No one is a fool, not even the Mutants.
Lin Yuan's Sonic Boom Attack had only succeeded once before the Mutants quickly adjusted their strategy and deployed their defenses.
It was quite simple to understand; their Enhancement Level had reached 188. This meant that as long as they protected their ears, they wouldn't be stunned and could attack without being affected.
Moreover, around the Observation Towers, they rapidly constructed dozens of structures similar to Anti-Air Turrets, capable of launching concentrated Rocket Launcher fire in a fan-shaped pattern, effectively covering several kilometers in an instant.
Under such high-density strikes, even at four times the speed of sound, if Lin Yuan dared to use his Sonic Boom Attack again in that vicinity, he would surely regret it!
After suffering some losses, Lin Yuan hurriedly retreated. What frustrated him even more was that his actions seemed to have completely enraged the Mutants, who subsequently dispatched a full fifteen combat aircraft to patrol around the S-5 Sub-base day and night.
This situation certainly terrified the Gatekeeper, and Lin Yuan was equally astonished. According to the number of Laser Annihilation Bombs at the S-5 Sub-base, it seemed unlikely they could withstand the onslaught of those crazed Mutants if they were willing to pay an enormous price, including the destruction of a hundred aircraft and at least five thousand Mutant casualties.
Of course, this outcome was calculated by the Gatekeeper, not by the higher-ups among the Mutants, as they were unaware of the true strength of the S-5 Sub-base.
Thus, unless absolutely necessary, the Mutant leaders had not yet made up their minds to attack the S-5 Sub-base.
However, Lin Yuan was not afraid at all. He had already thought it through; if those Mutants dared to assault the S-5 Sub-base, he would immediately use his twenty thousand credit limit to purchase an entire set of Laser Defense Annihilation Bomb Systems. After all, he intended to live there for a long time!
After a stalemate lasting five or six days, Lin Yuan realized that a large-scale war was unlikely to break out. Those damned Mutants simply wanted to trap him inside the S-5 Sub-base. This way, he wouldn't be able to gather the various resources needed for his missions. Before long, he would go bankrupt and be exiled. This tactic was indeed quite cunning.
Lin Yuan even speculated that these Mutants were likely starting to deploy Observation Towers on a massive scale within thousands of kilometers around him. As soon as he dared to fly out from the S-5 Sub-base, there would be no way to evade detection by these Observation Towers. They would lock onto his direction and send aircraft to harass him based on that information.
Because Lin Yuan wanted to gather various resources, he couldn't stay in the air forever; he had to land eventually. Once he was on the ground, without the advantage of speed, he would be vulnerable to the Mutants. A few Elite Warriors could easily take him down.
Indeed, it had to be this way!
After reaching this conclusion, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and frustration. Although he was reluctant to admit it, the war between him and the Mutants had turned into a game of hide and seek.
"I still need a satellite."
Lin Yuan thought to himself. Given the craziness of the Mutants and the necessity of warfare in the future, having an eye in the sky would undoubtedly make things much easier.
Unfortunately, that remained impossible. Assembling a satellite sounded crazy, and it wasn't just about having one; he would also need corresponding information transmission and reception equipment. Besides, how could he know if the technology in the hands of those Mutants could crack his satellite? It seemed he really knew nothing about this!
After such unrealistic musings, Lin Yuan had no choice but to return to reality. He would continue playing hide and seek with the Mutants and see who could catch whom.
Activating Mouse One, Lin Yuan set off again, aiming westward. As Mouse One ascended, it wasn't long before the Mutant aircraft patrolling around Sub-base S-5 quickly turned around to intercept him.
This was indeed bad news. Although those Mutants also lacked a satellite, they could still lock onto an area within a five-hundred-kilometer radius without any problem. Whether through radar detection or sonar detection, they could roughly pinpoint Mouse One's location. Lin Yuan's only reliance was Mouse One's terrifying speed.
Seven minutes later, as Lin Yuan piloted Mouse One to the edge of Sub-base S-5's air defense identification zone, it was no surprise that a total of fifteen densely packed rocket launchers fired in unison like fireworks. It looked spectacular, resembling a sea of flames covering dozens of kilometers—a indiscriminate attack that was quite terrifying!
In addition, three aircraft approaching from a distance released precision-guided missiles all at once, proving to be extremely fierce.
However, for Lin Yuan, this posed no pressure at all. He quickly maneuvered Mouse One upwards and executed a series of rapid rolls to evade the attacks. In less than two or three seconds, he managed to escape unscathed.
All of this was just the beginning. The Mutant's aircraft pursued relentlessly from behind. Despite the increasing distance, they refused to give up, as one Observation Tower after another on the ground could accurately report the flight path of Mouse One. All they needed to do was keep chasing from behind; as long as they could ensure that Lin Yuan's Mouse One dared not land, they would win.
It was indeed a despicable and vile method.
However, Lin Yuan would not simply surrender. After escaping the pursuit range of those aircraft, he immediately slowed down and lowered his altitude. Using the longitude and latitude provided by the Gatekeeper, he marked the specific location in Intellect. Although this marking was vague, he didn't need it to be too detailed; he just needed to avoid getting lost!
After all, his Mouse One could easily circle the Earth multiple times. However, if he dared to do so, the end result would be getting lost; he wouldn't be able to find Sub-base S-5. That was a risk he couldn't afford to take.
Therefore, if he wanted to play a proper game of hide-and-seek with those Mutants, he first had to ensure that he had a lock on his position relative to the entire Earth's surface.
As long as he successfully marked all the land on Earth, excluding the oceans, he could run around freely. With his speed, he could completely thwart the Mutants' schemes.
Unless those Mutants had the capability to deploy their forces across every square kilometer of land, which was clearly impossible. Even if they had the ability to clone three Mutants every minute, such cloning would undoubtedly require more energy and materials. Could they withstand such a war of attrition?
