronger.
The knives wielded by these people were nothing more than toys to Strade. Although he was not proficient in martial arts, if he was much stronger than his opponent, martial arts skills were not very important.
He let the knives slash at him, then swung his fists and clumsily knocked all of them to the ground. He searched their pockets and took away all their money and cell phones.
"Another extra bit of cash, not bad. I can spend more today and continue my leisurely adventure in another city tomorrow." Strade licked his teeth, changed his clothes, and left through the alley. As long as Sun Yang didn't call him back, he would be happy to roam around the world.
However, only about two weeks later, before the miracle medicine had even been used many times, Strade and Sun Yang received some rather devastating news.
Atlas has received accurate intelligence that the KVA has attacked US nuclear facilities. The Atlas Rapid Reaction Force is mobilizing troops to defend them.
94 Preparation
Is it finally here? Finally, the original storyline has appeared.
Sun Yang forcefully halted his extravagant activities and carefully read the information shared by Atlas.
Atlas did not engage in any shady dealings with the KVA in this timeline, nor did he attempt to kill the Technicians, keeping the deadly DNA virus for himself.
Instead, this expert remained conscientiously in the lab, researching how to crack this DNA virus. After all, if he ventured out, he would likely be killed or kidnapped by KVA terrorists. Irons, on the other hand, was in no rush to use this biological weapon.
From the perspective of the original work, the nuclear power plant was able to be attacked by KVA because Ains provided the corresponding technical details and intelligence.
But now, Irons probably didn't provide any technical support. But KVA was no pushover; they had captured some nuclear energy experts elsewhere and figured out the internal structure of the nuclear power plant.
In 2048, the Atlas Group submitted a report to the Ministry of National Defense, detailing the potential hazards and safety risks of nuclear power plants.
However, the Ministry of Defense's response was to burn the report and then hire Atlas troops to guard the nuclear power plant for them. They have been doing this diligently until now.
Then, now, KVA has gone all out without Atlas opening a backdoor, launching a large-scale military operation several months earlier than the original.
Their targets began with the Pacific Reactor at Waikoloa near Seattle, and most of the developed Western world suffered from an unprecedented large-scale terrorist campaign.
These genuine terrorists, through extremely careful planning, infiltrated different nuclear power plants around the world at almost the same time and launched simultaneous attacks. KVA technicians are currently rewriting the safety protocols of the nuclear power plants in an effort to melt them all down.
Currently, a team consisting of Atlas aces Mitchell, Jadeen, Joker and others are heading to support the Vicola reactor.
With nuclear power plants around the world facing crises, both Atlas and the local garrisons were overwhelmed, busy putting out fires and engaging in battles.
However, although this incident is urgent, it actually has little to do with Sun Yang.
Even if Sun Yang wanted to get involved, he couldn't. They were under the name of the Griffin God's Punishment Sect, so it would be strange for them to help Atlas or to attack Atlas. The fighting power of humanoids was still too exaggerated compared to humans. If their identity was discovered, it would be terrible.
After all, there are many pairs of eyes from different places watching Atlas's movements.
A few days ago, someone suggested that Atlas was actually allied with the Griffin Punishment faction. The evidence for this was that Atlas took over right after the Congo War, and that three reporters were sent to Romania right after the Romania War.
However, these reasons were so far-fetched that no one paid any attention. But it at least confirmed that some high-ranking officials in the United States were considering this. Collaboration between mercenaries and terrorists is not uncommon; everyone has seen it too many times.
After much deliberation, he decided not to help Atlas with this job. It was simply too much work and no reward. He would let them handle Atlas's work on their own. Sun Yang was not going to help.
However, the KVA's early action served as a wake-up call for Sun Yang. If Atlas were to win the battle against the KVA, Irons's plan to attack the United States would likely be significantly advanced.
Taking over resources from the United States, using the latest robotic arms to recruit battlefield veterans... maybe in a few months, this guy might take action.
Taking this into consideration...Sun Yang needs to place his humanoid before Atlas is ready to do this.
"Is the battle about to start again?" M4 asked while lying next to Sun Yang.
"No, it's not about fighting. But since the KVA has already taken action, we need to start preparing as well. Thanks to the tracking program developed by Antonina, we have located the movements of over a thousand high-ranking officials."
Sun Yang opened the window and searched for the route map created by Antonina's program.
"Celebrities, investment tycoons, real estate developers, state legislators, military personnel, and financiers... even after screening, there are still over 8,000 wealthy individuals. These individuals directly or indirectly control companies large and small. Even if a humanoid kills one person, it won't be enough to quickly destroy this circle. As long as the number of those killed is small and they still have family connections, then after a few days of chaos, the remaining family members can regain power."
"If you want to quickly break through a circle, you have to eliminate most of the people at once. I don't understand the financial game, and there's a high probability that I can't beat these guys. So I can only choose what I am best at."
"You want to kill people, right? But Ayang, these people must have a lot of bodyguards around them. It's impossible to kill a large number of them in a short period of time, even if you use snipers. The location arrangement also needs to be considered." AR15 said while lying on the other side.
