I Have A Super USB Drive Chapter 590 – Zhao Shanhe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What, Zhao Shanhe has appeared in New York?”

When Chen Chen heard the news, he immediately showed a look of surprise. He turned his head and looked at the giant egg-shaped black fog in the distance outside the window. “Those two black patches of fog are interlinked?”

Although Chen Chen was not expecting this situation, he was not too taken aback. After all, he had even seen a cosmic life form such as the Consciousness Stealer and even the USB flash drive could shuttle between various major dimensions. What else could astonish him?

At this time, X-112 sent a video. In the video, he could only see a black fog that was much larger than the one in Washington, blanketing Manhattan, New York City. Countless soldiers were stretching out a warning tape not far away.

However, at this moment, a portion of the black fog protruded slightly and then two small figures came out of it and were immediately arrested by the soldiers on the spot.

The camera zoomed in and Chen Chen could see that one of the two figures was Zhao Shanhe and the other was a woman with a bandage on her chest. However, both of them looked to be in a pitiful state. Their bodies were full of scars and even their clothes were in tatters and could not cover them up.

Chen Chen even faintly made out that they seemed to be keeping their eyes closed and there were rows of black things on their eyes.

It was just that Chen Chen could not see what those black things were. After all, the distance was still too great.

“They have been captured by the army of Northern America and the two of them didn’t resist.”

X-112 said, “I’ve dispatched the Black Knights to secretly track the army team that escorted them to see where they will be sent.”

“Only two of them survived?”

Chen Chen frowned. It was obvious that there was a certain danger in the black fog of the image. There were five people under Zhao Shanhe and he himself made six, but one was killed by a furious Chen Chen before.

Now five people had entered the black fog, but only two came out alive.

“I’m going to figure out what they experienced inside.”

As he spoke, Chen Chen turned his head and looked at the Black Knight on the side. “X-112, the Event Horizon and the rescue spacecraft that are returning together have entered the range of the interstellar sweeper, right? If so, begin the attack and take down the two spaceships.”

“Yes.”

X-112 agreed and Chen Chen flew out of the window and hurried toward New York.

Following Chen Chen’s orders, five XTN robots stationed in Miami slowly rose out of the ocean.

The build of these robots was a bit like the Terminator and there were hints of Alita and NS-5 too. Each robot had an over-the-top square cannon muzzle on the back and four pure black missile warheads protruded faintly from the muzzle with a fierce murderous aura.

“Beep!”

When the five robots surfaced, the barrel of one of the robots lifted slightly and aimed directly at the blue sky and a long and narrow sight popped out from the muzzle behind the robot. It began to collect electromagnetic waves from various types of aircraft outside the atmosphere.

“Discovering target…”

“Target confirmed, locking aim!”

“Target has been locked…”

“Successive launches at a frequency of once every five minutes… Three, two, one!”

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, a flare of fire shot up from the sea and directly penetrated the atmosphere at an extreme speed!

“One kilometer, two kilometers, three kilometers…”

As the robot kept speaking, the number indicating the altitude of the missile was flipping rapidly like a stopwatch and it rose to a height of thirty or forty kilometers in one minute!

“It has broken through the stratosphere and is starting to accelerate…”

“…”

“Discarding the first-stage thruster, activating the second-stage thruster!”

“…”

“It has broken through the middle layer and is entering the ionosphere. Discarding the second-stage thruster, activating the third-stage thruster!”

At a speed that humans practically could never reach, the first missile arrived in outer space and quickly circled the earth like a slingshot, accelerating to an extreme through gravity, then shot toward the Event Horizon that was hundreds of millions of kilometers away!

“Discarding the third-stage thruster, activating the maximum power of the fourth-stage nuclear-powered thruster! It’s expected to reach its speed limit in three hours and fifteen minutes and hit the target in three hours, fifty minutes, and twenty-three seconds…”

When this data report was announced, five minutes had passed.

