"Now I understand." The Black Special Forces Soldier nodded slightly, seemingly accepting Chen Rui's explanation.
"Exactly, so I ask for your assistance in completing this special mission! Afterwards, we will reward you through appropriate channels," Chen Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had spent nearly a quarter of an hour explaining the situation to this group of American Soldiers, but it seemed that their involvement could enhance the success of the mission.
The Black Special Forces Soldier shook his head. "Why should we help you? Even if what you say is true, we have no obligation to assist you in attacking a domestic Nuclear Control Center or even detonating nuclear weapons! Only a madman would do something like that."
"This isn't the real world; it's just a dream. Besides, there are no other solutions!" Chen Rui sighed, crossing his arms and quietly observing the six Special Forces members who looked troubled.
"How can we trust you?" the Black Special Forces Soldier replied coolly. "You might just want the guards there to wipe us out. How can we trust you?"
The Elephant General stepped in front of Chen Rui and spoke first. "You don't need to worry about that. When we assault the Nuclear Control Center, we will be the first wave charging in. Once we fall, you just need to continue with the mission as planned! As for trusting us? Come on, we're standing right here. How can you question our trustworthiness?"
Although the Elephant General's words were somewhat sarcastic, they reflected the current situation accurately. Chen Rui and his team had followed them directly to their base without even checking for traps or anything like that; this was indeed a show of trust.
"Whose plan is this? Who is in charge?" The Black Special Forces Soldier seemed to soften a bit. Chen Rui smiled faintly. "I am in charge; I oversee the entire operation. Of course, if the mission fails, I will bear all the consequences."
"Didn't the Organizer make any demands of you?" the Black Special Forces Soldier asked curiously.
Chen Rui was about to say no but suddenly remembered two requests from headquarters and quickly asked, "Do you have a phone? A usable one!"
The Black Special Forces Soldier didn't expect this reaction from Chen Rui and shrugged helplessly. "We didn't have phones when we woke up in this world, and our current savings can't buy one. We do have a landline that seems usable."
After thanking him, Chen Rui hurriedly picked up the phone and dialed his own mobile number...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
A hauntingly beautiful sound of guzheng music filled the quiet Conference Room One. Upon hearing this sound, everyone was momentarily stunned. Peng Hao was the first to react; he rushed over to Chen Rui's side, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and pressed the answer button.
“Is that you, Chen Rui?!” Peng Hao asked with excitement.
“Notify headquarters immediately. We are preparing to take action. The attack in the Dream World is expected to begin in six hours! During this time, I won't be able to contact headquarters, so if there’s no effect after a while, just forcibly disconnect!” Chen Rui said quickly. At this moment, time was of the essence; every minute wasted increased the danger. He couldn't let hundreds of Special Forces Soldiers risk their lives alongside him.
“Slow down! I can't hear you clearly!” Peng Hao was sweating in anxiety. Chen Rui spoke quickly as it was, and with the time flow in the Dream World being much faster than in reality, Peng Hao couldn’t catch what Chen Rui was saying at all.
Chen Rui stomped his foot in frustration, took a deep breath, and slowly articulated into the phone, “Now... notify... headquarters...”
“Understood! Let’s proceed with that!” Peng Hao replied just before hearing the busy tone on the line. He placed Chen Rui's phone back down and walked over to the control panel, looking at nearly a hundred staff members. “We need to step it up! He’s giving it his all; why should we just sit here doing nothing?”
Xiong Kai coughed twice and shot Peng Hao an annoyed glance. “You should first power on your desk and connect to the main system before saying something like that; it would carry more weight…”
“I—” Peng Hao felt both amused and exasperated by Xiong Kai’s usual undermining. This guy didn’t seem to realize how serious the situation was, nor did he think it had reached an uncontrollable level. But seeing him undermine his efforts made it hard for Peng Hao to feel pleased.
“Alright! How much time do we have left?” Xiong Kai opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip, impatiently urging.
“The attack on the Nuclear Control Center will start in six hours within the Dream World!”
Xiong Kai's hands began typing on the mechanical keyboard. In no time, he calculated the separation time that Chen Rui mentioned.
“Based on the current flow and speed, along with the previous completion time of the assault mission, if they haven’t disconnected within two hours and fifteen minutes, we will forcibly cut off the connection!” Xiong Kai said seriously as he looked at Peng Hao and the other members of the Execution Team.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
“What do you mean by that?” a Black Special Forces Soldier approached Chen Rui, pointing at the phone.
