Chapter 1462: Chapter 574: Preemptive Strike

Since the development of Dream Island has shown vast military potential, especially after defeating The United States of America in conventional weapons warfare, Yan Fei’s identity has completely changed compared to before. When he returned to Shanghai this time, the treatment China gave him had significantly improved. Therefore, Yu Xiaozhou, the Chinese representative, also traveled with Yan Fei, providing various conveniences for his trip with Lu Pingping back to China.

With the rapid development of Dream Island, China has already established a formal organizational structure on the island to interface with the relevant departments of Dream Island and handle affairs between the two sides. The China Special Duties Unit’s liaison on Dream Island, Yu Xiaozhou, was not recalled; she remains on Dream Island, acting as a conduit between Yan Fei and the Chinese higher-ups, ensuring the timely bidirectional transmission of intelligence.

It is precisely because of Yu Xiaozhou’s timely transmission of information that Yan Fei and China can understand each other, dispel misunderstandings, share weal and woe, cooperate in solidarity; they can advance and retreat together on the international stage, cooperate hand in hand; achieve mutual benefit and common development economically; and provide mutual political support and unity…

Sitting in the sumptuous “Dream One,” Yu Xiaozhou looked out of the window warily while watching Yan Fei talking and laughing with Lu Pingping. She couldn’t help but feel deeply moved. Even now, Yan Fei appeared very ordinary without any kingly aura, but unexpectedly, it was this ordinary man that accomplished the great feats everyone else found impossible.

Yu Xiaozhou still remembered the first time she met Yan Fei. At that time, Yan Fei was in dire straits as he had just been targeted by the Assassin Sect. Lu Pingping had also been captured by the Assassin Sect’s assassins, who used her to extort a huge ransom from Yan Fei. Yang Liu, the conspirator, added insult to injury and sought to snatch Dream Technology from Yan Fei. At that time, Yan Fei was besieged on all sides, appearing as if he was about to fall, but nobody expected that he would stand firm and execute a perfect counter-kill in the end. Not only did he resolve the threat from the Assassin Sect, but he also completely eradicated them, and even Yang Liu met a bad end.

After overcoming the Assassin Sect crisis, Yan Fei’s career soared. In just a few short years, he built a potentially massive island in the barren North Pacific – Dream Island, and through it, he became a powerful force. He has achieved significant accomplishments in all aspects and holds his own even compared to The United States of America.

The rise of Yan Fei is truly legendary, and he is shrouded in an aura of mystery. Over the years, the China Special Duties Unit has continuously investigated Yan Fei, but apart from discovering that Yan Fei and the Destroyer are the same person, with the latter being a facade through which Yan Fei has conducted many illegal activities, none of Yan Fei’s other secrets have been uncovered.

Just when the China Special Duties Unit wanted to further investigate Yan Fei, the Chinese higher-ups issued a new order, directing them to cease the background checks and instead fully support the requests of Yan Fei and Dream Island. The personnel originally collecting intelligence on Dream Island, Yu Xiaozhou, officially became an Information Liaison Officer.

This time, Yan Fei left Dream Island openly, which is a rare occurrence, with not many accompanying members. Apart from Lu Pingping, there was only his personal secretary, Su Tan’er. There was also a small squad of the Dream Island Guard, totaling fifty members. Yu Xiaozhou was the only outsider not from Dream Island on “Dream One.”

Although domestic security has been very good in recent years and China is quite safe, considering the current status of Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, to ensure their absolute safety, the Dream Island Guard brought protective weapons back to the domestic front. This time, their main weaponry consisted of heavy armors, including two Spider Combat Platforms and twenty sets of Exoskeleton armor, as well as a vast amount of accompanying weapons, ammunition, and other high-tech devices, all to safeguard Yan Fei’s trip to Shanghai.

With Yu Xiaozhou’s mediation, considering the importance of Yan Fei and Lu Pingping, Chinese authorities specially approved the Dream Island Guard to bring battle armor back to Shanghai. In the event of danger, the Guard Squad could even use the heavy battle armor for combat within the country.

Dream Island is only three thousand kilometers away from Shanghai in a straight line. If deploying the Drone Avatar, it would only take an hour to reach Shanghai from Dream Island. However, civil aircraft are slower and would need more than three hours to fly from Dream Island to Shanghai. An hour into the flight of “Dream One,” the aircraft entered Japan’s Air Defense Identification Zone, and then Yan Fei noticed something unusual outside.

Under the surveillance of the Artificial Intelligence “Dream,” Yan Fei found that fighter jets from the US Military Air Force Base in Okinawa, Japan, were taking off, with six fighter jets launching at once. Among them were four F-15 Fighters and two F-22 Stealth Fighters. The satellite photos revealed that the four F-15s were fully armed for combat, while the F-22s, with their internal bays, made it unclear whether they were armed or not.

Normally, the US Military Aircraft taking off from Okinawa wouldn’t raise an alarm for Yan Fei, since it’s common for such Fighter Jet operations. However, Yan Fei noticed that after forming their flight pattern, these six Fighter Jets were heading northwest. If they continued on this course and maintained their Flight Speed, then this Fighter Squadron would intersect with Yan Fei’s “Dream One” over the airspace of Japan.
