Chapter 343: The Collision of Two Civilizations and the Calm Before the Storm

With the mission accomplished, Boss Fang took a brief moment to teach his three teammates some basic piloting skills, even letting them take the controls for a test flight; he didn't expect them to fly steadily, but merely to have a vague understanding of takeoff, landing, and turning.

Games and reality were different after all; in reality, even the slightest mistake could result in a fatal crash, requiring exceptional caution, whereas in a game, a single success out of two or three attempts was perhaps already enough.

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion according to plan.

The next task for the group was to hijack a Bolingbroke Penitentiary transport vehicle—a prison bus used for moving inmates—and lose the police.

This errand was clearly much more complicated than the previous ones; after securing the prison bus, they still had to recover Professor Rashkovsky's private car and obtain the police station's schedule.

The mission to assassinate the prosecuting attorney also gave the players a true taste of the conventional use of a sniper rifle; it was evident that the technology in Grand Theft Auto V was quite a bit higher than that of the world Fang Qi lived in before his crossover, as the precise and stable semi-automatic sniper rifles and the RPG capable of firing tracking missiles provided players with a thoroughly exhilarating "spiritual artifact" experience.

"The prison bus is carrying a Class-X dangerous criminal, and the cops think we're trying to break him out, so they won't notice what's actually happening, understand what I mean?" The radio crackled with communication, and under Boss Fang's leadership, the plan proceeded systematically, and when everything was ready, the entire errand reached its final stage.

The four split into two groups once more; one group was to intercept the actual bus heading back to the prison, a task that naturally fell to Boss Fang, while the other group, led by Nalan Mingxue, drove the previously hijacked prison bus, executing a clever switch to enter the prison.

Of course, one couldn't expect to remain undetected; in truth, they could at most enter the gates peacefully, and only at this moment could they drive the Kuruma inside, as enemies within the prison were extremely numerous, and only a mobile fortress like the Kuruma could charge in and out provided the opposing side lacked RPGs.

On the screen, sparks and bullets flew everywhere, marking a fierce confrontation entirely between modern technology and modern technology.

At this moment, not only Nalan Mingxue but the other two newbies also joined the fray; narrow car windows opened, fire spat forth, and the scene was so intense that it felt to the onlookers like watching a modern warfare blockbuster movie!

Driving the Kuruma, Nalan Mingxue quickly found Professor Rashkovsky according to instructions, rushed out of the prison, and boarded the Velum to fly out of the country.

Just when everyone thought it was over, white fighter jets appeared one after another, soaring into the sky.

"We have a problem; air traffic control has locked onto the plane and is sending jets to intercept immediately!" Right as Boss Fang received the call, an entirely pitch-black helicopter slowly rose into the air under Fang Qi's control.

Another step of the plan—heading to the airfield near the prison to seize a Buzzard Attack Chopper.

Clearly, the mastermind had anticipated this situation, coupled with the prison's misjudgment in focusing their attention on the criminal who had been broken out earlier while overlooking some critical matters.

When this helicopter took to the skies, the aerial blockade was already destined for failure.

On Fang Qi's helicopter display screen, several red locking boxes quickly targeted the jets cruising in the sky, and he pressed the missile launch button!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two missiles trailed long plumes of flame, their thick smoke drawing a heavy arc in the sky, followed by two deafening explosions as the leading fighter jets flying at high speeds instantly exploded into pieces!

Boss Fang's helicopter kept patrolling right behind the five-seater Velum; clearly, this captured Buzzard helicopter was the highest aerial combat power in the entire region, and its precision-guided missiles made the jet's rapid aerial speed look almost like a joke, whereas the enemy's missiles lacked such precise guidance, as Fang Qi kept piloting the helicopter to perform evasive maneuvers in the air, making it nearly impossible to hit unless they got close!

"How is it so accurate?!" The players watching the live stream were already stunned; they only saw a tiny speck of the opposing plane in the air, the red box on the screen locked on, a few missiles launched, and the next moment the enemy plane plunged down amidst a burst of flames!

More jets continued to give chase in the sky, and similarly, Boss Fang operated the Buzzard helicopter, shooting them down one by one, preventing them from threatening the five-seater Velum carrying the passengers out of the country.

They couldn't even get close, exploding into brilliant bursts of fire in the distant sky.

There were no dazzling displays of spiritual spells from cultivators, no need to harness the power of heaven and earth, nor any need to channel one's own energy; all they saw was Boss Fang staring at the screen, repeatedly pressing the launch button.

Such an action was countless times simpler than a duel of spiritual spells or martial techniques, yet it was incredibly effective at striking down enemies that outnumbered them heavily!

"This is too powerful!" If Fang Qi were piloting a powerful spiritual boat at this moment, such as a combat armored boat from the Cloud Yunnan Region or something even stronger, they would still be able to understand it.

But as cultivators, seeing this kind of combat capability display such immense power without relying on any spiritual energy at all, and even possessing considerable long-term advantages in certain aspects, left them deeply surprised and astonished.

This was a collision between two civilizations; what they beheld was the crystallization of wisdom condensed by another civilization.

Originally, when everyone played Resident Evil and Counter-Strike, they had only witnessed various firearms, at most seeing this kind of flying "spiritual artifact" at the end of Resident Evil.

Who could have imagined that this type of flying "spiritual artifact" could actually be so potent?!

If this could be engraved with array formations and affixed with talismans...

A super spiritual artifact combining all three elements was something no one had ever seen yet, existing entirely within the realm of imagination, since two of those elements were still in their infancy.

But clearly, even just looking forward to the prospects was highly worth anticipating.

Once Fang Qi and Nalan Mingxue, who was on the Velum, broke through the aerial blockade of the jets and shook off all pursuing forces, Fang Qi landed the Buzzard helicopter on a deserted beach, where three parachutes could be seen drifting slowly down from the five-seater Velum, while the professor they had rescued had clearly flown the plane out of the country on his own.

"This is so much fun!" Mo Xian, who had landed, exclaimed with excitement.

"Flying a plane is actually quite interesting." Nalan Mingxue stared intently at Fang Qi's Buzzard helicopter parked to the side. "Can we give this one a try?"

"I want to try too!" Mo Xian was clearly eager to have a go as well.

The mission had evidently concluded here, requiring only the safe return of the four individuals.

And just when everyone was playing and having a wonderful time.

Within the Nanhua Faction.

Deep inside the forbidden grounds, that dense, ominous aura grew heavier and heavier.
