Chapter 2831 Failed Interception
Levi and Black Hawk were both rushing at full speed toward the super-spiritual ley line.
Smythe granted them unlimited authority, and they had free use of any weapons they needed from all the bases Zarain had around the world.
Black Hawk did not hesitate to make use of whatever resources they could tap on. Although they knew their tracking and interception system might not work on the two aircraft, they still went ahead to activate all their track-and-shot capabilities.
They were not about to give up on any minuscule chance.
The Defenders of the Galaxy also activated all their fighter jets and ground-to-air attack units, ready to intercept the two aircraft should their paths cross.
Zarain mobilized whatever resources they had and did everything within their means to support Black Hawk and Levi in their bid to save the world. If luck was on their side, they would be able to cross paths with the two aircraft and intercept them.
All the preparation work went on relentlessly for a while, and soon, they were less than two hours from the predicted time of arrival of the aircraft to the South Pole.
The two aircraft had reached the South Pole and were about to zoom in on their target.
Despite all the monitoring and tracking around the South Pole, both aircraft managed to evade everyone’s detection. Digital God’s genius programming went fantastically well. They were able to send out fake positioning or delayed streaming of their true positions to fend off the trackings and arrived at the South Pole safely.
Crack! Crack!
The glacier was no obstacle to the two aircraft as they broke through the thick icy sheets and swiftly flew deep into the ice.
Although the super-spiritual ley line was located deep down in the glacier, with the speed they were traveling at, they could easily reach it within ninety minutes.
They were equipped to break any obstacles that got in their paths, and nothing could stop them.
“Bad news! We failed in our interception! Our two targets had gone into the glacier at the South Pole!” Black Hawk reported to Levi.
Digital God was also able to work out their positions, and he said dejectedly, “We did not manage to stop them before they reach the glacier. We have missed the window of opportunity to intercept them.”
His plan was to reach the South Pole ahead of the two aircraft and then try to destroy them before they head deep into the glacier. Unfortunately, they encountered disruptions mid-way through their journey and failed to overtake the two aircraft.
Black Hawk also wasted more than half an hour due to stupid decisions made by his team, and thus failed to intercept the two aircraft as well.
“There is no way we could catch up with the two aircraft if we use the same route they are using. Our only hope is to find a shortcut that will enable us to reach the destination before them,” Digital God declared.
Black Hawk immediately ordered their nearest base to use their long-range missiles to target a specific point and repeatedly launched the missiles to clear a path into the deep end of the glacier.
Levi also used his raw power to strike out a tunnel into the glacier for Pengornis to enter.
Both parties gave their all in a last-ditch effort to reach the two aircraft before they could inflict any damage to the super-spiritual ley line.
What was to happen within the next hour would be a matter of life or death for humankind.
If Levi and Black Hawk managed to intercept the aircraft, they would have successfully averted the crisis.
If they failed, the world would meet its end.
Erudia and her allies, and the Defenders of the Galaxy were preparing for the arrival of the catastrophe. They tried to bring their rare materials and seeds to safety, hoping they would survive the destruction and enable the rebuilding of human civilization after the disaster.
Meanwhile, those doubters were still unprepared, and some even dumbly declared that they would welcome the end of the world with open arms.
They did not believe in the warnings and were waiting for the passing of the six hours to prove Erudia was wrong.
They were spending their precious time planning on how to make Erudia compensate for the false alarm, instead of preparing for refuge from the disaster.
Erudia and Zarain were closely monitoring Levi and Black Hawk’s progress. When they heard the two had failed in their interception, they were not surprised at all. They were only hoping for the best but they were prepared for the worst.
“We have to speed up our evacuation process!”
Erudia and the Defenders of the Galaxy could only try their best to speed up the evacuation plan.
