Chapter 109: Mars’s Internal Warfare
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The internal warfare of Mars suddenly erupted with no prior signs, completely exceeding the expectations of everyone.
The Mars Revolutionary Army, who was originally like rats hiding under the ground, was now like the warm sun rays after the rain, seeping out continuously, causing an uprising in all the underground cities of Mars, seeking to overthrow the government. The fires of war could be seen everywhere.
For a period of time, the entire situation on Mars was absolute chaos.
The battles were extremely fierce and spread extremely quickly, akin to wildfire.
The entire Mars was embroiled in war.
Feng Lin paid attention to the news on Mars. He discovered that the map of Mars actually segregated Mars into two portions, one red and one blue. They appeared like two wild beasts trying to bite and claw at each other. All kinds of weapons such as mechas, fighter jets, particle cannons, could be seen on the news. All sorts of anti-personnel weapons were deployed, and the situation quickly reached a climax.
Luckily, Mars was considered quite a barren planet. The majority of humanity lived underground, or else, given the denseness of the artillery fire, humanity on Mars would have already been extinct several times.
The mountains on the surface of Mars were blasted to flat ground, craters pockmarked the surface of the ground. The appearance of Mars underwent a huge transformation.
The blue regions shown on the map was the territories controlled by Mars’s government. The Mars Revolutionary Army was the one controlling the red regions. Their territories expanded from small to large and were like a small fish that was constantly growing by devouring the territories of the blue regions. In the end, the small fish transformed into a Kun fish that could devour everything in the world.
Now, Mars was completely separated into two factions.
All these changes occurred in a short span of half-a-month worth of time. From the displayed map, the red territories continuously expanded in a certain direction—toward the s.h.i.+tai City of Mars!
Right now, the atmosphere inside the Giant Pharmaceutical Company also changed. It was now so tense that it would cause people to feel stifled.
The Giant Pharmaceutical Company was one of the top few financial groups on Mars. They were stationed here and were mortal enemies with the Mars Revolutionary Army.
Even a fool could tell that the Mars Revolutionary Army was clearly here for the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.
If they could swallow this piece of fatty meat that was the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, the strength, finances, and technology of the Mars Revolutionary Army would climb up to another tier.
Hence, the wealth of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company was something the Mars Revolutionary Army wanted to obtain at all cost.
Uniformed soldiers could be seen patrolling the in-and-outs of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. The number of guards increased, and there were detailed security checks for anyone who wished to enter or exit.
Even people from the R&D department was affected. There was a feeling of anxiety in the air.
Yet, Feng Lin was so calm as though nothing was happening.
In actuality, Feng Lin himself didn’t know if he was the one who caused this internal warfare.
If this really was the case, wasn’t the reaction by the Mars Revolutionary Army a little too great after they received the news he had sent them?
During these days, Feng Lin focused and worked hard on his cultivation. He gained another two primeval genetic points. His vitality stat broke through the 45.0 mark and reached 45.8.
However, he didn’t instantly add those points.
As his vitality stat increased, the changes to his body became increasingly obvious. It was not suitable for him to add too many points in a short period of time or other people might be able to see through him.
In addition, because he had added points to his Stone Monkey Gene too quickly before this, his abilities explosively increased but he wasn’t completely used to them yet. This would affect his control over his abilities. If he added more points in such a short span of time again, it might spoil things through his excessive enthusiasm.
Although Feng Lin thirsted for strength, after he experienced the lifeforce overdraft back when he had still been a cultivator apprentice, he now understood the meaning of slow and steady progress. He wanted to stabilize his foundations first.
Also, there was no need to mention about the immense benefits of keeping free primeval genetic points. During crucial times, he could instantly recover to his peak state by adding and strengthening his gene.
This was truly an ultimate technique.
When Feng Lin was still weak, he depended on this ability to climb up twenty levels of the illusory martial paG.o.da in a single attempt.
He wanted to leave some free genetic points in reserve in case the situation changed for the worse. Who knew, they might prove to be of great help to him then.
The more chaotic the outside situation grew, the more Feng Lin wanted to stay in the shadows.
During such a period of commotion, those who stood out would surely be shot down. He chose to keep a low profile for now to wait for his chance.
Should he silently leave Mars or should he try to profit from the situation and seize the secrets in the mythological ruins of the Furnace Immortal Sect?
He was waiting silently for things to become even more chaotic. After that, he would then find a suitable opportunity to get what he wanted. However, if things happened contrary to his will, he would decisively choose to leave with no hesitation.
He wouldn’t bet his little life into this vortex of chaos just for a moment of greed.
No matter how great the mythological ruin might be, it wouldn’t be more valuable compared to his little life.
As to the meaning of cultivation, one had to cultivate their life first before cultivating their character.
If he lost his life, wouldn’t everything be just like a dream? All his accomplishments would fade away to nothing.
As Feng Lin thought he could continue laying low, one day when he was a.s.siduously cultivating, his id microchip suddenly vibrated and a 3D projection of a human appeared. This person was clad in traditional long robes of Mars. If it wasn’t Luke from the Mars Revolutionary Army, who else could it be?
