Chapter 145: Crisis on the Isolated Island

Wang Jing knew that in such a short period of time, even with a Nanosuit, Prophet could not possibly have run far.

Therefore, Wang Jing flew up into the air, monitoring every movement below.

However, before Wang Jing could wait for Prophet to expose a weakness, a CELL support helicopter arrived first.

Yet this was no problem at all for Wang Jing. Raising his right arm, a miniature missile popped out from his forearm and streaked toward the incoming support helicopter.

Before the helicopter pilot could even react, the missile turned the chopper into a fireball.

Taking advantage of the moment while Wang Jing was dealing with the helicopter, Prophet made his escape. By the time Wang Jing turned back, Prophet had already hidden himself within a cluster of abandoned buildings.

Amidst the dense complex of buildings, the suit's radar became useless, and Wang Jing dared not pursue him inside; in close-quarters combat, Wang Jing was not entirely certain he could defeat Prophet.

Watching the large number of CELL mercenaries rushing over as reinforcements, Wang Jing had no choice but to temporarily withdraw and fly off into the distance.

Returning to the primary plane, Wang Jing immediately flew to the Operations Command Center. As usual, he briefed Song Guohua on the situation of the new plane.

"The new plane this time is a story about an ancient alien waking up and trying to summon its homeworld to invade Earth."

"The person I encountered earlier who could turn invisible is the protagonist of that world. Because she previously established a neural link with the aliens, she can see glimpses of the future."

"The reason he is able to cloak is that in that world, a corporation acquired alien technology and developed a Nanosuit, which not only provides invisibility but also enhances physical strength and absorbs attacks."

"However, because the Nanosuit was developed using alien technology and has been constantly fighting aliens, the protagonist's body is essentially no different from a walking corpse."

"So, are we going to war with the aliens?" Song Guohua asked.

"Yes, but what we have to face is not just the aliens, but also the human organization CELL that I eliminated earlier. The predecessor of this mercenary corporation was the security force of Hargreave Bioscience, the company that manufactured the Nanosuit."

"CELL has not only monopolized global energy but also imprisoned the alien mastermind, intending to use it as an energy source for themselves. What they do not know is that the Ceph—those aliens—have actually been secretly controlling the top leadership of the CELL Corporation."

"And through CELL, they are plotting to teleport their compatriots from the home planet to Earth via a wormhole."

"A wormhole! Alien technology is already that advanced, can we defeat them?" Cheng Peng asked worriedly.

"You don't need to worry about that. The Ceph's technology tree is different from ours; they primarily develop biological and mechanical technologies. Furthermore, their structure is a hive mind; as long as we take out the Ceph mastermind, we can wipe them all out."

"Besides, the group we should be most vigilant against isn't the Ceph aliens, but the CELL mercenaries. Their influence spans the globe, and we can only employ small-scale special operations."

"If our scale is too large, it is very likely we will get bogged down in a war of attrition with CELL, and by then, stopping CELL from opening the wormhole will become extremely difficult," Wang Jing said with a solemn expression.

"How powerful are the Ceph's weapons? Can your suit withstand them?"

"If not, we can wait until the mechs are finished manufacturing before heading to that new plane," Song Guohua asked with concern.

"Mechs won't be necessary; just upgrade the firepower on my suit," Wang Jing refused.

"Very well, leave the suit to me. In two hours, I guarantee your suit will be transformed into a firepower output platform," Jiang Ning said confidently on the command center's large screen.

Meanwhile, Wang Jing controlled his suit to fly toward Jiang Ning's laboratory to undergo the modifications.

After the suit flew off, Wang Jing continued, "Aside from the two major organizations CELL and Ceph, there is also a resistance."

"This resistance organization is worth allying with. If we win the battle, this resistance is very likely to become the leaders of the new world."

"Establishing diplomatic relations with them will be handled by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs," the Minister of Foreign Affairs said casually.

"Then I'll go gather the personnel first," Wang Jing said, and walked out.

Exiting the Operations Command Center, Wang Jing assembled the plane squad and then found Optimus Prime.

Once everyone was gathered, Wang Jing put on the newly modified suit and transported the plane squad along with Optimus Prime to the Crysis plane.

As soon as they entered the Crysis plane, Optimus Prime transformed into the form of an aerospace fighter and soared into Earth's outer orbit.

Optimus Prime's mission was to locate the Mars military satellite, hack into it, and take control to prevent CELL from flying into a rage and blasting Wang Jing, Prophet, and the others out of existence with a single strike.

As for the rest of the plane squad, they followed Wang Jing as they flew toward the resistance camp.

Following the memories in his mind, Wang Jing located a dam built by CELL and landed in the dilapidated buildings right beside the downstream area.

Scarcely had they landed when Wang Jing encountered a few resistance soldiers who were just returning.

The moment the resistance soldiers saw Wang Jing and the others, they immediately raised their weapons. Seeing this, Wang Jing hastily raised a hand to explain, "Don't shoot, we aren't enemies."

"Who are you people?" the resistance soldier asked vigilantly, keeping his weapon lowered yet ready.

"We are here to seek cooperation with your resistance. You can contact your commander first," Wang Jing said.

Hearing Wang Jing's words, several resistance soldiers exchanged glances. Then, one of them said, "Wait here!" With that, he climbed up toward the temporary resistance base inside the building.

Before long, the soldiers who had stayed behind seemed to receive some news, lowered their previously raised guns, and said to Wang Jing and the others, "Follow us, our boss wants to see you."

Thus, Wang Jing followed those soldiers to the temporary resistance base. Along the way, Wang Jing saw numerous wounded resistance soldiers lying on stretchers.

Other resistance soldiers who crossed paths with Wang Jing cast looks of astonishment at Wang Jing and the others clad in their advanced suits.

Soon, Wang Jing met the resistance commander, Claire, a woman hardened and sharpened by war.

Claire first glanced at Wang Jing and the others in their cool suits, then arched an eyebrow and asked, "I heard you want to cooperate with us?"

Wang Jing opened his suit and stepped out of it. "Yes, but you aren't qualified enough. The one we're looking for is Prophet."

Scarcely had Wang Jing finished speaking when Psycho walked in, carrying a sniper rifle, accompanied by Prophet, whose entire body was clad in a pitch-black Nanosuit.

When Prophet saw the suit standing behind Wang Jing, he immediately unslung his high-performance mechanical bow from his back, drew the string to its limit, and aimed it right at the suit behind Wang Jing.

Prophet's action instantly made the atmosphere at the scene tense.

Seeing Prophet raise his weapon, the members of the plane squad beside Wang Jing also brandished their own arms. Electromagnetic cannons, laser weapons, miniature missiles—over a dozen weapons pointed directly at Prophet, whose drawn bowstring and Nanosuit glowed with a faint blue light.
