THE MIGHTIEST LITTLE PEASANT

511-520

Chapter 511: Out of Hand

More alarms rang in the command center.

The entire base descended into chaos.

There were many different types of alerts signifying different threat levels. The lowest and most common was Level E. Level D was the next highest level, and it happened once every few months.

Level C, the next level, was already considered a high-level threat.

Level B was the second-highest threat level. It was extremely serious. The Department of Defense would be notified, and the army would be deployed.

Finally, Level A was the highest threat level. That would mean a national-level threat. The President would be notified.

Of course, there were rumors that higher threat levels than Level A existed. However, no one was able to verify those rumors.

The alert that was raised in the base was Level B. That was considered a very serious threat.

“Go go go!”

Squads of soldiers rushed out of the buildings in the base. They ran toward the airfield and rode on transport planes.

A group of menacing-looking men in black robes carrying wooden staves also came out of the buildings and got on the planes.

The planes took off and flew toward L City.

Things were also getting busy in a military base near L City. Squads of soldiers gathered, and Black Hawks flew into the air toward the city area.

Meanwhile, the public broadcast system in L City broadcast an emergency newsflash that played on every television screen.

Police cars scrambled everywhere.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“Do I look like I know? I heard that it’s a terrorist attack. There’s a bomb, I don’t know what type, but it looks scary.”

Such conversations were happening everywhere in L City.

Tang Hao listened to all the commotion going around him as he sat there. He was somewhat baffled.

“Is there a need?” He mumbled.

“Whatever. I should get more coffee!” After he finished his current cup of coffee, he went into the cafe and poured himself another cup.

The sun was setting.

Whir! Whir! Whir!

A fleet of military helicopters appeared from the edge of the city.

“F*ck!”

Tang Hao rolled his eyes when he saw the imposing scene.

It seemed as though things were getting out of control. He only wanted to warn Department X to stay away, but it looked as though they were coming for war.

‘Well, whatever. I’m not afraid anyway!’

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A fleet of unmanned drones flew across the sky like falcons. A few of them whizzed over Tang Hao’s head.

Tang Hao lowered his head and took another sip of coffee.

Meanwhile, a convoy of vehicles drove into the city. They were parked about ten blocks away from Tang Hao.

The civilians had already been evacuated. The military set up a makeshift command center there.

The doors of the vehicles opened. Several military officials stepped out from the cars in front. All of them had an X-shaped pin on their shoulders. From the cars in the middle, men dressed in long black robes got out.
