Chapter 342: 342. Who am I?
Next, Lu Yao only needed to wait for Sergey to bring the nuclear bomb, and the operation would be considered a complete success.
According to the agreement, it would take about two days.
He didn't idle, either, once again venturing into Chernobyl's "Sarcophagus" to bask in a lethal dose of radiation.
The Innate's cultivation efficiency here was no longer high, but it could be used to charge the Star Key.

Together with his own Mind Force, he estimated he could charge it to 15% in two days, which was enough for daily use.
But while Lu Yao was reveling in his radiation bath, the nuclear bomb he'd been brooding over encountered an accident.
~~~~~~~~~
The Kyzyr-Tashk Mountains.
"Cough cough..."
The mountain air carried a hint of chill, and General Sergey coughed violently a few times.
The sound of gears meshing, "clank clank," signalled a metal door slowly closing.
Sergey personally led a few subordinates out of this abandoned underground bunker, transporting a metal box.
Inside was something resembling a gas cylinder, an actual nuclear warhead produced during the era of the Former Steel Alliance.
When the nuclear arsenal was being dismantled, Yukolun secretly hoarded a batch of nuclear bombs as a trump card for future rise and revival.
But now it seemed that no matter what advanced weapons one had, they were all useless.
Sergey sighed, realizing that what this country desperately needed was not material things.
~~~~~~~~~
Several guards hoisted the nuclear bomb onto a van.
After ensuring everything was in order, Sergey also got in the vehicle and suddenly realized something was off—the driver was suspicious!
His guards were all male, yet the driver was wearing a business suit skirt, her brilliant blond hair visible, obviously a woman.
The woman turned around, her turquoise eyes filled with wild beauty, and chuckled, "I'm pleased to meet you, General Sergey. I am Agent Janice from the Foreign Affairs Bureau."
No sooner had she finished speaking than several "pfft pfft" sounds were heard.
Sergey's guards' heads burst with small bloody holes, falling to the ground without a peep, assassinated by silenced bullets before they could even draw their weapons.
Sergey remained unfazed, sitting upright as he straightened his collar and said,
"Agent Janice? I was mentally prepared for your visit. But all this is in vain, I absolutely will not yield."
Agent Janice gently twirled the wedding ring on her ring finger, composedly saying,
"You are a warrior. In our daily operations, we occasionally encounter people like you, fortunately, we have solutions for such cases."
With that, she took out a syringe gun and jabbed it into Sergey's neck, injecting a vial of liquid!
~~~~~~~~~~
A manor on the outskirts of Kiev.
Moscow's agents had already finished packing and were ready to leave.
Having obtained the desired data, what remained was waiting for Sergey to hold a press conference, submit the evidence to the United Nations, and have all sides confront the issue together.
At that moment, the sound of a car parking echoed through the manor.
Anna observed through the surveillance camera that Sergey had arrived with his people, so she stood up and approached the computer.
Following Sergey, four expressionless guards entered the house.
Anna greeted him with a professional smile, "General, the decryption is complete. The documents show—
The laboratory intentionally leaks viruses every year, causing unexplained diseases and deaths among local civilians, while they take the opportunity to collect data and samples.
Among these are anthrax viruses capable of causing widespread infection and unique bacterial strains that lead to leukemia.
The places of dispersion include not only residential areas... but even schools! Just to test the resistance of youth and children to biochemical weapons.
"Such unfathomable evil, you can look it up at your leisure and denounce it to the international community!"
Sergey nodded and walked towards the computer, seemingly eager to check for himself.
But in the next second, his hand suddenly produced a handgun, which he pressed against Anna's forehead: "Give me the data you have on you!"
Surprise flickered across Anna's face but vanished quickly, as she calmly said, "General, do you realize what you are doing?"
Sergey's actions at that moment were tantamount to offending two major powers at once!
The four guards who had followed him in, showed no mercy as they pulled out MP5 submachine guns and began firing indiscriminately around them.
Several of Moscow's operatives, as well as the subordinates Sergey had left behind, were caught off-guard and turned into bloody gourds.
Sergey, with an expressionless face, searched Anna's body and extracted a hard drive, tossing it to one of the guards.
The man caught it with his hand, revealing a "trident-eagle" tattoo on his arm.
Anna's gaze sharpened: "Star Alliance Marine Corps!? You've defected to the Star Alliance Country!?"
She had initially thought Sergey was simply burning his bridges, but it never crossed her mind that he would defect to the Star Alliance Country.
How could this be possible!
~~~~~~~~~
Lu Yao stayed in the stone coffin, seeking out areas with high radiation, as his body would absorb radioactive materials naturally; given a few more turns around, the area would be cleaner than the outside.
Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, he left the place and headed for the manor.
He had just gotten halfway when he surprisingly received two phone calls.
The first call was from Anna, who seemed to be enduring pain, her breathing rapid: "Dont go to the manor! I just escaped from there!"
"What happened?"
"Listen, what I'm about to say might be hard for you to believe, but it's all true! Sergey claims he is an undercover spy for the Star Alliance, and he personally shot my colleagues! I'm warning you seriously—don't go to the manor!"
She hung up after speaking.
Lu Yao was somewhat incredulous: How could Sergey be a person from the Star Alliance? A man close to death, his only desire before passing was to wreck the Star Alliance's biological lab, to give them trouble.
And everything else could be fake, but that boiling spirit was absolutely genuine!
Soon after, Lu Yao received a call from Sergey: "The nuclear bomb is ready. Come get it at the manor."
The voice was exactly the same as usual, only eerily calm.
After hanging up, Lu Yao ran towards the manor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upon arriving at the manor, Sergey warmly greeted Lu Yao.
Numerous soldiers dressed in special operations uniforms steadily advanced, with drones and armed helicopters taking off.
The uniforms of these soldiers were those of the Star Alliance's "SEAL Team."
What Anna said was actually true!
Lu Yao was covered in little red dots from laser sights, surrounded by shouting and hollering, ordering him to surrender.
Lu Yao wasn't concerned with such a minor scene; he was just curious to see what Sergey was really up to.
Sergey aimed his gun at Lu Yao, also slowly closing in, his tactical movements identical to the surrounding "SEAL Team."
Lu Yao looked Sergey up and down, his expression turning strange as he softly asked, "Who are you?"
The soul of the man before him was odd, emitting two types of brain waves... This was as if a person had two heads, truly inconceivable.
Sergey was actually taken aback by this question, freezing on the spot:
"Who am I? I am... I am an undercover agent for the Star Alliance Country, codename 'Cicada'... No, I am the Deputy Secretary of the Yukolun Security Committee, Commander of Special Operations Forces..."
Soon, the old man seemed to fall into mental disarray, starting to pound on his own head while emitting a beast-like roar.
Just then, the 'tap tap tap' of high heels hitting the floor was heard—it was Agent Janice, in her professional business suit, elegantly approachinig.