"So we have to choose the place where these people gather. Moreover, our iron-blooded troops finally have the opportunity to take the field." Sun Yang knocked on the window and found the information he had been thinking about.
North Beach, Fort Lauderdale, USA.
Also known as Palm Beach, this place is a historic resort. Many wealthy people come here to relax and unwind, and at certain times, a large number of tourists flock here for fun. Hundreds of people on the list also come here.
Sun Yang only needs to rent a warehouse here in advance and arrange manpower in advance.
"New York, Washington, and Palm Beach. Among them, Wall Street and the White House are the key targets. Finally, there is San Francisco. There are a considerable number of social platform headquarters in San Francisco, and these companies responsible for delivering messages will play a very important role." Sun Yang gave his planned key attack directions.
His military strength is not enough to turn every city upside down. Even if all his humanoids are thrown into a big city, they won't cause any waves.
Concentrate your forces to attack the most important cities, where the most important talents are the key.
It would be nice to distribute the troops evenly among every city, but that is not realistic.
If we do this, each city probably won't be able to even accommodate one person, and to be honest, not much can be done without one person.
While the humanoids were powerful, their combat abilities and experience varied greatly. Even though Griffin had experienced countless battles and trained a large number of elite humanoids, objectively speaking, there were still some humanoids who lacked sufficient combat experience.
Those humanoids who were eliminated upon contact probably didn't have outstanding combat capabilities. Sun Yang couldn't overestimate everyone's combat effectiveness. Many less powerful humanoids lacked the opportunity and time to hone their skills. They needed to form small teams and coordinate with each other to compensate for each other's weaknesses and fight together.
Dispersing limited forces is definitely a mistake. With fewer men, it's even more important to concentrate. After identifying several target locations, it would be better to dispatch dozens of humanoids to each target to jointly attack them.
"All our forces will be deployed to these areas. I will call them in batches. All you have to do is wait and lie in wait there. Wait for the order to be conveyed." Sun Yang looked at the window and made a decision first.
"Most of the attack targets are concentrated on the East Coast. The West Coast only has one social network headquarters in San Francisco. I will transfer most of the troops to the East Coast. The T-dolls on the West Coast need to be prepared to fight alone."
Sun Yang raised his head and looked at the girls around him. Everyone's expression was normal.
"Given the need for cyberattack capabilities on the West Coast...M4, you need to bring your electronic warfare capabilities to bear, and the AR team needs to be responsible for the fight on the West Coast."
"No problem, leave it to us." M4 accepted the difficult task as a matter of course.
"I haven't finished yet. You need to bring Antonina and Drase. The former will provide electronic warfare support, and the latter will provide body repair and engineering support. I don't want any of you to get your brains fried and unable to replace parts. You'll also be assigned agents. M4, you will command these people."
"I'm supposed to command these people?" M4's expression stiffened. She had never commanded an Oasis T-doll or an agent in battle before.
"Antonina and Drasay have already upgraded to high-performance suits and are currently getting used to them. However, their primary mission isn't combat, but support and escape. Antonina and Drasay are well aware of this."
"My question is what their combat experience is..." M4 didn't dare to fight with newbies who lacked combat experience.
"The humanoids in Oasis have also experienced brutal battles. The enemies they face are no weaker than those in reality," Pascal interjected, then looked at Sun Yang with some disappointment, "Professor, don't you want me to go?"
"What are you going to do? Antonina and Delace have gone to work. You just go there with a gun and provide some fire support. Pascal, just do your job well, that's the biggest help." Sun Yang touched Pascal's pink hair.
"Every time I see Ayang touching Pascal with such a doting look on his face, I get a chill down my spine... Oh my God, Ayang not only got us into his hands, he also got Pascal, the man Dr. Pascal created. Sometimes I feel like Ayang is fucking a human Dr. Pascal. It's really hard to imagine; just thinking about that scene gives me cold sweats." AR15 hugged his arms and shuddered.
"Maybe the professor just likes this feeling~" Pascal hugged Sun Yang, and his plump fruit pressed against Sun Yang's arm.
"Ahem, don't interrupt. Also, I will also support a few T-dolls with good combat capabilities to help you in the Oasis. These T-dolls are not very good at teamwork, so it's up to you how to use them." Sun Yang sent the information about the T-dolls that he planned to give to M4 to M4.
"Evelyn, Parsons, and Ximo...their combat capabilities are indeed very reliable. But will they obey my orders? They must have been active for quite some time."
"They all come from the military and know the importance of following orders." Sun Yang brought up another small screen in the window and made a voice call. "Pasen, the disobedient team. Please respond if you hear me."
[The communication signal is good, Professor.] Pai Sen picked up the voice communication.
"Your punishment is over, return to the team. There is a new task." Sun Yang gave the order directly without saying anything else.
[Yes.] Pai Sen agreed immediately without any objection. Then Sun Yang heard a few scattered noises: the rebellious team squatting nearby were packing up their things.
