In the jungle of Zhongdong, the network signal on Fang Qiu’s phone was still strong as he was using a satellite phone, despite that there was no cell tower within a hundred kilometers.

  After browsing all kinds of information on the forum, Fang Qiu was about to log out.

  But before he clicked to log out of the forum, a prompt suddenly popped up under his account.

  “There is a new post in the user group you’re in.”


  Seeing this prompt, Fang Qiu paused for a moment and then clicked into it.

  However, the webpage changed, and Fang Qiu found that he was led to the home page of the forum.

  He looked down.

  As expected, he saw a new post. This post was posted 30 seconds ago, but at this moment, the title of the post had become bright red.

  On the forum of underground forces, the popularity of the posts and topics was not controlled by the administrator of the forum, but it changed automatically according to the popularity of the posts themselves.

  The title of the post becoming red meant that the post had become very popular in just 30 seconds.

  Then, he looked at the title.

  “Shocking news! The raw plutonium materials were found in the north of the Yisral! See the pictures attached to find the truth!”


  Fang Qiu, who was flying fast in the air, suddenly stopped when he saw the post. He frowned unconsciously and clicked into the post immediately.

  There were only seven words at the beginning of the post: “Please take a look at the pictures!”


  Below the line of words was a series of clear pictures.

  There was a description for each picture.

  “This is a photo from the local.

  “The thing in this photo was accidentally found in a cave by a local resident.

  “From the photo, we can clearly see that these two tubes as thick as fists look like ordinary tubes. They don’t seem to be suspicious.

  “These tubes are about 30 centimeters long. Their usage is still unknown.

  “However, everyone, pay attention to this.

  “There are two characters on the tubes in the photo: Pu.

  “Ordinary people do not know that ‘Pu’ isn’t an English word, but a symbol of an element. This element is plutonium.”


  …


  …


  All the people on the forum were shocked and started discussing it passionately after they saw the post.

  “Oh my God! Could this place be the location of the raw plutonium material mentioned in the plutonium material map?”


  “The chemical symbol of plutonium is really ‘Pu’!”


  “This place looks really like a mine.”


  “One thing happened after another! The matter about John Doe has just come to an end. Now, people are hesitating about where to hunt John Doe, the location of the plutonium mine is exposed! That is to say, the plutonium material map is useless now. What everyone is going to fight for next is this mine!”


  “It’s strange. As soon as Huaxia made an announcement, the location of the plutonium mine is exposed. What a coincidence.”


  “There is something more coincidental. According to the map, this mine is located on the border of the territories under the Truth Division and Gospel Division in Zhongdong. There are more than a dozen forces of all scales near that place, which could be considered the most complicated place in Zhongdong.”


  “Goddamnit! It seems that a war is about to break out!”


  “These local forces aren’t a threat. After all, most of them are following the lead of the Gospel Division and Truth Division. No matter how bold they are, they won’t be able to make too much trouble. The most terrible thing is that the Black Mamba Mercenaries, which is ranked fifth among all the mercenary organizations in the world, is stationed there.”


  “It seems like the Murican military base is not far from that place.”


  …


  Fang Qiu couldn’t help frowning as he browsed through the heated discussion on the forum.

  He learned a lot of information from the post, such as how sensitive the location of the mine was, and the fact that the Murican military base was not far away from that place.

  In the following time, in addition to the underground forces, such as the Truth Division, the Gospel Division, the mercenary organizations, and the foreign forces, even the military forces might join the fight for the plutonium mine.

  After all, the matter had been blown out of proportion. Huaxia’s announcement had hindered Murica’s ambitions and plans of seizing the plutonium material map.

  Without the map, what else could Murica do? They could only watch as Huaxia found the plutonium mine and exploited it. Even if they wanted to seize the mine secretly, they would definitely be discovered and expelled by Huaxia. After all, now Huaxia was not afraid of Murica at all. On the contrary, Murica began to be a little afraid of Huaxia.

  “Murica knows very well that once the plutonium mine is occupied by Huaxia, it would be left behind by Huaxia, which is evenly matched with it now and would advance forward.”


  Fang Qiu frowned and murmured, “So, Murica will definitely participate in this fight. It’s unlikely that they would use their troops to seize the mine, so the probability of them sending metahumans there to fight for it will increase exponentially. Once Murica takes action, the other forces will definitely follow the suit as well. In this way… they will really cause chaos in Zhongdong!

  “What closely linked schemes!

  “At first, they used the map to draw these big forces to Zhongdong. After the map disappeared, they immediately used the holy fruit to replace the map. When they found that their plan of triggering a war in Zhongdong failed, they used their trump card—exposing the location of the plutonium mine. They’re determined to ignite the fire of war in this place.

