Chapter 84: L-21 Miniature Warhead. Codename: Leviathan
"Hmm…" having Zhang Qin Feng answered him without a hint of consideration needed making Captain Hu feeling somewhat suspicious of him. But at the same time, it seems further questioning his loyalty towards the country would be straight offensiveness on Zhang Qin Feng in the future.
'What is the extent of his capability?' Captain Hu asked himself. If he was ordered to capture Zhang Qin Feng, it might take close to a squad to two to do so, based on what he possessed. But what if Zhang Qin Feng had something deadlier?
Furthermore, answering him with a "No" without a change in his tone also worries the captain.
Loyalty always comes in two different forms. Yes and No, Faithful and Fanatic. The yes would stay with the country through thick and thin, while the no might decide to leave or migrate when they're allowed to do so. The question of Right or Wrong does not exist here.
But it was a little different when it comes to the Faithful Citizen.
The people from the Army and the Security Forces were an example of people in the Faithful Faction. Loyalty doesn't only exist in their mentality but also in their heart and discipline. To them, dying for their country is something worth putting their life for.
As for the Fanatic, they're considered the odd one.
Instead of labeling them as a loyalist, they're more like a bunch of cultists. The proudness of being a part of the country glorified them, but at the same time, it turned into blind faith.
This turned into their holy grail. If sacrificing was the essence of the Faithful Faction, then obsession was what motivates the Fanatic Faction.
"Alright. Let's continue." said the captain.
"So, what is your intention to bring up all these arsenals for? Are we preparing to attack the Horus Eye Mercenaries?" he added. It was common for him to consider this option because there's no other reason Zhang Qin Feng to bring out all these if it was just for protection.
"Yes. We're attacking the mercenary's outposts."
"This will be a rescue and apprehend operation. The Tianhe Special Squadron will be given all the rights to handle the aftermath. I'm only interested in rescuing the hostage from their hand." said Zhang Qin Feng.
"Brother… Sorry, one moment… Mr. Zhang, I apologize for interrupting, but won't retaliation make them hurt the hostage in their hand? Furthermore, gaining intel from their agents will take time."
"Also… What is the motive behind the kidnapping? Is it for money? Rights? Or something else? We know nothing right now, so please forgive me if I cannot commit fully to this operation without knowing this." one of the four elite soldiers interrupted.
His interruption motivates the other to do the same.
Since everyone will be seated on top of the same boat the moment they agreed with the operation, a common understanding must be achieved before they're committed to accomplishing the task.
"I have my part of questions too. What's their number? Agent, civilians, supporters, and connection. Without this intel, it will be easy for us to attack a base by mistake. I am willing to get demoted or even kicked out from the Elite Forces by not performing well, but not as a murderer that killed because of some wrong intel."
The second guy said as he raised his hand up.
"What about you two?" Zhang Qin Feng nodded at them for bringing up their questions.
"My concern is mainly on what route the terrorist and also Mr. Zhang use to bring the weaponry into our country. Forgive me for being honest, but such a scale was the first time. Although we conduct a few Counter-Terrorism operations last two years, none of them were on the scale of your level and the Horus Eye Mercenaries."
"Yes. Even if I'm willing to overlook the fact that Mr. Zhang has such a well-equipped set of arsenals in your possession, I find it unable to let it go away like this,"
Everyone seems to bring whatever questions they had out from their mind.
"You don't have to worry about my arsenal. Except for me, there's no one else in Dongcheng who could possess it. As for the terrorist's route to secretly bring the weapon into the country, I'm sure we can get the intel after capturing all of them." Zhang Qin Feng replied.
"As for the intel on our targets, I can't share the way how I get them, but they're 100 accurate. Whether to go with me or not, it's all your choice. This is a brand new experience for you, trust me."
"And lastly, their motive." Zhang Qin Feng then turned to his room and acted like he's taking something heavy out from the inside. But in fact, it came out from his Dimensional Storage.
[[Golden Branch Rapeseed Cooking Oil]]
[[New Packaging! 22Liters]]
[[Clean, Friendly, Longer Life]]
"Cook - Cooking oil?" Zhang Qin Feng's action of bringing out that cooking oil barrel shocked them. What was the meaning of bringing that out in the middle of their discussion?
"Mr. Zhang, please explain." as the leader of this squad, Captain Hu noticed something different from the way Zhang Qin Feng bring the barrel out. There were no sploshes nor sound coming out when Zhang Qin Feng brought the barrel out.
Based on his experience, the inside is not liquid, but something hard and tightly packed to maintain its position.
Taking out the military-grade dagger from his back, Zhang Qin Feng gives the barrel a cut. The content inside was something like a layer of soft sculpting dough.
A beautiful masterpiece of mankind was soon placed on top of a table. Eight pillars were holding the top and bottom piece together, with a metal sphere in the middle. Four were thin rods without any gimmick in them, but the other four had the same solution flowing inside.
"My ancestors… Do you guys know what this is?" one soldier stepped forward and touched the masterpiece on top of the table. He was the only one in the group that knew how to appreciate this.
"A bomb?" the other four, with Captain Hu included, answered.
"Not just bomb. This is Model L-21 Miniature Warhead. Its codename is Leviathan. Do you remember the explosion in the City of Nobleheim? This is the same tactical warhead as that one!" he said.
"And you're still so excited about this! Don't that means the terrorist wanted to bomb somewhere in our country?" Captain Hu gives the soldier's head a knock as said.
