Chapter 178 FBC Blockade
A moment later, Parker took two more P90s, several magazines and two sets of equipment from the helicopter and delivered them to Yang Ren and Claire.
After checking the status of the weapons and preparing to set off, Aisha on the helicopter suddenly spoke:
"The situation on the floating island is so dangerous now. Is it really okay for the two of you to stay here?"
Yang Ren paused as he was leaving, turned around, and met the worried gazes of Aisha and Yak.
Having witnessed the horror of the hunters with their own eyes, coupled with the unreliability of their weapons and equipment, they naturally expressed their concerns from the bottom of their hearts.
"It's just a small scene. We've experienced it many times before." Yang Ren responded calmly.
"To be honest... I seem to suddenly understand the relationship between you and Claire..."
Aisha smiled self-deprecatingly and glanced at her best friend Claire who was standing next to Yang Ren. The latter had a puzzled expression on her face.
Yang Ren did not pursue the matter and let the past be the past.
"Please help take care of Clara."
After saying this, Yang Ren closed the helicopter door and watched the two helicopters slowly rise and fly away until they were completely out of the floating island.
"Okay, it's time for us to set off."
……
The FBC soldiers took the lead, and Yang Ren, Claire, and Parker and his team followed behind.
Walking down the elevator of the building, Yang Ren used his watch to contact his own quick reaction force.
"HQ (Headquarters), where is the quick reaction force now?"
"——Wait a moment, Boss. I'll connect you to the fourth quick response team right away..."
The voice of Liaison Officer Rita came from the other end of the voice chat. After a moment, Kevin, the captain of the Fourth Quick Response Team, replied:
"Boss, we just arrived at the NATO military airport in Sicily, Italy, the Sigonella Naval Air Base."
"We are expected to reach Terra Grigia in an hour, but a large FBC force is also stationed here. They won't allow us to continue to the floating island."
After hearing Kevin's report, Yang Ren frowned instantly:
"What do you mean? What do you mean the FBC people don't allow you to go to the floating island?"
"——Not only us, but also people from the European Union and some reporters seem to be stopped from going to the floating island for rescue."
"——It seems that the EU has already started a quarrel with the United States. You'd better go and see it yourself..."
As soon as Kevin finished speaking, Yang Ren hung up the call and opened the Internet to check the latest news.
As expected, the Internet is flooded with reports about the "floating island encountering a biological terrorist attack", and there are also some EU condemnations of the United States, all of which are criticizing FBC leader Morgan for not allowing the EU to intervene in the floating island incident.
Without further ado, Yang Ren asked Parker for his cell phone again and called Morgan's private number.
"(Chinese) Morgan! Fuck your mother!!!"
Morgan, who had just answered the phone, was shocked by the sudden and harsh Chinese voice.
Although I don't know what this sentence means, but from the tone it's definitely not a good thing.
"Now what?!"
"——Why don't you let TerraSave and the EU intervene in the floating island incident?!"
Hearing this, Morgan on the other end of the phone smiled and continued:
"Have you forgotten that according to the treaty outlining the governance of the city, 'In the event of a terrorist attack, the United States and Europe have equal authority, and during a "bioterrorism" incident, the FBC has absolute control over all related matters'?"
Morgan's self-confidence immediately made Yang Ren angry. He cursed and questioned with his neck almost red:
"Isn't it true that the more powerful the military intervention, the faster we can eliminate the biological weapons on the floating island? Are you taking the situation on the floating island as a joke?!"
"Do you know that the longer we delay, the more survivors on the floating island will die?!"
"——Oh? A powerful military intervention to eliminate biological weapons?"
"——Could it be... that you are an accomplice of Greyhound and intend to help them cover up their crimes? Or are you eager to prove yourself to the world?"
Even so, Morgan remained unmoved, and even threatened directly with the charge of being an accomplice of Greyhound.
Perhaps he suddenly thought of something, and he added:
"Your men had better not try to force their way in, or they will be arrested for "disrupting combat operations". Don't blame me for not reminding you~"
After the words fell, this time it was Morgan who took the initiative to hang up the phone.
This provocation made Yang Ren even angrier, and he almost crushed Parker's phone.
The veins on his arms were bulging, and his face was almost completely red and warm. Even Claire had never seen him so angry.
"Don't be so angry, calm down..." She touched Yang Ren's back and said softly.
"Sweet bastard, if I didn't have the support of the President and Vice President of the United States behind me, I would really be afraid of you...!"
Cursing to himself, Yang Ren returned the phone to Parker, and the watch interface slid to the call with Kevin:
"Did you hear that, Kevin?"
"Get in!"
……
FBC Operations Command.
"Fight with me? Nicholas, you are still a little naive~"
Morgan, who had just hung up the phone, smiled triumphantly and put the phone in his pocket.
However, within a few seconds, a liaison officer in the command room suddenly turned around and said to Morgan:
"Sir, the rescue teams hired by TerraSave are starting to move!"
Hearing this, Morgan narrowed his eyes and silently admired Yang Ren for actually daring to ignore his words and let TerraSave break through the FBC blockade.
Without even thinking, he gave the communicator an order: "Shoot it down."
"what?"
The communicator obviously did not expect Morgan to make such a decision and was hesitant.
At a time when all of Europe and even all of humanity are facing biological and chemical terrorist attacks, Morgan's behavior can be said to be tantamount to infighting.
"Didn't you hear me? Shoot them down! That's an order!"
Seeing the communicator hesitate, Morgan immediately reprimanded him.
There was no other choice, so the communicator had to tremblingly connect to the FBC combat personnel at Sigonella Naval Air Base.
"According to Chairman Morgan's order, shoot down the TerraSave rescue team's vehicle."
After saying this at a normal volume, the communicator whispered again in a voice that Morgan behind him could never hear:
"Just pretend, don't really hit it..."
……
Sigonella Naval Air Station.
Shortly after dozens of helicopters marked with the TerraSave logo took off, a hydraulic support device slowly lifted up the twin-mounted missile launcher on a launch platform on an open space somewhere in the base, facing the floating island.
Woo—Puff—!
A "Patriot-3" theater-level air defense missile ignited and flew out, leaving a long trail of white smoke, heading straight for a helicopter formation that had just flown not far away over the sea.
