Wang Ye’s tone was noticeably less indifferent than before, carrying a hint of hostility,
because the methods used by the other party
made him extremely displeased.
Old Yi, upon hearing Wang Ye’s words,
couldn’t help but be taken aback internally.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ye had seen through his thoughts in an instant...
He thought his tone and expression were seamless enough,
presenting no strong intentions,
merely chatting like an old friend.
Even if Wang Ye noticed something was amiss, it would be impossible for him to guess that the plan was to have Wang Ye confront a certain country’s military. This was because the remaining challenge locations for Wang Ye were all in remote areas of Europe or South America, distant from any human habitation for dozens or even hundreds of kilometers.
But now, the implication in Wang Ye’s words clearly showed he had seen through his goal.
Old Yi didn’t know how Wang Ye had guessed it, but his apprehension towards Wang Ye increased significantly. By possessing such predictive and observational abilities, Wang Ye could attain unimaginable power and status even without terrifying combat capabilities.
And with his intelligence coupled with a physique and combat capability exceeding the human peak level, Wang Ye was nothing short of a disaster...
Old Yi coughed lightly and first apologized:
"I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to manipulate you. You can refuse my request if you want."
Wang Ye scoffed and said, "If I refused your request, I probably wouldn’t get that thousand tons of graphite ore, right? In the bigger picture, if I reject your request this time, what awaits me might not just be a trivial probe, but endless bombardments instead."
Old Yi’s expression slightly tightened; he hadn’t expected that all his inner thoughts would be seen through by Wang Ye. Although he still held the upper hand in speech, he felt no joy within.
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "I will share the intelligence with you in full detail, and as for the graphite ore, I will have it all prepared before you return to the country."
"Alright. I will depart tomorrow," Wang Ye said. He planned to continue devouring the remaining diamonds today, evolving as many bones as possible into carbon acetylene material. This would ensure more reliable combat power, providing a certain level of defense against unforeseen dangers.
"Also, remember to stay safe. If you encounter lethal danger, retreating is the priority," Old Yi solemnly advised.
"Got it." Wang Ye could tell that Old Yi was being sincere in his advice,
even though the other still harbored apprehensions towards him, there’s no denying that,
Wang Ye had almost never committed any criminal acts like murder or arson up until now.
Old Yi clearly understood this, so as long as Wang Ye didn’t completely lose control and betray him,
he would still consider Wang Ye as one of his own.
In the next half-hour, Wang Ye followed Old Yi to briefly learn about the opponent’s weaponry configuration.
Handheld firearms and ammunition, long ineffective in harming Wang Ye, could be directly ignored; even physically specialized tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds couldn’t damage Wang Ye’s diamond skeleton, at most destroying his surface flesh.
What he needed to be slightly cautious of was their F-35, equipped with an EOTS optical system capable of locking onto Wang Ye’s position from 100 kilometers away, based on abnormal body temperature fluctuations. It could launch a GBU-57 massive drilling bomb to force him underground, followed by a throwing pressure bomb to exhaust the oxygen in the sealed space.
And the electromagnetic railgun, according to the intelligence provided by Old Yi, the opponent seemed to have recently developed a special electromagnetic railgun. The missiles it launches could reach an initial speed of Mach 7, and when firing depleted uranium or tungsten-core composite warheads, their kinetic energy density was sufficient to penetrate 40 layers of carbon acetylene laminate defense. Even if Wang Ye’s skeleton had entirely evolved into carbon acetylene, there was a certain probability of being injured, not to mention that currently, only his finger bones had evolved into carbon acetylene, while other parts were still diamond material.
If such a weapon were deployed, Wang Ye had a 70% probability of being seriously injured and a 30% probability of being directly obliterated. There’s also the possibility of evasion, but that likelihood is too small; not even Wang Ye could easily react to an initial speed of Mach 7.
Fortunately, Wang Ye had a certain level of premonition ability. If he foresaw danger, he could promptly increase his speed to reposition, reducing the likelihood of the electromagnetic railgun hitting him, but it would only lower the probability, not completely avoid the danger.
Besides these, there’s also the so-called FPV suicide drone swarm, where technicians remotely pilot drones to launch suicide attacks on Wang Ye.
Although Wang Ye possesses supersonic movement speed and extreme reaction capabilities, facing hundreds of drones carrying high-explosive warheads diving from various angles in the sky, he might not escape the onslaught.
If hit by one drone’s explosion, given his current diamond skeleton’s defense, he likely wouldn’t be in life-threatening danger. After all, drones have very limited ammunition capacity, only sufficient to blast off his surface flesh.
But what if dozens or even hundreds of drones exploded simultaneously?
Although Wang Ye had a diamond skeleton for defense, a skeleton was ultimately just a skeleton.
If indeed hundreds of drones exploded simultaneously next to Wang Ye,
after the explosion, Wang Ye might be reduced to a crystal-clear diamond framework.
Besides these physical destruction attacks, there were actually many other methods to kill Wang Ye, such as artificially inducing a local high-frequency electromagnetic storm. Although such an attack couldn’t breach Wang Ye’s defenses, it could interfere with Wang Ye’s nerve signal transmission, temporarily forcing him into a seizure state. However, this would affect a wide area, potentially killing innocent residents and risking international treaty sanctions, so it’s highly unlikely this method would be used to attack Wang Ye.
