Chapter 386 Chaos Intensifies, The Situation Gets Out of Control
instance, the battle between Kean and the leader of the rescue team had entered an extremely intense phase.
In terms of strength, the two were actually quite evenly matched, so it was nearly impossible to determine a clear victor in their fight. Although the leader of the rescue team had sustained some injuries during the previous helicopter explosion, Kean had also exhausted a considerable amount of his own physical strength in the previous actions.
During the battle, Kean began to realize that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for him. Although
The Person in the Mirror
\'s actions in the capital had thrown the city into chaos and delayed the movements of other forces within the capital, the
Persons in the Mirror
themselves weren\'t particularly powerful. Once the military headquarters and the federal authorities realized what was going on, the
Persons in the Mirror
would quickly be wiped out.
Kean absolutely couldn\'t afford to stay in the capital for too long. Moreover, he could not allow his true identity to be discovered by anyone else.
Therefore, as the battle progressed, Kean continuously moved toward the outskirts of the capital. The leader of the rescue team quickly realized Kean\'s intentions.
Coldly, he asked, "You not only betrayed me. You\'ve betrayed all of humanity, haven\'t you?"
Kean, of course, gave no response to the leader\'s question. Instead, he smiled and said, "Do you want to know the answer? If you do, then come and catch me!"
As soon as Kean finished speaking, a dazzling beam of sunlight shot directly toward the leader of the rescue team. Although the leader had prepared himself, he was still affected by the blinding light.
For a moment, he couldn\'t see where Kean had gone. When the blinding light dissipated, Kean had already vanished.
The leader of the rescue team\'s mood was now extremely foul. He quickly scanned his surroundings. Although Kean had disappeared, he still had the distinct feeling that Kean was nearby. Kean must have just hidden himself.
While the leader of the rescue team remained on high alert, scanning his surroundings, he continued to move cautiously toward the military headquarters. Although he believed he should hurry to avenge his fallen teammates, after his battle with Kean, he had come to realize that Kean was not someone who could be easily eliminated.
So, the leader of the rescue team moved at a very slow pace. While this approach would waste a lot of time, it at least ensured his safety.
After more than ten minutes, the leader of the rescue team finally reached the vicinity of the military headquarters once again. However, at that moment, the sound of a violent explosion erupted from within the building.
The military headquarters had been destroyed by a massive bomb. Although the building itself was incredibly sturdy, once a powerful explosion went off inside, the people within had no chance of escaping.
The leader of the rescue team stared in disbelief at the thick, billowing smoke rising from the wreckage of the headquarters.
"This... How is this possible?!"
In that instant, the leader felt as though his entire worldview had collapsed. He never in a million years would have imagined that the military headquarters would fall into such chaos.
And as the leader of the rescue team stood frozen, Kean made his move.
Surging with the power of the sun, Kean appeared instantly at the leader\'s side.
"You actually dared to let your guard down while fighting me! Seems like you really don\'t care about your own life!"
By the time the leader heard Kean\'s voice, it was already too late.
Kean\'s powerful strike severed the leader\'s left arm in an instant. The searing pain from the injury caused the leader to falter, unable to continue fighting for the moment.
In desperation, the leader of the rescue team threw a device from his backpack.
This was an item he had acquired during a previous instance, and its effect was to create a dense fog upon activation.
The leader of the rescue team planned to use the fog to escape. However, his plan ultimately failed.
Before he could activate the device, Kean seized the opportunity and attacked. Under the relentless assault from Kean, the leader of the rescue team eventually couldn\'t hold on any longer. Kean successfully killed him.
But Kean didn\'t leave right away. He felt that he needed to burn the body of the rescue team leader as well.
"O mighty
Sun
! Grant me your powerful strength! Let me turn all the evil in the world to ash!" Kean prayed aloud.
A brilliant beam of sunlight shot toward the leader\'s body. Under the searing light, the leader\'s remains quickly turned to dust.
With that, Kean lifted his gaze toward the military headquarters. All the exits of the building were spewing thick, black smoke. Though some sounds still came from inside, it was clear that the casualties within were catastrophic.
"I\'ve been preparing for this operation for a long time! You think you can easily handle my attack? Impossible! The chaos has only just begun! You will soon lose complete control of the capital!" Kean said with a smile, before transforming into a beam of light and vanishing.
Kean\'s words were indeed accurate. After the military headquarters came under attack, neither the military nor the extraordinary individuals directly controlled by the federal government could maintain order in the capital. The capital quickly descended into total chaos.
Meanwhile, the federal leadership was still in the midst of an emergency meeting. The faces of everyone present were grim.
Stay tuned with empire
Marshal Daniel, the commander of the military headquarters, was in an extremely foul mood. He had already heard the deafening explosions coming from the direction of the headquarters. Although he didn\'t yet know the full extent of the situation, there was no doubt that the military headquarters had sustained a serious blow.
"Why is everyone suddenly silent? Didn\'t you all have so much to say earlier? Weren\'t you constantly pushing your own plans in front of me before? So why is everyone mute now?"
Edgar, the highest-ranking leader of the federal government, asked in a furious tone, his voice filled with anger.
The room was filled with the most powerful individuals in the Federation. Before this crisis, each of them had been competing for control over the Federation\'s resources. Each person believed their own plan was the most reasonable and effective.
But now, with the crisis upon them, the most powerful people in the Federation had chosen to shift the blame. None of them said a word.
Edgar\'s questions, naturally, went unanswered.
The atmosphere in the meeting room grew unnervingly tense.
Just as Edgar was about to say something further, the door to the meeting room was suddenly slammed open.
The unexpected intrusion caused a moment of panic among everyone in the room. Only Marshal Daniel remained calm, as his power and experience allowed him to stay composed.
It was a colonel who had burst through the door. The colonel quickly walked up to Marshal Daniel and spoke in a low voice.
Daniel\'s expression didn\'t change at all as he listened. When the colonel finished speaking, Daniel waved his hand, signaling for the officer to leave.
After the colonel departed, the door to the meeting room was slammed shut once more.
Marshal Daniel slowly stood up.
"You must have all heard the explosion just now. The military headquarters has been attacked. The situation there is dire, and we can no longer send any reinforcements. The situation in the capital has completely spiraled out of control. I strongly urge everyone to relocate to a safe zone immediately."
Marshal Daniel\'s words sent the room into a state of complete panic.
For these individuals, the capital was not a place that could be abandoned. Even after the onset of the
apocalypse game
, the capital had never been left behind.
The room erupted into chaotic chatter, only adding to Edgar\'s growing fury.
Edgar slammed his fist on the table.
"Enough! Do you all still want to waste time here? Since the situation in the capital is already out of control, we need to leave immediately!"
Under Edgar\'s direct command, all the top leaders of the Federation began making their way toward the safe zone.
The safe zone was located in a mountain peak not far from the capital. The entire mountain had been hollowed out, and even after the onset of then/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
apocalypse game
, it remained nearly impossible to breach.
Although the Federation\'s high-ranking members had started moving toward the safe zone, the journey would not be without danger. As a result, the remaining military forces and the
apocalypse game
players under the Federation\'s control began to provide protection to ensure the leaders\' safety.
At this point, no one was concerned about the now completely uncontrollable capital.
Even though many family members of the various powerful factions within the capital had failed to escape in time, the families themselves had no means to rescue those left behind.
At this moment, the capital was not only under attack by
The Person in the Mirror
, but humans were also turning on each other. With order completely lost, the capital had devolved into a city of madness.
Though chaos reigned, there were still some individuals within the capital who hoped to restore some semblance of order.
