Chapter 191 The Meetup Part 1
Fifteen minutes earlier at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, Violet and Seo-Jun arrived as instructed by their master. The location was Gwanghwamun Palace, an iconic tourist attraction in Seoul. Unlike its usual crowded state, the square was now eerily empty due to the ongoing apocalypses, save for the occasional grains and moans of the zombies nearby, giving the place an unusual sense of abandonment.
Violet looked around the site, looking for her big brother, or master. But despite her search, she couldn't see him.
"Could it be that we are a minute late?" Violet asked. "Big brother tends to be
punctual and doesn't like to wait."
Seo-Jun checked her watch and then scanned the area. "We are on time. But there's no sign of him yet. Maybe he's observing us from somewhere nearby."
The two continued to wait, occasionally glancing around to spot any signs of their master or any other unusual activity. Moments later, the zombies that plagued the landmark began to disperse, moving away from the square in an organized manner. This sudden change in behavior was unusual for the zombies, indicating that they were possibly being commanded or controlled.
Violet and Seo-Jun observed the dispersing zombies; there's only one man on this planet who can do such a feat.
Violet suddenly felt a familiar sensation—a surge of ecstatic energy that she had come to associate with the presence of her master. "He's here," she whispered, a mix of relief and excitement in her voice.
Her eyes intensely searched the surroundings, trying to pinpoint the exact location of their master. "I can feel him. He's close."
Seo-Jun's expression turned serious as she prepared for their master's appearance.
As Seo-Jun and Violet stayed alert, a figure emerged from the shadows of the surrounding buildings. It was Lin Feng.
Behind Lin Feng, thirty individuals wearing black cloaks trailed. Each moved with purpose and discipline, clearly well-trained and in sync with their leader's intentions. The sight of this entourage added to the already intense atmosphere of the square.
Violet's face lit up with recognition and respect as she saw Lin Feng.
"Big brother!" she greeted as she rushed up to him, spreading her arms and embracing Lin Feng tightly. The relief and affection in her gesture were evident. It had been a while since they last saw each other, and Violet thought she would never see him again.
Lin Feng returned the embrace briefly. Violet," he acknowledged softly, then gently pushed her back to arm's length, looking into her eyes. "I'm glad that you are safe, both of you."
Violet stepped back, a smile of relief and happiness on her face. Seo-Jun, meanwhile, maintained a respectful distance, nodding in acknowledgment of Lin Feng's presence.
Lin Feng then turned to address both of them. "Blackwatch is truly an enemy of our existence eh? They have modern weapons that aren't even available in their country's Armed Forces. So there are things that I'd like to discuss personally and we'll do it here. Tell me what you find out about Blackwatch."
"Well, big brother," Violet began. "They are a private militia, they seem to have vast resources in military equipment. Missiles, artillery shells, they pounded us with a lot."
"What else?" Lin Feng prompted her to continue.
"The technology they used, seems advanced. One of the soldiers is wearing a combat suit that could withstand a lot of damage, even surviving a direct hit from an arsenal Seo-Jun possessed," Violet continued.
Lin Feng glanced at Seo-Jun, causing her to straighten herself up.
"The fighter jet they were using is an F-35 Lightning II, a highly advanced stealth multirole combat aircraft. They also had access to hypersonic missiles. I'm sure of it because I didn't know we were hit by that."
Lin Feng nodded occasionally along with their report. "But the two of you caused so much damage on their side, is that correct?"
Violet and Seo-jun nodded confidently.
"We even killed Andrea, the ones that turned her back against you, big brother," Violet added.
"Very well…if Blackwatch was only in Japan or China, we would have crushed them utterly. But they are based in the Philippines. I'm going to fight them but not now as I don't think we have enough forces to take them on. The fact that they have American weaponry already convinced me that they have something up their sleeves."
"Speaking of forces, big brother, it seems that our numbers increased?" Violet noticed as she glanced at the hooded figures behind him.
"Ah…they are my finest collections. Individuals that aren't nearly as strong as you but enough. I'm building an army of prototype individuals with super-enhanced strengths and abilities. We'll get more once we get to Japan."
"I see," Violet nodded understandingly. "Well, I guess it's going to be a fierce competition as they devote themselves to you, master."
As they were speaking, one of Lin Feng's closest associates, Su Xue, snapped her eyes as she felt something.
"Something is heading in our direction, and fast," Su Xue said, alerting Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt it too, the hairs on the back of his neck and his arms standing on end. His instincts immediately told him they were in imminent danger.
"It's in the sky," Su Xue added calmly.
Lin Feng craned his neck up and saw a bright speck in the sky, rapidly growing larger as it approached them.
"That's a missile," Lin Feng stated.
"No, that's not an ordinary missile!" Su Xue raised her voice as she realized what they were dealing with. "Based on its appearance…it seems to be an SS-18 Satan! It's nuclear!"
Su Xue was reliable when it came to technicalities and information, and there was no hesitation for Lin Feng. If that is what she said it is, then he'll have to brace for it.
He spread his arms, and a thick biomass began to sprout behind him, forming a scaffolding of organic matter, resembling a dome. The structure rapidly expanded, creating a protective barrier around Lin Feng, Violet, Seo-Jun, and the group of cloaked individuals.
"Everyone, take cover!" Lin Feng ordered.
The missile was hurtling towards them at an incredible speed. Lin Feng's shield continued to grow, thickening and strengthening in preparation for the impact.
Violet and Seo-Jun quickly moved closer to him, and so did the cloaked individuals.
Just seconds before impact, Lin Feng braced himself, focusing all his energy on the shield. The group huddled behind it, holding their breath as the missile struck.
As the missile struck, a deafening explosion engulfed the area. The ground trembled violently, and the air was filled with a blinding light and intense heat. Lin Feng's shield absorbed the brunt of the blast, but the effort visibly drained him. His knees buckled slightly, and a pained grunt escaped his lips.
"Argh!"
The protective dome Lin Feng had created shook violently under the immense force of the explosion. The shockwave from the impact sent ripples through the biomass shield, causing it to shudder and creak. Lin Feng, at the center of the dome, clenched his teeth, his face contorted in pain as he struggled to maintain the shield. His health bar was rapidly depleting.
Violet and Seo-Jun watched in alarm as Lin Feng's strength waned. They could see the physical strain on his body; sweat poured down his face, and his arms trembled under the pressure.
"Hold on, big brother!"
Finally, with a loud groan of exertion, Lin Feng collapsed to his knees, the shield disintegrating around them. The group was now exposed, surrounded by the aftermath of the explosion.