  “Before that, the Nirvana Organization wants to gobble the mine up secretly, doesn’t it?”


  At the thought of this, Fang Qiu nodded to himself.

  Judging from the current situation, his efforts in Zhongdong had finally worked. Although the Nirvana Organization’s trap was ongoing and getting bigger and bigger, Fang Qiu at least forced them to expose the location of the mine so that the organization failed to exploit it.

  The members of the Nirvana Organization were all desperados. If they were able to exploit the mine, it would be too much of a threat to the whole world.

  “Nirvana Organization has really invested a lot in it!”


  Fang Qiu narrowed his eyes, searched with his mobile phone, and confirmed the direction of the plutonium mine. Then he stepped forward again and quickly disappeared into the forest.

  …


  “A plutonium mine? Is it really a plutonium mine?”


  In the hall of the headquarters of the Truth Division, Ameer, the head of the division, the fat Divine Envoy, and the old military counselor were excited the moment they received the news.

  Ameer, in particular, was shocked to hear the news. He knew very well what this mine meant to the Truth Division.

  As soon as his subordinate finished reporting, he said with great enthusiasm, “Transfer all the people that we can mobilize around the mine to that place right now. Transfer all the free people that we can mobilize under our jurisdiction to that place, too. We must get this mine!”


  …


  “Send our people over there immediately!”


  Like the leaders of the Truth Division, the three leaders of the Gospel Division received the news and instantly became excited and fanatical at their headquarters. Without even thinking, they immediately sent their people over. They even sent our several standard armed forces, looking like they were ready to start a war directly!

  Soon, the Truth Division received the news that the Gospel Division had sent out armed forces and even all the experts under their command.

  “Military Counselor, what do you think we should do?”


  Ameer looked at the old military counselor and said, “That mine is located within the jurisdiction of both our division and the Gospel Division. Now the Gospel Division has sent almost all the available forces under their command there. If we go there like this, will we be at a disadvantage?”


  “Yes.”


  The old military counselor nodded and said, “Be patient. The Gospel Division has sent so many people over there just to tell the world that they are determined to get the mine. The more people they send, the stronger their combat capability will be, and the more easily they would attract people’s attention. Since they like to help us attract people’s attention to the matter, why should we compete with them now?”


  “You’re right.”


  Ameer’s eyes lit up.

  “That mine is located within the jurisdiction of both our division and the Gospel Division. We have a reason to go there, and I believe that when we arrive there, the Gospel Division won’t dare to cross the line. Since they have sent most of their men out, their headquarters must be poorly guarded. If they dare to plot against us in the mine, then we can attack their headquarters directly. The members of the Gospel Division are no fools, so they won’t plot against us.

  “However, after all, we have to get the mine, so we will send some people who are not very strong there openly, and we will need you to go there to protect them secretly, Divine Envoy. At least, we must guard our rights over the mine.”


  Speaking of this, the old military counselor looked at the fat Divine Envoy.

  “Don’t worry, military counselor. I’ll go there quietly tonight and finish what you asked me to do.”


  The fat Divine Envoy swore solemnly.

  …


  …


  All the major mercenary organizations, arms dealers, and various underground forces all sent out spies to the plutonium mine at the same time. They wanted to find out about the current situation at the mine and then decide what identity they should use to intervene in it.

  …


  While all the underground forces in the world were racking their brains to think of ways to get a share of the profits from the mine, the Black Mamba Mercenaries, emboldened by their geographic advantages, posted a post on the forum of underground forces!

  “Announcement: the Greenwich Mountain Range is under the territory of us Black Mamba Mercenaries!”


  It was just a simple line of words.

  But it gave everyone a strong sense of provocation.

  Could the Truth Division and the Gospel Division agree to it?

  Could the other mercenary organizations agree to it?

  Could the envoys from the major five countries agree to it?

  …


  L’hexagone, which had lost its first envoy, immediately sent a new envoy over there when they heard the news.

  Isabel, the special envoy of Anglan, Lester, the special envoy of Murica, and Yakov, the special envoy of Rashk, received an order from their countries respectively at the same time. They immediately set off for the Greenwich Mountain Range, where the mine was located!

  As the special envoy of Huaxia, Fang Qiu naturally wouldn’t lag behind. While heading to the Greenwich Mountain Range, he paid attention to the posts on the forum of the underground forces.

  To his surprise, he found that the forum had been in chaos and was flooded with all kinds of news.

  “Is this Black Mamba Mercenaries courting death?”


  Fang Qiu shook his head and said speechlessly, “They insisted on taking the mine as their own territory. Aren’t they taking the initiative to cause contradictions?”
