Chapter 731: Just Like In the Movies
That concert had some major after-effects.
“You sing so well, Brother Hao!”
At noon the next day, while having lunch, Yan’er said, “My classmates want to invite you to go karaoke with them!”
When he bumped into Jiang Wanying, she also teased him, “Aren’t you Z University’s God of Singing?”
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and felt helpless.
It took several days for things to calm down.
In that period, Tang Hao had been keeping an eye on Merrican news.
More and more accidents were happening there, as though there was a war going on.
However, who was the opponent?
Were the warlocks fighting among themselves?
With more and more of those incidents happening, there was still no news of Thea. Tang Hao could not remain calm anymore.
“I should go and take a look!”
After making up his mind, he contacted Trendy Taoist Master to prepare a new passport and visa. Then, he booked a ticket and flew to Merrica.
…
A plane landed in N City International Airport, Merrica.
Tang Hao walked out of the airplane with the crowd. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he raised his hand to sense the qi fluctuations. Then, he frowned.
If he remembered correctly, White Mountain was not very far from N City, but he could not sense Thea’s exact location. He could only sense her approximate direction.
That also meant that the two were too far apart.
He estimated that he would have to go into the Merrican hinterland.
“Why did she go there?” Tang Hao frowned.
He took a bus to the city, bought a train ticket, and headed west.
He could sense her more clearly when he reached the central part of Merrica. He then rented a car and drove away.
After driving for a long time, he finally reached his destination.
In front of him, there was a majestic mountain range that stretched endlessly. Through sensing the blood jade bead, he could tell that Thea was inside.
He happily drove forward.
Soon, he noticed that the situation was not quite right.
He heard the roar of a fighter jet coming from the sky.
Tang Hao was shocked. He slowed down the car and poked his head out to take a look. Not far away in the sky, two fighter jets flew past.
Tang Hao heaved a sigh of relief when the fighter jets flew away into the distance.
“Phew! That was close!”
He patted his chest and muttered.
He thought that his identity was exposed and the Merrican army was coming after him.
He furrowed his brows. There was something wrong with the situation. Why would there be fighter jets in the middle of nowhere?
After thinking for a moment, he continued to drive forward.
Soon, he saw Black Eagles appear above the mountains in the distance. They were circling around as if they were searching for something.
On the road ahead, there was a checkpoint with a row of armed soldiers.
A temporary military base was set up on the wasteland some distance from the checkpoint. Judging from its size, there were probably thousands of troops stationed there. There were also rows of tanks and armored vehicles.
He sensed that Thea was not in the military base.
“What’s going on?”
Tang Hao was completely confused.
He pondered for a moment and continued to drive forward.
As he got closer to the checkpoint, a soldier came up and shouted, “You can’t go past here. Turn around quickly!”
Tang Hao stopped the car and stuck his head out. He smiled at the soldier, “What’s going on, Sir? I’ve always been driving past this road without any problems! Is there an accident?”
The soldier frowned and waved his hand impatiently. “If I tell you to leave, then leave. Why are you asking so many questions? That is a restricted military area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter.”
Tang Hao tried to look inside, but the soldier blocked his line of sight. “Hurry up and leave!” He shouted fiercely.
“Alright, alright, I’ll be going!”
Tang Hao smiled, started the car, and prepared to turn around.
He wanted to stop the car some distance away, then sneak back to investigate the situation.
At that moment, a loud explosion could be heard from within the mountain range. It was the sound of a missile exploding.
Following that, he could hear the sound of another missile being fired.
Tang Hao looked up and focused his gaze. He saw a Black Eagle hovering in the sky firing several missiles towards the mountain range.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions shook the sky and earth. He could even feel slight tremors from where she was.
From within the mountain range, a volley of rockets flew out along with countless bolts of fire and lightning.
The Black Eagle wanted to escape, but the firepower was too dense. Soon, it was struck and exploded into bits.
The other Black Eagles gathered together and fired a wave of missiles.
The military base immediately sounded an alarm.
The ear-piercing sound of the alarm spread far and wide across the wilderness.
One after another, squads of Merrican soldiers rushed out and jumped into tanks. Soon, the tank guns began to turn and point in the direction of the conflict.
Other than the armored vehicles and tanks, there were also rows of artillery guns.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless shells and rockets were launched into the mountain range.
It was quite an awe-inspiring scene.
Tang Hao was stunned. The scene was like a Hollywood blockbuster!
‘Is there a need for that?’ He was speechless.
Early and middle period cultivators would not be able to withstand such intense firepower. They would immediately be blasted to bits.
As expected of the Merrican army, their equipment was many times better than the Hindustani and Nanyang troops.
Tang Hao could not help but be impressed.
Those soldiers did not have the time to pay attention to him. All of them were looking toward the mountain range.
After the first wave of bombardment, the second wave came half a minute later. Following that, two fighter jets came from behind and fired a volley of missiles.
Before Tang Hao could recover from his shock, there was another wave of explosions in the sky.
Another eight jets rushed over, including Vulcans and B2 bombers. When they flew near, they emptied their arsenals as though missiles did not cost money.
Tang Hao was dumbstruck.
That level of firepower was scary.
Even he would not be able to withstand the attack.
“Who’s the enemy?” Tang Hao muttered.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly shot into the sky from the mountains and turned into a vague human figure. It raised its hand and fired bolts of lightning toward the planes.
The jets quickly dodged aside.
One of them could not dodge in time. Its right wing was hit, the jet lost its balance, and fell into the mountains.
Tang Hao was shocked.
‘Isn’t that Thea?
‘But why is she fighting against the Merrican army?
‘Is there a rebellion in White Mountain?
‘That can’t be the case!
‘None of the people from White Mountain were strong enough to fight Thea.’
“Never mind. I should go and help her!”
Tang Hao could not sit still when he saw the intense firepower from the army.
There were people in the mountains, and if the bombardment continued, they would all die.
At that moment, he floored the accelerator and rammed toward the checkpoint.
