Chapter 678: Death God of Love
Once the two ard helicopters left the boundaries of Jiangning City, Zhu Zheng locked his eyes on the screen, his gaze sharp and rciless as he pressed the launch button for the Death God of Love.
From a hidden underground silo, a massive missile slowly erged, followed by a surge of blue-violet flas, propelling it toward the sky.
This move imdiately caught the attention of major powers around the world.
"Soone has launched the Death God of Love! Oh my god, has the mont finally co?"
"Confird, this Death God of Love was launched from Huaxu Nation, Jiangnan District."
(Note: Huaxu — the mother of Fuxi and Nuwa, referred to as the Ancestress. For reasons everyone understands, we'll use 'Huaxu Nation' to refer to the holand from now on.)
"Investigate imdiately what happened there!"
...
The mont the Death God of Love launched into the sky, the entire world got the news, and it ant this incident could no longer be concealed.
Two minutes later, a massive mushroom cloud rose over the center of Jiangning City.
The terrifying heat obliterated everything there, and the enormous electromagnetic shockwave caused several surrounding cities to temporarily lose communication and electricity.
Zhu Zheng collapsed heavily into his chair, his heart weighed down with indescribable heaviness.
In the end, he had to deploy the Death God of Love — just because of a single Superhuman team.
Even if they won, it was far from anything glorious.
But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a staff mber imdiately reported:
"Commander, satellite surveillance has detected traces of the Moon of Corrosion. They... they escaped!"
Zhu Zheng's pupils shrank sharply. He shot to his feet in disbelief and barked, "Escaped? That's impossible! No matter how fast they are, there's no way they could outrun the Death God of Love's explosion!"
The staff mber's face darkened as he displayed the satellite feed to Zhu Zheng.
"Based on satellite intel, they actually left the blast center about ten minutes ago."
Although the jamming device prevented the satellite from visually tracking Moon of Corrosion, it was still possible to infer their location.
It was like a blank hole appearing on the map — extrely obvious.
Everyone, including Zhu Zheng, felt a chill crawl up their spine.
Even the Death God of Love couldn't touch them?
What a ridiculous coincidence!
They had been in the city center just a few minutes ago — how could they have fled so quickly?
It was almost as if... they had known in advance that the Death God of Love would be used!
Zhu Zheng slumped back into his chair, looking like half his soul had been sucked out of him.
This ti, he was utterly disgraced.
And this operation would cause Jiangnan District’s prestige — and his own — to plumt to rock bottom.
Calling it an embarrassnt would be putting it lightly.
Sun Luxuan glanced at Zhu Zheng.
He had wanted to say sothing, but seeing Zhu Zheng’s deadened expression, he stayed silent.
As he turned his head, he made eye contact with Tu Yunlie, the Chief of Operations.
The two exchanged a look, a silent understanding passing between them.
Both their expressions turned grave.
Because they finally realized the true foundation behind the Moon of Corrosion.
They could foresee the future.
That was the ability their enemy possessed.
And suddenly, everything made sense.
Why Jiangnan District’s forces, despite having the ho field advantage, kept being outmaneuvered.
No matter what tactics they planned, they were always seen through — their personnel movents constantly suppressed.
It wasn’t that the Celestial Squad couldn't beat the Moon of Corrosion.
It was that the Moon of Corrosion could always co up with perfect counterasures, making every fight incredibly comfortable for their side.
Even the deploynt of the Death God of Love had been predicted, allowing them to escape unscathed.
That kind of ability... filled one with a deep, crushing despair.
Who could defeat an enemy who could see the future?
However, Tu Yunlie soon spotted a flaw.
The Moon of Corrosion’s seer couldn’t predict the future perfectly.
Because they had lost five mbers too.
One of them was the female ninja, Naruse Hanachiyo, who was instantly killed by Deng Shentong.
And the other four...
Tu Yunlie’s head snapped up, a strange light gleaming in his eyes.
It seed he had found the best way to deal with the Moon of Corrosion.
That’s right — Zhang Yi!
From the very beginning, no one paid attention to this Superhuman from the Outer City.
But later, he had single-handedly taken down four mbers of the Moon of Corrosion!
Even if two of them were sowhat flukes...
At that ti, the Moon of Corrosion’s No. 2, Shinguuji Seiichiro, had been nearby.
Yet Zhang Yi had scared Shinguuji into backing off head-on — that proved that his strength wasn’t nearly as simple as it seed!
At the very least, he was Vice-Captain level — maybe even Captain level!
Tu Yunlie’s gaze sharpened.
He believed the headquarters needed to have a serious conversation with Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi might be the key to destroying the Moon of Corrosion!
anwhile, Lan Xincheng wasn't idle either.
Zhu Zheng, crushed by defeat, was in no state to manage affairs.
As Zhu Zheng’s secretary, Lan Xincheng had to clean up the ss.
He pushed up his gold-rimd glasses with the palm of his hand, clasped both hands behind his back, and stood proudly in the center of the Operations Command Center.
Then he spoke loudly:
"Regarding this battle, everyone present today is strictly forbidden from leaking any information to the outside!"
"If I discover anyone leaking information, they will be stripped of their Blizzard City residency and expelled!"
The staff mbers froze at his words.
Many secretly thought: They’re trying to seal everyone’s mouths? But with such a massive defeat, can they really keep it hidden?
Tu Yunlie gave Lan Xincheng a glance but said nothing.
Internal affairs weren’t his responsibility — Lan Xincheng could do whatever he wanted.
A staff mber cautiously asked, "But this defeat is too big. Even if we don’t say anything, plenty of people know — like the frontline troops."
Lan Xincheng said coldly, "They’ll be inford as well — no leaks allowed!"
"From today onward, no one in Blizzard City is allowed to privately discuss this incident."
"We destroyed half of the Moon of Corrosion’s mbers during this operation and achieved a glorious victory! Have the news station broadcast this imdiately to the entire city."
Everyone understood — Lan Xincheng was creating an information cocoon, preventing most of the city from learning the truth about their defeat.
Because in the apocalypse, the last thing they could afford was unrest and internal collapse.
Baili Changqing interjected, "We can control other areas, but what about the Deng Family?"
Deng Shentong’s death was a massive blow to the Deng Family.
After all, Deng Shentong had been their most promising successor, and the family didn't have many descendants — even Deng Yuanbo himself had no children.
Would they really be able to silence the Deng Family?
Lan Xincheng fell silent too. His brows twisted into a knot, and after a long mont, he said heavily:
"We’ll have to go talk to the Deng Family... and hope they’ll put the bigger picture first."
Unless Zhu Zheng personally intervened, Lan Xincheng, as a re secretary, probably wouldn't have the pull to convince them.