He glanced at Feng Lin and smiled. “Many thanks, Feng Lin! The news you sent me was extremely valuable. Initially, our Mars Revolutionary Army was divided into two factions—the insurrection faction and the peaceful faction, acting as a balance for each other. After receiving your news, we from the insurrection faction finally obtained the authority to initiate our plans, and we started the uprising in advance. It’s just that we have no idea about the number of troops and secret information of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, could we trouble you to…”
Click!
The video streaming ended suddenly. It was Feng Lin who took the initiative to close it.
Not only that, but he also rapidly deleted all the information regarding this, including the source of the information.
From the start to the end, he was only making use of the Mars Revolutionary Army. He wanted them to fight against the Giant Pharmaceutical Company based on their irresolvable disputes.
Only then would he have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
Ever since the very beginning, he didn’t wish to have any connection with the Mars Revolutionary Army.
The more he interacted with them, the more dangerous it would be for him.
Moreover, this Luke from the Mars Revolutionary Army actually really treated him like his spy and asked him to divulge more information.
Feng Lin didn’t even wish to hear a single of such sentences.
So it turned out that the Mars Revolutionary Army had long since planned for an uprising. It was just that their internal factions weren’t united. A secret message from him actually became the trigger point, allowing the two internal factions of the Mars Revolutionary Army to unify their viewpoints, causing internal warfare to occur on Mars.
This was something Feng Lin didn’t expect.
Not only him, but most probably no one would have thought of it This was such a large-scale inner warfare for Mars yet was actually caused by the information divulged casually by a nameless someone.
Feng Lin himself was also stupefied.
Seems like the stakes have gotten much larger!
In any case, Feng Lin didn’t wish to think about this anymore. He was going to terminate the contact he had with the Mars Revolutionary Army and keep sticking to the shadows.
He, who was now already an interstellar cultivator, naturally had extraordinary strength and couldn’t be considered a weakling on Mars. No matter how bad the situation got, he would still have the strength to protect himself.
Also, Feng Lin felt that only the abilities of his variation primeval Stone Monkey Gene—impenetrable by sword and spear and impervious to fire and water—would provide the greatest degree of self-protection under the barrage of those high-technology weapons.
The war spread like wildfire, continuing to extend forward.
The Mars Revolutionary Army swept through all obstacles with invincibility. They were like a wave of heavenly fire, wanting to scorch the entire Mars clean, completely changing the sky and earth. Everywhere they pa.s.sed by, the Mars Government Army encountered defeat, leading to ever-dwindling morale.
Even Feng Lin, who was the cause of all this, was stunned by the shocking destructive might of the Mars Revolutionary Army.
It seemed like the army must have prepared for this for a long time.
As time pa.s.sed, the situation grew increasingly worse. The Mars Revolutionary Army was like a fired arrow shooting straight for the s.h.i.+tai City.
The Giant Pharmaceutical Company could no longer sit still and remain calm. They also sent out their own information network.
Another five to six days then pa.s.sed…
Feng Lin watched the news. And to put it metaphorically, he discovered that the internal departments of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company were like small ocean waves entering the sea of fire, trying to douse it. Nothing they had done caused even the slightest bit of smoke. They were soon completely engulfed.
The atmosphere in the Giant Pharmaceutical Company now felt extremely heavy and tense.
Although it was a private business organization with its own troops, how could such troops be comparable to a real army?
In that case, what was the Giant Pharmaceutical Company planning to do next?
Feng Lin silently observed and involuntarily felt curious.
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
Another three days pa.s.sed. And when Feng Lin was playing around with these egg-humans, researching on the best way to crystallize the Green Giant Potion, the entire s.p.a.ce suddenly trembled.
Feng Lin and the others turned their gazes over, seeking for the source of the commotion.
It was unknown when, but the clones in the gla.s.s cabins had suddenly awakened. Their naked bodies stood up straight on the alloy floor, like soldiers of an army, exuding an imposing aura.
Each of the clones was tall and had very muscular physiques. They were like the statues of heroes from Greek’s mythology which had come back to life.
All of them had golden hair, so radiant that they resembled the sun. They opened their eyes, no expressions on their faces at all. They were like robots without the slightest breath in them.
This bizarre and terrifying army would surely cause their enemies to feel a chill down their spines.
Numerous sentient robots prepared ray guns, armor, army packs, and various military equipment for them.
There were only a few mechas.
Each mecha was a war machine that could only be created by a vast amount of wealth. Even for such a large financial group like the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, they only had a total of three mechas.
RUMBLE~
The mecha over a hundred meters tall at the front started moving first, leading the way. The clones quickly wore the military equipment issued to them by the robots. They adjusted themselves to uniformity and were like a torrent of steel surging forward.
The physiques of these clones were as fit as a hunting leopard. The moment they moved, it was like they were one unit. Their sense of rhythm was perfect, and they exuded a sense of majesticness that would intimidate those who saw them.
All sorts of advanced combat techniques were already inputted in their minds. Each of them could be a killing machine on the battlefield.
Upon facing numerous defeats, the Giant Pharmaceutical Company finally chose to employ their strongest trump card.
Feng Lin’s gaze froze. He saw that there was actually a striking symbol on these combat equipment.
“卍”!
This was a character that represented the swastika. It was made up of two inverted lightning-shaped letter ‘S’ and combined with a tilt.
“The n.a.z.is…?”
