Ahead and behind the armored command vehicle were no fewer than 120 armored explosion-proof vehicles escorting and clearing the way, the convoy also included a full 22 heavy ‘Battle Dragon maintenance vehicles’ that were 30 meters in length.
The piercing siren sounded throughout the entire high-speed route, the strobe lights casting beams of red and blue in all directions, causing numerous drivers in the adjacent lanes to instinctively close their eyes or shield them with their hands.
They then looked on curiously at the massive convoy, speculating about the destination and purpose of this Security Bureau convoy.
Xue Lingxue sat next to Lin Rui, briefing him, “Zhang Long has already gone ahead, but he’s been stopped by people from the Star Navy and can’t enter.
In addition, the minister has ordered the mobilization of the Armed Police Force’s 52nd and 53rd Heavy Equipment Divisions, and currently, five Heavy Equipment Group units have entered combat positions and are in a standoff with the Star Navy.
The problem is that there are still a large number of residents in the vicinity who haven’t been evacuated, which is quite troublesome.
...
It’s estimated to take at least three hours, and that doesn’t include the residents near the Star Navy positions; these people are essentially their hostages.”
As she spoke, she looked at Lin Rui with a worried expression, pondering if little Rui was okay, he looked so weak!
Then Xue Lingxue’s expression slightly changed, “Mayor Huo Bangguo has signed an executive order granting you full authority to use force, including military force~Hmm?
He’s also authorized you to use his mayoral guard.
Let me check their location; the guard has already moved into the west district, and Mayor Huo himself is rushing back from Fifth Base City aboard a starship.
It will take about 30 more minutes.
It seems he’s serious this time.”

This time Mayor Huo Bangguo was also quite angered, having just spoken over the phone with ‘Thunder Admiral’, demanding that the Security Bureau must intervene decisively, ensuring that certain individuals behind the Star Navy’s Ninth Marine Division do not succeed.
If we can’t push back the Star Navy on this side, we have to find a way to buy time and wait for Huo Bangguo’s return.
The Mayor promised full support for ‘Thunder Admiral’ on the video call; both the municipal government and he, personally, would stand as the Admiral’s staunchest support.
Xue Lingxue originally thought Mayor Huo Bangguo’s words were to be taken lightly, but it turns out the man meant business.
It seems that the actions of the Star Navy’s Ninth Marine Division have really hit a nerve with him.
No wonder, with the election around the corner, certain individuals took advantage of Huo Bangguo’s visit to pull such a move – the Mayor blowing his top would be no surprise.@@@@
Lin Rui, on the other hand, was focused on reviewing the situation reports collated from various sources.
He then raised an eyebrow, noticing a piece of intelligence stating that 72% of the people in Tianzi Street in the west district had been evacuated.
Also, the placement of the Ninth Marine Division’s positions was quite interesting; he remembered the nearby underground was riddled with spaces illegally dug out by undocumented immigrants.
Lin Rui nodded, then turned to Zhang Long, “Major General Zhang, I command you to clear out all the obstacles in pipes Z53412 and Z53434 within half a moment’s time that are hindering Battle Dragon’s movement and be ready to blow up this position, waiting for the arrival of our Security Bureau’s main force and the Mayor’s guard squadron!
Be sure to remain covert during the operation and do not alert the target.”
Zhang Long glanced at the map Lin Rui had sent over, his eyes narrowing slightly, thinking to himself that this man really had guts.
“Understood, will complete the mission!” Saluting as he spoke, Zhang Long couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration welling inside.
After all, there was a reason why Lin Rui could climb to the position of Commander at the Great Song Spy Detection Bureau in less than six months and even infiltrated the future national leadership ladder of the Great Song.
“Good,” Lin Rui nodded again: “I’m looking forward to hearing good news from all of you.”
He then ended the meeting, cutting off the video connection with the officers.
At that moment, Lin Rui’s gaze returned to his own hand.
As Lin Rui exerted a slight force, the piece of spacetime void on his hand began to warp.
That was clearly the Twisting Concept of the Heavenly Venerate of Agony, nearing a strength of 20%!
And this wasn’t the limit.
As Lin Rui recalled the image of that divine being in his mind, the patch of spacetime void in the palm of his hand twisted further.
Now it was approaching 25%—it should be noted that the variety of Conceptual Powers held by Luo Wangshu never exceeded 45%.
On the one hand, Luo Wangshu feared the Abyss, and on the other, it was difficult for someone of the Ninth Realm to enhance a Conceptual Power above 40%.
Yet now, Lin Rui was able to exert the Twisting Concept to 25% strength and had not felt any phenomenon of Abyss Pollution or assault.

Lin Rui felt that this strength could be further increased, as long as he contemplated upon the Heavenly Venerate of Agony and understood the mysteries represented by his divine body.
Moreover, an invisible armor formed by the concentration of the Twisting Concept enveloped his body; any attempt to touch his body without his personal consent would trigger this invisible armor.
The Twisting Concept’s intensity was even higher, reaching an astonishing 30%, it was this invisible armor that had hurt Xue Ying’s fingertips before.
Was this a gift from that Heavenly Venerate of Agony?
And for what purpose did this ‘deceased’ old god lend such aid?
As Lin Rui was immersed in thought, Xue Lingxue’s voice reached him: “Admiral, we have arrived.”
At this moment, the armored command vehicle they were in was slowing to a halt, and Lin Rui could already hear the thunderous sounds of artillery fire in the distance.
