110: threaten?

In the Shelter Laboratory, Zhang Mengqi was contacting the Hua Xin Group's Shelter via shortwave radio.

"Boss, they said if we don't return their people, next time they'll directly launch a missile and flatten this place," Zhang Mengqi said with a look of fear.

Tian Ming's face was cold. Beside him, Shen Yuan and Shen Yi were squatting on the ground, disassembling the drone that Doggo had retrieved.

Outside, the Enforcement Team and the patrol team were comforting the members within the Shelter.

This attack also showed everyone the terror of a world without rules in the Apocalypse. The technological suppression by the Hua Xin Group made the Shelter members feel threatened. And this threat, in turn, made these people worry about the safety of the Shelter.

Huang Qiusheng and Zhao Pangzi squatted on the ground, not saying a word. This time, the Group had played a dangerous game. Knowing there were Superpower Users here, they still sent a drone to provoke them. That was truly like stirring up a latrine pit, looking for death.

Huang Qiusheng said, "Boss, what the Hua Xin Group does has nothing to do with us. They have already chosen to attack the Shelter, and they probably won't care about our lives anymore."

Tian Ming glanced at Huang Qiusheng and asked coldly, "Do they really have missiles?"

Huang Qiusheng said with a bitter smile, "We are a pharmaceutical group, but the Group's Shelter has a small weapon Laboratory inside that can produce some conventional weapons, mainly for dealing with the Apocalypse. It can produce small batches of light weapons and such. As for whether they have missiles, I really don't know."

The fatty also said, "I know about this. They do have missiles, but don't worry, they are just similar to guided rocket launchers, and there are only two of them. These things are too expensive to manufacture. The internal components are all in testing and cannot be used in the civilian market."

Tian Ming breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't a weapon of mass destruction, it was fine. The highest-ranking person on the Hua Xin Group's side was a Second-Class Ability User, who could solve some material problems, but it was absolutely impossible for them to manufacture all the components of a missile.

"Zhang Mengqi, reply to the Hua Xin Group and tell them to tell their boss to wash his neck and prepare to die." Zhang Mengqi nodded and quickly replied.

"Boss, what if they use those rocket launchers on us? Two hundred kilometers is completely within range!" Zhang Mengqi asked with some concern.

Shen Yi straightened up and said, "Don't worry, they won't hit. This kind of rocket launcher either uses satellite navigation, laser guidance, or terrain matching. Now that the timing service has collapsed, satellite positioning is inaccurate, and with such thick snow, it's impossible for a pharmaceutical company to get accurate terrain data for terrain matching. No matter how much money they have, they can't get it."

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, "Is it possible that they could just fire it based on a ballistic calculation?"

Shen Yi shook his head and said, "That's also unlikely. When the drone attacked just now, the ground coordinate data collected by the high-altitude fixed-wing aircraft needed to match reality. Unless they have a professional team, otherwise, launching rashly with inaccurate data could result in a deviation of several kilometers from the intended target."

Although that was what he said, Tian Ming was still a little uneasy. Such a dangerous factor must be nipped in the bud.

Tian Ming glanced at Huang Qiusheng and asked, "Where exactly is your Shelter's cave complex located?"

Huang Qiusheng's heart tightened when Tian Ming looked at him. It was the Apocalypse, everyone had to survive. If a demigod, even stronger than a Superpower User, went there, the Hua Xin Group was destined to be beaten.

"Boss, let's not go, what if it's a diversion?" Before Huang Qiusheng could finish speaking, Tian Ming interrupted him.

"Less nonsense, mark out the location of your Shelter's cave complex for me."

"Hurry up," Tian Ming urged impatiently.

Huang Qiusheng sighed helplessly: "There's a toolbox under my helicopter seat, and inside it is a satellite phone with the location marked on its high-precision map."

Tian Ming immediately had Doggo retrieve it. In less than five minutes, Doggo brought the phone over. The phone was very thick and heavy, but it was out of power.

Tian Ming shook the phone, instantly charging the battery.

Huang Qiusheng turned it on, authenticated, entered the map, and handed it to Tian Ming.

This map was very detailed, much more precise than so-called navigation maps. It marked the location of the cave complex, the terrain's contours, high ground, and so on.

From the location, it was 205 kilometers northwest. It wasn't far; at Tian Ming's flying speed, it would only take half an hour. If he used an aerial vehicle, it would be even faster.

"Huang Qiusheng, tomorrow morning, you're coming with me," Tian Ming said.

Huang Qiusheng couldn't refuse, because Tian Ming was truly angry. This kind of threat absolutely had to be eliminated in its infancy.

Tian Ming turned and walked outside, saying, "Tonight, disassemble the drone and take out the chip to study it. See if it can be cracked. Then I'll replicate a batch to use for perimeter alert."

In the Shelter's dormitory area, the patrol team had already begun to enforce martial law. Everyone returned to their dorms and turned off the lights.

Director Han arranged for a large number of personnel to stand guard, not daring to let their guard down at all.

Tian Ming was already lying in bed at this time. He didn't dare to fly at night because there were no reference points, and it was easy to get lost.

If he could sense the Earth's magnetic field like animals, he would have navigation abilities similar to flying birds.

Tian Ming closed his eyes. He knew that his abilities depended on his cognition.

"Single channel, Shen Yuan."

Shen Yuan had just finished her work and saw the headset on the table flashing, which meant someone was calling her. She quickly put on the headset.

The call connected, and Shen Yuan's voice came through the headset.

"Boss, it's so late, aren't you sleeping?"

"I can't sleep. How are things on your end?" Tian Ming asked.

"Boss, I've already disassembled the drone. It's very simple, and it uses standard protocols, so it's easy to crack," Shen Yuan said.

"Oh, let me ask you something. Do you know how to sense the Earth's magnetic field?" As soon as Tian Ming said this, he suddenly felt a bit foolish. Shen Yuan was an ordinary person, how could she possibly know?

Shen Yuan's voice came through the headset: "Boss, I can't sense the Earth's magnetic field, but magnetic fields, electric fields, and these things, the reason humans can discover them is because of phenomena. Through phenomena, you can see the essence, understand?"

Tian Ming was stunned and asked, "What do you mean? Don't speak so profoundly."

"Boss, you can think of yourself as a compass. Or, create a tiny magnetic material and feel the direction of the force it experiences in a magnetic field. That way, you can indirectly sense the direction of the magnetic field, can't you?"

"Little Shen, you are truly too smart! This way of thinking is truly amazing. Why didn't I think of it?" Tian Ming was instantly excited. He could sense changes in the microscopic world, and through the combined properties of microscopic particles, he could indirectly sense the existence of a magnetic field.