Chen Rui smiled as he explained, "Just in case, since we have failed, it's definitely better to disconnect as quickly as possible. After all, forcing a disconnection when the Dream Stream is too high at the end is more likely to lead to unexpected issues."
"That's not it..." the Black Special Forces Soldier said, somewhat annoyed. "Do you not trust our abilities?"
"Exactly! Even if you don't believe in them, you should believe in us, right? After all, we are..." Tiger proudly declared, but then realized he almost revealed their secret. He quickly laughed awkwardly and added, "We are the Six Special Forces of China!"
"It's not that I don't believe in you; it's just that this mission is incredibly difficult. We don't have the weapons for a direct assault this time! We also don't have time to hold off enemy reinforcements. We must make a quick entry and complete the detonation of the strategic missile equipped with warheads," Chen Rui scanned the crowd and swallowed hard. "I know you are all exceptional warriors, but some things can't be accomplished by sheer will alone, like those three 1A Main Battle Tanks in the Nuclear Control Center!"
"If we don't enter quickly during our attack and end up delaying until the tank crew boards their tanks or run into a tank that's already operational and on standby, then there will truly be no hope!"
Chen Rui's words calmed the twelve Special Forces members present. The reality was indeed as he said; they had little chance of success with a direct assault, or it was nearly impossible.
The six members of Elephant General were also deep in thought. If they hadn't had Chen Rui's artillery support during their last dream and failed to cover the Ground Base with micro-missiles before entering the Nuclear Control Center, would they have been able to enter so smoothly?
Everyone's answer was essentially the same... either they would enter as remnants or all perish.
After all, while the defensive forces of the Nuclear Control Center were not large, they could not be breached by just a few lightly armed infantry.
This time they lacked Chen Rui's fire support and were even less equipped than during their last dream. They didn't have portable single-soldier missiles or comprehensive tactical gear.
"Alright! Stop overthinking it! We can still do this! Otherwise, why am I here? Come over quickly and listen to my attack plan." Chen Rui picked up a black marker and began drawing a ground map of the Nuclear Control Center on the white wall.
His words seemed to stimulate the hearts of the Special Forces members; almost everyone reluctantly moved to the wall, focusing their attention on Chen Rui's simple map.
"This is the current situation of the entire Nuclear Control Center," Chen Rui said while pointing at the entrance with his black marker. "This is the main gate and the only entrance. If we want to break in normally, we can only choose this route."
"Outside the main gate, there is a road about three kilometers long that connects directly to the state highway, and here!" Chen Rui picked up a marker and drew a large X at the junction of the highway and the access road. "This is also a high-voltage power tower responsible for supplying electricity to the Nuclear Control Center."
"We can't force our way in from any direction unless we go underground, but the underground defenses have a terrifying thickness of one hundred fifty centimeters. It would take half of our H Explosives just to blow a hole, and we can't infiltrate a hundred meters underground in a short time, so we can only launch a ground assault."
"Returning to the surface, the main defensive force consists of automatic heavy Machine Guns and automatic heavy Rocket Launchers. If we destroy the power tower, we can gain nearly a minute of time."
"Nearly a minute?" Black Special Forces Soldier asked. "How long exactly? We need precise intelligence for combat deployment. Even if that Automatic Machine Gun fires one second earlier, it could ruin our plan."
"I don't know for sure, but it won't be less than thirty seconds. Just count on thirty seconds!" Chen Rui rubbed the back of his head; he had indeed forgotten about that timing. Perhaps Elephant General and the others would remember, but their emergence would raise unnecessary suspicions. Right now, the current situation was more important than anything else.
"Thirty seconds? That's troublesome..." Black Special Forces Soldier shook his head. "Entering from the nearest wall and then moving to the underground base entrance is about one hundred fifty meters away. During this time, we would have to withstand enemy fire; it's simply impossible!"
Chen Rui glanced at the map and gestured; it was indeed as he said.
Tiger grinned and snatched the black marker from Chen Rui's hand, marking an X on a point along the Nuclear Control Center's perimeter wall. "We'll carry out the demolition operation here and then rush in!"
"Are you crazy? That's even farther from the underground base entrance!" Black Special Forces Soldier stared at Tiger in shock.
"Who... are we going to walk through the front door?" Tiger smiled lightly, his gaze shifting from the map's underground base entrance to a location closer to their demolition point—the Missile Silo.
"You guys are truly insane!"
Elephant General smiled slightly and said softly, "We're not insane; who else would do this?"
