Chapter 779 - Spare No One
The polar vehicle raced on the snowfield, leaving a flurry of snows flakes and ice shards behind its trail.
Jiang Chen was in control of the steering wheel and scanned the yellow dot on the GPS.
There were more than a hundred kilometers in distance, with his current speed; it would be possible to reach it in an hour or so.
He had taken off the power armor and was thrown into the back seat of the car. When he was far away, he moved it into the storage dimension. There was also a suitcase that was supposed to contain one gram of antimatter. He also moved that into the storage dimension.
After directly passing Wilkes Place and arriving at the shore of George V, Jiang Chen gradually slowed down, pressed the button to open the trunk, and tapped the watch to call out the holographic screen.
The trunk opened, exposing the drone terminal hidden in it, as well as a fixed-wing drone about the size of one person; the Falcon Z-2 manufactured by Camp 27.
On the way, Jiang Chen stopped the car and replaced the drone terminal in the trunk of the polar vehicle. The Hummingbird drone’s detection capability was mainly in close range, if the target was located in the vast sea, a fixed-wing drone was much more efficient.
Falcon Z-2 flew towards the Ross Sea and soon reached the target area. As Jiang Chen expected, the target had already left its original position.
However, it didn’t matter. Only two hours passed since the end of the communication. Even if the ship accelerated and went from 0 to 20 knots in two hours, it would at most moved 60 or 70 kilometers. Jiang Chen parked the vehicle alongside the snow-capped coast. He leaned over and petted the little penguin. Then he focused his attention on the watch connected to the drone terminal.
The Falcon circled the target sea for two laps and quickly locked in on the target.
It was a polar expedition vessel and it looked just like any other expedition vessel from the outside, but when the Falcon Z-2 opened its life detection device, it found nearly 200 lives on the vessel.
For a polar expedition ship, it was obviously abnormal to have so many on board!
Having determined the target, Jiang Chen immediately removed the amphibious kinetic skeleton for diving from the storage dimension and put it on top of his winter clothes. After checking the equipment, he took a deep breath and dove into the sea.
The chilling cold was blocked outside of the winter clothes. Jiang Chen opened the back of the propulsion device and maintained a depth of about five meters as he moved straight to the location on the map.
…
In the control room, Griffin sat at the table and looked at the black circle on the map marked in the center of the Antarctic. His eyebrows gradually twisted together.
There was the legacy of the Third Reich, and treasure sought after by the Freemasonry for nearly a century.
“I didn’t expect that he actually cracked the code. It seems that Mr. Rothschild is right. Jiang Chen really is not a simple character.” With fingers tapping on the map, Griffin leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling.
“Since Mr. Rothschild has already told you that Jiang Chen is not a simple character, I don’t really understand why you’re asking for your own death.”
An icy edge was pressed against his neck and Griffin suddenly froze. He didn’t know when the man covered in black suddenly appear behind him with a dagger on his throat.
“I advise you not to do anything that will hurt yourself,” The man in black said with a smile and pressed the dagger against him even harder.
Feeling the sharpness piercing his skin, a cold drip of sweat rolled down. He slowly took out the pistol from his right pocket and put it on the table.
“Who are you?”
“Who am I?” The man in black laughed. “Shouldn’t you first introduce yourself first before asking for another person’s name?”
“Griffin Turtles, head of the French Antarctic expedition…” The dagger against his throat was even closer and Griffin paused with a trembling voice.
“Don’t waste my time,” the man said impatiently. “Antarctic expedition ship? You need to carry guns and bullets to visit Antarctica? I’m asking you for the last time, who are you and why did you attack me?”
“You…are you Jiang Chen?” Griffin blinked in shock.
Jiang Chen tightened the dagger in his hand and said without emotion, “I’ll cut off your right ear on the count of three, and then I’ll count again.”
“You are playing with fire. Do you know who you are against?”
“One.” However, Jiang Chen did not pay attention to him.
A cold sweat fell from Griffin’s forehead.
“Don’t do this.”
“Two.”
His hands began to tremble, and large drops of sweat appeared on his forehead. Disregarding all of this, Jiang Chen counted the last number.
“Three.”
“It’s the Freemasonry! Let me go, let me go! I’m just being instructed…” Griffin confessed his identity.
“Freemasonry? What is that?” Jiang Chen was slightly surprised and frowned.
When Jiang Chen intended to ask something further, the door of the captain’s room suddenly began to creep. At the same time, there was a sound that sounded like a balloon leaking.
Jiang Chen looked at Griffin and saw no more fear in his eyes. Instead, a fanatical smile appeared on his face.
Obviously, the expression he just had on was all made up.
Taking advantage of Jiang Chen’s slight confusion, he pressed the switch on his watch. The room was sealed off and what looked like sprinklers on the ceiling began to spray gas.
“Let’s go see Satan together.” Griffin laughed gloomily, ignoring the blade against his throat.
Looking at Griffen without fear, Jiang Chen smiled slyly and put away the dagger.
“Simple tricks.”
Three high-explosive grenades fell to the ground. In front of Griffin’s face, Jiang Chen started the optical invisibility on the kinetic skeleton and disappeared.
Then, under Griffin’s horrified gaze, he initiated interdimensional travel and escaped the room.
“Boom!”
The blasted flame ignited the gas and triggered a more violent explosion. An almost physical heat wave blasted away the windows and doors and brought thick white smoke onto the deck. The crew members that accidentally got burnt mourned and fell on the ground. The first officer hurriedly directed the crew to extinguish the fire.
The mercenaries on board were heavily armed and rushed to the control room where the explosion occurred. However, they had not yet approached the stairs before they were forced back by the bullet storm falling from the sky.
The bullets jumped between the steel walls and played a ping pong symphony.
With orange-red trails blazing, Jiang Chen walked out of the smoke. The steel armor was like the Hell Knight’s armor, wielding a scythe called “bullets” and harvesting the life of the living creatures.
Mixed with the sound of gunshots were screams and howls. In order to avoid the firing of the machine gun, the crew on deck frantically jumped into the sea. However, jumping down into the sea full of ice was no different from suicide.
Without being able to swim for more than ten meters, they would lose consciousness because of the cold and eventually sink to the bottom of the sea and die.
“Go to hell!”
A mercenary took out the rocket launcher and pressed the trigger.
Ten more orange trajectories penetrated the mercenary’s body without any suspense. Behind the propelling engine, Jiang Chen quickly and easily avoided the unguided rocket and lifted up the machine gun.
Blood flowed from the bow to the stern.
When the gun smoke from the minigun dissipated, no living person could be seen on the entire deck…
Next was the cabin!
