My skill in becoming a god is landmine mastery.

Yang Yao did not go to the city center with the factory manager, but went to Airport Road by himself.

Airport Road is considered the outskirts of Juxia City. There are very few people living there, and apart from a highway and a tunnel, the surrounding area is mostly wasteland.

Yang Yao remembered that the Taotie soldiers descended on the highway in front of the tunnel. Based on this location, Yang Yao chose a spot with the best view on a distant hillside and used it as a hiding place.

Yang Yao didn't come here intending to fight the Taotie. With his current equipment, fighting Taotie soldiers head-on was, well, a bit overestimating himself. That wasn't skill; that was just feeding them.

The Taotie civilization was a spacefaring civilization; even a lowly soldier there was far more powerfully equipped than I am. It's no exaggeration to say that a single shot from them could take me down.

Moreover, Yang Yao remembered that the Taotie soldiers who came this time were not just ordinary soldiers. As the vanguard of the Taotie to test the waters, this Taotie was stronger than the others.

Yang Yao came here to see the firepower of the Taotie with his own eyes. Even if he had seen it in the anime, could an anime production company really draw the specific firepower of the Taotie soldiers?

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. If Yang Yao doesn't see it for himself, what if other soldiers encounter a similar situation later?

Time passed slowly. Yang Yao lay hidden behind the hillside, chewing on a blade of grass he had casually picked. The grass smelled wonderful.

At the same time, they didn't forget to carefully check the landmines on the ground. Just then, a number of tanks drove up on the highway, and some Chinese soldiers began to set up bollards on the highway.

Yang Yao perked up, slung the landmine over his shoulder, and stared intently at the distance below.

It seems that Dukao has put in a lot of effort. He has already transmitted the location of the Taotie soldiers he detected to the Chinese high command. Luckily, I sneaked in beforehand, otherwise it probably wouldn't have been so easy to get in!

However, Dukao really played his cards well, passing the message to the top levels of China and letting them experience firsthand how troublesome the Taotie was.

Knowing the power of the Taotie, he knew China wouldn't be able to resist these aliens. He could then use this as leverage to establish the Super Soldier Corps, legitimately using China's resources to support these super soldiers.

By using someone else's resources to their advantage, it seems that Dukao has learned quite a bit about China after living here for so long!

Otherwise, with only one Taotie soldier, and Rose being sent over, would that Taotie even have a chance of surviving? Yang Yao doesn't deny that there are definitely Taotie soldiers in other places as well.

Yang Yao was certain that Rose hadn't been sent out by Dukao. With what Denuo had left behind, Yang Yao didn't believe that dealing with a few Taotie would be any trouble.

Yang Yao didn't believe that giving China an excuse to prepare for foreign wars in advance. With such a large country as Germany, surely they had some blueprints for even slightly powerful weapons left?

To send Chinese soldiers to their deaths with these fire pokers is like sending them to their deaths.

Regardless of whether Dukao's intentions were good or ulterior motives, Yang Yao didn't have a good impression of him.

But thinking about all that now is useless. The most important thing right now is for Yang Yao to know the equipment configuration of the Taotie soldiers.

Yang Yao needed to calculate these factors carefully: defense, attack power, and speed.

However, Yang Yao was somewhat powerless to help those soldiers.

If I have the ability in the future, I could design a weapon and give it to China, so they wouldn't have to rely on human lives to fill this hole.

But right now, there's really nothing I can do to help them!

Overhead, numerous fighter jets roared overhead, along with helicopters, tanks, and armored vehicles. Yang Yao saw them all; this spectacle, if seen on the border, would make it seem like an impending national war.

But these things are only used to deal with a Taotie soldier today.

It seems that China has indeed received the message. In just a few minutes, the Taotie soldiers descended from the sky onto the road. Their armor, which glowed with fluorescence, and their energy spears made them look well-equipped.

After only a few seconds of silence, the Chinese soldiers immediately launched an attack on the Taotie soldier.

The bullets struck the Taotie's armor without even leaving a mark, and the cannonballs, given the speed of the flying machine beneath the Taotie's feet, simply couldn't hit it.

Upon seeing this, the Taotie couldn't help but burst into triumphant laughter:

"Hahaha, you natives of Earth, is this all you've got? Let me show you what real strength is!"

He raised his gun and fired an energy bullet that blasted the helicopter in the sky to pieces.

The Taotie was incredibly fast. If Yang Yao hadn't leveled up a few times recently, even his eyes wouldn't have been able to keep up with it.

"With a load-bearing capacity of no less than two tons and a speed of at least three hundred meters per second, is the energy of this firearm... electricity? Or dark energy?"

No, no, no, the Taotie are merely a spacefaring civilization; they couldn't possibly possess knowledge of dark energy.

It should be an energy-gathering beam, and it probably uses mineral energy. Is it some kind of mineral that I've never seen before?

The power is decent; it's most likely that it will primarily use energy-piercing projectiles...

Based on the Taotie's fighting figures on the hillside, Yang Yao calculated the combat strength of the Taotie soldiers from the ground. The howling firepower did not suppress the accuracy of Yang Yao's calculations.

Of course I'm afraid, but my efforts right now are so that I won't be afraid in the future!

But compared to fear, Yang Yao felt more excited. The bloodline of his nation made him not afraid of war, because he had another identity, that is, a Chinese youth. If he was afraid of war, wouldn't he be disgracing his ancestors?

Yang Yao also felt a pang of sorrow. He watched as the approaching soldiers fell one after another to the Taotie's guns. They were numerous, but the disparity in their weaponry was simply too great.

Heavy firepower had no chance of hitting the Taotie soldier. Standard bullets couldn't penetrate his defenses. In Ge Xiaolun's words, their technology was being crushed. If they stayed here, sooner or later these soldiers would be eliminated one by one by the Taotie.

Yang Yao felt an indescribable sense of frustration, even though he knew very well that this was not his world, nor was it his country.

But these people share a striking resemblance to that China. Even though their histories differ, this place is also called Huaxia (China), and they are also a group of passionate people.

He couldn't bear to let Yang Yao watch them die here; he couldn't get past that mental hurdle.

He just didn't know if it was all worth it. If he were exposed, what would the country's leaders think of him, and what would Dukao do?

All of this made Yang Yao think, because even without much consideration, he knew that a country couldn't function without its dark side; it was just that it was out in the open, unseen by others.

Are these people worth it? I clearly didn't intend to expose myself, and besides, can I, a broken manhole cover, change anything?