“The Interstellar Sweeper Missile 1-2 is ready to launch…”

To prevent any accidents, Chen Chen prepared a total of 20 interstellar sweeper missiles for the two spacecraft targets. They were launched one after another at intervals of five minutes. In less than two hours, all twenty missiles had flown into the vast starry sky…

The missile launch scene naturally shocked the entire Earth Federation, but with the speed of the interstellar sweepers, forget about interception, they could not even figure out the missile launch site before the five XTN robots disappeared again without a trace.

When these missiles were continuously launched, Chen Chen also came to the sky over New York City.

At a distance of several dozen kilometers, Chen Chen had already seen the huge black fog, which was even more conspicuous during the day, just like a huge black mountain straddling the center of New York City. Its pitch blackness did not reflect the slightest light and it was stifling to the extreme.

Now, the black fog had long been known to the entire world, which had fallen into panic, but Chen Chen did not pay attention to the public opinion in this world. After all, it was not his original world. Chen Chen naturally felt a sense of detachment.

The reason he was willing to take action before was only to use this place as a testing ground. He wanted to see if his intervention could change the destiny of humanity being destroyed.

“Just half an hour ago, Zhao Shanhe and the woman were escorted to the secret military base in Islip.”

X-112 notified, “The two didn’t resist and out of the two, the woman was injured more seriously.”

Chen Chen frowned. He stopped at the top of a building and looked at the location of Long Island. Of course, he who had stolen the information knew that the Islip secret military base was located in Long Island, New York, about 80 kilometers away.

“Since they have been caught, let’s use the God chip to meet him.”

Chen Chen said.

He had a faint hunch that told him, although Zhao Shanhe’s group of people was not as strong as his own, Chen Chen did not believe that the other party would be caught so easily. Maybe this was also part of the other party’s plan.

Thinking of this, he flicked his sleeves, turned, and disappeared from the rooftop.

…

“Who are you two? What is that black fog?”

In a clean, well-lighted interrogation room, Zhao Shanhe was lazily leaning against a chair with his hands in handcuffs. In front of him, a bald interrogator stood up and asked aggressively, “What is your plan? Tell me everything!”

“I’ve told you over and over.”

Zhao Shanhe rubbed his eyes. There were several black scars on his upper and lower eyelids as if his eyelids had been sewn shut.

At this time, he smiled lazily. “I came from another dimension to save you. Your world is on the verge of extinction. Only I can save you.”

“Do you think I’ll believe that?”

The interrogator looked at Zhao Shanhe with a cold expression. “Why did you sew your eyes shut when you entered the black fog? What’s in the black fog?”

Zhao Shanhe could not help sighing and shook his head slightly. Then, he stretched his hands under the table, spread them apart, and a palm-sized black slab faintly flickered on the palm of his right hand.

Suddenly, the bald interrogator’s eyes dimmed slightly as if he had been hypnotized. In the next second, he slowly turned around and left the interrogation room.

After a while, several soldiers walked in, gripped Zhao Shanhe by the arms, and escorted him back to his prison.

“It’s rather comfortable here…”

As soon as Zhao Shanhe returned to the prison, he stretched out lazily, then lay down directly on his bed, humming a little song while thinking about the next countermeasure…

Before he knew it, he fell asleep.

“Patter, patter…”

He did not know how much time had passed. Zhao Shanhe vaguely heard the faint sound of footsteps. The footsteps came from the end of the corridor, approaching from a distance, and soon stopped outside his confinement room.

“Why are they here again?”

Zhao Shanhe, who had been deep in sleep, frowned impatiently. He did not move and directly activated the power of the black slate, trying to control the opponent to turn away but all this while, he still did not hear the opponent’s footsteps leaving.

“Thud, thud, thud…”

The soft sound of knocking on the iron door rang out slowly, echoing in the prison.

“Hmm?”

Zhao Shanhe activated the black slate several times in a row, but the entire time, the black slate could not drive away the opponent. Thus, he opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the door with vigilance.

At the grille of the black iron gate, a middle-aged man who seemed to be a high-ranking official was standing outside the gate with a sullen face, looking at Zhao Shanhe with a blank stare.

Zhao Shanhe was shocked. He turned over, got up, and asked, “Who are you?”

“We met some time ago.”

