Inhuman Warlock-Novel

Chapter 320 - 320: Tip Of The Iceberg

Xander wanted to argue, but he realized that there was truth to it. He wasn’t in any condition to fight now. He couldn’t even move.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded his head. His heart was filled with frustration of not being able to do anything as the APF was destroyed from its core. All he could do was do whatever it took to survive for the moment.

"Alright. Do it," he said after the initial struggle.

The doctor moved over to a drawer. Opening it, he brought an injection out. He also brought out a small vial.

"Lie on the bed," he commanded Xander.

Xander laid on the bed as he watched the white-robed man step closer to him.

The doctor rubbed the forearm of Xander with a cotton swab before he inserted the injection which had the medicine.

"You stay safe as well," Xander told the doctor as he started feeling sleepy. He knew that it wasn’t only him, but even the doctor who was in danger.

Xander’s heartbeat slowed down as he soon fell asleep, it seemed.

"I will, my friend," the white-robed man said as he sighed.

He kept the injection back.

"I guess I should surrender now as well."

He left the room and went towards the fourth floor.

...

Lucifer remained in the broadcast room, sitting on the chair comfortably. He didn’t leave the place as he believed there wasn’t a need for him to get involved. Now he had people to do his bidding.

"So this is what authority feels like," he muttered as he rested one of his legs above the other. "Not bad at all."

"Taking over the APF base is only a minor thing though. The biggest obstruction will be taking over the Capital. That’s the place which is most fortified. Even Raia hadn’t been able to attack that city even once," Lucifer thought, frowning.

"The Hunter Union base will be there as well. Most of the guilds are there as well. Taking over that place with only a few people that we have left will be very time consuming."

"I wonder how much information Jiang has managed to collect?"

He brought out his phone and called Jiang.

The call was picked on the first ring itself.

"Little Boss, how are you?" A voice came from the other side.

"Are you in the Capital City?" Lucifer asked, not divulging in small talk.

"That’s right. I’m here," Jiang answered. "I must say, it’s a beautiful city indeed. But it’s also a lot different than the other cities."

"What’s the situation of the war with APF? I thought it would be all over the news, but for some reason, we have no coverage of that yet? Did the war not happen?" he inquired.

"Don’t worry. The coverage will soon be in every part of the country. It’s not easy to keep a completely annihilated city a secret. It’s just that we finished it fast, so we’re ahead of the news for the moment," Lucifer answered.

"So, how did it go? I assume you won since you’re talking to me?" Jiang inquired.

"That’s right. APF is annihilated. In fact, I’m sitting inside their base right now. We have taken over this place as well," Lucifer replied.

"APF base?! The place there’s known to be the most secure place in the entire country after the Capital City? And so fast? H-how? Tell me you’re kidding!" Jiang exclaimed in shock.

"It is not as difficult as you thought. Anyway, did you do the task I gave you? Did you manage to find out about the security of the city?" Lucifer asked, bringing the topic back.

"I did find a few things but not a lot. It’ll take a few days. So far, I only know the basics," Jiang answered.

"Tell the basics that you know," Lucifer replied.

Jiang started explaining without any wait. "First, it starts at the airport. There’s strict checking of all the passengers that get on a flight to get to the Capital City. Their names are checked against a special list."

"The list contains the names of people of interest that can pose a danger to the Capital. All the Uprising Members, criminals, and so on are on the list. They won’t even be allowed to board the flight. And even if they did, there’s another screening at the Capital Airport."

"The defense of Airport is really crazy though. Passing through it undetected is hard. Moreover, the Hunter Union is nearby. Within a few minutes, any enemy would be surrounded even if he managed to break the defense of the airport."

"Furthermore, you need a special visa to enter the Capital. Even to take a cab, you’ll need to show that Visa. It’s pretty crazy here."

"Fortunately, I have a permanent visa as the Owner of Welling Construction. But despite that, I had to go through thorough questioning at the airport."

"They asked me hundreds of questions regarding my reason for arrival. It was so tiring. But I passed that place."

"Ignoring the airport security, I’ll talk about the City security now. There are four routes that enter the city through the land."

" Other than these routes, there’s no other way to enter. There’s a thick concrete wall all around the city. And that’s not all; there are many stands for the army on top of the walls."

"Thousands of the finest in Elisium Army are there, making sure that no one crosses the wall. Anyone seen coming towards the wall will be shot without any questions asked. The only exception is if that person was coming through one of the four routes."

"And even in those four routes, there is exceptional checking. First, there’s a checking station about a mile away from the entrance."

"If you fail there, you’ll be shot. If you pass, you’ll be allowed to go ahead. And if you attack the people there, thousands of army men would attack you."

"All the defenses of the city will activate. What I can say is that if a person doesn’t want the bullets to rain on him, he shouldn’t attack the First Post checking members."

"That’s just the tip of it. I also heard about some motion sensors and the laser attack, but I need to confirm that. For now, I can’t confirm that," Jiang explained to Lucifer.

"The tip of the Iceberg, huh. Not bad," Lucifer commented as he tried to think of a way in.

He couldn’t go to the airport. He couldn’t go through the land route. He wondered if there was a simple path.

He wasn’t worried about the rain of bullets, but he wanted to be sure that there was no other way before trying that.
