Chapter 476 - 469: The Aegis of the Flag
"It seems the Lord is now determined to kill him."
Hearing Hui Ming’s words, Andy slightly narrowed his eyes.
"Of course. You should all be aware of the impact he’s had on us and on this world. If we allow him to continue developing, he’ll only cause us more and greater trouble in the future. The Lord has wanted to eliminate him for a long time. It’s just that after the unexpected failure of our last operation, we haven’t found a suitable opportunity."
"This time, since he’s taken the initiative to reveal his position and arrogantly provoke us, we’ll let him know that this world isn’t as simple as he imagines."
"Additionally, aside from Zhou Yuanjue, there’s another person among the ordinary humans on the Black Continent who’s on the kill list: Dela, the leader of the Hunting Mark Organization. According to the Lord’s wishes, we absolutely cannot allow any ordinary human in this world to break through that bottleneck. Even the mere possibility is unacceptable."
Hui Ming continued speaking dispassionately, his voice tinged with a sharp coldness.
"Dela’s whereabouts are now a mystery. The Hunting Mark Organization has supposedly moved him to an absolutely secret, unknown location. Our intelligence network can’t pinpoint his position, so a Beheading operation is impossible for now. As for Zhou Yuanjue, however, his intel is almost completely public. I can make arrangements at any time. How many people are you planning to involve in the operation this time?"
Andy pondered for a moment before speaking.
Hui Ming slowly raised his hand and showed a number with his fingers.
"That many? Is there any human in this world worthy of us deploying such a force? On some level, this decision could be considered an insult to our abilities."
Andy’s pupils contracted slightly as he spoke to Hui Ming in a low voice.p>
"The Lord wants this to be foolproof. He doesn’t want this menace to survive any longer in this world."
Hui Ming said dispassionately.
"Will you be participating in this operation?"
Andy fell silent for a moment, then asked Hui Ming.
"No, I won’t. I have something else to do."
Hui Ming said, shaking his head.
"What is it?"
Andy asked, surprised.
"On this continent, there is a human hidden away, one who completed their transformation years ago after being induced by the Lord. Just a short while ago, the Lord sensed him. That person is on the Black Continent and already has the strength to break through that shackle."
"This time, I will ’recycle’ him completely."
Hui Ming said dispassionately.
"King Level?!"
Andy frowned slightly. It seemed he hadn’t expected such a terrifying existence to be hidden here on the Black Continent.
"He probably hasn’t broken through completely yet. Just leave this matter to me. None of you need to get involved."
"Now, we can discuss how to proceed with the plan against Zhou Yuanjue."
Hui Ming said.
"If we want to be foolproof, we naturally can’t engage him in the Lawless City. Who knows if he has an ambush waiting there."
"Leave it to me. I have a hundred ways to make him show himself and walk right into our trap."
Andy said coolly.

「Liya Republic, the southeastern city of Sannas.」
The city is near the vast Satan Desert in the central Black Continent. This expanse, known as the Sea of Death and the world’s largest desert, once brought nothing but desolation, drought, poverty, and hunger to the region. But since the new century, with the rapid development of transportation, the magnificent scenery of this mysterious Sea of Death has attracted countless tourists. This, in turn, spurred Sannas’s economic growth, plunging the area into unprecedented prosperity and making it the most bustling city in the southeastern Liya Republic.
However, this tourist city was now plunged into the chaos of war.
This was territory occupied by rebels within the Liya Republic. It was seized by them the moment the great rebellion broke out. Close to the front lines, the Liya Republic’s army and the rebels were locked in a back-and-forth struggle.
In just a few short days, the war had completely changed the face of the city.
Broken walls, ruins, mangled corpses, and bright red bloodstains that had not yet been washed away made the once exotic city unbearable to look at.
Wherever the war had passed, almost not an inch of land was left intact.
Donghua Yanhei Hospital.
This hospital was a legacy of Donghua’s aid program for the Black Continent from years ago. Even now, volunteers and medical staff were dispatched here every year. In the eyes of the locals, this place was like a sanctuary; countless lives had been saved within its walls.
The area where the hospital stood was now the only structure not destroyed by the war, standing intact amidst a sea of ruins.
This wasn’t just because of the hospital’s status in the hearts of the local people, but more so because of the bright red flag flying atop its roof.
This flag symbolized the majesty of Donghua, the glory of the motherland, protecting everything here from across the vast ocean.
Only at a time like this could a person truly feel that irreplaceable sense of belonging.
At this moment, the hospital was packed with people, crowding both the wards and the hallways.
Most of them were Donghua People who had been tourists or Donghua Descendants who made a living here. Many others were local refugees, taken in by the hospital to shelter from the raging war outside.
The hospital’s main hall was filled with countless makeshift beds, all of them occupied.
BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!!
The deafening sound of exploding artillery shells came from outside. The powerful shockwaves caused the hospital’s floor and walls to shake nonstop.
Faint sounds of commotion and screams could be heard, accompanied by sharp cracks like strings of firecrackers. Everyone knew it was the sound of bullets leaving their barrels.
Outside, it must be a scene of Purgatory on earth once again.
Everyone’s bodies trembled slightly with the sound of the artillery. At times like these, a sense of panic would spread quickly.
"Fuck, they’re fighting again! Our luck has really gone to shit!"
In a corner of the hall, a few familiar figures were huddled together. One of them, a tall young man, couldn’t help but curse.
This person was Zhao Lin, from the small photography group that had arrived on the Black Continent on the same flight as Zhou Yuanjue.
"When the hell is this going to end? If those guys really go crazy one day and storm this place, aren’t we all screwed?!"
Anya sucked in a cold breath, her body trembling. She couldn’t help but hug Tan Ying, who was next to her. Don’t be fooled by the fact that she usually acted just like a boy; when faced with something like this, she was just as scared as anyone else.
After all, they were facing real guns and live ammunition. A single bullet could easily take any of their lives.
