Chapter 1483: Infiltration
Ling Feng heard this and smiled, Catherine was quite right!
However, he didn’t argue for himself, just nodded: "Well, if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll definitely repay you properly!"
The car traveled on the highway, and after three hours, although Catherine said there was no need to switch, Ling Feng insisted on having her stop, and the two switched places.
With the help of his Divine Sense, Ling Feng drove swiftly on the foreign roads.
Soon, the sky began to brighten, and the sun was about to rise.
After reaching near the destination, Ling Feng left the highway and drove onto an empty road.
Now there was no need to worry about what time it was back home, he directly took out his phone and called Gu Li.
Learning that Ling Feng had already arrived near the target location, Gu Li was quite surprised, then immediately perked up and sent over the latest prepared data.
Holding the tablet to view the information, Long Xiaoyu and Catherine both gathered around.
Smack’s research institute, launch base, nearby affiliated facilities, and the latest launch arrangements were all detailed in the data.
"What are you planning to do?" Catherine asked.
"No rush."
Ling Feng smiled, a dozen kilometers away, that giant white rocket was already visible. This area was desolate, with the viewing platform prepared for the audience not on this side, so he said to Catherine: "Later, you drive to the viewing platform, and leave the rest to me, Chu Li!"
"So I came all the way just to be your driver?" Catherine asked in astonishment.
"I’m even worse off, just here as a spectator!"
Long Xiaoyu said, looking at Ling Feng, "You plan to act alone?"
"I’ve reviewed this data; having more people is useless. If a conflict really arises, it will certainly cause many casualties, and that’s not something I want to see, so let me go for a stealth infiltration first, and you step in if necessary!" Ling Feng smiled.
"Alright then."
Long Xiaoyu nodded, not insisting.
Catherine couldn’t influence Ling Feng’s decision either, so she said nothing and drove straight towards the viewing platform.
Before reaching the platform, they could see thousands of excited spectators waiting.
Although there were still more than ten hours until the launch, various recording devices resembling long guns and short cannons were already set up.
Seeing this scene, Ling Feng smirked, took out his Invisibility Ring, and put it on.
Catherine was stunned, not expecting he had this trick up his sleeve.
"You two wait here, I’ll be back soon!"
Ling Feng said, opened the car door while it was moving, and jumped out!
Watching Catherine’s car drive towards the viewing platform, Ling Feng glanced at the distant standing rocket and started walking towards it.
Initially, he walked leisurely, but soon, he quickened his pace, creating a gust of wind.
In ten minutes, he had reached the perimeter of the launch base.
Using his Divine Sense to envelop the area, Ling Feng quickly found Smack.
The guy was in the lounge, with a blonde beauty sitting on his lap, and they were flirting.
Seeing this, Ling Feng sneered internally, this guy was quite relaxed.
Just not sure, when the rocket launch fails, will he still be this composed!
Ling Feng paid no more attention to him, and with the cover of the Invisibility Ring, soon infiltrated the command center.
Since he was here, he didn’t just want to sabotage the rocket; it would be best to get hold of some of Smack’s research data, to bring back and study.
Thus, Ling Feng’s first target was Smack’s research institute.
Due to the upcoming launch, most workers were at the command center, leaving this place almost deserted.
Seeing a whole floor of office equipment and countless file cabinets inside, Ling Feng frowned and clicked his tongue.
It’s too much, and he didn’t know what the key vital data was, how to proceed?
Was he supposed to empty an entire floor?
After pondering, Ling Feng steeled his heart; since there’s still plenty of time, he might as well spend it productively!
Using the God Slayer Saber, he sliced open the iron-barred ventilation duct and stealthily entered the research institute’s interior.
...
...
Two hours before launch, staff began leaving, and no one was within a kilometer of the launch site.
But at this moment, Smack received a call, telling him something had happened; an entire floor’s worth of items in the research institute had vanished!
Hearing this news, Smack immediately sat up straight!
Immediately following, another message arrived; sensors on the rocket indicated a sudden fuel leak even after completion of fueling!
If the launch continues, a massive explosion is inevitable!
Originally, everything was set, foolproof, only waiting for a successful launch to capture global attention, leading to the company’s stock skyrocketing, but then this happened!
Smack decisively ordered an immediate halt to the launch and issued announcements to the media and reporters.
The problem must be solved, even if it’s as minor as a loose screw on the rocket, because the multi-billion US Dollar rocket is extremely valuable, accidents cannot happen.
The message of the halted launch reached Catherine and Long Xiaoyu, and they exchanged a glance.
"Looks like Ling Feng succeeded," Catherine said.
Long Xiaoyu nodded, "Don’t rush, Ling Feng might have more actions."
"Huh? What else can he do?" Catherine asked, puzzled.
"I know him well, he must want to see fireworks in the sky, but now that the launch is abruptly canceled, he won’t just let it go!" Long Xiaoyu said.
Catherine was a bit speechless, the launch had already been stopped, what else could Ling Feng do?
On her side, she wondered, while on Ling Feng’s side, he was a bit dumbfounded, too.
The people who had all retreated suddenly rushed back to the rocket!
Watching those people hurrying to the launch site, Ling Feng stood on the roof of the command center, suddenly realizing something.
Looks like his sneaky attempt to create a hole in the fuel tank had been discovered!
"This isn’t fun anymore!"
Thinking just like Long Xiaoyu, Ling Feng was not willing to give up when he saw the launch was canceled!
Watching those staff rushing towards the rocket, a flash of insight struck his mind!
So Ling Feng muttered to himself: "No way, I have to try, whether it works or not, at least I’ve tried!"
Then he jumped down the building, immediately rushing towards the launch site.
At the viewing platform, thousands of spectators were buzzing, no one had left.
People were still waiting for a miracle to happen; maybe, after fixing the issue, they will announce the launch’s continuation!
But unexpectedly, someone suddenly shouted, pointing towards the launch site: "My God, what’s happening!"
