Chapter 1533 - 1532: Stirring Up Trouble?
Ling Feng still felt that Gu Li was a bit too arrogant.
However, he didn’t question it anymore, just nodded, "Alright then, I’ll wait to watch the launch this afternoon!"
"Okay, by the way, boss, our second and third rockets are also under construction. Do you want to take a look?" Gu Li asked.
Ling Feng was taken aback, "Building new ones again? Why?"
"This one is a prototype and also Smack’s stuff. After the launch, it’ll be set aside as an exhibit. In the future, we’ll need to use our own!" Gu Li said.
"Oh, very good!"
Ling Feng nodded and then said, "I won’t go see it. I’ll just wait until it’s ready for launch; there’s no rush!"
After saying that, he stood up, "Let all the staff know, once we succeed in launching, I’ll hold a celebration on Lingyun Island and hand out bonuses!"
"Alright, I knew the boss wouldn’t forget everyone!"
Gu Li beamed at this.
Leaving Lingyun Island, Ling Feng returned to Nine Heavens, where he found out everyone was already informed about the rocket launch and prepared to go watch in the afternoon.
So he didn’t delay and immediately got busy with the feast and bonuses arrangements.
By the afternoon, many people had already arrived in the residential area of Lingyun Island.
This included Han Wancheng and some leaders from the space department, as well as Ling Feng’s friends and family, all sitting in the square waiting for the rocket launch to begin.
People’s faces were full of irrepressible excitement, chatting and laughing while occasionally glancing at the rocket standing in the distance.
Ling Feng was also very busy. He wasn’t too concerned about the rocket launch at the moment, mainly busy socializing with everyone.
The number of people here exceeded those who came during the New Year, and being the host, he had to greet everyone, right?
Amidst the crowd, several pairs of pretty eyes were secretly watching him. Although Ling Feng noticed, he didn’t have the time to approach.
Among these were Chen Hong and Lin Yu, whom he had specifically brought along.
Of course, it wasn’t just the two of them from the Yinzhou Sub-bureau who came; as the bureau chief, Ling Feng didn’t refuse his subordinates who wanted to come to watch, bringing along anyone who was available.
After all, they were his own people and had seen Lingyun Island on live broadcasts, so there was nothing to hide.
While chatting with friends, Zoran suddenly came over hurriedly and whispered to Ling Feng, "Our radar detected unidentified objects approaching, Gu Li asked me to inform you."
"Unidentified objects?"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment and then asked, "What exactly is the situation?"
"It should be a reconnaissance plane, and there are also a few ships in the open sea that appear to be military vessels based on their size."
Zoran finished, looking at Ling Feng, "My idea is that if things get bad, we should deploy our warships!"
"No need!"
Ling Feng smiled and then said, "To deal with them, it’s not necessary to go that far!"
After speaking, he turned to look at the crowd and quickly spotted Li Fei’er’s figure, so he hurriedly went over, "Come with me!"
"What’s going on, uncle?"
Li Fei’er was curious as Ling Feng took her hand and led her away.
"Someone’s coming to join the fun with unclear intentions, let’s go take a look," Ling Feng explained.
"Oh, alright!"
Li Fei’er nodded, and the two of them walked out of the crowd. Once they were in a secluded spot, she summoned Little Hong.
Then the two of them soared into the sky.
Many people saw the Fire Qilin carrying Ling Feng and Li Fei’er across the sky towards the open sea and were a bit puzzled, not knowing what was happening.
As they ascended higher, Ling Feng heard the roar of airplane engines.
So he said to Li Fei’er, "Let Little Hong get closer and see what they’re up to!"
"Alright!"
Li Fei’er nodded, and at the same time, Little Hong picked up the pace.
Although its flying speed was fast, it was evidently no match for the high-speed reconnaissance plane. So after getting close to the roaring sound, a massive military aircraft swiftly passed by them, stirring up an air current!
Both Ling Feng and Li Fei’er were shaken by this air current, almost causing them to fall!
"Who dares to behave so arrogantly!"
Li Fei’er shouted furiously, her eyes blazing with anger.
Though it was just a fleeting moment, Ling Feng’s Divine Sense had already scanned the interior of the plane, so he sneered and said, "It’s the American military!"
"Really? They aren’t here to cause trouble, are they?" Li Fei’er asked.
"Hard to say, it’s a reconnaissance plane, surely here to gather intelligence!"
Ling Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Since they’re provoking us, let’s not be polite either!"
"Okay, I’ll have Little Hong give them a dose of fire!" Li Fei’er said.
"No need, getting close is not good!"
Ling Feng thought for a moment and then said, "Let’s head over to those warships’ skies!"
"Okay!"
Li Fei’er nodded and immediately commanded Little Hong to continue flying.
Soon, a few warships appeared on the sea below, about fifty nautical miles away from Lingyun Island.
At this point, Li Fei’er asked, "Uncle, what are you going to do?"
"They’ve probably detected us already; getting closer might invite artillery or missile attacks, so let’s stay here."
Ling Feng said, taking out a large pile of fire attribute Five Elements Fruit.
Seeing this, Li Fei’er immediately understood his intention and asked, "From this height, can you throw them onto the warships?"
"Better if they don’t land on them; landing on them would be an act of war, wouldn’t it?"
Ling Feng chuckled and directly threw the Five Elements Fruit down.
From thousands of meters in the air, his Divine Sense couldn’t reach, but with the naked eye, he could still see the warships.
The Five Elements Fruit wasn’t big, only the size of a baby’s fist, but they were still detected by the opponent’s radar!
Thus, streams of fire instantly lit up from the decks of the warships, ready to shoot them down.
From the opponent’s perspective, although these objects weren’t large, they might have destructive power and couldn’t be ignored.
Unfortunately, the fruits were too small, and bullets couldn’t hit them!
As a result, a large pile of Five Elements Fruit fell harmlessly into the sea!
Instantly, columns of flame erupted from the sea surface.
It was just bad luck for those warships; one of the Five Elements Fruit even landed on a deck.
So, within moments, the flames burned through the deck, creating a massive black hole!
Seeing the black smoke rise, Ling Feng chuckled, "Let’s go back first; if these guys don’t learn their lesson, we’ll let Little Yu do it again!"
"Okay!"
Li Fei’er nodded, commanding Little Hong to return to Lingyun Island.
After landing, Ling Feng headed straight to the command center, entering Gu Li’s office.
This time, his expression wasn’t as relaxed, as he looked at the large screen on the wall, his brows furrowed tightly.
Ling Feng saw this and asked with a smile, "What? Feeling nervous?"
"No, those ships have already retreated, and the reconnaissance plane has flown away."
Gu Li shook his head and continued, "But I still have a hunch that they seem to be up to something!"