The other party’s lips and teeth squirmed slowly, but the words spoken were stiff as if this was not a living person. “Zhao Shanhe, I can cooperate with you.”

“You are…”

Zhao Shanhe squinted his eyes and looked at the man alertly. “You are… That young man, the previous owner of the dimension key!”

“Hahaha…”

Hearing this, the other man laughed but the laughter still had a stiff rhythm. “You’ve come to your senses so quickly? That’s right, I’m him.”

“How are you doing this?”

Zhao Shanhe looked even more astounded. “Technology? Or some mysterious power?”

“We can discuss this issue later.”

The other party woodenly replied, “Seeing that only two of you came back, it seems that you’ve failed to remove the antimeme. In that case, you can try to cooperate with me. The result might be different.”

Zhao Shanhe’s expression flickered and then he sneered. “How do you want to cooperate?”

“Tell me everything you know.”

The other party said, “In exchange, I’ll save you first.”

“If I wanted to come out, I’d have come out long ago.”

Zhao Shanhe snorted coldly and said, “The reason I’m willing to be caught by them is just to let them treat Jenny’s injury. When Jenny recovers, I can take Jenny away at any time.”

Hearing this, the slack-looking senior official was silent for a moment and then said, “I understand. In that case, I’ll wait for you outside.”

As he spoke, he slowly withdrew from the edge of the grille, and then disappeared from behind the gate.

It was not until the senior official disappeared that Zhao Shanhe frowned, wearing a thoughtful look.

The high-ranking official was naturally the result of Chen Chen’s use of the God chip. At this time, in a small town more than ten kilometers away from Islip’s secret military base, Chen Chen slowly opened his eyes and frowned. “Zhao Shanhe said that he could leave at any time?”

“Could it be the power of that black slate?”

X-112 asked, “I’ve checked the information from Islip’s secret military base and I’m sure that all the items he was carrying have been confiscated. Since he’s imprisoned there, it’s impossible for him to carry anything else with him.”

“Indeed, when I first encountered him, I also realized this.”

Chen Chen nodded. “When I checked the videos of Zhao Shanhe’s interrogation, I saw that something was wrong. In each interrogation, the interrogators didn’t find anything meaningful at all and then gave up halfway. However…

“That black slate seemed to appear out of thin air. He hadn’t had anything in his hand before, but when he opened his palm, there was an extra black slate in his hand.

“From the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, it can be seen that the black slate has the ability to disrupt people’s thoughts. This weird interrogation recording is likely thanks to his manipulation of the black slate…”

“If this is the case, if you cooperate with him, I’m afraid you have to be careful.”

X-112 was a little worried. “Does it disturb people’s thinking ability? This ability is probably very terrifying.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve faced it before.”

Chen Chen nodded. “There’s probably a limit to its ability to control thoughts. He can control ordinary people but he can’t control me. Otherwise, I’d have been killed when I fought him for the first time.”

Despite saying that, Chen Chen still shook his head a little ruefully. Unfortunately, he could not get a second black slate from the movie, which meant that he had narrowly missed out on this powerful movie prop.

“So, what shall we do next?”

X-112 asked.

“We wait.”

Chen Chen looked up at the sky, and said, “Anyway, we have fired the missiles and destroyed the Event Horizon. The threat from beyond the skies has been vanquished. So, what if we wait for him a little longer?”

…

One month later.

When Chen Chen had been in Event Horizon’s dimension for three months, Zhao Shanhe and a woman who had healed slowly walked out of the Islip secret military base.

The two of them walked out brazenly and a group of troops opened the doors to release the two.

“Phew!”

Zhao Shanhe exhaled. He turned his head and looked at the tightly guarded military base while controlling several high-ranking officials to personally drive the military car to them.

“Get in the car.”

Zhao Shanhe said to the woman beside him. Then, he got into the car first and both of them were directly chauffeured out of the military base.

Nonetheless, just as the military vehicle was halfway on its journey, a young man landed from a high altitude and stood in front of the military vehicle.

“Screech!”

The military car stopped directly in front of the young man.

“You’re finally out.”
