Chapter 679: Maintaining the Situation

The second failure to encircle and annihilate the Moon of Corrosion threw the entire upper echelon of Blizzard City into chaos.

Zhu Zheng was on the verge of a mental breakdown, so the others had no choice but to step up and patch things together. As for sealing off the information, Lan Xincheng, the secretary, took it upon himself without hesitation.

These matters were, of course, carried out by the subordinates following orders. freewebnσvel.cøm

That same morning, Jiangnan Television’s early news broadcast proudly reported a great victory by the District against the Ronin from the Neon Nation.

"At dawn today, the Superhuman forces of Jiangnan District launched a special military operation against the ronin group from Neon known as the Moon of Corrosion."

"This operation was personally commanded by District Supreme Commander Zhu Zheng, with Chief of Operations Tu Yunlie and Captain of the Black Robe Investigation Team Baili Changqing involved in the strategic planning, along with the Celestial Squad and several Outer City Superhumans participating."

"After a night of fierce fighting, half of the Moon of Corrosion’s members were annihilated, achieving a brilliant victory."

...

In Blizzard City, entertainment was scarce, and every morning, citizens would tune in to watch the daily news.

Upon seeing the District had won yet another big victory, the people of Blizzard City couldn’t help but cheer with joy, their faces lighting up with happiness.

Even though they still had to work more than twelve hours today, everyone felt re-energized and full of motivation.

Over at the Deng Family, Deng Yuanbo received news of Deng Shentong’s death almost immediately.

Everyone was gripped by fear, terrified that this towering figure in Blizzard City would erupt in rage.

Even Lan Xincheng personally made a phone call to Deng Yuanbo, afraid that he might blow the whole thing up.

It wasn’t Deng Yuanbo who answered the call, but his steward, Liancheng.

"Mr. Deng is currently unavailable to take calls. He instructed me to convey his message if headquarters reaches out."

"The Deng Family will prioritize the bigger picture and support the leadership’s decisions."

When Lan Xincheng received this response, the stone weighing down his heart finally lifted.

On the surface, Deng Yuanbo seemed like just a businessman.

But in reality, the Deng Family’s influence and network were enormous.

Even now in Blizzard City, many figures in the upper ranks had connections to the Deng Family.

Not to mention, Blizzard City’s development heavily relied on the Deng Group’s technical support.

"Mr. Deng is truly noble-minded. On behalf of Blizzard City, I express our deepest gratitude."

"I will relay your message to him."

The call ended quickly. Liancheng set down the vintage golden telephone and turned toward the inner room.

Deng Yuanbo’s room was furnished in a classical style, dominated by rosewood and huanghuali furniture — styles from the previous century.

Such decor was rare in the mid-21st century.

At this moment, he was draped in a fox-fur cloak, standing before a massive floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the snow falling outside.

Liancheng knocked and entered, respectfully standing with his hands at his sides.

"Mr. Deng, I have responded to headquarters according to your instructions."

Deng Yuanbo simply nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Liancheng hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously:

"There’s something very strange about this operation. The failure was too absolute, and with Young Master's strength, even if he was outmatched, he shouldn’t have been killed."

"Have you perhaps... been too lenient with them?"

The results of the battle were simply unacceptable to both Deng Yuanbo and Liancheng.

The Celestial Squad had never lost before — its members were all top-notch fighters. How could they have died at the hands of a bunch of ronin?

In his heart, Liancheng couldn't help but suspect a conspiracy.

Could someone have deliberately set up Deng Shentong’s death?

After all, Blizzard City was a place teeming with undercurrents.

Deng Shentong, as the designated successor of the Deng Family, had both immense ability and public support.

Everyone knew that Deng Shentong was the family’s hope — and a strong contender for the next Supreme Commander of Blizzard City.

Deng Yuanbo narrowed his eyes, his expression hidden in the murky morning light.

From his throat came a voice weathered with age.

"No matter what, Jiangnan District must not fall into chaos."

"Our fate rises and falls with the District. If Blizzard City collapses, the Deng Family won’t survive either."

"I will thoroughly investigate what happened to Shentong. But for now, we must help stabilize the District."

Upon hearing this, Liancheng bowed his head low.

"I was short-sighted. I will obey your instructions, sir."

No matter how deep their grief, as the head of the Deng Family, Deng Yuanbo had a responsibility to the entire clan.

Tearing things apart with headquarters now would be nothing short of foolish.

However — this matter would not be left unresolved!

"If I find out who did this..."

"Even if it’s Zhu Zheng — he won’t be able to withstand the consequences!"

A chilling light flashed in Deng Yuanbo’s shadowed eyes.

Zhu Zheng’s rise to the position of Jiangnan District Commander was partly thanks to his military background, but he had also relied heavily on the support of other factions.

After all, Blizzard City was home to many powerful families from Jiangnan.

Their people were everywhere in the city’s structure.

If one day Zhu Zheng proved unworthy of his position, these families would have no problem pulling him down.

In the apocalypse, putting an incapable person in a high position was a recipe for disaster!

...

The explosion of the Death God of Love made those aboard the armed helicopters, including Zhang Yi, clearly realize — Deng Shentong and his forces had failed!

If they hadn’t been pushed to the brink, Blizzard City would never have deployed such an ultimate weapon.

"Never thought they’d be that strong..."

Mo Zhongning’s eyes looked a little dazed.

"Everyone’s a Superhuman — how can the gap be so wide?"

He had once dominated an entire city as a Superhuman, yet here he had been cut down like grass by the Moon of Corrosion.

The blow to his confidence was devastating.

Li Weihai sighed.

"These aren't your average Superhumans. Word is they rampaged across Kanto in the Neon Nation, slaughtering and looting at will — one of the most savage bands of raiders in Kanto."

"Anyone who could survive that kind of environment... there’s no way they’re ordinary."

As he spoke, Li Weihai took a deep breath and looked out at the persistent glow of radiation outside the window.

"But now, it’s all over. No matter how strong a Superhuman is, no one could survive that weapon."

Almost everyone agreed with this view.

Only Zhang Yi frowned deeply, not saying anything.

Liang Yue noticed and asked, "Why do you still look so worried? Even headquarters used the Death God of Love. Forget about the Moon of Corrosion — even someone like Yuan Kongye at Epsilon-level wouldn’t survive, right?"

Zhang Yi said, "I have a really bad feeling. It just... doesn’t sit right."

"I keep feeling... they wouldn’t die that easily."

This feeling stemmed from all the intel Zhang Yi had gathered on the Moon of Corrosion.

They seemed to have an almost prophetic ability — always predicting battlefield developments with eerie accuracy.

Could it be that... they even foresaw the appearance of the Death God of Love?