"I'll give you a week to return. It's up to you whether you come back immediately or take the time to finish the things you can't let go of. I need to see you in front of me after a week." Sun Yang thought about it and added.
[Yes, I will return to the team as soon as possible.] Pai Sen's response was as clear and concise as ever.
Sun Yang hung up the call and explained things to the other humanoids.
Antonina and Drasay replied, "Got it." Evelyn and Shimo's explanations were similar. Their daily duties were patrolling and security at the base, and when they weren't working, they'd pursue hobbies or something.
But ultimately, they were still military T-dolls, born in the military. Even if they were later transferred to other systems to continue their work, the impact of this past experience could not be erased.
Sun Yang continued to make the call, this time it was Strade.
"What's wrong, Master Sun Yang?" Strider said vaguely.
"I may be preparing for a large-scale attack. Strade, please don't mess things up. I still need your strength. Don't die somewhere or be detained." Sun Yang said earnestly.
"Don't worry, it'll only take me two or three days to get from here to your place." Strider laughed. It seemed his journey around the globe had reignited the old man's spirit; his tone of voice seemed even younger.
Sun Yang did not plan to call Strade back now. He wanted to call back the T-dolls outside because he wanted them to change their bodies and test new weapons.
The team members also need some running-in, as well as tactical arrangements during the preparation process. These humanoids also need to receive training in the virtual space.
There's no point in calling this guy Strade back. Just prepare the equipment you need before the battle and wait for him to come and give it to you.
Sun Yang didn't intend to let him fight alongside the humanoids; that would surely turn into a disaster. He couldn't even manage such a high-level task as mixing humans and humanoids. Forcing them together was better than letting each do their own thing.
Sun Yang opened the window and slowly arranged the positions of the figures. These were things that needed constant adjustment. If there was new information or new ideas, the plan could be modified before it began.
"By the way, Commander, where are you going? The World Trade Center? Wall Street? Or the White House?" Gou Zi finally interrupted.
"Then I must go to the White House." Sun Yang said without hesitation.
95 The Atlas Group seems to be encroaching on the American mainland.
The large-scale terrorist attack caused by KVA lasted for several hours before it ended, and ended with the complete annihilation of the KVA attack force.
From a global perspective, although most attacks were defended by local defenders, some nuclear power plants were still breached, resulting in heavy losses.
The nuclear power plant in Seattle was the main target of attack. This area suffered a very fierce attack from KVA. The technical experts they hired were very skilled and almost blew up the nuclear power plant.
Fortunately, Atlas's super technicians carried out emergency repairs on the nuclear power plant, and the protagonist team's combat effectiveness was very strong, which prevented the nuclear power plant from being completely scrapped.
However, the nuclear power plant has been shut down for maintenance and it is estimated that it will take a long time to repair.
But the problem is that the main function of a nuclear power plant is to supply electricity. If your power supply equipment breaks down, what will happen to the places that use electricity?
It was still winter, and without the power from the nuclear power plant, downtown Seattle immediately fell into an energy crisis. A large number of facilities were shut down, and the lives of local residents were immediately severely challenged.
In the first few days, important institutions in the city, such as hospitals, police stations, and railway stations, were able to maintain operations using backup diesel generators and backup energy.
But these reserves are not designed to cope with a long-term energy crisis. Local residents will be without electricity for up to a week. By that time, the residents of Seattle will be in crisis.
News across the United States began reporting on what was happening in Seattle.
Several local Seattle government officials appeared on the news, declaring their faith in the resilience of the people of Seattle, believing they would not bow down in the face of disaster. They said the citizens of Seattle were strong and brave men whose will could not be broken by the mere cold of winter.
But what's puzzling is that the US government doesn't seem to care much about supporting Seattle, and apart from a lot of passionate nonsense, the news doesn't mention anything about aid.
Of course, there was some actual aid, but it was surrounded by reporters and cameras from various television stations. News media outlets from all over the world were covering the same fleet of vehicles. Under the cameras' lens, the vehicles, after stopping at the nuclear power plant, immediately took off. These vehicles, loaded with supplies, continued to rush into Seattle.
However, according to the information passed on by Atlas intelligence agents, these supplies only filled more than 100 trucks, and all of them were delivered to the city government.
When Sun Yang heard this, he didn't find it strange. It was a uniform distribution, which was normal. But weren't these more than 100 cars a little too few?
However, Atlas agents later reported that the 100 truckloads of supplies had been delivered to City Hall and nothing had happened since. Half a day later, black markets began to emerge in various parts of Seattle, selling these essential survival supplies at exorbitant prices. Some of the supplies even had their labels still on.
As for whether Seattle residents can send messages, I'm sorry, but due to insufficient energy and poor local signal quality, some of your messages may not be sent.
Post these texts and pictures after leaving Seattle? Go ahead, but whether anyone else sees them is another matter. Spread it by word of mouth? How much can you spread? I just post a few bombshell announcements on social media and no one cares.
