Chapter 403: Chapter 201: One Hundred Thousand Merits_2

At that moment, thousands of miles away, Yan Fei suddenly felt a warning surge within him. He instinctively commanded the drone to dive rapidly beneath the water’s surface. Then he saw a white light flash on the distant horizon, a beam sliced through the sky, sweeping over the spot where the drone had just been hovering. As it so happened, the two SM-2 Air Defense Missiles had just reached that location. During the brief glimmer, the white light actually sliced one of the missile bodies in half, causing a violent explosion. The other missile, following the drone, dived into the water and exploded underwater.

When Yan Fei noticed the disturbance on the sea, he was startled and urgently maneuvered the drone to dive rapidly, reaching the maximum diving depth of 600 meters in the shortest time and then sped away to the south.

It turned out that the white light at the edge of the sky was a high-energy laser emitted from an aircraft above. The laser weapon, with just a single sweep, had sliced one of the SM-2 Air Defense Missile bodies in two, demonstrating the laser’s frightening capability. If it weren’t for Yan Fei’s Spiritual Soul becoming more robust after several rending experiences, granting him some mysterious ability to predict, the drone would have been hit by the laser weapon just now.

It reminded Yan Fei of the painful encounter when the drone was first disassembled; the drone hovering above the ocean was ambushed by an aircraft-mounted laser weapon from Japan, resulting in the drone being dismembered by the laser into several pieces. This caused the physical Yan Fei in Shanghai to suffer along, completely losing combat power and almost allowing Hideo Oogawa from the Oogawa Family to take advantage cheaply.

This time, the drone encountered a laser attack on the ocean surface, and judging by the direction of the laser weapon attack, it seemed to have come from the western coastal region of Japan, over five hundred kilometers away. It was unclear whether this laser attack originated from Japan or from the U.S. forces stationed there. However, fortunately, the aircraft carrying the laser weapon had not launched an attack previously; at that time, the drone was still midair, completely unable to dodge the attack and inevitably facing dismemberment.

But from the timing of the aircraft-mounted laser weapon’s attack, it seemed rather hasty. Most likely, upon realizing the drone’s escape, the conspirator behind this plot scrambled to mobilize forces to pursue and block the drone. The laser weapon, too, had taken off from an airport following orders only after the drone was discovered, explaining why it appeared so long after the fact. Regrettably, its attack came a fraction too late, and it allowed Yan Fei to preemptively sense danger and submerge, thus evading the attack.

Laser weapons attack at incredibly high speeds, almost impossible to defend against. Although they can target drones in the air, once a drone dives into the ocean, the laser attack becomes ineffective. So once the drone submerged 600 meters deep into the seabed, there was virtually no need to worry about any weapons reaching it.

This time, in a moment of impulsive reflection, Yan Fei had undertaken the task to destroy the THAAD System, not realizing it was a massive conspiracy against him. Fortunately, Yan Fei was very cautious and had not prematurely accepted the task on the Dark Web. Moreover, he had chosen to travel through the deep sea while en route to South Korea, having not revealed his whereabouts in advance, preventing the enemy from setting up an encirclement in time.

It was only after the drone entered the THAAD System Base in Xingzhou County, South Korea, and launched a ferocious attack that it was discovered by the enemy. But by then, the counterattack devised by the conspirator seemed very rushed and chaotic, which allowed the drone to successfully escape before the encirclement tightened. Then, during the aerial combat, it bizarrely managed to eliminate its primary target, the THAAD System, and incidentally destroyed two South Korean missile destroyers, achieving a significant victory.

This also highlighted one fact: the strength of the drone was exceptional. Although there are still many weapons on Earth that can threaten it, in general combat situations, the drone is already capable of handling most scenarios. Especially when the opposition isn’t prepared, the drone can come and go as it pleases, staying or leaving at will. This was the biggest reason Yan Fei came to South Korea, despite considering that it might be a conspiracy.

Traveling at 600 meters deep on the ocean floor towards the south, the drone began to slow down after covering some distance. The slower the drone’s speed during its submarine journey, the less noise it made, and the less likely it was to be detected by the enemy’s sonar.

Not long after the drone embarked on its southern voyage, a tremendous explosion finally rocked the deck of the burning Cheoyong. It turned out the fire had spread to the weapon storage, where the ammunition ignited in the flames. The enormous explosion riddled the Cheoyong with countless holes, puncturing the vessel all over. Subsequently, water began flooding in massively, and the Cheoyong capsized. Ten minutes later, the vessel sank to the ocean floor, leaving behind a group of utterly terrified South Korean navy soldiers on the sea surface…

A few minutes later, a large number of combat aircraft flew over this area of the sea. Among them were several anti-submarine planes that circled the area where the drone had submerged and continuously dropped sonar equipment in an attempt to locate the submerged drone. More warships rapidly approached the incident area, including not only South Korean warships but also those from The United States of America and Japan. They surrounded the area, and in conjunction with the information from the anti-submarine aircraft in the sky, tried to force the drone beneath the surface to emerge.

However, these people were destined to be disappointed because the drone had already left the area far behind, and their efforts here were in vain.

In the deep-sea bed of the southern maritime region, the drone was navigating underwater. Although its speed wasn’t very fast, two hours later, the drone had already distanced itself from the incident area, and no one could lock onto its position. At this time, the drone accelerated to its maximum speed and dashed toward China’s territorial waters.

More than two hours later, soon after passing Jeju Island, the drone finally encountered a shortage of Energy Points. Yan Fei was somewhat helpless; when the drone flew in the air, a single data refresh of full Energy Points could even allow it to cross the entire Pacific Ocean. However, the same Energy Points used for underwater navigation could only allow the drone to travel up to 1000 kilometers.

The drone had refreshed its data at midnight Shanghai time earlier that night, then it began the battle to destroy the THAAD System. It had been consuming Energy Points throughout, so by the time it got close to Jeju Island, the Energy Points had become insufficient. Since there was a problem with the Energy Points, Yan Fei had no choice but to hide the drone in an ocean trench on the seabed, silently waiting for the next data refresh.

The drone’s sortie this time, although calculated against, triumphed over those scheming against it with its strength, a case of one overpowering many. The drone came and went with ease and grace, and no one could detain it. During this period, not only did the drone destroy The United States of America’s THAAD System deployed in South Korea, but it also sank two South Korean warships at sea. These military exploits also brought a large number of Merit Points to the drone.

In the Auxiliary Brain, the Merit Points obtained by the drone during this sortie were clearly recorded:

For launching missiles in South Korean airspace, destroying one THAAD System set (six missile launch vehicles, one fire control radar vehicle, one command vehicle), 5000 Merit Points (a set of THAAD System is worth 5000 Merit Points); for launching missiles at sea and sinking the South Korean navy’s Aegis Missile Destroyer Sejong the Great, 20000 Merit Points (a Sejong the Great destroyer is worth 20000 Merit Points); sinking the South Korean navy’s Aegis Missile Destroyer Choi Young, 15000 Merit Points (a Choi Young destroyer is worth 15000 Merit Points); a total of 786 persons killed in this sortie, earning 786 Merit Points.

The total number of Merit Points earned in this sortie was 40786, adding to the drone’s previous Merit Points of 61359, the total Merit Points was now 102145. The drone needed 100000 Merit Points to upgrade from Level 4 to Level 5, and this number meant that the drone had met the required Merit Points for this upgrade.
